itumocous department. Patriotism?After a closely-contested election a darkey told how a Republican worker had come to him and said: "See here. Sam, you got four sons that can vote and your vote will make five. Now, you all vote the Republican ticket, and here are eleven dollars for you." "All right, boss," said Sam, with a grin, taking the money. "We'll all be on han\ suh." Then the Democratic heeler found Sam and said: "Sam, you and your boys all vote the Democratic ticket, and here are seven dollars for you. But mind you, you be on hand." "Yass, suh," said Sam, as he pocketed the boodle, "we'll vote all right. CunneL" After the election, being asked how he had voted, he said he had voted the Democratic ticket, relates the Argo naut. "But," said the other, "didn't the Republicans give you eleven dollars to vote their way, while the Democrats gave you only seven? You ought to have voted for the party that gave you the most money?" "No, sah," said Sam. "You see, de 'Publicans offer de mos' money, an' dey is de mos' corrupter. I votes for de least corrupter." Gentlemen of Leisure.?One of the upper ten thousand, once visited America, and accepted the hospitality of a gentleman in New York. When taking farewell of his host, the latter asked him what he thought of the American people. "Well," answered the nobleman, "I like them immensely, but I miss something." "What is that?" asked the Yankee. "I miss the aristocracy," replied the Englishman. "What are they?" naively asked the host. "The aristocracy!" said the nobleman in u somewhat surprised tone of ?\X7V*m? V>nif 11 rn nonnlo U'hn VUlt'C. T? 11J, mvj at v pvvptv ?v do nothing, you know; whose fathers did nothing, you know; whose grandfathers did nothing, you know?in fact, the aristocracy." Here he was interrupted by the American, who chimed in with, "Oh, we've plenty of them over here, but we don't call them aristocracy?we call them tramps."?Exchange. He Apologized.?It was at a railway eating station. The man from Montana was hungry and in a hurry. "Please pass me them pertaters, mister," he said, addressing the elegant gentleman from Boston, who sat next to him. The Bostonian slowly focused his gold eyeglasses on the man from Montana. "Did you think that 1 wa3 one OI me wallers: nr asncu Iiu;. The others held their knives and forks suspended in midair, expecting to see the man from Montana shrivel up, but no such phenomenon took place. He turned and beckoned to the nearest waiter. "George, come here, please." "What is it sir?" asked George. "I want to apologize to you. that's all. You see, I mistook this here party for you, but I hope you won't be offended. Now pass me then pertaters, and we'll go on with the round-up." Impossible.?For the first time in her life she stood at the railway station about to make a trip. She was much agitated, gazing about, her eyes fell on the train announcer as "the friend in need." "Young man," she spoke, "can you tell me where to get my ticket?" "Right there at the ticket window," he replied, jerking his thumb through the pigeonhole. She regarded the hole and train an"LI nf fo/?n o-ruu' prlmann at the fancied insult. "You be off," she yelled, as she re^ covered her breath. "How on earth am I to get through that hole? I ain't no pigeon." Won In Losing.?She wanted to do some shopping and. as is the custom of wives, felt the need for more money. She went to her husband and asked for the loan of a sovereign. "But you'll never pay me back," protested the husband. "I've lent you money before." "I'll bet you two shillings I pay you in a month," said the wife. "Right," said the husband, leaping at this sporting offer. The month passed. One morning the wife came sorrowfully to her hiish?r>(l "l)cnr. I've lost that bet. Here's your two shillings."?Manchester Guardian. Blissful Ignorance.?A bird dealer had in his shop a taciturn parrot. Day after day it sat silent on its perch, indifferent to every question. At last a Cuban lady came into the shop and spoke to it in her native tongue. The parrot brightened up at once, opened its beak and emitted a jubilant volley of vehement Spanish words. When the parrot iinally ceased speaking, the lady turned to the owner and, blushing violently, asked: "Do you understand Spanish?" "No," he replied. "Thank heaven!" she said and left the shop. His Worry.?"Clarence," said the American heiress hesitatingly, "I think that you should be told at once how my father made his money. Our business men in this country have methods which to one of your pure souls, whose motto is 'Noblesse oblige,' cannot but?" "Cease, Mamie, cease," said the young lord reassuringly, "tell me no more. However he made his millions I can forgive, for your sake. But? er?has he still got them all right.? Gave it Cheerfully.?The father of a Oermantown lad had given him a tencent piece and a quarter of a dollar, telling him that he might put one or the other on the church's contribution plate. At dinner the father asked the boy which coin he had given. "Well, father," exclaimed the youngster, "at first it seemed to me that 1 ought to put the quarter on the plate: but just in time I remembered the saying. 