Three Little " ords.

With the three little words, ''why, A"
show," what" is quite possible for
some blockhead to puzzle philoso-
phere. ''Why does the magnetic
needle point always to the north?"
! Glow was the universe made"
"What is Light" Here are three
questions that any fool may ask, yet
that all the wisdom IN the world can
not answer. There are hundreds of
other queries, as simple and as likely
to suggest themselves to the inquisi-
tive, to which science can make no
satisfactory reply.
On the other hand, positive philos-
ophy, history, the mechanic arts, and
other practical branches of human
knowledge afford conclusive re-
sponses t. a vast number Of impor-
tant why's" and 'hows" and whats. "
All that is necessary for man TO know
he can learn from these sources, and
education in its best sense in the
broadcast diffusion OF the informa-
tion they afford, in its simplest, clear
est form.
Europeans say that we are an over
curious people-Jhat we examine and
cross-eXamine strangers about mat
tiers W tn which we have no concern.
That's mistake. Everything in the
way of information that any human
being is willing to impart, concerns
us. We want to know. If those we
question do not choose to answer, or
cannot answer, our why's" and
'how5" and ''whats," they can say
So We shall not be offended by the
rebuff; but ask, we will.

Frank Ellison must have thought yesterday.
during the theatrical appearance Of Mrs.
Neamo on the witness stand in Recorder
Smyth's court that when tho Prince Of Wales
"perjured himself like q gentleman" possibly
the worldly wise Prince had other reasons for
his conduct than wish to govern himself BY
the code which regulates tho conduct Of gem
tlemen in such cases. Mr.. Ellison would have
been justified in thinking that possibly the
Prince had the discretion OF prudence: that he
desired to escape the wrath OF tho woman CON-
cerned as we'll as the loathinE Of all men. By
"perjurng himself like q gentleman" Ellison
yesterday put in evidence some letters he re-
ceived from Mrs Neame and thereby brought
down upon his unhappy head the full surginR
torrent Of her wrath.
Mrs. Neame Is n slender. delicate-looking
woman. stylishly dressed. with softly modu-
lated voice; yet within a few minutes after she
was compelled to admit the authorship OF
some letters to Ellison. she had. characterized
him as a liar. a coward. a perjurer. q swindler.
q ruffian. a threatener OF women. and man
who displayed a woman's letters In his club
for tho avowed purpose Of destroying her
character.
Mr.. Brooke. the veteran and experienced
counsel for the defendant. tried with all his
skill to check or turn aside this torrent OF
wrath-souRht by every artful manouvre In
his power to Offset or minimize tho effect Of
