Taking the Joy Out of Life.

nOOR, OLD NEW YORK, it is in sad
il straits. 1t cannot get its drinks and so can
not enjoy life. The good cheer and humanness
OF intercourse are gone because perforce its peo-
pie are sober. 1t is essentially show town and
the show refuses to bring on the actors, who only
perform when sufficiently bereft of their selfcon-
troll to realize that they if escaped from the
Zoo.
New Workers." it is said, lead jaded, nerve
raclang, tense existence widely different from the
peaceful life among green fields" So they need the
relaxation which booze" brings when taken in
sufficient quantity. How can they bear the strain
OF intensive business hours if they have to remain
sober o nights? How they regain the vigor
needed for the next day. if they share in the
hilarity, denied, of the town section with its
brilliant lights and its comradeship equally lt-up
The evening life becomes stern almost ritual
istic" without the forgetting which comes through
liquor. So it is that mot all the ice cream, the
sodas, candies and pastries and cinemas can make
up for New Yorks dead hours after the days work
Much Of the cheer and contentment noticed in
London and Paris, are lacking in New York" No
one can be jolly and sober; no one can be both
sober and cheerful contented; no one can be
sober and have a good time. New York sober is
drab and uninteresting. 1t is only worth the see
ing, when drunk. ......
Poor, old New York, it is discovering lot of
things about itself, chiefly that it is wholly art-
hcial, that it has paraded in mask and gown as a
clown; while just as Father Knickerbocker it .is
sadly uninteresting, and its real self absolutely
unentertaining. No one cares to see it unless it
seapers for them" and when sober, it refuses to
eaper. Consequently it is in imminent danger of
losing millions upon millions of dollars spent by
those of the provinces who have gone to its play
house only to see it make "holy show of itself"

ELEPHANT. MOST ADAPTIVE
ANIMAL, ORIGINATED IN EGYPT.
The elephant, who. next to man
is the most adaptive animal that
nature has produced, had its cradle
in the Land OF the Nile, declared
DR.. Henry Fairfield Osborn. head Of
the Americap Museum Of Natural
History OF New York, in a paper
before the National Academy Of
Sciences yesterday afternoon.
The earliest ancestors OF tho
elephant family known at present
to science are found as fossil
skeletons in an ancient river bed
In Egypt, about 100 miles south
of Cairo. In 1900 Prof. Osborn
predicted that the ancestors Of the
elephants might be found in North
ern Africa and IN 1907 they were
FIRST actually discovered by British
eeologists attached to the Geo.
logical Survey Of Egypt II now
appears that the remains then
found are those Of an ancestor OF
one of the two main groups into
which the elephant family is di-
vioed by the nstursiists-the group
Of the mastodons. The other group
10 that Of the true elephants and
the two groups are quite distinct
In family history. The chief mark
Of difference relied upon by experts
TO distinguish the two groups is
the form OF the teeth. though there
are many other differences In form
and habit between the various
branches nf the two great groups.

They are fine, healthy, vigorous plants,

Next to them come the azaleas-sturdy,
homegrown plants of the best japanese

lovely pure blues; the scarce pink and white
spireas; sweet yellow genistas; daisies and
ageratums; golden callas, velvet cinerarias,
little orange plants and gardenias, maiden
hair and other ferns, foliage plants and roses.
Indeed the roses are as important as the
lilies-both ramblers and hybrid teas. There
