THE MODERN AGE.

The Modern Age is enlarged tc
siXty-four pages with the March
issue. The number is a brilliant
one, and is worthy of the reputation
the magazine is creating for itself.
Alphonse Daudet, Herbert Spencer
the author Of "JOhn Halifax, Gen.
tleman," Justin Mccarthy, Ivan
Tourgenieff, VIM. Beatty Kingston,
and a number Of other less noted
names, guarantee an intellectual
feast, such as is rarely found in one
number Of a magazine. Daudets
"KRdour and Kate" and Justin Nc
Carthy's stage Love" are excellent
bits of fiction, while can Interest
ing Woman" and a thrilling INSTALL
ment of "Eliezer and Nephtaly, /"
complete the lighter part of the
book. The "Nymphs," prose
poem by Tourgenieff, is a beautiful
thing, and will bear reading and re-
reading. Mr.. Spencer's article,
"Ghe Americans" contains some
observations which it behoeves
Every citizen of this country to take
we'll to heart. "Mirabeau's Jest" is
an interesting episode in the life of
the great Frenchman. The Chan
mel Tunnel" and about Sister,
hoods" are interesting and instruc-
tiye.a CopiOus extracts translated
from the authoritative account of
Sarah Bernhardt's journey in Amer
lea have thoroughly French
sparkle about them. The article
entitled American Literature in
England, written by an anoDy-
nous reviewer, handles Messrs.
HoWells and james without gloves
The editorial departments are as
good as usual.

lively illustrated. George FL.
Broughton continues his Holland
papers with fresh and quaint de-
scription of Friesland. Colonel
Higginson's fifth paper on his
American History series is entitled
" The French Voyagers," and treats
of the early attempts made by the
French to establish colonies in this
country. The paper is effectively
| illustrated; Howard Pyle contribut-
ing several important pictures.
One OF the most valuable and in
teresting of the illustrated articles
is Mrs. NJ. e. Van Rensselaer's pa
lper on "'Parsifar at Baireuth." 1t
clearly shows Wagner'S method of
working out his musical and dram
attic conceptions, and gives fair
estimate of the place occupied by
him among modern composers. Not
the least entertaining portion of the
paper is that devoted to a descrip-
ton of the masters home-life. The
illustrations for the article include
drawings by Carl Mari, represent
ing the most striking scenes in
'ParSifal," a new portrait of Wag-
ner, and a beautiful full-page por-
trait of the soprano, F. Therese
Malten.
"Consola," an exquisitely beauti-
full poem, is contributed by Mrs. Fl.
w. Sewall, and is accompanied by
fine illustration, drawn by F. Diel-
man.

tributes an interesting chapter Of

William Blacks s'Shandon Bells"
and Miss Woolson's "For the Ma
jor" are continued; and good, short
stories are contributed by Mrs. II.
P. Spofford and M. Rowland.
Among the poems in the number
the most striking is Miss Jewett's
"The Eagle Trees" the subject being
associated with the poet Whittier,
and dedicated to him. Charles l..
Hildreth's Frost" treats an old sub
ject with much freshness and ex-
treme delicacy of fancy. S. S. Con-
ant contributes a charming valen-
tine poem; and Miss Mary A. Bars
"Lethe" is beautiful song-motive.

NORTH AMERICAN REyIEw.

The North american Repie1 for
March opens with an article on
Money IN Elections" by Henry
George, who brings to the discussion
OF that hackneyed subject a contri-
button full of originality, freshness
and keen insight; he points out
with admirable clearness one source
OF our political ills, and proposes a
remedy that seems both emfnentlv
practicable and efficient. Robert S
Taylor writes of the "Subiugation
of the Mississippi" work which in
his opinion, and in that of the Missis-
sippi commission, of which he ia q
member, can be accomplished only
by employing, for the purpose Of
deepening and Strengthening the
channel, the forces developed BY the
river itself. Moncure d. Conwav
contributes very striking study If

