at 20 she became the wife of Rev. Frank

Besant. She sooE discovered that her

she had formed, and resented the disap-

promulgating the doctrines of infidelity.
and subsequently the disciple of and
then the successor of Nine. Blavatsky
as the leader and teacher of theosophy.
Mrs. Besant has had a trouble life,
and it must be said that she has borne
her trials with much fortitude. Her
association with Bradlaugh, which was
maintained without interruption until
Sis death, resulted in ostracism from
society and all sorts of condemnation
from conventional people. But she pur-
sued her course unmindful of all this,
and even in the face of the fearful pro-
testations of her mother, whom she
dearly loved, and who is said to have
died of a broken heart because of the
actions of her daughter. It is through
Mrs. Moncure D. Conway that she be-
came acquainted with Bradlaugh. and
through William T. Stead that she SUBJ
seQuently met Nine. Blavatsky.
But Mrs. Besaht's life has not been
barren Of good results. She became the
champion of the poor in London, and
by her tongue and pen did much toward
ameliorating their condition in life.
She procured for the overworked and
underpaid match girls such reforms in
their work and wages as materially i'm
proved their condition. It was due
mainly to her agitation that John Burns
was given a seat in parliament, and
under her guidance the working people
Of London were organized, with the re-
suit that many Improvements in their
social condition followed. During this
period of her labor she stood one night
at the head of an army of workingmen
in Trafalgar square and when a regi-
ment of soldiers charged upon her force
with fixed bayonets, she stood her
ground. remarking they had right to
be there. Her bravery won for her the
admiration of all England.
After this Mrs. Besant became the pu-
pill of Huxley. and under his tutorship
studied science and philosophy. She
first visited this country in March, 1891.
and delivered several lectures. In 1893
she made her second visit as q delegate

HanSel and Gretel.

The German composer, Humperdinck
who is introduced to American audi
ences this season by the presentation OF
his famous fairy opera, "Hansel and
Gretel," is forty-one years old, and a
man of pleasing personality. He is re-
garded as Wagner's heir, and his opera
has enjoyed extraordinary vogue on the
continent. The ibretto is based on the
nursery tale of the Babes IN the
Wood" AS a student in the conserva-
tories of Cologne and Munich, Humper-
dinck bore of all the prizes. and after
teaching in the Barcelona Conservatory
he settled, in 1890, in Frankfurt.

those feline arts that enable them to
capture their prey and to avoid their
enemies. The wild nature of house
cat is only dormant, ready at any mo-
ment to transform it into beast of
prey. No animal more quickly reverts
to the type of it's remote ancestry.
A few years ago, on that slender strip
of outer coast known as Padre island,
which skirts the mainland of southern
most Texas, from Corpus Christi bay to
the mouth of the Rio Grande, I saw a
wildcat of peculiar appearance, and
near by the tracks of many of its fell
lows among the dwarf live-oaks, which
in miniature forests spring from the
sandy soil.
These animals were Enthusiastically
the progeny of domestic cats. Among
them were visible the tracks OF larger
cats-the ocelot, and the true wildcat
whose tufted ears and short tail dis
tinguished him so clearly from our do
nestle puss as well as from the
European wildcat. The descendant OF
the house cat was just as wild as its
larger cousins, but as he trotted away
from me he turned for moment his
pretty rounded face towards mine, for
all the world like cat running up a
city alley, and then vanished with a
bound.
His colors, russell gray marked with q
little black in stripes, harmonized well
with his surroundings, and doubtless
aided him to surprise his prey. We may
readily believe that these wild de-
scendants Of domestic cats are not q
whit behind their savage cousins in
ability to earn a comfortable living.
It is a disputed question among
naturalists whether our domestic cat
originated from q species no longer
found in the wild state, or was de-
veloped to its present characteristic
from the wildcat of Europe. This Ques-
ton may find satisfactory solution
after such descendants of the house cat
as we have described shall have run
wild for many generations. We may
then be enabled to compare the result
ing product of evolution with the
European wildcat, and with certain
other species of Old World felidae.7S

point, and that is that the great relig-
ious teachers were men who had
reached perfection through having lived
many lives on earth, and that they con-
stitute a secret brotherhood, from
which members are sent at intervals to
teach humanity. AS Mrs. Besant is said
to contemplate a third visit to the
United States in the near future, it may
be expected that the agitation of this
peculiar religious theory will soon take
on new life.
Viewed from any aspect Mrs. Annie
Besant is a strangely strong woman.
Born in England, of Irish parents, her
childhood was spent in an atmosphere
Of pure religion, and, upon attaining the
age of young womanhood, she was of an
exceedingly devotional nature. With a

friend of mine, who recently re-
turned from a visit to the mining
camps on the Island of Cerros, which
lies in the Pacific ocean, off the coast
of Lower California, in speaking of the
fauna and fora of that interesting
volcanic upheaval, told me that he saw
a number of small cats running wild on
the island. They were prowling about
the rocks, and among the many cacti
and giant century plants that form the
only vegetation of that arid soil, and af-
ford these cats their only shelter. He
describes the color of these animals as
varied. many being gray, some entirely
black, and few spotted with black and
white.
Ny friend is undoubtedly correct in
the belief that these small cats have
descended from domestic animals that
had been left on the island, or had
escaped from wrecks on the coast, and
since that time have multiplied under
favorable conditions of food and eli
mate. They prey chiefly upon the rats
that are found there of the trading
and the kangaroo" species.
These kangaroo rats are peculiar 20
Australia, and must therefore have
gained a home on the Island of Cerros
in some such way as the cats have done.
The cats may occasionally vary their
bill-of-fare by catching the mice that
infest the huts of the miners, and the
Mexican finches that fly over from the
mainland in large flOcks.
My informant heard occasional
me-ows and distant caterwaulings at
night-sounds that reminded him more
of home and civilization than any oths
that met his ear during his trip. Once
or twice by the mere force of habit, he
found himself on the very point of
hurting boot-jacks and soap cups at the
feline serenaders.
In their habits these Cerros cats are
exceedingly wild, as We nigh. naturally

Give God Your Best Thought.

