Peace, Troubled Souls!

To the live citizen in the actual swirl
of life, nothing is more amusing than
the doleful, pessimistic lucubrations of
college professors and presidents who sit
in their easy chairs in shaded scholastic
bowers and know about as much as
kitten of the real, throbbing world about
them. A college president knows per-
haps how to discipline giddy young men,
though he is not always successful in
that, and college professor knows about
Greek roots and Euclid. But when they
come up smiling every summer and tell
US regularly that the world is going to
the dogs, we beg to submit respectfully
that they don't know anything about it.
Students under them catch their cue,
and crate in the same dismal tones.
Now, we are not going to ruin. There
are statesmen also in these days. And
there are as many honest, unselfsh,
kindly people as there ever were.

to pass along the sidewalks early In the
summer evening without pushing chill
dren and women aside. Human beings
are packed together even on the side
walks. A reeking smell strikes the nos
trils as one passes tho corners of these
streets.
As New York city Is already, so the
other large cities of the Union are be-
coming with respect to the tenement
system. Murder. death, crime, suicide
and pestilence have their feeding ground
and breeding places here. Not a day
passes but some desperate deed is record
ed. Even in several of the smaller cit
les it is dangerous to pass along certain
streets In the evening unaccompanied by
a policeman. These streets are always
the ones on which the pestilehtial tene-
ment house is situated. If the railway
companies and philanthropists could
only devise some plan Of thinning out
these seething masses of humanity and
breaking up the hotbeds of crime, what
a blessing to civilization it would be.

FOUR NEW STATES.
South Dakota, North Dakota, Mon
tana, Washington.

On February p, 1889, the President signed
the bill creating South Dakota, North DakO-
ia, Montana and Warrington states of the
Union.
SOUTH DAKoTA.-rhe great prairie state, to
which the St; Paul. Minneapolis & Manitoba
railway has three main lines reaching Ellen n
Sioux Falls. Go to South Dakota via the st.
Paul Minneapolis & Manitoba railway and
pass through St. Paul and Minneapolis en-
route.
NORTH DAKoTA.-There is grown the No. /
hard Scotch fife wheat; whose healthful Gil
mate nurtures the most vigorous and brainy
civilization on earth; where single counties
raise more wheat, oats and barley than entire
states; the soil Of whose fertile prairies is
richer than the valley of the Nile; where the
Turtle mountain, MinOt and Devils lake land
districts invite the home seeker to secure a
free home. Magnificent daily, train service
to Fargo, Grafton, Devils Lake, Rottineau
Observation-Disclosures in its mines of pre-
cious metals; wealth in its 100000 head Of
live stock; profit in its fertile fields, produc-
state or territory; the richest country per
universal; which has the best paid labor in
the world; q balmy winter climate, caused
by warm winds from the Pacific. The St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway is the
only railroad passing th5Qggh Gontin M,n
neapolis to the Rocky mountains. It runs
through the great reservation of 1906, 900
acres of land, free to settlers, in the Milk
dance! no irrigation required; the only line
passing through Great Falls, with its 100000
horse power cataracts; immense coal veins,
and surrounding farming country of free
land; through Helena, the capital city and
commercial center of Montana, and Butte,
the richest mining camp on earth, to San
Francisco by the Columbia river valley,
Portland and Shasta Route, or Ogden, Utah,
to California points. Remember this is the
only line running dining cars, sleeping cars
and free colonist sleepers of its own from st.
Paul and Minneapolis to Great Falls, Helena
and Butte. 1t ID also the shortest line to
Butte.
WASIIINGTON.- The country of tall timber,
indented by Puget Sound, the Mediterranean
of the Pacific. Do not forget that the St.
Paul, Minneapolis Manitoba railway is the
only line which offers choice of three routes
to the Pacific coast. The Manitoba Pacific
route is the only line by which passengers en-
route for Tacoma, Portland and San Frencisco
can pass through Fort Townsend and Seattle.
Free aQlQpist sleepers run through without
change or delay. DISTANCE to the Pacific
coast is same as by other lilies, huL RFices Of
tickets are five and ten dollars less. Take the
Seattle route.

Mans Spiritual Evolution.

Professor Alfred Russell Wallace as
serts that the Darwinian theory of evo-
luton Is not opposed to belief in the
spiritual nature and origin of man. On
the contrary, it is powerfully in favor of
It. Professor Wallace writes a book in
support of this position. The work is
called "Darwinism.
It agrees wholly with Darwin in adj
vocating the gradual evolution of man
from the simpler animal forms, up
through the authropoid ape to the hui
man species. This evolution, Professor
Wallace thinks, took place upon the
plains Of Central Asia. That the missing
line has never been discovered may be
owing to the fact that no geologist has
ever explored the basin Of Central Asia.
Here, then, is a field still left for ambi-
tious geologists.
But having travelled the same path
with Darwin thus far, Professor Wallace
here branches off. He afirms there are
faculties in the nature of man that can
not be accounted for on the mere theory
of natural selection, struggle for life,
and the survival of the fittest. As Illus
trations are mentioned the musical, meta
physical, mathematical and artistic fac
ulties. Somewhere higher power, the
spiritual power, has stepped in, and in
troduced these into that strange piece of
work we call man. Professor Wallace,
no less scientific than Darwin himself,
advances arguments to prove his ground.
The work will be comfort to orthodox
believers who, hesitating between science
and religion, would like to find some
Kround where both can meet.

Tenement House Life.

