tween them and all males, he is for

that in the higher regions of the Him

earth extends to the highest plateaus
and mountains, except when perpet-
ually frozen. 1t may also exist on the
planet Mars, which has moderate
temperature, as shown by the forma-
ti0n Of clouds in the twilight belt, after
the sun has set for the Martians.
The probability Of Venus being in
habited Is much grenter than that of
Mars, for Venus rotates in % hours u

they are shorter, the year being 225

without injury it seems certain that he
could live and flourish physically un-

Lord Brampton, were great friends
They were at supper together one
evening discussing the events of the

giving the man he had been trying
fifteen years because he deserved 1t.
AS Toole was leaving he blandly In
qulred:
"Oh, would you mind calling at the
newspaper offices and telling them
about that fifteen years? 1t will be a
tip for them-exclusiv information,
you know-aud will do me no end of
good with the press"
Good gracious! No, slr!" exclaimed
the judge, who took the precaution of
accompanying Toole to his hotel and
seeing him safely to bed.

GLOOMY CARLYLE.
His Pessnism and His Wonder at the
Optimism of Emerson.

His Pessinnism and His Wonder at the
Optimism Of Emerson.
Thomas Carlyle's friendship with
Ralph Waldo Emerson is matter of
history, but Charles Eliot Norton tells
in his published letters that Carlyle
marveed at the optimism Of the Amer.
lean philosopher. Writing in 1878,
Norton says "As we were sitting to-
gether just after my coming in this
afternoon, Carlyle spoke of Emerson.
There's great contrast between
Emerson and myself. He seems vera
content with life and takes much sat
isfaction in the world especially in
your country. One would suppose to
hear him that ye had no troubles there
and no share in the darkness that
hangs over these old lands. It's a
vera strikin' and curious spectacle to
behold man so confidently cheerful
as Emerson in these days.
"I agree with ye in thinkin' that the
times that are comm will be warse
than ours, and that by and by men
may through long pain and distress
learn to obey the law eternal of order,
without which there can be neither
justice nor real happiness in this warld
or In any other. The last man in Eng
land who had real faith in 1t was
Oliver Cromwell. ,..
well, it may be as you say. I'm
not such u vera bloody minded old
villain after all there a cordial laugh,
not quite so horrid an ogre as some
good people imagine. But the warld
is vera black to me, and I see nothin'
to be content with in this brand new,
patent society of ours. There's nothin'
to hope for from 1t but confusion"

DR.. Charlton Wallace once investi-
gated with great care 400 cases of hip
joint disease tuberculosis of the dip.
He found that of this number 70 per
cent came of tuberculous families or
had lived in houses where there had
been known cases of active tubercu-
losis within year. In both cases the
explanation was the same-exposure to
infection. When the tubercle germ
cannot murder victim it does its best
to cripple him. The only safeguard is
to make sure personally that your
house does not harbor this greatest Of

GAMING THE cuLPRIT.
The Marks It Leaves Look Worse Than
the Whaling Feels.

The Marks It Leaves Look Worse Than
the Whaling Feels.
In London police court recently a
teacher in a public school was prose-
cuted for assaulting pupil by Gaming
him. The magistrate decided that he
had not used undue violencc and there
fore discharged the master.
In this case the father of the boy
who had been caned took him to a
physician on the evening of the day
of his castigation and this doctor found
about fifteen wheals on the lads back.
This was evidence of severe punish
ment, but the magistrate considered it
was not too severe for the offense
which had caused it. and said that
parents had formed an exaggerated
opinion Of the amount of force that
had been used.
Commenting on this the London Ian
Get says
"a blow from cane causes at the
time an appreciable amount of pain
(Which, by the way, is what it is in
tended TO do), but 1t leaves behind q
mark quite out Of proportion In its
formidable character to the amount Of
suffering which it causes after the first
sting has been endured. If any one
doubts this, having perhaps avoided
the opportunity to observe it in the
course of an exemplary boyhood, the
experiment is easily made. Any small
boy will be willing to do his share by
inflicting upon the seeker after truth
a sharp cut or two, the results of
which will no doubt be distinctly felt
for time, but only for about an hour,
while there will be visible on the we'll
protected and tender skin of the back
for some days wheals which would
harrow the heart Of any mother"
In other words, boys back after a
Gaming looks far worse than it feels.
