by solemn acts Of devotion 10 God Al
mighty. II ought to be solemnized
with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and
Examinations from one end Of this con-
tinent to the other from this time for
ward, forevermore.'
When the resolution was taken up on
the I'd, all the states, except New York,
voted to accept it. Thus, on the I'd
day OF July, 1916, the independence
of the thirteen united colonies from
the throne OF Great Britain was def
nitely decided upon. The ID, and not
the 4th, may be called the true date Of
the separation. We could with propri-
ETY. celebrate the Fourth two days ear
lier. That the participants in the work
considered the I'd as the true date Is
shown by the letters written by John
Adams, quoted at the beginning of the
article. The popular fancy, however,
seized upon the 4th, the date of accept
ance Of Jefferson's more dramatic dec
laration OF the reasons for the sepa-
ration, as the proper day to celebrate.
The debate upon the document was
continued until the afternoon of the
4th, and, says Jefferson, might have
run on Unfortunately at any other sea
son OF the year. But the weather was
oppressively warm and the hall in
which the deputies sat was close to a
stable, ''whence the hungry flies
swarmed thick and fierce, alighting on
the legs Of the delegates and biting
hard through their thin silk stockings.
Treason was preferable to discomfort"
and at last the delegates were brought
to such state Of mind as to agree to
the Declaration without further amend
ment
1t Is a mistake to suppose that the
document was signed by the delegates
on that day. 1t is Improbable that any
signing was done save by John Han
cock, the president of the congress, and
Charles Thomson, the secretary Paul
Leland Haworth in Harper's Maya
zine.

A Theory That 1t Is an Intermediary
Stage of Development.

y
Stage of Development.
The origin of colored skin, or white
either, Is still unknown II the sun is
really the active agent in its evolution,
the power of sunlight must have been
curtailed when people took to wearing
clothes.
The slightest protection, as seen in
the use of ladies' wells, keeps the white
skin pure. Therefore, If there is any
protection afforded by natural dark
skin, an equivalent is obtained for
white people by the use of clothes. I'm
til white people begin to discard cloth
ing in the tropics their skin will re-
main white.
Sunburn must not be COMPOUNDED
with augmentation Of the skin. Sun
burn is merely tanning of the cpl
dermal cells on the surface of the skin,
whereas fermentation is caused by a
deposit of dark matter within the
deeper layers Of the true skin.
Summing the whole evidence up,
considering all arguments derived
IIOHl ulsloTy, uutHFoPoloSy. eluLOIoHy
and general evolution, it seems to me
that the colored skin is an intermedi-
airy stage Of development between our
primate ancestors and the pure white
or Caucasian skin. My general con-
tention is that white skinned peoples
come from the Oldest stocks Of human
ity and that in the process of evolution
they became white by the use Of
clothes.-Dr. T. F. Macdonald.

ADAPTABILITY.

Adaptability's sails are set to catch
any wind that blows.
To the man with adaptation an emer-
gency is an opportunity.
Adaptability is the ability to adapt
yourself quickly to unexpected condi-
tons.
The bankrupt law is meant as an
asylum for men who are without adapt
ability.
When one plan fails the man with
adaptation has forty-nine untried 9TH
rs waiting.
Adaptabiliy Is always ready, is new
er taken at a short, is the great light
ming change artist and often turns
hopelessness into victory.
A general in battle, statesman in
Office or financier handling large en-
terprises without the ability to readily
adapt himself TO suddenly changed con-
ditions is misfit.-From Cent Per Cent.
