The Solution,

Here's a state of things! Mrs. Greene
calls upon Mrs. Gray, and before they
have a chance to say anything, in comes.
Mrs. Brown. The problem is as tt the
separation of the ladies. If Mrs
Greene goes, she will leave Mrs. Brown
and Mrs. Gray together to talk about
her. If Mrs. Brown goes, she will be
the subject of Mrs. Gray's and Mrs.
GREEN'S conversation. If her two
visitors go away together, then Mrs.
Gray will be the subject of ~conyersa-
ton between those ladies. There is
only n solution: Mrs. Gray puts on
her things and goes out with her visit

The Evolution Of
the Baby &&&

Author Of The Woman and the Serpent, y Etc.

prets to support the doctrine Of the survival Of the fttest through the
paleohthic age and other ages to the present day.
That a baby is fat, is attributable, SO says this gentleman, to the
fact that the aboriginal baby ancestor had to provide against possible
famine by laying on adpose tissue, like the camel or the harmless, nee
essary hog.
When Baby picks up pebbles, parlor matches and broken glass
and transfers them to his or her rosebud mouth it is because the pihe-
cold progenitor was compelled to rustic for grub" n rather grubs,
in the absence OF its parents. The faculty of distinguishing between a
nice, wholesome, juicy caterpillar and a box of Rough on Rats seems
to have been lost somewhere along the echoing corridors Of Time, but
the instinct to pick up and swallow is there just the same.
Again, our baby is sweet and winning, but that is not because it
is the child of its parents, as we have, perhaps, fondly imagined, but
because the prehistoric pappoose just naturally had to be pretty and
winning, otherwise it could not have moved the invaders of a hostile
tribe to spare its life, or it would have been abandoned by its father
and mother in the insane rush for the cyclone cellar or flight from some
human foe.
Indifference on the part Of the paleocrystc parent to infantle suf-
fering o r need was of course al important factor in the development
of the babys voice. Kindly Nature, with a view to the perpetuahon of
the species, endowed it with such vocal powers that the only choice to
this day lies in killing it oil attending to its wants.

Loss and Gain

have all but crushed the power of open resistance out of the handful
of brave men who fought for liberty. BUT AFTER ALI. THEY
HAVE LOST!
Each step that carried English soldiers across the African plains
to make war upon the ibertyioving burghers broke the fbers, in
visible as air, but strong as steel, that bound the hearts of South Ari-
cans to England. They are broken; they can never be made whole
again; THEY WERE LIVING THINGS, NOW THEY ARE
DEAD.
England has conquered a nation only to lose its own loyal col
onists. The loyal South African is loyal no longer. He bows to Eng
land as the slave bows to the master, not as the child bows to the kind
parent. He will render obedience with his hand, bat his heart rebels.
These loyal subjects of a onetime great and good nation are loyal no
longer.
England has gained the mastery over two little nations that asked
nothing better than to live in peace under the protecting wing of Eng
land. But while she has gained the mastery she has lost the hearts of
her subjects. The hearts lie in burgher graves stretched across the
veldt, AND ENGLAND HAS LOST MORE THAN SHE HAS
WON.
The one long, fearful wall from Canada is for free trade with the
United States, and yet she repulses our very first advance by refusing
to trade fair on the divorce question. She will not permit our legally
broken marriage bonds to cross the international boundary.

BLIND TOMS MEMORY.
Remarkable Faculties Displayed by
the Famous Colored
Pianist.

Atlantic City continues to wonder
over Blind Toms wonderful mem
DRY. The fame of it has gone abroad
In the land, so that not only at some
of his concerts, where an opportunity
has been given, but in the informal
crowds that occasionally gather
around his chair there is a manifest
tendency to test it personally.
Naturally the only subject on which
The casual stranger can verify the ac-
curacy of TOMS memory is that
of previous performances. So the
questions that are asked are all on
that subject, and Toms memoir is
apparently infallible. He has never
yet failed to tell upon what date he
played at a given town; or, if he had
played there several times, he knew
it; and he knew when. After a con-
cert career extending over nearly 10
years, one which has carried him over
all the continent, such a memory
seems almost superhuman.
When one considers further that
this is an absolutely uneducated man,
with an absolutely unframed mem
Dry without any great natural in
telligence, except in his unexplain-
able musical instinct, and that one
cannot call it heredity rising SUI
perior to circumstances, but one cir
cumstance rising superior to hered-
ity, it becomes still more remark
able.
After one of his recent concerts,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, Tom
sat for some time as a target for
questions. They came from all over
the house and Tom answered them
without hesitation, except for a GER
tain hesitancy which evidently be-
longs to his speech rather than to-
his memory. He speaks two or three
words and a pause, two or three
more and another pause-rather au-
tomatically, and never is known to-
fail to tack a civil Sir on to every
one of his replies.
A man from Richmond, Va, asked
Tom When he had given a concert
there. And Tom answered readily
enough: SIN 1865, sir" But in his
next question the man made the mis-
take of saying: "Now, Tom, I'm go
ing to fool you! Where did you play
-explaining to neighbors that he
probably thought he played at a.
theater. whereas he had played in a
church. But Tom was silent as the
grave until his manager said:
"Tom, you know where you played
at Richmond; tell the gentleman"
And Tom promptly answered.: ST
played in the African M. E. church,"
"He did, indeed" said the ques-
toner, "and we were the only two
white people there, I believe"
One of Toms most exciting recent
experiences was his first encounter
in the North American reading room
with a graphophone and a large mu-
steal box known as a regina" The
latter particularly reduced him al
most to a delirium of ecstasy. He
had his chair rolled up close to it, and
insisted upon hearing its entire roper
toire, and astonished his manager and
his audience by giving some selec-
tions from that repertoire in his next
concert. Blind Tom rafting off the
latest popular marches, Blind Tom
playing "Florodora" was a novelty.

Not long ago DR.. Ingram, the new
bishop of London, visited an East
end hospital in the haunts familiar
TO him when he was bishop of Step
ney. In n of the beds was an old
woman to whom the bishop spoke,
and who recognized him. She told
his lordship how glad she was to see
him again, and recalled how he had
danced with her at some entertain
ment which, as a junior clergyman
in an East end parish, he had got up
to break the monotony of his poor
peoples lives. 81 suppose" contin-

Passing Of the Fur
Trader and Trapper
By Lord strathcona and Mount Royal,
Governor of Hudson's Bay Co. in Canada.

The fur trader is passing. He has not passed, as many would have
us believe, nor will he have passed until the day comes when a home
seeking people shall have claimed all the great domain which for cen
turies constituted the home of the wild animal and the wild savage.
Until that time the fur trader will continue his peculiar methods of mer-
Ihandizing and civilization.
And what has the fur trader done for humanity?
He has done many things, but chief OF them all was the civilzing
influences he threw about the Indian. He taught the Indian the best
of the white mans ways and but few, if any, of the white mans vices.
HE TAUGHT THE INDIAN HONESTY. Wherever the Indian
has been brought into contact with the fur trader only, there you will
find an honest Indian. In all the great northwest country, SO long the
domain OF the fur trader, such a thing as locks were unknown and UNI
thought of until other men had followed him into the country. During
the old days the cache was as safe as though it had been a hardened
steel vault with time lock.
But the fur trader is passing. His province to-day is the far north,
