Within two days they organized the prisoners, guards and jailers into the International Penalty com pany. issued $500,000,000 In bonds, paid tbe fines of all tbe prisoners, left us with a mortgage on the jail and the courthouse?and stuck the surplus money In their - pockets." ?

A Philadelphia politician discovered an anecdote of Horace Greeley and told It with effective results at a recent po- j litical dinner. Mr. Greeley, it will De recalled, was a miserable penman. During an election In New York a political watcber threatened to challenge the editor's vote oq the ground that he could not write. "Better not," advised a friend. "He might write something, get you to look at it and then challenge your vote on the ground that you couldn't read."? Bohemian. Can't Afford Him Now.

The solar system is but a fragment of the universe. Every star is a sun with a solar system. It is possible that there may be millions of planets inhabited by beings higher or lower than ourselves. What we see going on is what we call the process of evolution ?from broken fragments to coherent nasses and to inhabited worlds, from cnaos to cosmos, a struggle upward of the universe from something lower and disorganized to something higher and organized. Ac f-icrrr l?fa nrifln'nafos r?n *10 IV/ UUI( UiC Vllgtuuvvx v~_ planets science is ignorant at present It is an entire mystery. I would not have you build too much on that I do not think it will always remain a mystery, nor would I have a theologian shaken in his views if science should discover something about the nature and origin of life. I want you to realize that this process of evolution is not a process which negatives or excludes the idea of divine activity. It is. I venture to say. a revelation to us of the manner of divine activity. It is the way the Deity works. The attempt to show that evolution Is unguided, that it is the result of absolute change, fails. What is pointed to is not unguided random change, but guided change. The other could not be done in time. What we have to realize In regard to our place in the universe is that we are intelligent helpful and active parts of the cosmic scheme. We are among the agents of the Creator. One of the most helpful ideas is co-operationhelping one another. Co-operation? this in a new and stimulating senseco-operation with the Divinity himself. ?Sir Oliver Lodge. PUSS TO THE RESCUE Brought a Rabbit to Hungry Philadelphia Cave Dwellers. When the first settlers came to Phil adelphia, of course there were no houses ready for them, says Sel In the Cat Journal, so a good many of the men dug small caves in the bank of I the river. They would dig several feet Into the bonk, then build walls of sod In front of the little caves. They made the roof by laying branches of trees on top. covering these with rushes from the river and putting pieces of sod on the rushes. The chimney was made of stones plastered with clay. Those caves were nsed only until the men had time to cut timber and build the houses they wished. One of the old families ot Philadelphia owns a quaint sliver tureen on which is engraved a cat seizing a rabbit In the early days at Philadelphia TJQ nr?

She brought the water to make the mortar for the chimney and even helped at one end of the saw. One day she was very tired, for she had helped all the morning. Her husband told her to rest awhile and then think about dinner. Mrs. Hard walked sadly away. Their food was nearly gone. Only a few biscuits and a little cheese were left Just then she saw her cat coming toward her with a large rabbit in its mouth. Mrs. Hard cooked the rabbit and had a nice dinner ready VC?

Dogs can carry infection along with them, as was dearly proved at Constantinople In 1865 when a single animal, entering the city from an infected district started a cholera epidemic that killed more than 50,000. The dog, a valuable chow, was taken into his house by a dragoman, and a few hours later he and all his family were stricken down with the complaint which spread thenoe to all parts of the dty, even the sultan's palaoe being invaded.

The most savage specimen of the crab species is found in Japan, seeming to dream of nothing but fighting, to delight in nothing half so much. The minute he spies another of his kind he scrapes his claws together in rage, challenging him to the combat Not a moment is wasted in preliminaries, but at it they go, hammer and tongs. It sounds like two rocks grinding against one another. The sand flies as the warriors push each other hither and thither until at last one of them stretches himself out in the sun, tired to. death. But he does not beg for mercy or attempt to run away, only feebly rubbing his claws together In defiance of the foe. That foe comes closer, and, with his claws trembling with joy at his victory, the conqueror catches hold of one claw of the vanquished crab, twists it until it comes off and bears away the palpitating limb as a trophy of his prowess. Such is a battle between warrior crabs. Arctic Dog Life, Nowhere in the world has the dog such unrestricted right of way as in our most northerly possession?Alaska.
