He wasn't the last of his kind, I say. For ever and aye, as the aeona run And the fray earth whirls in its old, old way. A sage is a rarity under the sun. Who is it barters his soul for naught!

Satan often suggests what church members should wear to church on Sunday morn inc. Prayer is not conquering God's reluctance, but laying hold upon God's williogness. Phillips Brooks. A hundred preachers lecture psople on working for God where one shows people bow to love God, out of which true work proceeds. A child on being asked if she thought God would answer prayer, stid with beautiful childish simplicity, "Why, of coune he will; that is -what he is for." The world is full of reformers who need reforming. The wonder is that they have never discovered a method by which to deal with them selves, while they are prolific o' schemes to set others right. God can do great things with' our lives if we but give them to him In sincerity. He can make them use ful, uplifting, heroic. God never wastes anything. God never forgets anything. God never loses anything. Though he holds the worlds in the hollow of his hand, he will yet remem ber each of us and the part we are fit- -tad to play In the eternal drama. Anna Brobert son Brown. The best man is liable to fall Into sin. Under severe trial and great provocation, he may be led, momen tarily, to do and say things that, in the calmer moment, his conscience and judgment disapprove.

ROOSEVELT AT MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Recipient o! a Continual Ovation from Throngs of People 1 bat Crowded the Streets. AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION. Speeches ua the Tariff and Reciprocity, the President Treaties Extensively of tbe Cabaa Sltaatloe Ad dress at the University. Hi TtieeroB to tn Morning scat. Mirnkapous, Ml5H., April 4. The most enthusiastic reception ever ten dered any man In the twin cities was that to President Roosevelt today. From the time he arrived to-night until his departure from Minneapolis at 11 o'clock for the WesJ, he was the recipient of a continual ovation, tbe streets through which he passed in both cities being a solid mass of people and Armory Hall, at the University of Minnesota, being crowded to Its limit ed capacity. Tbe speech, which was on tariff and reciprocity brought out the enthusl is a, the President treating; extensive ly of the Cuban situation, declaring that we must have military and naval control of (Southern waters, and say ing that the United States is the most prosperous nation ever known. It was considered a great speech and the crowd pushed forward to shake his hand, which was denied them. Thousands of persons lined theroute of the private electric cars that brought the distinguished guest and party from Br. Paul, perhaps two hun dred thousand personr, altogether, having seen him in the two cities Before going to the armory the President was prevailed upon to ad dress the students of the university in the chapel. The hall was crowded to its limit, and Mr. Roosevelt spoke to the students briefly, after tbe tenor of his two speeches to college students in Chicago. He was then driven to the armory, where he was Introduced by President Northrup, of the Minnesota University. 'Speech at St. Paal. Bt. Paul, Minn., April 4. Presi dent Roosevelt spent but three hours in this city this afternoon before being whisked over to Minneapolis in Presi dent Thomas Lurry's private electric car, for an equally strenuous period in that city. The President waa driven with a military escort, to thecspltol when tbe House and Senate in j)in session re ceived him with cheers, thrice repeat ed. Previous to his arrival Arch bishop Ireland bad delivered an elo quent prayer for the prosperity of tbe nation and its chief executive, and as soon as the legislators were teated after greeting the President, Speaker Bibcock Introduced him. President Roosevelt spoke at some length on his well known views as to good citlienship. Tbe President then addressed a great crowd in front of tbe capitol, referring to his letter on "race suicide," stating that while the latter had attracted much more atten -tion than he imagined it would, yet he was glad of It; that he re-affirmed in strong tones the aentimenta e therein expressed, and believed that 'the dis cussion which had been created would have a marked effect upon the race. We were, he said, by the amalgama tion of foreign nationalities, the Inter marriage of the sturdy foreign emi grant who had sought our shores, evolving a new race an American race. WABASH TROUBLE SETTLED. Differences Between Officials and Em ployes Satisfactorily A Raited A Victory for Organised Labor. By Telegraph to the Horning star. Bt. Lowis, April 4. After four months of controversy between the employes of the Wabash road and the officials of the system, during which at one time a strike waa imminent, and was prevented only by an injunction restraining the employee from vacat ing their posts, and which Injunction waa dissolved last Wednesday, the dif ferences were finally adjusted and the controversy effectually and satis factorily settled this evening. Officials of the brotherhoods representing the employes declare the settlement emi nently satisfactory and a sweeping victory for organised labor. The Wabash officials declare that all differences with the employes have been finally terminated in a satisfac tory manner and that their future re lations in all probability will be most harmonious. . The following are the main pointa embraced in the settle ment: Twelve per cent increase for con ductors, brakemen and baggagemen In the passenger service and fifteen per cent, for conductors and brakemen in the freight service, over the rates which existed January 1, 1902, west of the Mississippi river. CHISAGO'S ELECTION. Hotly Contested Mayoralty Campilfi. Tbe Outcome Still Uacerfali. By Telegraph to tne Morning Star. Chicago, April 4. With the most hotly contested mayoralty campaign in Chicago's history practically ended, the outcome is still uncertain in the opinion of Impartial observers. Chairman Revel, of tbe Republican campaign committee, who at the be ginning of the fight estimated that the Republican ticket would win by a margin of 47,009, adheres to the figure, Mr. Stewart himself expresses the opinion that there will be practically a Republican landslide. Chairman Carey, of the Democratic county central committee, declares that Mayor Harrison will have more votes to spare than two years ago. Mayor Harrison adheres to his predic tion of a week ago that he will win by 25,000 to 80,000. In anticipation of hla approaching1 marriage to Miss Cathleen G. Neilson, of New York, Reginald O.

