PARKaURsT breaches ON WAR

Mnn, He Says, Is n Gorilla With h
Conscience.
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Dr. Parkhurst
was back in his old place in the pulpit
of the Madison Square Presbyterian Church
yesterday, after long summer vacation
He preached TO a congregation that con-
sisted of over so per cent of strangers.
who were drawn to the church by the repu-
tation of DR.. Parkhurst DR.. Parkhursl
said in part:
Man is fundamentally a brute beast.
and as such war is his, natural condition
He is a gorilla with a conscience and il
you are much versed in the old rect rds
We must be persuaded that primitively there
was quite as much gorilla as conscience
When our Teutonic forefathers overran
Spain we are informed by an eyewitness
that they slew every human being that they
could lay hands upon. The number of the
slaughtered amounted to over 5, goo 900 be-
ings. That was not a long time ago, "a
history records time, no further back than
the seventh century
Zone Of our daily papers is daily keeping
record, an American record, OF the num-
Der of American soldiers killed in the
Philippine war. l believe that tie number
is now something like 1900. From one
point of view this is good many; but at
the same time 5000 men is not a great
many as against 5000, 900. Four hundred
years later-that is to say. the eleventh
century-it was still true. as Gibbon says,
that every peasant was a soldier and every
village a fertilization. But even this con-
dition was ameliorated.
"Apain fOur hundred yaarg later Gr0tiuS
admits that according to traditions the vic
tor has a sort of right to siay all prisoners
taken in war but thinks that in dealing
with Christians captured IL would be more
proper to hold them as subjects of ransom.
Then we come down four hundred years
later to our own time, to that epoch making
event of our own country, the International
peace conference. Granted that conference
did not yield all the results that had in
some quarters been expected of it; granted
| that three OF the countries eonspicuously
participant in that conference are today
making brute force the means Of national
enlargement, nevertheless that conference
was an international expression that war
is not human, but is essentially beasJly.
There is a great deal of disquiet in some
quarters over the treatment accorded 10
recognized Christians who hold and propa-
gate views not punctiliously in accord with
| the DEGREES of the church. Such man used
to be burned, and not so long ago. either
Now all they do is TO tell them to go
Religion does not suffer from hereticism
| but rather from atheism-a three-quarters
| belief in God. The notion that We have 10

times is for a higher organization of all

caused by dread of dependence on others,
and it may have been that the woman felt
that she could not burden her husband or
such an illness as she dreaded. However
the thing happened, it seems to be clearly
due to incompetence in the doctor.
1t is this sort of thing which drives
some people to Christian Science for re-
lief. Some day We shall have system
under which no physician capable Of max
ing such blunder as this will be allowed
good right to medical attendance in ex-
treme need as the rich. But at present
there are great many doctors who are
more anxious to collect two dollars visit
than to cure their patients; and there are
also. unfortunately, silly persons who
rather enjoy thinking that they are chronic
invalids. Between the two there is consid-
cradle quackery in the world.
One fruitful cause Of illness and also of
the quack doctor is the proclivity which
some people have for making themselves
i'll. There are persons presumably sane
and intelligent who seem to think that the
chief use of a physician is TO protect them
from the consequences of continual viola
tions of sanitary laws. They want to eat
rich food at unreasonable hours and not be-
come dyspeptics. They want to expend their
days and nights basking in the luxurious air
of furnace-heated and little-ventilated
apartment, and escape throat and lung dis
,,,;.x~
else and still be strong and active. They
want, in short, to indulge all sorts of
whims for which nature never provided in
her arrangements, and then take dose of
medicine which will make them into nor
NAL beings. This is magic, and 1t does not
happen in real life. The quack knows this.
and he therefore looks wise and prescribes
medicine, knowing that 1t can do no good,
but may satisfy the patient.
The great trouble with Americans at
present is that they do not live natural,
| wholesome life. There is many a nervous
wreck of a woman who would see the last
of all her polysyllabic diseases if she
would spend six months in the country in
simply made gown, stay out of doors
most of the time, and walk, ride, and 60
boating as much as she possibly could.
| There is many hard-driven man who, if
he would cultivate a fad or two outside
his business, and leave his work at the
office, would find his health improving at
remarkable rate. The system which
drives people into insane asylums and hos
pitals for nervous diseases is all wrong,
and some day it will be universally recog-
nized as not only wrong but silly.

a pigeon Post in New Zealand.
(From the Birmingham post.)

Recent experiments in flying pigeons between
the town of Auckland, North Island New Zea-
land, and Great Barrier Island have resulted in
the successful establishment of pigeon postal
service between those points The government
not seeing its way to make cable communica-
ton with the island (the population even now
scarcely numbering 700 souls, it left to
private enterprise TO establish a speedy and not
expensive means OF communication between Auck-
land and the island at the mouth of the Gulf of
liauraki. The germ OF the solution of the diff
Guilty was found in the use of pigeons to carry
dispatches TO Auckland on the occasion of the
wreck of the Wairarapa, ard accordingly large
number Of birds has been trained for the ser

operation. Each bird carries four pigeongrams -
messages. These written (or typewritten)

century ago Adam Smith noted as a remark
able accomplishment the manufacture OF Il, 100
pins by ten in day. In these times il is
considered an ordinary achievement for three
men TO make 7,500, 900 pins in the same time In
like manner, when merchants began ffty years
ago 10 advertise extensively people considered that
action remarkable exhibition of enterprise. But
the scope and methods of newspaper advertising
have radically changed since then. The needs OF
mankind have increased and become more varied
1t is absolutely necessary, therefore, for the
tradesman TO make constant proclamation of the
fact that he is in position TO supply at least
me of those needs. He uses popular newspaper
for that purpose, with profitable results.

A Homemade Costume.
(From the Detroit Journal)

When the Bright Child drew to the rhi-
noceros in the circus all the world wondered and
listened. agape ''Oh mammal exclaimed the
Bright Child, pausing only 10 choose such words
as would render her thought easily inelfgibe
to the multitude. Look. The rhinoceros makes
her own hide!''
The world laughed AZ this point until it almost
split, there being no doubt that the Bright Child
had reference to the rhinoceros' hide not fitting
very well.

II is to be hoped that President Mckinley will
not extend clemency 10 the TWO American soldiers
found guilty of assaulting Filipino women. Ii
is the understanding in all civilized armies that
such brutes snail die, and there is no occasion for
making an exception to the rule. Words of
pardon are usually heard with qualification. In
this and all like it the public approval goes
with the death penalty.
