Triumphs of 1902.

Seldom If ever in any one year of the
history of the world have so many im-
portant events of universal interest talk
en- place. America, England, Germany
and France have each participated. The
President of the United States welcomed
and entertained II. r. II. Prince Henry
of Prussia at the White House, Edward
the VIII. was crowned King of England
and Emperor of India, the German EN-
peror had his American built yacht,
Meteor" christened; France had the
unvei1ing of the Rochambeau Statue.
and at all functions attending these
celebrations Moet 81 Chandon's Cham
payne was used exclusively. This in
deed is an unparalleled record, which is
proof positive of the superiority and
popularity of the renowned brand of

EVOLUTION And RELIGION.
By THEODORE BRYANT KGNasBURY.

Some years ago, much to my satisfac-
ton, ! took q course of reading in OAR
wins accepted theory of evolution. and
have not given since any adherence to
such a baseless conception. In fact 1
had never accepted the Darwin prm-
ordeal absurdity. and reading but con-
trmed my previous conviction Nature
never yet produced miracle. The prim-
ordeal alone belongs to God. Prof Tyn-
dali, one of the four greatest opponents
OF evolution-Darwin, Huxley, Tyndall
and Haeckel-in an address at Belfast
many years ago, accepted "the primol-
deal of Darwin and yet in later years,
in his fragments of Science he said:
Having adopted the nebula theory, | am
bound to show that living things origi-
mated without the existence of antece-
dent life" But he nor any other man
ever proved that. Prof. Tyndall really
threw up the sponge" when he declared
in the same work, that "all observation
in proof of this has failed, and all ex-
pertinent in it's defence has utterly broken
down." Prof. Huxley, a man of dis
tinguished powers, said in a lecture de-
lvered in New York some twenty five
years ago, that imam came into exis-
account in Genesis or upon the hypo-
thesis of evolution" This was a mere
supposition, for he left it where he
found ii in the brains of Darwin 81 Co.
Later he publicly abandoned the goddess
myth of evolution as untenable, as wholly
unable to account for the origin of man
and the worlds resulting multitudinous
inhabitants. Even Prof Haeckel re-
of Ihn1-
winians, in his History of Creation"
has this plain statement Though
spontaneous generation is a pure hypo-
thesis mark that-"never having been
observed or proved by experiment.
which is a clear abandoning of the fool
ish theory-"yet it is essential to the
non miraculous origin of living things.
Ii has not been "proved" and still 'it
is essential" Bah! He admits that
evolution is unsustained by evidence-a
simple hypothesis something assumed
for the sake of argument-a mere pygmy
of the BRAIN. say l, and there
fore is not worthy of credence
being wholly according to him,
unsustained by evidence. That is more
than enough to refute the dreams and
wild theorists Laplace's nebula theory
is a fraud and unfounded in fact. 1t is
sceptical materialism run mad. Hum
boldt says the theory as presented by
its founder is free from all processes
of demonstration
There have been and are many educated
people who rejoice in the man monkey
theory with its great monkey power
that they are descended from gorilla or
chimpanzee or the familiar monkey OF
the shows. But there are others who
reject with great disgust such primo
genitor.

her great parts the boquets of flowers

she was superior, and wrote more inter-

The Problem solved.

When the man with the penchant for
mathematics boarded a Twenty third
street cross town car, he was inclined to
be controversial. He had something
on his mind, and he wanted to unbur-
den himself
"If man Is ON a car going north or
south and ne strikes sudden curve
going east or west, which way does he
goT' he asked.
The men on the back platform to
whom the question was addressed
didn't want to commit themselves. One
little dried up man who had charge of
a laundry basket full of clothes sug-
gested that the passenger would go
northeast or southwest.
'"Thats because you don't know any
thing about tangents," interrupted the
mathematician Now, If man is on
a car going east or west and he strikes
a curve going north on south. or vice
versa
Just then the cross town car gave q
sudden Jerk and swept out of the tracks
of the Lexington avenue line near
bumped against the conductor, carom-
ed off the rear railing and landed in
the basket OF clothes. When he was
assisted to his feet, he said with the
air of man who suffered to make a
discovery for science:

the points Of the compass,"-New York

No Gen.leman Is 1mpoIite.

1t is good thing to remember In
these days of hurry and hustle, of com
petition and business excitement, that
politeness, which costs nothing, may
often result In substantial benefits. IT
never pays to be rude, no matter
whether the rudeness Is to man OF
influence or TO u pauper. In the one
case the rudeness may be followed by
unpleasant material consequences; in
the other one must feel loss of self
respect. and self respect is valuable
asset
There are plenty of opportunities for
politeness in this whirling city of af
fairs. In the street car, at the theater.
in crowded Office buildings, In the
streets themselves, you demonstrate
several times day whether you are
a gentleman or boor. And 1t is quite
beside the mark to say that one has
no time to bow and scrape to do this
little thing and that little thing. One
always has time or ought always to
have time for at least a pleasant look.
kindly word, friendly action. No
gentleman ever forgets his good man
