The Magnates In Jail.
"So you people put a couple of magnates
in jail on heavy fines, did you?"
asks the investigating reformer.
* "Yes," replies the native. "We fined
^ them the limit They wouldn't pay,
and we put them in cells."
"That*s a good example."
* "Is it? 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

A Counter Challenge.
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

During an election In New York a political
watcber threatened to challenge
the editor's vote oq the ground that he

"Better not," advised a friend. "He
might write something, get you to look

the ground that you couldn't read."?

THE UNIVERSE. j
' |
Man's Place In This Eternity of Space j
and Matter.
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

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

in one of these dug-out caves
while he was building their house. The
work went very slowly, and Elizabeth
often helped her husband. 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

Dogs and Infection.
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.

Savage Crabs.
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.

such unrestricted right of way as in
