Gutenberg. Achievement.

In The Century Augustine Birrell
thus characterizes Gutenberg's epoch
making inventions:
The invention of movable types was
the greatest distributive invention that
ever was or probably ever can be made.
1t circulated knowledge among the
children of men and plays much the
same part in human life as does the
transmission of force in the world of
physics. 1t was marvellous how quick,
ly thought was circulated even in the
age of manuscripts. A book like st.
Augustine's "City of God" was soon
copied thousands of times and trav.
eled all through Europe after quicker
fashion than most printed books can
today reasonably hope to do, but St
Augustine occupied unique position,
and hand copying. though great
trade, employing thousands of scribes,
could never have fed the new learning
or kept alive the reformation. The
age of Gutenberg was an age of ideas
and demanded books, just as our day is
a day of mechanics and demands cheap
motion, telegraphy and telephones. Gu.

by tablet. Go and gaze upon it and
think of the New York Herald, the

The ancient order of life is always
an interesting study. 1t is astonishing
to find not only crickets and beetles
existing at periods enormously earlier
than the appearance of birds or fishes,
but that they are conformed in type to
the families in which they are classed
today.
Though they become fewer and fewer
as they are tracked back up the river
of time, there are not found in the
earliest fossil bearing rocks any con-
Meeting links or earlier and simpler
forms of insect life or a clew to the
common ancestor of insects, spiders
and shrimps which naturalists would
dearly like to discover. There is a baf-
fling completeness about these crea
lures. The first insect known to have
existed, a creature of such vast antiq-
uity that it deserves all the respect
which the parvenu man can summon
and offer to it, was a-cockroach. This,
the father of all black beetles, prob
ably walked the earth in solitary mag
nificence when not only kitchens but
even kitchen maidens were undreamed
of. possibly millions of years before
neolithic man had even back cave

Grnsp1ng Mt a Sunbeam.

It's common enough thing for chill
dren to try to pick up sunbeams, but
the earnestness with which this at
tempt was made by small boy in an
elevated car attracted the attention of
the other passengers.
He was very small boy, not more
than 21a years old and still in dresses.
The seats in the car were all taken,
and the small boy stood up with his
mother.
There came into the car over one of
the blinds slender sunbeam, which
fell diagonally downward across the
little fellows dress, and when his eye
fell upon this he reached down and
carefully closed his hand over it and
then raised his hand to his face and
opened his fingers. But there wasn't
any sunbeam there.
The passengers who saw this were
as much interested in it all, in their
way, as the small boy was in his, and
presently they saw him try it again
Looking down, he saw the sunbeam
still there, just where it had been be-
fore when he had tried to grasp it, and
he made that effort again.
Reaching down, he closed his fingers
around it once more, and once more he
raised his hand and opened it and look
ed inside for the sunbeam, once more
to find-nothing there.
Then taller buildings cut off the ray,
and the small boys mind was diverted
into some other channel.-New York

Pass and the Thrush

Our pussy is very naughty some
times, and little while ago she found
thrush's nest and got up close to i,
and frightened the poor mother bird
dreadfully. Luckily, she couldn't quite
reach the nest. But since then the
birds are afraid of her, and now that
they have some young ones it is quite
funny to watch them.
AS soon as pussy appears in the gar.
den they fly round and round about
her, making such noise, and the other
day when we were watching we saw
them both come back, each carrying a
worm, and they dropped them down
right in front of pussy, evidently with
the idea that she would like them. But
she wasn't bit grateful and only
walked on, holding her head a little
higher than usual.

and Tulifinny rivers at daylight. At
the same time Colonel w. B. Barton,
with the Forty eighth New York regi-
ment alone, sailed up the Coosawhatch-
lie river to a point fifteen miles south Of
Brannan's landing place.
Both the Brannan and Barton col
umns were to strike the bridges where
the Charleston and Savannah railway
crosses the Pocotaligo and Coosa-
whatchie rivers. With the bridges and

Brannan's column advanced rapidly
toward the Pocotaligo bridge, intend
ing to surprise its guards, but at the
send of a five mile march the van
guard ran into a Confederate battery
on a lone plantation by the roadside.
The Confederate commander at POGO
taligo had early warning of the land
ing of the Federals, and being i'll touch
by telegraph with his attachments
scattered all through the region he was
prepared to dispute the invading foe.
Brannan brought up his own artillery
and quickly brushed away the battery,
but the ConfeGerates in retreating de-
stroyed the bridges over the swamps
behind them.

bridges and the column moved ON a

WHEN PERIL COMES.
Sudden and Extreme Danger thl
Test of True Courage.

Test of True Courage.
1t is when the unexpected happens
that fatalism proves how fragile prop
it is, after all, for human courage The
soldier or The sailor can say to himself
when he knows that he must take a
supreme risk in battle or in a storm:
81 am powerless against the fate Which
was decreed for me from the beginning
of the world. If my time has come,
cannot help it; if not, all the forces of
earth and sky and ocean cannot prevail
70 harm me-" But when w&hout an in.
stant's warning a rock crashes through
q ships bottom and the waters rush
into the gap, when confusion seizes the
entire company aboard. when the fog is
too thick for the captain to be seen or
the roar of the sea browns the sound Of
his orders a new test is applied. Then
it is that the courage which rests on
nothing firmer than negation gives
way, and in his greed to save his own
life the stole becomes as mailman.
There have been steamship disasters
In which men of humble station. of all
colors and faiths, have shown the finest
quality of heroism, and there have been
those in which the common sailors, all
whites and Europeans. have earned
eternal disgrace by their cowardlce.
The point we are making is not that it
is possible to draw hard and fast line
between one religion and another or
one race and another in the matter of
bravery, but that the affirmative sense
of responsibility for ones own acts, Of
the difference between right and wrong,
between nobility and ignominy and of
the grandeur of duty well done at the
sacrifice of self, is far surer depend
ence in the presence Of sudden peril
than all the stoical philosophers ever
worked out by the mind of man.
