FOX AND NAPOLEON.
The English Statesman Fascinated by til
First Consul

The English Statesman Fascinated by tins
First Consul
During the summer of 1902 FOX jour
neyed to Paris, where he was pre-
sented to Bonaparte early in Septem-
Der. The English Statesman war
fascinated, and although the first con-
sui said nothing definite or precise,
his visitor departed convinced that his
host desired nothing but peace with
liberal policy, both domestic and for
eign, as far as was consistent with
safety. But the attacks of the Eng
lish press became none the less viru-
lent in consequence of Fox's favorable
report, or of his brilliant defense of
France from his place in parliament.
Toward the close of January Talley-
rand demonstrated with Whitworth,
this time giving point to his remon-
STRANGE by plump demand as to what
England intended to do about Malta.
Whitworth replied that he was with
out instructions, and made an evasive
answer, limiting that the kings opin-
ion of the changes which had taken
place in Europe since the treaty might
be of Importance in determining him
as to the disposal of the island This
was the first intimation that England
did not Intend to keep her promise.
A few days later Sebastiani returned
from the east, and on January 30, 1903,
the Moniteur published his thorough
and careful report 1t was long doc
ument. fully explaining every source
of English weakness in the orient, and
setting forth the possibilities of re-
establishing French colonies in Egypt
and the Levant. There was only one
menacing phrase, but it expressed an
unpalatab BILE truth, that six thousand
French troops could now conquer
Egypt" The publication in England
OF this paper raised a tremendous pop
ular storm, and it has pleased many
historians toregard Bonaparte's course
as virtual declaration of war. In
reality it was merely French Roland
for an English Oliver. If England in
tended to keep Malta, let her beware
of her prestige in the east Had Bona
parte intended to act on Sebastianis
report, he certainly would not have
published it. OF course the English
populace utterly failed to grasp SO nice
point, and the incident so strained
the relations of France and England
that all Europe saw the impending
crisis-one or the other, or both, must
consent to modification of the treaty
in respect to Malta, or there would be
war.-Prof. William NJ Sloane, in Cen

The Armenian Outrages.

When the cable flashed the news Of
the horrible butchery Of Armenians by
the Kurds to this country, newspaper
readers stood aghast. The details were SO
revolving, the methods so appalling, that
comparatively little credence was given
the story, which was by almost common
consent attributed to some newspaper
correspondent with high pressure i'm
agination. One statement was that vic
Tins bodies were piled in pits, kero-
sene oil poured over them and the whole
set on fire. The flames failing to do their
work thoroughly river was turned
from it's course, and thus the evidence Of
the most horrible massacre in modern
history was in part obliterated.
Now, however, the committee APP
pointed by the European powers has
found that all this and much more real
~ occurred, and these bold aggressive
gentlemen have actually screwed their
courage up sufficiently to recommend to
the "sublime porte' that the Armenians
should have Christian rulers, but that
the sultan should have the right to put
the quietus on any movement lnaugu-
rated by these prospective dummies.
Isn't it about time for all this non
sense to be stopped? If war is ever
iustifable, it is so in the interest of hui
manity. The crime Of these Armenians
is that they are Christians and not Mo-
hammedans. The Bulgarian atrocities
pale into insignifcance beside the Ar
menian horrors, and yet for the former
Russia gave the "unspeakable Turk 9
lesson he is just beginning to forget
Before his memory entirely fails hin
he should be forcibly reminded Of his
little interview with the bear.
There is altogether too much hum
buggery about international courtesy
and the comfy Of nations. The Law
Of humanity should stand above tn
law of international courtesy. 1t i
even asserted that it does, but in tn
face Of the Armenian massacre and tn
events succeeding it it will be diff
cult to convince a fair minded persol
that the lives Of Christians will be an
more secure in Armenia than heretofore
The nations which are really civilize
; and not semibarbarians, like the Turks
should notify the sultan that anothe
massacre will mean the extinction c
Turkey as country and it's division in
to municipalities under an internations

Nature and Chance.

This is the best time Of the year to
go out of the highways to the byways
and study nature.
Take the flowers, for instance. Who
painted them? A good many of the
pseudo scientists will maintain that
their beauty can be explained on OAR
winian principles, as being of advan-
tage to them in the struggle for exist
ence by attracting the visits Of honey
seeking insects, which are necessary to
fertilization. But there are grave diff
culties to this evolutionary theory. There
are conspicuous and highly colored flow
ers which contain no honey and some Of
the least noticeable Of flowers are the
richest in honey and the greatest favor
ties of the bees.
Then take the matter Of instinct. Who
taught the birds, for instance, to build
their nests? They never saw one built.
They never took lesson in the build
ing. But they succeed admirably the
first time. Here again the evolutionist
comes in with his reply. This instinct,
he says, originated in chance acts which,
proving advantageous, have by natura!
selection been perpetuated as habits.
But, allowing this instinct to be inner
tied habit, it does not take away the
need Of first instinct that was not {
habit, but was capable of forming hab
it's. IF there were not such first habit
to build upon, habit there could not be-
These same wiseacre evolutionists at
tribute the song Of birds to the same
cause-chance acts. But if chance played
such a wonderful part, why by chance
did it not give song to the OK, or thu
lion, Or the rhinoceros, and thus turn tn
woods into pandemonium rather thai
fill it with music Of the right force t.
delight the ear Of man?
The theories Of the evolutionists ar
about as absurd as to claim that chanc
makes two and two four. It is absur,
to assume that we can find in natur
proofs Of order unless order has proceed
ed them.

