SEE THINGS TOO CLEARLY
Erasmus ls Pointed Out by
Writer.

Erasmus is an inexhaust1bly inter
esting historical parsonage. because
he is more than that; he Ii a type as
old as civilization. He is not to be
COMPOUNDED with the Hamlets and
Amiels, whom he specifically resem-
bles. Their disease is. impotence Of
will; their weakness, tie lack of the
courage of imperfection, the courage
to do their best, however inadequate
the means, however uncertain the is-
the Erasmians is an intellectual one.
They are blinded by excess of light.
They see too clearly both sides Of ev-
cry question to commit themselves to
either. They lack the sublime "aban-
DON with which simpler and usually
less enlightened spirits throw them
selves into causes which they only
half comprehend. Naturally the prac-
tical world cannot do away with such
hair-splitting. The Erasmfans are adj
jured> to act, without too much regard
for past causes or future results. They
are said to lack faith, and, in truth,
they are essentially skeptics. To
them, only an adumbration Of truth Is
within the reach of finite minds, and
they are unable to become violently
energetic for an adumbration. They
have the penetration of Disraeli, with
out drawing his practical inference.

That even in man instinct is some

There had been shipped on Missis-

glass cover containing a very active

preached the box the serpent would
strike the cover. The owner OF the
reptile challenged anyone to hold his
finger on the glass and let the rattler
strike at it. There was no danger and
it seemed an easy thing to do. First
one and then another tried II but
when the snake gave its vicious spring
the finger was invariably drawn back
with a jerk. Instinct was stronger

A young man in Paris had lost his

On the way there was a great commo-
ton caused by the escape of a lion
from a strolling menagerie. The ami

TENEMENT DYNAMITED.
Nine Homes Wrecked Twenty OF
Thirty Persons Believed te
Have Been Killed.

Montreal Oct. 21.-Shattered by
a dynamite explosion, a large tene-
ment building in Frontenac street,
containing nine homes, collapsed last
night, burrying all the occupants in
the ruins. While many escaped with
slight injuries, it is feared the dead
may number 20 or 80. s.
The explosion is said to have been
a deliberate act of a band of Austrian
laborers, who had quarreled over the
war with Russians in the building
and had been turned out.
At the time of the explosion near
ly ali families in the tenements were
at supper. Windows were broken
nearly a mile away and balconies
and other woodwork from houses IN
other streets torn from housefronts
and demolished.
The escape of most Of the tenants
from death is considered remarkable
as the interior of the house was
wrecked from cellar to roof.
Paul Belanger and Joseph Lafren-
iere, who were passing along From
tenac street at the time, told the po-
lice they saw two men, who looked
like foreigners, carry large round
object into one of the doorways OF
the block.
An instant later a terrific explosion
occurred and the body of one OF
the men was hurled back on the
sidewalk. The other man did no5
reappear and is supposed to have
been buried in the ruins.
