Less Labor and More Happiness.

We favor a system that shall contri-
butte most to the happiness of the indi-
vidual and the class. If the one hour
saved from labor be devoted to intel
lectual improvement, it is well. If the
laborer thus released applies his leisure
hour to his own domestic business, to
his garden or his shop, to his needed
rest or the education of his children, to
the pleasant interchange of ideas and
goodwill between neighbors, to almost
anything except dissipation, idleness
and debauchery--itw will prove a blessing,
taking him out of the enforced treadmill
of grinding toll, and giving him a status
in the world above that of the mere
toiling serf.
One hour q day saved from slavisl
toll, if rightly employed and improved
can be the means of creating a new
class of men---new in their capacities
for enjoyment, and for toll itself. The
devotion of one hour day to self-edu
cation, to mental development, can dc
what has so often been done before
transform mere drudges into thinking
intelligent beings, with their capacities
for healthful enjoyment increased il
proportion to the cultivation of thei
intellects. But this will not be the re
suit to the man who covets the on
hour saved from toll in order that h
may have so much more time to devot
to the shutting of cards or The shakin,
of dice at the corner grocery.
1t Is common mistake made tina
release from the necessity of labor en-
sures happiness. Employment is tn
law of all really intelligent certainl
all really progressive, nations and in
dividuals. Others may exist, but the
do not live in the true sense of the word
We must work with the mind if nc
with the hands. The invisible wheel
and springs of the brain must be ker
moving. Thought will be evolved, an
in its proper direction is the correct Gu
to happiness. Let the laborer get hi
release from the hitherto extra hour G
two of enforced toll, and then devot
it sensibly to better purposes tina
dissipation, or idleness, which leads t
dissipation if not to vagabondage an
crime.

General Changarnier, the Prospective
Ruler of France.

Among the lively veterans whom the
latest French revolution has brought
upper-most, after years of enforced or
voluntary exile, is General Changarnier.
This distinguished man is now acting as
chief of the Right Centre, or Orleanist
section of the Assembly, and is not I'M
likely, should NJ. Theirs finally carry
out his repeated threats of resignation,
to be placed at the head of the Govern
ment. The general is four or five years
older than the president, having passed
/ his eightieth anniversary, yet displays
a vigor in action and nerve in speech
not inferior to that of Theirs himself.
/ Changarnier, after a successful career
in the African campaign in the reign of
Louis Philippe, suddenly became q
prominent figure when the Revolution
of 1913 superseded the Orleans regime.
He was active in aiding to suppress
the June instruction, and, when Bona
parte became president, was made COM
mandant of the military forces in Paris.
But the sturdy independence of his
character made Bonaparte doubtful OF
his cooperation when the coup d'etat
was planned, and the suggestion of his
name as a candidate for the presidential
succession added to this feeling of dis
trust; in consequence, Bonaparte re-
moved him from his command. Chan
GARNER, like Theirs, was one of those
who were arrested on the morning OF
coup d'etat, imprisoned, and finally ban
ished; and, like Theirs, he never for
gave the indignity. He disappeared

mand of a division, and shared Bazaine'
misfortunes at Metz. Elected mem
Der of the Assembly, he has taken {
very active part in its proceeding
, throughout, showing himself to be az
able debater as he was valiant on the
. field. He is conservative of the Or
leanist type, and has made himself
especially conspicuous for his violent
attacks upon Gambetta. General Chan
GARNER has been compared, in personal
appearance, to Major Pendennis; he is
the sleekest and most fnical of antigua
ted dandies, attires himself in the latest
fashions, always seems to have the in
slant before issued from the hands 81

jaunty, springy step of fashionable
man in the vigor of his prime.
His brown wig is all too brown; this
} is the only article in which he displays
want of taste but his gray eye is
bright and stern, his mouth firmly set
and his whole expression one of bellig
erent determination. His party zeal is as
notable as was his dash and spirit OF
Algerian plains forty years ago; more
: than once he has assailed M. Thiers
with courage and eloquence which has

ever, rests not so much upon his orator

as upon his probity and incorruptibility

Were he to become president or dicta

The Philosophy of Frying Meats.

