Some parlisans OF final causes have
imagined .isi tho moon was given to
the earth to afford it light during the
night but IN this case nature would
not have attained the end proposed
since we are cften deprived at the
same time of the light OF both sun and
moou To hsve accomplished this end
it would have been sufficient 20 have
placea the moon at first in opposition
TO the sun and in the plane Of the clip
tic at distance from the earth equal
to the one hnndiedth part Of The dis
tance of the earth from the sun and to
have impressed oH the earth aud moon
parallel gelocities proportional 10 their
distances from the sun. In this case
the moon, being constantly in opposi-
ton to The sun, would have described
round it an ellipse similar to that Of
the earth. These two bodies would
then constantly succeed each other.
and as at this distance Ihe moon could
not be ecllpsed It's light would always
replace that Of the sun.-Laplace.

War has had many children since the world
began, the new York Mail remarks. Some OF
them are dead now, but others are alive. wars
first born was slavery. The savage who con-
Ouered his neighbor in the forest killed him as a
matter of course but he made captives OF MS
family and his dependents. and these captives
were slaves BY and by it became so prontaDie
to hold slaves that conquered men were not
killed. but spard for a fate worse than deaIn.
And in the measure that war drove and spread ana
became vaster and more dreadful, slavery spread
and fourished. too 1t was but yesterday tnat
We ended 1t in America; and 1t is not yet gone
from the earth Wars next child was pestilence'
She was hideous! But not so hideous as slavery
She follows war like a shadow. With the wings
of the vulture she hovers over the camp. Born
on the battle field she flies over all the world Tor
that point of vantage, and her victims vastly out
number those of war itself. She is so closely as
sociated with her blood stained parent that 1t Is
probable that If war were no more on the earth
there would be no more pestilence as long as the
world endures Then famine This sister came
later than pestilence and her ravages have been
more dreadful In this age and quarter OF the
world we do not have famine in the same guise
as that in which she visited the middle ages and
stin visits Asia Our people do not die and rot
upon the streets. as in Lucknow or Nanking.
But famine stays longer with us when she comes.

Hatred between peoples, fratricidal enmity. Is

wars legitimate offspring; and deceit. for all is
fair in war, and the student in the military
academy is taught first of all to fool the enemy

And arson and plllage-are they not the children

the ultimate breeding power of war has been
well expressed by one who -said War is the

full today of wars that are merely awaiting their

PROSPERITY CAME IN JUMPS
Good Story From Which Private
John Allen Drew = Rule to
Guide His Conduct

Private John Allen, during his long
service as representative of Mississip-
pi In congress, was importuned- on
one occasion TO make an after-dinner
speech at a banquet at which he was
to be a guest. --.s...--.
MOI" said the private" Il will
make a before-dinner speech but none
after dinner"
When reminded that a before-dIR-
ner speech was quite out Of the or
dinary, and was asked for his rea-
son for desiring to make his speech
before dinner, he told the following
story: Z oI
There was a ne'er-do-well that
lived near Tupelo, my home town,
some years ago named Bill Jones.
Bill had a brother Bob, who had gone
to Texas quite a while before, and
reports said that he was enjoying a
fair share of worldly prosperity.
When a Texan, from the town in
which Bob had located, came to
Tupelo, he looked up Bob, who said
to him: ,
"Tell Bob that have a large fam
lily, and things are against me some
how, and If he can give me little
assistance it will be greatly appre-
ciated." g.. .-,,
He continued on this strain for
some time so that the Texan to re-
lieVe the situation proposed that they
have a drink. The drink was dis
posed of, and Bill was cheered up con-
siderably; began to tell what a good
crop he would have this year, etc,
Another drink was taken with a like
result. and after about the fourth had
been disposed Of, ne slapped the Tex
an on the back and said: .. .g
When you see Bob, you tell him
if he or any Of his friends need any
money. just draw on me for it, and
they will get It,"

AS an example of a money-m aking
enterprise the Suez canal is hard to
beat. The company is restrained by
its charter from making more than q
certain percentage of profit, and one
of the principal worries of the man.
agement is to dispose Of it's surplus
cash. With the best will in the world
only SO much can be spent in main
tenarce and improvements and re-
duced rates generally mean an in
creased income.
That is what has happened now. By
the report read at the annual meeting
held in Paris the other day it was
shown that the companys revenues
during the year which the report COW
cred aggregated $27,762,OOO, an in
crease over the preceding year Of
1856, 900, and so to meet the emer-
gency thus presented another reduc-
ton Of rates was ordered. In this
instance the advance was the more
notable because political troubles had
interfered with the Chinese trade
