Shall Fortunes be Limited
by Law

The following is from an editorial
topic in the Century for April
{" If we acquire the habit of now and
then looking at the case from this side,
from which we unhappily so seldom
look at it, the proposal to put legal
limits to the amount of fortunes will
take an entirely new aspect. We shall
see that we are, in reality, making the
definite proposal that our law shall
henceforth forbid any citizen to make
the world more than so much richer in
his lifetime, to provide employment for
more than legally limited number of
those who need and desire employment,
or to be more Jealous than the law
allows in seeking out commodities or
doing any similar service for the general
public. Franklin once attempted to
reach the common sense of the British
pnblic in a pamphlet entitled Rules
for Reducing Great Empire to Small
One If a second Franklin should adj
dress us, must he meet as little success
in combating the proposal to put legal
limits to the wealth of the country?
If the proposal needed any further
illumination, it would be found in the
impossibility of limiting the injurious
results of its adoption. Human ability
is in the habit of taking very fair aver
age care of itself; if prosecuted in one
city, it will not be slow to seek refuge
and a welcome in another. If New
York could place a progressive income
tax on her statute-book prohibiting in
comes above a fixed limit, one result
would certainly be a diminutiOn of
Nam Yorly ipcomac hut that moull ba
far from all. The incomes thus limited
would rapidly disappear from New
York, while Connecticut and New
Jersey would show sudden, surpris-
ing and coincident increase of large
incomes. So, if the scheme should be
adopted by the whole United States,
that country would meet an indefinite
dead loss, to the gain of Canada or
Europe. Human ability would find its
natural refuge and enjoy its natural
income somewhere unless the whole
world could be united against it as i'm
placably as the Roman Empire used to
be against the victim of the Emperor.
Until the proposal to limit fortunes by
law can be supplemented by recipe
for securing the acquiescence or neu-
trality of those who are to be most
directly affected by it, it must be con-
sidered as really outside of the province
of discussion. If the great fortune is
the result of defiance or prostitution of
law, let the law be made to fit the case
but if it is the natural result of human
ability, why should it not go on benefit
ing the community up to the natural
limit of human powers of management

Backbone.

Says the Christian: l." One thing
which Christians, as well as others,
need at the present day is backbone.
Not backbone like ramrod, that can
not yield or bend, but well-articulated
spinal column, which is strong enough
to hold man upright and keep him
from being crushed beneath the bur-
dens that press upon him. These are
days of easy-going piety, and men are
too often ruled by compromise rather
than by conscience. Says Mr.. Spur
geon: Coax has given place to willow.
Everybody has grown limp. Out of
the generality of limpness has come an
admiration for it. A man can not speak
a plain word without being accused of
bitterness, and if he denounces error
he is narrow-minded, for all must join
the universal admiration society or be
placed under ban and be howled down.
Now, in such a condition of things as
this, there is special call not for stub
borness and crustiness, but for gen.
tie, patient, unyielding consciousness
and firmness which anchors the soul to
the everlasting Rock and causes the
heart to rest on him who is the Way,
the Truth and the Life, and who will
never leave nor forsake u.s."

Witness for Christ i'm the Home.

1t is in the private spheres and
familiar daily intercourse of life that
most of us are called to give this
testimony, and to give it by mani
Testing in this intercourse and in
these retired spheres the spirit of
our Master. What an opportunity does
the family, for example, afford for con-
slant and effective witness-bearing
How a mother may honor Christ in
what she says to her children about
him, and especially by the manner in
which she fulflls her everyday home
duties. How a wife may thus testify
of Christ to her worldly, unconverted
husbandl When does child's educa-
ton begin? AT six months? A year?
Two years? No, it began when they
began, the moment they entered the
little world called theirs. Every touch
of the mothers hand, every tone of her
voice educates her child. Many an
ear enjoys, is soothed by music, while
ignorant of its laws. So the youngest
child in the household is lulled by I'M
comprehended harmones from its very
birth. Affections group around and
bless it like so many angels. 1t could
not analyze or comprehend an angel,
but it could feel the soft shelter of its
wings. Mrs. PrentiSS.

Personalities and Ill-RepOrts.

" Keep clear of personalities in gen
eral conversation, says DR.. John Hall.
"Talk of things, objects, thoughts.
The smallest minds occupy themselves
with personalities. Personalities may
sometimes be talked, because we have
to learn and find out mems character
istics for legitimate objects, but it is
to be with confidential persons. Do
not needlessly report i'll of others.
There are times when we are COM
PEELED to say, l do not think Bouncer
true and honest man. But when
there is no need to express an opinion,
let poor Bouncer swagger away
Others will take his measure, no doubt,
and save you the trouble of Analysing
him and instructing them. And as far
as possible dwell on the good side of
human beings. There are family
boards where a constant process of
depreciating, assigning motives and
cutting up character goes forward.
They are not pleasant places. One
who is healthy does not wish to dine
at a dissecting-tabe. There is evil
enough in man, God knows! But it is
not the mission of every young man
and woman to detail and report it all.
Keep the atmosphere as pure as pos
sible and fragrant with gentleness and
charity"

Curious Wills.

