account of the manners and customs OF
the resident foreigners. Written with
much naiyete, it was evidently intended

OF European boys education, in order

tant Landslide may not suffer from sea

states that the foreigners, although good
men Of business and excellent horsemen,
entirely neglect that philosophical and
literary culture so much esteemed by his
own countrymen. He is kind enough
to add that they are as clean in their
persons as the Japanese, and gives
minute description OF their dwellings
and domestic life. Jealousy, be says,
is an unknown passion among them, and
so much affection spbsists between man
and wife that it is quite a common oc.

TuE subject of the number. of hours
which men can work continuously to the
best advantage Of themselves and their
employers, is still agitatedi although the
fact is now generally recognized that
there is a limit beyond which it does not
pau to continue work. Mr.. Brassey, the
author of Work and Wages" believes
that for nearly all classes of-workers
eight hours per day is the economic
limit, but does not think that it should
be made an arbitrary limit, either as to
occupations or men. The Senate OF
Massachusetts has recently passed to
third reading bill prohibiting the en-
ployment for more than sixty hours in
any week Of women or children under
eighteen years Of age. This is prach-
eally the ten hour law, as to the classes
mentioned, which has been before the

wears. Fortunately for the working peo-
nile. the necessity for such laws is beeom-

DAVID FREDERICK STRAUSS, THE
FHEOL0GIAN.

A cable telegram from Derhpi No'Su
in the German capital the 9th instant,
reports as follows: I" David Friederich
Strauss. the eminent German theolo-
sian. ise Dead" David Frederick
Strauss was, as theologian, one OF the
most remarkable men of the age, has
great work, the " Life of Christ, having
excited a eommotion in the Christian
world little inferior IN its intensity to
that which has been since produced by
the promulgation Of the dogma of papal
infallibility. He was born at Ludw'gs-
burg, in Wurtemburg, in the year 1903,
and was, consequently, in the sixty sixth
wear of his age at his death. He COM
ple,ed his collegiate studies at Tubingen,
AND was ordained to the service OF the
church n 1880. IN 1881 he became pro-
lessor in the Seminary Of Hebron,
but Quilted the institution shortly after
wards in order to finish his theological
studies at Berlin. Here he read
the Hegelian philosophy, and re-
turned to Tubingen, where he became
tutor in theological academy. Strauss
remained almost entirely unknown to
fame until he published, in 1885, his Life
of Jusus. In this the writer attempted
to resolve the Savior the man God, into
an almost mythical parsonage. Hence
bis book produced most profound SEN
satiou. The Professor recognized IN
Jesus merely reformer and teacher,
around whose history clustered num-
Der Of beautiful myths. The dogmas OF
Christ he received. but the divinity OF
His mission he denied. These views
were, at the period of their enunciation
by him, new and startling, and shocked
fhe piety of the whole Christian world.
Many books we're written in reply TO
The work which good men did not
hesitate to term mass of blasphemy;
and for a while Strauss was the object
of universal indignation. 1t was.
even proposed to suppress his publiea-
tions in Berlin. Yet four years later ne
was, after much opposition, appointed
professor of dogmatics and church
history of the university of Zurich.
Since that date he has published vari-
ETY. of theological and historical works,
all marked by learning and ability, but
none exciting the opposition or attract
ing the attention to which his @Des
Leben Jesu gave rise. During the
time Of the revolution of l948 he was an
unsuccessful candidate for the German
National Assembly. He was returned,
However, by the voters of his native
town as member of the Wurtenburg
Diet, where, to the astonishment OF
everybody, he took his place as con-
seryative. His constituents were so dis
pleased with this action that they called
ON him to resign, and compelled him to
do so. In addition to his theological
works. Strauss has written Life of
schubert - ls49; aChristain Maerklin,'
1851; and " Life and Writing of the Poet
and Philologist, Nichodemus Fischlin."
