The Decay of Will Power.

Strong wills are becoming as rare
as healthy physical organizations. The
world is "fussy," but only because hui
mainly is working itself too much.
Brain tissue has increased; but healthy,
vigorous thought has diminished. At
fectations have become realities. and
realities affectations. A toothache con
verts us into inyalids, where our ances-
tors laughed at the govt. We have
beaten the gold leaf SO thin that it has
lost it's own color, and shines with a
CHASTITY green light. Sentiment has
carried us past common sense; we have
had such terror of the flesh that we
have cultivated brain at the expense of
motive tissue. and have produced a gil
ants skull that is too heavy for the dwarf
legs to bear. Emotions have been re-
fined, but they have not been improved |:
brain has increased, but strong, vigor-
Gus thought has diminished. Educa-
ton has become diffused, but what the
many have gained the select few have
lost and though there are abundance Of
readers, the race Of prophets has died
out. Suicide has increased because will
and healthy thoughts have diminished.
It is disease born Of modern affecta-
lions, of the disappearance Of that self
control and self respect that are better
than carloads of mock sentiment and
morbid melancholy. Aside from the
irresponsibility of insanity, all unsue-
cessful self murderer needs large dose
of iron and a large dose of the whip;
aid to crush out all future attempts
needs a strong dose OF public contempt
and q strong dose Of the treadmill. In
q certain sense nature uses suicide to
rid the world of fools: but it is, never
theless, a blot on civilization and a
warning that there is limit to all
things, even to human progress. HUI
mainly has made "a rapid journey
towards perfection; but the point has
been now reached when rest and relax
alton become a necessity We nave
conquered worlds; let us now return
for while to the old Greek proverb,
and try to conquer ourselves. Boston

IT, Woman suffrage in Washington Ter
ritory has not yet borne unwelcome
fruits, if the officials tell the truth.
THE governor, in his annual report to
the federal authorities in Washington,
says: Although many Of our citizens
are. disposed to question the wisdom of
this law, especially when attended with
the requirements thai women should
serve as jurors, it meets with the APP
proval of a large majority Of the ,peo-.
pie, and the women of the territory are
for theme part strongly DESTROYS that
sshe enactment be retained upon our
statute books. Thus far it seems at
tended uith no important results un-.
favorable to the welfare Of the people
of the Il fritory. Chief Justice Greene,
of Washington Territory. in his last
charge to the Grand Jury, bears
the following testimony to the.
good effect OF women serving on juries
q Twelve terms OF court, ladies and gem
tlernen,I have now held, in which
women have served as grand and petty
jurors, aud it is certainly a fact beyond
dispute that no .other twelve her1ns so
salutary for restraint of crime hare ev-.
er been held in this territory. This
5testimon of the Governor and Chief
Justice, is by no means conclusive as to-
the probabls results elsewhere. Should
The exp erin,ent b tried in thickly set
tied portions Of the country, the result
might not be 10 favorable. Bnt every

patience is wonderful It is nearly as good az

Impotence acts as brain irritant; IT sends the

Purchasing for Christmas.

The habit Of deferring the purchasing of
materials to be used in making presents for
Christmas, until few weeks Of that time, is
no better than any other along the line of pro-
crastinaton; though the results of such are
nothing compared to those that follow where
greater interests are concerned.
The nearer the holidays the higher priced
are the goods, and the more crowded the stores
with less che nces of getting suited; for when
one is iostled by a crowd Of selfish women
each thinking only Of themselves and the arti-
cles they want to purchase, it is to sensitive
nature easier to make do" than longer to wait
for the clerk who is trying to serve half
dozen all at the same time. and conset ucntly
requiring the questions 60 often repeated, that
it is tiresOue
We know of a lady whose custom it was,
when she had large number OF purchases to
make to spend from ten clock In the morn
ing until one O'Clock in the afternoon Ill one
of the largest stores in the city: thereby lay-
ing time to make a careful selection, and,
matter Of COURSE seldom failed of securing
bargains. Not a cheap article cheap, but
good article cheap.
There are many who make purchases after
the style of ''Ioodles" wife, whose mania was
attending auctions, and never buying a usef nj
or complete article, but such as ~ door plate,
having the name OF Thompson on it, because
she might have daughter, who might marry
n man by the name of Tl.oulpson.' This is an
extreme case, to be sure; but it is about
equaled by the purchasing of something at a
low price for which there is no immediate use,
and it is packed away in some drawer or store
room, to be taken out some time after, only to
find it out of style or SO yellow that it cannot
be made white again
However, few housekeepers are situated SO as
10 be able to spend much time in making pur-
chases, even if they were inclined; andfor those
who cannot there is a happy medium, in which
sufficient time should lie given, in order that
IN equivalent for their money may be had for
no one doubts that there is always D. choice in
all lines Of goods. So we say buy now what
you are intending to use in making Christmas,
presents. -Rural New Yorker

What to Teach Girls.

Give your daughters thorough education
Teach them to cook and prepare the food of
the household. Teach them to wash, to iron,
70 darn stockings, to sew on buttons, to make
their own dresses. Teach them to make bread,
and that good kitchen lessons the doc
tors account Teach them that he only
lays up money whose expenses are less
than his income and that all grow poor
who have to spend moro than they receive.
Teach them that calico dress paid for
fits better than silken one unpaid for: Teach
them that a full, healthy face displays greater
lustre than fifty consu,nptive beauties. Teach
them to purchase and to see that the account
corresponds with the purchase Teach them
that an honest mechanic in his working dress
is better object of esteem than dozen
naughty, finely dressed idlers. Teach them
gardening and the pleasures of nature. Teach
them, if you can afford it, music, painting,
ect, but consider them as secondary objects
only. Teach them that walk is more sauta-
tsry than a ride i'll carriag". Teach them to
reject with disdain all appearances, and to use
only eyes" or ''No" in good earnest.-Sermon
by Mgr Capel.

season and failing during another Of no greate'
severity:
''rhe cause of winter killing is not low tenn.

ripen in the fall the more fatal will be the cold
Of the following winter. Raspberry canes that
drop their leaves in August or early in Septem-

where from Georgia to Hudsons Bay in British

A new explosive has been invented by NJ
Turpin, Partisan chemist 1t is said to be
very powerful, and unlike nitro-glyoerine,
dynamite and gun-cotton, it has the highly
important property Of not being affected by
conclusion. 1t is made by the combination
of two liquids, which can be transported like
ordinary chemicals, and need only be mixed
when the explosive is about to be used. II
can be employed in is liquid form or when
absorbed by silicious earth. Frost does not
affect. it. AT Cherbourg experiments have
been made with this substance upon s!aty
rocks containing quartz, and also upon old
cement work, aud the report Of tine engineers
praises it very much.

The Cabinet builders insist upon
placing portfolio in Mr.. Bayard's
hands but we have no idea that he
will surrender a seat in the Senate
that he holds by so solid tenure, for
a four years occupancy of a place at
council table with all the possibili-
ties of clashing views and uncon-
genial nelghbors that may force re-
tirement. As either Secretary OF
State or of the Treasury the cabinet
would be almost glorifed by his in
cumbency, but the Democratic party
would lose one of its grandest lead
ers in the Senate, and Bayard woulc
make greater sacrifice than the
country or the party has right t(
expect from any man.
Nor do we think that GarlanC
wants cabinet appointment. Lik'
Bayard he loves debate and is at hi
greatest when on his feet. Brough
down to the routine of department
