PHILOSOPHICAL POINTS.

The fatted calf never loves the
prodigal son.
Truth never runs around asking
people to believe 1t.
Alas, that fools are prosperous. Is
It their penalty or reward?
How many of us in listening to the
tomtoms forget the violins.?
To think an original thought is to
take a step nearer the divine.
People who need to be continually
propped up are not worth the prop.
When men become suddenly good
they should be executed Immediately
1t Is easier for some people to be-
eve the impossible than the pos
sible
Before it was thrown down, the
Golden Calf had son, and it is still
mooing around the world.
1t is self-evident that to success
fully fathom the motives of men one
must be man himself. To an idiot
TO a lunatic-all men are either
idiots or lunatics.

Cry for Land and Liberty.

1t is stated that the estimate of the
money needed by the Russian govern
ment for aid to the ADMINISTRATION
provinces would amount to nearly $40,-
1000 this year. The peasants are
starving, partly in consequence Of lack
of land to cultivate, partly because of
specially bad crops this year. Mean
while the rent of land is steadily ris.
ing According to the latest report of
the Peasants bank the average rent
per desiatin rose in IL years from 80
rubles to 108 rubles. No wonder that
the cry Of the peasants is for land
and liberty" And the only reasonably
fertile land remaining is that of pri-
vate owners, the public domain being
mostly swampy or forest land.

Shows Value of Liquid Fuel.

The steamship Goldmouth, belong
Ing to the Shell line, has just arrived
at Rotterdam, after steaming from
Singapore by the route round the
Cape of Good Hope, a distance of H.
Isl miles, in So days, without once
stopping the engines or checking the
generation of steam in the main boil
ers. This performance is believed to
be the largest nonstop run ever made
by marine machinery. The vessel was
burning liquid fuel, and with so great
an economy that enough surplus is
lett to take the vessel 20 days steam
