Plato, the grc.it Greek philosopher tells us that man and woman were originally one, a creature with four arms and four legs. The gods living above became Jeal ous of men and afraid of them. They cut the four-legged, four armed human being In two pieces, thus creating two halves, each with two legs and? two arms. They shrewdly ' guessed that each half would- spend its time looking for the other half and leave the gods alone. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AX ISSUE. The excerpt below from the Journal of Man of Chicago, is submitted not at all in any spirit of controversy, or endorsement, or non-endorsement. It is, in short, submitted , wholly and solely in the way of information and dispassionate discussion. Christian Science is a factor which ' modern Christianity and modern philosophies vhich have no especial religious slg n'flcance at all, have to allow for and deal with, whether or no. The Journal of Man is entirely neutral: Christian Science in Chicago .has drawn upon all ranks and walks of life for in followers, and the lawyer and corporation head rubs shoulders with the hodcarrler and salesgirl. At the "testimonial meetings" which are held In the churches Wednesday iilghts it is not uncommon for a bank er to be followed in his tale of how Christian Science saved him by a day workman whose experience has been similar. Beginning with the First ' church, which' was dedicated in 1897, and ending with the Fifth church, which saw its dedication Just 10 years later, the Chistlan Scientists of Chicago have put Into operation a building policy which has resulted in the erection of five churches which in size and ar chitectural value compare with any religious edifices In the city. " In capacity they are built to hold large congregations; The First church, nt Drexel boulevard and 41st street, cost $108,000 to build, and Beats 1600; the Second, at Wrightwood and Pine Grove avenues, cost $110,000, as did the Third, at Washington boulevard and Leavitt street, and each has the same capacity as the - First.. The Fourth church, at Harvard avenue and 67th street, cost $90,000, and holds 1000; with the Fifth church, lo cated at 48th street and Madison avenue, has the same capacity, but It ads in the cost of building, repre senting an expenditure of $127,000. In addition to Its churches the sect maintains at 6 Madison street, a cen tral reading room, supported by all churches, where the church publica tions and literature are kept and dis seminated. Something of the earn- eftness with which the followers of Mrs. Eddy pursue the study of their religion may be estimated when It is known that the attendance atthe reading room averages 2000, a week; and the annual sale of book and periodicals is $ 22,000. v Over 6200 copies of MrsT Eddy's books' were sold in one year. ' f ' The beginning of Christian Science in Chicago was small, almost micro scopic. One or two students of heal ing began It. That was in 1883. Like all new movements the start was slow, although In 1884 enough results had been obtained to hold a meeting of a dozen persons who testified that they had been healed through Christian Science, and owed allegiance to the new religion. But It was two years later before anything resembling an organization was founded. Then the first class of students, 28 In number, banded together to promulgate their l.e'llef. In the meanwhile the leader of the church, Mrs. Eddy, had paid two visits to the city, and each vUlt gave some alight Impetus to the small movement. While the First church really was organized in 1886, It was 11 years before it was large enough or rich enough to contemplate the erection of Its own building. So real ly it took 14 years for Christian Scl- ' ence to get its firm foothold in Ctal- cago. . . ' Aftef'-this, after the dedication of tfie First church,' the growth has been startling, all things considered. The advance made lit the second decade of its history hero was' 700 pfer cent over what the .first 10 or 12 years had to show. Practically one church per nnnum has been organized since 1899, and in the last two years the building plans have materialized more than one building a year. These are re sults that mTist be respected. What Is the caViso of this church's advance? ' . ';.,'.. ; Ask- the. question tf any Christian Scientist thoy . are all of one Rrado a;id the answer will be unsatisfactory loths average citizen, being to the offset that the power of God, mani fested, Is "ihe cause.' v Considered by, the ImpartiiU observer who has no ax to grind, the answer must bo: Be cause here Is something tBut the peo ple who want this sort of thing want it badly. , -i r " . "r V "I use my religion every day," said one member of the church, a member of the bar. "That's why I nm a Christian Scientist." But by far a majority of the mem bers In answering the question. Why are you a Christian Scientist? would say, "Because It healed me." . Of the 4000 members of the church here It Is claimed that 90 per cent were healed of some bodily affliction through the new religion. Of thls number a large percentage assert that they werecured after physicians had failed to benefit them.' Naturally there could be no firmer adherents to a cause than those who have or think they have been so greatly en eflted through its teachings and prac tices. It is easy to smile when a harebrained fanatic tells of a modern miracle; but when a . hard-headed business man In the most casual tone of voice tells you how. he was cured of a fatal intestinal disorder by Chris tian Science It Is time to sit up and think. . FOR A PERMANENT COURT. The American proposition regard ing the establishment of a permanent court of arbitration at The Hague was adopted by the committee before v.hlch the proposal has been argued. There were 25 affirmative votes, and 12 delegates were absent. The vote was taken after an explan atory speech by James Brown Scott of the American delegation and a stirring appeal from M. Bourgeois of France, who, after summarizing the discussion, warmly supported the American proposal. The French states. man declared that the United States deserved the gratitude of the civil ized world for having brought for ward a. proposal to constitute an In stitution which might prove to be the glory of the present century. Is the character, or intrinsic right or wrong of a deed, determined by the motive behind It? The Annapolis trial for murder has ended In a ver diet of "Not guilty," recorded with reference to a case in which, appar ently, the seduction of a young girl was avenged by her mother and by her brother. This is the third result of its kind which has attended an American murder trial within month. A robust .morality' In matters of sexual behavior Is "supposed to Justify it, and to be vastly to the credit of national feeling; but the substitution of revenge for justice has found, . in fact, no apology but that of the phll osophlc critics who say that. In the case of lynch- law, it confesses a total want of public confidence in the probity of American Judges and Juries. SARATOGA'S. "SPORTY SET." It's not the medicinal waters only tourists drink them that makes Sar atoga: It's the races. After the lunch. eon, the great hotels are emptied. All the world makes a rush for the race' track Mme. Modiste like a princess royal In her perfect victoria. The so ciety women sit at the right hand of the enormous stand, facing the track at the end near the club- house. Clarence JUackay, always lmmacu lately dainty, with white trousers and blue coat, watches the start from the judge's stand. August, Bilmont, too. Is often up there. Mrs. Joseph Wldener, the lit tle beauty from Philadelphia, who loves to plunge; Mrs. Clarence Mack ay, who looks amiably tolerant of it all; " "tailor-made" Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., who never placed a bet In her life, though her husband's horses, with their tails all tied wlthj green ribbon, are famous; and gentle, auburn-haired Mrs. Herman B. Dur yea these are. some of the well known matrons -you will meet, says the August Delineator. There Is a wild cry, "They're off!" and the great stand creaks and throbs with the madness of It all. There Is a rush of men like black ants surging toward the fence close to the track. The bands play with a crash that sends notes like brass cannon balls Into the air. After the races, there Is the drive to the polo grounds, or to the restaurant at the lake sven miles from the grand stand. LABOR DAY 25 J'EARS OLD. In the United States the first Mon day in September of each year Is La bor day. It Is a legal holiday In all the states and territories except Ne vada and. North Dakota. In Louisiana it applies to Orleans parish and In Wyoming upon the. governor's procla mation. This holiday was inaugurated In 18S2 by the Knights of Labor, who held a parade 'In .New York.. In 1887 the first law in favor of Labor day was passed in Colorado, and other states, Including ihe District ,ot Columbia, have since fallen into line. In Europe the celebration of May 1 as Labor day was begun in )8l0 with clght-hmir demonstrations. In 4he I'nlted States May day Is cele brated by the Socialist Labor party, which borrows Its sentiments nnd In centive from beyond the seas.

