In other words, he is superior to the law l he makes. or the laws others make. | He is divine right man, a law unto | himself. By his order more than 5000 men superior to him in every respect 1 have. been shot for the crime of being loyal to their own countries as non combatants. If prisons are not made | for such criminals as he, and we recog

 which he makes for others. His di-
 vine right claim is fraud. Mother Goose is two hundred years old. and to mark this anniversary year it is proposed to issue in Russian and German these popular democratic rhymes as an antidote for the condi-

 It was Henry Drummond who stood , with Hugh Miller for the truth of the records of the earth; and he declared: I've have truth in Nature as 1t comes ; from God. < :" It has to be read with
 the same faith and the same reverence
 as all other revelations" And no booE holds deeper secrets, or more confuS-