elevation of character, conspire to
make him the foremost English
man of his time. Hon. George w.
Julian's Railway Influence in the
Land Office" is a grave, judicial ex-
posure of the practices which,
against the manifest intent of the
law and the determination Of the
highest courts, have won for corpor-
atoms millions upon millions of
acres of the public domain. Richard
A. Proctor writes of the"Pyramld of

two preceding numbers for this
year. The third and concluding
part of Mr.. Longfellow's dramatic
poem Michael Angelo" occupies
thirty-One pages. and is so thor
oughly good and characteristic OF
Mr.. LongfellUW that many readers
will regret that it has come to an
end. J hn Burroughs, who is a
very hearty admirer of Carlyle,

very striking short stories to the
Atlantic, this month has another of
the same noteworthy character, en-
titled "Antagonism." ''By Horse
Cars into Mexico " is a lively travel
sketch by II. II. Mr.. George P.
Lathrop, Hawthorne's son-in-law,

history, has an essay full of in
formation on "Port Royal" "The
City of Earthquakes" by Horace
D. Warner, is a paper of startling
interest on the frequency and effect
Of earthquakes at Caracas, in Vene-
zuela. The most noticeable brief
poem of the number is by DR..

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY.

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY.
In The Popular Science Monthly
for March, Mr.. Gerrit L. Lansing,
considering "The Growth and Effect
of Railway Consolidation" shows,
by citations from reports and the
comparison Of statistics, that the
operation of consolidation has so
far been advantageous to the public
as well as to the railway-lines, by
furnishing more convenient trans
portation, and at cheaper rates, than
could have been obtained had the
various lines which have been abb
sorbed into the larger ones been left
to operate separately. DR.. Oswald's
Queer Phases of Animal Life" is
full Of interest and genial humor,
and the illustrations correspond.
Mr.. Boobies thoughtful review of
Natural Religion" isconcluded. In
the article following this, DIR. Yeo,
a distinguished British physi-
ologist, shows how much has
been added to the knoWl-
edge of the processes of life and the
nature of disease, with correspond
ing benefit to mankind, by expert
mental physiological research. DR..
Parrish'S Evolution of the Camp
Meeting discusses the change
which has come over that institu-
tion, Transforming it from q feast
OF tabernacles for worship to a
righteousness enterprise, and
glaneeS at sanitary matters; while
Miss Rhine's Sewage at the Sea-
side" compliments it by exposing
the fearful1y unsanitary condition
of most seaside resorts. Captain J.
w. Shackford, in ''Icebergs and Fog
in the North Atlantic" sets forth
the advantages of a southern route,
as giving a means of avoiding both
perlls. A sensible estimation of the
Remedial Value of the Climate of

Governor ROBBIE ''the horny handed farmer
and granger" held kid-glcve receptions last
winter in Portland, Lewiston and Bangor at
which silks and diamonds predominated and
to which the "plain people" were not invited.
Those cities have held elections since then and
all went Democratic as matter of course, be-
cause the people are nowaday expressing their
disapproval of hypocrisy, sham and deceit
Argus.
REcEPTIoNswe rendered Governor Robe
by organizations, military and other, in some
cities of the State. These organizations are
entirely non-polltical. He eourteously ac-
cepted the hospitality extended. He had
nothing to do with the arrangements for
them, the management of them, or with the
list of Invitations given out. How it may
have been in Lewiston and Bangor we know
not; but in Portland the ''plain people" at
tended in large numbers. Some guests
doubtless wore silks and diamonds at these
receptions, and some wore less costly fabrics
and avoided ornaments. Each guest was
guided by his or her own taste. If those in
silk attire were mentioned in the papers,
while those in wooden gowns went unnot-
iced, the fault was with the Jenkinses of
journalism and the readers who reyel in
gossip about dress mot with the Governor.
Court dress was not prescribed. 1t is prob
able that people donned their best, as most
people do when going to ball or reception.
The Argus paragraph is a piece of pure
demagoguery.

