Simple Words Too Profound For Hu-
man understanding.
o.-Can there be two kinds of infini
ties or two Infinite spaces7
A.-The writer Of this question must
decide. The nearest star is distant
twenty-five trfilioh miles: Write row
Of units HILL. to the star and let
each unit represent one mile; then the
distance represented by a line of rs
twenty-five triliion miles long. sub
merges all human powers OF fmRgina-
ton. But write row of 222222.. twen-
ty-five trillion miles long; then the
number Of miles represented would be
twice as great. Then write q row Of
990890... equally long. and the distance
expressed would be nine times as great
as that represented by the rs.
But no human can think OF the dis.
lance expressed by the Is. Let the
first row of figures extend twenty five
trillion or fifty or a thousand trillion
miles to the east: then row could be
extended toward the west. Many mil
lions Of. years would be required to
write the long rows. Suppose that
you write 9's both ways during thou
sand million years each. Then the dis
lance in miles would be thinner than
a spiders thread when compared to
an infinite distance.
There are possibly fifty persons now
living able to think one new thought
They are the mighty Of the earth. and
are all trarscendent mathematicians
Not one Of these even tries to begin to
think Of infinity or eternity. They all
know better. Only the superficial

question, for l cannot even hope to Sc

FOUR SOULS EACH.
Curious Beliefs Of the Savases Of West
Africa.

Curious Beliefs Of the Savages Of West
Africa.
West African religion is particularly
generous to the human beings. to each
Of whom 1t allots several souls, four
being the usual number. Only one is
immortal. however. The others. though
troublesome enough during the own
er's life, cease to be at the same time
as the body. They are the shadow
soul, the dream soul and the bush soul.
One soul seems more than many OF
rs can manage, but the poor African
has a bad time between the four of
them. He never knows when some
enemy may plunge knife into his
shadow, thus causing him to sicken
and die. or when his bush soul, which
takes the form of an animal, may rush
into danger and get hurt, and. as for
his dream soul. that is particularly
troublesome, as it wanders from his
body during sleep and runs the risk OF
being caught by witch traps. When
this happens its place is often taken
by a nasty stranger spirit called
'tsisa." which seems to have no other
object but to cause misfortune and
sickness to the being who forms IT'S
temporary habitation.
Most Of the tribes have the idea OF
an underworld after death, neither
heaven nor hell, but much like the ex-
listing world, only DINNER. Among the
Tschwi tribes this idea Is well defined.
Their shadow world has a name
srahmandayi-and they even know the
way to the entrance, which Is across
the Volta river. This place has It's
markets, its town and its interests, but
everything is felt in more indistinct
way.

An exhaustive up-tO-date study
OF working conditions III New YORK
department stores appears IN the
National Civic Federation Review.
The following is a digest Of the rc-
port. Nineteen firms having -
plants, a total in round numbers OF
3O.O 900 employees, Of whom 22,OoO are
women. opened their stores to The
INSPECTION of the National Civic
Welfare Department, and through
the Retail Dry Goods ASSOCIATION
and at their expense provided the
Investigators with a comprehensive
analysis of their wage scale by g
firm of public accountants. The gen
eral findings may be thus summar-
lied: First, department stores STOW
a practical and growing interest in
the social and physical Wellbeing Of
their men and women employees.
Second, the average wage paid to
women in New York department
stores is "appreciably higher than
the average of factories, mills and
like industries in which women are
employed. Third, the nationally
spread accusation that the low wage
Of women is responsible to large
degree for vice is combated with a
host of obvious authorities. The
claim that Socialism will cure white
slavery by abolishing poverty is eX-
amined. In reply it quotes as fol
lows from woman who has SUI
fered all the horrors Of poverty,
even to sleeping on the sidewalk
with her mother. She says: 1--WE
have the fallen women among the
elite Of the world as we have among
the slums-among the oNerfed as
among the underfed. | can call to
mind ten girls whose confidence |
had. They were all strong women
between the ages Of i8 and -, and
represented different natlona1ltles
and various walks Of life. Of these
ten whom the world classes as fall
len, none became SO through actual
want. Four were fond Of liquor and
immortality followed; two were lazy;
two had loved and been deceived
they lost faith and became reck-
less: two were weak and craved love
and attention. Legitimate channels
were not open to them and the llle-
gitimate followed. Of these ten only
two actually sold themselves, and
these two were the lazy ones.''
Bad companions Of their own sex
bring about the ruin Of many girls.
Henry Herbert Of the Womens Night
Court says that they lure their more
frail sisters by showing off the
finery they have come by 50 easily.
Brigadier Emma J. Breen, super
of the Salvation Army
Womens Rescue Home, says: There
is not the connection between vice
and low wages that there is general
ly supposed to exist. While 10 some
there are women Of loose character
they are not to be considered as
among those degraded through ser
vice. and we are told that some
times they take such employment as
. a cloak to give them social stand
ing. The low wage has an effect on
the general life in a certain way,
but it is not the thing that drives
the girl into an evil life. immortality
is not a thing Of class
On the other hand we read Of the
great care shown by employers to
safeguard the morals of their en-
ployees, which means salvation to
both parties. One store. superinten-
dent says: Putting aside all higher
motives, employers realize that it is
to their best interest to see to it that

MY Life Is Like the Summer Rose

My Life Is Like the Summer Rose
My life is like the summer rose,
That opens to the morning sky,
And ere the shades Of evening close
Is scattered on the ground to die;
Yet on that roses humble bed
The sweetest dews Of night are shed
AS though she Wept such haste to
see,
But none shall weep a tear for me,
My life is like the autumn leaf
Which trembles in the moons
pale ray,
It's hold is frail, its date is brief,
Restless, and soon to pass away.
Yet when that leaf shall fall and fade
The parent tree will mourn its
shade,
The wind bewail the leafless tree;
But none shall breathe a sigh for
My life is like the prints which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand
Soon as the rising tide shall beat
Their race shall vanish from the
sand;
Yet still as grieving to efface
All vestige Of the human race,
On that lone shore land means the
sea;
But none, alas, shall mourn for me!
