THE ANGLO-SAXON FUTURE.

Archibald Alison, reviewing Tocquevlle al
most three-quarters of century ago foretold
the part to be played by races distinguished
from nations in world politics. and, though pre-
dieting the splitting up Of the American States.
laid great emphasis OH the idea Of Anglo Saxon
solidarity. Thought along the same line has
been applied to the worlds present condition
by Mr. George Burton Adams. who writes for
"Thc Atlantic Monthly" Of July on "'The United
States and the Anglo-Sax Future" Assam
ing that international politics means more than
the petty questions OF Continental Europe. and
that with Japan seeking leadership of the Mon
golian world and France and Germany mixing
desperate efforts TO secure colonial empire be-
fore 1t is too late, the small nations will be over
taken by the fate Of Wales and Scotland. Mr.
Adams discusses the possibility of Anglo Saxon
empire and the question Of leadership In IT,
England. he believes, is incapable of such
leadership. owing to her inability to understand
the colonial temper. her habit of letting i'm
perlal politics drift and her lack of comprehen-
sion Of the idea Of Federal government. The

Saxon world. with coast line facing Britain

Wonderful are the whims of the hu-
man stomach. What kills one man gives
another life One of the strangest cases
of craving for food on the part of a
sick man is narrated by Mrs. Hazen in
"Our Army Nurses " She was at the
time (1S64) nurse i'll the Columbian
hospital at Washington. Among her pa
tients was "boy''-though he was a
veteran Of four years standing-whO
had come to the hospital several months
before with wounded knee. This is
her strange story:
The surgeons had held many exami-
nations. He was failing rapidly; could
not retain anything, even cold water
causing hemorrhage of the stomach.
"What is the verdict, doctor:' | asked
one morning.
He can live but few days at the
longest" was the answer, "and may
die i'll a few hours. "
"Then, doctor, please let him have
what he wants while he does live. "
II give him into your hands, Miss
Titus. Do what you please for him. "
The bandages were at once removed,
as he had complained that they were
uncomfortable. Then, as soon as the
other patients were cared, for went to
a market garden and bought a head of
cabbage. He had often said he wanted
something green, if only "boiled grass. "
When the cabbage was cooked, carried
him some, with cider vinegar, and fed
him.
He ate all there was ON the plate,
asked for more, which was brought,
and still a third and fourth plate, till
he had eaten the whole cabbage.
From that dinner, in May, he began
to improve, and on the 18th of June
started with him ON u stretcher for his
home in Pennsylvania, as his life even
then depended upon his diet, and such
meals as he ate would have made u vel
man sick.
He recovered, but had stiff knee

We are said to travel affair by night .
In chariots with horses swift.
We stealthily creep where there is no light
All logic we scatter adrift.
We fly in high windows we rush up stairs;
All sleepers seek on our way.
In spite of resistance, in spite Of all airs
We never shall yield up our sway.
All, don't imagine tbs only at night ri
That we use our influence strong;
We reign with power though the sunshine Ia

Many heed us and SO avert wrong.
The weary toiler when seeking his rest
Would gladly drive us from his brain.
Ha, ha ha, we laugh he may Try his best,
His efforts are only in vain.
To babies we tiptoe with silent tread.
Their dear little hearts we delight:
We hover tenderly over each bed
And whisper of angels SO bright.
Full many a sad heart we have gladdened,
To our daytime visits we cling.
An, we grieve for each soul we have saddened.

Life ON Other M.nrlds.

Even on the earth there are animals
that exist with very little water, and this,
taken in connection with other universal
laws, appears to meet the strongest objec-
tions of those who maintain, because con-
ditions on other planets are not analogous
TO ours, life cannot exist elsewhere in
space. No doubt on Mars, and perhaps
ON grander spheres where are studied the
operations of this mite of world, there
are sentient beings who, regarding the
glories and radiance of their own exist
ence, doubt that life can endure on "a
sphere like the earth, which is wrapped in
clouds, vapor and water. Albany journal

Exhaustive experiments with Y rays on

ported to the French Academy of Science.
A number of guinea pigs We're inoculated
with tuberculosis virus. Half of them
were subjected to the rays every day for
eight weeks. Both lots were treated pre-
cisely alike, with the exception of the ap-
plication of the rays. Al the end Of the
experiment it was found that the guinea
pigs treated with the rays were in excellent
health and had grown fat The others had
developed abscesses and were evidently
ailing 1t is II fact long established that
light kills certain sorts Of germs 1t may
be that in this wonderful discovery a cure
for or mitigation of this dread disease has
been found Certainly il would seem to
be in order to pursue this object with u
