Nature's wisdom divided the
human race Into two classes
men and women. 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

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,

"Most of the cases raveled

"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

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

SKETCH OF .GOLD WIN SMITH,
. 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. For nearly 40 years he has
lived at "The Grange," near the city
of Toronto. During that period his
life has been devoted to literature,
Journalism, philanthropy and all the
higher duties of citizenship. He has
been and Is still a prollfio writer and
his writings have covered a wide va
riety of subjects. '