That I wish distinctly under stood. Whether she had any private grief of her own to avenge I don't know. At any rata, she might have ac complished the same result withon publicly wounding any one's feelings. Herbert Vincent was an athlete and a good fellow with one special weak nesshe was easily led by women. But as all men are more or less weak In this respect Herbert was not blamed by his friends. Indeed, there was aome thing amusing Id the violence of his love affairs. At last, however, he set tled down to two women. He was very fond of ue young girl. Hazel Abbey, and lu love with a widow, Mrs. Ara bella Bates. Miss Abbey was too young and inexperienced to cope with Mrs. Bates, who drew the massive body of Mr. Vincent in her wake as a tug will draw a ship. Hazel would have ruined all by a display of jealousy had it not been for Mrs. Spicer, who In the ways of the world could discount the widow and give ber points besides. "You keep away from Herbert," said Mrs. Spicer, "while the fever is on him. Sooner or later it will pass away." Hazel had the good sense to take the advice, and she went away for a visit. One evening Mrs. Spicer was chat ting with Herbert at a ball. Mrs. Bates was' present, -end, passing the couple on the arm of a cavalier, she gave Vincent a smile that displayed a set of- very white and regular teeth. "Oh, if I had such teeth as Mrs. Bates," said Mrs. Spicer, throwing up her hands dramatically, "I'd not ask for another beauty." "They are as white as her unblem ished soul!" exclaimed Vincent. ; "If I were a man and had a ladylove with euch teeth, I would never rest till I had one of tbem for a keepsake. I'd wear it next my heart." Vincent made no reply, but the next time he was left alone with Mrs. Bates he entered into raptures upon what he called "pearl crescents," meaning her upper and under rows of teeth, asking her to give him one little tooth from an unexposed place. The widow demur red, spoke of the dreadful pain she would suffer, the fact that the tooth would never grow again in fact, made every excuse lu reason and beyond rea soubut Herbert pleaded and whined and threatened till at last he secured a promise that be should have his heart's desire. A few days later he called on Mrs. Bates and recti; I the tooth, wrapped In a bit of wul.e, scented tis sue paper. Tbe widow showed him the spot left vacant, whereupon he gath ered her in his arms. The next time Vincent met Mrs. Spi der, while he was leaning over to pick up luer handkerchief, she caught sight of a delicate gold chain which had be come entangled In tbe collar button at the . back, of his neck. Slip knew he waa wearing the tooth. Before the close of the social season Mrs. Spicer gave a cotillon party at which Mr. Vincent, Mrs. Bates and Miss Abbey were present. Mr. Vincent was somewhat troubled at the presence of the two women who held the chief place in his heart; but, as usual, the widow, by superior "push," carried the evening and secured her admirer for a partner. Miss Abbey, seeing him car ried off, turned her face to the wall to hide her vexation, then faced about and accepted for n partner a meek look ing young man who had asked lur. Mrs. Spicer made a list of the figures in the dance which she gave to the leader. This was one of them: A lady would place an ivory bit in tbe mouth of another lady and with a pair of fancy reins drive her to the gentleman with whom she was to dance the fig ure. A number of ladies had been thus driven when the hostess appeared be fore Mrs. Bates and, placing the bit between her teeth, drove her once around the room, then stopped before Mr. Herbert Vincent. Just as he was about to put his right arm about his partner Mrs. Spicer gave a terrific Jerk on tbe reins, with a sawing motion, that nearly pulled the widow over backward. There was a shriek, and a double set of false teeth fell on the floor. Mr. Vincent waa a true cavalier. The teeth had scarcely touched the floor when he dropped his handkerchief over them, picked It up with tbe teeth, and before any one but himself and one or two Immediate bystanders had een what had happened he sailed away with Mrs. Bates. After once or twice circling the room he paused before the doorway and, leading his partner into the hall at the foot of tbe staircase, handed her the teeth, still luclosed in the handkerchief. Catching at