The unexpected has happened. TO the
confusion of the prophet England is end
ing the war with a gain of prestige. Four
months ago such an outcome seemed i'm
possible. although IL was admitted that
England would win In the end. The trans

that army has been handled since Lord

front constitute a national vigor which
has smoothed every grin off the face OF
Europe. The British lion never looked

reasons, which | shall not here dis

and careful experiment, how vast
service that animal might have done
to mankind as a domestic species.
The force of this will be more ap-
parent If we recollect how much the
few well-known domestic species
have done for the advancement of
our race. Who can decide which has
done more for mankind, the cow or
the steam engine, the horse or cleo
tricity. the sheep or the printing
press, the dog or the rife, the ass or
the loom? No one, indeed, can pro-
nounce on these. yet all on reflection
feel that there is reason in the COM

and we are put back century, or per-
haps two; but further, take away the
domestic animals. and we are re-
duced to absolute savagery, for it was
they who first made It possible for our
aboriginal forefathers to settle in one
place and learn the rudiments of civil
ization.
And it is quite possible. though, of
course. not demonstrable, that the

a larger benefactor of our race than
any mechanical invention in our pos
session. for there is no inhabited

barn fowl is not a mainstay of health.

Limitations of Wealth.

not sufficient to pay it's running ex-

The announcement conveys a pain.
full revelation of the sad condition Of
millionaire existence. The outside
world, wanting in wealth, is prone to
consider riches as the source and sum
of all happiness, especially of the en-
joyment of the good things of life. 1t
pictures the fortunate millionaire in
an ideal existence of Capuan luxury
and Sybaritic indulgence.
The melancholy truth is that the
average millionaire has a disordered
stomach, a torpid liver, or a weak
heart, and does not enjoy the society
of his fellow plutocrats. Instead of
feasting like Sardanapalus, he care

champagne would proDaOly separate
him and his millions forever. He is

box close at hand, hot-water bag at
his feet and flannel nightcap on his
bald head.

York may earn from $12 to $40 a
