IT IS Imposalhlo coolly to consider this reality (tho vnstnesa of the universe) without being struck with the nstpnlshlng nnd inoxp; cnblo illusion in which tho majority of mankind slumbers. lie hold u llttlo globe whirling Jn tho Infinite void. Hound this globulo 14G0 mllllona of so-called roasonublo beings or rather talkers who know not whenco they come nor whenco they go, each of them, more over, born to die very soon, and this poor humanity has resolved the problem .not of living happily In tho light of nature, but of Buf fering constantly both In body und mind. It does not emerge from Us native Ignorance, It does not rlso to the intellectual pleasures or art and science, nnd torments Itself perpetually with chimerical ninbltloiiB. Strange social organization! This race Is divided Into tribes, subject to chiefs, and from tlmo to time we see these tribes, afflicted with furious folly, arrayed against each other, obeying tho signal of a handful of sanguinary evildoers who llvo at their ex pense, nnd tho InfamouB hydra of war mows down Us victims, who fall llko ripe ears of corn on tho blood-stained fields. Forty millions of men are killed regularly ovory century In order to maintain tho mlcroscopal divisions of a llttlo globulo Into several anthills.

PARIS, Sept. 0. Within Notre Dame thero Is pcaco and an exiiulslte beauty nnd calm.

No tourists come there today. No ldli vIsltorB trend the pavement Into Btnrtllng echoes, with guldos to toll them all tho dates, and all tho deeds that hnvo taken place within the cathedral. Hero In Notre Dame Is the sanctuary from the hot Paris beyond tho wide, open gates, where Charle magne lords It by tho Seine on hi hronzo horse. All sense of war departs boforo the Infinity or rest and peace that hooiiic to stretch far Into the pale and dis tant depths of cool gray column bathed In u pnllld light. Impossible within theso woIIb, to think of the clash or battle or armies marching m tho shock of war. of nations and Institutions and civilization Ifnlllng Into ruin! And those glorious wheo' wlndowB, dlvlno kalcldoBcopca of blue und scarlet nnd nil tho colors that mnn has thought of, are hero unbrok en and untouched, throbbing will harmony, chords of color which tin sun turns to an amazing and vlhrnn iiinlody. Choir Smothers Pnxr Cry. It Is afternoon, Outside tho rlty If somnolent In tho heat of tho day. Through tho great bronze gates, open now for nil comers, tho cry of a news pnpor heller comes like a phantom cry from nn unrenl world: "La Patrle ... La Patrle." Within tho sound Is lost In tho swelling music of a choir hidden behind the altar, sweet voIcch lost somewhere In tho palo re cesses or mystical pillars.

Pruyeix for Victory. Now comes a woman of the mar kets, corpulent nnd ruddy faced, fresh from her bartering.

She kneels heforo the virgin and hums a llttlo candle and prays, and even as she prays an other figure creeps slloutly up nnd kneels beside her a young girl of tho middle class, daintily dressed, as all are.

Pray Hand In Hand. Women kneel on tho bnro stones before tho chapol, old women who must remember tho last war and tho terrors of the communo, and old men who have given the best or their sons to France.

In view of the fact of the reported proximity of tho Japanese cruiser Id zumo to the Pacific Coast and the coming to this coast within a short time of several vessels of the Austra lian fleet, local shipping men are speculating as to what will become of tho German ship Kurt, whtch sail ed from Santa Ilosalla yesterday for Portland, Or., with a rich cargo of general merchandise. Despite tho fact that tho captain of the Kurt is familiar with the war conditions which exist and will do all In his power to avoid coming Into contact with any hoBtlle war vessels, it is ex tremely doubtful whether ho will reacn nis destination with, his com mand without molestation.
