THE late Dr. G. j. Romanes is an ex-
ample of the perils of dogmatism. In
1876, in the first flush of his fame as a
biologist, he published anonymously a
"Candid Examination OF Theism." In
that work, which is marked by crudity
of thinking unrelieved by intellectual
modesty, DIR. Romanes asserted that
"the hypothesis of a mind in nature is
now logically proved to be as certainly
superfuous as the very basis of all
science is certainly true" He left the
reader in no doubt Of his meaning by ad-
ding, that "the existence of a God is
wholly unnecessary to explain the phen-
omena Of the Universe" Since his death
the manuscript of work which DR..
Romanes was evidently preparing for
the press has been edited and published
by Canon Charles Gore, under the title.
Thoughts on Religion" Canon Gore
states in the introduction that DIR. Ro-
names had undergone complete change
of views on the subject of theism. and
had returned to ''full deliberate COM
munion with the church of Jesus
Christ"
The work published by Canon Gore
is, apparently. first draft, and lacks
TIE continuity and completeness which
a revision from the hand Of DIR. Romanes
himself would undoubtedly have given.
But his conclusions and the reasons for
thsm are stated with precision and full
ness. He replies to his own previous
arguments. recasts Darwinism in con-
sistency with theology. advances to a
defense of the general position of Chris
tianity and even offers himself as the
champion of some Of the harder religious
dogmas. The trained apologize detects
in DIR. Romanes notes evidences OF in
complete information and of mental
processes not yet brought TO maturity.
But the fact that man whose whole
life was comparatively short should have
accomplished such circuit of opinion.
intimates the danger of early dogmatism.
Had DIR. Romanes waited a few years.
his confident and superserviceable ad-
vocacy of atheism would not have re-
mained to plague the unhappy inventor.
The experience OF DIR. Romanes
should not be lost on that large class of
young men engaged in the study of phys

Hnd out what there is IN us, or what
we can or will do; it is not to educate
us to some definite end. But we know
that we are being educated in life.
therefore life cannot be a probation.
In every way, therefore, it must be
seen that probation is not the word
for life. The doctrine, as usually
taught, is unreasonable and unjust,
and the word is too little and mar
row.
We must seek, therefore, for lar
ger word for life, and that word is
school. Very likely we have no word
sufficiently large to cover all there is
of life, but the word school comes
nearer doing this than any other. As
we have seen, there is an element of
probation or trial in life. There is
this element in school. The pupils
are tried, tested, not that they may
be kept in, or turned out, but that
their defects may be ascertained and
their faults corrected. In the same
way we are tried and tested in life,
that our improvement may be Sc
secured.
There is in life also the element of
retribution. There is punishment
and discipline in life. The same is in
school, The pupils are punished
for their wrong doing and disciplined
for their shortcomings. This, not as
and end, but as means to an end. 1t is
1t is that they may remove whatso-
ever is wrong in their conduct and i'm
prove whatsoever is right. So in life.
We are punished and disciplined for
our own good, that we may forsake
the bad and develop the good.
In fine, the word school interprets
life better than any other. As we
study life we see that it's great aim
and object is human development,
the growth of human character.
Whether we will or not we find that
we are constantly at school. If we
will not learn in one way we are set
the same task in another. If we do
not take our lesson cheerfully and
willingly we are put under discipline
until we do take it, though it be with
sadness and pain The great teacher
is never at loss or ways and means
to induce us to learn the lessons he
sets us. Life then is school. We
are learning how to live. Only the
A. B. C.'sa may be learned here, but
the education will go on in the great
hereafter. Sooner or later we must
and will know Gods ways and walk
in those ways. Let us learn and
walk in those ways now.-Parish

WRECKED IN THE sUEz CANAL.
BY JUSTIN Mccarthy. .

THINK man who has been wrecked
in the Suez Canal is entitled to boast
of an adventure on land and sea.
There is so little of the sea and 80
much of the land that one is safe to
come to the land the moment he tries
to get out of the sea. Sea and land
are pretty we'll mixed up there. But
what place to be shipwrecked in!
1t almost seems as if one might jump
across the canal from sand heap to
nd-heap. There, however, is where
the peculiarity and the beauty of the
adventure come in. Anybody might
be in a wreck on the Atlantic. A
wreck on the Atlantic was a very
common event of the past winter. l
was once in steamer that was very
near being wrecked in bad white
squall off Cape Matapan, in the Le-
want. But that is just the sort of
place where wreck might naturally
be expected, and there would be no
credit in the adventure. 1t is quite a
different thing to have ones ship
driven ashore in the Suez Canal, and
to have to be rescued in boats while
the water was coming in, half gal
Ion or so at time.
We were a pleasant company on
board that steamer. | say 1--WE" We're
pleasant company, meaning our
own little group of fellow travellers,
for we concerned ourselves little about
the rest of the passengers. Indeed,
the great majority of these passen-
gers cared little about US, and few of
them could speak or understand any
more of our language than we could
speak or understand of theirs. We
sat on the deck and rejoiced in the
beauty of the night. The moon was
sailing through cloudless sky. The
air was chill-it was dead winter
time, and midnight skies are chill in
dead winter even in Egypt. Sud-
denly the steamer came to a stop.
Now, l know of few sensations more
alarming than the sudden stopping
of the action of steamer when the
steamer has no apparent reason for
stopping. Everybody who has often
crossed the Atlantic may have expe-
rienced the sensation caused by this
sudden stopping of what l call a
steamers heart action. 1t is of course
especially impressive and ominous if
it happens about the dead waste and
middle of the night. In this in

