SAYINGS OF
MRS.
BY Helen Rowland

What No Man Can Explain
UERILY, verify, my Daughter,
' who is so dear to a mans
heart, as she that clingeth to his
coat-lapel, and drinketh at the
font of his wisdom?
For, the instruction Of woman
hath ever been mans favorite
pastime, and to enlighten her
simple mind is his delight.
Yet, with all his wit and pro-
fundity, there be some things
which no man can EXPLAIN!
Behold, he can explain the pres
ence of spots upon the sun. But
what man can explain the spot
upon his collar Of the rice-powder
stains upon his coat-lapel?
10, he can explain mans de-
scent from the Simian, and why
sugar adhereth to spoon. But,
he can never explain how he hap
pened to propose marriage to a
woman-nor just what he sald'
that gave her the authority to go
ahead and MARRY him!
He can tell the world how great
fortunes are made, how capitalists
got their riches, and how govern
ments should handle their finan-
ces. But, he can never explain
why he LOST his money, nor &C
count for how it slipped through
his fingers.
He can explain why Nordics rule
the earth, why blondes are prefer
red, and why the seasons are
growing colder. But ne cannot
explain the presence of an un'
posted letter in his. pocket, a week
after his wife has handed 1t to
him. Nay, he Is at a loss TO
know who PUT 1T there!
He can elucidate with great
vividness upon how he grappled
with the burglar, nearly shot the
deer, and almost caught the o.
pound fish. But, alas. he CAN
NOT explain, how they got
away"
He can tell thee, why civiliZa-
ton continueth to move west
ward. why wars continue to
flourish. and why women continue
to yearn after matrlmony.
But, what man can tei LHe@'
why he continueth to 60 on liV-
ing with a nagging wife, after
love hath departed. and the ties
that bind are frazZled?
Go to. Any man can tell an
other man fifty-seven ways to
prevail over women. AMI how to
win their hearts and subdue them
to his will
But, how he LOST the love Of
woman, no man can explain-even
unto himself
For, verify, it is easy for man
to comprehend his conquests and
his prowess and his success. Yea,
for these, there is always a rea-
SON.
But, his little failings are lies
Eternal Mysteries!

ment of zoology in the Univer-
sity of Kansas, solemnly deposed
that God is everywhere present
and at work in His creation now
as in the past; while Henry
Fairfield Osborn, research pro-
lessor of zoology at Columbia
University, testified THAT all
living things, plants as well as
animals, attained their present
form and perfection by gradual
instead Of sudden means, that
man himself is a product of a
very gradual process of creation
rather than a suddenly formed
and finished product; this teach.
ing is what we call evolution, for
want of a better word.
Upon these, and other scattered
statements Mr.. Redfield bases
his assertion that, according to
the biologists, evolution is only
another word for change" and,
with them it is not in any sense
opposed to special creation. Like
Kepler, our biologists believe
that their part of the natural
order of things is guided or di.
rected by the personal acts OF
some angel or other supernatural
deputy, or by God HIMSELF"
1t is not unknown to the read
ing public that there are consid-'
cradle diversities of opinion
among evolutionists concerning
the method Of evolution though
not concerning the general fact.
But between the Genesis account
of the creation of man and the
evolutionary theory, surely there
is a far wider difference than
merely one Of time and of
whether the Creator used mud
or monkey as the material out Of
which he manufactured man."
But Mr.. Redfield thinks the
real truth of evolution is that
man made himself by his own
acts, using the forces and laws
Of nature for that work, and so
becoming himself responsible for
what he is and what he does. The
process by which man makes
. himself Is accordant with the
generic laws Of energy"
Those powers" he says,
which distinguish the higher
animals from the lower ones, and
which are inherited characters
dividual can and does develop
within himself by his own eft.
forts"
Mr.. Redfield buttresses this
idea with his Investigations Of the
breeding Of trotting horses. He
examined in detail hundreds OF
cases of fast trotters being pro-
duced from slow stock. He ex.
amined the main features of the
breeding methods on hundreds of
farms, and in thousands of cases
in which the choicest stock failed
to produce something as good as
existed before. "In fact" he saws,
Il examined the breeding indus
try through from five to seven
generations in that period Of his.
tory in which the greatest prog.
resS was made, and experts in
trotting horse history will tell you
that 1t is the most comprehensive
and exhaustive survey of the sit.
tuatiQn ever made"
The fast trotters, he concludes,
evolved from slow stock within
the strict meaning of that term.
They made themselves by their
own eXertionS in trotting work,
and what was made in one gener.
alton was passed on to the next
by inheritance. "In horse breed
ing there is no more trace of OPP
erations by some capricious, sup
ernatural being than there il
trace of Kepler's angels in our
present idea Of planetary motions. =
And this, whatever the zoolo-
gists may say. he insists is paral.
leled in the evolution Of human
