Of the Cypriot to load his mule with
all the paraphernalia that can posi-
bly, be induced to hold together, and
then to seat himself on top and guide
the animal by hitting It on the head
with stout walking stick or point
ed prod
The chief disadvantage in riding
mules Is that the stirrups are not fixed
and a sudden pressure on the right
foot will send the left knee up TO the
riders chin, depositing him suddenly
on the ground. Some Cyprus mules
have also habit of planting both feet
on the extreme edge of a precipice
and stretching out their necks to look
at the scene below. All things being
considered, the nervous tourist would
feel happier upon the mountain pom
les, which are strong and surefooted.
And from this II will be seen that
the means Of transit are varied to suit
all tastes. Camels, mules, ponies, car
riages, motors, railways or coasting
ship-what more could heart of Wis
itors desire?

Is the world growing better or is it
growing worse? There is much 10 be
said OF both sides Of this query. Many
wise men think that the moral tone
is lower thai ever. The venerable
Bishop Wilson, Of the Southern Meth
odiSt church, in q recent sermon at
Savannah, said:
harbored such conditions OF vice as
are prevalent in III highest social cir
cles at the present time.
Never at any period of The worlds
history. was the normal strata SO thin
or 50 oW. The wor}d is beset today
with more insane theories and philos-
ophies, more hypocritical creedS, than
eyer before.
The advance Of science and phil
osophy in the study Of the fine infinite
subjects connected with the creation
Of the earth is imper5ltng the religious
welfare Of the world Scientific prog
ress will never disclose the hidden Sc
crets Of the universe. The mystery
which passeth the understanding vii,

through the application OF philoso-
ply"
Bishop Wilson is no pulpit sena-
%tionalist, but is q learned and wise
preacher, of long years and wide ex-
perience. We cannot see the world
through his glasses, for we think the
world grows better though the best
is yet to be-" And yet, when so emf
