Both t.'hristianity and Demo- cracy preserved the weak and forced tho strong to give of their strength to the weak. Nietzsche's ideal so- cial arrangement was one in which there would be a huge, moral, help- less slave class tnastered by a small, active, progressive class, which did not aim at the equality of all class- es, but at the ultimate production, at tho top, of Superman ! All this based upon an amendment to Scho- penhauer, which Nietzsche called "the will to power." The ideA took at once in Ger- many, where, as a mat-tor oj fact, a huge mass is under the heel of a master class the militarists. Pro- fessors, eager to adopt anything so flattering to the class us Nietxsc'ue's philosophy, began teaching it. And this great mass, who 1:1 pass legis- lation only under the i'i'ii?,>rship of the Kaiser, in spite of their vaunt ---d Socialistic strength, has grown up to fancy itself "super." For the beauty of Nietzsche is that he in- veighed against monarchy just enough to allow this mass of which he spoke so witheringly to imagine itself capable of getting into the running in t,he Superman stakes. Anglo-Saxon minds, in the Ins.t fifteen years, have weighed Nietz- sche, and while they put up a pro- tective barrier by claiming he was a product of his time, they admit he was tkmest, that his search for truth was genuine. In short, wo have at last pictured him as a wild, mad man, who, armed with a br<Kim, has fiercely attacked the great edifice of human life, to smash it to piece*; but that hi>; broom has only swept away a lot of dust and grime and tho cobwebs of miscon- ception and error, leaving the vast pillars, the nwussive masonry, shin- ing brighter than ever. For that we havo given him credit. He has been a good honi-e-cleaner ! Hooks Not llcnil.iblr. Nietzsche's books, the greatest of have was his lale Majesty's favorite hob- is not by, his most treasured stick being one which was regularly carried by Queen Victoria. This remarkab'c stick was fashioned from a branch of the Boscob'cl oak which once con- cealed Charles II. when escaping from Cromwell's soldiers. Queen Victoria, had it altered .somewhat, and a little idol from Seringapatam was inserted as a knob. King Kdward's collection of walk- ing-sticks, of course, included all sorts of designs. It was a fact, how- ever, that he preferred as a rule an ordinary crook shape. Indeed, his fondness for this particular de-sign gave not a little impetus to its pop- ularity. Talking of famous waJking-stirk-i and their owners. Messrs. Henry Howell & Co., who arc probably the largest stick makers in the world, recall a curious story of the ominous trick which Charle's I.'s walking- stick played on that unhappy mon arch, for during the famous, trial at Westminster Hall the head of the stick fell off. Bygone mc-narclis were very fond of walking-sticks, and Queen Kliz.i beth put hers to an unpleasant us.-.
