The Corn Law
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

~ XTY-FOUR years ago the
y plain people of Great Britain
scored one of the greatest
economic triumphs of the ages
the passage through Parliament
of the act known as the Corn
Law"
The campaign leading up to
this famous victory" was one of
the most wonderful in the history
of the platform. Sch meetings
were never seen before and have
never been seen since, meetings of
fifty. seventy-five. hundred
thousand people, worked up to the
highest pitch of interest, an in
terest that came home to mems
business and bosoms in a most
direct, practical and pathetic
fashion. Such subscriptions!-as
much as $4,000 pounds being
raised at single meeting. The
great fund of 1S4S. aggregating
$4,000 pounds C$1,25O,OOO), was
raised like lightning.
Many of the chairmen and
speakers were what they call
common laborers,' but they pos
sessed uncommon Ideas and I'M
common ability in expressing
those ideas. and tney shook old
England up as she had never been
before.
The Corn Law League" or
ganized in March. 1899. entered
into the work with the purity Of
intent and fiery ardor of the old

Crusaders, and never was a great
and noble propaganda blessed
with a more perfect victory. The
interests" fought the league
tooth and nail with fair means
and foul, and the league fought
back.
At last the great day came
June 26, 1S4s-when the Lords
read the bill for the third time
and passed it-passed # because
Of the irresistible pressure that
was brought to bear upon them
by the plain people. By the pro-
visions Of the dill all grain was
admitted into the country practi-
cally free, and the poor mans
bread was no longer in jeopardy.
The mighty spirit OF the league
was, Of course, Richard Golden,
the international man." without
whose genius, fire and persever-
ance the Corn Law bill would
never have Won out. For seven
years, from the foundation of the
league TO the accomplishment Of
its purpose, he worked incessant-
ly, now guiding the councils, now
addressing the meetings, and
everywhere storming mems hearts
by his profound earnestness, and
winning their reason by his cool
unanswerable logic.
As mems ideals get to be more
elevated Golden will become
more and more OF a saint" in
the great Pantheon Of Humanity

Baby's Lessons in
Evolution the Be.
ginning of Prog
ress in the Great
Step of Life.
Child Begins as Quad
ruped and Its Acquire
ment of Erect Attitud
Reveals Its Passag
from the Animal Stage
By GARRETT P. SERVIsS.

XToUR baby is a quadruped!
I Have your noticed that? It
is no more able to stand
erect without the aid Of its hands
than a monkey is. 1t goes on all
fours.
Upon that simple fact you may
build up the whole law Of evolu-
ton, which some persons find 80
difficult to comprehend.
If you doubt that the earliest
human forms resembled those of
the apes and monkeys, who had
the same common ancestor with
us, you can get rid of that doubt
by studying the attitudes of your
baby, and the changes that take
place in its bones and muscles
as it gradually acquires the abil-
ity to stand and to walk freely
about upon its feet
One of the strangest things
and one Of the most illuminating
that science has discovered is the
fact that animals of all kinds, in
GLIDING man, exhibit, during their
individual development, beginning
from the earliest germ of physical
life, the principal stage Of evolu-
ton that their race has passed
through in its slow rise through
the various orders of being.
Ancestral Peculiarities.
Many of the ancestral pecu-
liarities that were possessed by
their remote predecessors show at
the start of their existence, but
disappear, one by one, as they
approach the adult, or full grown
form, that characterizes them at
present.
If you will look into the works
of Huxley, Haeckel, Metchnikoff
and others who have studied and
illustrated the development of the
form of man, you will be aston
ished by the absolute likeness be-
tween the embryo (from Greek
words meaning in the bud") Of 4
human being and that of lower
animal, and you will be yet more
astonished to see how this like
ness vanishes, by successive steps,
as the human form emerges and
the animal characteristics drop
away.
To fully understand the argu-
ments based upon these scientific
Investigations you must have con-
siderable knowledge of anatomy
and physiology. But, if you will
study without any special scien-
tihc knowledge, the daily devel-
opment of your baby, you will
comprehend evolution practically
just as well as if you had gone
through a course of study in hi
ology. And, perhaps, your convic-
ton of its truth viii be all the
stronger.
The baby begins as a quadru-

ped. taking the attitude of its
enormously remote animal ances-
tors, who could not walk erect
because their hip joints (as is stin
the case with monkeys) were so
placed that the center of gravity
of the whole body was ahead of
them. The baby still retains this
pithecoid C"apelike" or monkey
like) characteristic after it has
otherwise become a miniature
man or woman.
But. very rapidly, a change
manifests itself. As the baby
grows the curvature of it's spine
alters in such a way as to bring
the center Of gravity Of the body
not only over the line OF the hip
joints, but even a little back of It.
Tendency to Fall.
This causes, as you win notice
a tendency of the child, when it
first begins to hold itself erect, to
totter and fall backward. Since a
monkey never undergoes the
change in the form OF the spine
which transforms a quadruped
into a biped, 1t can not fall back
ward even when, with the aid of
its forefeet, or hands, 1t gets tt
self into a partially erect attit-
tude. Its center of gravity re-
naming in front of the hip line,
it always comes down face for
ward.
In the case of the baby nature
provides for the backward falling
tendency by the development of
bands of powerful muscles on the
front of the hip joints, which en-
able the human being to hold
himself in balance when he is
standing upright, and which no
other animal possesses. Nothing
is more interesting than to watch
a child gradually acquiring con-
troll OF these muscles. When that
control is acquired, it runs, leans,
jumps and rejoices in the poss s.
sion of the most universally effec-
tive bodily machine that evolution
has yet developed on our globe.
Then, at last, the last monkey
characteristic has disappeared.
Some Resent the Idea.
Some people seem to resent the
idea that the human form takes
Its rise by regular variations and
graduations out of mere animal
shapes, and, for sentimental rea-
sons, persist in rejecting it. But,
rightly considered, this process Of
evolution is the strongest posi-
BILE argument for the existence of
some kind of divinity" in man.
because it shows that, without
violating the laws of nature, he
has been enabled to reach a po-
sition which seems to place him.
in some respects, above nature!