'The Lord loveth a cheerful giver,' and I knew I could give the ten cent piece a great deal more cheerfully. So I put that in." Large, Baffling Words.?"What is your idea of the nebular hypothesis?" asked the erudite woman. "I can't say," replied Mr. Cumrox with great embarrassment. "1 have no doubt my wife could give you some views on the subject. But I haven't had time to give much attention either to psychic research or social hygiene." Miscellaneous grading. THE ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTES Why John Bull's Militant Daughters Have Their Dander Up. J. Nelson Laurvik, writing: an article entitled "John Bull's Militant Daughters," states as follows the cause of the militant movement in England: First, the law of inheritance, which in every instance excludes her in favor of the male member of the family, often leaving her a penniless dependent upon the male relatives to whom her due share has gone, and that further deprives her of right to her own children unless they are born out of wedlock: she has neither dower rights nor rights as a mother. By English law no married woman exists as the mother of the child she brings into the world. The child, according to English marriage laws, has only one Darent. and that parent is the father, while out of marriage, the law recognizes only one parent and that parent is?the mother. Second, the unjustly discriminatory divorce laws, designed to safeguard and shield the man, and which even Mr. Gladstone declared to be a gross injustice to women in favor of men, an excellent illustration of which is the case of the wife of a day laborer in London told of by Elizabeth Robins: Mrs. B. was an applicant for a separation order (since divorce is too dear a luxury for any of this class). The grounds of Mrs. B.'s plea was the infidelity of her husband. 'You can't get a separation order for that.' 'Well, J but he brings the woman home?he keeps her in the house.' 'That is no erround.' Then the magistrate is given the heart of the grievance. The husband insists on having the interloper in his wife's bedroom. No redress, while one act of infidelity on her part entitles the man to an absolute divorce." This condition applies to all English women. Comment is superfluous." Third, the census of eight years ago put the number of women working in trades at 4,000,000, and all these women are without adequate representation, and in consequence most of them are ill paid and overworked to a degree shockingly unbelievable. In this, as in the above matters affecting the welfare of women in England, there is no law for men and another for women, and without the vote the women are helpless to remedy these conditions. The government itself offers an excellent illustration of this inequality in the treatment of its postal and telegraph employes. At one end of the telegraph line you find a man earning 200 pounds ($1,000) a year, and a woman at the other end earning 80 pounds ($400). THE SECOND BEST SELLER "Robinson Crusoe" Exceeded Only by the Bible in Every Language. The best seller of all the books in the world, past and present, with the single exception of the Bible, is "Robinson Crusoe." This remarkable book continues to hold its own as a piece of the most engrossing literature published, just as it did when Daniel De Foe first published it on April 25, 1719. The rich man's child or the poor man's child find an equal delight in the ad ventures of that famous castaway of fiction, and every civilized country in the world has its own special translation of the work. But it has remained for a Philadelphian, William S. LJoyd, of Germantown, to gather together specimens of every edition published, forming the most complete collection of "Robinson Crusoes" in existence. Mr. Lloyd has had his agents collecting Crusoes fof a number of years past. These agents have orders to buy any rare copy or any new translation. This work has resulted in the collection in the Crusoe Library owned by Mr. Lloyd of over 300 volumes of the adventures of the island hero. The books are printed in every living language, and even in some dead ones, for Mr. Lloyd has copies of "Robinson Crusoe" in Latin and Greek, though why the work was translated into these languages remains a mystery that the owner of these rare books himself cannot solve. Among the thirty-three languages represented in the Lloyd Crusoe col lection are Crusoes printed in English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish, Kroatisch, Italian, Polish, Roumanian, Lettish, Slavonic, Flemish, I'rdu, Dutch, Bohemian, Bornean, Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Hebrew, Yiddish, Greek and Latin. Each nation as it appropriated the story of Robinson Crusoe appropriated to itself the hero also. Thus in the French copies of the work Crusoe is depicted as a Frenchman; when the Germans read about the well-remembered slaughter of the cannibal visitors to Crusoe's island they swell with pride at th.? thought that Crusoe was a German, while the Spaniard knows him only as a native of old Spain, and the Russian recognizes in him a fellow subject of the czar. And so on with all the nationalities represented. Crusoe is never an Englishman except to the English-speaking people. Perhaps the most striking feature of the rare volumes in the collection is the work of the artists of the various periods and of the various countries. The French artist who illustrated an early French version of the book chose as the theme for his frontispiece Robinson Crusoe giving thanks for his deliverance from the waves. It will be noted that the castaway has made his way through the angry billows from the wrecked ship without losing the neat parting in his hair. Neither has he found it necessary to discard his ball room slippers to facilitate his natatorial struggles. He also has held on with commendable tenacity to his pretty flowing necktie and his handsome sash. His entire wardrobe seems to have suffered no damage at all from his encounter with the raging waters. Had there been a ball in progress when Crusoe stepped on his island he could have walked right out of this French edition onto the waxed floor of the dance hall without arousing any suspicion of his recent adventures. Another creation of a French artist shows