Man looks back with sincere disgust upon his ances- animalism; he regards with honest pride his com- fe emancipation. It seems to him an impassable gulf between his primal C gorging with bloody fangs upon its scarce dead 1” and himself politely tasting with silver fork from lain plate tne pheasant that has fallen to his gun; between this snarling ancestor, stealthily robbing an- other of its prey, and himself, gravely bending his genius tO some master stroke of high finance to benefit his fel- Idw men; or, again, between the ravening packs of these ferocious forebears locked. in deadly fight for the pos- ion of some carcass and his great nation gloriously ing for the propagation of progress and enlighten- t., | Tt seems well nigh impossible that such an abyss could have been spanned. It is rendered jeast inconceivable by—a prize fight. ‘Yes, alas, it is by such a brutal exhibition that our fancy dress is disarranged, our dainty masques are ed awry ard the secret of our flesh and blood is efully revealed. 999-9099-90-5-969-5-946-5-956 $96 04 * OPERATIC FAME. “From the village church choir to the operatic stage fa.a short and main-travelled route. Many there have een that have traversed it—Lillian Blauvelt, Jessie Bartlett Davis, Marian Weed, Nordica and various others, important among whom is Miss Edyth Walker, ‘one of Mr. Conreid's new stars, attested by the approval ‘ofthe Vienna Opera-House as one of the first magnitude. Miss Walker's career is perhaps mainly interesting ecause of her belated discovery of the rare quality of her voice. Musical talent ordinarily manifests itself in qn@elne: procecity. Jenny Jind was celebrated as an Qfiateur,at elevon. Alboni at the same age could read lc at sight, Sontag was singing In public at eight. Strauss, the present musical genlus of Germany, hd composed a symphony at sixteen. Piccolomini at “pixteen had made hor operatic debut.

Of the queens of gong to come from them the number will be hardly large enough for digital enumeration. Some Maine dress- bs 89 daughter, perhaps, may be the sole one to jeve fall honors in a decade. But there is no reward of feminine ambition so great or-so highly prized for the returns of popular adulation it brings, and the number of those seeking it increase agitiually. 4 i a Mi S + ie) Be DAY-AFTER REFLECTIONS. * "Thanksgiving weather rarely attains the perfection of yesterday. Jt was a boon of bright skies and crisp at- mosphere not associated with the day, “So much more of a crime was it in the man who re- qmained indoors after the midday gorging and napped @way the hours he could have devoted to assisting the i assimilation of the over-full meal. It was possible to si "wake the digestion by a walk into an activity which © would have dissipated the languor which the sluggard feels to-day. Holiday sports have this among other benefits that they attract into the open air and wean away from in- door indolence. Golf links are better than pepsin, and the two hours spent in watching a football game sur- pass bismuth in medicinal virtue. The fortunate In- dividual who bas an automobile or a riding horse at his command may make light of the richest plum pudding. “But better than any other form of exercise is the dem- cratic one of walking. It brings all the muscles into gentle action and begets a gratitude in the liver which| that repository of man’s emotions and asptrations repays| -full, a & city where surface cars are within hail of every home, it is but natural that pedestrianism should be ited. Passengers in Broadway cars notice that fully 50 per cent. of the car’s complement of occupants changes every mile. That this should be so gives an idea of how little the legs are depended upon as a means of transit. It would be better to pitch the car fare into the street and walk. THE LATE MRS. AYER.

A story which dates almost back to the Garden of Eden declares thfs inct- dent to have taken place between two small boys, one of whom possessed an apple at which another was enviously gazing. But, then, only men write history. And that {s the way they do it. Having learned her lesson, Eve brought her daughters and her grand- daughters up not to ask for the core. (And they in turn passed the wise in- Junction along from generation to gen- eration until the present time, and it gained force with every year. But about a quarter of a century ago several women were found who were brave enough to repeat the request of thelr mother Bve. y did not ven- ture to ask for a bije Sf the apple, but made the same timlt request for the core, the despised portion of it. And again the descendants of Adam told them that there wasn't going to be any. 0 And Adam's descendants called them new women, though they were In fact as old as Eve. Since then they have wondered among themselves, knowing how very indl- gestible the apple is, what the women want with the core, anyway. For they tiave forgotten that the core is the best part of an apple, since ft contains apple seeds, and that with apple se one can count, "One, I lov: two, I love; three, I love, I say; four, love with all my heart, and five, I c: away; six, he loes; seven, she lov eight, they both love; nine, he com: ten, he tarries; eleven, he courts, and twelve, hi rhe Some of the Best Jokes of the Day.
