From the earliest dawn of civilization, they have been anarchic ! ia spirit and in fact. Only now, driv- en by desperation; are they beginning to grope in the direction of a saner order. Anarchy is no more than belief in the absolute liberty of the individual. Individual nations have claimed and stoutly maintained the right to go a way of their own choosing--unhin- dered 'save by their own weakness and the fighting strength of their neighbors. "Give us lberty!" the uations cried; and in the name of liberty established and maintained a condition of absolute anarchy," In America, land of freedom, there is only comparative freedom. The the head of the household; the head of the household is subject to the or- dinanves of the municipality; the city is subject to the laws of the State; and the State is subject to the laws of the mation, This arrangement, t based on the consent of the people, places sane restrictions upon each po- litical division and keeps all in har- mony. Each division bows to a supe- rior power. Only the nation may run EE 3 Quille honesty contrive to appear much more respectable than we are, This desire to appear to be some- thing we are not proves our undoing. The knave, we say with reason, is one who steals a purse, or cheats at cards, or gets a profit by means of trickery. Why, then, are we at pains to appear more worthy or more wealthy or more wise than we are in fact? Obviously, in the hope of getting a profit. And if we thus by trickery pursue a profit, how shall we deny kinship with the knave? Why does this person4vear an imi- tation stone? To give the impression that he can afford to wear genuine stones. His purpose is to deceive; his intention is dishonest. The mo- tive that prompted purchase of the imitation confessed alike an unman- ly shame in poverty and an unmanly willingness to be content with prais- es not earned. To pretend is to invite contempt, and to earn it. To imitate is to con- fess inferiority. Only the little souls surround themselves with trinkets made to imitate the treasures of the rich; only the shallow gush over books. an@ plays and pictures that have no other merit than the dignity of antiquity or the approval of the critics; only the weak, and the sim- ple pretend to be other than they are. The great souls dare selves. In poverty they eat from a clean pipe board, nor give a thought to the world's opinion; in affluence they have few treasures, but these Of rare beauty. And since they will to be them- amuck without fear of chastisement. Only nations are anarchists. Being anarchists, they resort to arms to set- tle a point of law and come frequent- ly to disaster. - They run amuck for want of a boss. By thelr follies and not ape the world, nor give heed its opinions, it recognizes" in them and finds grace in its silly soul to worship at their feet. \ : crimes they afford convincing proof that virtue will not long endure with- out benefit of a threatened club. Call it a League, or an Association, oT a Federation--no matter; a su- preme authority and power there must be if nations are to be weaned from anarchy and taught to live in peace as states and cities and indi- viduals live in peace.

The seal is, without doubt, the cleverést diver in the animal world, and his nose is a very ingenious contrivance indeed. Each nostril is provided with muscles which close it hermetically at the owner's will. And the shape of the nose is such | 1 jy ' he after school." «trils at the moment of diving has that when the nostrils are closed not a' drop of water can enter, says Tit-Bits.

Now why should the camel require such .an apparatus? He is not troubled with water, but ie is troubled with dust that we see in but the fierce blinding of the desert.