Crusoe clinging for dear life to a rock, while the waves threaten him from every side. It is difficult to tell from the artist's sketch whence the waves are coming from. They seem, in fact, to be beating from the shore instead of from the sea. How Crusoe ever escaped from such all-encompassing waves is difficult to imagine. Neither it is possible to reconcile the American boy's idea of Crusoe with the hero depicted by a Portuguese edition of the book. In a fanciful conception by a Portuguese artist which is intended to represent Crusoe's dream, the castaway is shown with a strikingly Portuguese-like face, and a well-waxed mustache, although De Foe does not mention the use of such aids to manly beauty as mustache wax in his story of the life of Crusoe on the island. The German artists delight to depict Crusoe as a robust, smiling Teuton. In one he is shown in his island rig of skins, followed by two peculiar-looking animals that resemble the nonde[ script creations of the artist who supplies the Coney Island carrousels with their stock in trade. I The English artists one and all give ! one his money's worth in the illustrations furnished by them. No single scene satisfies these artists. In one picture a view is shown of almost the entire island, with the canoes of the cannibals on the beach, the cannibal feast in progress, Crusoe shooting cannibals and cannibals shooting at Crusoe, and Crusoe's habitation on the side of the mountain, with plenty of back scenery for good measure. "Robinson Crusoe" was lirst published anonymously. For a time the aumorsnip was uaunuca iu umacm men, and one wild story was circulated of its having been written by Lord Oxford, who was then imprisoned in the Tower of London. Some time elapsed before the general public Wire acquainted with the real authorship. It is interesting to record how Mr. Lloyd came to gather this unique collection. He has traveled all over the world picking up copies in the book stores, and collections in London, Paris, Tokyo, Berlin and Pekin have been ransacked by him for Crusoe rareties and the book agents of the world have standing orders to buy and forward any newly discovered volume of Crusoe that is not in the library at CJermantown. Mr. Lloyd says he* has merely started his search for Robinson Crusoe novelties. He aims to own the best collection in the world and he already seems to have achieved this [ ambition.?Boston Transcript. PREDICTING THE STORMS Weather Bureau Man Does Not Believe in Groundhog. Just because accidents will happen like that "tiareback" which on March 4, 1909, isolated Washington, the weather bureau wants it distinctly understood that its predictions are not guesswork. They haven't any goose bone prophets up at the conservatory; they don't believe in Brother Ground-hog, nor the tree frog, nor the moss on the trees, nor any of those other old fashioned weather guides. The process of figuring; out the kind of weather that is coming is a highly scientific work. Some folks have an idea there is something occult about the forecasting of storms, frosts and Hoods. Not a few think the observers must necessarily get their data by reading the planets, the stars and the moon. But they don't. "Suppose a business man had ordered a carload of pineapples from Hawaii," says a statement just issued from the bureau In explanation of its work. "He would know the average time it would take the steamer to make the trip to the Pacific port, "the average time for unloading and loading refrigerator cars, and the average number of days to be allowed for the trip across the continent to New York. His estimate, however, would be subled to error, because the steamship might be delayed by fog, or the railroad cars by accident. "Storms, like pineapples, as a rule do not originate in the United States. They come to us from the Philippines, Japan, Siberia, Alaska, Canada, or the Gulf of Mexico. The weather bureau gets cable, telegraphic *>r wireless notice of a foreign storm. "Station after station and vessel after vessel, reports the storm's arrival in its neighborhood so that the general direction and rate of progress can be determined very easily. In fact, the arrival of some storms can be foretold ten days in advance. "The forecasters watch for the region of low barrometer, which is the storm center around which the winds blow. The whirl or eddy moves bodily forward with the general eastward drift or about 650 miles a day in our latitudes. The forecaster determines the direction of movement of the storm and its velocity. "When weather disturbances are reported, the forecasters know from experience about how long it takes them to reach our Pacific coast and then how long after they will reach the Atlantic coast. "To keep tab on cold waves that come into the United States from Canada and Alaska, the weather bureau studies the Canadian weather reports. England sends reports from Iceland, the British Islands and Continental Europe and daily reports come from St. Petersburg. A storm sometimes encircles the world in its course. "The same businesslike system of tracing the track of a storm is used in determining the arrival of frosts." Tricks of the Trade.?United States Treasurer John Burke, former governor of North Dakota, got his real start by winning his first few cases as a young lawyer. One of these hinged on the color of a horse. There was a chattel mortgage, held by a bank, on a certain horse, and the mortgage was foreclosed. But the bank took a black horse, whereas it was claimed that the mortgage was on a chestnut horse of much less value. This led to a spirited legal controversy. One witness said that the mortgaged horse was black, and another witness said it was chestnut. So