The ostensible purpose of the ad

give opportunity to tiie accountants on
both sides to get together and agree
upon certain facts relating to the
mathematics of the controversy. Noth

carry out the purpose of the adjourn

the miners' accountants were ready to
go nhead with the work and with the
consent of the operators will enter upon
this task today.
There was a story afloat yesterday
to the effect that President Mitchell hud

No Prior Epoch In Human History
Begins to Compare in Grandeur of
Achievements with That in Which
We Live.
From the New York Sun.
A posthumous essay by John Fiske.
on "Evolution and the Present Age."
appears in Harper's Magazine for No
vember. It lias the beautiful lucidity
and nice sense of proportion which al
ways distinguish the literary work of
Sir. Fiske and bring clearly to the pop
ular comprehension the most profound
questions of scientific thought. That is,
his style Is the modern style, and Itself
is one of the products of the historical
evolution and intellectual Illumination
or which lie writes In this essay. John
Fiske was a man of rare simplicity and
genuineness of character who, forget
ting himself, without 11 trace of self
consciousness, was wholly absorbed In
ids effort to obtain a mastery of his
subject, iu order to elucidate it'. Thence
comes the charm of his style.
Am Sir. Fiske starts out' by saying in
this essay, it is a commonplace to speak
of the age In which we are living as
wonderful In Its material und intellec
tual progress. Between the nineteenth
century and all past time there is a
gulf so broad that it "may be said to
mark a reparation between two dis
tinct epochs in the history of man. The
chief characteristics of this new era
nre defined by Sir. Fiske as, "on the
material side, the creation of median
leal force, and. on the Intellectual side,
the unification of natute."
Uefore the Introduction of steam the
world was very much the same as It
had been iu the time of Nineveh and
Habylon. Tiie domestication of oxen
and horses iu the dim historic past hud
given acceleration to human progress.
uui me movement was slow and incon
siderable as compared with that which
started under the impulsion of steam.
Transportation by lund and by sea had
been the same since Caesar's day and.
generally, the characteristics of civil
ization hud continued unchanged, with
man's own innseulur energy, supple
mented by the strength of beasts and
the use of comparatively primitive
tools In Ills hands, doing the work ot
the world's production. From Joseph
Hlnck, with his discovery of latent heat,
to James Wall, with his discovery of
the steam engine, down to the latest
discoveries In electricity, "there litis
been the unbroken sentience of achieve
ment" which has transformed the whole
race of the world and Introduced a new
and distinct era,
"A man can now travel the whole
length of the earth's circumference In
less time than It would have taken
Herodotus to go the length of the .Med
iterranean." "Not only have numc.roiiH
petty manufactures, formerly carried
on Iu separate households, given place
to gigantic f'uctorles, but the organism,
tlou of every Industry .bus been pro
roundly modified by railways and tel
egrnphs," Combination and eoneentiu
tlon of the forces of production and dis
tribution, we may add, have been made
possible and Inevitable, and In the
"trust system," us it Is called loosely
and inaccurately, has begun a new de

the intioduetlon of the steam engine,

It used In be considered that only urinary nnd
bladder troubles were to be traced to the kid
neys, but now modern science proves that
nearly all deseases have their beginning in the
disorder ot these most Important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the bloodthat
Is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out
of order, you can understand how (illicitly your
entire body ta affected, .and how every dvgnn
seems to fall to do Its duty.
If you arc sick or "feel badly," begin tuklng
the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Hoot, because as soon os your kidneys are well
they will help all the other organs to health. A
trial will convince anyone.
Weak und unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and If permitted to
continue much suffering with fatal results are
sure to follow. Kidney trouble Irritate the
nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and
irritable. Slukes you pass water often during
the day and obliges you to get up many times
during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause
rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder,
pain or dull ache in the back joints and mus
cles; makes your head ache and back ache,
causes indigestion, stomach and liver trouble,
you get a sallow, yellow complexion, makes you
reel as though you had heart trouble; you may
have plenty of munition, but no strength; get
weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles .Is Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the world famous kidney remedy.
in tuking Swamp-Root you afford natural help
to Nature, for .Swamp-Root Is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that Is
known to medical science.
If there is any doubt iu your mind as to your
condition, take from your urine on rising about
four ounces, place It In a glass or bottle and let
It stand twenty-four hours. If on examination
It is milky or cloudy, if there Is a brick-dust
settling, or if small particles float about In It,
your kidneys are in need of immediate attention.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used
In the leading hospitals, recommended by phy
sicians In their private practice, and Is taken by
doctors themselves who have kidney ailments,
because they recognize In it the greatest nnd
most successful remedy for kidney, liver nnd
bladder troubles.

