describes the attitude Of public opinion
toward morality: eve go along and
wink with both eyes at the wrongdoings
and shortcomings of A and also of B,
and exc of Q, and all the rest of them;
but by the time we get to o or p, we
pull up and cry aloud that this thing has
gone too far, and we must make stand;
and 80 we come down upon p, who Is
not whit more guilty than any one else,
his only crime consisting in the fact that
no CHANGED to be standing just In the
place where the lightning struck; and
we denounce p; we excoriate p; we os-
tracise p.
'Having done that, our virtue, wearied
with the unwonted exercise, falls asleep,
and all the other letters go along doing
exactly the same thing, until finally, by
the time x is reached, we wake up again
and go through the same process. If one

has to do Is to select his time and run in,

virtue. New York Tribune.

Fxss Of pirrerent peopla.

Eyes have always been regarded as a
sure tribal characteristic. Tacitus, for
example, describes the Germans as
''fierce, with blue eyes and red hair. "
The Celts are mentioned as being swarthy
skinned and black eyed; the Gauls are
red haired and light eyed, while the Nu-
bians, the Turks, the Egyptians and the
Italians have always been spoken of as
( "the dark eyed races" These peculiari-
ties have not changed. Even today the
people of the temperate zones have gen.
orally light colored eyes, while those OF
the torrid and the frigid zones are usu-
ally dark, or even black. OF the races
in particular, the only one that can be
said to be Eight eyed" is the Caucasian,
and even in this race the eyes are by nc
means uniform in point of color.
The whole period of human history
goes to prove that the light haired, blue
eyes races are capable of the highest de-
gree of civilization, but it does not by any
means follow that the highest degree OF
civilization is confined to people of blonde
complexion. There was q time when q
blue eyed person was rarely seen, and
today seven-eighths of the worlds in
habitants have dark eyes. Layater,
when discussing the eye as feature in
national physiognomy, gave the follow
ing as the results of his observations
1.-THE Italians have small eyes; the Ger.
mans, light colored eyes surrounded by
many wrinkles; the English, strong
open, steadfast eyes; and the Swiss, eyes
that are very dull looking."-St. Louis
Republic,
