The Beers as body are unprogress-
i've, unadventurous, averse to change.
The British are progressive, active and
eager for adventure. The Beers arc
hunters and cattle owners. The British
are miners and traders. Tho British
have tho forces of education, science
and capital on their side; the Beers, ON
the other hand, decline to avail them
selves of tho resources by which wealth
is accumulated, and through which the
power conferred by wealth is acquired.
Tho Beers receive no reinforcement by
emigration; tho British population is
increasing daily by the constant influx
of new patches Of emigrants. Given
these conditions, and tho result is GER
tain.
In virtue of natures law of the "sur-
vival of tho fittest," the British are
bound to distance the Beers in the fu-
ture as they have done in the past. In
this world. as present constituted, tho
weaker is certain in the long run to go
to tho wall. just as in the southern
states in America the Yankee is hunting
out the southern planter, so tho Briton
Is compelled by tho same manifest des-
tiny TO oust the Boer. hold, therefore,
that no matter what ones respect may
be for the individual fine qualities of
the Boer population, one can entertain
no doubt that in the end the race that
goes ahead must get the better Of the
race that stays at home. Nineteenth

But Seven Impeachment Trials.

General Harrison discusses "Impeach-
ment" in his "This Country Of Ours"
article in Ladies' Home Journal. He
presents the constitutional provisions
for the impeachment Of high officials,
and recalls that the process has been put
into operation but seven times. Will
liam Blount, q senator from Tennessee,
was the first official to be tried on i'm
peachment proceedings. His trial oc-
Cured in 1897. The others were: John
Pickering, United States district
judge for New Hampshire, in 1903
Justice Samuel Chase of the United
States supreme court, about the same
time; James II. Peck, judge Of the
United States district court for the dis
trict of Missouri, in 1880; Judge Hum
phreys Of the United States district
court for the district of Tennessee, in
1869; President Andrew Johnson, in
1858; William w. Belknap, secretary
n war, in 1876. There were but two
convictions-Judge Pickering and Judge
Humphreys.

One of the most interesting species Of
frogs that have been described is the
one discovered by Mr.. Wallace in Bor-
neo number of years ago. 1t has been
popularity called the flying frog, from
the fact that it has toes of great length,
and these are fully webbed to the tips.
If the animal wishes to descend from
the top Of high tree, it has only to
make the leap, and by spreading out its
toes it converts its feet into four veri-
table parachutes, and thus this little
aerial batrachian reaches terra firma in
safety. Among the most curious types
are the tree frogs, and Gibson says these
"are readily distinguished from all 9TH
ers by having the ends of their toes di-
lated into knobs or disks, generally pro-
vided with sticky secretion, by means
Of which they can cling to the leaves
and branches Of trees. They are small,
elegant and exceedingly active creatures,
the males possessing loud voices, OF
which they make copious use during the
breeding season and on the approach Of
rain. Popular Science Monthly.

Tn. Growth of Tn. Finger Nails.

A prominent manicure, who has de-
voted many years TO the study Of tho
subject, states as the result Of his OBJ
servations, that tho finger nails Of the
human species grow more rapidly In
children than in adults, and that the
growth IL slowest with the aged. His
observations, however, do not stop at
this, for he finds that both in childhood
and age they grow faster In summer
than I'm winter In one instance nail
that required 1879 days to renew in win
ter renewed In summer In exactly 116
days During both seasons the patient
upon whom this experiment was made
enjoyed normal health. The method Of
testing this growth was in each instance
the same. The nail was pared close and
slightly notched at the quick Both
the right and left hands were studied,
with the result that he afIlrms that the
growth of the finger nairSkis more rapid
on the right hand than on the left.
One popularity OF the growth of fin
ger nails. in addition to those stated,
is that the period Of renewal differs pro-
portionately with the length of the an-
gers. Thus IL is moro rapid in the mid
die fingers than any other In the fin
gers on either side Of the middle finger
the period of renewal is about equal and
slower It is oven more slow in the lit
tie finger, and the slowest of all in the
thumb. Comparing the same fingers
with the different hands, the person
who discovered these curious phases of
growth states that on an average tho
nails on the left hand fingers require SO
days longer to renew than those Of the
right hand. In one particular, the
growth Of the nails and hair and beard
is governed by the same law--that Of
growing moro rapidly in summer than

Tho Sacred Bo Tree.

