HUNGER AS A MOTIVE.
IL Is One of the Mainsprings of Prog
rcss in Human Affairs.


rcss in Human Affairs.
The rowels of natures most powerful
spur, hunger, are continually redden-
ing the TANKS of the primitive commu-
nifty. The apostles scathing arraign-
ment of the Cretans, whose god is their
belly" would literally apply to every
savage tribe and many civilized one.
Hunger is one Of the mainsprings of
progress. At its imperative command
the flint was Clipped into the arrow
head, the dart, the spear. In its honor
the net was woven, the hoe was made
and the soil broken. To appease its
cravings the wild bull is broken to the
yoke, the forests are felled, the ditch
is dug through the marsh.
On its errands the ship is launched on
the perilous deep and the band sent out
upon the warpath. Into its service
have been impressed the winds of
heaven, the steam wreaths of the cal
dron and the glittering shafts of the
lightning. 1t is the real Aladdin's lamp
of civilization. The ceaseless westward
flow of the human stream and the
march of the star of empire" have
been at the benest of its genii. Whether
it be born of a barren soil and cruel
sky, or of the pressure of overpopula-
ton, it has played leading part in
molding the destinies of the nations.
In the fall of every world empire,
from Asyria to Rome, the conquering
race has invariably come from the
mountainous or barren land, or from a
sterner sky.
And still to-day the nations of the
bleakest belt of the temperate zone,
where the struggle with soil and eli
mate is severest, the Scotch, the Eng
lish, the Dutch and the North Germans,
are overrunning the whole of the in
globe, and bid fair to far out
do Alexander by more peaceable and
far more stable means.-Monist. |

CIRCUS MANS REcoLLEc1IoNs
Remembered n Giant Who Combed
His Hair with a Fence.

his mar WITH n Fence.
"Giants?" said the old circus man,
,elates the New York Sun. "Oh, yes,
we've had some big men in the show at
one time and another. One of the big
gest we ever had used to comb his hair
with a section of picket fence. That
was part of the street show when we
made the parade in town. Usually
we had an arrangement in advance with
the owner of the fence, and had a
panel loosened so that the giant
wouldn't wreck too much of the fence
in picking up the part he was to use.
When the show came along to this
spot the giant would step up to the
fence, take off his hat and pick up the
piece of fence-it always looked as Il
he had tremendous strength too-an6
raise it up and comb his hair with it.
And then he would put the big comb
down again and put on his hat and move
on. This always tickled the people i'm
mensely. And he certainly was big
man, sure; but we had bigger man
once. I wouldn't dare tell you how
big this other man was, because you
wouldn't believe it."

The latest styles of flutes come from
Nielsen, Saxony, where factory is
turning out these instruments in
porcelain. The inventor asserts that
the tone of porcelain flute is much
purer and larger than that produced OF

REFUSED THE TITLE ROLE.
Because of It's Impropriety and Was
Upheld by the Courts.

Because of Its improperly and Was
Upheld by the Courts.
A point in theatrical law has Just
been tried by the French courts, reports
the Pail Mall Gazette. The manager
of the theater at Cannes engaged Mile.
Rita d'Arzac to play soubrette and in
genue parts. For the greater part of
the season the young lady appeared
nightly, to her own satisfaction and
that of the house, as a sweetly innocent
young thing or as a comedy and modest
maid. 1t fell on a day, however, that
another lady of the troupe was taken i'll
and had to be replaced. Her role was
the principal one in the piece. 1t was
offered 10 Mile. d'Arzac, who, to the
general establishment, Indignantly re-
fused it. Never before, perhaps, in
the annals of the theater had an actress
declined to be promoted to the rank
of leading lady, Of course Mile. d'Arzac
had her reasons. The character she was
asked to play was that of lamentably
Tightly young person. Mile. d'Arzac
was appalled, at the thought of imper-
sonating this incorrigible baggage, and
ended by fatty refusing the proffered
part. Whereupon her manager stopped
her salary. She has sued him for the
same and won her case. Henceforth
nobody will be able to say that the
prophecies are not safeguarded is
France; and once more virtue, so often
i'll requited in real life, has met with
Its reward on the stage.

