Human Goodwill.

With all your eXuberant goodwill
you haven't altogether got beyond the
theory that the first cave-dweller be-
slowed on his neighbor the bone he
himself didn't need, and established
the pleasant relation of benefactor
and beneficiary. 1t gave him such
warm feeling in his heart that he nat
urally wanted to make the relation
permanent. First cave-dweller felt
little disappointed next day when
second cave-dweller, instead OF COM
ing to him for another bone. preferred
TO take his pointed stick and go hunt
ing on his own account. 1t seemed a
little ungrateful in him, and first
cave-dweler felt that it would be no
more than right TO arrange legislation
In the cave so that il should not hap

tiful thing. but sometimes it gets mixed
up with these ideas of the cave-dwell-

EIy's MANY Enemies.

IF the determination of the fly was
left solely To us humans, the world
would he nothing but thick mass of
insects. As with all other of ma
lures creatures, the housetiy has nat
ural enemies. Birds prey upon the fly.
Toads. spiders and other animals also
deplete the ranks Of the fly in huge
quantities. Only these natural en-
emies prevent the fly from filling the
earth in immense clouds. Kipling'S law
is exemplified in the life Of the fly eX-
terminators. The toad is beset by the
snake and the toad devours flies. Life
is the survival of the fittest.

For the present the disease should
be viewed as of unknown causation,"
he said. Its relation to other dis

occurring in their espective countries
to influenza or other well known dis
eases. although the resemblance of
the patho logical LESSONS in the nerv-
Gus system to those occurring in in
fantile paralysis has led to a discus
sion of the points of correspondence
and difcrsnce of those two affections.

Europe cncephalitis lethargica showed
any chronological relationship TO the
influenza epidemic, as has been the
case III this country. II is highly
