People in the Savage and Civilized
Stutp

What, IN few words Is the difference
between the savage state and the civil
lied state2 In the savage state, people
have very little to do with one another,
and are very like one another; in the
civilized state, people have very much
10 do with one another, and are very
much unlike one another. In the one
case there is independence without in
dlyiduahty; in the other case there is
dependence with individuality. This is
quite contrary to the common demo
cratic prejudice that Rousseau import
ed into the world which is widely diff
fused III America It differs from the
opening statement in Mr.. Mills Essay
on Liberty. But | think 1t will he found
true, | suppose Shakespeare was Il

for Il moment to think of Shakespeare
quite apart from the whole history of
England and of Europe before him.
You might Just rs well think of the

fact Is that the whole science of socio-
logy Ivy far the greatest and most mo-

science in our century, consists i'm the
study of this couscu>u>-how it has

An Odd Little Story of Napoleon Ill.

1t was Il good many years ago, and all
Paris was raving about the exquisite
beauty and wonderful voice of young
girl who had just left the Conservatory
to become not long after and continue
till this day one of the brightest orna-
ments of the lyric stage. She was hon
ored with an Imperial command to sing
at the Elysees, where she fascinated the
Emperor. who, sending for her, favored
her with an audience in the presence Of
the brilliant assembly, praised her sing
ing and asked her in what way he could
be of assistance to her. The girls only
thought was that this intorview W, which
so distinguished her, was so soon to
come to an end, and stammeringly and
with downcast eyes she said: Sire, there
is one thing you could do for me, but
to ask it of you would be too presump-
tuOus." The Emperor encouraged her
Come. what can do to serve you" he
repeated. ''Sire," said she, talk to me
some more" The Emperor never was
a brilliant conversationalist, and on this
occasion had been rather less elegant
and witty than usual Not understand
ing that she was in earnest, he took 1t
into his head that the brilliant young
prima donna was quiMing him, and
thereafter she was always in his bad
books.

PROF. HALL not content with the
glory of his discovery of the moons of
Mars, has lately announced a determi-
nation of the period of rotation of Sat
urn, which is believed to be more accu-
rate than any heretofore indicated. On
the night of September Z he observed
Il bright spot on the ball of Saturn, two
or three minutes in diameter, round
and well defined, and of a brilliant white
color As the result Of his own obser-
vations and those of others instituted ut
his request, he concludes, assuming that
the spot has no proper motion on the
surface of the planet, that the time OF
the rotation of Saturn is l0h. II m. and
23.S 5. mean time The period OF ro-
tation of the ring of Saturn Is l0h -

Important Milk Discovery.

President Bolcker, with view to ar
RYE at certain results, has analyzed the
milk OF healthy COW Mt different
periods of the day. The professor found
that the solids of the evenings milk
as per cent exceeded those of the
mornings milk 90 per cent J; while the
water contained in the fluid was dimin-
ishcd from 50 per cont. to IS per cent.
The fatty matter gradually increases a.
the day progresses. In the morning it
amounts To II per cent, ut noon to 3!
per cent. and in the evening to 81 per
cent. The practical importance of this
discovery is ut once apparent; ii dcvcl-
ops the fact that, while Is ounces of
mornings milk will yield but hall an
ounce of butter, about double the guam
tjty can be obtained from the evening :
milk from u to2i per cent, but the MI
humon Is diminished from O.4lper cent.
To 0.&l per cent Sugar Is least abund-
amt at midnight al per cent. The per-
centage of the salt uudcrgoes scarcely
any change ut any time of the day.

THE Walls Walla Statesman makes .
very strong point when it favors a
plank in the State Constitution to dis
franchise any and every person con-
victed Of any grade Of larceny. It says
truthfully that 'thief has no moral
right to vote Certainly. the man
who defies the law should have no voice
nor vote in elscting those who make or
administer the laws of the land. A con-
vie,ion for larceny should put it beyond
the Executive clemeney to restore to
eli the pre-og.tives of citizenship, the
convict who has feloniously appropri-
ated his neighbor's property. The sug-
gestion is unquestiOnably good one
and we hope that the fundamental law
OF our future State will 50 ordain. Pun
ishments which are Of preventive ma
ture are more cnob!ing to a great State
than those of vindictiye character.
And if such Q provision in the Consti-
tuition serves IS ian ounce Of proven
tiop," there can be no doubt but it will
bs better than "a pound Of cure"

SOILED FAMILY LINEN.

When poor man dies. he is generally

But let rich man die and then comes
. fierce squabble for his possessions be-
fore the grass begins to grow upon his
grave. The Vanderbilt feud, gotten
