Interest in wealth is a normal desire in man. It marks a distinct stage in the growth of the human individual. Ability to exercise lordship over things is one difference between the, civilized, man and the

The latter neither commands, por marthals, nor compels to his service the limitless re midst he stands; raw tools and flesh and pelts; sources of ores and fibres and forces in whore and such tools as monkeys use almost as capably as himself comprise his wealth; it is not until he begins to exercise his lordship over things, commences to use them, order them, and mould them to his will and imagin. ation, that he becomes a man.

When men want wealth for its own sake, then, our authority argues, the impulse ap pears to be at the intret an instinct which la creative in essence, since primarily it is a desire to control nature and make it subject. to their owo personality. When men want wealth for reasons intrinsic to itself, they are actuated by other desires than the wealth interest, and the matter becomes complicated, since there are six ends in reference to which man acts habitually-health, sociability, know- ledge, beauty and tightness.

"The love of money is the root of all evil! declares St. Paul. In this dictum there is per haps a litteral truth which we have overlooked, suggests our author.

Money, he goes on to say in elucidation, is he empliest wealth that men possess. Money is the opium of industry, The vice of money 灈 Fits insinuation into the place of wealth; for [133 debauches men by leading them to substitute for the exercise of the possessing function habi- tual purchase of personal service.

The wealth produced by mental mastery says Professor Fmalt, "is the regalia of the real man."-Dorothy Fenimore in S. F. Chronicle

TRIBE OF MEN WITH HORNS.

djoining the Chinese prefecture of Chien- Chang is a deep gully baried by a river which to Chinaman is permitted to pass until he finds bail for his good conduct in Lolodom.

The Lolos are A slim, well made, muscular race with oval reddish brown faces, high cheekbones and painted chins from which the beard has been carefully plucked. They are far taller than the Chinese and indeed than any European race, but their marked peculiari. ty is the horn. Every male adult gathers his hair in a knot over his forehead and then twist's it up in a cotton cloth sa that it resem. bles the horn of a unicorn. ́.

This horn is considered sacred, and even if a Lolo settles in Chinese territory and grows a pigtail he still preserves his horn. The Lolo man's principal garment is a wide sleeveless mastle of red or black felt tied about the neck and descending almost "to the heels. The trousers are of Chinese colton with felt

bandages. No shoes are wom, but a conical hat of woven bamboo covered with felt furnishes a head covering as well as an un- brella.

The Chinese divide the Lolos into two classes, which they call, respectively "Black Bones" and "White Doner," the first being the sobles and the latter their 'vassals and retainers. There is also a third class of captive Chinese and their descendants, called "Watzu," prac- [tically slaves, who are tattooed on the forehead

with the mark of their tribe.