On the night Of Oct. z, 1887, the tree
worshipers Of Ceylon met with an ir-
reparable calamity. During one Of the
worst storms that ever ragged on the is
land their sacred bo tree was thrown to
the ground. The Oldest written descrip-
tion Of this wonderful tree known to
exist is that by Fa Ham, Chinese his
torian and traveller, who visited the tree
in the year 4l4 A. d. According to the
learned Chinaman. it was then 702 years
old. having been planted by King De-
vinipiatissa in the year 28S before our
era began II the above data be correct.

CATCHING COD IN MAINE.
The Fishermen Set Out Travis with Three
Thousand Hooks Attached.

In the herring fishery everything is
done with the seine. In fishing for cod,
halibut and bakc hand lines are used to
limited extent, but most of the cap
lures ARE made by travis. All Of the
craft are schooner rigged, and but few
Of them carry topmasts. This gives
them slovenly appearance aloft, but
they do away with the spar because the
craft rolls less in a sea when at anchor.
There are no fine lines about the hulls.
The object is room and stability, and
while they are good seaboats they are
not fast sailers. Tho owners of the craft
find travis, small boats, salt and pro-
visions, and two trips year is the NV
eragc for the craft which salts her fish
Oh board.
Out of the feet few take ice 6nd re-
turn to market with fresh fish every
two or three weeks, but the majority
catch and salt down. The crew go on
shares. Whom the craft returns, the
owners figure up the expense of the
outfit and add to it half the value Of
the catch. What is left is divided pro
rata among the crew. IL the catch has
been good, each one OF tho 10 or Is
men has made about $40 per month,
but II is quite as likely that he won't
have made dollar day, though he has
had free board all tho time, and good
board ut that. Fishing on the banks at
any time of the year is hard and dis
agreeable work.
Goldfish are very crratic In their
movements. A schooner may have fish
around her for 80 days, one day being
as good as another, or she may sail and
drift for three or four days without
getting bite. II luck is with her,
down goes the anchor, and the trawlers
begin to work. A trawl may bo de-
scribed rs n rope many hundred feet
long, to which ut intervals of 38 inches
fishhooks are attached by lines about
two feet long. There are 3, 900 hooks to
the average trawl, which is attended by
two men. Each man has 800 hooks TO
bait and care for. The rope is weighted
to sink within few feet of the bottom
and is then buoyed. The trawl is gen
orally set late in the afternoon and
overhaulcd the next morning.
If luck is with the fishermen, 500 cod
may be taken from "a trawl. They are u
voracious fish, and in scizing the bait
firmly hook themselves. II often hap
pens that the 8, 900 hooks may be over
hauled without securing more than 90
fish, but again the catch may be 1900.
The boats Of the trawlers look some
thing like ordinary river skiffs, but
are very buoyant and easily handled. A
schooner with 10 men aboard puts out
travis and 8 men. The rest are
left to work the craft and attend to the
fish as they come in.-Lewiston Journal.

The Chinese Religion.

Chinese religion has never had the
puerilities, the animal cults, the cruel
ties and fanaticism Of other religions
Like tho Jews, the Chinese had very
vague ideas Of future rewards and pun
ishments and Of life after death. Their
ancestor cult had no Hydrologic motive
like that Of India or Japan. The Chi
nese, like the Jews and ancient Egyp-
tians, had the philosophic conception
that continuation of life lies not in the
immortality of the soul, but in the per-
petual remembrance of the righteous by
mankind. The Chinese could not perse-
vero with metaphysical problems, and
so did not advance.
Confucius appeared at time when
the Chinese felt the need Of religion
but the greatest Of their religious re-
formers was Lao-tseu, who was born
about Goa B. c., or half century be-
fore Confucius. He introduced the word
Tao, "way," for the idea Of divinity,
which previously was confused with the
visible sky (Schang-ti). Tao is the ele-
ment from which everything comes and
to which everything returns. Lao-tseu
also taught that the departure Of the
soul from the body was no disaster for
us. But he was too vague to be con-
vincing reformer. Confucius was not an
original thinker like Lao tseu; he culled
what he liked from the older writers,
and allowed people to believe what they
chose. When consulted, he spoke in an

NEW YEARS CALLING.

The old custom of new years calling,
into disfavor, seems this year deader
than ever. Except in certain quarters
and among certain classes whose social
canons are neither new nor exacting,
there will be no calling. The doors
Of society will be more tightly shut
than ever tomorrow, and even the
daintily ribboned basket at the door

tom OF exchanging greetings on the
advent of the new year Is dead beyond

And it is an end which no sensible

what disgraceful scenes ii rendered

toned or tolerated and how silly aud

resolved TO crush il out, The life u
