Survival. of the Socially Fittest.

The benefits Incorporation in the de-
yelopment of pxn 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 a 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
yiyal 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-
.;on Of man as self assertion. Indeed. it
maybe claimed that under the condi-
tions Of social life it is necessary con-
sequence Of self assertion. Men could
not live long together unless they recog-
nized the right of each to his own and
reenected 1t. The survival of society,
lie the survival of the individuals COM
nosine it, becomes possible only throurh
edaptation to the necessary conditions
of lie. and 1t will not be. denied by Fro
fessor Huxley that morality is essential
to social we'll being.-Popular Science

aul1s 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 wears of its existence. We read that
in 1895, in the course of a debate on the
leather tax, the chancellor of~the ex-
cheouer, Sir John Parnell, observed that
sin the prosecution Of the present war
every man ought to De 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, II boldly answer in the affirmative
no" In mentioning the Cape he de-
clared that "myrtles 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 foodgates of
democracy lest you should pave the way
for a general conAagration. Seventy

The n1ur<lerer,s Hand.

A recent conference of French chiro-

buried in the flesh, which rises on either
side and extends much above the surface.

Fanny Kemble,s Feat.

Fanny Kemble once stopped at the Re
80 .aeSS.se, Boston, and being a splendid
horsewoman took daily rides, accompa-
MED only by an English groom. The
horse on this occasion was thorough
bred, a 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
s.o7e, except by fits and starts, varied
oHca-Nlag and plunging in arather dan
Oino way. The rider, after trying in
n to subdue the obstinate steed, final
dismounted and told the groom to
7iange the saddle while she retired to
mango 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 a 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
ably plucky woman.-Stageland.

A Crock Princess Who Rapidly Eaa
Through Fortune of S25. 100000.
The Princess Ypsilanti, who died in
Vienna few days ago, belonged to one,
of the Oldest families in Austria and
was born in Vienna, March IL, 1915. Her
father was the late Baron Sina Won Ho-
dos and Kizdia, and her mother MEM
Der of the famous Roumanian family of
Ghika. Baron Sina was the son of
George Sina, the wealthiest banker in
Vienna. Baron Sina received on his
fathers death 100000 forms, or S45,-
100000. This immense sum was divided
on the death of Baron Sina between his
three daughters, each receiving nearly
S15,OOO,000. One of the daughters mar
ried George Mavrocordato, member of
one of the noblest families of Greece.
The second married the spendthrift Due
de Castries, relative of the late Mar
shall MacMahon of France.
The third, daughter, Helene, Nov. %,
1852, when she was about II years old,
married Prince Gregory Ypsilanti, s. ma
tive Of Espirus and son of Demetrius
Ypsilanti, whose valorous deeds during
the Greek revolution made the name Of
Ypsilanti famous throughout the world.
During the siege Of the city of Nauplia,
Delnetrius, with a small body of Greeks,
one night sailed forth and attacked the
enemy, creating such terror among the
Turks that they raised the siege the next
day.
Prince Gregory Ypsilanti was the
Greek envoy in Vienna for many years.
He.was man of independent means aside
from the great fortune brought to him
by his wife, and served his country for
honor alone, refusing all compensation
for his duties as its diplomatic represent
alive in Austria.
Prince Gregory Ypsilanti died in Paris
Feb. 20, 1886, and was succeeded as head
OF his family by his eldest son, Prince
Emmanuel, who is now lad of Is.
Three weeks after his death the bank
ruptcy of the princess was announced, to
the amazement of the aristocratic cir
cles of Vienna and Athens. Prince
Gregory had been man OF apparently
quiet and retiring disposition, but he

The yaluo of Drawing.

Mr.. Thomas Woolner; R. A., tells how
Mr.. Nasmyth of steam hammer fame
once gave him an illustration from per-
sonal experience of the value of drawing.
Mr.. Nasmyth was travelling in Norway,
and one day in wild, out of the way
place reached an inn, very hungry, but
unable to make the hostess understand
his wants by anything he could say. He
was considerably perplexed till he hap
PLY thought of his pencil. He then care
fully drew a dish in perspective, with
steam rising from it. Beside this he
drew plate, with knife and fork, and
on the other side of the dish bottle and
a wineglass.
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
ture complete. There was the bottle,
with wineglass beside it; the plate, knife
and fork, and the dish covered. So as
soon as he sat down mine hostess lifted
the cover, displaying a fine hot fowl that
sent forth a cloud of steam.-London
