confess cannot understand the
mental operat ons Of good men or
women who from the moment they
are parents do not become intensely
interested in the social question,
writes Edward Bellamy in the Ladies'
Home Journal. That an unmarried
man or even man childless though
married should concern himself little
about the future OF a race in which
he may argue that he will have no
personal stake, is conceivable. though
such inditle. ence is not morally ediiy-
ing.
From the time their children are
born IL becomes the great problem
with parents how to provide for aud
safeguard. their future when they
themselves shall no longer be on
earth. To this end they painfully
spare and save and plot and plan TO
secure from the offspring all the ad-
vantages that may give them a bet
ter chan than other mans children
in the struggle for existence.
They do this, knowing sadly well
the while, for observation and ex.
perience, how vain all such safeguards
may prove, how impossible IL Is for
even the wisest land wealthies OF
fathers 10 make sure that the
cherished child he leaves behind may
not be glad 10 earn his bread as a
servant TO the children OF his fathers
servants Still the parent tolls aud
saves, feeling that this Is the best
and all he can do for his offspring,
little though IL De. Put is itY
Surely moments throught will show
that this is a wholly uns ientitic way
OF going about the work OF providing
for the future OF ones children.
This Is the problem OF all problems
TO which the individualistic method
Is most inapplicable, the problem be-
fore all Others OF which the only ad-
equate solution must necessarily be y
social solution.

There is a sudden and unpre-
cedented increase in the demand for
wild animals at present, not only for
the Continent but for the (aited
States. The stocks in most Il the
European Geological gardens have de-
creased OF late, shrinkage partly
caused by the closure OF the Soudan
by the dervishes
In America the popularity OF the
great menagerie at the Worlds Fair
has created sudden demand for
wild animals OF all kinds. Circuses
and private meageries are competing
With the geological gardens and
scientific societies for rare and inter-
esting animals, and the demand for
America Is far greater than for the
Continent OF Europe.
After five or six years OF neglect
there is such boom in the Wild
beast trade as Is hardly remembered.
Until the expeditions which Hagen
beck and others have dispatched into
Central Afr.ca via Fer Oera, and into
Borneo and the West Coast OF Africa,

some 20 per cent Ul fibre, one kllo OF

65s inches for men, 6lt inches for

INCIDENTS OF A WINDY DAY.
Two Runaway Hats. an Omcsous Citizen

Two Runaway Hats. an Omcaous Citizen
and Perhaps q Spree.
A ind-propelled brown Derby hat
rolled rapidly from Park low toward
Nassau street Yesterday afternoon.
says the New York Sun, pursued by a
young man, whose lack OF headgear
and eagerness in the chase gave in
dication that he was the owner. At
the corner OF Ma sau and Spruce
streets he collided with an older man
and knocked of the latter's silk hat,
which also became the prey OF the
wind, The two hats rolled merrily
down the Spruce street incline, the
Derby well in the lead, and the two
owners followed them, while a crowd
gathered TO watch the fun. Up the
hill there came puffing portly and
comfortable looking party, whose al
tention was called to the hats by
sundrv howls of;"Hiw "Hom "Hey"
and other equally ineligible inter-
jections from the owners. The portly
party essayed TO stop the first hat
with his hands, In the manner OF one
who grabs for chicken, gingerly,
and with an evident fear that IL
might b te. The Derby lodged
nimbly by and the portly one then
took chance at the tall hat He
stuck out his foot The silk hat
lightly trippcd over IT, So did the
owner OF the Derby, who was close
behind and didn't have time To stop
He plunged forward on the back OF
his neck Topped over once and
landed squarely upon the silk hat
with force highly detrimental TO its
appearance.
Up he rose with howl OF rage and
welted the surprised portly party In
the diaphragm. Before the other
could retaliate the owner OF the silk
hat arrived and poked his fist into the
the collar OF the proprietor OF the
brown derby, which was meantime
making good time toward William
street. Then there was a real trian-
gular mix up and the crowd OF
spectators howled with glee. Pres
emily the man without the brown
Derby bethought himself OF his hat,
having satisfied his rage by kicking
the shins OF the other two men. He
saw IL In the act OF rolling beneath

After they had passed over micro
scopical examination would have been

The owner left them lying In the
road, went back TO the other two,

OF each others features TO mutuaS
objurgation, and suggested that they
all have IA drink and talk the matter
over. They disappeared into

melted away. Two minutes there

And herds Of strange deer, silver white.
Came cleaning thro gh the forest gray.
And fed like ghosts before the day.
