All experience, I'believe. shows that

for good or evil during the first seven
years Of its life, and il is then that the

should, as far as possible, be uncon-
scious and, therefore, be carried on by
those methods and means which may

TIE GUILEFUL SMUGaLER.

1t was the lady of the house herself
who answered the bell at one OF the
palatial residences on Woodward ave-
nue., says the Detroit Free Press, the
! housemaid being engaged in peeling
1 pineapples for preserves.
"What do you want?" she asked OF
the person on the doorstep, an impul-
sive-looking man with a roll of rugs
under one arm.
''Sh," said the impulsive one 'Not
so loud I've got some rugs here that
will sell you for song-only you
mustn't let anybody know"
"Why-are they stolen?"
The person made speaking trumpet
with one hand and whispered in a
sepulchral tone: ''No-smuggled."
Come right in" said the lady, and
she ushered him into the hall Care
fully closing the door, she invited him
to display his wares.
He did SO, and as the rugs were
spread out on the hall floor their dain-
ty richness filed her with longing.
"YOu are sure they were smuggled?'
she asked, in an anxious tone of voice.
Certain sure, ma'am," he answered.
'T struggled them myself and you can
have them for five dollars apiece,
would cost you at any store in the
city"
Then that is all you need, Robert"
she said, turning to gentleman who
stood in the shadow beneath the stairs;
1.-The man admits that he's smuggler,
and all you've got to do is to report hing
at the custom house"
The person with the rugs turned
pale. For Heavens sake don't do
that, ma'am," said the man. I've got
n sick wife and four small children at
home who are dependent on me for
bread Take the rugs for two dollars
and half apiece and let me 60"
But my husband is custom house
officer" she said, I'VE can't let you
60"
Have mercy he pleaded; luke
them for two dollars and half and say
no more about it."
Justice is infexible," said the hus
band; AZ must do my duty"
Call it two dollars" moaned the
self-confessed smuggler, ''and spare
me"
The husband and wife communed
apart, the latter evidently pleading for
the poor wretch At the end of their
conference the money was silently
counted out to the smuggler, the door
was opened and he was permitted to
60. And the next day when madame
priced the same kind Of rug at the
stores on Woodward avenue she fount
that they would have been dear at
dollar apiece.

came into apparent contact with the
limb OF the moon. This would be OBJ
seryable not only at the time OF con-
tact, but also for some time prior to
such contact But in all the observa-
ton not a trace. not the minutest indi-
cation OF this has ever been noticed.
Neither has there been any change at

If there were any extension Of the sid

There are lunar mountain ranges
that correspond to those of the earth,
and interpreted with peaks from ten
to twenty thousand feet high Single
cones rise from a level plain to a height
of from five to eight thousand feet.
Deep ravines, broad valleys and mar
row passes are also features Of this
strange surface. Pages might be de-
voted to descriptions of the weird
lunar scenes as they appear to the va
rying angles of reflected sunlight, but
what was it. and why was it that this
celestial desolation was wrought? Let
Us endeayor TO conceive of our earth
with her oceans all dry, no atmosphere
and no clouds, the imprisoned forces
Of the interior all departed, but the
escape represented in a rent and shat
tered qualification; layers represent
ing score of miles in thickness turned
up on their edges, and the entire sphere
but a mass Of confused, broken and
tilted fields of rock. the water all solid
in the monster crevices, and the air all
similarly swallowed up, and chaos
again in her reign Of many millions Of
years
We may conceive of the fierce heat
ing of the sun on this dead mass, IN
tempered by any atmospheric en-
velope and the frigid nights that would
come when the sun sank below the
horizon. Has the earth stored forces
sufficient to do this? From our best
information she has pent-up energies
If there were a way for their liberia
ton
Such an exigency may be exceeding
y remote, but such catastrophy has
undoubtedly befallen the moon. Just
what peculiar conjunction of condi.
tons did it is as yet to us a mystery.
But the idea of having this immense
lunar mausoleum held ever like q
mirror before our eyes is one of those
things to remind us OF the inevitable
transformations that must attend all
life as well as its environment

IL may be a mere coincidence, but
thUse not in the councils of the Pop
party will think it strange that Mrs.
] Lease is to be absent from the state dur

! been ailing for some time, but it /, fair
TO assume that the climate of Kansas
had nothing to do with it. On the con-
! trary, she has always been normally
| healthy here. and it was not till she
made the tour of several eastern states
| that her pure Celtic blood became con-
! terminated by malarial poison. The
| facts are that since her return to Kan
sas she has been on the mend, and is
now able to talk to a Kansas audience
with her old time vigor. 1t cannot be
| that she is wavering in the fundamental
doctrines of her party, for her address
at Kansas City, Kan, the other evening
reaffirms her fidelity to lis precepts, as
well as her belief in its final triumph
That she should just now in the midst
of her useful ness with all the
prestige which comes with being a
favorite N the party, and a drawing
card wherever she goes, and at the
time when her services are most needed,
lake her departure for California or
anywhere else under the shining sun,
is mystery. There must he a reason
as little Dot would say, ''for really
reason-something far more tangible
than that it is a health recruiting expe-
dition.
In the absence of something better,
the curious public will connect The affair

Der her late experience with that indi-
vidual. 1t was only a family row, the
details of which may never be known
10 the remainder of the human race,
but it is known that the execu-
tive lost his temper and she lost

sessing the common attributes of

Lease is a Populist for policy and rev.
