intellectual Progress In Boston.

It is not unaffectedly pleasant to the
average Bostonian Of mature years to sii
and listen to Professor Drummond's talk
about evolution. Those of scientific and
highly differentiated intellects don't
mind, neither do the young who have
been brought up in the nurture and ad
monition of modern thought. But un-
scientific men and women, whose hair is
lightly streaked with more or less silver,
are little nervous while awaiting the
evenings yet to come whom Professor
Drummond will undoubtedly make the
final logical dash from the ape that
yearningly and with irresistible instinct
apes mankind to man, who still occasion
ally apes the ape.
1t will be easy for members of COM
munity nurtured on Browning to follow
the lecturer then, ard people who have
feasted more on the delicate fruits than
the hardy roots of life in their intellect

termined to dissociate the natural and
the spiritual, and for thoseit is not agree
able to be taken back into the physical
memories of the farof beginnings of the

which fling a man forward in the up

A QUEER THEORY.

Strawberries Said to Be Cause OF

Pomona Progress: 1t will cause sad

'rheumatics, to know that strawber-
ries are the probable cause Of many OF
their aches and pains aud should be
placed on the forbidden list. A leading
physician in the east says that he re-
ceives nearly as many cases of rheuma-
tism in straw wberry time as he gets dur
ing all the rest of the year. Both the
acid of the berry and the sugar that Ia
eaten with it, which is converted into
acid when eaten in large quantities. are
bad for rheumatism, which originates in
an acid state of the blood. Persons of a
rheumatic tendency, or diathesis, often
find it impossible to eat strawberries for
more than two or three days without ex-
periencing i'll effects, and those who
have no such tendency are apt to have
twinges in their knees and elbows DUR
ing the strawberry festival season. AS q
choice between Strawberries and rheu-
matism it is certain that in nine cases
out OF ten the berries will 90.

A specimen psrasol in olive wood is
furnished at the end with crystal globe
and golden top. Midway down the
stick is placed hollyhock rosette OF
silk, beneath which a little spring is
concealed. When the mistress of this

innocent-looking gold lid, presses the
spring button by the rosette and receives
from the top OF the parasol handle, up
on any part of her person, a refreshing

Napoleon as a shatchen.


Nine. Vincent. prolific writer On his
torical themes, has recently completed
q sketch of Napoleon Bonaparte's q match
making proclivities. According to her
researches, it would seem that the gen.
eral was the greatest matchmaker that
ever lived After repeated refusals the
doughty little, soldier himself finally won
the hand of Jpsephine. and deyoted his
matrimonial instincts to the, affairs of
others, No excuse was admitted from
bachelor. To. officers who pleaded
that they might be killed in battle he
answered: THE more reason for haste"
To those who urged that they could not
find vile, "Be that my care" he said,
and the same evening the affair would
be arranged. The poor received dowries
and trousseaux. One day by decree the
emperor married off 5000 soldiers at
once. Another day his great court dig
nitaries were obliged en- masse to marry.
While the general was still in his ap-
premiership one might have day in
which to tall in love and court his bride
of Napoleon's selection, but later there
was no question OF night for reflection
or an hour for wooing. No sooner
thought than said; no sooner said than
done.-[New York Sun.

SPREADING IT TOO THIN.

The citizens of IIavre are threatened
with three churches Benton Press.
While religion is undoubtedly good
thing. and the world cannot have too
much of IA good thing, it may well be
said that in many small western towns
there is an overcrowding of church edi-
fees, with consequent thin attendance
at all or most of them.
In some Of the smaller cities of Mime
sofa, notably Fergus Falls, proposition
for consolidation has actually been made.
Whether anything will come Of it or not
remains to be seen, but the wisdom and
utility Of the move cannot be ques-
toned. So far as doctrine is concerned
there is scarcely shade OF difference be.
tween the various denominations of the
Christian church. Rightly there should
be no difference whatever, and it ought
to be the rule for every Christian in the
world to be member, in full standing in
every Christian church in the world.
But this subject OF the multiplication
of church edifces is one which is regu-
lated as entirely by the law Of supply
and demand as any other on earth. Any
man can build church to represent his
denomination, and may even hire min
lister to preach in it, but tho congrega-
ton is another matter. Eyen in the
city OF Now York there are many
churches in which services are regularly
held to almost empty benches, and yet
New York is not 30 we'll supplied with
churches as Great Falls and many other
western cities in proportion to her popu-
lation.
1t can hardly be doubted that the
cause Of Christianity would be promoted
and strengthened by some process OF
condensation which should give us bet
ter church cdiiiccB, better preachers
and greater union and harmony in al
good works But whatever be tho faults

ROBBERY AT CHICAGO.

Evidence is accumulating every day
that the worlds fair will not be avail
able for people OF moderate means. The
people there seem to have gone crazy
with the idea that this is their last op-
portuniiy to get rich in short order, and
a conspiracy to rob the visitors to the
fair seems to have been entered into by
the entire community.
This is shameful state OF affairs re-
iecting no credit on human nature nor
on the people Of the western metropolis,
who have invited the universe to be their
guests on this occasion.
At Philadelphia in 1876 there was no
such display of grasping cupidity, ar d
people were accommodated at hotels and
boarding houses on terms that were but
slight advance, if any over ordinary
rates. At the time of the Paris eyposi-
tions it is the pride of the Parisians that
their visitors are not mulcted because
they come for the great show. If ex-
orbitant rates we're charged for every
thing at these times the people would
say, "Oh, the fair is given to bring us
here 50 that we may be robbed
1t was TO be expected that the admin
istration Of the fair would have provided
for fixed rates on the grounds for meals
served by those holding privileges, but
instead it seems that the authorities
themselves are in the conspiracy to the
extent Of permitting restaurants on the
grounds to practice the most shameful
eXtortion.
Every visitor who comes back from
Chicago tells the same story Of syste.
matte bleeding, both on the fair grounds
and throughout the city. Not even a
cot in barracks can be had for less
than 81 to 8 day while no kind of a
meal can be found for less than 81. II
man wants room to himself in any OF
the hotels he is taxed from :3 to $40 a
day for it.
The results Of this outrageous policy
are certain to he disastrous in the end,
although they may pay the extortlonerf
for the time being. Already people are
deciding that they do not care to 90 tC
Chicago to he ileeced, and the result is
going to be that SO many who meant tc
go will stay away that the fair may prove
financial failure and Chicago will lose
more than she makes by the schemes Of
robbery set on foot by her citizens.