Hoot is what you need, you can purchase the

mind." With the discovery and pro
mulgation of the doctrine of evolution,
a product of the nineteenth century.
has come an Intellectual development
which brcadly separates this era from
all past time. We do not need to pre
sent the evidence o the marvellous,
transformation as it Is marshalled by
Sir. Fiske, for every man of Intelligence
knows of it. The whole current of hu
man thought has been changed. That
doctrine has not only revolutionized
thought, but its very terms have
entered into the common speech. The
human mind has been lifted
Into a. new light and a new
method has been introduced Into
its study. ' We have learned that
"the same kind of forces were at work
a hundred million years ago that are at
work today, and that the lessons gained
from our familiar experiences may
safely be applied to the explanation of
phenomena the most remote In time as
well as hi space."
This modern method we must apply
also to the study of contemporaiy
events and movements and experiments
if we would gain the full profit of the
new illumination, but, as Sir. Fiske
points out, it Is there that we fall most
to be guided by its true light. AVe still
cling to the old childishness which ex
pressed Itself in "a naive faith that
some sovereign decree, or some act of
parliament, or some cunningly devised
constitution, or some happily planned
referendum will at once accomplish the
desired result" of social reformation.
Leagues nnd clubs of "reformers" pro
ceed on the theory' that In legislation
there Is to be found a panacea for so
cial Ills. They arc dextrous In devising
machinery to right the world, according
to their notions, but they forget to take
account of the element, which, after all,
Is the most Important the clement of
human nature. They pin their faith to
legislation as ihe source fromwlieli to
get the sovereign remedy, though, as
Sir. Fiske, observes, they are confront
ed with "the fact that In almost all
statute books nine-tenths of the legis
lation comes under the class which
might be Introduced as an act to repeal
an act," At this particular time, "re
forniers" of a spirit handed down from
the old era are bending their energies
to the construction of legislative meth
ods of holding back the Irresistible
progress of the principle or Industrial
combination, which Is to give to this
twentieth century a distinction us great
and happy as that which made" the

Slore and more, to use the concluding
words of Sir. Fiske's stimulating essay,
"man is now justified In feeling himself
as never before a part of nature; that
the universe is no inhospitable wander
ing place, but his own home; that the
mighty sweep of Its events from age to
age Is but the working out of a cosmic
drama in which his part Is the leading
one; and that all Is an endless mani
festation of one ull-pervading creative
Power, protean in its myriad phases,
yet essentially similar to the conscious
soul within us."

MEXICO'S BIG TREE.

There stands a tree in the tropics of

City to the little hidlun village of Tule,

This giant of a prehistoric forest Is
known as the Tule tree, the name being
pronounced in two syllables and as
though It were spelled Tu-lee. In past
years m.uny trees have come to thu
front as claimants to the distinction
of being the largest tree in the world,
and not infrequently one of these Im
porters secures that honor.
Only a short tinut ago a new tree was
discovered in California of the Mariposa
variety, and It vvus henralded as thu
biggest tree the world, its clrcum
fereucu being 10U feet. The big Tule
tree is forty-live feet two Inches to the
good of this new western wonder, and
the fact that Its position lias not hither

There nre many California trees
which would umbo more lumber than

It "tabes two looks to see the top,"
and twenty-eight people standing with
outstretched arms and touching llnger
tlps can scarcely encircle th" trunk.
The tree stands In tlio churchyard of
S.inta .Maria del Tule, and many scien
