Darwin and Man.

Man is a thinking animal, because
he is a conscious animal, writes w. P.
Pycraft in the Illustrated London
News. It is his consciousness Of him
self and his surroundings that has
placed him outside the operations OF
his animal and physical environment.
The lower animals depend for their ex-
iistence on their ability to respond to
the conditions imposed by their physi-
cal environment and their powers of
adaptability to their animal environ
ment-the struggle to obtain food, to
avoid enemies. and so on. For them
there is indeed a struggle for exist
ence." But the struggle for exist
ence" has nothing to do with human
progress. For man is a thinking and
,scheming animal. He lives by his wits.

A Ruined City.

Among the many ruined cities of
Mexico dating back to remote ages is
Militia, of unusual interest to the sight
seer. The name is a contraction or
corruption of the word Mictlan, mean
ing stHe place of death" The modern
village and the ancient ruins occupy
the center of an arid plain or valley,
surrounded on all sides by equally
arid hills, on the highest summit of
which are the well-preserved remains
of a great fortress. The walls are of
rough construction and without orna-
iment of any kind. Nearly in the center
of the plain five great groups of build
iings stand out completely exposed.
Many of them are now nearly shape
less mounds and masses OF ruins. Two
groups, however, are in a state Of COM
Iparatively good preservation, third is
incorporated with an old church, and
a fourth, the sacrificial mound, Is sur
mounted by the ruins of very ancient
church.

". Wheat bread was a rarity and
sweet potato coffee was relished by
the adults. One evening it was cur
rently reported that the enemy would
open fire all around the line early the
next morning, and an officer had per-
suaded Hiss Lightcap, a young
lady friend and neighbor, who was
in the cave with us, that they would
be safer nearer the lines under the
cover of tile hills. Mother consented
to go, so up came the tent, large
basket was quickly packed with the
meager stock of provisions, and away
we went across Glass Bayou bridge,
climbing the hill on the other side of
the bridge late in the evening and
travelling the road just behind our bat
teries, where all along were dug
trenches for our soldiers to fight be-
hind. This was a very dangerous route
by daylight but under cover of night
we felt safe. The mortars were 81
lent, resting, as all thought, for the next
days work. When the command was
given to stop the tent was pitched in
a kind of a rayine near the lines. Sew
eral tents were pitched there occupied
by families living near by. Mother
and Miss Lightcap spread down COM
forts and we all huddled in the tent
TO sleep. Just about daylight we were
aroused by the belching cannon anC
before We could think where we were
a cannon ball that had spent its force
on the side OF the hill came rolling
into the tent The young lady screamed
as it rolled upon her, and in less time
than it takes to tell 1t we were
all up and out of the tent. Balls were

PROUD RECORD MADE BY
GRAND ARMY IN PEACE
Marvellous Development of the Country
May Be Dated From the Return
of the Veterans From Their
Hard-Wen Fields ef


nn HE GRAND ARMY OF the Re
public is but 3 remnant Of the
Union army which passed
through Washington In the
grand review at the close OF the war,
but it is a remnant eloquent In remi-
niscence and prophetic of the future
of the nation. There were timid souls
then whose .consciences assumed more
responsibility for the public welfare
than their courage could support, who
feared the consequences OF releasing
q million men from military discipline,
and who would have placed restraints
upon all in the interest of the general
welfare. But these soldier-citizenS
went home and into the industrial.
commercial and professional life
where they had left off to go to war.
or they went into the great West TO
conquer the plains and the mountains,
gridiron the new country with rail-
roads to carry back to the East the
rich harvests they gRrnered, and added
one of the most romantic chapters to
American history by building new
empire where they had been taught
as Schoolboys to look for the Great
American desert and the impossible
barrier nature had planted to warn
our people never to be tempted to try
TO extend their dOminions beyond the
Rocky mountains.
But these men, who had seen four
years of war, had learned that there
was no uncomfortable deserts and no
impossible barriers for those who
have the courage to venture and go
forward with intelligence and indom-
liable will. 1t was a member of the
Grand Army who became the chief en-
gineer of the Union Pacific railroad,
which bound the two coasts together
with bands of steel. It was member
of the Grand Army who explored the
arid regions and projected the recla-
nation Of that region years before con-
gress authorized the work, and he Sc
lected the very sites where the govern
ment built the big dams to impound
the waters which make the desert
bloom like a rose garden. They were
men from the Grand Army who made
Iowa and Kansas, Nebraska and Min
nesota great agricultural states and
great political units in the nation.
This remnant of the Grand Army IL
Illustrates the courage, adaptabilfty and
self-controI of the average American,
who can be a peaceful citizen, then a
soldier and again a citizen, to devote
his energies, aided by his experience
in military life, to the greater develop
ment of his country. They fell out of
the ranks in business and in politics,
and the members of the Grand Army
took their places in the halls of con-
gress to legislate for the new condi-
lions and occupied the White House
to execute the laws. More than half
the years since 1865 have seen menu
bers OF the Grand Army in the presi-
dents chair, and their administrations
were conspicuous as years of great
progress and great glory for the ma
ton,
