Plants Live Individual Lives.

From the London Outlook.
MANY plants, like most animals, are

mothers, they live their individual lives.

cattle of life. they send them forth into
the world to shift for themselves, to
learn how best to respond to the in
fiuence of their environment. to accumu-
late life experience, and finally to hand
this down to the families of their own
they will found. And having in their
day and generation served the passing
purposes of the individual life, they age
and wither and die. Life is for them.
as for us. a serious business: there Is
earnest purpose underlying all their &C.
tivities. They struggle relentlessly one

Refuse to Play for Parade of
Bible Classes.
0N-UNIONlSTS IN LINE
Organized Musicians Decline to A.
fliate With the Naval Gun
Factory Band.
From the New YORK Tribune

Besides being marred very appreciably
by the heavy rainstorm, the parade or
mems Bible classes of the Worlds Sun
day School Association, held in Pennsyl-
vania avenue yesterday, was much dis
turbed by a squabble between union and
non-union musicians, members of differ
ent bands which had been engaged to
play along the line of march. The unior
musicians went on, strike, and as result
many of the marching organizations were
without music. 1t was simply another
outcropping of the trouble which has eX-
listed for months between the local mu-
sicians' union and the non union Naval
Gun Factory Band.
Members of the union said afterward
that they had been assured the gun fac
tory band would not be engaged, but just
as the parade was starting it was discov-
cred that the gun factory organization
was far in the lead and loudly playing a
hymn which the marchers sang.
Bands Ordered Out.
Protests were made to the officials of
the Sunday School Association, but they
declared the gun factory band could not
be taken out of line.
Then A. c. Hayden, president of the
union. ordered five bands off the street,
and they went.
Commenting on the incident this MORN
ing. Leader Moody of the Gun Factory
Band regarded 1t as strange that the
union bandmen would play in the same
line with them in Alexandria during
Homecoming week, in the inaugural pa
rade and in other affairs, and yet would
refuse to play in an ordinary parade.
Mr. Hayden explained this apparent
change of front this morning when he
called attention to the fact that President
Taft was participating in the affairs in
which both bands played and he de-
clared the union musicians would not
emphasize their own troubles in a way
that might inconvenience or embarrass
the chief executive.
Yesterdays matter was on an entirely
different plane. Mr.. Hayden said, and the
union musicians walked out because they
were contending for principle.

Sleep.
From the London Express.

+ rom the LONDON Express.
The first sleep is the soundest-after the
first hour the intensity OF sleep slowly
diminishes-hence the value Of forty winks
after dinner in quickly recuperating shat
tered powers. Temperature and vitality
are lowest at about o'clock am. SO that
two hours sleep before midnight are
worth four thereafter. Nature has no
rule as to the length of sleep, except that
men need less than women, since women
are the more sensitive creatures, and a
womans heart beats five time more in a
minute than a mans. Sleep should be
just SO long that when you wake in the
morning a stretch and a yawn only are
necessary to land you in a daytime of
bounding vigor. AS to early rising, 1t is
comforting to hear DR.. Bryce say 1t is a
habit that has gone far to wreck the con-
situation Of many a growing youth.

Uamlet's insanity.

Address of Sir J. Crchton Browne in London.
Sir. j. Crichton Browne said that hun

not one, as far as he was aware. to
support the quite tenable theory that he
was both. Was it not just possible that.

Volumnia or Mrs. Halter she had rep

Coralie Walton. Vandanhoff said that
the fragile girl could not. at the end

of Ophelia and was actually insane.
1t was question worthy of considera-
ton whether Hamlet. having feigned in
sanity, did not to some extent fall under
it's power. He suggested that Hamlet
became. not mad in any crude sense,
but the victim Of an obsession which
blunted his feelings and impaired his
power of self-control. How else could
we account LOT his lack of any sense
OF responsibility for the deaths of Polo
MUS, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. for
his fear of sending King Claudius to
heaven y killing him while he was
praying, for his brutality to Ophelia, for
his roughness to his mother. for his
haIlucination in the queens closet-for
it did not speak and the queen did not
see it-for his violent behavior at Ophe-
mas grave, for his constant suspicious
ness? 1t seemed as If the fell spirit
he had conjured up to do his bidding had
overpowered him, and must have made a
madman of him outright but for Laertes'
poisoned rapier.

The Artist and His Work.

From the London Times.
The great artists, like the great heroes,
have always done whatever came to hand.
Michaelangelo grumeled and said he was
a sculptor when Julius II set him to paint.

Chapel. Shakespeare chafed at the popu-
larity of the fool in the drama of his
time, and then produced the fool in
Lear If either of them had waited for
perfect conditions and an inspiration I'M
trammeled by circumstance he would
have done nothing. They produced mas
terpieces because they made the best of
things as they were And this is the BUSH
ness of the artist in life.

from baptism and the Lords supper.
DR.. Cecil was in favor of missionaries
exercising discretion in extending
membership to heather polygamists,
claiming that great hardships would re-
suit from requiring heathens to desert
all but one wife and one family. DR..
BOggS met this with the statement that
it was the duty of the church to care
for these cast-offs.
DR.. Boggs opposed the church's con-
tinuing to allow 'willful desertion as
a cause for divorce. At the same time
he recommended an amendment of the
confession. so as to allow the guilty
party in adultery divorces, upon
pentance to the church. to remarry. He
claimed there was nothing in the Scrip
ture forbidding this. Dr. Cecil opposed
both recommendations.
