How Train took a Vote.

George Francis Train talks at the
rate of $50 words u minute and occs-
sionally pauses for breath. These
pauses seem to annoy him, and it il
his habit to fill them by putting the
question before the house and calling
for the yeas aud nays. His auditors
always like to make noise, and an
affirmative response follows as mat
tor of course, and then the lectureI,
having regaiued his breath, proceeds
with his remarks. An audience at
Rochester, on June 6, was betrayed
by these tactics into very unfortun-
ate expression of opinion. He had been
complaining that Christianity consign-
ed to perdit;on such persons as Shak-
espeare. Byron, Franklin, and Wash
ington, who were not within the pale
of church membership, IF l ever
know hereafter" he exclaimed, II

and I want to be able TO grasp their
hands, even if have to go to hell to
do it," And. by the way" he added
gasping for breath and apprchending
the approach Of a pause, all those in
favor of going to hell with me say aye"

Every boy and girl should learn tt
swim. A writer in. the america,
.Agricalurist offers the following sug'
gestion by obedience to which the ar
of swimming may be readily required
When / was q boy l learned to swim
by means Of a. swimming. board, This
is the safest method possible: If corkt
are used they may slip from around
the breast down beneath the body
throwing the head below the surface
and putting the wearer in danger o.
drowning.
Some country boys get two bladders
and then tie. together with, short
cord, anduse these as supports. They
are the most dangerous things possible
for boy to.have.
The board is perfectly safe, and one
may learn to swim in very short time
by using one. 1t should be over -four
feet loug, over foot wide and two in
ches thick, white pine or cedar.
To use it, a boy wades into the wat
ter up to his shoulders, then taking
hold of the end Of the board he push
es it before him-towards the bank,
and not into deeper water-springs
forward with his feet, and throws
himself flat upon the water.
The movement carries him along a
few feet. He then draws up both his
legs at time, keeping the knees as far
apart as as possible, and then strikes
out with both feet, not straight back.
ward, but sideways, just as a frog does.
The stroke is made slowly andis re.
peated again, drawing up the legs
slowly and steadily. The board keeps
the head above water. When the leg
stroke has been learned, one hand is
taken from the board, and the stroke
learned, or the chin may be rested on
tho board, while the stroke is taken
with both hands.
This is very good plan, as it CON-.
pels the swimmer to keep his hands
under the water, which he should al
ways do. BY and by the board may be
pushed ahead, and the young swimmer
may swim after it, and always keeping
it within reach. When a number of
boys 60 to swim, they should always
have two or three of these boards with
them for use in case of any accident.

The clergyman at church near one

used to have strangers within his gates

The Berlin congress will figure as
one of the most important conclaves in
history. Its greatest work is the avert.
ing ola war between Great Britain and
Russia, which at one time was so i'm
minent as to appear unavoidable, and
so menacins to ancient relations as to
alarm all Europe. The two hostile
powers stood face to face, with swords
drawn and whetted for what each felt
must be a desperate struggle. If a
blow had been struck. all Europe with
parts of Asia and Africa, would have
been involved England, supported by
France, Austria, Italy Turkey and
and Egypt, on one side, and Russia,
supported probably by Germany, on
the other. The powers had toreseen
and been preparing for this very strug
gle for half century. and the arma-
maments with which they would have
entered it are the most enormous ever
seen in Europe. That the congress
has aver.ed this imminent danger and
given peace to Europe is, itself, an
achievement of no small magnitude.
The war has not been permanently
averted, it is true. 1t has only been
postponed. When the remnant of the
Turkish empire shall fall into ruins
the same menaoinc question of divis-
on of the territority will come up a.
gain, and it may be beyond the power
of new congress to settle it. But the
Eastern question seems quieted for
twenty-five years, and for this the
Berlin congress is entitled to the thanks
OF Europe.
There is reason for believing that the
Berlin congress was successful because
Russia and Germany are threatened
with trouble which does not permit
them to 60 to war. The great powers
consented not to fight one another at
present out of Difference to a common
enemy which several of them will be
compelled to fight at no distant day.
1t is in Russia and Germany that the
revolutionary spirit called Socialism is
making most alarming Roadway. and it
was these powers that yielded most in
the Congress and showed the most anx.
ious desire for peace. Had there been
no Nihilism in Russia and no Social
ism in Germany, the British demands
would not have been so meekly sub
mitted to, and the treaty which the
has made would have been
The Russian and German
Governments appear to recognize that
they will be called on at no distant
day to put down an intestine revolution

The Methods Of Socialism.

Socialism as movement does not
move by discussion. Its programme
is violence. Its tone is; No argu-
ment: let us have our way, or be-
ware. Modern violence consists
largely in voting, and when this
kind is available, and sufficient, the
social democracy asks no more. II
1t is not available, the proposition is
plain and loud to use weapons and
the torch. II, however, voting is not
to be controlled, in the long run, by
intelligence, reason, argument, and
discussion, then the civilized world
has been building for century upon
faith in certain doctrins which are
about to give way and to expose So
cicty to terrible CONFUSION. All
our inherited institutions of civil lib
erty face toward the executive, rs if
from that organ alone danger could
come. The power has now been
transferred to popular majorities, UNI
der the assumption that they would
never abuse it to enrich themselves
at the expense of producers, as man
archs and aristoeracies have done.
The rev task is to devise institutions
which shall protect civil liberty
against popular majorities, since it
appears that this assumption is not
without question. That task lies
next before us in the development Of
the ar. of government, and it appears
that the great civilized nations will
have to execute it before the end of
this century, if they do not intend to
give up all that hass been won in
five thousand years Of history
