Besides, Mr.. Draper is wrong

Natural inequality of Mem.

Thus men are certainly not born free
and equal in natural qualities; when they
are born the predicates free" and
equal" In the political sense are not APP
piicable to them, and as they develop,
year by year, the differences in the politi-
cal potentialities with which they really
are born become more and more obvious
ly converted into actual differences-the
inequality of political faculty shows it
self to be a necessary consequence of the
inequality of natural faculty.
1t is probably true that the earliest men
were nomads. But among a body of
naked, wandering savages, though there
may be no verbally recognized distinc-
tions of rank or office, superior strength
and cunning confer authority of more
valid kind than that secured by act of
parliament; there may be no property in
things, but the witless man will be pow
erty stricken in ideas, the clever man
will be a capitalist in that same COM
modify, which in the long run buys all
other commodities; one will miss oppor-
tunities, the others will make them; and
proclaim human equality as loudly as
you like, Witless will serve his brother.
So long as men are men and society is
society, human equality will be a dream;
and the assumption that it does exist is
impracticability on every theory of what
ought to be which starts from it.--Pro-
fessor Huxley in Popular Science.

The following story is told by DR.
Romanes: IAN elephant was chained
TO tree in the compound. The driver
made an oven at short distance, in
which he put his rico cakes to bake;
then covered them with stones and
grass and went away. When he was
gone, the elephant with his trunk I'M
fastened the chain round his foot,
went to the oven and uncovered it,
took out and ate the cakes. recovered
the oven with the stones and grass as
before, and went back to his place. He
could not fasten the chain round his
own foot. so he twisted it round and
round it, in order to look the same.
and when the driver returned the ele
plant was standing with his back to
the oven. The driver went TO his
cakes, discovered the theft, and, look
ing round, caught the elephants eye
as he looked back over his shoulder
out Of the corner Of it. Instantly he
detected the culprit. and condign
punishment followed. The whole oc-
currcnce was witnessed from the win
dows by the family.
