When the war lord of Germany re-
marks that II certain transactions
with America do not end as he wishes
he'll proceed to 'smash things one
has visions of flying bullets aud the
rattling Of the sabre. But Kaiser Will
helm has habit of sending chills down
his neighbors' backs just for the glory
OF notoriety, and since his accession in
1890 he has managed to attract more at
tention to himself than all the other
rulers of Europe combined. He talks of
war as though it were the harmless play
of children and on one occasion gave ex-
preston to such barbarous sentiments
of revenge and cruelty as to belle the
civilization he processes. There is in
him much of the spirit that made Alex
ander weep for more worlds to conquer:
that made Caesar shed tears that he
had done so little to perpetuate his
fame: that impelled the valorous Ak
bah, Mohammedan captain of the hosts
of God to spur his horse knee deep in
the ocean and with waving sword
lament to the Almighty that there
were no more countries to subdue. 1t
is the spirit of bravado that men fool
ishly admire and history immortalizes.
War is the realistic reproduction OF
Inferno, but so fascinating is the play
of the demons that it is the surest road
TO eternal fame in the records of men,
So it is not surprising that a prince
who ever seeks notoriaty should indulge
in such barbarous sentiments as Kaiser
Wilhelm has been guilty of during hi:
reign.

Perhaps the most romantic OF modern
adventures was the project of NJ. An
dree TO sail thousands Of miles In a bal
loon and cross the North Pole. He
started on his trip, but has never been
heard of since, and the end of all his
planning was probably a lonely death
in the dreary land OF the north. But
the curiosity of man knows no such
word as failure, neither considers death
as worthy Of heed. At the pole, in
every possibility, is land covered with
hostile ice, or at best only sea inhabi-
ted by few walrus and seal, yet there
are In the polar regions at present no
less than four exploring expeditions,
each fitted out at a cost Of several hun
dred thousand dollars, and two more
will start next summer. In front of all
these hardy adventurers is the faint
hope of seeing what no man has ever
seen before-a land undiscovered-and
the far likelier possibility of meeting
the grim king of terrors-death-in the
hostile ice.

In England, but thirty years ago,
women were used in the mines instead
OF mules to draw the coal cars under
ground. Worse, they were made to go
where mules could not go. On hands
and knees, naked but for rough sack
cloth trousers, with leather collar aud
chain attached they drew heavy cars of
coal to the mouth of the mine, and
many of them seldom saw the light Of
day, eating, sleeping and spending all
OF life with no other surroundings than
the hideous darkness of mine forty,
sixty and even one hundred feet be-
meath the surface OF the earth. So
tenacious was this practice that legisla-
tive enactment was necessary to stop 1t.
And this but thirty years ago. In
France not much farther back than the
time of our own civil war, it was
thought just to a certain class OF crimi-
mails, not the worst either, TO put them
In marrow stone dungeon, with iron
collar around their neck, chain at
tached to this collar fast to the ceiling
so that they could not sit down, and
iron bracelets on their arms. In this
cruel position they were forced to stand
for months, often ankle deep in mud
and mire and filth, for these cells were
seldom cleaned out. Their food. scanty
and unclean, was cast to them, often
mingled with the filth of their dun
geon. This is horrible, and yet it is the
civilization OF but thirty years ago, ol
nations, too, extolling the sweet purity
and love OF the Man of Galilee.
