AIE,lg,s COLUMN.

Ina pamphlet recently published In
Paris, the author, Amsdo Bochef,
makes n prediction which IL calculated
to cause serious reflections among the
thoughtful In the Old World. lie
takes the view that the exposition In
Paris In the year 1900 will bs tho last
In Europe. The expeditions Of the
goth century will DO held neither In
London nor In Berlin or Paris, but Ia
Rio dc JsnSiro, JDhAnnesbnrg or
Toxic. The reason he assigns for this
lie that there alter tue present century
will be no Europe any longer, a. It ex.
lets at the present time,
At the exposition Ia the year 1900,
NJ. Boohsr says, South Africa,
New Holland, La Plata, California
and other countries will exhibit their
agricultural products OF every kind,
wine, fruit, grain, fsh, mineral prod.
uots, cosl-All the products Of the
earth. And at the same time the eI-
tremo east, India, China aud Japan,
will exhibit their agricultural prod.
uols together with those OF their
manufactures. When this prices are
compared, the aErloulturiits and
manufacturers Of Europe will realize
the seriousness OF the situation. They
will mud II impossible to compete with
the new Countries, South America,
Australia, South Africa, Japan and
China. Tbs Paris exposition will b.
ons Of the Creates. shows ever
presented In the history OF the
human race, but when its fireworks
and blazing glory shall have become
extinct, the world Will stand Ia Tho
presence Of a rev future and Ia stormv.
The very day after the exposition, the
struggle will commence between the
aged Europe and tho newborn Orient.
Tue views here expressed have been
put forth repeatedly. In substance at
least, by writer's on this side Of the
Atlantic. The world seems to be at
the threshold OF Of = new era, but the
Idea that the re0ORstruolion IL 10 near

Of Euro ssan civilization, will probably

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

NoRDAu's ERRORS.
Lombroso Tells Where the Author of "De-
generation" Goes Astray.

Lombroso Tells Where the Author of "Dc-
generation" Goes Astray.
Even though starting from new and
just position, Nordau has gone astray:
Convinced of the scope of the new psy-
chlatric weapon which he had in his
hands, he has so far overshot the mark
as to impair the effect of his purpose.
More alienist than the alienist, he no
sooner finds neurotic or maddish
author than he thinks his work itself
can be demolished. Thus, after having
demonstrated by very subtle analysis
that in Wagner the philosophic ideas
concerning life are contradictory or
archaic-such as the idea of the strug-
gle between the flesh and the soul, or
between the spirit and the senses-he
concludes that Wagner was therefore
crazy, and not a genius. Likewise, be-
cause of Tolstoi's mysticism, or his de-
structive ideas on love and science, he
deems Tolstoi insane and his books
| nonsense
But probably all geniuses have the
eccentricities, and even the delirious
ideas, which he notices in Tolstoi,
| Wagner and Ibsen. The last chapter of
Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister" is more in
comprehensive and extravagant than
the ideas of Tolstoi; while Balzac's
scientific opinions, and his innumer-
able fluids, would find mates in the lit
erature of insane asylums. To dem
onstrate that geniuses are insane is
not difficult, because, as l and others
before me have shown, genius is form
| of degeneratiye neurosis Certainly
Poictevin, Mallarme and Gail are de-
generates and even mattoids. Tolstoi,
wagner and Swinburne may be mad or
degenerate, but in addition to the quail.
tiles just named, and which belong to
the ordinary insane, they have genius
that is what Nordau has too frequently
forgotten Degeneration, for one who
follows my theories, instead of destroy.
ing, fortifies the diagnosis which proves
them to be geniuses, and enlarges its
range; because only the mediocre have
not maddish forms for the very reason
that they lack fecund originality, which
is the basis of genius.
The man of genius is the man who
does better than his contemporaries
and in different way; he is therefore
an abnormal being, an exception. He
is different from his environment, he
is not completely sane as to his intel
lect, he has many physiological ant
psychological blemishes, he is afflicted
either by the delirium of persecution
or by megalo-mania, or by religious de
hrium, more often by psychic epilepsy

How She Saw a Whale.

Ibid you see any whales while cross
ing the Atlantic?" said the stay-at-home
girl to the travelled damsel.
"No-that is, yes. l saw whale by
proxy, I mean"
"How on earth could you see whale
by proxy"
"1t was this way: I had seen twenty
three sharks, by actual count, but not
a single whale. There was nice young
man aboard who had seen two whales.
He suggested that trade off ten of
my sharks for one of his whales, which
l did. That left me with thirteen
sharks and one whale. That's how i
saw whale by proxy. Judge.

WHAT HE WAS THERE FoR.
Tho Soldiers idea Was That He Had to
Put Down tho Rebellion.


Put Down the Rebellion.
"when the war was on" remarked
an ex-congressman, land l felt pretty
sure that it was to be no ninety-dny
affair, went to work to recruit COM
pany and see what could do toward
settling it. 1 lived in n community
whose men were as willing to take few
risks in that line as myself, and it
wasn't any trouble at all to pick up
enough men for company. l had any
number of enthusiasts in my command,
but one boy about sixteen years old
had more enthusiasm than all of us
combined. He wasn't very handsome
and he wasn't very good, but he was
full of hurrah, and that was what we
wanted, because 1 felt that hard times
were before us, and all the surplus ef-
fervescence would be worked off as soon
as we got into the field.
This particular young fellow /
thought would be the first to cave, for
he talked like man that was more
mouth than sand, and can't say that
had much confidence in him, except
for temporary purposes. Well l got
the company together in short order,
and it wasn't very long until we were
ordered to go to the front with the regi-
ment. One night, shortly after we got
into fighting country, we came within
range of the Johnnies. They were
somewhere on the other side of a small
stream, with bridge over it, and my
company was sent forward to protect
the bridge. AS we moved forward
there was no sign of the nemy, and we
didn't expect him for mile at least,
when suddenly we sprung him in a
clump of woods not three hundred
yards in front of us.
81 threw my men into lipe of battle
at once to storm the woods, for it was
not big, and 1 knew that not ans more
men than l had could be hidden there,
and was at that time ready to fight
four or five times as many men as 1
might meet. l waited, however, for
some sign before making a move, when
all at once long line of light shot out
from the woods and the bullets spat-
tered all around us and two or three of
my men went down. This had cool
ing effect, and 1 concluded it was not
my time yet to charge, so let the boys
return the tire. They did it with a
will, too, and in very short time the
woods were still and the enemy had
gone out. had ordered my men to
cease firing, and the order was obeyed,
except as to one man down about the
middle of the line, who kept banging
away, regardless. l spotted him and
made a rush down his way.
Here, you blamed fool I ex-
claimed, what do you mean by firingP
Didn't you hear the order to cease?'
"It was my young enthusiast about
five PAGES in advance of the line, and
he banged away again and dropped
his gun.
"'What do you mean by thatp' said,
getting hot.
"'Excuse me, cap he responded
with the easy familiarity of the volun-
