Unity of the Universe.

According to the Spencerian view,
the universe As a complex unity
which. when reduced to it's ultimate
ANALYSIS. is seen to be one fact-the
redistribution of matter and motion
all phenomena being complex aspects
OF that one fact Under the name OF
evolution Spencerianism undertook

TO soul, has passed. by a process OF
development. from the simple to the
complex through successive integra-
tiens and differentiations. For con-
venience phenomena are divided into
ions-astronomy, geology, biology,
psychology. and sociology-but the
process is one. and the law of the
process is one. Evolution is one in
principle and fact.-Hector Macpher.

Souvenir of Florida.

A young woman who recently re-
turned from a trip 20 Florida brought
with her as a souvenir small cocoa
nut shell on which human face had
been roughly carved with a few
strokes of a knife. This carving was
said to have been the work of a
Seminole Indian, and on this repre-
sentation the young woman had
bought the shell; but she was beset la
ter by some doubts as to the au-
thenticity of the claim. She therefore
asked well-known collector of Indian
rios if he thought the carving really
had been made by Seminole Indian.
He examined carefully the faintly-out-
lined face and handed the shell back
to her with the verdict: Very likely II
was. My only reason for questioning
it would be that | am not sure a Sem
mole would do that much work"

FATAL RESULT
OF EXPLOSION
Eight Miners Are Killed in Mine
and Lives of Four Members OF
Rescue Party Snuffed Out.

BLUEFIELD, w. Va, Dec. 10
Explosions Of gas in the Greene
mine, near Tacoma, Va, Wednesday
morning entombed eight miners and
when Superintendent Barrowman and
three bank bosses went to their res
cue four more lives were snuffed ou

Wednesday night ten blackene6
bodies were taken from lower leve'

hundreds of women and children

identified, among them being Superin-

life in the cause Of his employees.
The explosion was due, it is said, t.
the opening of gas seal on one of
the levels. Following the report Of
the first explosion James Barrow

and three bank bosses, rushed to thu
mine and ordered the car lowered L

Knott and his wife have been mar

MARKETS

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Wheat: Yes
terday was a bull day in the entire
grain list. Bull leaders bought
enough wheat to start a little ad-
vance and the short sellers Of the
week not having made much head
way, were quick to cover on the
advance. Members who came here
from the Northwest yesterday say
there 81 a liberal movement Of wheat
rom farmer elevators. 1t looks like
4 half million bushels increase in
stocks at Minneapolis and a liberal
Increase at Duluth. While the vol
Ime of trade is light the bull leaders
IAN, no doubt, force temporary adj
vance if they stand under the mar
let, but the judgment of careful trad
ers is that the swell will be only tenn
pOrary and that without a change in
the character of the news from The
Argentine the heavy tone will soon
return to the trade.
Corn-Three days break in cash
corn prices shut out country offer
ings, gave lighter run, caused cash
prices to recover a half cent and nat
urally shorts covered for all months.
The upturn of nearly one cent was
better than anybody looked for. Much
Of the local short interests was elm
mated. The market for few days
may depend on heavy or light coun-
try offerings. 1t looks as if the
movement will be sufficient to greatly
increase the stocks of corn here be-
fore the end Of as:oIher week, and
without Southern demand Of import
ance the situation is likely to con-
tinue heavy, but subject to tempo
rary recovery like that Of yesterday.
Oats-We feel that oats will show
a little stubborness in cash and De-
cember contracts through this month.
but the late months are likely to show
weakness as soon as the edge Is eff
the corn market.
Provisions-Gelt says 10000 hogs
against $4,000 and 10000 last year,
Prices of hogs yesterday showed
packing profit for the first time this

disappointed in the action Of the
provision market yesterday and went
short. We cannot only say regard

FATAL MISTAKE
OF PHYSICIAN
One Child Is Dead and Another Dying
as a Result of an Overdose Ct
Poison.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 49,
An overdose of atropine sulphate
caused the death OF Johnnie Staley.
aged 6, Wednesday. 1t was prescribed
by mistake by an inferno at the city
dispensary. Chester Staley, younger
brother of the dead boy, took "a dose
Of the same drug, and is in a critical
condition. According to the state
ment of Mrs. C. J. Staley, the mother,
she went to the dispensary for medi-
cine for the two children.
Mrs. Staley said the inferno tol /
her to give the older boy seven drops.
Mrs. Staley had no medicine dropper.
but carefully dropped the medicine
from the bottle into glass filed with
water for Johnnie. Chester was re-
belliOus. and said he did not want to
take any "bad medicine"
"Watch me take it, Ches,' said
Johnnie. "Pll show you how to get
it down."
With one gulp he swallowed the
bitter dose. Chester demurred, and
according to the mother, in resisting.
swallowed only a part of the dose
containing five drops. His childish
resistance probably saved his life.
In accounting for his mistake in
giving an adults dose to child, the
inferno said that during the night be-
fore he had been nervous. He arose
and obtained textbook on prescrip
lions, and attempted to study until
he was sleepy. He said that he re-
membered when Mrs. Staley called of
reading the atrOpine prescription just
before he finally fell asleep, and he
duplicated for her the prescription
he had read
