Two English delegates who came over to a great convention held in Milwaukee were "thunderstruck" at the "remarka' ble democracy of America as display ed when as one man the other delegates removed their coats, vests, collars and cuffs and prepared to be as comfortable as possible in a hot convention hall. II was new to them, but Is not new to us Men in America are quite apt to make themselves comfortable when by them selves, though sometimes the conyen. tionalities are rudely disturbed But why shouldn't men be comfortablef It's a mighty absurd custom which permits women to wear the thinnest sort of clothes, while men are compelled to swelter ln many thicknesses of cloth woolen, cotton and linen at once. The lining of a mans coat sleeve Is thicker than all a woman wears upon her arms in summer. Add a thick layer Of wool en cloth and frequently sleeve Of an undershirt, and see what a difference there Is. Mems shirts are cool enough in themselves, but look at the collars. the ties and the cuffs which cucumber them. Almost every man wears thiek padding In the shoulders and several thicknesses of "waddlng" haircloth and various other things in the front of his coat. It Is well enough to talk about delightful democracy" but for some reason this same delightful democ- racy" has not yet dared to defy estab- lished conventionalities by permitting men the same freedom ln dress and comfort that It allows the women Rid icule and criticism always await the man who tries to be comfortable In pub lie, and the ones who criticise most are those who most need reform. It's pe- culiar thing that men stand thus h the way of their own needs and desires. Ii they wanted to. they could by a concert. ed effort overturn all the old ideas and establish a code permitting rational dress; but, bless your soul, they will continue to stick to thick, stin linen bands about their necks, heavily padded coats, plug hats and all the other un- comfortable things, time without end, because they would much rather be un- comfortable than ridiculous. That Is to say, they will do this In public. But when they get out Of sight they will peel of" quickly and say hard things about the custom which makes them towards.

OVER A CLIFF.

To go out after game in the hill country of India means that the hunter will find game, says Captain Glasfurd, the author of Rifle and Romance In the Indian Jungle" One morning. fol lowed by his shikarees, or native hunt CTS, Captain Glasfurd was out looking over a rough hillside for bear. He had passed round the curve of d high ledge, when he found himself In front of d large, lowroofed cave. On the sandy floor of the entrance to the cave were the fresh ingoing tracks of a bear.
 Our position was a sufficiently haz- ardous one. The ledge was extremely narrow, oyerhung by rock, and on the verge of a perpendicular face of sand stone. We began quietly retracing our way. But scarcely had we taken one step when a horrible disturbance oc- cured in the depths of the cavern. This hastened our movements; but our haste was as nothing compared to the rapidity of the eruption that was going on behind us as the bear came yelling and scrambling out of the cavern. For me there was nothing but a swift whip round to face this horrid denouement, my rife not even permitted to reach shoulder.
 To right, a blank wall of smooth cliff side; to left, swift descent to the un- known over the edge of the cliff, and in front raging, roaring mass of black hair shooting toward me with the speed of a runaway motor car.
 Bang" goes my rife, and the next moment I am enjoying a strange. slow moving nightmare, one of the most vivid of Its memories being the smooth brushed appearance of the bears fore head as her jaws closed on my right thigh.
 We bump and whirl swiftly down ward. A mi-unconsciousness held me- and then came a shock. saw the body of the bear hurled far from me into space, and I realized that was clutch ing at something.
 It was little tree that gripped in the strength of despair. I was hang ing to 1t, head downward, on the face of the cliff itself.
 My Jat orderly's voice soon sounded in my ear. The plucky fellow had crawled down that awful slope and managed to seize my hands. I was somehow drawn upward to the ledge. Then my gaze fell upon that solitary sapling, rooted in some mere chlnk in the rock. There was no other tree with in many yards.
 Two months on my back afforded scope for thought as to my extraordi- nary piece of luck.

