Supreme Because Of Half Ounce Of
Phosphorus In his Brain.

Man has no wings and yet he can
soar above the clouds he ls not swift
OF foot and yet he can outspeed the
fleetest hound or horse: he has but
feeble weapons In his organization
and yet he can slay or master all the
great beasts; his eye Is not sharp
as that Of the eagle or the vulture,
and yet he can see into the farthest
depths Of sidereal spaces he has only
very feeble occult powers OF eommu-
nioatIon with his fellows, and yet he
can talk around the world and send
his voice across mountains and des-
erts; his hands are weak things be-
side lions paw or an elephants
trunk, and yet he can move noun
taIns and stay rivers and set bounds
70 the Widest seas. His dog can out
smell him and outrun him, and yet
his dog looks up TO him as to a god.
He has erring reason In place OF un-
erring instinct, and yet he has chang
ed the face Of the planet.
Without the specialization OF the
lower animals--theIr wondermul adap-
tation to particular ends their tools,
their weapons. their strength, their
speed, man yet makes them all his
servants His brain Is more than 4
match for all the special advantages
nature has given them. The one gfft
OF reason makes him supreme in the
world.--John Burrough, 10 Atlantic

A Suicidal Doctrine.

"A few children well born and
cared for are worth more TO the ma
ton than large families and high
birth rate. Man IL the only family al
lowed 10 propagate lis weakest
traits. In the lower orders on life
only the fittest survive" These
statements were made by one OF the
best known and most brilliant women
OF Cleveland before an audience of
women few days ago
This form OF logic Is NOT new. II
sounds convincing. but the trouble
with II is that Il Is contrOyerted by
the history OF mankind Take a list OF
the great men of all time--men who
accomplished the things which have
left q permanent inlpress--and 1t will
be found that large number OF
them were not well born and cared
for Some of The migliTiest and most
brilliant among them sprang from
poverty Of the hardest kind were
born M homes where modern ideas
OF the correct way TO rear children
were unknown.
The hope Of the nation lies In the
large families OF the artisan, the
farmer, the laborer. From them wifi
spring. as In all time past. many Of
the mighty men Of the future. With
the refinement and hIxries Of cOmpet-
ence and wealth comes iessefied
birth rate too small to insure the per-
petuity of the nation. The practical
result Of the doctrine advocated By
the Cleveland woman would be- race
suicide.

ImperIshabIe Cedar.

An extraordinary illustration OF the
almost imperisbable nature OF Wash

shingles recently cut In Washington

poses. Those shingles were cut from
a moss-covered cedar log lying on the
ground, and which mad growing over

which encircled the fallen log. The
growing tree had $50 rings. which in-
dicate, according TO the accepted the
ory, that It was $50 years old. Yet
It's growth started after the tree from
which the shingles were cut had fall
en- to the ground. Here was q cedar
log, fallen and lifeless. which had lain
exposed TO the weather for not less
than $50 years, and yet was free from
rot to the extent that nerchantable
shingles could be saved from II.
Every man who has worked in the
woods or In clearing land in this state
has seen similar instances OF the
ability of red cedar to resist the raw
ages OF time. In alluvial soil along
the river banks, IN digging bitches.
cedar logs have been found covered
by four or five feet OF alluvium. which
were yet sound save for few inches

few years. Conjecture halts VAT any
