Tim was when everybody walked
ud thought It no disgrace. For then
walking was only a degree slower than
tho quickest means of locomotion, and
by that token respectable. Hut who
thinks of walking uowi If you go Into
a shoeshop where Ilfty styled of Hue
footgear are offered you won't llnd a
shoo you could walk a mllu In without
being crippled, and though you call for
tho best grade of stockings they are
worn through tho tlrst tlmo you put
them on If you go afoot. Nobody who
Is anybody Is expected to walk any
more. Tho trolloys and tho devil
wagons have made walking Intolera
bly slow, and the airships, when they
come, will doubtless abolish It for good
and all. And that Is progress. Tim
voice which clamors for stockings thnt
will wear or slices that aro easy Is a
voice out of tho past, the echo of dead
traditions.
It Is ono of tho decrees of fnto that
uo great disaster Is without 1U attend
ant botieflU, A crushing blow may be
dcult a community, but tho country
profit from tho sufferings of those
upon whom mlsfortuno hus laid a
heavy hand. In Ban Francisco a dis
trict twenty-six mile In clrcumfer
enco lien devastated by earthquake and
tire. Coincident with tho announce
ment that tho city will bo rebuilt at
onto, tho llnanclal loss Is placed at
$.'1,000,000. This means that approxi
mately a llko amount will bo expended
for building materials and furnishings
within tho next few years, aside from
tho vast sums that will bo paid for
labor In clearing uway tho debris and
rebuilding the ravaged territory. Food
stuffs, clothing nnd other supplies will
bo required In great quantltlei long
after tho temporary needs of tho suf
ferers havo been relieved by tho ready
responsoof thenatlon to appeals for aid.
In tho upbuilding of n now and greater
city which ambitious and determined
Ban Franciscans aro already planning,
work will bo furnished for thousands
of skilled operatives throughout tho
country. Tho mills and factories will
bo called upon to meet tho require
ment!, and tho present heavy demands
In every direction will bo furthor aug
mented as a result of Ban Francisco's
misfortune. There Is no cnuso for re
joicing In this fact Could even those
who will profit by tho catastrophe hare
had their way they would have de
creed otherwise. Novorthelesa, asldo
from any benefits which may accrue to
that city through Its regeneration, It Is
evident that tho Industrial prospects
of tho nation havo been materially en
hanced through tho losses to which tho
pooplo of Ban Francisco and adjoining
towns have been subjected.
"What hath God wrought It was
tho first public messago ever flashed
by telegraph. That was In 1841. Tho
lightning which Franklin had harness
ed and brought from tho skies wns be
coino tho message-bearer of mnii. And
tho world marveled. Now a swifter
ugent, tho lumlulferous ether, which
permeates the furthest npaco of tho
universe and Is so lleet that It encir
cles the globo In less than tho wink
ing of an eye, has carried n 700-word
messago from the American continent
over tho Atluntlc to tho coast of Eu
rope. And again tho marveling world
exclaims, "What hath God wrought?"
The greater wonder Is not telegraphy,
nor wireless communication, but tho
mind of man which conceived them
both. Tho laws nnd manifestations of
naturo aro changeless. Only tho mind
and spirit of man havo progressed.
His Intellect has becomo so acuto and
no In tuno with tho elements about
him that he Is growing to grasp their
meaning. All naturo Is a wonderland.
Miracles abound on every side. Many
at tho lower animals aro endowed
with senses so acuto as to seem to
man uncanny. Fish can boo In the
darkest depths of tho ocean. Thu
mooso can hear a sound for many
miles. In comparison, man's sight
and hearing aro significant. Hut his
splendid Intellect has ho aided his
senses that with his tclcscopo ho can
gar.0 Into tho furthest mysteries of tho
heavens; with his microscope ho cnu
penetrato tho minutest secrets of In
llultcslmal llfo; with tho X-ray ho can
seo through his very flesh nnd seek
hidden disease and Injury; through
his telephone ho can hear tho voices
of frlonds hundreds of miles away;
and now ho has spanned tho vastuess
of ocean by his understanding of tho
workings of nature. Electricity Ih not
tho wonder of tho age. Wireless teleg
raphy Is not tho modem miracle. Tho
ninrvnloim thing which God hath
wrought Is tho development of tho
mind of man.

Ono day a couplo of my friends were
sitting on tho river bank, when they
heard tho cry of n frog In distress.
Following tho direction from which tho
sound mine, they discovered n Miaku
In tho net of swallowing n frog.
Just then another frog, evidently at
tracted by tho distressing cries of Its
mato In Jeopardy, hopped up to tho
scene of action. For a moment It sat
blinking nt tho enemy; then leaped for
ward, seized tho snako by tho neck and
tugged It Into tho river.
Tho water quickly poured botween
the snako's distended Jaws, and It was,
of course, compollod to roloaso Its vic
tim In order to escape drowning. This
It promptly did, and tho Migrated frog
awnm nwny with Its plucky mate; while
tho bnfllvd snako wriggled, as best It
could, to thai shore. Woman's Homo
