In the Fashion.

Women, said a cynical old
traveller, are very much alike all
over the world. They will endure
anything in order to be in the
fashion. The lady of civilization
pinches her waist, and suffers
agonies by wearing tight boots.
The Carib woman bores a hole in
her lower lip, and thrusts through
it a piece of polished bone. At
first sight, you might suppose she
was the victim of some barbarous
form of torture; but it is only the
Carib equivalent of the civilized
brooch or earring.
The severest form of mutila-
ton. however, is that practiced
by the women of some of the tribes
of the interior of Africa. They
bore great holes in their ears nose,
and lips in which they thrust heavy
ornaments-or what they call or
naments-of bone, stone, wood or
metal. The women of one tribe
Guido even these, for they puncture
their faces with scores of holes, IN
each of which they thrust a straw,
and bristle like porcupines.
The Philippine women wear
painfully tight fiber bands on their
arms, squeezing them out of their
natural shape. The swellings that
result are supposed to the very
charming. The Maori girls OF
New Zealand go through an agoniz-
ing process of chin tattoing wher
they arrive at manageable age

Col. Lott Goes to st. Louis.

President Uriah Lott of the St.
Louis. Brownsville s. Mexico rail-
road left today en- route to San An
tonic, going by the Lott limited to
Robstown. After a few days in
San Antonio, he will go OH to St.
Louis, where matters of importance
connected with the great project
which he is directing will occupy
him. While the colonel will nat
urally see something of the fair, he
remarked to a reporter before leav-
ing that it is strictly business that
takes him to St. Louis, and the
fair is not by any means the at
traction. He will probably return
to Brownsville in about two weeks,
and stated that on his return he
expects to see some definite ar
rangements made to care of the
folks who will come to Brownsville
on the first passenger train over the
Lott road.

To-day was it borne in upon me with

great, perhaps the most important, line
Of cleavage in mankind is that which dl-

which Grecian culture was wanting. But
Judaism at home was in it's own peculiar
way suffering from disease not alto
gether unlike that of the Greek world.
Its primitive prophetic simplicity, which
had co-operated with the elemental forces
of character, had to submit to compro-
mise and dilution with non-prophetic ele-
ments which, with the fatality OF dis
ease-germ, evoked complex casuistry,
a vain and quibbling subtlety-the same
old canker of intellectualism, though in a
different form.
The Jewish outlook., 1904-09-16

When culture reaches a certain height
it may be considered ripe; when it goes
bevond it is overripe The cultivation

Justice, independence, manliness-both
in rule and obedence-in brief the ele-
mental virtues springing from the Will,
the character, are weakened and replaced
by subtlety, acumen, refinement, crltl-
cism and ultimately cynicism. When
things reach such a pass they cannot go
on much longer. They tend to dlslnteg-
ration. The structure of society cannot
be built on intellectualism. The attempts
to prop up the tottering edlfice are
doomed to futility because OF failure
to appreciate the essential nature OF the
trouble. In such times individuals have
been known to seek refuge in other re-
ligions; especially in antiquity when re-
lioion' had a larger connOtation than at
present and corresponded to our 'clvl-

was revelation, in the orthodox sense OF
the term. But then development were as

nolentes volentes, the evidence OF those
naughty orthodox claims is daily becom-

truth in history, in experience, in science,
religion is growth, even as science and
art are; nay, as are the trees, the rocks,
the solar system, out of primitive chaos.
He who planted the love of sweet melody
in the heart of man, there to grow
through countless ages, and eventually
to ripen into the glories of Handel's Mes

He who has planted the seeds OF curlos-
ity into the breast of the lowest savage,
dcstining it to develop into that Overmas-
terng craving for ever grander and
deeper knowledge, of which our Observa-
tories, laboratories, libraries are the 81
lent witnesses He also has planted in
man the seeds of fear, and love, and hope,
and unique sensitiveness, which, when
developed, become the loveliest, the fra
