MANS CHIEF PERIL

The chief peril to which man Is ex- posed is that of proclamation of what is lIoly, from which heiis shielded by shutting htim up in the circle of his senses, and restricting him to the shall lows of his reason. Within that circle, and in those shallows, he acquires what he believes is wisdom, what he names ambitions, suffers what he fancies are pain and sorrow, wreaks what he in- tends for revenges, commits what he calls sins, indulges what he mistakes for love, and, in a word, lives what 1t is given him to imagine is human life. Yet in all that span of existence there is but a handful of hours when he truly lives the life that Is his own and not 8 pretense. an enasion. or an error; and those few hours appear to him-save at the instant of their revelation as hallucinations. Nevertheless they are the jorticos and pillars, halls and gar- dens. sun and stars of his heaven;
 which he pragmatically and compla- gently puts away from him, and turns himself to what seems to him his heav- en, but is his hell. Truly, this is pity and a loss!-Julian Hawthorne in the Century.

A SERMON THAT FAILED.

Husband Preached a Fine One, but
 Couldn't See Wife's Application.
 Mary" said Mir. Wimbledon. we've got to shut down on this Christmas present business. Now, don't want you to imagine I've become one of these grouches who think it's wrong to let the children believe in Santa Claus. I'm in for giving the little ones a good time. There's nothing more beautiful than the joy of the children over their presents, and I'd be the last man in the world to ad- vocate any scheme that would tend to sweep away the idea that Christmas should be a time of peace on earth and god will toward men. But the trouble is that We've been drifting away from the real Christmas idea. We make it a time to be dreaded. h. stead of the simple festival that Christmas should be we make it an excuse for extravagant displays. We have departed from the good old fashioned Christmas and are not sat- isfled to gladden. our children with simple presents merely to remind them of our love, but we try to outdo one another in making lavish displays Women boast about the maounts of money they spend for Christmas pres ents and the only who succeeds in be- ing the most foolish in this respect ap- pears to stand highest in the estima- tion of the others.
 we no longer econfine our giving to members of our own families, but we spread out and exchange presents with all our acquaintances.' It's a nuisance and it's positively wicked, Many of us are forced to go far be- yond our means in roder to return gifts to people who have sent gewgaws
 to us. Such giving Is. a mere mock
 cry, of the old Christmas spirit. We often give with downright reluctance

dle. The simple fact is that no expla- nation is necessary. Athens wasn't so much. The United States in the last frazzle. These Athenians that Bliss and Galton go into rhapsodies about never had g. million dollars in their lives. There is Socrates What did he ever do? sHe only philosophical and he didn't pull down even the salary of g. professor of philosophy in the Uni versity of Chicago. And Phidias? A pretty fair sculptor, maybe. But he never got the price of a single com mission from J. Pierpont Morgan.
 Go down the list and they're all in the same boat. Take Demosthenes. He left word that his mother brought up him and his sister on $126 a year, That wouldn't have been so bad if he had ever made up for it later, but he begged along on almost nothing at all though he might have been 8 decent lawyer. Why, there are a million at- torneys nowadays who could bpy him out fifty times over. And then So- phocles. You can bet he never made as much out of "Antigone" in all the time it was running as Clyde Fitch carries away from the box office of "The Wo7 man in the Case" every Saturday night. And Aristophanes? He simply isn't in it for a holy minute with George Ade as a writer of comedies. Isn't Ade making $15O,OOO a year? Yet Bliss and Galton never mention him.
 They are just as unreasonable throughout. Thucydides was all very well in his day before people knew about historical novels. But he isn't to be mentioned in the same breath with Winston Churchill, and his royalties wouldn't have bought him a good buck board. As a statesman, Pericles had 8 reputation, to be sure. But he couldn't have swung the Nineteenth Ward in New York City, and Boss Murphy could have cleaned him off the map in no time. Besides, he hadn't the fatntest notion of what could be done to the big corporations or of the possibilities of contracts, and he wouldn't have got rich in a million years.
 These fellows and others who might be named got on all right in a slow age. But they couldn't have stood the gaff in these hustling times, and there wasn't a millionaire in the bunch. Of ceuSses such men aren't to be compar-

BEHIND THE RUSSIAN FOG.

When thefog lifts from the Russian mystery the world will be very fortu- nate indeed if 1t does not disclose an- archy.
 The government seems not only to be bound and gagged, but blindfolded as well. That the forces of reaction are doing their worst at Tsarkoe Selo can be readily believed; for 1t is the custom of such forces to utilize every failure of a policy of moderation, as we'll as every success accompanied by cessation of popular agitation, to urge the monarch. to whom they are supedstitiously and superfcally loyal, to hasten on the back track once more. Such was the fatal course urged upon Louis XVI by the "perfumed idlers in the 'ocil de boeuf'" and upon Charles I by the purblind courtiers who sur- rounded him.
 Something may be done if the elec-

If ii can succeed in making itself the voice of the people, 1t should be able to establish a basis of law and order; and upon this basis it may be possible to build a limited monarchy. The blockade at the present moment seems to be due to the fact that neither party in the state trusts or co-operaes Loyalty win the official government led by Count Witte.. He is between two fires.
