Mans Relation to Els Country.

Not recognizing the fundamental dis
tinction between society which, having
fighting for its chief business, makes
sustentation subordinate, and a society
which, having sustentation for its chief
business, makes fighting subordinate,
there are many who assume that a dis
ciplinary policy appropriate to the first
is appropriate to the last also. But the
relations of the individual to the state
are in two cases entirely different. I'm
like the Greek, who, not owning HIM
self was owned by his city, the English
man is not in any appreciable degree
owned by his nation, but in very posi-
tive way owns himself. Though, if of
fit age, he may on great emergency be
taken possession Of and made to help in
defending his country; yet this contin-
gency qualities to but small extent the
private possession Of his body and the
self directing of his actions. Herbert
Spencer in Popular Science Monthly.

There is a log of yellowish colored
wood standing just outside of Chi Hua
gate, Pekin. This log has remained
in lis present position since the fall
Of the old Wing dynasty. It is in
good preservation and has commanded
the respect of all classes and conditions
Of people. Insects in China usually
make inroads in timber in very short
while. hut they are said never to alght
upon this sacred tree trunk, and it is
true that they have not left a single
trace of their work upon it, while the
timbers in every direction are perfect
honeycomb of insect work
The Chinese people believe that the
log IS the hahitatien of some god, and
on that account gather and worship at
its base at least once year. Among
the higher classes the day for this unique
species Of worship is the first of each
succeeding month, unless that day
should happen TO be new moon day.
Oct. of every year the emperor COM
mands the board of ceremonies to ap-
point a committee to pay their respects
to the deified log - Chicago Times

There is a prevalent idea that men
who abstain from tobacco indulge to ex-
cess in some other stirnulant. There is
some truth in this. Balzac. who es-
chewed tobacco as weed that injured
the body, attacked the intellect and stu
pefied the nations, drank great quanti-
ties of coffee, which produced the terri
BILE nervous disease that shortened his
life.
Goethe was q nonsmoker. So was
Niebuhr. But the former is computed
to have drank some $4,000 bottles Of
wine during his lifetime. and the latter
took tremendous quantity of snuff.
Nevertheless it must be acknowledged
that very large number of brain work
ers indulge in no stinlulants whatever,
or use them very sparingly. New York

latitude was found to be about six miles
north. There WINS n pleasant breeze

Suddenly he called on the second mate
who had charge: ssHands to the port

little ship came around with the men
rounding in upon the braces too aston
ished to sing out. The captain walked
the deck chafing his hands and chuck

to the second mate. Have what, SIR
asked the astonished officer. "The

EQUATOR cried the mate, looking around
him. 'sYes, sir, true as hair by The

sir. Keep to that course, dye hear.
Not an inch off to port or starboard, Oh

The second mate, glancing through
the skylight, observed the chief officer
iE the cabin, and with slight motion
Of his head summoned him on deck. The
man arrived, with face Of wonder,
gazing aloft and around. and not a little
amazed to find the ship bound to the
eastern American seaboard instead Of
New Zealand. ssThis is to be an achieve.

an expression Of ecstasy on his singular
countenance, the keel of this bark will

The record of death in Alpine
climbing shows that fourteen people
lost their lives last year. larger num-
Der than for many years. This was
due to the fact that the majority of
these victims were tourists who ven
tured into dangerous places, probably
against the protests of their guides.
and thus brought their whole party to
q sudden and terrible death. 1t is a
singular fact that two of the victims
were guides of long experience. One
was Carrel, whose name is familiar to
any reader of Whymper's interesting
book on mountain climbing. He per-
ished from exposure, after guiding his
party through a terrible storm. The
other was Untersteiner, who foolishly
crossed a glacier alone and probably
fell into crevasse. Stricter laws will
no doubt be passed by the Austrian
and Swiss governments to guard
against the rashness Of tourists, for the
mania for Alpine climbing seems to be
increasing.

The steamship companies have finally
awakened to q realization that tho new immi-
grafton law is to be enforced Saturday
meeting of representatives of all theprrncipal
steamship lines was held in New York to con.
slider the situation. Colonel Weber was In
vited to be present, and he accepted. The
steamship company agents made the point
that the lines were under contract with such
passengers as they took to land them in this
country, and if the people were not allowed
TO land, the companies were liable 10 an action
OF breach of contract in the countries from
whose ports the steamers sailed. Further.
they said that they had no facilities for ne
strainiDg immigrants from landing who had
been placed on board their ships for n ( srn TO
the ports whence they canse. They also
doubted their legal right to restrain any per
son from going ashore who iaststed UPON
doing so