Sentimental, yet business-like and well-to-do In worldly goods, altruistic yet every inch a fighter, honest as the sun, yet shrewd as a Yankee peddler, Mr. Miller would be. anything but a flgurhead, even among the great men of Washington. Sunset Magazine. WHY THE SOUTH IS GOING "DRY." Ray, Stannard Baker's articles on the negro, entitled "Following the Color Line," now running in the American Magazine, are really a great indictment of the saloon. Mr. Baker Investigated the police court at Atlanta.- "Most of the cases raveled out," he says, "lead back to the sa loon." eH also reports: "Five days before the riot of last September, a committee of the city council visited some 40 saloons one afternoon, and by actual count found 2455 negroes (and 152 white men) drinking at the bars or lounging around the doorways. In some of these saloons conducted by white men and permitted to exist by the city authorities pictures of nude white women were displayed as an added attraction." FATE. ' James A. Banta, the oldest engineer on the Illinois Central railroad, was struck by an engine and Instantly killed while crossing the tracks yes terday, says a Chicago dispatch. For 44 years Banta had driven or stoked engines over the tracks on which he met his death and had survived four wrecks without injury. Banta, who was 62 years of age, was struck by a train which he- had himself driven for 10 years. He was soon to retire on a pension. Among dangers that Banta surviv ed before he met his ordinary sort of death were the explosion of his loco motive boiler, twice running Into an open switch and once falling through the cab window while the locomotive was running full speed. THINGS NOT TO DO AT TABLE. Erasmus, the old Dutch philosopher and theologian. In his curious essay "On Behavior at Meals," remarks that It Is "very rude to blow one's nose on the tablecloth" or to "wipe one's fin gers orr one's neighbor's coat." He also advises the guest "not to give dogs your bones to crack under the table or feed the cat or encourage animals to jump ort the table. This may offend your host or lead to the soiling of his carpet." An admonition that might well be observed in the present day. "Above all," he says, "do not lick your plate. It is an act that ill becomes a cat, let alone a gentleman." . "When you have 1.000,000 $1 bills," says a Missouri editor, "and pile them on top on one another and you want to take off the top one, you will have to reach 278 feet. If you had the amount In silver dollars the pile would be one-half mile high and so on. We know because we tried It one night, but the bed broke down and we woke up." Ex. "Every knock Is a boost" that puts some people up Into the air. IkODsands Hare Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect tt How To Find Oat.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. ' If you need a medicine yma should have the best.

