Fiddle ANA Violin.

Edeuard Remenyi in The Current
Fiddle scraping is mere noise, de-
void of music. Millions do it.
Violin playing is something. A
few thousand people can do it.
Knowing how to play on a violin
Is a great deal. A few hundred may
do it.
To be individual, passionate and
poetical in playing the violin, is ac-
oomplished only by few; but to
grasp or to fathom the entire range
and capacity of it's little finger-board
none ever achieved it, nor ever will
Do you see how we dwindled down
from millions to nobody.

The English Mechanic says: cal
though the average speed of trains in
the United States is 20 per cent. be-
low the mean speed of trains in this
country, all things considered, the
service controlled by American engl-
neers compares favorably with any in
the world. The American engineers
at first copied English builders and
made locomotives with single drivers;
but, as is their wont, they quickly
made improvements, and we are not
disposed to dispute with Mr.. Edwards
the dictum that the American loco
motive of to-day is one of the most
perfect pieces of mechanism wrought
out by the hand and mind of man."

Germany's New Ambition,

Our American Congress, however, is
very reluctant to give any help to
American commerce. 1t has refused
for years to pay & fair price to. Ameri-
a steamers carrying the mails. 1T
has cost the Pacific Steamship Line, the
only one that carries the American tag,
thousands of dollars yearly to convey
the United States mail to the west
coast Of South America, Australia and
China. For this work it ought to be
paid handsomely, but the United states
Congress has forced that company to
carry the mails at far less than cost, for
if it refused, the law, was that their
steamers would not DE given clearance
papers. This gross injustice has been
rectified by the passage Of the Dinghy
bill. Great Britain has built mp her
mighty commerce by substituting steam
shin lines. and now Germany has enter

Getting Near to EuIope.

Science applied to the mechanic arts
is working mafvels in these modern
times. The Oregon, America, Alaska,
and a fleet of other swift steamers are
now making faster time between New
York and Liverpool than ever before
in the history of navigation. The Ore
gon Il from Liverpool to New York
in 6 days and 10 hours. A new steam
ship, the America, can run st the rate
of II miles an hour and will undoubt-
edly make the voyage in five days and
a half. Indeed, it is expected that the
trip will be made this year within five
days. Strangely enough the America
will perform this feat at d far less cost
than it can be done by her rival, the Or
egon. The latter burnt 337 tons Of coal
per day and employed 100 engineers
and flremen. The America burnt only
147 tons of eoal end employed 92 engi-
neers and firemen. The latter ship is
constructed upon the same principle as
Il magnificent Sound and River boats.
1t is broad-beamed and goes over rather
than through the waves, hence less
horse power is needed Git has but 5000
compared with the Oregon's 10000
while it also furnishes room for addi-
tional staterooms above the water line.

ed this field. That great empire is in
tent upon establishing colonies and
building up a lucrative commerce in
every quarter of the globe. 1t has add.
ed largely to its navy and is spending a
great deal of money in s~ubyentions to
steamship companies which are trying
to compete with Great Britain for the
commerce of distant countries. Ger

hence looks with longing eyes upon
Holland, the possession of which would
giveher command of the German Ocean.
The King Of Holland is an old man;
his only sen has just died, and his only
daughters right TO the throne is disput-
ed; for it seems there is some sort of a
Salique law in Holland as in France.
Germany desires to put II of her own
princelings on the throne OF Holland,
thus securing a front on the ocean by
which she could develop the eagerly
coveted commerce that would make
her the rival Of Great Britain. The
United States has the longest water
front and the finest harbors Of any ma
ton on earth, but it has no foreign
commerce of its own, because Of the
amazing fatuity of it's tariff and navi-

Thoughts by the Way.