it was simply a matter of determining which witness was the most gifted in knowing what a color was when he saw it. Burke had on an inoffensive suit of clothes that looked black in the shade and gray in a strong light. When the witness for the other side took the stand Burke asked him several questions about his knowledge of colors, and inquired in an innocuous tone: "What's the color of my suit?" "Black!" replied the witness. For the room was dark. "That's all," snapped Burke in the offhand but triumphant tone lawyers use when they wish to give the impression that they have a neat joke in store for the opposition. He then called the witness for his side and asked him the same questions. This witness said Burke's suit was gray. When he got ready to make his talk to the jury. Burke had the bailiff raise all the window shades so that anybody could see that the suit really was gray. He paced back and forth in front of the jury with a section of his coat tail in one hand waving it frantically in their faces and dwelling on the fact that anybody who said it was black instead of gray could be no fit judge of the color of a horse. And the jurors sat and blinked solemnly and made up their minds in his favor. THE STORY OF CREATION New Discoveries Add Confirmation to Bible Account. Each new discovery of Science seems to add continuation to the historic truth of the Biblical account of Creation. It has long been evident that Science and Revelation were in general accord as to the order in which things were made: A formless, nebula, the creation of light, the condensation of the world into a whirling globe, the separation of earth and water, the appearance of plant life, the shining forth of sun and moon in definite shape, the appearance of animal life and, finally, of man. But the origin of life is still the unexplained enigma of Science. Now, however, comes Prof. L. J. Henderson of Harvard University, advancing the theory that organic mat ter can t>e proauceu irom inorganic? that, life can be made from dust. This is only a hypothesis, but it offers a tentative solution of the problem, and one that is in exact accord with the Mosaic story as found in Genesis. Briefly, Dr. Henderson's assertion is that inorganic matter contains latent life and that this life may become active under certain conditions. The materialist would accept this hypothesis and would grope darkly in his laboratory to find the condition that might awaken the latent life to activity. The scientific man who has not lost faith in God does not have to grope in the dark. He believes that, no matter by what processes things were made, no matter how evolution progressed, an all-wise and all-powerful intelligence directed the successive steps, perhaps even endowing original matter with the inherent power to evolve to ever higher states, and in the beginning laying down the inexorable laws of its evolution. Now let us examine the steps in Creation, one by one, comparing the immortal story told in the pages that have been handed down to us for countless generations with that which has been pieced together from fragments picked up from the strata of the rocks, from the retorts of the chemists, from the microscopic slide, the records of animal and vegetable life, the silent testimony of the stars, to say nothing of the speculations of imaginative scientists. And the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Science holds that the earth began as a shapeless mass, a nebula, wandering dark and aimlessly in space. And God said, Let there be light, and there was light * * * And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. That a whirling molten mass?one of a myriad such masses?should in the fi.st Deriod of creation experience the change from darkness to light is a part of our nebular hypothesis. How long this first period, or day, lasted the Bible does not tell, and Science can only guess. And God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. Science tells us that the shapeless nebula had a spiral motion, condensing toward its center. As the process of condensation and cooling went on the earth became a globe covered with steaming water. The atmowjifiere was left surrounding the fluid earth, and the "mist that went up from the earth" formed the clouds. Such was the second "day" of creation. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gatherings together of the waters allied He Sea. In the third stage, when the earth and water had sufficiently cooled, when the crust of the earth ha.d begun to harden, land appeared. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, anil V-i fruit t roo viAlrlinc frilit nffpr his kind. And it was so. That the first form of life upon the earth belonged to the vegetable kingdom. Science regards as almost axiomatic. This was the third "day." And God said. Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, arid for days, and for years. As the earth continued to cool it became regular in its rotation upon its axis; seasons of different temperatures, somewhat similar to those of today, succeeded one another with more and more regularity. The moon, science teaches, was originally thrown off from the earth, and it, too, under- 1 went a period of evolution in which it finally acquired a regular cycle of revolution around the earth. Thus were days, nights, months and years established with regularity. This was the fourth "day." And Ood said. Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature ' that hath life and fowl that may fly 1 above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. It was Darwin who lirst taught us i as a scientific fact that animal life originated in the sea. Evolution has determined that the early forms of life, ' from which man has sprung, existed ( in the sea for many million of years before they made their appearance on land. In the physical construction of the human being, there is every indication that his remote ancestors were marine in their habitat. Genesis seems to make birds appear next in order after fishes, and says that both were brought forth from the waters. Most evolutionists are of the opinion that reptiles preceded the winged creatures. But the belief that birds followed fishes, according to the Biblical order, is rapidly gaining ground. That birds' ancestors came from water animals, there is no doubt. There is very close analogy between certain organs of birds and fishes. Feathers seem to be little more than modified form of scales. The birds wing is not unlike the fish's fin. One is employed for propulsion in the air, the other in the water. In the flying fish of today we have almost a con >1 II ?1. nn.1 Roki.a I Ilt'l'lIIlK I1I1IY uriwrrii uuuo uuu noiiro. It is possible that the Biblical order ultimately will prove more scientific than science on this point. "And the 1 evening: and the morning were the fifth day." And God said. Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind cattle and creeping '.heing, and beast of the earth after his kind; and it was so. And the Lord God formed man of 1 the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and j man became a living soul. Evolution agrees with the Bible en- ' tirely in placing the advent of man as the final act of creation. This was the crowning event of the sixth "day." The work of creation was finished. I should like to trace the successive steps in the evolution of man as the anthropologists tell the story?of his beginning probably as an arboreal being, his descent to the ground, his gradual adaptation, to changing surroundings, the growth of his intelligence, etc?but space forbids. And the Lord Clod said. It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make an helpmeet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made He a woman. The generally accepted theory of < volution is that life first appeared on the globe as a protoplasmic body?the Monera and soon developed into a form something like the amoeba of today. In this germ or cell there was but one s?x, or more probably the two sexes were combined in the one cell. We may say truthfully that nature made the male cell and then produced tne two jexes by dividing the male. Or that out of the male cell nature made the female. This accords we|l with the Biblical account of the creation, and is further supported by Dr. Henderson's theory. The process of dividing the sexes, as begun in the cell life?and be it remembered that man as he is today is but a multiplication of these selfsame protoplasmic cells?continued in all the higher forms of life. For while succeeding animal forms were composed of both male and female cells the composite animal itself was hermaphrodite, as is still the case with some fishes, amphibians and molluscs. Prof. Gegenbaur shows that the progenitors of the whole vertebrate kingdom were thus androgynous, and Waldeyer in his researches offers convincing proof that 'even the higher vertebrates are, in their early condition, hermaphrodite." There can be little doubt that for millions of years the world was inhabited exclusively by androgynous forms. After attaining various stages of advancement they were separated, or again out of the male nature made the female. Thus, according to the scientists, man was evolved from a protoplasmic cell, the first form of life to appear, and his body is still made up of these protoplasmic cells, some male and some female, in both men and women. The word "protoplasm" means "first creature or thing made." The male and the female cells of protoplasm are, therefore, the parents of all living forms of life. "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living." As protoplasm is the life substance of the cell, and the one-celled animal was the first form of life to appear, the appropriateness of the name Eve is evident. "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord had made." It might seem fantastic to go on and trace the parallel between the story of man's primitive days as told by modern scientists and the Biblical account of the fall and man's expulsion from the Garden of Eden. But the parallel is closer than may be imagined. In the Miocene days? anywhere from 200,000 to 980,000 years ago?man was probably a vegetarian, living at peace with all animals, in a world that was a veritable garden in its prolificness. He was contemporaneous with the giant-legged serpents or lizards that had preceded him on wnrfh hv millinna nf vonrn Mo nnf can tell today that these serpents may not have developed a high degree of sagacity or cunning, perhaps even greater than primitive man possessed. Man and woman were naked and unashamed. They knew neither good nor evil. They understood as yet nothing of death?any more than the animals today understand it. Man's first step toward acquiring knowledge was the acquisition of cunning. Woman was the first to acquire it. Cunning is the natural outgrowth of curiosity. It is the defense that the weaker opposes to the stronger. Science would scarcely say that she acquired her cunning through observatoion of the reptiles, but the hypothesis is legitimate, as none other has been advanced. The parallel seems closer the more deeply we get into it. It requires very little stretch of the imagination to take every new discovery of science and find in it a confirmation of the poetic story contained in tne nrst tour chapters of Genesis, instead of a contradiction, as used to lie supposed.?
