countries, contrary to the hope and wish OF the
contracting parties, be attacked by Russia, each
pledged to assist the other with its entire MILL

terms as both agree to accept Article second
provides that should either country be attacked
BY any other power the other pledges Itself not
to support the aggressOf but to maintain an atti-
tude OF neutrality. should Russia assist the ag-
gresSor, however, article one comes into force and

Here, again. we have only conjecture to guide
us With respect to the bodies constituting the
solar system, which from their comparative prox-
unity to the earth might be supposed to furnish
solution to this problem efu:observatlcns have
heretofore offered no indication whatever OF the
existence or life upon their surfaces. But life in
some form or another may, Notwithstanding exist
on those bodies. we must bear In mind that the
planets are In all probability in various stages OF
development. 1t may be reasonably presumed
mat the planets Jupiter, saturn, Uranus and Nep-
cooled down more slowly than the earth and the
other smaller planets or the solar system and are
therefore less advanced as abOdes OF animated ex.
istence than the latter are. But even in the case
OF the earth 1t must be admitted TO have reyolyed
millions OF years round the sun merely as fiery
orb before life appeared on its surface and even
after 1t had cooled down and become the abode OF
animated existence 1t produced during countless
millions OF years more, life only in its lowest
FORMS The existence OF man is but OF yesterday
This is an Instructive lesson. 1t teaches
us that, although man exists on the
earths surface 1t does not follow that beings OF the
same order OF intelligence as man exists upon ali
the other planets or even upon any OF them. Upon
some OF the planets life may not have yet come
a less advanced stage than upon the earth; and
the same remark Is obviously applicable to the
numberless bodies OF the starry armament The
state OF the question then is this: We cannot pro-
nOunce positively upon the existence or life any
where beyond the planet upon which we dwell.
But reasoning from analogy, we may suppose that
certain II not ALL OF the other bodies or the plan
etary system, which in SO many respects bear
strong affinity to our own planet, are In like man.
ner the abOdeS OF life In some form or another and
that similarly there are countless bodies In the
stellar regions, which may also be the abOdes OF
life. This Is a question, however, upon which the
noble science Of astronomy, SO distinguished for
the eXactitude Of Its conclusions does not venture
to pronounce positive opinion, seeing that there
exists no sure basis OF facts available for its
sideratiOn. In these circumstances It Is left Tor

CDapefOne cages At IODOggan Slt0e0s
From the Chicago Herald.
When the entire north side upper.tendom Joined
the TOboggan Club they did not at the same mo-
ment forget all the proprietiesL 1t was generally
agreed among the venerable patrons and patron
esses" OF the club that young and unmarried wo-
men just as much required to be chaperoned while
flying down an icy slide in the dark casped in the
arms or young man, as they did at q ball In a
neighbours house. The idea, however, was for q
while full OF difficulties. It was not to be sup
posed, for instance. that the most self-Sacrfncng
OF the duennaS would go to the length Of putting
on short blanket dresses and leggtngs and tobog-
gan caps especially not the short and fat ones.
Neither was It reasonable to suppose that the old
ladies would stand out patiently at the top OF
the slide with the thermometer 10 degrees below
zero, and good naturally stamp around for two
hours on the boards while the young ones were
having their fun.
In this crisis bright mind, who saw the peril of
Ing house directly over the slide and just in the
middle OF 1t. 1t solved the whole question and
saved the club Now nightly the chaperones
ensconce themselves in this little block house and
watch their charges from this coign Of vantage.
They are helped to fOrgetfulneSs by flre which is
kept red hot all the while by the more thoughtful
and diplomatic among the young men. II any

dow to another, watch her charge every moment
OF the time, and even, by code OF Signals signify
her displeasure, II she feels any.

those who wore the gray--was a

the incidents, each Justly proud OF

all standing as the heroic reliance of
one grand union and country, made
grander and more united by the

union at Gettsburg, as He will
smile on the great union which all
heartily support.
