does evolution offer? A waste of
sand. You cannot reconcile the teach
ings of Christ and Paul with evolution.
But look about; consider the massive
ness of the scale on which the universe
is created; view the beauty of nature
on earth; contemplate the sublimity of
the heavens; does it not dawn upon
the egotistical mind of man how in
significant we are amid this greatness :?
Therefore, who are we? But why the
question? For all ordinary purposes
all that is necessary for us to know is
in the nominative, Sam, es, est, etc.
We should know, or find out how to
obey all civil and moral laws as they
are conducive to good health, fellow
ship of man and long life. Doing this
we need not trouble ourselves about
the fall of man, the original sin, or
mans final destiny.

presented by ship when laid up at a
navy yard after returning from cruise
would be hard to find. The life and
hustle about ships decks peopled by
three or four hundred sailors are always
of interest to the visitor, while down
below, the sky-larking and games, as
we'll as the various occupations to which
the jackies devote their time, when off
duty, are found equally entertaining
With the crew removed to the receiving
ship, and with nothing at all on board
but the large cannon, stripped of every
accessory, even the ships cat ceases to
find comfortable place for her nap
and leaves the decks with downcast
tail for some more genial home. With
spars sent on shore, the white paint
marred here and there, the decks soiled,
the living spaces like so many barns
the fires in galley and freroom extin
guished, candles, or dim oil lamps, in
place of the brilliant electric lights,
there is a feeling of desolation from
taffrail to bowsprit end, and one not
accustomed to such things wonders
how in so short a time neglect can re-
place discipline and tidiness."

4 Newspaper Must BE For the
Stars and Stripes.

Now Mr.. Greeley is my great exem
plar in journalism. He thought a
newspaper man was of little use who
did not know just the number of votes
in every township in the State of New
York, and in every voting precinct,
and who could not tell whether the re-
turns from the second district of Pound
Ridge, in Westchester County, were
correctly reported or not, without send
ing to the place to find out how many
votes had really been cast That was
one of his great points of distinction
and success; but [ would not advise
you to labor after that kind of knowl
edge unless you have inherited a natur-
al talent for it. But you should un
derstand and appreciate the theory of
the American Government; you should
know where this republic began, where
it came from, and where it belongs in
the history of mankind, and what part
it is destined to play in the vast drama
of human existence. That is the sort
of politics that must appeal to any in
telligent man, and that will surely test
his utmost powers. And while on this
point, we may say in passing, that an
American who thinks another country
is better than this should not go into
journalism. You must be for the Stars
and Stripes every time, or the people
of this country won't be for you, and
you won't sell enough papers to pay
your expenses.-Charles A. Dana in
McClures Magazine for May.

A FRENCHMAN who has been travel
ing in this country, says in LIE Temps
that what struck him most in the
United States was the American habit
of filling the teeth with gold. About
S5OO.OOO worth of gold is thus used
every year, he says, all OF which, OF
course, is buried. So he figures that at
the end of three centuries the cemeter-
les of America will contain gold to
the value of $15O,OOO,OOO. II am
afraid he adds, shat this will prove
too tempting to the practical mind OF
the future American and we shall see
the day when companies will be organ
lied to mine the cemeteries and recov-
er the gold secreted in the jaws OF
dead ancestors The writer then goes
on to figure on the average amount OF
gold in the teeth of each dead person.
He has evidently been consulting the
record of vital statistics, for he says
that 900 people died in the United
States in 1889. This would bring the
value of gold in each dead persons
teeth to an average of about 6554 cents,
and we think that in well crowded
cemeteries the mining of this gold
could be carried on proftably despite
the small average value.

