HARRlsoN's PROPHETIC WORDS

grandfather were distinguished may.
ors of Chicago and did much to build
up their native land for which the
young man has offered his life. Carter
II. Harrison the First made trip
around the world in 1SS7-SS, during
which he wrote interesting letters to
a Chicago daily paper, which he after
wards reprinted in large and inter-
esting book entitled "A Race With the
Sun" Chapter XLII of this book is a
letter written by Mr.. Harrison from
st. Petersburg. July 81, 1883, at a time
when the newly crowned Emperor of
Germany-the present Kaiser vii.
helm-was N St. Petersburg as the
guest OF the Emperor of Russia. Mr..
Harrison describes the two autocrats
as he saw them riding in carriage
together In procession through the
Russian capital. His impressions
WHICH hS WIo'e Ut TIC tiIlc, uHu
which are to be found in the chapter
given, were wonderfully prophetic.
Here they are:
Il could not help feeling a sort Of
admiration for the Emperor of Ger
mPay-admi:ation for his wonderful
position, so young and with such
power for good or for woe to so many
millions. As he passed, the thought
passed across my brain: You look
strong and brave; you have in your
hands the destiny of Europe for many
years 10 come. II groans beneath the
tramp of millions of men, banded and
trained to destroy, What will you do
with them? Kings have boosted that
with stamp OF the foot they could
set armies in motion and hurl them
against the world. VIII you not in
vent a new royal boast-the boast
that with a stamp of YOUR foot you
disband armies and spread over a
suffering world a panoply of peace?
SO many kings have worn the laurel
and the oak for wreaths that their
leaves are hardly an honor. Cannot
William of Germany deck his brow
with an olive leaf-a unique crown
for king? The world has had sc
many military heroes that II has
groaned beneath their weight, but sC
few really wise rulers in peace, Car
you not be leader of the few?'"

Mosouito a Pestiferous Insect.

Moral philosophers, of course. mean
ing those who have more morality than
philosophy, have undertaken to explain
the purposes of mosquitoes, observes q
writer in the Providence Journal. On
the suppositiOus theory that nothing In
nature Is without a beneticent purpose,
we used to be told %learnedly that the
MOSQUITO consumed malaria germs and
other things in the air, and so proved
himself a kind friend to man. In view
Of the good thus conferred, the incl
dental singing done by the insect was
to be considered lightly.
People who used to talk this way
have been doing less of it in recent
years, having learned, perhaps. that 1t
was nonsense. 1t has been demon
strated that the mosquitoes favorite
habit Is to load up his system with poi
son Of some sort or another and then
seek out some human victim, to inOcu-
late. From all appearances this Is the
only joy that life affords to a mosquito.
and it is all that is accomplished by
him during his brief lifetime. except
to provide an ample number of de-
seendants to carry on the work.

Was Huxley Color Blind?

Hon. Doctor Lyttelton relates a
story Of of the late Professor Huxley.
He was walking One day with a friend
who differed from him in being a sim
cere believer of the Christian faith.
Suddenly Huxley said: "When l feel
that people believe in Christianity, 1
take it for granted they are muddle-
headed and confused in mind, but you
are a man with a clear head. How
does it come about that you believe In
those things, which to me are unimag-
inable?" The other replied: do you
think there is such a thing possible as
mental colOr-blindness, by which I
mean there are some minds incapable
of seeing what others see quite dis
tinctly, Just as there are some others
who cannot see colors which others
see plainly"
Huxley stopped in his walk, and
said: "Of course, that may be, and
that is perfectly possible" and then.
with all the grand honesty of his tenn
permanent, he said: "And If l hap
pened to be a man of that kind, l
should not know It." He then walked
on without saying any more.

Birmingham Salad.-Arrange head

apple, with a ball of cream cheese In
the center of each slice. 1t Is well to

be the same. Use the following dress
