live with their golden brain and let it go

Working Men and War.
.Om the Eorfniphflv Review

the causes Of war changes from age to age
In earlier times nearly every great war had it's
origin in religious differences. That cause has
now almost wholly passed away. But many of
our modern conflicts have been inspired by
much meaner and less worthy motives the
great wars of the last hundred years NAV
nearly all be ranged under two or three heads
They have been dynastic they have been pro-
NOTED to serve the ambition of s"vereigns and
privileged orders; or, worse still. they have
commercial spectators Dynastic. like re-
lgiOus, wars will speedily disappear; arstoc-
racies and Oligarchies will be less potent in the
future; and MammOm.
''The least erected spirit that fell from Heaven"
wide as his empire u.s. and many as are his devo-
tees, does not yet, and | trust never will.
reckon among his wOrshipers the working men
of Britain. Whatever their faults and faings-
and they have both in abundance-the democ-
racy are never likely to be unduly Influenced by
mercenary considerations. They may fight for
an idea but they will not fight for territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or commercial advantages
These causes of war, therefore, are likely to al
together cease to operate with constantly di.
minishing power in the future. How few of the
popular wars within the period mentioned have
met with the approval Of posterity! John Stuart
Mill long ago remarked that the time had
come when the democracy Of one country would
join bands with the democracy of another rather
than back their own ruling authorities in put
ting it down." A war like the invasion OF
France to suppress the first French republic
would be now an impOssibility. The democracy
would take their stand by the side of Fox and
Grey rather than by the side OF Pitt and Burke
That perhaps is not saying much for democracy,
since the very generation that commenced the
war. and with whom it was popular, saw on re-
Election that they had committed blunder and
q crime.

doesn't remember until he gets on board the

FORMS him that he must be mistaken. There is
scarcely ticket agent on the elevated roads

During commission hours particularly, when
people are in a hurry, they often leave their

the trouble to call them back: he just rakes it

King and Poet.

Durins this period, Homer wandered about thu
country composing verses by day to recite to the shep
herds and Lusbandmen by night in return for food AnS
shelter. MS. attributed to Herodo:us.

Grating great victory is ali that relnans to ates

OF people We do not even know his maine. Dent0nt
Notes oa the Cuneif0ym Inscriptions.
The people bowed before his throne;
No eye dared look upon his face;
His splendid cohorts round him shone
And satraps OF royal race.
His heart beat high: he babe them raise

Whereby his name and power and praise
To future ages should be known.
That self-same hour a poet lay
missing beside forest stream:
Before his door at close OF day
He told the shepherd fol his dream.
The stone Is dust; the monarch's name
BY men has been forgotten long;
But the unconscious poets fame
Is fresh as his immortal song.

Stopping Steam Engines by Electricity.
From the st. James Gazette
Among the various uses to which electricity
may be put there is one of very simple and
practical nature, which promises to effect a
great saving Of property and life if brought into
general operation. The inventor Of this new
contrivance Is Mr.. Tate. But, to speak cor
rectly. it Is rather an application Of existing
electric power than new discovery. Simply.
the continuance is an arrangement for the inn
mediate stOppage OF a steam engine, by merely
pressing a button similar to those by which
electric bells or fire alarms are sounded. This
button may be placed at any distance from the
engine upon which it acts; and Mr.. Tate pro-
poses that a number of such buttons should be
dispersed throughout the factory or elsewhere
where the apparatus is in use In factories ac-
cidents occur almost daily through the impos-
sbility Of stopping machinery on the instant
Such accidents will, it seems. be readily avoided
by this method Of instantaneously stopping the
engine from any part of the building in which it
works. Tie principle Of the contrivance de-
ponds on the action OF an electro magnet npon
the stop-valve of the engine.