creased of Late.
 It Is c fact to be gratified about that cocoa and chocolate are conducive to health, because they are so delicious that their lovers and users are grow ing in number so rapidly as to require almost a daily revision of statistics, says Cent Per Cent If there were any hurtful tendency accompanying their use the country would be facing a con lights of cocoa and of chocolate using give them a hold upon appetite that It Is next to impossible to break. It does not seem a long time since Rutherford B. Hayes was president and yet with in that short range of time, the use of cocoa In one form or another has h. creased in the United States 2,o00 per cent, and the consumption of cocoa and chocolate by Americans has more than doubled In five years.
 Not alone, however, Is the attention challenged by the enormous increase In the use of cocoa, but an even more remarkable fact Is brought to light by authorities on the subject. We refer to the fact that study of the statistics gathered by Hoglns & Lee, less than eight years ago the United States held only fifth place as manufacturer of CO., coa and chocolate, England, Germany, Holland and France taking precedence in about the order named. Today we hold first place, both as manufacturers and consumers of cocoa and chocolate, by comfortable margin. and are in- creasing our lead so rapidly that 1t Is with the utmost difficulty that the American manufacturers are able to meet the demands upon them. In 1905 the United States consumed nearly 460,00o bags of cocoa, or about one third of the worlds entire crop. Even at this rate of growth the industry would be destined to become a com manding figure In the commercial world, but the consumption of cocoa Is enlarging with the population, and at an increasing ratio; that Is. more people are using 1t, and present users are consuming larger quantities

 Jim Ward needed no second bidding With a few steady strides he reached the little group. The lady in furs was pleading. scoldlng, threatening but all to no purpose.
 What she could not accomplish Jim's strong voice and steady authoritative manner did. In few minutes he had escorted the traveller to the waiting carriage, and left him there.

 Monica Ward, tall and slim, with the pretty color coming and going in her soft cheeks, stood once more on the platform awaiting the train. Suddenly there was a noIse-a pun ing. panting sound. and the train was In,

He also organized and was first secretary of the Western Unitarian Sunday School Society; established in 1878, with oth- CTS, Unity, a weekly paper, now the organ of the Congress of Religions, and has been its editor-in-chief since 1880. In this year the spirit within him demanded fuller expression than was given him as secretary of the Western Conference, and be hired a hall and hung out his shingle as a preacher"
 The gospel of universal brotherhood and freedom, fellowship and charac- ter In religion burned within him and must find expression, so he organized All Souls Church, the services being held In a hall. At this first service there were about 20 people, but half of these never came again. Nevertheless the seed sprouted and made steady growth.
 In time a church building, with many of the appurtenances of Il club house, was erected. The method of work Is that followed by all liberal churches and known as Unity Club work. This includes a systematic course of study in literature and re- ligion, science and other useful topics with a special view to character build ing, under the direction of the pastor.
 The pastor of All Souls was one of the leaders in organizing the Worlds Parliament of Religions in 1923. and became the general secretary of the Congress of Religions-a natural se- quence to the parliament; was the first president of the Illinois State Conference of Charities Is one of the lecturers in English iu the University of Chicago extension course; Is found.

ing commission passed an act for the abolition of the dues. It gives up tax of which there has been some COIL plalnt, and Manila gets the advantage of being a free port In the same con nection reference Is made to her in- proved harbor facilities. The improve ments will cost, when completed. say eral million dollars, and Include the dredging to a depth of thirty feet over an area of 400 acres, the reclamation of waste land. and an eighteen-foot chan nel entrance to the Pasig River. The statement concerning the abolition Of dues which was sent out by the bureau Of Insular affairs makes a comparison which shows that while Manila Is now a free port there Is not such port In any other oriental country. Hongkong, commonly called free port, Imposes a tax. designated light dues, of l cent Mexican per ton. This Is the smallest charge, and there are variations for different ports ranging as high as 29 cents. In the Philippines the duty has been 6 cents per ton, or 30 cents per ton per annum. Manifestly under such a system short sailing vessels which made many entries, like those from the Asiatic coast, had an ady1n- tage over those which made long dis tances and paid full rates. American ships, therefore, should be among those that receive distinct benefit from the change.