The bill states that the parties thereto were
married July II. 1891, and that they lived to-
gether until September, 1894, when the de-
PENDANT left and abandoned the plaintiff with
out cause.
That said abandonment has continued UNI
interruptedly for more than three years, and
was deliberate and final and there is no hope
of reconciliation of the parties.
That the plaintiff has always been true,
affectionate and dutlful wife, and that two
children were born as a result of their mar
riage, but the defendant has contributed
nothing to their support for more than three
years.
That the defendant is nonresident, resid-
ing in the State of New York

this bill, warning him to be and appear in
this Court in person or by solicitor ON or

On motion of T. III. Price, it was ac.
copied with vote of thanks.
Mr.. Shuckhart moved that bell be
placed on the hose house on the hill.
Mr.. Nickel thought the fire depart.
ment should say where the bell should
go and not the Council.
A colloquy ensued between Messrs
Nickel, Bear and Shuckhart relative
to the matter and finally by vote the
hall located IN tho hill
G. o. Towles, by formal communica
ton, asked for light at corner OF Frost
avenue and Locust street.
At this juncture Mr.. Shuckhart com
planned that the Council Chamber was
so poorly lighted that the members
could not see to do business.
Mr.. Nickel said that in the past
lights had been sufficient; now there
were six, what more did he want?
Mr.. Shuckhart responded by saying
that two arcs were necessary.
Mr.. Nickel contended that the
Council should say what it wanted.
The Mayor drought better dis
tribution would cover the difficulty.

and asked when the contract with tn,
Hotel Gladstone expired, stating il

getting its water too cheap, and als'
that the old Water company was cut

Council Proceedings.
When Mayor Bears gavel called the
Council together in regular session
Monday evening, every member was in
his place except DR.. Griffith, the peace
maker, and C. F. Nickel, the COM
moner, who came in shortly after, and
the session began in their absence
with seeming reluctance.
Upon the reading of the minutes of
last meeting Mr.. johnson wanted his
motion allowing John Hart $50 to
state that it was for services and not
damages. Just how a special police
man can earn $50 in a half or three
quarters of an hour was not stated,
nor was there any assurance given
that even if Hart accepted the $50 as
pay for services he would not still be
entitled to damages, and that this pay
ment would be no bar to his action.
The Street committee reported that
it would take $l75 to settle with Mr..
Bernard for the ground necessary to
make the improvements on German
street referred to at last meeting.

HOLIDAY VACATION
Closing Exercises Of the University
of Southern California


The University of Southern California
colsed yesterday for the Christmas holi-
days. At the morning chapel service
special exercises were held. After the
regular program the Glee club appeared
on the rostrum and sang ITO The
Bravest." They were heartily encored,
and responded with a plantation melody.
1.-THE Fall of Man." This was greeted
with a storm of applause, which brought
them out third time. A charming
"Serenade" was given, and then the
manager, Mr.. Bradley. made a short
speech, outlining the projected tour OF
the club. Dean Phillips made brief but
eloquent address to the students, and the
assemblage dispersed.
The football men Will spend their noli-
days at the college, and not at home, as
they play the Y M. G. A. team at San
Diego on Christmas day. and have an
other game scheduled WIKI a Ventura
team on New Years day.
The Medical college will not close until
next Thursday. The students met yes

things which the politician may elect to
pay. clothing personal aims in the diaph-
ANGUS delusion of serving the public
veal"
This is how is told the incident of the
miraculous draft Of fishes:
THE men (the Gallean fishermen) had
been out since the day before, and the
capricious lake, whose abundant shoals
of fish sometimes choked and sometimes
evaded the most skillful net, had yielded
nothing to an all nights hard work
Sleepless, hungry, uncomfortable, wet
and discouraged the fishermen had
roWed ashore, sulenly washed their
nets, and put out again at the request of
Jesus, who expressed a wish to use one
Of their boats as a temporary pulpit
Wherefrom to finish one of His brief
discourses. At the surprising order of
the preacher, that they set their nets in
such and such spot, the cross and dis
heartened men smiled with respectful
doubt. A superior rabbi does not make
a good fisherman. The lectern, not the
deck. was the place for the landsman.
When, however, they hopelessly followed
His suggestion. and the richest haul of
fish taken on Gennesaret that night
broke the nets and all but sank the boat,
the moral effect was such as only poor
men can appreciate. Here was no COM
mon rabbi, who would stick to his syn
agogue and let man starve. Here was
wonder and wonder worker, caring
for a poor fellow and the catch, concern
ing himself about your affairs, not above
your troubles. The most warm hearted
man in the crew dropped to his knees
among the leaping fish and impulsively
offered to Jesus the service of his life"
From His anguish on the cross we
take the following extract:
1T was not unusual for the crucified to
linSer for days and surprise penetrated
the onlookers when they perceived that
the sensitive NaZarene was already
sinking. He had not been under torture
for yet six hours, but the signs Of coming
dissolution were apparent even now
