MYSTERIES OF LITERATURE
spiritual Law in the Natural World"
AS ExEMPLIFIED IN

The above beautiful association OF
words has been submitted to various
experts in language, but no one has
been .ound who can tell Us what it all
means. By lucky chance We found
the key IN the professors book, already
named. on page 295, as follows:
The explanation lies in the fact that the
weighs OF the soul cannot be measured 10 OBJ
jective terms. Whatever it is disposed or can
be stimulated to do in Spontaneous, uncon-
ditioned activity to easier than lighter mat
tiers essayed in conditioned WAYS through the
operation ofdeterminatIve energy.
These two sentences contain forty
seven words, an average Of o 10.
OF course with this key before us the
meaning of the association Of words is
no longer a mystery.
While 80 much credit is given to man
for his ability to live and move and have
his being in the transcendental incubus

due consideration to the mighty

thousand pounds to the square inch.
Up to the genesis OF this lecture in
the world OF infinitesimal molecules

the exact workings o. spiritual Law in
the natural world. The professor, in

Then there is the following:
All this We understand.
Perhaps the most striking thing about
this sentence is the fact that it con-
ta;ns but four words. Note the fluctu-
atipg course Of the professor. First he
gives US q sentence OF thirty two words.
Then he drops to nine. Then follows a
Hookerian sentence Of forty words.
There is, withal, singular beauty in
the directness OF statement in this SEN
tence. 1t is almost Hugoesque in its
strength. There is no eqnivocation
about it. "All this We understand

OF course the TACT that we do not

happened also that families not able to build independently joined In groups of two, three and more, and raised Q house in common, one family occupying the ground floors, others the floors above" That the tenement-houses of the old Romans were of remarkable height there is plenty of evidence. Pro- lessor Lanciani quotes decree of Au- gustus limiting the height of new houses in Rome to seventy Roman feet, which proves that previous to that time tenement-houses had been built to greater height. In an account given by Tacitus of @ partisan combat around the Capitolium he states that the roofs of the houses which surrounded the Sacred Hill were level with the plat form of the temple of Jupiter Optimus MaXimus, The platform of this tenn pie, still visible in the gardens of the Caffarelli palace, now occupied by the German embassy, rises thirty-one me tres above the level of the ancient street which skirts the foot of the cliffs on the north side; therefore, the houses built against the cliffs were at least thirty-one metres high, The account of Tacitus is confirmed by existing ruins. As a metre is equivalent to about three feet three inches in Ameri- can measurement, we thus arrive at the historical fact that the tenement house blocks of ancient Rome quite commonly rose to height of over 100 feet
 Possibly there are descendants of the Caesars living in New Haven tenement houses to-day. If there are it is all right, if they pay their rent and don't quarrel over who shall sweep the stairs.

SOUND AS 4 GOLD DOLLAR.

There has been a tremendous effort made to show that the Republican nominee for President is not sound on the financial question. Let's see.
 In 1893, in answer to his Demo- cratic opponent, who told the people he was willing to chance it on free silver, Major Mckinley said My worthy opponent should not chance" anything with a question of such vital and absorbing interest as the money of the people. The money of America must be equal to the best money of the world. Unlike my opponent, I will not ask you to take any chances on this question; I will clearly and unequivoc- fiuence are in favor of the best money that the ingenuity of man has devised. The people are not prepared to indulge in the speculation of free and unlimit- ed coinage.
 And as late as May 8, 1896, Major Me Kinley said to a representative of the New York Recorder at Canton: I am in favor of the double standard, but I am not in favor of the free and unlimit- ed coinage of silver in the United States until the nations of the world shall join us in guaranteeing to silver a status which the laws now accord to gold. With our present light, every consideration of safety requires us to hold our present status until the great nations shall agree to an international ratio.
 It is right and just to judge Major NcKinley's position by these recent ut terarces. They show that he is all right on the main issue of the cam paign.

CHAIRMAN HdNNlI.

