IT'S HUMAN NATURE.

"It isn't merely the American that
adores the almighty dollar, says
Mark Twain, "it is the human race.
This is true. The American is accused
with possessing simply cold, COM
mercial spirit, putting everything else
aside for the dollar, but in this he is
no worse that his brother of the
world, though with his push and rest
less energy, he may be somewhat more
successful in his quest for it. Mark
Twain is led to the reflection above
quoted by a question he asks in cur
rent magazine article on docs the
Race of Man Love Lord2o While we
have no titles here, yet abroad we are
accused of the same love for it that
is exhibited there and he says that
this is again thrown up at us, because
of the great welcome given, and the
outpouring OF people who saw Prince
Henry Analysing this charge, Marx
Twain thinks that the reason lord his
loved or envied, is because OF the
power and conspicuousness which IL
position gives him, and that mere IL
America the same admiration is hello
for men who occupy commanding
positions not only on state but in the
Industrial and commercial world. Ii
is the force and power which the mar
commands, which draws the admira'
ton of the public. Of the thousands
who saw Prince Henry while he was
in this country Twain believes that al
but small number were drawn tc
see him, simply out of curiosity
There was no toadyism on their part,
1t was simply his conspicuousnes'
which they envied and which attract
ed them. And in turn he says thai
people without exception love to b
noticed by a lord, or anyone els'
possessed of power and conspicuous

The action of Cecil Rhodes in his
will giving two scholarships to each
state and territory of the United. States
at Oxford University, England, has
caused much surprise. Several scholar
ships were also left to Germany. The
idea of Rhodes was that the leaving
of such scholarships to the United
States, would cause a better under
standing to be brought about between
England and the United States, which
would work for peace between all
English speaking people, and that in
including Germany, the peace of the
world would be better preserved.
This idea has been criticised in some
quarters, but the general idea seems
to be that in time it will bear fruit,
as it will work. great influence
through educational lines.
