UnceasinE STRUGGLES which End In
survival of Fittest.
We read the tablets Of long ago
which the geologist has deciphered for
us, and we find them an endless story
OF battles. The successful species
which occupy the great geological
horizons have come out of great trlbu-
latlon. The trilobltes and stone lilies
OF the silurian period, the gigantic club
moss and fiuted slgillarians of the coal
age. the enormous ammonites Of the
jurasslc and chalk epochs, the mighty
elephants and majestic deer forms of
the tertiary era are magnates of the
times and masterpieces Of the struggle.
They have been redeemed at great
price. even OF a thousand species and
tens OF thousands Of individuals who
fell short OF the typical fitness and
were killed out. These magnates. each
in it's turn, were pioneers of progress,
like the scouts of a great army and
were caught In a physiological am
bush.
The pedigree Of the horse In the most
recent past has been made out, traced
shall we say. for a hundred thousand
years before man came on the scene
(for Lord Kelvin asked the geologist
to hurry up and not be too lavish with
time or we should have said 100000
years before NAM. The 6eetness, grace
dnd strength Of the horse are owing to
his ability to walk on one toe. to which
have been correlated the wonderful
instincts by which he has become the
partner of man In his Industries and
struggles. He has been derived In
almost a strict gradation from the two
toed, three toed, four toed and FIVE
tOed ancestors which 1ourishcd In the
ages which preceded man. My-ads OF
individuals and an the species and
varieties died out to make room for the
one tOed selection to enable this favor
ite to occupy the ground unthwarted
by crossing or by recurrence to average
forms. He was redeemed at a great
price and has come through a great
tribulatIon. on.-Contemporary Review.

then to rush for the fence and consume

A CLEANLY AGE.
Twentieth Century Ideas Incline To-
ward Sanitation and PreVentatives.

Nowadays scientists believe that in
cleanliness lies the secret Of prevention
OF diseases.
To prevent a disease, remove the
cause.
Just as unclean habits breed many
diseases, so careless habits will breed
dandruf. Improper use of anotber's
brushes. combs, etc., will surely cause
dandruff. and,in time, will just as surely
cause badness.
It's microbic infection, nothing more
nor less.
Newbro's Herpicide kills the dandruff
germ, and causes hair to grow luxuri-
antly. Herpicide is absolutely free from
grease or other injurious substances.

FROMI ~,
WAR IN CHINA
Japanese Who Went Back To
the Orient Seeking Ha-
wall Again.

Former Japanese residents of Homo
lulu and Of the Hawaiian Islands in
general are expected to return from
the Orient by dozens. 1t is anticipated
that great numbers will arrive on the
next steamer and return to their vo-
cations which were disturbed when the
Boxer trouble broke out in China. The
cause of the interruption in their work
here was caused by orders from the
military department calling upon them
to return to their native land and
serve their country's cause in China.
Trained to obey orders of this kind,
the Japanese soldiers in Hawaii drop
ped their various classes OF labor and
fastened to Japan as fast as the
steamers could plough their way
across the Pacific. Letters received
from numbers Of these conscripts state
that they have served in the Japanese
armies in the advance upon Picking
and performed garrison duty in many
cities in the Chinese Empire and were
about to be discharged from further
service. As soon as they could pro-
cure their discharges they stated they
intended returning Immediately to
Hawaii, where more money and more
satisfactory living were to be OBJ
tanned than In their own country.
