Duration of Eternity.
Chicago Ledger

Various illustrations have been sug-
gested to convey to the mind some idea
of illimitable duration. II has been
said, suppose that one drop OF ocean
should be dried up every Thousand years,
how long would it be ere the last drop
would disappear and the ocean bed pe
left dry and rusty? Far onward as lhat
would be IN the coming ages, eterlilV
would hut have commenced. IL HaS
been said, suppose this vast globe upon
which we tread were composed oi pa'u-
cles of the finest sand, and thai one
particle should disappear at the terlHl'
nation of each million OF years, on,

the period which must elapse peiore

Activity is not Always Energy.

There are some men whose failure to
succeed in life is problem to others, as
well as to themselves. They are indus
trious, prudent and economical; yet
after long life of striving, old age finds
them still poor. They complain of i'll
luck. They say fate is alway against
them. But the fact is that they mis-
carry because they have mistaken mere
activity for energy. Coafounding two
things essentially different, they have
supposed that if they were always busy,
they would be certain to be advancing
their fortunes. They have forgotten
that misdirected efforts is but waste of
activity. The person who would sue
ceed In life is like marksman firing at
a target; if his shots miss the mark,
they are waste of powder. So in the
great game of life; what a man does
must be made to count, or it might al
most have been. left undone. Every
body knows some one in his circle of
friends, who, though always alert, has
this want of energy. The distemper, if
we may call it such, exhibits itself in
various ways. In some cases the man
has merely an executive faculty, when
he should have directive one; in other
language, he makes capital clerk, for
himself, when he ought to do the think
ing of the business. In other cases
what is done is not done either at the
right time or in the right way. En-
ergy, correctly understood, is activity
prOportioned to the end.

pers have already increased their price
from 20 te 80 cents per week, and weekly
papers from 81 so g SO per year.
The advance in paper can be stopped
IF the people VIII save and sell their old
paper and rags. Three months saving
of rags and old paper by the entire pop
ulation, and selling them in the markets,
would check the advance in paper. Rags
are worth from to 81 cents per pound.
Every newspaper in the land should
appeal to the people in this matter. And
they should also economize in the con
sumption as much as possible.

SOME interesting experiments of
ploughing by electricity took place the
other day at Noisiel, in France, in the
park of the well-knOwn Deputy and
chocolate maker, NJ. Menier. The mo-
tive power was supplied to the plough by
a Gramme machine, itself set in motion
by water power, which is abundant on
M. Menier's estate, The plough did
about the same work as if it were drawn
by four oxen. 1t was Fowler plough,
with six shares. The motive power was
supplied by wire at distance of nearly
half a mi e. To profane looker-on it
was amazing to see a ploug1 propelled by
an unseen agency withoUS teams or
steam. The Gramme machine employed
was the same that supplied NJ. Menier's
mandatory with electric light.

critics concerning the stability of the
carbom horseshoe, and the claim that it
gradually wastes awav by decomposition
he said: "a complete answer to that
is the actual result. / can state that the
oldest lamp in my laboratory, after
burning sos hours, had its electrical re-
sistance measured, and there was not a
difference of one-tenth of hair from
the time when it was originally put in

burned sos hours is as bright to-day as
it was the day when first put in, where
as oxidization makes carbon blank"
Edison says he has not sold share of
his stock.

Every intelligent person should know
how to ascertain the state of the pulse
in health; then, by comparing it with
what it in when he is ailing, he may
have some ides, of the urgency of his
case.
Parents should know the health pulse
of each child--as now and then a per-
son is born with a peculiarly slow or
fast pulse, and the very case in hand
may be of that peculiarity. An infants
pulse is 40: child of z, about 80; and
from 20 to so years, is 20 beats minute,
declining to be- at four-score. A health
full grown persons pulse beats 20 times
a minute; there may be good health
down to go; but if the pulse always ex-
ceeds seventy, there is disease; the
machine is working itself out, there is q
fever of Inflammation somewhere, and
the body is feeding on itself; as in con-
sumption, when the pulse is quick, that
is over 20, gradually increasing, with
decreased chances of cure, until it
reaches 110 To 120, when death comes
before many days. When the pulse is
over 20 for mOnths, and there il slight
cough, the lungs are affected. There
are, however, peculiar constitutions In
which the pulse may be over 70 In
health.
STILL another cheap lace appears as
a rival for Breton, and it calls itself
Languedoc, b name which will be q

which they called Brettoong. The
Languedoc has its large figures darned
in with cord and shaded with fine
thread, and is made on imitation Valen-
ciennes and thread grounds in dead
white and several shades of cream.

Is Corpso Roal Estate or a Trust 2

A singular case is now before tho circuit
court At Chicago, in which the rights and reg
ulations of catholic cemeteries arc involved
in an unusual, though, We believe, not wholly
unprecedented way. A Bohemian tailor
named Kovarik lost n child last year and had
it buried in the catholic cemetery of st. Boni.
mcius. He was then catholic, but has since
become freethinker He had bought u lot
in tho Bohemian National cemetery, which is
under frecthinking control, aud having lost a
second child, was anxious that both children
should bo buried together. Having OBJ
taiucd permit from the health department,
lie sought to havo the first child disin.
TERED, but the officials of st. Bonitacius
refused permission, and are backed up by
the clergy. They would allow the corpse to
bc transferred to another catholic ground,
but not to unconsecrated soil. Two cases arc
said to have occurred in this country, one in
Rhode Island and one in New York, similar
to tho present one, and in both tho clergy
have been beaten. The English theory is on
their side being TO the effect that q corpse
becomes part of the soil, aud hence is the
property of the owners of tho cemetery while
American law regards tho cemetery corpora.
tion as only trustees for tho time being of tho
bodies buried in their ground. The Chicago
Times says that there is skcptical organiza.
tion among the Bohemians, largely made up
of fcX-catholiCs and that If kOyarik succeeds,
more than hundred corpscs will be trans.
fcrrcd to tho National cemetery. Tho clergy
will, however, contest tho case to the last.
