Before these two Powers England stands, ZEAL
GUS and vigi]ant. In Europe she desires to pre
serve her position as first in every sense. In
Australia and India she has two mighty empires.
whose safety she must secure For this reason
she has planted her cannon in line on Gibraltar.
Malta, and the Ionian islands, through the Medi-
terranean, down the Red Sea TO Babel mandeb,
up the Persian Gulf, and on the many isles that
stud the Indian Ocean. For this she sigued the
treaties Of Vienna in 1885, and violated them at
Navarino in 1927, and at Antwerp in 1880, when
she guaranteed the independence of Belgium
For this she is now arming with a rapidity and
energy that throw into the shade all her former
efforts. Her position as first in Europe can best
be preserved by the arts of peace aud the pro-
lection of her industry and trade from the mis-
chances OF war. But can the integrity of the
shortest route to her Indian and Australian en-
pires be guaranteed by the arts of peace? Will
it be insured when France shall virtually govern
on the shores of Italy, and Russia be in actual
possession of the Dardanelles? Can she consent
that the independence of her ward, Belgium,
shall be annihilated, and that the haven-studded
shores Of Holland shall pass into the hands Of a
rival, If not foe? Can she contemplate, with
out misgiving, the gigantic Development of an
unequalled military empire, under the absolute
control Of an ambitious, able and INSCRIPTIONS
dynasty, that has Al,oukir, ST. Vincent, Trafal-
gar, Badajoz and Waterloo to wipe out Of its
escutcheon and to avenge? These are questions

A Hospital for the Lazy.

The New Workers are engaged in cs-
tablishing an Inebriate Asylum, with a
view to reforming their prominent polti-
clans; and in other places there are also
hospitals for idiots, for lunatcs, and
every variety of the mentally or viciously
afflicted. No, not every variety; there
is one variety as yet unprovided for, and
this brings us to the kind most needed.
The Philadelphia Bulletin in speaking OF
hospitals truly remarks:
ave want a Hospital for the Lazy-a
place where incurable loafers and loun-
gers, who never did one days good hard
work, may be treated in kind but firm
manner, which shall gradually lead them
from vagabondizing and sulking, into
habits of rational industry and cheerful
labor Laziness is disease Ike insa-
nifty, it is at times hereditary and at times
brought on by bad habits. Lazy patients
are divisible into two kinds-the down
right, manifest, shamelessly indolent, and
the fussy oilers who say much and do
little-those devotees to the sublime art
of blowing, who make a terrible fuss
over three weeks work at Spring Sales,
and who sit on boxes and counters, cheer
fully conversing until another little whirl
of work comes around in the Fall. The
number of lazy men who make the world
believe that they work, is incredible. -
All of them should be domiciled for few
months in some asylum.
The very lazy in such an institute
should be obliged to begin with active
amusemcnts, which might gradually be
made to assume practical and profitable
nature. Those who have been most no.
torious for vagabondizing might, for ex-
pertinent, be put on the treadmiil, and
interdicted from talking politics or retail
ing scandal; and, by the way, it is an
outrageous libel to say that women, or
old maids, are the greatest gossips, while
such dealers in disgraceful wares, such
pantalooned spinners of street yarns, go
putting around in business hours. Those
who are less lazy might be induced, by
means of rewards, to acquire habits of
employing their odd minutes. While
those who are not constitutionally lazy,
but only sinners through ignorance of
what to do, might be trained in business,
trades, and finally such accomplishments
and tastes as would induce them to occu-
Ply their leisure with something at least
refining and educating
"Nearly all the real Incidence in life
is due to a want Of interest in those sub
ects which stimulate mental action. ~
Idlcness and ignorance are twins. He
who ridicules anything as pedantic, fool
ish, or useless, which learning and expe-
rience recognize as true, is, so far, lazy
ignorant man Whoever keeps his mind
actively employed and earnestly interest
ed, will preserve his mental vigor at an
advanced age. long after the old fogy who
ridiculed his constant employment Of lei
sure in hobbies shall have sunk into
superannuated idiocy or self-satisfed mar
row. mindedness."

Death of Baron Uumbo,df.

