BLUM MEANT WELL.
He Was Only Living Up TO the Rules
of His Club.

~ NN8
Under the second empire bores were
so rampant that a sort of society or
club was formed to fight them under
the name Of the "Rachat des Captifs."
II was a mutual aid society, every
member Of which was bound to come
to the rescue of any other in the clutch
es of a buttonholing bore. The signal
of distress was given by unobtrusively
scratching the side of ones nose. and a
colleague on seeing this was expected
to intervene and deliver his friend from
captivity.
The society was so useful and so pop
ular-even humanitarian, 1t may be said
that it fourished exceedingly for
many years and grew rich In members
and subscriptions. Among its mem
beers was the veteran journalist Ernest
Blum, who, however, was rather clum-
sy at his work. he used to relat the
following story:
zone day In passing the Gymnase l
saw two men talking. ! knew n or
them and took off my hat to him.
whereupon he at once scratched bis
nose.

ought to deliver, SO approached and.
not knowing what to say. cried out:

aside, saying: You know | have moth
ing at all to tell you. only wanted to
rescue you. That is ALL Rescue me
from whatY Why. from the bore
What borer The mar you were talk
ing to, naturally But he is my ia
'ther.'"
Poor Blum had CHANGED upon some
body who was not a member of the so
ciety and who had merely scratched
his nose absently or because he wanted
to, which may happen to any man.

A VISION OF THE FUTURE
Or. G. J.. in Stockton Mail.l

(R. G. j., in Stockton Mail.)
A vision of the future rises. / see
a world where thrones have crumbled
and where kings are dust. The
aristocracy of idleness has persisted
from the earth.
~ see a world without a slave Man
at last is free. Natures forces have
by science been enslaved. Lightning
and light, wind and wave, frost and
flame, and all the secret subtle pow
ers of the earth and air are the tire
less toilers for the human race.
II see a world at peace. adorned
with every form of art, with music's
myraid voices thrilled, while lips are
rich with words of love and truth, a
world in which no exile signs; no
prisoner mourns; a world on which
the gibbet's shadow does not fall; a
world where labor reaps its full re-
ward; where work and worth go
hand in hand, where the poor girl,
trying to win bread with a needle
the needle that has been called the
asp for the breast of the poor'-is
not driven to the desperate choice of
crime or death, of suicide Or shame.
Il see a world without the beg
CARS outstretched palm. the miser's
heartless, stony glare, the piteous
wall of want. the livid lips of lies,
the cruel eyes of scorn.
81 see a race without disease of
flesh or brain-shapely and fair,
married harmony of form and func-
ton. and as | look. life lengthens.
joy deepens, love canopies the earth,
and over all, in the great dome
shines the eternal star of human
hope"

giants have not been, nor are they
likely to be developed by artificial
means. 1t was French savant, named
Henrion, who, 200 years ago, gave to
the world authoritative statements as
to the height Of Adam and Eve. He
said that the fnther of the race was
1913 feet inches high and Eve 11S
