Pertinent Paragraphs.

From the Kansas Popuist
The earth ought not to be private property
any more than the air. Every man should
have what he needs to use-and then there will
be more than enough for all.
Unless the taxpayers of city have money
to throw at the birds, it will pay them to see
that to it that the city does its own work, in
stead of putting it out on contract.
1t seems to work we'll to have the streets be-
long 70 the whole people. It might be an i'm
provelnent over present conditions if the land
beside them we're owned in the same way.
Under public ownership, city water-works
are 1un TO furnish the people with water. Un-
der r vate ownership, they are run to make
profit for their owners. In which way is it
likely the p ope will, be the best served?
The acme of human ambition, so far as man
kind in general is concerned, is to get people
unuer your thumb and make them feed and
clo'he and house you. Slavery in essence,
whatever it be in name.
If we could always be our best and happiest
selves, what wonderful world this would be!
Still, it is probably better as it is. If there

were no evil, we should be unable to appreciate
goodness; and if we never did wrong, theie
would be no praise for doing good, and no glory
IN character.
Now it is the Indian affairs department at
Washington which is said to be full of rotten
ness, and to match the postoffice bureau in cor
ruption. Everywhere. dirt and dishonesty is
throw stones at any party, however. The
slime of the boodler is over them all. 1t is too
much the habit for the honest men of the
country to leave the business of government to
the fellows who can make the most money out
of it; and it is plainly evident that the man
who proposes to steal $4,000 while in Office
will be good deal more anxious to get in than
the one who expects to stay honest and be con-
tented with 5000 salary. We offer too
much temptation to the boodlers by letting
them have things their own way in Office.
The proposition to elect United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people is one that
ought to find favor with every man who has
ever been member of state Legislature. The
time such men have to devote to their legiti-
mate duties as lawmakers is all too brief at
best and when several weeks have to be taken
out of that to weigh the claims and qualifca
tions of the aspirants for senatorship and

listen to their partisans, it is unjust, both to
the people and the Legislators. The more of

people, the more democratic and progressive

his equals as men. But such
a rejoinder might be regarded
as violating the canon of taste
implied in the scriptural text
against answering a.fool accord
ing to his folly.
In truth, the efforts of such
intellectual cyclists to sheer
down the fact that men are
incurably religious must excite
pity rather than resentment.
From the heights of his intel
lectual self-conceit Felix Adler
may scott at, as childish, the
prayers of men who try to walk
humbly before their God. But,
who cares what he thinks or
says?
So long as the world weary
man goes home from his failure
to be cheered by his wife, so
long as the care-worn woman
creeps into her husbands arms
for comfort, so long as the hurt
child runs sobbing to mother
and father for safety and sym
pathy, so long will men take
refuge with God from their trials
and Affections, and seek from
him the wisdom and strength
they cannot find in themselves.
The broken man knows that
his wife cannot directly turn his
failure into success, the suffer
ing woman knows that her
husband cannot directly relieve
her pain; yet, as they go to each
other for comfort, as the child
goes blindly to it's father and
mother, so erring, fallen and
sinful men and women, though
knowing that he will not directly
help them, go as little children
to their God, and there find con-
ISOLATION and hope.
However repugnant the pride
Of intellect may find the finite
human appeal to infinite power
and wisdom, it will still be made.
In all ages intellect has pointed
out the baselessness of faith,
and yet faith persists. And so
long as men are men, just be-
cause God is God will men con-
tinue to pray.

His Time was Not Tn.

A man of a met cenary spirit had
several sons, one Of whom was on the
V Of his twenty-first birthday. The
father had always been a strict disciple
marian, keeping his boys we'll under pa
rental charge, allowing them few liber
ties and making them work hard.
1t was with a feeling of considerable
satisfaction that the young man rose
on the morning Of his birthday and be.
gan to collect his personal belongings
preparatory to starting out in the
world.
The farmer, seeing his son packing
his trunk, which he rightly judged to
be evidence of the early loss Of a good
farm hand, stopped at the door Of the
young mans room and asked what be
was going to do.

Value of Light.

An English physician of high stand
ing recently made an address before
the Manchester and Stafford Sanitary
association in which he said:
II have spoken Of light as purifying
our atmospheric environment and as
freeing us from certain superficial
parasitic distemperS, and 1 wish to re-
mind you that 1t has still more deep
and intimate human relations Of a
sanitary nature, for light is a necessary
condition Of mental and bodily well
being. Its tonic physical effects are
everywhere recognized.
Essential for all purposes Of life.
light is a universal stimulus. Falling
on the eye it sets up in the brain func-
tional activities associated with intel
lectual and emotional states, and at
tempts have been made to discriminate
the physical effects Of its different ele-
ments. Whatever the therapeutic
value of the different rays of light
may be, white light, heavens own mix
ture, is the normal physical atmos-
phere, and variations in its intensity
have probably widely diffused consti-
tutional effects"

Two conyicts were executed at the
Ichigaya prison in Japan, and one Of
them as he assembled the guillotine re-
marked that he had built it himself

man who took his dog to the river to
drown it in order to save the expense
OF a license, but slipped and was
drowned himself. while the dog re-
turned home.

A VIII and Three weddfn9s,

In Warsaw a banker died and left his
entire fortune to whichever Of his
three nieces-daughters Of three differ
ent brothers and sisters-married first.
The parties interested in this provision
were present when the will was read,
and all Of them took immediate steps
to secure the prize. BY procuring spe-
cial licenses and taking other unusual
measures it was found that the earliest
possible time for a wedding to take
place was ut 8 o'clock on the morning
OF the tenth day after the will had
been read. Before noon on that day all
three nieces appeared at the notary's
office with certificates showing that
they had all become wives between 8
n S:15 O'Clock that morning, though
not one Of them had even been engaged
when the will was read. All three
claimed the fortune, and the courts
solved the difficulty by dividing it into
equal parts.

The Sand Fly Lives hut q Day After
Coming Into the Light.
Here is the tragic story Of the sane
fly:
1t has b9e a day to live in the light.
In order to earn the right to that day
of life it lives from n to three years
in darkness. down in the mud at the
bottom Of lakes or rivers. Moreover,
the sand fly is perfectly harmless. IT
does not bite. 1t has nc sting. 1t can
not even eat. All it can do Is to hit
about for a few hours, enjoying the
light of day or the glare Of an electric
lamp.
The sand fly Is known to scientists
Familiarity as the May fly. In scientific
terms it is called ~ephemerida. This
name is taken from the Greek word
ephemeros, which means lasting only
for a day. To the scientists the sand
fly is one Of the most interesting and
beautiful of insects.
The fly lives but a day at most, but
before it sees the light it has lived for
ITOIu oIle ~ tHIee years uLueA 'ho wa
ter in the form Of what the scientists
call a nymph. This nymph can both
walk and swim. AS it grows it molts,
and after about the ninth mott tiny
wings appear on its thorax. These
grow larger until the insect comes forth
from the water a sand fly. 1t then has
but one duty-to lay its eggs. This
done. the sand fly zigzags through the
air until its brief life is ended.-Chlcago
