Survival of the Socially Fittest.

The benefits Of cooperation in the de-
velopment of man are too well recog-
nized to be denied Physically weaker
than many Of the animals that surround
ed him, he could not long have survived
in struggle for existence against them
had he been forced to continue that
struggle alone Nor could he have at
tanned the mental development upon
which so much Of his success has de-
pended without contact with his fellows.
The most important, if not the necessary,
condition Of mans success in the strug-
gle for existence is society. Social growth
becomes possible only through the sur
vival of the socially fit. In an advancing
society this process must ever tend to-
ward the production and preservation Of
the ''ethically best"
Recognition Of the rights Of others has
been equally as important in the evolu-
ton Of man as self assertion. Indeed, it
may be claimed that under the condi-
lions of social life it is a necessary con-
sequence of self assertion. Men could
not live long together unless they recog-
nized the right Of each to his own and
respected it. The survival of society,
like the survival of the individuals COM
posing it, becomes possible only through
adaptation to the necessary conditions
of life. and it will not be denied by Pro
fessor Huxley that morality is essential
to social well being. Science

Bulls In the Irish Commons.

There seems to have been an enor-
NOUS quantity of bulls perpetrated in
the Irish house of commons during the
last years of its existence. We read that
in 1895, in the course Of debate on the
leather tax, the chancellor of the ex-
chequer. Sir John Parnell, observed that
SIN the prosecution Of the present war
every man ought to be ready to give his
last guinea to protect the remainder"
Mr.. Vandeleur said that however that
might be, tax on leather would press
heavily on the barefooted peasantry OF
Ireland" to which Sir Boyle Roche re-
piled that this could be easily removed
by making the underleathers Of wood.
Speaking in favor of the union, Sir
Boyle said that one of its effects would
be ''that the barren hills would become
fertile valleys" In another debate he
said, Il boldly answer in the affirmative
no." In mentioning the Cape he de-
clared that ''nyrtles were so common
there that they make birch brooms of
them" He once mentioned some peo-
pie who ''were living from hand to
mouth like the birds Of the air." To Sir
BOYLE Roche also is attributed the por-
tentous warning, ''You should refrain
from throwing open the fioodgates of
democracy lest you should pave the way
for a general confagration. '-Seventy

Ringing the Dead Home.

In Shropshire, England, there is a Gus
tom of ringing the dead home"-viz,
Ginning all the bells instead Of ringing
only one while the funeral is on its way
to the church. When the procession
nears the churchyard gate, the Ginning
is stopped, and a minute bell is tolled.
The sections fees at Much Wenlock, as
laid down in 1889, include 80 chime, if
required before the funeral, o 1 o. At
Hatherleigh, a small town in Devonshire.
it was the prevalent custom to ring
lively peal on the church bells after
funeral. as elsewhere after a wedding.
Even in the present day in some re-
mote rural districts, and especially III
Hampshire, the practice still prevails of
leaving open the outer door OF the house
through which the corpse has been car
ried until the mourners return from
church. and in some places the custom
extends also to the windows. This arises
from a superstition that if the doors or
windows be shut there will certainly be
another death ii the house within year.
In some districts there is a belief that II,
when the moment of death approaches,
all the doors and windows of the house
are opened, the spirit will leave the body

The Value of Drawing.

Mr.. Thomas Woolner, r. A, tells how

drew plate, with knife and fork, and

When he had completed this diagram
of his wants, the face Of the hostess
frightened, and she at once left him to
execute his design. He then went for a
stroll and on returning found the pic

FANNY KcEnblc's Feat.

Fanny Ke1nble once stopped at the Re
we're House, Boston, and being splendid
horsewoman took daily rides, accompa-
MED only by an English groom. The
horse on this occasion was q thorough
bred, powerful animal, high spirited
and rather inclined to be vicious. He was
brought around to the front Of the hotel,
and after some difficulty Mrs. Kemble
mounted him. wearing the customary
lady's riding costume. But he refused
to move, except by fits and starts, varied
by rearing and plunging in a rather dan
gerous way. The rider, after trying in
vain to subdEe the obstinate steed, final
ly dismounted and told the groom to
change the saddle while she retired to
change her dress.
In few moments she reappeared in
mans costume, booted and spurred, and
springing into the mans saddle in man
fashion she gave the horse dose of cold
steel and hot whip which surprised him.
The more he reared and plunged and
kicked, the deeper went the spurs and
faster fell the lash. It was 10 minutes
before the battle ended in victory for
Fanny, but then she rode out of Bowdoin
square in triumph, amid the cheers OF
the vast crowd gathered to witness the
remarkable performance of remark

Hurying without Collins.

From the earliest ages to within about
100 years ago it appears to have been Gus
tomary to bury either with or without
coffin. The following is az extract from
@ terrier of lands, fees, ETC., belonging to

1717: For every grave in the church
yard and without coffin, 4 pence; if with
coffin, / shilling" Among the vestry
minutes of ST. Helen's, Bishopsgate, dat
ed March 5, 1864: Item, that none shall
be buryd within the church unless the
dead corpse be coffined IN wood" The
late John Bernard Palmer, first abbot Of
the Cistercians in England since the
reformation, was buried in the chapter
house at Loughborough without a coffin.
In the days when burial without coffin
was general the body was shrouded, tied
at the head and feet, and carried to the
grave in closed bier, which was gen.
orally provided by the parish for this
purpose. Westminster Gazette.

Various other tradesmen complained of
the care they had to take in order to pre-
vent being imposed on.
Two unconscious victims formed CO.

in a Forty second street store and pre-
sented quarter, from which she await
ed the change.
"Now, look you here" shouted the

it. Hand up that lemon. You're regular

YOU dare to show your fasse in store

woman tried to get in her explanation
that she had been imposed upon herself
and had no idea the coin was bad.
Ten minutes later brought in a fash
ionably dressed woman, who bought
cheap basket Of grapes, presenting in ex-
change the massive, unpopular cart

The man jingled it, or rather didn't,

POYertY'S Chance.

On that part of lower Clark street
where the houses have shriveled away
until they are never more than 90 feet
high, where the sidewalks are 1noldy and
decayed, where fiimsy lace curtains hang
in the windows and where no man looks
you in the eye, a ccal wagon was seen
the other day. It was overloaded, and
chunk weighing 30 pounds or more fell
off when the wheel struck a deep rut. A
little Italian lounging before the entrance
to basement saw the block of coal fall,
and he ran for it. But it had broken
into several pieces. He captured the
largest piece. A colored driver whose
army coat was fastened about him by a
piece of hempen Irvine took two of the
smaller pieces, and then a woman with
a basket trotted down a stairway and
gathered up what was left, even to the
crumbs. In certain parts of the city
