A Criticism in Scientific Light.

The giants IN our gigantomachia, whose
thighs change at half their length into
serpents, and which, instead of two legs,
stand on two vertebral columns running
out into heads, with separate brains spinal
marrows, hearts, intestinal canals, lungs,
kidneys and sense organs, are and remain
an intolerable sight to the morphologically
cultivated eye, and prove that, although
the sculptors of Pergamon were superior
in technical ability to their predecessors of
the age of Pericles, they were inferior to
them in refinement of artistic feeling. They
were perhaps pardonable so far us tradition
bound them. for making giants with
snakes legs.
The hippocamps and the Tritons with
horses legs and double fishtails which
disfgure the ratings of our Schlossbrucke
come from another time, when the antique
still ruled unrestrained and morphological
standards were less common property than
they are now. But it is matter of deep
moment to us if a famous painter of the
present suffers such monstrosities, issuing
from the trunk, as sleek, sheeny salmon
hardly concealing the line between the
human skin and the scales, to dance real
istically on the cliffs or splash around in
the sea.

marvels as works of genius: what a genius,

Australian HOsDitality.

Australian station hospitality keeps the
latchstring always out and says, Come
when you wish, do what you like, and
stay as long rs you can" A writer says
that the Australian host places himself,
his family, and all that is his at the serv-
ice of the guest-ishing tackle. breech-
leaders, horses and servants. Such hospi-
tally is rarely abused, though the writer
mentions one exceptional case, where the
guest prolonged his visit until it wore out
his welcome. To one station came Wis
itor, whose original intention of staying q
month was reconsidered, and he remained
two.
Six months passed, and he was still there.
He enjoyed himself hugely with horses,
dogs and guns, developed an encouraging
appetite, and his host did not complain.
After about nine months the hosts man.
ner became less warm, and at the end of
the year he spoke no more to his guest.
The latter was not sensitive, but fingered
on for the space Of a second year, when he
departed and went to visit somebody else.
During these two years he was never told
that he had staid long enough and would
do we'll to 90 away.-Manchester Eng

Country People to the Front in Cities.
The conflict between city people and
those who live in the country is rs old MS
history. There always has been an influx
from without to within. So long as the
area of cities was limited, this was strong
ly and successfully resisted by the citizens.
They felt themselves a superior class to
the rustics. The very words ''urban" and
rustic" tell the story.
The Romans called the outside jewellers
''villani;" from which come two words,
one of honorable significance. villa" and
the other, perhaps Il little modified by
medieval use, william" Roman citizens
looked down upon the country folk as an
average New Yorker does upon stray
Jerseyman from the pines.
All literature has been tinged by this
feeling, and both writer's and statesmen
have continued to deplore the excessive
growth of cities as a national evil, and
have exhorted countrymen to stay ut home,
telling them how much better off they
were in the country.
Observation has now taught us that this
growth of cities is n necessary part of the
evolution of our social structure, and that
it is not a growth at the expense of the
country, but for the benefit of the country.

In addition to Eearing the consequences
of his error Adam has been denounced
through all succeeding centuries for his
cowardice and lack of gallantry in try
ing to throw the blame upon the woman

We are glad, therefore, thateven after
5000 years Of unmerited condemnation
which tho memory of our great pro-
genitOr has had to be:r there has arisen
one person who dares to speak for him.
And it is all the more fortunate that
that person is a woman-a member of
the sex whom Adams words, by
wrong Interpretation, were held to have
maligned. This person is Mrs. Caroline
F. Corbin, u distinguished authoress. In
her latest book she says of Adams plea:
"This is not the expression of cow
ardice, but of tho innocent and native
belief that anything which this lovely
being, fresh from Gods hand, proposed
must be right, and right or wrong
must be done. 1t is a trait which has
come down in unbroken continuity Of
inheritance to the latest born of Adams
sons"
The thought is q new one, but there is
not q man alive and capable Of appreci-
ating Mrs. Corbin's argument who will
not indorsc it. Where is there man to-
day, barring a few crusty old bachelors,
who would not have done tho same thing
under like circumstances? The woman
was beautiful, the apple was good, and
Adam was an unsophisticated, ingenious
young man unaccustomed to the little
social arts and receptions that the
daughters Of Mother Eve have learned
from her example.

What q Bad Digestion Does.

A doctor has been comparing the state of
mind of man before dinner and after who
suffers from indigestion. Before dinner
the patients thoughts are something Of
this kind: a
'What a jolly thing life is! How grand
it is to breathe the pure air, to revel in the
glorious sunshine, to laugh and he merry!
With friends all around, prosperous fu-
ture before one, all ones hopes and plans
turn out well. 1t may safely he said
that we live in good country, and that
life is the most enjoyable state magma
ble."
But after dinner, when the salmon and
the cucumber and the lobster salad have
begun to do their deadly work, the same
man thinks something like this:
life is fraud. Those who say life is
worth living are humbugs. We go about
the world with IA heavy load of care, and
from morning till night our time is spent
in battling with new annoyances. Bills
pour in on every side, failure stares us in
the face, every cherished hope is dashed to
the ground. Bah! The whole thing is

that was to 20 into Africa, buy two slaves

should be ended. n
They set forth. The doctor carried e.. or
in his inside pocket. and the chief pr0babi
lay awake four nights thinking about tb
matter. At any rate on the fifth night +
sneaked into the Doctors tent and deliver,
q little address over the muzzles of two pi,

passed over his ducats, and the chief passed
over the border along with his reneead'

by that party. President Grant, during his
first term, appointed him minister to Tur-
key, and he remained at COnstantinople for
two years. President Hayes selected him
as the chief member of the famous Louisi-
ana commission of 1877, which went to the
Pelican State in the endeavor to bring the
conflicting parties there to some sort of an
amicable understanding, and President
Garfield in 1881 appointed him attorney
general of the United States, which post he
resigned, with the other members of the
cabinet, after the accession of President
Arthur.
Mr.. MacVeagh has been conspicuous as a
civil service reformer for several years and
has been chairman of the Civil Service Re-
form association of Philadelphia. He left
the Republican party and supported the
candidacy of President Cleveland because
he did not approve of the course of Presi-
dent Harrison on civil service matters, and
the letter he wrote explaining his course
was one of the sensations of the campaign.
Born in Phpnixville, Chester county,
Pa, on April ~, 1888, Mr.. MacVeagh was
sent to Yale college ut an early age and was
graduated on attaining his twentieth year.
In April, 1856, he was admitted to the bar
ut West Chester, Pa, and was elected dis
trict attorney of Chester county within a
very few years. During the war he served
for short time in the home guard of Penn
sylvania, and in 1863 was made chairman
of the Republican state central committee.
in which capacity he conducted a guberna
torial and presidential campaign. Mr.. Mac
Veagh is brother. in-law of Senator Cam
erOn.
