TO this social revolutionist that II re

This, therefore. is the Plan: All the
clocks Of the Kingdom are TO be moved
forward, and the affairs of life are stu
to be regulated by the face value OF the
clocks governed by what the hands on

of the reasons why the United States
heads the list of the worlds nations in
prosperity and progress In the ten years
which have passed since the business re-

lation has increased 81 per cent. In those
ten years the value Of its annual mineral

The Englishman's Nightmare.

From the London Spectator
The individual Englishman is usually an
optimist. has very few fears. disbelieves
in hell, and. like the American. Is at
heart quite confident that his country,
aided by Providence, will in some way or
other "muddIe through The collective
Englishman, on the other hand is apt to
be exceedingly pessimistic, believes that
each event may have disastrous conse-
quences and finds, wha is at least singu-
lar kind of enjoyment in Nightmares.
He really believes, or thinks he believes.
in the coming arrival of vast disasters;
fails to find comfort in his long history of
successes: forgets that the awful boT
which was to have destroyed him, the
successful revolt Of the American colonies,
doubled the power of his race without re-
ducing that of his own section of 1t; and.
for ali his pride. though 1t often amounts
to arrogance. often expresses confidence
in his approaching destruction by the
darker peoples. No Englishman is really
afraid Of China, but the British as a whole
are greatly moved by prophecies of the
yellow peril"
The fact that if all the yellow men in
existence reached the shores of the North
sea they could not cross II without
permission of H. NJ. S. Dreadnought-a
circumstance of precisely the same kind
ds tIlat which sloppeu Ae! Nee-is never
taken into consideration. They hear of
a wave of discomfort sweeping over
India, and begin talking of the great re-
volt of 1857. without rejecting that since
then the effective white garrison of the
peninsula has been multiplied by FIVE: that
the whites control all effective artillery
that India has been covered with railways
arranged for military as we'll as CONNER
cial purposes. and that India is less than
half the distance from Great Britain that
it was when the nassacres of fifty years
ago made the islanders shut their teeth.
great dependency is bfpken by dozens of
native states whose princes no more de-
sire a popular uprising than We do. as
we'll as by those nunberless differences
of creed caste, occupation and civilization
which in 1857 arrested any popular revolt,
and practically left the drilled Sepoys.

sympathy, as rebel armies hanging in air.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Although the days are shortening and
the need Of artificial light Is becom-
ing daily more urgent at the beginning
and at the end. the readers of several of
the English newspapers are seriously en-
gagged in the discussion of an ingenious
proposal for preventing the waste of day
light. The plan of the would-be bene-
factor of his kind is predicated on the

The origin Of Kissing.
be North American Review

From the North American Review.
Originally, kissing was a form OF mere
salutation, corresponding to the custom
among the Esquimaux of rubbing noses.
Thus, in the very olden days, II seemed
to many seemly and even pious act TO
kiss the feet of idols. just even now
millions would rejoice in the opportunity
after the modern manner, of course-to
kiss the toe of the pope st. Paul ex-
tended this phase of the ceremony by in
venting and enjoining the holy kiss" or
kiss of charity. signifying Christian love
and brotherhood. So far as we have been
evidence Of fellowship served satisfacto-
gradual, and apparently not unwilling.
participation in IL by the sisters gave
rise to uncertainties in the minds of SO
many husbands of selfish disposition that
the practice was long ago discontinued.
and Is now never observed, except under
an unusual stress of circumstance, or
when a peculiarly plausible pretext can
be found. AS a matter of fact, the kiss
prescribed by the apostle was as harmless
a thing as the kisses of Arabian women
upon the boards of their male relatives: /:
but as the requirements of the times be-
came less rigorous, the distance between
cheek or forehead and lips seemed to
shorten, and abandonment of the pretty
custom became necessary, for reasons
which we need not recount, since they
may be readily supplied by Intelligent and
experienced readers of both sexes.

daughter Of another baronet-the late Sir

other land owners with similar rights or
