THE RELIGION OF NATURE. BY
Kay Robinson. New York: McCiur
Phillips & Co. Washington: Woo
ward & Lothrop.

Mr.. Robinson. q well-known nature
writer, has in these chapters set forth his
own Interpretation of nature as pointing to
the existence of supreme power. and enun-
ciates doctrine that will inevitably arouse
criticism. With many specific Illustrations
he argues that there is no obstacle to belief
In personal God in the spectacle of the ap-
parent wholesale cruelty involved in the
struggle for existence in the brute creation
He holds that man alone of the animals is
conscious of pain and suffering. and that
this consciousness is given to him as spe-
cial boon and a spur to further effort and
advancement.

A STRANGE Awakening.

Senator Bailey, of Texas, in describ-
Ing a terrific fight that he had once
seen on the streets OF New York, said
that the hubbub and confusion remind
ed him Of an episode that happened
on train.
"on a certain train,' he said. "a
very large, muscular man fell asleep,
and annoyed all the passengers by
snoring Tremendously. A drummer,
carrying half a lemon in his hand,
tiptoed over to a little boy who sat
behind the snorer.
Son. said the drummer, I am a
doctor, and if that man doesn't stop
snoring he'll die of apoplexy. Watch
your chance, and as soon as his
mouth opens little wider, lean over
and squeeze this lemon into it,
The boy obeyed.''

Trade of Some Great Ports.

Some figures have been prepared re-
Gently showing the value Of the trade
of the great ports Of the world, from
which it appears that the trade OF
London is worth G2s5, 100000 year,
while that Of Liverpool stands at
g277 500, 600 a year. These figures for
the other great ports are as follows:
New York, a221, 100000; Hamburg
(fncluding the ooastfng trade) e230.-
00o, 900; Marseil1es, e186, 100000; Ant

trafie), $50, 100000. Calcutta, $751;
00o, 900; Bombay, a51, 100000; singa-
pore, s43, 900, 600, and Sydney, $751;
00o. 900. It should be noted that the
figures for the two great British ports
do not include the value of the coast
ing trade. The probability Of London
being able to maintain its position as
the greatest port of the world is be-
coming somewhat doubtful.-London

When Ambrose Bierce, the satirist

day asking him to come east, says the
Saturday Evening Post. He hustled
aboard train, but when he arrived
at Williams, Ariz., he received another

he was not needed then. Bierce got
off at Williams, a most forsaken place.
He spied little rough board hotel
up the street. went to it, registered

went to bed, where he spent the Il
hours he had to wait for train going

Ace and Personal c,arn,

An amusing discussion recently took
place between an artist and an au-
thor as to at which period of life a
woman was the most fascinating. Ac-
eording to the artist a woman should
not be painted between the ages Of
25 and 10, as she was IN the greatest
transition period Of her life; the au-
thor. on the other hand. declares that
she Is at the height of her fascination
and beauty between the ages Of 50
and 40 The question il still unset
tied.