WHEN THE CHILDREN
LOSE THEIR SLEEP

Chief among the causes Of sleenlessness
in children are Indigestion. hunger, fear
/ of the dark, and loneliness. overwork at
school. and too much excitement before
going to bed. Parents Of children who do
not sleep for perhaps several hours after
going TO bed should try to find out wheth-
er one Of these causes Is not at work
The indigestion is mostly of the acid
form.
A small pinch of bicarbonate of soda in
w.neglass OF water. or pepperment wa
ter, will cure 1t. But this should be
only an emergency measure. as the indi-
gestion Will be made worse by repeated
doses.
The proper thing to do is to alter the
diet Tea or coffee may be the cause, or
too much sweet food
Hunger is common, but seldom sus-
pected, cause. A child grows hungry very
soon after meal. and he shou d be given
something light half an hour before bed
time if the last meal has been taken two
TO three hours previously.
A glass of warm milk and a few bis
cults, or a grue of sago and milk, or any
other easily d.gested food will often put
an end to the chi.ds wakefulness.
Overstudy is an increasing cause of
sleepiessness with children. Not only is
their brain tired, but they are anxious
and uneasy about the following days
work. A mother should very carefully
watch the effect of school on her young
children. She should, if possible. allow
no evening lessons in the case of chill
dren under twelve or thirteen years And
at least two hours before bedtime all
books and thoughts of study should be
put away.
In case of fear Of the dark being to
blame, the child should be treated with
sympathy.
While explaining the baselessness of his
fears, he must be humored. A light
should be placed in the room, but not so
as to throw dark shadows on walls or
ceiling. Doors should be left open so
that he may hear the voices and other
sounds in the house.
And If necessary, some one should sit
for while with him, or come into the
room now and again. 4 mother should
find out what the child wants and crafty
him, remembering that he cannot help
beng afraid
Sometimes children lie awake after ex-
citing games carried on close to bedtime
These should be prudently regulated No
stores should be told to chi. .dren the last
thing at night.
When children go to evening parties
they are. of course. greatly excited, and
the nervous ones find it impossible to
sleep. 1t has been said, for this reason,
that entertainment OF this kind is harm
full II they must be UP because of COM
pany or FOR any reason at least let them
sleep the next morning.

GIFTS TO MAKE.

If you haven't begun your Christmas
gifts yet 1t is high time for you to ge,
to work on them. Any woman who has
time and cleverness at her command can
make beautiful gifts at a price so much
less than that charged for them in the
shops that she would consider her time
well spent.
A pair of dainty garters is q suitable
gift for young girl Carriers in pairs,
made Of ribbon and silk and chiffon and
lace in dainty colors, are sold at prices
that seem amazing. For, although the
materials do cost a pretty penny. if the
garters are expensive, still they cost only
small percentage of the price of the
finished product One shop sells a pair
of delightful garters in a small band
box for four and half dollars. The
garters are made of pale pink or blue
satin shrred over elastic and each is
decorated with a little band of small
satin flowers. Another attractive sort Is
made of satin ribbon, shirred over elastic
and edged along the bottom with slightly
gathered. soft cream lace. These garters
should be put in dainty box of some
sort to be at their best.
One of the shops shows table sets of
doilies, as well as big table covers, en-
on willow china. The pieces of table
linen of course, are for use with willow
china Each design shows a waving will
low tree, and two little birds, with bills
touching. darting in the air. In other
details the designs differ. In some there
is a small pagoda, In others gnarled
trees on the banks of little lakes Each
design on the linen is copied from de-
signs on willow-ware china. The linen
is edged either with a hemstitched hem,
or with a scallop worked in blue, the
color used to embroider the willow de-
signs. The work on this linen shown
In the shops is done by machine. The
smallest doilies cost four and half
dollars a dozen. A big round tablecloth
costs twenty dollars.
And the work is machine work at that
but it is beautiful Some of this linen
might be copied. That is to say. any
one who is moderately clever about de-
signing could copy a design from a will
low plate-at least such parts of the de-
sign as were needed-on a plate dolly,
and then could embroider it with blue
cotton. The sort of linen to use is
heavy, firm but not stiff sort. The edges
of the doilies can be scalloped with
small. narrow blue scallop. Lunch cloths
or cloths for the sideboard and serving
table can be hemstitched.
charming little travelling case is made
of satin 1t is cut in the form of cross.
the center square measuring about eight
inches. and each flap having the same
measurement. 1t can be made of two
thicknesses of satin, bound together
about the edge with ribbon. There are
ribbon straps on the inside of the flaps
to hold Il comb and brush, and small
hand mirror and there are little bags or
pockets sewed on the flaps to hold hair
pins and safety pins and other small ar
tieles. Then there is tiny pin cushion
sewed securely in place In the center
square there is a bag for a powder puff,
and two little rubber-lned bags for soap
and wash cloth