With all thy mind. luke 1920
Whoever loves God with his whole
mind will worship him in all his
thoughts. God will be first with him
in everything, and he will be constant
ly planning for the spread of the Re-
deemer's kingdom. No matter what
his sphere or work may be, he will be q
true missionary in heart and spirit. God
needs the best thought of every man,
and will pay good interest for the use
of it. There is no kind of Christian
work that does not require method,
plan, decision and intelligent care in
it's execution, and there is no work that
needs to be done for the good of man,
that is not Christian work, if the man
who does it loves God. A bricklayer
can worship God every time he lifts
his trowel, and a carpenter can lift I'D
holy hands every time he saws board
or drives nail. An architect can be
saying something to his Master every
time he puts plan on paper, and the
man who constructs steamer, or
builds an engine, can do 1t with the
prayer. Thy kingdom come" To love
God with all the mind, means that we
are not only reaching out to him with
our highest thought. trying to fathom
his truth and learn his will, but that
We will also use all our powers of brain
to help carry to those that sit in dark
ness the glad tidings that will give
them light and life. But God cannot be
loved with all the mind, unless he is
first loved with all the heart.

VIEWS OF MARRIAGE.
1t Consummates Life-No Single Life Is
the Perfect One.
r.. l.. Stevenson

1t Consummates Life-NO Single Life Is
the Perfect One.
We hear young men say, Il am too
poor to get married, and girls, The
man marry must be rich. These re-
marks appear harmless, and they may
have certain business shrewdnesS be-
hind them. Still the larger truth is that
the speakers most often do not take an
honest view of marriage, no matter how
honorable may be their purposes. Money
cannot insure happiness, and long ex-
perimenting in the countries of Europe
has shown that mating for wealth is the
sure road to q lax and immoral domes-
tic economy. 1t would seem that the
sensible view to take of marriage is
that it consummates life for the poor
and the rich, the vulgar and the refined;
that no single life is the perfect life.
The future of mankind depends almost
wholly upon happy marriages and
healthy offspring And this suggests
that there should be no marrying of I'M
sound people. Greater seltishness cannot
be imagined than that which brings
children into the world doomed to life
of immitigable misery, the hereditament
of those who bear their parents burden
of disease. Shall we say that questions
arise in this connection too delicate for
discussion with young persons? Is it
better to leave the discussion to be
raised after it is too late?
The sensible view of marriage is the
view that comprehends every conse-
quence. To the young people looking
forward to long and happy welded
life it is of vital Importance that no ele
ment of the subject shall be mystery;
that nothing connected with the matri
monial venture shall be left to the haz-
ard of chance Parents must understand
that their children are to be parents;
that there is no escape from the RESPONSE
bility and that education is incomplete
and training inadequate which does not
qualify for paternity and maternity.
The young man and the young woman
who are fitted for marriage are fitted
for all that healthy, courageous and
happy life demands or imposes. -Chau-

In the highlands, in the country places,
Where tho old. plain men have rosy faces
And the young fair maidens
Quiet eyes;
Where essential silence cheers and blesses,
And forever in the hill rccesscs
Her more lovely music
Broods and dies
Oh, Ia mount again where erst haunted,
Where the old red hills are bird enchanted,
And the low green meadows
Bright with sward;
And when evening dies, the million tinted,
And the night has come, and planets glinted

Oh. 10 dream, oh, to awake and wander
There, and with delight to take and render
Through the trance of silence
Quiet breath;

passes,
only winds and rivers,
Life and death.

The Millionaire's Eagle Eye.

Another story illustrative of the daily
life of Chicago millionaire may help
to explain why some people have more
money than others
This millionaire invited a visitor
from another city to meet him at GER
tain hour and accompany him to the
stockyards, where he has large interests.
The millionaire rode up in a sidebar
buggy somewhat the worse for mud and
wear. drawn by a shaggy but active
horse He explained that before starting
for the yards he would have TO go TO one
of the large banks down town, as he
was on the board which regulated loans,
and he had to pass on an application
for a loan of $500, 900.
They stopped in front of the bank,
and the rich man hurried in and re-
manned several minutes He came out
on run, and they started rattledy bang
for the stockyards and Packingtown.
When they arrived and We're entering
the packing house, they saw an old man
sorting out into barrels a heap of bones
and fatty remnants. The bones were
trimmed and put into one barrel and
the flesh and fat into another barrel.
The millionaire owner of the place
walked over to the workman and began
asking questions. Then he drew off his
coat, rolled back his shirt sleeves to the
! shoulder and began rummaging among
the bones. He found several which had
not been properly stripped, and the
workman received scolding which he
will remember all his life.
The stripping of those bones was just
as important as the loaning of $500, 600,
