RHEUMATISM IN ELBOWS, WRISTS

Last winter had a severe attack of
elbow, and from there to my wrists: the
right wrist was the worse. 1t became
swollen and extremely painful. My left
tackled. It became swollen and OF course
painful. The next point to be affected

that the Creator can make life At for any
environment.
We are. perhaps. too much inclined to in
sist upon terrestrial standards and anal
ogies in dealing with the problem of life
In other worlds. Because We find that
the substance of Jupiter. bulk for bulk,
weighs only one-quarter as much as the
substance of the earth, while at the same
time he exceeds the earth in size 1.SOo
times we hasten to conclude that he is only
a world composed Of vapors. That sup
position fits in very well with the theory
of the evolution of the solar system from
a nebula. but after all We do not know
that it is correct. Things may be consist
ent with theory without being true.
Coming to the real gist OF the matter,
what do we know about the principle Of
life even on our own globe? We know
that certain substances combined In GER
tain proportions compose our bodies. and
that certain physical conditions are es-
sential for their preservation.
Yet, though the physical conditions, may
be never so favorable, a time comes when
the body will no longer retain its consti-
tuition and life ceases. On this planet,
then. life is manifested through chemical
combinations and physical states growing
out of and suited to their general envi-
ronment.
On another planet the environment Is
different, though the elements Of matter
are similar. and 1t is only logical to sup
pose that amid a different environment
the mysterious principle of life may mani
fest itself through chemical combinations

long before daybreak. I saw the glare Of
the huge planet through the trees. His
dazzling light ~overpowered the neighhor-
ing stars of Pisces. Selling a binocular. I
caught sight of his faithful satellites at
tending him like bees circling about a hive.
During the ummer and autumn he will
rise earlier and beam more gloriously
every night. but the first sight of him IS
always the most impressive. like the trav-
eler's first glimpse of the Alps.
The insistent question always arises In
looking at Jupiter: Must not that world
be packed with life. like a great transat-
iantic liner which one passes at sea, too
far off for its inmates to be discerned. but
too Enthusiastically under intelligent control
to be supposed a drifting hulk
And. Notwithstanding what l know that

condition of Jupiter, / am always tempted
TO reply: Yes. it must be 4 living world;
it must be crowded with intelligent crea-
lures. differing from us as much in the
perfection of their intellectual powers as in
the stranseness of their physical forms"
Yet the arguments against the habitual-
ity of Jupiter at the present time seem
very strong. Against them enc can only
place an instructive conviction that so

St. Louis is dotted and spotted with sets" There
are half a dozen social sets, each of which strives
strenuously for the supremacy; and beneath this heaving
upper crust of society we have many underlying sets.
down to the gaudily bebadged picnic association of the
Fourth Ward.
There is. on the foam crest, the old French family
set. This element IS mighty in St. Louis. The city is
named for a Frenchman; it was settled by the French;
and, though Bonaparte parted with the trading post
and It's environs for a few %farthings 10l years ago, the
French still govern st. Louis in a certain sense. AS a
matter of coures. all these French people are thoroughly
American and decidedly Missourian; but their Gallo
names survive and are potential in social life. These
names have been given to the streets. to the sections.
such as Cabanne and Carondelet. and-to the cemeteries.
The possession of the name and blood of one of the
old French families is n sufficient passport into the most
nearly exclusive social set in St Louis. Riches are not
required-merely blood. If So-and-So is descended from
monsieur or madame. he or she is eligible. The old
French blood is such a potential factor that a marriage
with one through whose veins il runs is an introduction
into the set. though the marrying outsider have no ante
cedent claim upon such recognition. Blood in st. Louis
if it be French, however thinly diluted-is thicker than
water.

