Civilizinu the Indian.

The following is from THE Soul of
the Indian" new book by Dr. Charles
Alexander Eastman. himself an Indian,
from the press of Houghton Miffltn
company:
Long before ever heard Of Christ,
or saw a white man, l had learned
from an untutored woman the essence
of morality. With the help Of dear
nature herself she taught me things
simple but Of mighty import knew
God. l perceived what goodness is.
saw and loved what is really beautiful.
Civilization has not taught me any
thing better
LAS a child l understood how to
give; have forgotten that grace since
became civilized. l lived the nat
ural life, whereas I now live the ar
tificial. Any pretty pebble was valu-
able to me then; every growing thing
an object of reverence. Now l wor-
ship with the white man before a
painted landscape whose value is paint
ed in dollars! Thus the Indian is re-
constructed, as the natural rocks are
ground to powder and made into artifi-
cial blocks which way be built into
the walls of modern society"

Man Should Live 100 Years

What is the natural age to which
men would live If they were blest with
the Sound mind in the sound body"
that dream Of all hygienists from the
time of Epicurus and before?
Metchnikoff, the ingenious and start
Iingly' original director of the Pasteur
institute in Paris, has placed the nat
ural age of man at 120 years. The
great Partisan scientist does not put
out this assertion as an opinion or
theory, but as a plain fact Man
should live 100 years, and if you have
the courage and persistence to follow
Metchnikoff through the work he has
been doing for many years in one Of
the worlds most celebrated centers of
science, you will probably be con-
WINGED Of the truth Of his bold an
nouncement.
1t Is needless. however, to spend half
ones life in laboratory to satisfy
ones self that Metchnikoff is right A
little hard thinking will do it, if we
can only be persuaded to sit up and
make due note Of the marvels that are
going on about us every day, and
which for the most part we let slip by
without taking in them the least spark
OF interest.
In the twelve months last past there
died in this country at least five per-
sons who had reached the age assert
cd by Metchnikoff to be the natural"
age Of man. Five persons, during the

Constantinople Is admittedly the
most strategic city "a the world So
1t was no small event when it fell be-.
fore tho irresistible forces Of TWEEN
tieth century civilization. The Young
Turk victory was hardly the nicely
calculated scheme often represented;
rather it was a few leaders taking adj
vantage of a resistless conquest by
the spirit of the times. -
What the New Regime Means. p, i
With the significant details of the
new conditions in Turkey I shall deal
in subsequent articles; here want
to present the broad outline.
Approaching Constantinople by wa
ter one finds it still as of yore, the
fairest work of man that anywhere
greets the travellers eye. Above the
red-roofed houses, unmarked by the
smoke-stacks of modern industry, rise
the graceful minarets. On q COM
handing position on one of the seven
hills of old STEAMBOAT, St. Sophia
keeps guard, now mosque, but the
oldest building in existence dedicated
to Christian worship, and more mag
nif1cent than st. Peters in Rome, or
St. Pauls or Westminster Abbey in
London, or Notre Dame in Paris, or
the gaudy Don In Berlin, or historic
st. Stephens in Vienna. Greeks, Ar
menians and Roman Catholics dream
and prophesy of the day when, the
cross will once again shine above St.
Sophias great dome, and the power
of Christendom will be supreme on the
Bosphorus.
Adjoining st. Sophia's the traveller
sees the Seraglio, where tragedies
beyond count have been enacted. The
palaces, the fast scurrying caiques,
and the latticed windows of the
harems of Turkish houses all pass in
review; it is beautiful and unparal-
lelled picture.
If he arrives by rail, the traveller
beholds the ancient walls of old Con.
stantinople, and is quickly introduced
to the filthy odors and disorder of the
