What to Do Without Money.

A Chicago daily recently had an
editorial headed, what to Do With
Money" How useless to give people
advice on such a subject! Every
body knows what be would do with
money-if he had it, Even the
street urchin has very definite ideas
on that subject
The problem most OF us have to
solve is Of quite another sort. 1t Is
what to do without money. There's
the rub. 1t is like flying without
wings, walking without legs or
thinking without brains. Some peo-
pie manage to give very good imi-
tation OF that last, but their empty
medicines cannot be concealed from
everybody all the time. 1t is even
harder to conceal the lack of money
than 1t is to conceal the lack Of gray
matter, for the world is quite keen
in its money sense and can read the
financial signs a man unconsciously
hangs out, whereas there are SO
many people short on brains that
they do not notice the mental va
cancies in others. Moreover, they
do not care, One can get along fair
ly well without thought producer
if he only has the money.
OF course, what we all really want
is for somebody to tell us how to get
rich. 1t is feared, however, that no
Chicago editorial writer would be
equal to the task If he were he
would not be writing editorials.
But, in the absence of such advice,
will some wise member of the tribe
tell us what to do without the price?
Fer our humble selves. we know OF
only one thing we can do-work

Traoina the poa,s Descent.

Il gems to be generally accepted by
naGuralists ard tie world al large that
the domestic dos is in some sense a
collateral dc3eendant of the wolf or
iackal says a writer in Iiarpers
Nccl,Iy.
4 professor At the Natural History
Museum in Paris las communicated
results OF his strdy # various canine
skulls to ire academy Of sciences He
appears to have noticed certain per-
culiaritios Of e~owth which have hith-
erto escaped zeolocjgts. lie states that
the skull of almart every species Of
wolf and jacfal differs from the skull
Of tlle shepherd dog to an extent that
makes it impossible that this deg
should belong in the same classitica-
ton. The sltull Of the Indian wolf, on
the contrary, shows some points Of
resemblance This, indeed, is the only
savage canine the toB Of whose head
projects like that of the dog.
There are moreover, other charac-
teristies which the Indian wolf has in
common with the dog, and which the
ordinary wolf does not share with
them. although his origin and that OF
the dog have long been supposed to
be common one.
The conclusion of this scientist IS
that the Indian wolf is the progenitor
of the shepherd dog and the blood
hound. There were two primitive races
Of dogs analogous to these which were
first domesticated in central Asia,
whence they passed to Europe, and
there seems no reason to doubt inst
the bloodhound of today Is the dire t
descendant of the dog spoken Of By
the ancients as 'the dog of the age CT

LOST WITH ALL ON BOARD
Many Ocean Liners Have Disappeared,
Leaving No Survivor to Tell Of
the Disaster.

A writer in Chambers Journal re-
calls the number of vessels which
have from time to time disappeared
mysteriously leaving not single sur
vivor to tell the story.
In the North Atlantic service alone,
between 1871 and 1890, no fever than
"a big steamers were totally plotted
out Of human knowledge, together
with their crews and passengers, num-
beaing 1,451. The President, with
1876 souls on board, was the first of
these to be lost forever in 1871. The
City of Glasgow disappeared in 1854
without leaving trace, and she had
4S0 souls on boad. In 1856 the Pa
ciflc, with living freight OF 240, sail
ed from Liverpool in June, and was
never more heard Of The Tempest,
with 1J0 souls, mysteriously disappear
ed in 1859 The City of Boston, with
40 persons, vanished In 1870. The
Huronian, an Allan liner, disappeared
in 1902; and the British gunboat, Con-
dor, was lost In the Pacific In 1901. In
1898 a cattle steamer, the Naroaic,
with n aboard was lost.
AS to the possible causes OF the
catastrophes, it is only possible to
surnfise. Capsizing, damage from
within, such as explosion, breakdown
Of machinery, or fire; or damage from
without, such as collision with an ice
berk or with derelict hulk, have all
been suggested to explain the losses
Of vessels. The Captain capslzed, and
hundreds of lives We're lost, and 1t
is now generally assumed that the
Warathah capsized by reason Of top
heaviness. AS to the damage to ma
chinery, there Is the case of the City
Of Paris, which had big smash in
one of her engine rooms in 1890. She
was near the Irish coast, but though
both engine, rooms were filed with wa
ter In ten minutes, she was kept afoat
owing to her watertight compartments
for three days till help came to tow
her into Queenstown. In the case Of
a fire, everything, probably, would be
consumed to the waters edge, and II

Helen Keller.

After all, the triumph OF the hu-
man spirit over obstacles is the
supreme victory. 1t is that which
thrills US in tales Of polar discovery,
ITO him that overcometh has a
song OF praise been sung from the
days Of John in Patmos till now.
Let us change the quotation and
make it 'tto her that overcometh. Z
SO paraphrased, it becomes an apos-
trophe to Helen Keller. When in a
woman's frail body has there been
lodged more indomitable spirit?
Deaf. dumb ana blind since infancy,
she has not only learned practically
all the accomplishments of those
with normal senses, but excels in
most Of them, She reads the lips Of
speakers as we'll as the printed page

simple charm and finish for the mae

telephone and from the rostrum.
Greatest triumph of all, she recently
sang to a distinguished audienae
from many lands And she Is still
deaf ana blind
Teachers did most of it, YOU say?
If that be true, why have they not
worked the miracle with others SC
afflicted Many are born deaf
dumb and blind, but there is only
one Helen Keller. She is like the
man in gospel narrative who multi
piled his talents She had but three
but see what she has accomplished
with them!
This afflicted girl has taught all
mankind a needed lesson-that the
human spirit is greater than the
things it possesses, even though those
things be the FIVE senses.

GO EASY Oil HEALTH FADs
Trouble Is That They Cannot Be
Made to Suit tho Physical Make
Up CT All People.

Cleveland Is the home of the new
est fad. The Ohio city has a Keep
Well' club composed of persons who
believe in restricting Indulgence in
food. They fast now and then from
week to month, Oae apostle Of
the cult declares he has found abound
ing health In a diet of eight quarts Of
milk daily for eight months.
1t may be that this foodless life is
beneficial to some CIeYelaAders. It is
probably also true that many people
in other citles-perhaps even some in
Detroit-eat too much, particularly in
the summer time. Bat it is equally
probable that many imitators OF The
cult will starve themselves beyond
the endurance point of weak hearts
and so commit virtual suicide.
It is just at this point that so many
health, beauty, and nostrum fads te-
come so deadly and so damaging.
Every wellinformed person knows
that wise medical practitioner when
called to attend a sufferer, must try
TO adjust his remedies to the physical
powers and idiosyncrasies of the pa
tent. The remedy which acted like
magic in the case of Jones who had
la grippe may prove useless and actu-
ally dangerous to Smith, owing to
some disturbance of Smiths digestion,
weakness of his heart, or what not.
So with health fads. Hence, before
becoming any sort Of faddist see
your family doctor.-Detroit Free

woman in the Christian world WHO
ever wore it at once naturally and
with that tough of coquetry which Is
necessary to carry it off, az far as this
writer's personal observation goes,
was Nine. Dleulafoy, and Nine Dieul'
afoy was protected by the French
government and an exclusive circle.
"Bloomers proved too much for
even the courage of dear Miss An

the campaigns will be financed more

My suggestion was only that the

contributions, end this is a matter
Of convenience to the banks and TO