Mr.. Russell Sage can he said to be one Of
the youngest old men in New York city.
With scarcely wrinkle in his face, with a
step ms brisk as youths, he has also
many Of the almost blithesome personal

most marked peculiar les is n merry twin
kle in his blue eyes that lights up his face

the lid of Mr.. Sage's right eye winks like
that Of the heavy villain in comedy. Oc-

ject is Of more than usual interest, the lids
Of both blink alternately and very rapidly.
Then ms If he regretted his manifestation
of interest in the conversation, the blink
ing suddenly ceases, and the face lights up
again like Y summer afternoon after n
shower.

ludicrously known in Wall street as slop-

Some of the facts recently brought to
light on the philosophy of bathing are as in
teresting as they are important, and special
mention may be made of the Investigations
in this line by NJ. Wertheimer of Paris and
now communicated by him to the public.
He shows that a sensation of cold on the
skin acts on the circulation Of the lower
part of the tTunk-that is to say, on the
veins, and also ON the brain-in the same
way rs Il mechanical or electrical stimulus
of the sensitive nerves Of the skin. This
observation, it is declared affords an eX-
PLANTATION of the fact that IA sudden INNER
sion of the body in cold water after a meal,
and while the process of digestion is going
on, may be attended with danger. At such
n time the abdominal system is the seat of
intense physiological congestion, and the
accumulation of blood in it is suddenly
thrown back toward the nervous centers,
and the consequence may be a disorder re-
sulting in death. New York Tribune.

IN a city paper a few days ago
was a reprint OF a charge that
Chinese are thievish and dis
honest" 1t is past understanding
that such libel should be present
ed in a community so familiar with
the Chinese character, This race
is honest, if nothing else They
are schooled from earliest hours
that the decalogue has no more
serious crime than larceny or
cheating. For the purposes of
sending money from these Islands
to China the Chinese rarely use
drafts. Great sums are entrusted
to travellers and never yet has
defalcation been recorded.

EXCEPTION NOTED.

There is question only on one of

President has sent to the upper
branch of the Legislature. His
cabinet selections are entirely salts.
factory. No objection is made to
any Of the gentlemen selected for
the bench. All through the long
list the supporters of the govern
ment, the men who have stood
with Mr.. Dole and his coadiutors
from the very first, say, AYE" un-
I'll one name is reached. AcQuies-
canoe is impelled because generally
the choices of the Executive are
excellent. Besides this there is
desire, all intent to accord to Mr..
Dole the fullest exercise of the pre-
negatives attaching to his high
Office. Moreover, there exists the
purpose to act in the interest Of
harmony, to avoid friction.
Now if the senate and the
rank and file of the domi-
nant party concede to the leader
ership every single point but one,
is not the exception worthy of in
dulgence' Is the support asking
for too much, is it unreasonable,
when ii disagrees as to one PROPOSE
ton ont of such a multitude
Would the leadership suffer in any
degree animpairment of dignity or a
fracture of Judgment by conceding
one name of the long list to the
people who do the voting? THE
STAR does not think so. We be-
lieve a strong case is presented.
This is a matter which without
improperly or risk may be debated
with candor and frankness. On a
Sunday afternoon, without the
slightest advance warning, without
the shadow of a hint that such ac-
ton was in contemplation, VIM r.
Castle was commissioned as envoy
TO Washington. 1t is not neces-
sary to further discuss the method
OF the appointment. Suffice it to
say that at no time before had this
gentleman been mentioned in con-
nection with the suCcessorship to
to Mr.. Thurston. Now, as to the
merit of the choice. Since 1t was
published the gentlemen of the
Sunday afternoon meeting have
been kept busy explaining it. They
did something that placed them on
the defensive as to their own con-
stituency Does not an error OF
that sort require correction without
delay? Will there not be gain
rather than loss by retirement from
the position in which the cabinet
finds itself? For Mr.. Castle as a
citizen here, THE STAR has only
commentator, but accepting him
as the cabinet presents him, either
with or without explanations, we
maintain that he is found wanting
in the balance. We submit that the
cabinet can afford to change its
mind and that unless it does so the
senators, as the elected representa-
tives of the people for whom Mr..
Castle is named as the agent at
Washington, should write reject
ed" across the nomination. There
will be no serious result here and
future embarrassment and regret
will be happily avoided.
