THE CHIEF END OF MAN. RU Feet. Not H Head. and This Is Not a Joke. Apparently man has been greatly mistaken in attributing to his mind supremacy among the anlmals, sn-ys the London Globe. A medical writer In one of the magazines, to use an ap plicable phrase, knocks this idea on the head. From an anatomical stand point of human brain hardly differs from that of the anthropolt ape, and intellectually the' Australian bushman is a'.d to be the inferior of the edu cated orang-outrang In the zoological gardens. Man's p:oud position in the anir.:al world is due rather to his heels than to his head, cnd be it noted that man is the only animal which can balance itself upon its heels. This acquisition, simple as it appears, is the result of evolutionary processes stretching 1rAck to the dim past, when our ancestors Inhabited trees and cracked nuts with the enthusiasm of latter-day vegetarians. Even now, among the fiat-footed tribes, the art of balancing on two heels is unknown, and "it is only in the highly civilized nations of Europe and America and their dependencies that the action is fully displayed." We are told that those types of animals which have by the agency of their legs and feet most successfully solved the problem of ter 'restrial locomotion as regards stabil ity of posture and activity of move, ment are those which are physically best fitted to live in other respects. Fortunately for man his ancestors, with that unrest which is the spur of progress, wearied of their first trail ing or dragging gait, and did not even rest contented when they had learned the difficult art of hopping. Pushing on, they attained to a straight-kneed plantigrade gait, and "the supremacy of man was front that time estab lished." F eTo the _fiinitiatd the days of armos have I g since gone, but a visit to a '-eertain firm situated in the west end of London will reveal the fact that hundreds of vests of mail are sold an nually to officers in the British army. The maker is a well-known gunsinith. and a large portion of his income is derived, not from manufacturing guns, but through the sale of armor to oflicers. As a general rule the mail is inclosed in a leather casing, which is sown inside the tunic so as to be in visible unless the garment is picked to pieces. And the same with helmets --a similar device is fixed as lining so as to give additional protection in case of need. Some officers are not above wearing mail vests underneath their tunics and perfectly obvious tC their comrades, who, although they may scoff in time of peace, would be only too glad to don one themselves .when in the middle of hostilities. The majority of the maker's customers are -officers, because the suits are very ex pensive, costing about $51 each. Never theless, some "Tommies" are prepared to spend that amount in order to in e themselv a ' rtain extent n -^ .nt bullets. distance, of course. these suits .cf ar mior are next to useless, although they anay be ijrstrumental in turning its course or stopping its penetrating - power. During the Chino-Japanese a 'r of 1895 the maker in question sent out' several hundred suits of armor, which were eagerly bought up by the - combatants at a heavy price. During ethe American war of last year he did -the same thing; i' was not so success ful, for he found he had been fore stalled by Yankee firms, and such icers in the American army as had tended going in for a suit of mail -d already obtained them. He then offered his goods to the Spaniaras, wz~ho proved to be good customers, and wf'sprepard~ to pay a good price for the luxury. A notable instance of the value of mail occurred during the bat tle of Onidurman last September. One officer, who is well known, got into the thick of the fight 'and was slashed on sides by the dervishes. His men e lurprised to see that he had es ped all the force of the blows, ex pecting to see him fall from his horse every minute a mass of wounds. After the battle was over, however, he ap peared perfectly unscathed save for a - few slight wounds on the chest% Then he revealed the suit of mail which cov ered him and to w~ch he owed his life.-London Globe. Japan is taking another important, step toward the higher plane of modern civilization by separating the church from the state. A bill is now before the House of Peers abolishing End dhism as the officially recognized re ligion of the state and placing al creeds on an equal footing, and it is said that it will surely pas. Thus within the brief pev'ioa of thir'ty years or so Japan has enmerged from a st.ite of complete heathen barbarism and established her right to a place in the front rank cf the most liberal and en .ightened of the civilize-1 nations of the earth.

More Extraord Inary Than Any Enconn tered by a Woman of rfank in Thia Centuiry-Alone AIong the Sarages. A Young lDoer Her Knightly Squire. ADY SARAH WILSON, the handsome and adventurous! daughter of the house of Marlborough, is regarded as a modern Joan of Are by English so cietv. 'he auventures through which she is passing in the Doer war are m-ore extraordinary than have fallen to '!ec lot of any woman of rank in t~.us century, and place her alongsidte of those women of the Middle Ages who defended cities and endured the hor rors of war. Anple details have now been re ceivrd in letters from Lady Sarah of her experiences up to the time she re turned to Mafeking. She was first besieged, then es caped; was caught after many thrilling adventures; acted as a spy; was ordered to be confined in a certain town and escaped from it, and finally was exchanged for a Doer officer and returned to the b3sieged place from which she had started. ESILGED INAFEKNG. At the beginning of the war Lady Sarah was with her husband, Captain Gordon Wilson, in Mafeking. the chief town of British Bechuanaland, which lies northwest of the Trans vaal. It was held by Colonel Baden Powell, with the Fifth Dragoons, about 900 strong. Captain Wilson is an officer of the Horse Guards, but was out in South Africa on special service, and had really attached him self to Colonel Bader-PowelL for the sake of adventure. He has found it.. The redoubtable General sCronje, who g ured Jameson and his raidot, besieged Mafelking with 3000 -efrs. Colonel Baden-Powell rein forced his little body of regulars by enrolling and drilling all the able bodied men of Mafeking. Thus he gathered a force of nearly 2000 men. Lady Sarah took an active part in the wo rk of the solIiers, and even ia companied Lhe armored trains that went out of Mafeking to fight the Boers. At the end of a month, however, it Sbecame clear to Lady