Of all methods of cooking none is so
common, so convenient and so economi-
cal, as frying. And yet very few people
understand the philosophy of good fry,
or there would certainly be less COM
plant of its unhealthfulness, and less
indigestion from its consumption.
Perfect frying is perfect cooking, and
is in reality very easily done. 1t is only
necessary that the fat should be boiling
bubbling hot. Then the article dropped
into it is at once covered with thin
crust, crisp, brown and appetizing, and
the interior of the meat retains its juices
and is quite free from all suspicious of
fat.
But the frying-pan, it is self-evident,
cannot be shallow one, for it must
have depth of boiling fat sufficient to
coUer the steak or outlet, &C., for if this
is not donce at once, the part remaining
cold cools the adjoining fat and then
absorbs it, so that the whole benefit of
the boiling fat is neutralized.
If steak is at once covered with q
brown crisp crust it will cook as readily
as water would. The meat then is neither
greasey in appearance nor reality, so
that keeping this point in view there is
no reason why this convenient method
of cooking should not be as delicate and
as healthy as either broiling, baking or
boiling.

About Bears.

The provisions of nature are strange.
Climate forces upon animals different
habits. Towards the end of Deem
Der the female white bear places her.
self in position where the snow will
drift over her. Lying still upon rock,
the snow falls thickly upon her, and a
cell is formed for winter habitation.
In this cell the animal resides during
the period of accouchement. The cubs
are produced, and the mother remains
secluded with them until the month of
March. The young are very small at
first, but as they grow the heat of the
bodies melt the snow and thus enlarges
the cell. The warm breath ascends up
ward, and makes an aperture for the
admission of pure air. Before hiber-
mating, the bear eats enormously of nu-
tritious food, and becomes very fat, on
which fat she exists during her winter
retirement. The phenomenon is all the
more singular, as the female bear is COM
PEELED to give sustenence to her young
as well as to live herself, and the sur
plus fat in her own body her only store
of food. Pertinent to this, DR.. Wood
remarks:
cit is worthy of notice that in the
bears of the Old as well as the New
World, is found the curious phenome-
non of the tappen,' hard concerted
substance, which plugs up the intestines
and seems to be of service in retaining
the animal condition. In Scandinavia,
where the bears of both sexes retire to
winter quarters, and remain in theil
hidden recesses for five full months, the
tappen is very seldom cast until the
bear leaves its den. In the rare instan.
ces where such an event has happened
the bear is said to have becom misera
bly, thin and weak"
The snow packs closely, and makes {
warm bed. The caloric exhaled from
the body is not swept away by the wind
but it is conserved around the animal
and sensation is preserved.

A well-known miner in California
recently visited his mine and stepped
into the bucket and was let down. Dur
ing the descent the rope broke and let
the bucket loose. Its occupant seized
the upper end of the rope and held on
for some time. His assistant kept on
lowering until he thought his employer
had reached the bottom of the shaft---it
being $50 feet deer---and then stopped.
Meanwhile the victim chung to the rope
and shouted wildly for help but none
was near At length, when exhausted,
he INDUCED in a silent prayer, in the
expectation of being dashed to pieces by
the fall to take place, and, closing his
eyes, let go and fell---about eighteen
inches. When found he was in q state
of unconsciousness.

Cider and Pickles for Fever,

Some two months ago, resident of
Detroit named Broef, was taken i'll
with some sort of fever, and for two
weeks there was little hope of saving his
life. He continued to sink, in spite of
all the physicians could do, and they
finally gave him up. All through his
sickness the man had continually asked
for pickles and cider, and when he had
got SO low that his death was considered
only question of a few hours, Mrs.
Broef decided to crafty his wishes. A
glass of sweet cider was given him, and
he declared himself much better for it.
More was given through the night, in
place of medicine, and the next morning
the doctor declared that a most favor
able change had taken place. Some
strong pickles were procured and given
him, and he began to call for Cruel and
broth. To be brief, he is now able to
move around the house, and everybody
in the neighborhood, as well as the ply
stefan, gives the cider and pickles the
credit of performing the cure.

The Richest Man In the World.

This enviable person is probably the
Khedive of Egypt. His yearly income
is $50, 900, 900, and he has twenty-five
richly furnished palaces within the
walls of Cairo. He is vastly more pro-
gressive than the Sultan, his Turkish
master; is rapidly extending his do
minions, building railroads, and making
commercial improvements, and will ul-
timately become independent of Turk
ish domination. He is at present max
ing arrangements for the connection of
a railroad up the Nile to Dongola, and
thence across the desert to Loudan,
which country he will make one of his
own provinces. 1t has been remarked
of him that as Viceroy upon any throne
in Europe, he would be the greatest mon
arch of the age. He is not only prince
but merchant, a capitalist, a states
man and cultivator. He sleeps only
four hours out of twenty-four, and at
his desk center his railroads, steamship
lines, telegraphs, postal service, private
estates, sugar mills, cotton culture,
army, navy and civil service.

