Darwin's Influence on Man.


On its practical side Darwinism has
undoubtedly had a depressing effect upon
some who could not see or could not
bear the whole truth. The reign of nat
ural law may seem to crush out indi-
vidual initiative, and to make mercy
and justice sound like idle words. But
this is only SO long as We do not per-
ceive that natural law covers human
energy, too. and shows it how best to
wreak itself In the new way Of look
ing at things, which came to the world
with Darwin. there is hope and cheer. if
we but take the matter Alright. Only
consider what his doctrine of the shap-
ing power of environment is leading us
to do in lettering the conditions of the
poor, the defective, the prone to crime
His demonstration that circumstances
may make or break a man is a clarion
call to humanitarian zeal. And his teach
ing Of the infinite variability of species
and Of the indefinite progress which
man may make in the cultivation Of hui
name and moral qualities IS one that
looks distinctly to the perfectibility Of
the race.

Lincoln's Remarkable Intellect.

George l.. Knapp. in Lippincotts-
II we put aside the popular preconcep-
tons of Lincoln. and look instead at the
recorded facts. We shall find evidence Of
his remarkable intellect at every stage
OF his adult career. In his youth, in
deed he had the misty vagaries proper
to youth; and. like so many great men,,
he came TO maturity late. But from the
time that he entered seriously on his
life work. his mental powers were held in
high, almost reverent. regard by all who
were close to him. In one sense he was
not q great lawyer. He lacked the broad
education. to begin with; and he lacked
even more the solder-offortune con-
science that enables man to fight on
one side as we'll as on another, in q bad
cause as we'll as in a good one. Lincoln
3ntellect was too keen, too cold, too accu-
rate, to tolerate bubbles or evasions; he
hated crooked reasoning quite as virulent-
j. as crooked dealing. But when he be-
Neved In his case, he could state that
case in way which made argument
almost needless: and he had that sure
and certain mark of genius. the ability
10 brush aside non-essentials and seize
at once on the central. vital issue
And in the struggles of politics the
work which he really loved. the same
qualities show out In yet higher relief
summate politician than Abraham Lin
coin. The aim of his early political life
war to save the Union. If Lincoln ever
made a wrong move to gain his goal his
tory has failed to record it, When he put
his famous question to Douglas. as TO the
possibility of excluding slavery from the
territories. his friends thought lie had
thrown away his own future and that OF
his party. Lincoln knew better He was
trying. not to keep Douglas from the
Senate. but to keep him from the White
House. He could see already that the
crisis of the struggle would come not
in 1858, but In 1850 He offered the
gambit. and Douglas accepted ito find
himself checkmated two moves later

The Owl Increases in Numbers.
From the London Times.


Happily, the true character Of owls is
coming to be better understood There
are still some who regard them with awe
as death boding," and there is testi-
mony which cannot be gainsaid to prove
that occasionally individual owls. both
brown and long cared. have been known
to kill a young partridge or young pleas
ant But these are beyond doubt ex-
ceptional cases-aberrant individuals like
sheep killing dogs-while the proof is
overwhelming that the generality of
owls confer incalculable benefit on man
by the destruction of rats and mice and
moles, well of many species of in
sects which are "noXious' from the HUI
man point of view. All the British spe-
cies of owl are in the writer's opinion
now increasing in numbers, the brown
owl conspicuously fast.

Stepney included at one time nearly all

tradition arose that children born at sea
belonged to Stepney parish. J. F. ii.