A batch of curious wills has been
resurrected by a writer for CasSeVs
Magazine. One lawyer said: 4" How is
this? You leave all to stranger when
you have relatives, nephew" {" My
nephew is a good-for-nothing spend
thrift, not worth ha'penny." "Oh,
dear, no. Since you last saw him, two
years ago, he has made large fortune"
" Dear, me, that is quite another thing.
In that case | make him absolutely my
heir" John Reed, the gas-lighter of
the Walnut street theater in Philadel-
phia, willed that his head be taken
from his body and the skull be duly
prepared and employed to represent
Yorick's in the play of Hamlet"
DR.. Ellerby of London willed his heart
to one friend, his lungs to another and
his brains to third, with orders that
they should be preserved properly, and
declared that if either were unfaithful
to the trust he would come back and
torment the unfaithful one. The lega-
cies were refused, nevertheless. A
man named Furstone left S35 900 for
any man legitimately bearing the name
of Furstone who would find and marry
a female Furstone. A Scotchman left
to each of his daughters her weight in
IS bank notes. One got S250,000 and
the other $685., 900. A New York man
is said to have willed that his seventy
one pairs of trousers should be sold at
auction for the benefit of the poor, and
that they should in no way be meddled
with or examined before the sale, and
that no person should be allowed to
buy more than one pair. The seventy
one pairs, it is said were duly sold to
seventy-one different purchasers, and
each found 81 900 in the pockets of his
purchase. A woman anxious to give
to her servant her clothing, iewelry
and other little articles, called them her
personality " in her will, and the SER
want came in for $50, 900 cash.

Food, Beauty and Morality.

Professor f. II. Miles of the Uni
versity of Maryland delivered lecture
to large audience of young men re-
Gently on "Food and DIGESTION" In
the course of his lecture Professor
Miles, in speaking of the effects of an
insufficient quantity of food, said:
The fat disappears first, then the
muscles waste away, and finally the
bones come through the skin. The
brain, the spinal cord and the nerves
are nourished to the last. Like king
in a beleagured city to whom his loyal
subjects give up their food, the nobler
organs are longest nourished. In
starvation there is not simple hunger of
the stomach, but hunger of the whole
body. 1t is not strange that when
hunger presses on people they will do
strange things. 1t produces insanity,
and they have been driven to eating
what has been called strange flesh =
that is, to cannbalism. There are mill
ions of people who have not enough
to eat. 1t is at the bottom of anarchy.
The police may give them loaf of
bread, but the whole body is ill-nour-
ished and restless feeling results.
Not much can be done with the grown
up people of the criminal classes, but
the child criminal comes first. The
criminal classes are called dirty, lazy
and ugly. OF course they are. They
are dirty because they have no spare
heat to let go; lazy, because the mus
Giles are weak and nature tells them to
keep still when hungry. You would
be astonished to know how much of the
beauty of the fairest woman is made up
of fat. The criminal classes are ugly
because they have no fat. How could
child whose muscles and nervous sys-
TEN have been partly starved be eX-
pected to have all the sympathies and
instincts of higher class of society?
An everyday Sabbath-school, with a
breakfast before the lesson, would be a
capital thing for poor children. Some
say the poor themselves are to blame
for their condition by living too luXu-
riously. One of the most intense crav-
ings of the Greedy Arctic party was for
sweetmeats. Tea and coffee do more
good than harm. They stimulate not
only the brain, but the activities of the
whole body. There will be a great mis-
sion to the poor some day to see that
they get enough of good food. "-Bal-
timOre Sun.

A Good Experience.

Christians might avoid much trouble
and inconvenience if they would only
believe what they professional God is
able to make them happy without any
thing else. They imagine that if such
a dear friend were to die, or such and
such blessings were to be removed,
they would be miserable, whereas God
can make them thousand times hap
pier without them. To mention my
own case, God has been depriving me
of one blessing after another, but as
every one was removed he has come in
and filled up its place; and now, when
| am a cripple and not able to move, |
am happier than | ever was in my life
before, or ever expect to be, and If |
had believed this twenty years ago |
might have been spared much anx-
iety.-PdySOn.

very curious trait of animal instinct, such
as would have delighted Darwin's heart,
which he witnessed while lying at

Condore, off the coast of Cochin China
A gang of apes, old and young, came
down to the beach regularly every morn
ing to look at the ship. The old men
and women would seat themselves in
rows and gaze at us, sometimes for an
hour, without changing their places or
attitudes, seeming to be absorbed in
wonder. | became quite familiar with
some of their countenances. The young
people did not appear to be so strongly
impressed. They would walk about
the beach in twos and threes-making
love, most likely, and settling future
family arrangements. The children,
meanwhile, would be romping around
the old people, screaming and bark
ing in very delight. If a boat APP
preached them the old people would
give a peculiar whistle, when the
younger members of the family would
betake themselves at once to the cover
of the adjoing jungle. A hunting
party, landing here one morning, shot
one of these old apes. The rest scam
pered off and were seen no more that
day. The next morning, upon turning
my opera-glass upon the beach, saw
the monkeys as usual, but they were
broken into squads and moving about
in some disorder, instead of being seated
as usual. | could plainly see some of
them at work. Some appeared to be
digging in the sand and others to be

such of the debris of the forest as they
could gather conveniently. 1t was my

for my chronometers. AS the boat APP