The Cheyenne Leader comes to us
with vigorous protest against what it
calls the rape of Wyoming, or the pro-
posed annexion of portion of Wyo-
ming Territory to Colorado, in order to
give the latter sufficient population to
be decently admitted into the Union as
State. The Leader affirms that Wyo-
ming possesses the natural advantages
to become itself State at no far-distant
day, unless dismembered to accommo-
date the ambitious designs of Colorado.
The latter territory, it says, has only
$4,000 inhabitants, and with the addi-
ton of Wyoming would have only 65,-
900, or only one-half the number re-
quired for Congressional District.
The consequences likely to follow the
proposed annexation, if we may believe
the Leader, are truly terrible, and they
include the crushing out of human
energy, stopping the march of civiliza-
ton, undoing all that has been done
and blasting the bright prospects of all
that might be done in the fair territory
Of Wyoming.

Editorial notices are SO common that
it is almost impossible for an editor to
express his honest opinion of the merits
of any article without being suspected
of interested motives. This fact, how
ever, shall not deter us from saying
what we think of new addition to the
Materia Medica to which our attention
has been recently directed. We refer
to DR.. j. Walkers California Vinegar
Bitters, a remedy which is making it's
way into more families just now than
all the other advertised medicines put
together. Its popularity, as far as we
can judge, is not based on empty pre-
tension. There seems to be no question
about the potency of it's tonic and al
terative properties, while it possesses
the great negative recommendation of
containing neither alcohol nor mineral
poison. That it is specific for Indi-
gestion, Biliousness, Constipation, and
many complaints of nervous origin, we
have reason to know; and we are as
sured on good authority that as a gen
eral invigorant, regulating and purifying
medicine it has no equal. 1t is stated
that its ingredients obtained from the
wilds of California; are new to the
medical world; and it's extraordinary eff
fects certainly warrant the conclusion
that it is compound of agents hitherto
unknown. If popularity is any criterion,
there can be no doubt of the efficiency
of the Vinegar Bitters, for the sale of
the article is immense and continually
increasing. Com.

The latest pets which the Partisan.
ladies affect are monkeys. These
charming little animals are to take the
place of the inevitable poodle, and are
said to take kindlWto the attention and
affection lavished upon them. They
are adorned by dainty silver collars but
on their walks are left unclaimed, as
each respectable monkey is attended
by two footmen, who guide his hayward
steps and keep him within the bounds
of the civilization of which he may one
day form a part. We do not know
whether Mr.. Darwin, or freak OF
fashion is to be thanked for this trans
fer of affections.

Evil Speaking,

Speaking evil of others is one of the
most unamiable habits that can be ac-
quired, and one that leads to infinite
mischief; it is not always easy to avoid
it, for there are great many persons In
the world who are not what they ought
to be, and who do many things they
ought not to do. 1t is hard for blunt,
generous mind to refrain from express
ing itself about mean people and mean
acts; there is something in meanness
and dishonesty that rouses the indigna-
ton of such mind, and it likes the
luxury of denounclng them in bold, I'M
sparing language. But the practice, as
practice, is troublesome and danger
GUS one.
There are occasions when it is our
duty to speak out in exposure of wrong
bat in general, it is best to abstain from
evil speaking, even of evilpersons. We
are not made judges of others actions
no one has the right to assume the char
acter of arbiter and censor. Even the
best of us have our faults, and if every
one should presume to denounce the
vices ard misconduct of others, the
world would be given up to defamation.
We may see and hear much that we
do not admire and cannot like; we may
become cognizant of many evil deeds
done by evil persons but it is the part
of wisdom and discretion to pass them
by without notice, except when to speak
of them cautiously may be necessary as
a warning to friend.
We all have enough enemies in this
world, without provoking others by i'll
tempered comments. The enmity of
evil men is thing to be avoided, for
while it can do us no good, it may do
us much harm. Besides we may make
mistakes in the haste of honest indigna-
ton, and speak evil of good men for
acts we do not understand. Such a
mistake is worse than the other; for
while it is imprudent to promiscuously
denounce evil men, it is cruel wrong to
defame good one.
