If Men Could Fly.

"t don't wish the experimenters in
aeronautics any harm as individuals"
said the mOrallst, "but have it IN my
heart to wish that every airship and
aeroplane of whatever kind or nature
would be smashed to smithereens e.
fore it reaches perfection.
"Tbe conquest of the air would be a
mechanical achievement, but see what
it might lead to. 1t would give rascal
nations and rascal men an opportunity
to terrorize and prey upon their fell
lows. With perfectly controlled air.
ships how easy it would be for a pirate
trust to orga lize expeditions to hold
up cities and villages and rural com-
munities, to levy tribute upon the
commerce of the seas, I'd to feed fat
grudges and levenges.
"The chances of escape after a raid.
by soaring into the upper air beyond
human vision, and making off to some
secure retreat previously provided,
would be so great as to make tie risk
of the raiders almost negligible. L
don't believe that providence intended
that men should be able to fly before
they became SO perfect in morals that
no one would wrong his neighbor.
Angels al e pictured with wings. Men
must become angels before they are fit
to fly"
All this is rather fanciful, but it
suggests the tremendous problem that
will confront civilization when the air.
ship is perfected, if that time ever
comes. The vicious would have a new
and more terrible weapon and a surer
escape from punishment for their
crimes.
Mhar could society do to protect
itself from such possible calamity2
The representatives of law and virtue
could contend with the representatives
of cruelty aud crime presumably on an
equal footing; but they would be pow.
erless to prevent surprises. Every foot
of the earth could rot be guarded, and
quick descents and getaways in vari-
GUS quarters would be possible.
The strong nations might organize
to abolish war, holding the weaker ma
tions in check by the superiority of
their aerial armament. But it is easy
to see that the opportunities of law
lessness would be greatly increased,
and that there would, after all, be no
relief from greatly increased anxiety
save in q large accession of human
virtue.-Minnt ap0lis Tribune.

pear before the court of last resort
There sat forty-two gods and over
them presided Osiris. There good and
evil deeds were weighed. There the
soul pleaded it's own cause, and trem.
bled as it waited for the utter ance of
the verdict. "The Book of the Dead
recOunts the scene wien the soul ap-
pears before the gods, forty.two of
whom are ready to feed Oh the blood
of the wicked" "The soul addressing
the Lord of Truth denies having done
evil, saying: Il have not afflict any.
l have not told falsehoods. l have
not made the laboring m IN
do more than his task. 1 Lave not
bte Idle l have not murdered. l
have not committed fraud. 1 have
not injured the images of the gods.
ave not take II scraps of the aldages
Of the dead. ! have not committed
adultery. l have not cheated by false
weights. lave not kept milk from
suckiings. l have not caught the sa-
cred birds. To each god he tLea says:
L have not lie n idle. [ have not
boasted. l have not stolen Ihave
not counterfeited nor killed the sacred
beasts, nor blasphemed, nor despised
God in my heart" 1t was the last
plea to be given under circumst ances
well calculated to inspire eloquence
Upon it's effectiveness rested the per-
petual welfare of the soul.
II tf.eir religion was gloomy and un-
couth. If the way of the believer lay
al' ng dark and jagged pathways, there
was at lie sst consolation in the hope
that fair land with brighter better
things awaited the devout just over
the horizon of this life. 1t was the
predomil.ating spirit of such apeculiar
religious respons sbiiitv, which like q
stern task-master whipped the old
Egyptian to grand achievements to
de eis of glory. Whether he wandered
along the Tigris ur Euphrates, or
blaved the hardships of the desert or
terrors of the jungle the same fervor
actuated him alike.
The history of his religion is the his
tory of the Egyptiaa nation. Within
the sacred precincts of that religion
was moulded the foundation OF an en-
pire which survived the violence of
innumerable wars, foreign and domes-
tic, which subjected by conquest sur
rounding nations and spread Il intiu-
ences OF civilization among tie II; an
empire of vast learning which preserved
its records for its children's children;
IN empiIe that eventual y, under the
curse of delusiOn, filled with the con-
flict of jealous rivals and petty rulers,
harassed by rel eated invasion, torn
and rent by lnselnecine wars and
drenched in the blood of its nltives
tottered with its great gifts and fell in
death at the feet of rising latiOn at
tie North-the fair young Greece.

LAW In TENNESSEE

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May A test
in the courts of not only the prohibi-
ton law known as the manufacturers
bill, but also the statewide, or four
mile law, is now regarded as a GER
tainty.
That the manufacturers law, which
prohibits the manufacture of whisky
or other intoxicants after January 1,
1910, in the state, will be tested in
the courts, has been known for some
time but that the four mile law would
undergo a test in the courts was not
anticipated.
During the closing days Of the gen
eral assembly, leading lawyers of the
city studied the provi ions of the law
Every phase of the -four mile law was
carefully examined Legal counsel
employed to look into ,he matter sta's
that they have found certain phases q
the new law upon which a test cas-
will be made.
1t is expected suit will be brought
within the next few days to test the
matter, but as to the manufacturers
| bill, the suit will not be brought fol-
some time because the law does not oe
come effective until January 1, 1910

iasm, his magnetism, inspired all
around him. Such an instance as this
illustrates the man and his work: The
sick had overflowed all accommoda-
tionS. were needing shelter, food and
! nursing. A days search secured a
building: The next day the cleaning
up went vigorously on, wagons roll
ed up with lumber and straw, bolts
of cotton homeSpun. and sheets and
pillows were brought from the bu-
reau. The carpenter was soon at
work making the bunks, the ladies
were making the ticks and it was but
a short time before this cot, with
tick filed with fresh straw, with nice
clean sheets and pillow, presented
very inviting bed for the weary SOL
dier as he was lifted from his blank

before official red tape would have
written its first order.
The transfer of the hospitals was
