"a Scientific Frontier. ;,

This scientific frontier doctrine has
been the cause of many wars, and the
trouble is that. one scientific ratification
always seems to render a subsequent
one necessary. At Dresden Napoleon /.
insisted that the possession of the Hanse
towns was needed In order to give q sci
entIhc frontier to the French Empire,
because 1t already included Holland, and
being defeated by those who took an
opposite view, lost his throne. Napcle,
on III. bankered after the Rhine as a
scientific frontier, and frequently proved
that by every rule of international sci
ence Belgium ought to belong to him
Germany after the French war, came to
tne conclusion that AIsacs ought to form
her scientific frontier, but her military
men opined that the possession of AIsace
involved necessarily that of Lorraine; so
A!sace and a considerable portion of
Lorraine were added to the German EN-
pre-, but 1t is not felt that the En-
pre- can now be scientifically rounded
IN except by the acquisition of Holland.
Russia managed to get hold of Finland
and Poland, not, of course, because she
was am bilious of territory, but because
OF the military exigencies of her frontier.
Austria never loses, for the same cause,
an occasion to lay her hands upon all
she can on the eastern shores of the
Adriatic. Italy has managed to get hold
of all south of the Alps, but she is not
satisfied, for her frontier is not safe IN
less she can somehow acquire the south
ern valleys of the TyrOl and Trieste.
Poor little Denmark fancied that she
ought to have fhe Duchies of Schleswig
and HOlstein; but she was speedily un-
deceived, for Prussia was under the
painful necessity of taking these Duchiss
from her in order to form a defensibIe
frontier for Germany. In the United
States they call the scientific frontier
doctrine manifest destiny" Califor-
MIA and Texas were taken from Mexico
by the disciples OF manifest destiny, and
many expeditions have been organized
for the same cause against Cuba. There
are, indeed, Americans who would push
this doctrine so far as to claim Canada.
As for the South American States, they
are seldom long at peace with each other,
for they are perpetually engaged in rival
endeavOrs to obtain scientific frontiers at
the expense of their neiphbOrs,

and gave the string an impulsiYe Jerk

out OF BID with smOthered cry OF pain.
Then she stopped down to detach the
cord just as the ridiculous beast gave
another violent jerk, and she lost her
equilibrium-and her toe, too, almost,
the cord cutting into the tender flesh.
She sprang to the window and called in
a hOarse whisper, Stop pulling, Charles;
I'll be down in minute" Then she
made another effort to unite the cord.

The Christian Era.

1t has been the custom of all ancient
nations to reckon their time from some
great event in their history, and this
hes given rise to the various periods
and eras OF chronology adopted by diff.
feTent nations in different ages Of the
world. In view of the transcendent
Importance of the birth of Christ, the
time of that event was chosen as the
beginning of a new era in chronology
from which to date events and reckon
time. This is the Christian era, now
observed in nearly all parts of the civ
ilized world.
Il was first introduced by Dionysius
Z xiguus, Scythian abbot in Rome, in
the sixth century, and it gradually
superseded the era of Diocletian, which
WAS then used. It did not, however,
come into general use until the eighth
or ninth century. Its beginning was
hxed on the first day of January, in the
An year OF the 194th Olympiad, and in
the 753d year from the founding OF
K)me Exiguus computed this to be
the correct time of our Savior's birth,
but different views have been entertained
by chrOhOlOgists respecting the proper
day and year, It is now generally con
coded that Exiguus fixed the date four
years too late; but as its use as a chro-
biological epoch cannot be changed
without changing the historic dates of ali
civilized nations of the earth for over
thirteen hundred years, it will doubtless
continue to be observed as the beginning
OF the Christian era to the end of the
world
If the conclusions of some Of the latest
chronoiogists are correct, the precise year
OF our SaVior's birth was four years be-
fore Christ a r. g. instead of A. D. l ~,
as now, fixed in our general System Of
chronology. tits a most significant aud
suggestive fact that the time of every
phenomenon of nature and every event
or act OF nations and of men on earth. is
fixed and recorded in history-Anno
Domini-by the year that commentaries

Thus old Bodkin continued the same

when the party rose from the table at 10
O'Clock, Bodkin had the Gobins family

sage brush, with their horses stolen and