Sarah that she as a useless mouth to feed and an embarrassment to the brave garrison. On the other hand, if she could es cape from Mafeking, she would be able to render a real service by carry ing exact news of the condition of the beleaguered town to the outside world. ALONE AMONG THE SAVAGE;. She started out to ride over hun dreds of miles of desert and moun-: tan, infested not only by armed Boers, but by wandering bands of: bloodthirsty savages. The chance of: falling into the hands of the latter was the most appalling danger she ran. She may almost consider her self rtunate that she was captured bye rough but humane Boers. as eal oThrdymorning ~~Thfekking, She aried her rifle and plenty of ~amma-~' nition and three days' supply of pro visions. She rode all day. During the afternooa1 she was sighted by a band of savages, but having a much better horse she was able to get away from them. At nightfall she reached Setlagoli, a small station in British territory, but in a region now occupied by the Bers. Here there was a hotel, wherec the proprietor and a few servants still remained. Lady Sarah put up here for the night. Just at dawn she was awakened by a terrific rattling of musketry and rapid firing guns. She dressed her self, mounted her horse and rode in the direction of the firing, taking her camera with her in the hope of ob taining some photographs. When she got to the scene of the 1 trouble she found that a British armored train had been wrecked by the Boers. The train was command- 1 ed by Captain Nesbitt, of the Mash onaland Mounted Polie, who was trying to ran through to Mafeking with anmuition. He and all his1 men were killed or captured. Lady Sarah was seen by the Boers and taken prisoner. She was held for two days at Setlagoli, but amoa~ the soldiers here were a number of blackguards, chiefly T ~itlanders, who insulted her. The officer in command. who did his best to protect her, there fore sent her back to Mochudti, an important Beer centre in the vicinity~ of Maf eking. Here she was given over to the custody of a colonial farmer, a British sui ject, but of Doer1 descent. A cIIlvALnOCs YOUNG BOER. This farmer was a strikingly hand some young fellow, about thirty years of age, over six feet high, bread shouldered and fair haired, an ideal Beer in appearance. He displayed a chivalrous devotion to his fair pris oner, which she now fears may bring him into troub~le with the Boer author While at Mochudi Lady Sarah es tablisled a regular spy system by means of which she supplie/i Colonel Baden-Poweli with information of the utmost value concerning the Boer plans. B3y informing him that the Beers on the southern side of Mate king were being drawn awvay to the siege of Kimberley she enabled him to make a sortie in which he killed thirty Beers and captured 2!500 rounds of ammuiton. Lady Sarah secured the services of a native runner, who became so de voted to her that he would have risked death in any form to do her errands. She used to meet him late at night on Ithe outskirts of her Boer host's farm, and there give him messages for the beseiged garrison of Mafeking. He hid these in his luxuriant hair, which was bound up with a copper ring on top of his head. On thes journeys be ,wen Mochudi and Mateking he ran almost as much chane of being shot by the British as by the Boer sen At this time a large number of the Boers wvero withd? awn from Mafecing to aid in making the siege of Kimnber e more severe. C omandant Cronjie himslf went to !Kimbuey and lef t his s~bordinate comumaudant, Snyman. at E-atking a desire to visit Vryburg, an important point on the railroad from Iafeking to Kimberley. It was particularly in teresting just ihen because the Doers were passing through it on their vty to the latter place. The dauntless English woman per suaded the young Doer farmer to take her to Vryburg. He inspauned his great wagon with four oxen and they started out on the long journey to gether. At Tryburg Lady Sarah found imany things of interest. She visited the hospital, where she found a number of wounded English prisoners, whom she consoled as well as she could. She bought some delicacies for the-;e prisoners, and also -ome comforts which she needed herself. Then she was pained to learn that the Boer authorities had given orders that she should not be allowed to leave the town. One more she mafle use of the young Boer farmer. She made hiii go with her before ihe Laudarost, or 'Magistrate, who had been put in charge of the town by the Boers, and swear that Lady Sarah was his sister. He had to au swer many einbarassing questions put to him by the Magistrate concerning his lack of fanily resemblance to hi "sister," her English accent, her clothes so different from those worn by Boer women, and miany othCr matterl. The young Boer explained thai iti3 sister had been educated in England, which is the case with a number of Boers. Fortunately, there was no one at hand who knew the exact facts about Lady Sarah, and the Landdrost, apparently a kiudly mau, let her go. In order to run no further risks she left Vryburg at I o'clock in the morning with her Boer friend. When she got back to Mochudi an other calamity awaited her. Comn mnandant Snyiuan had discovered that she had been sending dispatches into Iafeking. Up to that time lie had been in some doubt as to how to treat her. Now he had n1o more doubt. He held her strictly a prisoner, locked her up and put an armed guard over her. Then Colonel Baden Powell ->imanded Lady Sarah's re lease as a noncombatant. Com mandant Snyman replied that she was a spy, and that lie was behaving with leniency when ho consented to exchange her for an important Boer officer held by the British. He inti mated that he had a perfect right to shoot poor Lady Sarah as a spy. The gallant Colonel Dadeu-Powell could not bear the thought of leaving a woman-and such a woman-in ,o distressing a position. He therefore exchanged his Boer prisouer for her, and she was returned to her husbaud and the garrison of 1afeking. In a recent sortie from M?.afekiug her husband was wounded, and so she has him to nurse in addition to her other occupations. Lady Sarah Wilson is the tenth hild ~of a former Danke of MIarl borough, and is about the same age as her nephew, the present Dake. She is the youngest sister of the late Duke-who married Mrs. Ham eslev, of New York-and of the late Lerd Randolph Church'hl Vilson, an Austrahian milhionaire. She is a tall, handsome woman, rith an insatiable fondness for out *oor sports and for foreign travel and dvenuture. CURIOUS FACTS. Lapland is the fisherman's paradise.