THE STUDY OF A

What does man know of himself? What is
sciences belief as to his origin and development:
What is known OF the race and their history? What
are the distinctive characteristics Of the races? In
10 what classiications are the nations placed? What
were the beginnings Of the tribes and whence do
peoples derive their various prominent traits? These
and other questions. all of them interesting, are ac-
centuated in the anthropological and chronological
exhibits at the Worlds Fair.
The section of the Exposition which embraces
studies and displays relative to human species is,
in nearly all respects. if not in its entirety. the most
comprehensive that has ever been established. 1t
certainly is not overstepping the accurate truth TO
assert that the exhibits are the most complete, as
well as the best, which have ever been assembled
in an exposition: nor is it unreasonable to assert
ties for students from the most representative uni
versities and even for the most accomplished au-
thorities.
In order to represent the human family. and con-
seQuently to make it an integral part of the Worlds
Fair, the management sent special agents into re-
mote parts Of the earth. They brought here the
giants from Patagonia and the pygmies from Africa:
men of all colors; men Of all shapes and types. and.
in brief. all species which are necessary to con
stitute a surprising anthropological and chronological
exhibition, including the affiliated branches of race
science.
The person who may know nothing of the human
amily, beyond what he has seen and heard and
casually read, has a surprise in store for him. The
person who has studied much, and heard much, and
observed much meets even n greater surprise. for
he is capable Of approaching this feature of the
Exposition. Several of the best universities have
decided to take advantage Of the rare opportunities
for study and research by holding classes in the
anthropological section this summer.
To the sight-seer and the pleasure-seeker excellent
advice may be given concerning the method of sec
ing the anthropological and chronological exhibits.
Do not be satisfied with a hurried inspection. and
say, Why. they are like our Indians, and they are
like our mulattoes, and they are like our negroes.
Do not render hasty judgment, after looking at an
article, and say that 1t is commonplace. Be oh
serving and inquisitive, and the human beings will
be more interesting than their attire, tents, houses
and modes of living.
The st. Louis Worlds Fair offers the human
family as It rs; offers exhibits which picture its his
tory and development. In other departments proc
esses are demonstrated and products displayed.
The anthropological and chronological section is a
study of man.

He left Columbia University a civil engineer, but he
could never practice that profession, because the life is
too active for one so afflicted. At any momentum the
street. at his Office, in the ouse-mornin noon or night,
there was likely to come that sudden sharp dart of pain.
following agonizing twisting and gripping. which would
end in Inconsistencies. How often he suffered no one
can say; he seldom spoke of it. Only the little pitfalls of
nitroglycerin tablets multiplied constantly. They be-
came n part of his life. They must be in every pocket.
or where his hand was likely to fall first when the first
symptoms came on. They were in almost every pocket of
his clothes; he had them at his office, in his desk. They
were near at hand when he walked or rode; they were
with him when he ate; they were the last things he saw
before he went to sleep and the first things his eyes rest
ed upon in the morning. They were his other self-his
life. in fact.
The symptoms had been more frequent of late and for
some weeks Mr.. Fischer did not venture forth on any
journey without an attendant or a close friend. Pre-
liminary to all these walks were directions what to do:
even In talking with strangers sometimes he would
preface his conversation by saying: Now. if l fall over.
will you kindly do thus explaining the procedure neces-
sary. Within the last thirty days l know of several in
stances where he fell in the street. These attacks were
growing in intensity all the time. Each left him ex-
hausted, nerveess and weak. He knew and l knew that
all this meant the very near approach of death. What
actually caused him to lose his courage l do not know.
1t must have been a recurrence of his attack yesterday.
This must have simply broken his spirit. He came home.

really the price they pay for the devotion
of those with whom they are associated
for life.
Men expect their wives to be self-sac-
rificIng for them; their own vanity and
s~elfishness. of which they are ofttimes
unconscious. demands this from the wom-
en- whom they would defend with their
lives if any one except themselves
should MAKE such cxactions az they do OF
their wives.
Far too many women, unfortunately,
are led by the tender woOing of the op-
pOsite sex to believe that they are to
be INDUCED in every within and that their
only responsibility in life after marriage
will be TO breathe and to exercise their
imperious sway over their willing slaves,
their husbands. Not that they rave been
told that such Is the position they are to
h~aVe-they are deceived into this false
idea by the arts and assiduous at
t%entiOns of lovers who are destined 10