Loading Il Great Ocean Liner,

10 watch the loading of grain, either
from an elevator or lighter, into one
of the mammoth vessels engaged in its
transportation, is to witness one OF the
chief operations in the movements OF
the worlds commerce. 1t is carried in
long pipes, with funnel-shaped NOV
able appendage at the end, which is
shifted by means Of a rope from one
part of the hold to another, according
as the stream of grain fills up the
spaces reserved for it. The grain flows
into the vessel with the noise and
velocity of torrent and sends dense
volume of dust and chaff upward, OBJ
securing the depths beneath and MAX
ing the men attending the stoWage
below look like ghosts III the rising
mist
The trimming of the grain in the
holds is an important part OF It's
storage. After several thousand bush
els have streamed into the hold,
dozen or more men are delegated to
tween the vessels beams, a job for
which they are paid at the rate OF one
cent minute. In vessels of the Gun
ard stripe, it takes between $4,000 and
$1,000 bushels to fill hold, and these
vessels average $4,000 bushels in the,
total cargo. Ships carrying grain alone
can take as high as $4,000 bushels,
and when it is considered that from
1000 to 1000 bushels can be stored in
an hour, every 40 bushels weighing a
ton. an idea can be had of the force Of
the torrent directed into the vessel.
Large vessels have four or five holds,
and a distinction is made in storing the
cargo in them. Grain, from its COM
pact and dead weight, is reserved most
lv for the centre of the vessel, while
cured provisions are packed as far for
ward and as far aft as possible, for
their better preservation from the heat
of the ships fires. In some vessels, like
the great Cunarders, which carry pas
sengers as we'll as freight, the heaviest
weight is stored in the lowest hold; this
is to steady the vessel and is called in
the technical parlance of the stevedore,
"stiffening" the ship. 1t takes about
1,5OO tons to ''stiffen" great Cunarder,
and when this is done the lower hold is
fastened and battened down and work
is begun on the next.-Edward Gerard,
in Donahoe's Magazine.

may adopt. Few men will do wrong if
properly encouraged to do right, and the
way to prevent him from committing
crime is to prevent its causes, employ
him prolitably. The man who will re-
fuse brother employment simply be-
cause he or some of his family may
have done wrong, is very far from be-
ing right himself, and under great
temptations would flop all in heap.
The thoroughly honest man will assist
his weaker brother in his struggle to

comes loser by so doing. Be charita-

WHO are we? The question is not
propounded with frivolous intent as
some may believe, neither does it
involve us as individuals nor our
position in society, but concerns
us only as members OF the
great family of mankind. But, you
may exclaim Cui Bono. how is this
nonsensical question going to affect us
when asked by some insignificant per-
son, when such men as Darwin, Huxley
and others, have failed to find salts
factory solution to the problem in all
it's aspects. Who are we indeed? Let
us compare the beautiful mosaic mar
rative of our origin and the theory of
evolution One has mythical found
alton and plays on our superstitious
nature. The other is the child of I'M
matched genius and eXhaustless re-
search: a cable of wisdom which we
can grasp. We follow it back through
untold cons to where inorganic mat
ter became organic life; there it stops.
Coming back to our time we take up
the cable to trace the other end and
where will logical conclusion lead us
to? Surely the mutations of time have
not ceased? Organic life that now is,
will cease to be when it has doubled
it's length of years, "Man goeth to his
long home as the leaves fall from
the tree and decay" this is evolution
and it does not follow that the chain
of life produced by Darwin endeth
with man; hence man is but link in
the chain.

rather, belief, we have different view
of the subject. We do not see a pre-
conception of man in the mind of thu

Both Sept, 1894. The total number of
inmates confined was 63S male and "a

the years 1893 and "a, the average pop

Lamoreaux strongly recommends the

A MOST striking instance that there
are noble hearts beating beneath the
prison garb was fully demonstrated by
the action of the inmates of the reform
atory at St. Cloud last week. A fellow
inmate had died, and during the last
few days of his illness his aged mother
was permitted to be with him. Faith
full old soul. She could not forget the
erring boy; and, as ushering him into
the world she threw about him all the
love, tenderness and caresses of a
mothers heart, in his last hours, sur
rounded by all the evidences of sin and
shame, she still lavished upon him all
that mother love, which never dies.
This tenderness, which never goes with
out it's reward, awakened memories in
the minds and hearts of those who
witnessed the last hours of their brother
prisoner, on earth, of that other dear
old mother, who was, perhaps, weeping
over their sad condition; remembered
the days when she would draw them
closer to loving heart and whisper
words of comfort, words of wisdom;
bidding them "never, never go astray''
who perhaps was old, and poor. and in
want land they resolved to at least do all
they could to relieve the great distress
of their dead compdnion's aged mother,
who was extremely poor, and with no
one but the boy she had just placed un'
der the sod to look to for assistance
Out of the small earnings allowed them
by the state, they all contributed their
mite, and Supt. w. E. Lee, had the
qualification of forwarding to this
mother $1,000 the total contribution
The whole act was original and volun
tary with the reformatory boys, and re-
bounds to their credit. Boys, you have
done nobly, and God will reward you
for your generous and manly act.

Literary Nofcs

In "Dismantling the Chicago" in
once a Week for May 9th, the author,
an accomplished naval officer, says:
"a banquet hall deserted has been
mentioned as an example of real lone
someness after excitement and pleasure,
but truer sample of desertion than is
