sherlock Holmes Spirit.

The Bill club Of Missouri is composed
OF good fellows of the name Of Bill"
It's members include some of the leading
men of the state.
At the Bill clubs last meeting in Ex-
celsior Springs, the well known detec-
tive, Hilary X. Adair, was a guest OF
honor
Mr.. Adair, in responding to a toast.
talked about the Sherlock Holmes spirit.
"This spirit" he said, reveals to its
fortunate possessors startling truths In
the most prosaic happenings. Every In
cident Of life, to true Sherlock, is as full
OF wonderful significance as an incident
that 1 witnessed In grocery the other
morning.
This incident, which revealed to me a
whole history OF martial unhappiness.

receive his liberty and be well fed at the
post II he would agree to work. "Work!'
he exclaimed, but I didn't do any work
at all in my masters housed" And so the
slave took to his heels and was delighted
to ger home again to his master.
Finally it is TO be noted that one OF the
distinctive traits of certain Congo RIDES
is cannibalism. Now it is anything but
fair to regard the cannibal as a ferocious
and bloodthirsty brute. He is sometimes
rather a gentle individual who simply pre-
fers human flesh to that of animals. Can
nibalism is not the result of rascality and
perversity," DR.. Cureau explains, but
rather the result OF a dislike for the out
slider. II is an alimentary by-product OF
war an extension of the chase" Every
traveller who has crossed Central Africa
has had the experience OF visiting villages
peopled with cannibals and of finding that
he ran no danger there. l myself have
had that experience. When journeying on
the Oubangui, l dropped in upon the
Bondjo village of Betou, which was then
at war with the administration and with
the traders of the neighborhood. The
canihal eats the flesh of a man not be-
longing to his family or to his tribe with
the same sangfrod as is displayed by
ourselves when we eat a outlet or a slice
Of roast beef. That respect for life which
among the Buddhists extends to all living
creatures we extend only to man, while
the cannibal extends it only to n limited
number of men. That's all the difference.
There is the same moral distance between
black cannbal and n white meat-eater
as between a white meat-eater and a
vegetarian Buddhist.
Moreover It is to be remembered that
not all the tribes of the Congo practice
cannibalism, and among those who do
practice it many differences are TO be
noted. The Pahouin eats only the enemy
killed in war; and his object in eating him
/ is apparently to assimilate his courage and
his virtues. The Bondjo, like the Nzakara
and the Boubou, has no hesitation in slay-
| ing a man in order to make a meal OF
/ him But the worst cannibals are to be
| found across the frontier IN the independ-
| ent state of the Congo, "Dr. Hinde," M
Wauters coolly relates, explained to us
| why the Batetelas are such a splendid
race. There are no gray-haired people
among them, no lame people, no blind
/ people; and that is because the ehildre'
eat their parents as soon as the first
symptoms of decrepitude appear"

In this months Atlantic appears an
article called THE Grading of Sinners"
L. a. Ross wrote 1t, and he had some
thing TO say. He brings certain charges
against the soundness Of American pub
lie opinion which are calculated to make
a man stop and think. Public opinion, he
says has never been so mighty a regu-
lator of conduct as now; but this is not
because it has grown any wiser or more
deserving of authority. Now as ever
the judgments the average man passes
upon the conduct of his fellow are casual,
inconsistent, and thoughtless. The public
resents a pin-prick more than a blow at
the heart 1t parties a frontal stroke
but ignores a flank attack" Then he
goes on to show the three big fallacies
which lie at the root Of all this misjudg-
ment and false emphasis.
1t is not often that one meets with such
a merciless arraignment of that much
Wanted Public Opinion, TO which we have
entrusted so tremendous a function in
our national life. II strikes straight from
the shoulder and delivers the blow where
it tells. 1t sets a man to wondering
whether that pleasant optimism about
the voice of the people being the voice
Of God is really everything we have liked
to believe it after all.

And all the beets turned red.

your love 1 cannot be;
The pumpkin be your lawful BRIDE
You cantaloupe with me-"
But onward still the tuber came,
And lay down at her feet;
"You cauliflower by any name
And it will smell as wheat;
And l. too, am an early rose,
And you I've come too see;
Sc don't turnip your lovely nose,
But spinachat with me-"
81 do not carrot all to wed,
So go, sir, II you pleased"
The modest onion meelkly said,
"And lettuce, pray, have peas!
GO, think that you have never seen
Myself or smelled my sigh;
Too long a maiden have been
For favors in your ryel"
"Ah, spare a cuss!" the tuber prayed;
my cherryshed bride you'll be;
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with mel
And as the willy tuber spoke
He caught her by surprise.
And, giving her an artichoke,
Devoured her with his eyes.

are not in a moderate degree satisfied.
Christ. then, as practical legislator,
did not deprecate the body. On the
contrary, he showed, both in the sermon
on the Mount, and in his whole career,
tenderness of the bodily well-being of
men, such as no school except the Epi
cureans had shown, and such as the Epi-
cureans themselves had not surpassed
He spent the greater part of his short
life in healing sick people. and of the
comforts which he restored to others, he
did not disdaln himself to partake. .
So marked was the absence of asceticism
both in his own life and in thar which he
prescribed for his disciples, that his
enemies called him n glutton and Wine
bibber. He divides himself at once from
the ascetic and the stole. They had said;
Make yourself Independent of bodily
comforts;" he says: ''Ye have need Of
these things" But if the Epicurean or the
sensualist take advantage of these words
and say. III you have need of these
things, make it your study to obtain
them" he parts company not less de-
cidedly with these and says: True
pleasure is not thus to be had. 1t is the
healthy bloom of the spirit which must
come naturally or not at all. Those who
think about 1t lose II, or produce with all
their labor but a poor imitation of it.
Self consciousness and sensualism is the
enemy OF true delight" Solomon on his
throne was gaudy; the lilies of the field
are better dressed. Epicurus in his garden
was languid; the birds of the air have
more enjoyment of their food.
His rule of life will often, nay, generally,
involve us in hardships, and in death it.

It appears that the navel orange has
added more to the wealth Of California
than all Its gold mines. The propaga-
ton Of this tree, accidentally found on
the banks Of the Amazon river in South
America by an American consul, William
Judson, has done the business. The little
shoots experimental doubtfully with In
1878 have grown, spread into vast orange
groves that produce millions Of dollars OF
revenue annually and have literally built
up the southern part Of the state. Popu-
lous towns have sprung up, thousands OF
persons find their occupation in growing
and transporting the orange crop, and
the wealth Of the state has thereby been
increased by $6O,000,0O0 annually and II
Is q source OF wealth that is inexhaustible.
