RATEOF HUMANPROGRESS
The great scitntisls, Ilaeckel and
Wallace, have given especial emphasis
to the difference in tho rate of progress
between the natural science's and their
application to llfo, on the one hand,
and tho political and social sci
ence and their application to
life, on the other. Tho phys
ical aspects of our civilization
h&ve been revolutionized In a few gen
orations; and now the discovery of a
new truth in the scientific or technical
held finds almost immediate accept
ance throughout the world and Its ben
efits; are spread as widely as the SO'
cial order allows. In view of this it
is often almost discouraging for those
who are working unselfishly for tho
common good to note how slowly each
stop in the application of well-founded
social truths is made, hi the face of
caste and privilege. For Instance, the
slightest pretence to honesty of purpose
would seem to demand immediate ac
tion, when the fact is published that
the postofllco is compelled to pay, as
yearly rent for a mail car, practically
tne entire cost of the car.
But the rate of progress in the sci
entific and technical field has not, even
In the nineteenth century, been ad
vanced without a struggled A docu
ment has recently been published tn

Ucforo my plan was

Koady-mixed paint aottlos on tho shelves, form

Btandinc in oil, oats tho llfo out of tho oil. Tho
oil i8tho very lifo of nil paints,
I'nmtimulu by tho painter cannot bo proper
ly mado on account of lack of tho heavy misinc
mnchino.
My paint io unlike any other paint in tho world.
It is ready to use, but not ready-mixed.
My paint is mado to ordor after each ordor is
received, packed in hermetically scaled cans
with the vory day it is mado stamped on each

connection. It is an article against .
street illumination, appearing in the
Koelnische Zoitung of March 28, 1819,
in. which street illumination of any
sort was opposed in alt earnestness:
('.) from, theological reasons, since It
would mean an interfering with the .li
ving order, an attempt to alter the
plan of tho universe, of ' which the -darkies
of night is a part; (2) from
legal reasons, since ifc would bo un
just that the cost of such illumination,
if.iscd by taxes, should be borne by
those who have not the 'Slightest inter- ,
est in 'such an arrangement, "whb.e
interests rather oppose it; (3) from
medical reasons, since Ihe -fumes of
the gas are detrimental to health and
since, furthermore, the tarrying on .the
si reels in the night air, which would
be furthered by illumination, would
favor taking colds; (4) from moral
reasons, since illumination would drive
away the fear of darkness, whicu
keens tho weak from mauv a sin. and
since drunkenness and immorality
would be furthered by the lighted
streets: (5) from the police reasons,
since the light would make thieves
bold and horse3 shy; (G) from economic
reasons, since great sums would, year
ly go to foreign countries for the' il
luminating materials; and iinally, (7)
from national reasons, since the im
pression of festive illuminations which
liave the purpose of arousing and rais
ing patriotism would be weakened, by
tne regular evening "quasi-illumina-tions."
These ridiculous arguments,
which a great newspaper in Cologne
as late as the year 1819 deemed worthy
of. printing, aro no more ridiculous
than a great part of the objections
daily raised in conservative journals
against social and political reforms,
which are only the application of dem
onstrated truths.
The restrictions which well-meaning
conservative men think necessary in
the introduction of the referendum,
for example, remind one forcibly of
the provision in the charier of, the Erst.
Oerpian .railway, that a high 'fence''
must bo erected, on both sidesot1 lie'
track lo avoicl the mental disorders
which would' be caused-, by the sight
of a rapidly moving train.
Although the rate of progress to
wards social justice has uil'doubte'dly
been much accelerated in the last two -decades,
it still has some similarity
with the rate of progress in anatomy,
wiieu ic was considered impious to dis
sect the human body, which must re
main intact fob the resurrection of the
last day (othor disturbing influences,
of course, not considered). The sci-'
ence of the anatomy and physiology
of Ihe body politic has made enormous
strides .partly from dissecting the -cadavers
of nations; biifthe sick pa
tiquts of. today still distrust the new "

been enjoying himself greatly felt i
hungry when he got home about one. '
o'clock in the morning. i
'Where did you put the cold cab- '.
bage, dearest?" he called upstairs to
his wife, who had coughed loudly to
let him know it was useless to take
off his shoes.
"On the second shelf In the pantry,
She answered harshly.
He found the cabbage and the oil, i s'
vinegar, salt and pepper, cut up the '
cabbage, dressed it to his taste, and v
ate it with appetite. " . ;,
"George, why didn't you eat the cab-
bage last night?" asked his wife whon I
he appeared, rather shaky, 'for break-: i