Five National Debts.

We are apt to complain bitterly OF our ma
tional debt 1t certainly is a BURDEN
though fast diminishing one,-but com
pares most favorably with the debts of other
great nations. The largest national debt in
The world is owed by France. 1t amounts to
81, ess, SAC, 900, or SILT 70 for every man,
woman and child in the country. Next
comes Russia with S4,3l4, COZ 1896. the debt
per capita being considerably less than that
of France, but scarcely less burdensome ow-
ing to the poverty-st-ieken and half civilized
character of the majority Of the population.
The debt of the German Government is
small because of the adherence to a strict
policy of taxation whereby the current ex.
penses are annually met, but the national
burdens are almost unbearably large not
withstandiug, mainly because of the cost of
the immense standing army. Great Britain
owes 1854 100000, or 500 o. per capita,
but she is rich enough to stand it for the
present at least, if she is not wise enough to
enter upon system of reducing it. The
people of the United States groan under the
weight of debt of about S1,7o0,00O,000, or
SS4 per capita, with country possessing
the richest certainties Of development of any
in the world. Still debt of even that size
is not a thing to be proud of. The smaller
ii grows the better it looks. The consola-
ton the comparison presents is that we are
much better off than our friends across the
water. Our best policy is to reduce the debt
as fast as the surplus in the Treasury per,
mits.

Fletcher NJ. Noe, the young taxidermist Of
this city has just completed the mounting
of most curious and wonderful moustrosi-
ty. 1t is a lamb which was born on the
farm of John Vanerder in Van Buren, Town
ship, Grant County, and by him presented
20 Mr.. Higbee, of Marion, Ind. Though
born alive, it only lived a short time. 1t
has seven legs, two tails and a double
mouth. From the head to six inches back
of tie neck it is perfectly natural, except the
double mouth, but from that point the body
divides, each half forming a complete body,
with two legs and a tail. The hind legs, al
though perfect in shape, all turn in different
directions On the middle of the back, Just
in front of where the bodies branch, is the
seventh leg, the lower part Of which is very
slender, but beyond the first joint it branches
and forms two large, well developed feet
The bones in this leg were so arranged as to
make the feet stand several inches above the
back The mouth is also a curious malfor-
nation, the bones in the lower jaw being
placed in such manner as to keep the jaws
apart two inches. To the end of the lower
jaw is attached another jaw of solid bone,
which has well developed row of teeth
growing from each side. This bone is placed
in such a manner as TO close the mouth
Mr.. Noe made careful dissection of The
body, which revealed the fact that from the
neck back the creature had two perfect
backbones, and that each Of the bones in the
various legs were naturally fastened to it..
1t also had two sets of intesiines and two
lungs, but only one heart.

The biggest authentic eat story of the sea
son comes from Marydell. A colored resi-
dent of that place had been employed by
Mr.. Charles Poore, who is tenant on one
of Col. Lloyd farms situated on Miles river.
some nine miles below Easton. AS the coll
ored man was about to leave Marydell, Mr..
T. NJ. Cooper asked if he would like to have
cat to take with him. The man said he
would not object; so Mr.. Cooper, who is a
biz man with heart to correspond. put two
fine specimens of the feline tribe into a sack
and put it in the car with the mans other
household contraptions. The cats were
safely landed from the cars at Easton, as
witnessed by a friend of the gentleman who
gave us these facts, and were carefully load
ed on wagon en- route for Mr.. Poore's
farm. In all probability they arrived at the
farm, though this cannot be vouched for at
present. However, the strange part of the
story is to follow, and that is that one Of the
cats, large gray fellow, of the masculine
gender, made his escape, either on the road
from Easton to Miles river, or more proba-
by after reaching its new home, and, max
ing its way back TO Marydell, deliberately
walked into its old home one evening last
week. The distance travelled by this intelli-
gent animal is at least forty miles