The steamer Canada brought the mourn
full tidings Of the death of Baron Alex
ander Won Humboldt, in the ninetioth
year of his age. Though long expected
still the death of this illustrious father of
modern natural sciences, the author of
Cosmos - is deeply felt, and sincerely
deplored by all the true friends of genius
and learning. Baron Won Humboldt
continued his scientific inquiries up 10 the
time Of his death, spending a large 2or-
ton Of each day in experimenting and
corresponding with learned aud distin-
guished men in all parts of the world
Indeed, so burdensome had his CORE
spondence become, that but recently there
appeared in the papers of Europe and
America "card" from this distinguish
ed man, requesting that he should not be
overrun, in his feeble state of health,
with unnecessary correspondence, dedi-
cations Of books, and other matters which
it was impossible for him to notice in the
slightest degree. In this manner hus-
banding his strength, he laborcd on I'M
til death closed his useful career, and
extinguished that brilliant light which
shed its beams over the whole civilized
world.
Frederick Henry Alexander Won Hum
boldt was born on the 18th September,
1863, at Potsdam, near Berlin, PRUSSIA
lie completed his education at the Uni
versities Of Gottingcn and Frankfort,
after Wilhelm company with the ccle-
brated tourist, George Foster-he visit
ed Holland and England, and in 1871,
entered the Academy of Freiburg, in
Saxony, to study under the celebrated
geologist, Werner. In 1892, he became
Assistant in the Mining Department at
Berlin, and afterwards Chief Director Of
the same Department in Baireuth. But
his longing to visit foreign countries in
dnced him to resign this situation. He
then visited France, Italy, and together
with the celebrated Annie Boupland-
Spanish America in 1904. Returning
from thence, he continued his studies in
Europe until 1929, when he visited ST.
IBERIA, the Caspian Sea, and the Ural
Mountains, where he discoved the dia-
mond diggings. Since then he has lived
the principal part Of the time in Berlin,
but occasionally in Paris, London, and
Italy, exclusively occupied in scientific
investigations and studies, and supported
in noble independence by the liberality
Of the King Of Prussia, who treated
Humboldt as a valued friend, and acknow-
lodged his splendid genius, as did all the
crowned heads and nations of Europe,
who joined in doing honor to the Nestor
of Science and Humanity. Penasylgo-

WASHING.

Horace Greedy in a letter to a lady in
Bangor, describes a new machine:
Il think we have the right washing
machine at last II is a philosophical
step forward--a new demonstration of
what science is destined to do for man
and woman. Its principle is that of the
expansion of all elastic Cor non-solid)
bodies when the pressure of the atmos-
phere is removed Il In
the new machine (Which is cast-iron
cylinder, shaped much like churn, but
with an air-tight cover, clothes are put
until it is two-thirds full, and then COW
cred two or three inches with hot or quite
warm water in which soap has been dis
solved. The cover is now put on, and
an air pump is attached TO and penetrat-
ing through the side of the cylinder, is
now rocked by turning crank until the
air is exhausted from the cylinder, when
the clothes gradually swell and dilate to
ill the place of the elected air, pushing
all the dirt which they contain to the
surface Of each garment, where it loosely
adheres, until the cover having been re-
moved they are taken out and rinsed,
when all the dirt falls off as if it were
peeled, and the clean clothes remain. 1t
may take half an hour TO wash fifty
pieces, and another half hour to rinse
them, not more, and no loss Of buttons"

Daily immersion Of the Head.

DR.. Bissell, one of the quarantine ply
sicians at Staten Island, states it as his
opinion that "if the persons hair is
washed and combed every day, he is not
liable to disease" The Norfolk Herald
adds the following testimony:
So important result from 50 simple
cause may seem incredible to many,
but not to US. There is not more eff
fectual preventive of disease than the
immersion Of the head in cold water ev-
cry morning the year round. We know
an old gentleman, now the rise Of seven
ty, who says that until he was thirty
years old, he was Of weakly constitu-
ton, and particularly liable to attacks Of
bilious fever, violent colds and headache;
but having heard that the best prevent
i've Of headache was 10 wash the head in
cold water every morning, Immediately
after rising, he then commenced the
practice, and has continued it to the pre-
sent time, and during the interval of for
ty years has never had the bilious fever,
hardly knows what the headache is, and
though sometimes taking cold, has never
had a cold that hindered him from at
tending to his ordinary affairs; add TO
this, he passed unscathcd through the
terrible epidemic Of 1866"