The population Of New York city isnow
over 1906, 900. OF this great mass Of peo-
pie nearly 100000 live in tenement
houses. A tenement house is classed asone
that contains over twenty inhabitants. OF
the 400, 900 who live outside the tenement
houses, by far the larger part live in
boarding houses and in the high class
flats and apartments that are not classed
with the tenement houses. Subtracting
these, there remains onlya very small
number Of families indeed who occupy
a house to themselves. Rents and real
estate are SO high one must be almost a
millionaire to have a whole house.
In the tenement buildings dens have
been found inwhich human beings live
twenty-five in room. This Is especially
true of the italian quarter. In several
of the streets Of the east side of the city
it is literally and absolutely impossible

Tho New Catholic University.

March Z Pope Leo XIII gave definite
authority for the establishing of great
Roman Catholic university In the United
States. It viii be called the University
of Washington. The ancient Catholic
college at Georgetown will be supple
mented by course of higher studies,
particularly in theology and kindred
topics.
The new university viii be open to
students next November. The arch
bishop Of Baltimore will be ex-oficio
chancellor. Students who have finished
the course Of instruction in other Catho-
lie colleges In good standing in the coun'
try will be permitted to enter the insti-
tuition at Washington without examina-
ton.
Bishop Keane is rector of the new uni
versity, A spacious building for its &C
commodation is now nearly completed.
Bishop Keane made careful inspection
of the universities of Europe. getting
ideas for the American one. It Is his
Judgment that the German rather than
the English model for q great seat OF
learning should be followed. The Ger
man model embraces the gymnasium
and the school.
There will be special departments for
professional careers, and it will be per.
mitted to take up particular study and
pursue it. But, especially, there will be
afforded to the priesthood, young and
old, opportunity for wide postgraduate
course. The fosterers of the university
wish to aid in giving to the world dis
tinguished American scholars, by offer

They are from all parts of the Union,

Lightning Transit.

The latest invention in quick trans
portation is one to take away the breath
Of even this rapid age. A system has
been adopted by the Electro-Automatic
company, of Baltimore, by which it is
claimed that mail and light freight of all
kinds can be transported at the rate of
three miles a minute, 100 miles an hour.
Light trains, consisting of the motor
car and one or more carrying coaches,
will be sent through the country by cleo
sricity at this fearful rate of speed. There
will be no human attendants on the
train. It will be controlled and directed
from the generating stations. The rail-
way track is twenty-four inches wide,
xhe motor car eighteen feet long,
and pointed at both ends, to do away
with atmospheric friction. For the
same reason the cars fit into one an
other telescope fashion, thus giving a
smooth, regular surface to the air. "The
mails between New York and Omaha
will be carried in a night" it is said,
through this amazing new development
of mans genius Special rails are de-
vised to keep the train from flying the
track. The system has been fully
tried at an experimental station in
Baltimore, with track two miles in
circuit The train ascends grade here
Of 1903 feet to the mile easily and per-,
eectly. The originator Of this stupendous
invention is Mr David G. Weems, of
Baltimore. 1t is expected that ere long
a plan win be perfected by which the
present steam railways can be utilized
for electric tranMt.

Horseback Riding for Health.

DR.. David n. Patterson contributes to
the July Outing a paper on horseback
riding which has some points of real in
terest. He says that for both men and
women who are closely confined indoors
by sedentary pursuits there is no formof
exercise which imparts tone and energy
to the whole physical system and at the
same time gives such wide range OF
mental enjoyment as horseback riding.
A rider must have a genuine affection
for his horse. From horse to rider in this
case flows steady current of fine mag
netism. "The horse is regular battery
for the generation of animal electricity"
A horse must be comfortably saddled
and bridled; his nervous, sensitive mouth
must be at ease. His riders weight
must be adapted to him. DR.. Patterson
remarks:
With these few suggestions properly attended
to, together with such others as may be prompted
by experience a five or ten mile ride on clear
summer morning cannot fan to prove an inestim-
able blessing.
For invalids, too, horseback riding is
invaluable. It will bring rest and heal
ing to the anxious, the overtaxed and
broken down. It often cures consump-
ton in the earlier stages. If you are
getting too fat, the good daily shaking
up will bring your weight down. If you
are too thin, and nerveless and declining,
it will tone you up and make your
muscles firm and plump. If you suffer
from insomnia, it will make you sleep.
If you have dyspepsia, ten mile ride
will make you feel as if you could eat
nails.
Best of all, it takes you into the sweet,
open country. Finally:
That horseback riding Is conducive to the ele
walton Of good morals and the development Of the
''small, sweet courtesies Of hfe'' is evident to
even the most casual observer The exercise Inn.

\ Worthy American Work.

The first three numbers have appeared
of the new Century Dictionary, an En-
cyclopedic Lexicon of the English Lam
guage." This magnificent work has been
in progress number Of years. No one
person could make a dictionary in our
time. The learning required would be
too vast to be attained in one life, such
is the differentiation of knowledge in
our age. The work of preparing the
words in the Century Dictionary has
been given out to experts in all the spe-
cial departments, as law, theology, etc.
The scientific terms have been put into
the hands of Professor Elliott Cones, of
Washington. The principal editor is
Professor William Dwight Whitney.
The most important feature of these
volumes is that they will be not only a
mere dictionary defining terms, but an
encyclopedia describing and explaining
etymologically, historically and other
wise.
There are are now in the English Ian.
guage 100000 words It grows at the
rate of several thousand a year. Ger
tainly the person does not live who
knows the meaning Of all the words in
the English language. Besides new
words, new meanings and changed
meanings are continually being added
to the same word Take the word
"cable." Webster or Worcester would
not have known what was meant if one
had spoken to them of a submarine cable
or cablegram, or of cabling a message.
Simply the application of electricity to
the industries, and that chiefly in the
last twenty years, has added several
chapters to encyclopedia lexicography.
It is matter of pride and pleasure to
Americans that we have in our own
country the necessary ability and schol-
arship to carry through to the end a
work of such importance as the Century
Dictionary.
