Prelates at Repartee.

There was an amusing episode at the
commencement exercises of the George
town university. Archbishop Ryan of
Philadelphia delivered an eloquent adj
dress on civil and Religious Liberty. .
At its conclusion Cardinal Gibbons was
asked to say few words The cardinal
expressed the pleasure with which he
had listened to the archbishop and then
recalled the famous will of Stephen Gil
rard, the Philadelphia philanthropist,
who, in bequeathing the money for the
Girard institute, stipulated expressly
that no religious instruction should be
ever included i'll the curriculum. He
then passed on to Daniel Webster s
great speech Oh that will and added
that never since that speech had he
heard the subject treated in so mastery
a manner as it had been handled today
by the distinguished archbishop of Phil
adelphia. Indeed it was a striking CO.
incidence that not only did the two
speakers agree on many thoughts, but
that in many instances the reverend
speaker today had made eloquent use of
identical language Of his great prede-
cessor.
The audience smiled audibly and
looked at Archbishop Ryan. The latter
arose when Cardinal Gibbons had con-
cluded. Il feel that the words of Car
dinal Gibbons call for some little ex-
PLANTATION on my part, he said. 81 can
only say that, while am proud to have
agreed with Daniel Webster, did it I'M
Willingly, for l have never read the
speech to which the cardinal refers.
But drew my inspiration from a NEST
excellent and interesting work written
by Cardinal Gibbons himself OH the
subject, and it is not impossible that
was so carried away by the force and
beauty of his language that / may haze
unconsciously repeated his very words,
l will leave it to the audience to draw
their own conclusions. Then the audi
ence looked at Cardinal Gibbons for q
counter explanation, but the prelate

BALD HEADS CLOTHED.



Hair Appeared On the ShIniest Pate.
As sample Of commercial enterprise
the scheme of vender Of u preparation
for strengthening the hair, who has been
touring the northern part Of South Da-
kota for some time past. stands alone.
The merits Of the doctors preparation
do not enter into the story, although
the doctor himself does not seem to
have placed much confidence in them.
A few days before his appearance in
each town a stranger with an exceed
ingly bald and shining Uranium invari
ably made his appearance, engaged
rooms and took immediate steps to in
gratiate himself with as many Of the
residents as possible He always pro
fessed to be III the place on import art
business, and without spending much
money contrived to make himself an
object of general interest in the little
community Before long the doctor
wonld show up. bring his wagon to a
stand on prominent corner. gather a
crowd and proceed to extol the many
virtues of his famous preparation. Par
chasers were never turned away, but
the sale of the medicine was not the
Doctors principal object. Just when the
crowd was greatest the baldhcaded
stranger would stroll idly up. attracted,
of course. simply by the Doctors era
tory, and push himself into IS promi-
nent place as possible.
There's a fit subject fer an expert.
ment, the doctor would exclailn as
soon as he noticed the new arrival
May try my patent hair renewer On
you? 1t shan't cost you cent / sim
ply want to show these people that it
viii do all claim. =
The stranger never made the least
objection to this proposition. A liberal
dose Of the mixture was applied to his
head. and the doctor drove on, after as
surfing his hearers that another chance
would be given them within the next
few weeks to invest in his wonderful
remedy. Not long after a delicate new
growth of hair would begin to appear
ON the strangers crown, and by the
time the doctor made his second visit &c
the city no finer head would be seen on
the streets. In no case is the doctor re-
corded rs having failed~to rake in lib
eral supply of shekels on his second trip
A round price was charged for the re-
newer, but what baldheaded man would
fail to invest in so valuable remedy
for his complaint? Then the doctor and
the strange visitor would disappear,
never to be seen more in that locality.
Now the doctor has completed his
round up of the South Dakota villages.
He will not reappear among them again
for long time. He makes no secret of
the fact that the men upon whom his
remover worked such remarkable cures
were in his employ or that their heads
were clearly shared before the drug
was applied to them. Then it was nee
essary only to withhold the razor, and
a fine growth of hair was not long i'll
making its appearance. Sioux City

Endurance of Man.

The question of the endurance of the
man of today is always anthropologio-
ally curious when compared with the
past. The general consensus of opinion
tends to the belief that the average
primitive man, as far as physique is
concerned, was not a whit better off
than is his descendant of today. Even
special traits may be denied to the first
Environment would, of course, have
made changes-adapted him to peculiar
climates. As to the question Of endur-
ance, Mr.. Caspar Whitney shows con-
ylnelngly that the white man was quite
the equal OF the Indian III the far north,
and that the white man could keep up
with the Indian III running and even
outpace him, and, besides that, could
bear priyation and exposure to terribly
low temperature, just as well as the In
dian. The white man had certain adj
yantages even, due to a higher cerebral
development, such as will power. In
fact, Mr.. Whitney knew better how to
take care of himself and preserve his
vital force than did his redskin ccmpan-
ions. But there was one single advan-
tage the Cree or the half breed did pos
sess, and it was that from constant use