them, she turned and hurried away to the ladles' robing room. Herbert Vincent and Mrs. Spicer were not again on speaking terms that season. He bitterly condemned her for her ungracious act, though the lady went about with a self satisfied air, as though she had accomplished a great feat. Vincent's next call upon Mrs. Bates was fraught with embar rassment. He was so considerate as to swear eternal devotion, but his words had a hollow sound that did not deceive the widow, who knew that the end of her reign bad come. Her' lover left her feeling very uncom- fortable and, needing a solace for his disturbed feelings, dropped In by the way to console himself with a visit to Miss Hazel Abbey. Hazel, who had. learned of the device of her friend In her own behalf, had the good sense to pretend Ignorance of it and made her self very agreeable. That's the end of the story. Mr. Vin cent was landed safely in tbe inatrime-: nlal net held by Mrs. Spicer and the catch turned over to Miss Abbey. F. A.

Nearly every one has heard of the tuatara, the curious, iguanalike look ing: creature now found on only one or two islands off tbe ctVjst of New Zea land and supposed to be the oldest liv ing type of animal on the face of the globe. One of the most curious fea tures is an organ on the head which at one time was spoken of as the pineal gland, but which Dr. Dendy dis covered to be in reality a third eye. Hla paper on the subject caused the greatest interest In scientific circles, and, as an illustration of the way In iwhlch research is specialized nowa days, It may be mentioned that while Dr. Dendy devoted . himself to the etndy of the third eye one distinguish-, ed English biologist Is "working out" the skeleton, another the kidneys, etc. t More recently Dr.' Dendy has dlscov 'ered another New Zealand creature possessing a third eye. This Is the New Zealand lamprey, a favorite article of food among the Maoris. The third eye Is situated right on top of the bead and is covered with a thin coating of skin. It Is doubtful whether It is now, of any practical use for seeing, but Dr. Dendy believes that at one time, far back in the world's history, there were two eyes on the back of the lamprey's bead. He is further of the opinion that at one time tbe "tuatara also had two eyes where now only one remains. In the tuatara It Is the left eye which has survived, while in the lamprey it is the right one. Tbe English lamprey has only two eyes end Is to that extent Inferior to Its New Zealand congener, but It has its compensations, for was it not re corded in our history books at school that an English king died from eating too many lampreys? Melbourne (Aus tralia) Argus. Artllclal Lobster Culture. . For many years, both in Europe and this country, the artificial propagation of lobsters has presented an unsolved problem. Now, at last. Professor H. C. Bumpus of the American Museum of Natural History has discovered the secret of success. His discovery comes at an opportune moment, because for five years past the supply of lobsters has been decreasing. The method of Professor Bumpus depends upon keep ing the water in which the Jobster fry are placed after hatching in constant motion, for, if allowed to settle, the fry smother or devour one another. By this device the young lobsters are suc cessfully reared until at the age of from nine to sixteen days they are able to take care of themselves. Tbe United States Fish commission is plan ning to restock the depleted waters along our coast with lobsters batched and reared in the manner described. WaTei In Solid Metal. Professor Roberts-Austen, in talking before the institution of civil engi neers in London about advances In metallurgy and engineering, demon strated that solid metals might reveal by their structure the vibrations to which they had been subjected. In ex plaining this phenomenon experiments were shown proving that a beautiful wave structure can be Imparted to the surface of mercury by the vibrations of a tuning fork and that even the sur face of solid lead which has been sub jected to similar vibrations possesses a structure resembling that of a vi brating surface of mercury. Mild steel waa defined by Professor Roberts Austen as a "solid solution" of iron and carbon, free from cinders. Metal lurgists have doubled the strength of steel as it was known in its early days.