MT. Hanna, who so quietly and effi- ciently helped Mr. Mckinley to his nomination, has now been chosen chair man of the National committee to help him to his election. He expects to have his headquarters in New York city. If he exhibits the same persistence, sagaC- ity, resourcefulness and 'get there" in his management of the campaign as he exhibited in his work before the con- Vention it will be great campaign. He probably will. He should and will have all the help that can be given him. He won at St. Louis fairly and com pletely and none of his antagonists who have the proper spirit will begrudge him his victory or begrudge him their help toward the greater victory which is coming for the Republican party.

AN OLD HABIT.

The modern Romans who came to this country to live seem to take quite naturally to tenemeht houses. In so doing perhaps they are but showing tendencies which have come down to them from the ancient Romans. Pro lessor Rodolfo Lanciani tells us, in he North American Review for June, that at the time of its greatest development old Rome numbered 1,790 palaces ard 46,602 tenement-houses, it's total popu- lation being about one million souls, so that the tenement-house, as we know it in our own cities, is, after all, only a revival of a style of habitation well known in Rome at least as early at i55 B. c. At that time, according to Dip- nysius, the Plebeians agreed to divi le among themselves bona fide the build ing lots on the Aventine, each family selecting space in proportion with tie means of which it disposed.

EDUCATED.

Chairman Macdonald of the Repub- lican Town committee being asked yes- terday if the campaign that has begun was to be an educational one replied: NO. The people are already educated They're waiting for the polls to open. D
 There is some solid truth in this answer. The people are educated, and they have had some very impressive teaching. When a voter is promised that if he will vote certain ticket he will have higher wages and less ex- penses, and when he finds after he has voted that ticket that he has lower or no wages and that the cost of living isn't reduced he is pretty apt to learn something. And when he finds that the party which promised to give him a better government than the party against which he voted doesn't know how to apply the first principles of good government, he begins to under stand that he has been fooled.
 Yes, the voters are educated. They have taken several degrees in the school of bitter experience. Some think that knowledge which is whipped into a pupil is apt to stay there. If there is any truth in this theory the people who voted the Democratic ticket at the last presidential election are permanently educated. At any rate, they know enough not to vote that ticknt this ,rnnn

Recent references to Mir. Gladstone as "a Jesuit in disguise" have recalled a curious correspondence that took place some thirteen years ago. At a Land League meeting at Ennis a par ish priest named Kenny affirmed that MT. Gladstone deserved no credit for having passed the Church Disestablish- ment bill "as he had at that time given Cardinal Wiseman to understand that he (Gladstone) was about to conform to the Roman Catholic Church, but when everything was prepared to re ceive him, and the altar candles were lighted, the Cardinal received a letter from him stating that he had changed his mind" Mr. Kenny alleged that he had this information lon the highest authority" who, it transpired later, was Dr. Coffin, Roman Catholic Bishop of Southwark The statement was sent to MT. Gladstone, who replied that there was not "the smallest shadow of foundation" for the story.

 T. F. Morgan of Groton, in this State, for several years the special agent of the Alaska Seal company, has entered into 8, curios speculation. He and his associates have leased five small islands off the Alaskan coast and will use them for the raising of blue foxes, silver foxes and royal sables. MT. Morgan's company, which Is organized under New Jersey charter with $100,0O0 capi- tai, controls the five islands, which aggregate about 15O0OO acres. The skins are marketed in Paris and Lon don, the blue fox skins selling at $20, and those of the silver fox at from $50 to $75 each. The company has also acquired some small islands on the coast of Maine. The experiments there are, however, carried on op a small scale and thus far have not progressed far enough to warrant shipment of skins, although the foxes stationed there are doing well.

The Protestant Episcopal diocese of Michigan has decided in annual con- vention that women may vote for ves- trymen The decision was made after learning that woman suffrage was sat isfactory in other dioceses. Twenty five dioceses had responded that women were permitted to vote for vestrymen. Four missionary dioceses had adopted the system. These dioceses made fa- vorable reports. The men, it was said, maintained as much interest in the af- fairs of the church in those dioceses where women voted as was manifested in other dioceses where they did not, so that the effects of the proposed change were on the whole good The system had been in operation many years in Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky and in other dioceses from the begin ming, so that it was not new and un- tried experiment.
