Destructive Man.

An English scientist, Sir Ray Lan- wester, says that civilized man is the most active instrument of destruction that has ever appeared on earth; that he has burned up forests, produced deserts, polluted rivers. He says that the most repulsive of the destructive results of human expansion is the poisoning of rivers and the conse- quent extinction of fish and nearly ev- cry other living thing that is in them He predicts sterility to meadows and hillsides drenched with nauseating chemical manures from factories. The New York Medical Record speaks in like fashion and says that these words of the British scientist should awake an echo on this side of the Atlantic, for in no country of the world have the beauties of nature been so wan tonly defaced as here, and in no land have the rivers and lakes been so pol luted to satisfy the greed of the indi- vidual. Added to this is the disaster that will certainly come to the masses for such fragrant disregard of the health of the people.

Kind Mans Own Trouble Lost in Con temptation of Woe in Store for
 "Old Biges."

Lady Constance Stewart Richard son, who has come to America to dance because she is, as she puts it, stony broke" said the other day:
 Some of my happiest hours have been passed in America. The Ameri- cans are the kindest people in the world. When I think of them, l am reminded of George Grave.
 Everybody has heard stories of the meanest maxwell, George Grave was known as the kindest man.
 "One of the stories about Georges kindness tells how a friend asked him:
 How is Biggs Doing?'
 Bad George replied. Very bad, indeed. Poor old Biggs!'
 "'Why, what's the trouble with him?'
 Why, you see,' said George, I've had my salary reduced on account of the hard times, and so I'll only be able to lend Riggs half as much as usual this year for his vacation.

Somersault by Aero oplane,

Capt. Aubry of the French army Is said to have accomplished a complete somersault while aboard an aeroplane high above the earth. q was return ing after a thirty-ive minute flight" the captain says, facing a wind of about twenty-two miles per hour. My altitude was about 2,500 feet. At the moment of descent a series of violent gusts struck the machine. As dipped the nose of the machine couple of quick gusts struck the top of the main planes and placed me in a vertical position. While endeavoring to ma nipulate the elevator, 1 found the ma chine had taken me in a perfectly yer tical chute to less than 1,500 feet. It here adopted a horizontal attitude up- side down and proceeded to effect a tail first volplane." Continuing, he says "The machine then gradually took up the vertical position again, de- scribing a gigantic S while doing so. Flattening out, I flew to a spot about two miles distant"

William C. Redfield, the new secre- tary of commerce, began making his way in the world at fifteen. At that age he was employed as clerk in the Pittsfeld (Mass.) postoffice at three dollars week. His next step was as salesman for a paper company From Pittsfield he went to New York, secur- ing similar place with paper house.

London Bus Vanishing.

In view of the inquiry now. in Nog- ress in London in connection with the citys motor traffic, including the ques- tion of the motor bus, it is of inter- est to note that while in 1903 there were $500 horse 'busses plying the streets of the metropolis this number has now been reduced to 100, and it is expected that by the beginning of 1914 the horse bus will have finally van- ished. Richard Filling, whose we'll known firm started the famous Till ing 'busses in the year of the grea1 exhibition with a single one-horse om- nibus, recently stated that there win not be single omnibus horse seen in London by the end of this year. Old horse 'busses are now used as bunga- lows and cricket pavilions, and though the average original cost of each was $700, they are now sold for about S15 a piece.

When Matthew Arnold was a school examiner a fellow inspector of class of girl pupil-teachers asked Arnold to examine for him. Arnold gave each mark.

If from the average man you wish to
 win respect or admiration, There is a way that never fails, no mat
 ter what your occupation; You may engage in deals that look
 tride shady or suspicious; You may get on by hook or crook and
 cling to habits that are vicious, But you may cause the average man to
 humby pay you his addresses By having just a little more than he
 possesses. You may not have the taste that spells
 experience and education; It may be that you have not gained a
 very lofty station: You may have little grace or wit and
 claim the eoarsest boor's ambition, You may be totally unfit for any promi-
 nent position, But by your neighbor you can be ap-
 pauded envied and admired If you have just little more than he's
 acquired
 If Brown has more than Foster, Brown
 stands high in Fosters estimation, And Foster, though his merit shines,
 from Brown gets small considera-
 ton;
 For men have but one standard which
 they use in measuring each other; He who has managed to get rich is still
 awed by his richer brother; So If you wish to be esteemed put all
 things else aside and labor To be a little richer than your richest
 neighbor.

RAMPANT RACE PREJUDICE.

Northern Paper Exposes Jimcrowism
In National Government Service.
The spirit of Americ;l and its inStl-
tutions which declares that neither
creed nor color shall he the measure
of man and his opportunity is
strange and an alien thing in Wash
ingtom today. In its place j. preju
dice. narrow and sectional. and this
prejudice rules III offices in which ev-
cry employee has obtained his place
through competitive examination and
has won by merit alone the right 10
work in the service of his government
says the Philadelphia Press.
For the first time in its history the
jimcrow hlw of the south has invaded
the department work mt Washington
This is the law which says that the
one distinction to be made. the one
line to be draw is that of color. II
prescribes the place and the limits
which each race shall occupy. 1t for
bids them to occupy the same quar-
iers
The southern Democrats who come
to official Washington have always
brought with them. the race feeling OF
their section. They have showed II
when occasion arose. 1t has never
been concealed. But until now it has
not been permitted to stalk abroad and
ride roughshod 'over the usases ana
the practice or years. Never before
has it interfered with the work of the
government as it was being carried
on at Washington. Occasionally there
have been instances of individual race
feeling in the departments. but tins
has always been promptly squelched
by the cabinet officer in charge when
ever it showed its head.
Now settled plan and policy have
been adopted Those of one race shall
no longer do their work in the saine
room with those OF the other. 1t mat
ters not that their work is OF the same
grade and character. that the method
of performance is equal in merit. that
the efficiency is the same. The law OF
the south that says to the man of one
race Thou shalt" and to the man Of the
other race Thou shalt not is now ex-
tended to the offices of the govern
ment.
This has not happened casually. 1t
is the result of deliberation. The head
of the administration cannot say that
he knows nothing of it A thorough
inquiry was made when first the
charge of race separation was made
The inquiry was made by men who
are friendly to the president and we'll
wishers of his administra tiop. 1t was
thorough, and it was fair. The yer
.. dict was guilty, given regretfully. but
with no uncertainty.
One by one the departments have
fallen into line and kept step to the
new and backward march. In the
great workshop of the nation. conduct
ed and supported by the funds OF the
government, where the only entrance
is by the door of civil service exa,ni

means. And not until the rule of
Woodrow Wilson has this thing been
done.