What is the use of care and worry?
just SO fat as they are necessary to
stimulate activity, they are beneficial;
but the moment they go beyond that
they are actual h%indrances. I suppose
that more than one-half of all the suf-
fering Of humanity is suffering on &C
count of things that never happen. j
think if you look back and go over your
life, and winnow it, when you take out
all the fret and worry that really made
you unhappy, and deprivedyouof brights
cleaning joy, you will find that it was
the things which never happened that
you worried about. I think you will
find, on the other hand, that half of the
good things that have really befallen
you We're thingsthat younever dreamed
of. 1t was the unexpected that came
without your anxiety; and the things
which you were fretting and worrying
and twisting about necessarily, and
which you allowed to take away your
peace Oh mind, and Oltent1lnes to take
away your nerve, and unfit you for the
battle Of life, were things that did not
come near you. You never learned
from che day to another in that matter.
You fretted on Monday just as you did
on Sunday, and on Tuesday. Just as you
did on Monday, and on Wednesday just
as yot did on Tuesday, and SO on, year
after year, You never learn anything
about that. A man who attempted to
mend a Kettle would learn in an hour
that every time he put a hot iron to it
he made a bigger hole than he had
mended, and after a few trials that he
would give that up. But men go MAX
ing the same mistakes in the whole on
conduct and economyo of their life-work.

Ashes to Ashes,

The New York Cremation Company
now numbers $50 members, and Will
soon commence the erection Of a large
retort for the disposal of bodiesin East
Williamsburgh, on aheight overlooking
New York Harbor. There is no doubt
but what cremation is gaining in popu-
lar favor. 1t is realized that the des-
truction of the body in ordinary burial
is really q process akin to burning. 1t
is a slow wasting away under the most
repulsiye conditions. 1t is horrible to
think Of the putrefaction and worms
which destroy even the most beautiful
Of human forms. Mr.. CasWell Of the
New York Cremation Society thus de-
scribes incinesation. 1t is an attract
i've picture. CAS- the door Of the retort
is opened the in-rushing air cools it
from white to red heat and'the. whole
interior is filed with a beautiful rosy
light that is fascinating to the eye.
The body, clad as for burial, is laid in a
crib, which is covered with a clean
white sheet soaked in alum. The crib
is then put into the retort. The sheet
retains its original position andconceals
the form Until nothing but the bones
are left, and these gently crumble into
dust, as under the mystic touch of an
invisible agent The process might be
called the GENERALIZATION OF the body.
There is nothing repulsiye, or painful
about it. There is nothing which need
shock the most refined tastes or offend
the most delicate sensibilities. This
process, / think, is better than burial in
a grave. with it's concon1itant horrors"
In the o%rer>atory about to be erected in
East Williamsburgh, there is to be a
chapel for religious services, and a Me
mortal Hall to contain the vases with
the ashes of the dead. There is to be
nc willow or other .mournful trees or
shrubs; all is to be bright and joyous.

Wheat Harvest.

Dakota Outlook:-Soon the wheat
harvest will he ready for the reaper.
The loss ct much grain by Smelling will
be the penalty for allowing the grain
to stand until it is dead ripe. AS to the
quality of the kernel the Germantown
Telegraph remarks: It should be re-
membered that wheat is composed Of
gluten, starch and bran. Gluten is the
nourishing quality Of the grain, which
makes the -four stick. together in the
hands Of the baker, and gives weight
to the grain; and there is the greatest
quantity Of gluten in the grain just
when the straw is yellow two or three
joints from the ground, the head turns
downward, and when you can mash
the grains between the thumb and fin
ger without producing any milk. 1t
may, therefore, be set down as an in
disputahle truth that every day the
wheat stands after this stage OF ripe
ness the gluten decreases in quantity
and the bran increases in thickness.
and thus diminishes it's value.
What's the use2 What's..the use Of
fretting and. worrying about things of
the past? You cannot recall them, on
ly try to avoid the same mistakes in the
future. What's the use of being cross
and sur!y in the family, because bust
ness is not brisk Or you have failed in
an undertaking? this cannot remedy
the difficulty. What's the use Of spend
ing the evening on the streets instead
Of staying at home with your parents
or family and making them happy?
What's the use Of committing suicide,
or leading a reckless life, because the
girl you love will not marry you?
What's the use of getting. spunhy and
leaving church, because Of some diff
Guilty with a fellow member? One man
is not the church. You viii not iniure
him any by so doing but the RESPONSE
bility will rest on you, What's the use
in working all the week to spend the
money in drinking on Saturday night,
leaving your family at home in the
want OF food and clothingf No one
will think the better Of you, even the
