The curse Is Isolation The healing Is

merge Into mankind they become sound
The deepest joys are the joys common
to the race
All pain is individual; there is no world.
sorrow.
The lonely become sensitive, their vanity
becomes sore. their corners and cranlkiness
increase, they grow sour, perserve, peey-
ish.
Pessimism is form of loneliness. All
pessimistic souls cry out that the world
does not understand them, that they are
not appreciated. Whoever strikes the deer
note of joy has simply come into harmony
with the millions.
The struggle of the world is toward
world-unity. The end of all great battles
taken as a whole, is to repress secession
Every castle. clique, clan, sect, ecclesia
nation or party is thing to be at last
Out of the divisions arise hates, grudges
prejudces.
Bitterness is bred of narrowness.
The European shall supplant the Ger
man, French and Italian: the American
shall take the place of the Canadian. Next
can. and the United States citizen: the
Asiatic shall arise upon the disappearance
of the Chinese and the Japanese.
Possibly Il long program, dimly distant
goal, but not SO far off as one might
imagine.
Already the great forces of modern life
are unconditional, are distinctly world
forces. bounded only by humanity.
Commerce. for instance. knows no
language, has no frontier, does not under
stand patriotism.
Science is not English nor French: il

There will never be another language.
The curse Of Babel is disappearing Di-

cialism.
The ocean, which once separated. now
untes the peoples of earth.
The arts, such as music, painting,
sculpture, architecture, are converging
into world significance: the charm of local
color fades before the universal appeal.
Transportation breaks down nation
walls The steam locomotive smas shes
through political barriers.
Communication, the telegraph and
telephone. their line has gone out to all
the earth
over all boundaries scars the flying
machine.
The creed of the adulthood of humanity
will be that there is but one mankind.

From Worlds Work.
India's trade has increased during the
last half century from S300.000,G00 to
more than s1,4O0,OOO.OOO. 1t has in
operation $4,000 miles of railroad
which places India fourth in the world
in it's railroad mileage, carrying $780,
000, 900 passengers yearly at the rate
of five miles for j cent. 1t maintains
&C, 900 miles of telegraph line, over
which messages can be sent for more
than 1000 miles at a cost of only IL
cents.
India is now the largest exporter OF
rice in the world, holds first place in
It's exports of tea, next to Argentina is
the largest exporter of hides, and next
to the United States is the largest eS-
porter of cotton in the world. Next to
the United States and Russia 1t is the
largest wheat-producing country. The

5000 men, have laid down lyon in San

Inda's system of irrigation stands
easily first in the world being far more

than 100000 acres of land, and

Gutter Babies.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The gutter babies" of London are
becoming immune to ordinary diseases,
according to the annual health report
Of the worlds greatest city. Condi-
dren, says the report, leave the infants
in London's worst slums unaffected.
They not only manage to exist, they
even thrive under these conditions.
This immunity of the gutter babies
does not cheer the British health au-
thorities, however, for it does not miti-
gate the problems of the slums in the
least. The baby. who from the mo-
ment it was born has been exposed to
circumstances that tougher" it, that
ease caused by filth and insanitary
living. is the sort of a baby that is
likely to be tough mentally and morally
as we'll.
Progress and civilization have been
in the direction away from the tough
ening process We are today not try
ing to harden people to physical dis
case. We are not trying to accuStom
them to typhoid, for instance. We real
iTe thar progress lies in the direction
of wedding out typhoid and Of pre-
venting disease. The immunity Of slum
babies in London and in all other cities
where slums are prevalent may be
looked upon as one of the freaks of
nature. but it must have no effect what
ever on society's attitude toward Sums
The war against unhealthy congestion
and filthy tenements in modern cities
must go on undated. Immunity to-
ward slum conditions no civilized peo-
pie can afford to cultivate.

MANS SANITY DOUBTED.
Edwin A. Bauer, Supposed to Be
From Cincinnati, Held Here.

Mai. Sylvester has asked the Cincinnati
police to ascertain something of the iden-
titv of Edwin a. Bauer. thirty years old.
who visited the office of the chief of the
secret service this morning, claimed he
was an agent in the service and said he
was on lrind to surrender his possessions.
Bauer refused to disclose what his
possessions were, but the police think he
referred to his knowledge of criminals.
THE other agents have been making a
! target of my head" said the man from
Cincinnati.
He said he would not discuss his af-
fairs with any person other than a repre-
sentative of the secret service. and when
introduced to one of them he promptly
suggested that his mind had become a
blank.