Hemphill is out for the seat of United Slates Senhtor Latimer of South Carolina. Major Hemphiil belongs to an old South Carolina family and is known as a scholnr and an orator of rare attain ments.

He says he doesn't want the Job. United States District Judge LandlR, who Imposed the fine of $29,000,000 upon the Standard Oil company,' is now mentioned as a possible candi date for the republican nomination for governor of Illinois.

Of the seven men whase names are now most prominently mentioned with the republican nomination for the presidency six are identified with federal official life at- the present time. And the seventh, Leslie M. Shaw, only recently retired from the president's official family. Winston Churchill, the novelist, who has entered politics and who was a candidate for governor of New Hampshire last year, has developed strong political convictions, and his friends expect him to figure proml oenely In national affairs before many years go by. It Is interesting to note that only one member of the house of represen tatives has reached the presidency at te time of his Incumbency In the house. That was James A.

Dr. Qoldwln Smith, the celebrated historian and publicist, was born Au gust 13, 1823. He is an Englishman by birth, but has lived In Canada for nearly 40 years. His education was received at Eton and Oxford. In 1864 he first visited the United States on a lecturing tour. Prior to that time he had been noted tn England at a writer and educator. He met with an ' enthusiastic reception In America, and Brown University con ferred upon him the honorary degree of LL. D. On his return home he published works dealing with the re lations between England and Ameri can civil war. In 1868, having resigned his chair at Oxford, he settled in the United States as a professor at Cornell Uni versity. This post he occupied till 1871, when he removed to Canada, where he was for a time a member of the senate of the University of Toronto.
