NOT PARALLEL CASES

According to a London dispatch the
British public finds consolation In the

But il is hard TO see parallel IN the
two cases.

the philippines the problem Is to extir-

and n the reports are reliable, much
has already been accomplished in this
direction. Ii cannot be reasonably eN-
pected that perfect order should be re-
stored in a year or two. American sen-

progress already made. There is no

THE CENTURY HOROSCOPE.

Although very few people In this en-
lightened age believe IN aslrology. as-
trologers are stnl amusing themselves
boy setting horoscopes, and noted Bos-
toniau has now made a forecast for the
twentieth century According 90 him
Mercury rules the home Of the United
States and its dominant position over
Mars IS said to show that our country
WIN rule the entire North and South
America. but not without lighting For
In the planets Il Is written that we VIII
have wars with both Germany and
England As Uranus. however, The star
of Russia, stands In certain position
to Mercury coalition between the
United states and Russia Is among the
possibilities.
The spread Of education, commerce,
aerial and submarine navigation, and
the increase Of mechanical invention are
predicted on account OF the position Of
Mercury In relation 10 the other planets.
Another feature Of the century is said
to be the increase Of single blessedness.
This. we are told. is indicated by the
conjunction Of Venus with the moon
in Mars second home Of scorpIo.' But
with this exception the outlook Is hope
ful. In the language Of the prognosllca-
tor. "sagittarlus rules the eleventh
house. the house Of hopes, ambitions
and OF congresses, parliaments, etc.
Jupiter It's ruler applying TO conjunc-
ton OF the sun, and the moon IN con-
junction with Venus in the ninth are
both grand testimonies Of an optimistic
world outlook for the twentieth cen
fury" AS a consequence, governments
VIII yield popular measures to the peo-
pie. religious creeds win come nearer to
the point Of popular understanding
and blgotry win decline.
All this Is satisfactory as far as It
goes, but one would think a common
observer OF terrestrial affairs would
have been able TO make as daring pre-
dctlons as these are. II the book Of the
stars does not contain anything Of a
more detailed information as 70 the fu-
ture. It's mysteries are not worth while
mastering. Some years ago ostrologers
made startling assertions concerning the
end OF the world and the calamiues that
were to visit the human race but their
reputation as prophets was not estab-
llshed by the events, stll. prejudices
die hard, even among people with edu-
cation.
Il is natural that the children OF men
should desire TO look into the future as
far as human conditions permit. For
that reason they have been given the
more sure word Of prophecy" What
can be learned Of the future Is fore
shadowed there. Anything beyond that
which Is given In this way, by the di-
vine Spirit. Is idle speculation He who
win study the revealed word OF God ana
observe closely the current OF events,
and live 80 as to be IN touch with the
divine Ruler Of the universe, has clear
enough understanding Of the future to
enable him 10 walk in faith and TO reach
exaltauon. Prophecies for any other
purpose are not from the right source