The Pacing Horse.

The pacing horse-that is, the animal
that lifts and moves forward the legs Oh
the same side si1sultaneously-is COM
ing into style again. There is DO reason
why this form Of locomotion on the part
of the horse should ever have been un
popular The animal seems to take to it
naturally, perhaps rather moro so than
to trotting. It is likewise quite as
speedy gait and for the horseback rid
e. far easier than the trot.
A few years ago trotting horses out
numbered the PAGERS in training for the
track by more than Is to 1, but within
the past three years fast PAGERS have
sprung up everywhere. And the end has
probably not yet been reached, for the
present season sees a larger proportion
Of pacing racers than ever before. AS a
general rule, horse will learn to go fast
at pacing gait in much less time than
is required to develop the same degree
of trotting speed, and he does it without
any artificial rigging, such as boots and
toe weights.
It is said by those who know, like
wise, that the PAGER wears better than
the trotter, because he goes with greater
ease to himself and carries far less
weight in his shoes It may be ex-
planned that the words rack and pace
are not synonymous. The rack is gait
between trot and gallop, in which
the fore feet move as in a slow gallop,
while the hind feet move as in trot.
There is abundant evidence that the
pace of today is the same as the amble
of the European horses a century or two
ago. The motion Of the hind foot is the
same in the trot, the pace and the rack.
In the trot the diagonal hind and fore
feet move nearly simultaneously. By
all means let US cultivate the PAGER.

Hypnosism.

More and more generally, as evi- 4
dence in it's favor accumulates, are the
asserted facts Of hypnotism being ac-
cepted as true the world over. Indeed it
may almost be said that no scofers are
to be found among those who have
made careful investigation Of hypnotic
phenomena. -....
But, curiously enough, there are rad
ical differences Of opinion among these
investigators as to the value Of hypno-
tism to the human race. In America
most Of the eminent physicians who
have taken it up declare that it's use as
curative agent is very small, and that
the possible evil results are so grave as
to much more than counterbalance the
good that may be accomplished by it's
employment. There are so called hyp-
motto healers by the score, some of
whom exhibit evidences Of truly Won
derful performances which have never
been disproved, but the regular practi
TONERS have been and are very cautious
about it's use. One very prominent ply
stefan claims that, although many nerv-
GUS affections and the appetite for liquor,
tobacco and opium could undoubtedly
be favorably Influenced by hypnotic
suggestion, this influence is short lived
unless REINFORCED by repeatedly sub
jecting the patient to hypnotic treat
ment, and that such repetitions often
proved Of serious injury, the will power
almost invariably being seriously weak
ened and the general physical health
often ultimately suffering accordingly.
In France, however, some of the most
distinguished practitioners employ hyp.
notism constantly, and, they claim, with
results that are almost invariably bene
fetal Possibly the difference arises il
some measure from the fact that Ameri
cans do not SO readily yield to hypno
tism as do the French, or, in fact, the
inhabitants of any European country:
Professor Luys, a very prominen
French hypnotist, and many others O.
his nationality and calling, believe tina
hypnotism will go farther toward solv
ing the problem Of the soul than any
thing else, and they and their follower

Bad Railway Business.

The report Of the Interstate commerce
commission for the year ending June
80, 1894, the last report to date, is a
gloomy enough document in some re-
spects. So far as the railways of the
country are concerned it is little else
than a story of disaster. This is the
case, too, although the period covered
by the report includes the last four
months Of the Worlds fair.
In brief, June 80, 1894, one-fourth Of
all the railway capital in the United
States was invested in roads that were
in the hands Of receivers. The total
number Of railway employees at that
date was 779,608 falling off of near.
ly 1000 since June 1, 1898. Ten pei
cent fewer men were employed by the
roads than were working June 80, 1898
Of railroads built there were 2,24i
miles, less than half the number con
structed in 1898. Sixteen roads were
abandoned altogether, and of those no
considered to be abandoned " were no
in operation. There are 1924 railwa,
corporations in the country.
When it comes to examining the
earnings Of the roads, the depression i
seen in it's most vivid light. The ne
earnings Of the roads available for pay
ing dividends fell off nearly SO per cen
in 1894, and it is not likely the show
ing will be any better this year.