DisCOntinuanCe of the unremitting at;en-

bands often leads to serious d~isappoint-

unfavorably.
They feel that they have been deceived.
They magnify every little neglect or fall
ure of their husbands to manifest their
ardent affections. and gradually drift in
10 Indifference and actual carelessness
on their part. which naturally serves to
widen the gulf between them and their
husbands. who probably had not realized
that their course as husbands had been

and physical states suited to that environ
ment.
To suppose otherwise. to assume that no
life can exist except under the conditions
found on this earth. is surely an immense
assumption. a very apotheosfs of egotism,
And SO. although I accept, of course, the
scientific demonstration hat Jupiter is in
a physical state very different from that
Of the earth. and although I find the ny
pothesis that he represents a stage OF
planetary evolution antedating that which
is specially suited for the development OF
living forms. very captivating. nd very
reasonable from the evolutionary point Of
view. yet there always remains in my
mind a doubt whether. after all. he may
not be as grand a center of intellectual as
he certainly is of physical energies
And this doubt becomes almost an in
tuitive belief every time I see him emerge
from the dazzle Of the sunshine and re-
sumo his majestic course through the
evening sky. In his splendid presence it
seems impossible to think of him other
wise than as a more glorious abode of life
than this comparatively insignificant globe
on which our lot has been cast.
In a group OF tropical islands, II you
found a little islet thickly peopled.
would you deem It reasonable to deny that
a great %neighbor island, more thar a thou

And yet It certainly does happen that
such an island may be the seat Of a giant
volcano and be covered with vast sheets
of hfeless lava instead of populous fields.

Therefore, brute force was a necessary
element in the education of every young

weakness. But the age OF humanitarian

sun IS mounting the heavens with slow

old idea that physical prowess means
m%anliness.
Abraham Lincoln is not famed As a

NO PLACE FOR THE BRUTE IN THIS
NEW CENTURY OF HUMANITARIANISM
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

WRITTEN FOR H SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
The President of the United States has
expressed a fear that the American boys
are becoming "No~llycoddleds." That is,
too ''ladylike in their tastes"
He thinks they should cultivate the gun.
the saddle and the boxing loves.
Outdoor sports are surely important in a
young mans education. and outdoor life Is
to be recommended for both sexes as the
pathway to physical vigor.
But President Roosevelt does not seem
to realize that the type of man who has
figured in history as a ruler during past
centuries is out of step with modern prog
ress.
Brute force led to royalty in olden times.
When a man was strong and crafty
enough to slay all his adversaries. then he
seized their possessions. including their
wives and children. and installed himself
as monarch in their domains.
Dig to the roots of the oldest royal fam
lily tree in the world to-day. and you will
find the bloodthirsty fighter. slauShtering
alike friend and foe, who stood between
himself and power.
All kings descend from assassins and
robbers. If we go back to the beginning.
OF old. might meant power. And to dis
play might was to kill men. women and
children and to contiscate their property.
Then. too. the strong arm and sure aim
meant the ability to provide s~ustenance
for others in the days when people lived
almost wholly on animal food.
That era passed long ago.
The greatness of Napoleon was not in
his ability to kill. but in his ability to
think out great problems.
While he possessed all the requisites for
a soldier. he possessed, too. the brain to
organize. and construct and improve So
cial conditions. France is to-day enjoying
good Dads. and great codes of laws and
educational advantages which all orIgi-
mated with Napoleon.
He combined the brutal soldier of the
old era and the great thinker of the new
age.
With the passing OF each decade the
brutal soldier seems less and less the ideal
man of the world.
Despite our unfortunate condition to-
day. there was never so much universal
intelligence on earth before. and never so
many people thinking along progressive
lines.
There was never before SO strong a SEN
timent of kindness toward weaker things
of earth.
Imagine a society for preventing cruelty
to children. OF for redrcssing the wrongs
of animals. in the days of Napoleon. Even
at so recent a period as that. parents were
to be individual monarch3 over
their children. no matter how they mis-
used or neglected them. A priest might
