MANS ESCAPE FROM FEAR.
Dr. Hebcr Newton speaks OF the
Dreadful Feeling of Terror.
"Montaigne has said 'The tnlng
am most afraid of Is fear.' All the iiis
that man has suffered In the aggregate
would no. probably equal the misery
he has endured through fear. Ine pro.
gress OF civilization has been marked
by steady growth out OF the rear
under which man has covered sniVer"
iugly upon the earth. Ii you nave
read that charming bit OF fancy. .Als

the reality aud seriousness OF mans
ancient fear of his fellow animals, from
which in most lands he haS eraoa'iy
escaped until now we scarcely tnink Oh
this terror at all. Mans fear OF mSn
has been much slower In disappearing.

rule of earth. What fights were those
