"Above all things, do not degenerate
into man." grumbles one of Victor
Hugo's characters to his pet wolf. "For
there is nothing so strange as a man."
adds Carlyle. Now Carlyle was dys-
peptic and Hugo was banished from
home, things not the best to brighten
ones view of life, yet they were not far
wrong in their pessimism. For the re-
cords Of man reveal queer things done
by him In times past. We are wiser
now, perhaps. For instance in Holland
they used to weigh man to determine
whether he was sorcerer or not, the
law fixed the fatal weight, and If he
weighed too little or too much, they
hanged or burned him. Those scales
still stand, but they weigh cheese on
them now. Man thinks himself most
worldly wise, but his wisdom must pro-
woke the laughter OF the gods. In Eng
land long ago judges wise in the law
decreed that II criminal could carry
red hot iron given distance, without
being burned, he was innocent; II he
could not swim when thrown into vat
Of consecrated water, he was guilty; or
II consecrated wafer stuck not in his
throat, he was innocent. In France the
judges made men shoot at each other
and he who got killed was guilty, Of
course. Kings too, dealt out odd justice.
Some peasants presented petition Of
grievances to their sovereign and for
answer two OF them we're changed on a
new gallows forty feet high" To be
happy is the aim OF most men. Simeon
Stylites to be happy hereafter built a
stone pillar sixty feet high, crawled up
on the top and lived thirty years
exposed to wind and weather and dis
ease. But they made him saint and
perhaps It paid. Yet men are not al
ways 30 fortunate. Voltaire, wittiest OF
writer's, also devoted his whole life to
one thing, ridiculing the church, but
died shrieking In agony Of terror at the
vision Of hell, wrecking In moment
the work Of a lifetime. These are the
actions of men, the rulers and fools of
creation, now little below the angels In
wisdom, now sunk to the level of brutes
In their weakness.

1t is easy to be saint when there's
no temptation to be sinner. On the
same principle, it is easy to decry the
reign of lynch law in the South when
we have few instances in the North of
the same conditions. The principle Of
quick revenge may lie dormant, but it
springs with surprising quickness into
fierce flame when the injury strikes
near to our interests. Where was the
good American who, when the report
of the late presidents assassination
spread did not long heartily for Il
chance to take quick justice on the
villain? Towards the close Of this month
Czolgosz will die an almost painless
death. That is justice, but it is not the
will of the people. Few would be sorry
to see him meet the fate of Jczebel,
queen of Israel in biblical times. She
was cast from the window of her palace
to the street below and the dogs OF the
street eat the flesh from her bones.

A few years ago poet lay near

world-the czar of Russia-was also
very i'll, and of the two the people took
the greater interest in, and the papers
devoted the greater space to the reports

idealized and Rudyard Kipling was the

that was several years ago. We change
our ideals with the passing of time and
we wonder what we saw to worship in
the idols of the past. He who could
not see perfection in the works of Kip
ling then was regarded as having little
literary taste. Now the most common
thing in reviews Is roast for the works
of Kipling. Few defend him, many
boldly cay his books are worse in effect
than the ordinary dime novel. The re-
lection Of Kipling is the fate of many
others, more notable in the case of SIM
gle books. Who remembers now the
fascinating "Trilby," or "Ships that
Pass in the Night" both of which had
wonderful popularity. "Davld Har-

In two weeks the great Americas ex-
hibition at Buffalo will close, and with
It's closing pass away forever, for the
original contract calls for the demolition
of all the exposition buildings and the
removal OF debris from the grounds.
With its closing also will come the
counting up of the profits, and Buffalo
it is estimated will be loser by over a
million dollars. But though the exposi-
tion may not have been success finan-
cially, it was more than a success from
other points of view. Those who visit
cd it will long remember the beautiful
city, a sham city built all of plaster and
lath, not so very beautiful at close sight,
but pleasing and majestic looked at as Il
whole. Long will be cherished the
memory of the sights Of the Esplanade
with its ever-moving throngs, especially
at eventide when the people gathered
to await the electric illumination, all
eyes directed towards the tall tower, and

paid by the encampment to the Maine
dead he consented to depart from his rule
on the subject. and spoke briefly Of the
battle ship and the historic disaster at Ha-
vana- The encampment had secured an
excellent model of the Maine and Captain
Sigsbee took advantage Of this to point out
and explain the details Of the vessel and
to illustrate his 81 aphic account Of the
explosion. His narrative Of events before
and after the destruction of the vessel was
most int eresting.
