In Memory.

Death is at all times cad, but when IL
cuts down in its progress, youth and talent
and the fondest affection, then does 1t come
as thing of evil, deadly terror and bar
binger of grief which leaves lis impress
through days and weeks and months and
wears. These reflections are suggests by
the death of Mrs. Julia Castle Holmes,
in this city, last Wednesday.
She was in the morning of her yonth and
was rarely gifted, IS she possessed an
already highly cultured voice which had
won her name and fame where ever it had
been heard.
But she SCREW aweary" and, when the
Boatman beckoned, she went over the sol.
emn waters and In the @land of the Leaf
she is singing among the angel choir Of
Heaven.
She died and DER her lonely grave
MAY flowers bloom and grasses grow,
Nav birds their mathis DER her ring,
And southern breezcs DER her blow.
Nav hearts enshrine her fair and sweet,
And pure affection ne'er forget,
In life we loved her fond and we'll
In death must mourn her with regret

The use of blood as food for cattle
has, it is stated, been the subject Of
experiment in Denmark by a chem
list, who, as result has now invented
and patented a new kind of cake in
which blood forms one of the chief
ingredients. This new food is said to
be exceedingly nutritious and whole
some, and is eaten with avidity by al
sorts of animals and some COWS and
horses, which have naturally strong
dislike to the smell of blood.

The bishop Sf Melbourne. Austria
liz, entertsins some practical idea,
about prayer. A number of people
in his diocese recently asked him to
incorporate in the church service a
petition that rabbits should be smitten
with sterillty, to which he replied that
such petition would be an insult to
God. And he added that if the rab-
bits have become a pest it is because
the people have been to lazy to exter.
inmate them.
A good story is told of the good
dsacons who laid down the law at q
town meeting in Western Massachu-
setts, held to discus the running of
trains on Sunday. The first deacon
objected. "The Lord" said he, sal
ways blessed this state when her
people remembered the Sabbath day
to keep it holy. And what says the
Scripture ,-''Six days shalt thou Ia
Dor and do all thou hast to de, and
the seventh thou shalt rest" The
second arose to say word for a liter-
al construction of the commandment.
in view of the public needs in the
matter of Sunday travel. 81 ask the
deacon who has just spoken" said he,
"to remember that our Lord on one
occasion said that if an ass fall into a
pit ON Sunday it was right to pull
him out" oval, I reckon" rejoined
the first deacon, "that 1 know all
about what eur Lord said about the
ass and the pit, but if the same ass
fell into the same pit every Sunday.
I'd either kill the ass or gill up the
hole. New Haven n. j.

A SERMON IN IT.

The untimely death of Judge W.
Dunlap of Kansas City has brought
sorrow to the hearts of many, not
only because he was an able and 9
young man but because he was Of
spotless honor, loyal and true. And
yet in this, there is a whole sermon
against the common practice of carry.
ing weapons whether in the Office,
the street or the church. There
seemed to be no particular need of an
honorable upright citizen, in eiviliz.
ed community, such as Kansas City
is said to be, carrying deadly weapon
and that it went off against himself
rather than any other man while I'm.
fortunate, yet was a measure of re.
tributive justice.
There can be no consistency in the
penalty against carrying concealed
weapons when the man who sits in
judgment hides with his ermine an
arsenal already cooked and primed
and while the accident which deprived
society of q useful member, his
family of bis devotion and his friends
a loyal comrade, is to be deeply de-
plored in the death of Judge Dunlap,
yet if others can learn a lesson then
will he not have died In vain.

The Kansas City Times has this to
say: The divorce epidemic affords
some rather peculiar examples of the
readiness with which o severance OF
the marriage tie can be secured in
different localities in the union. The
Philadelphia papers have taken the
alarm on account of the undue and
unusual number Of divorce cases in the
courts of that city, the Chicago papers
have piped the note of warning and
have called upon the legislature for
redress of the wrongs possible and
usual under the divorce laws, and the
San Francisco papers call attention To
the fact that in one of the country
counties, Alameda, but within a brief
ride of that city, for suits for the dis
solution Of the marriage co-partner-
ship were commenced last year, and
that the divorce was Only granted in
every case except Eve, which was twice
the number denied the year abefore.
IF the states named, and others that
could be named, had laws making the
divorce a difficult thing to obtain.
there would be fewer grass widowers
and grass widows by a good many.
Wholesome changes in the law of In
diana, once the paradise of the divorce
seeker and as full of these people the
year round as hive is of bees, have
redeemed that state very great de.
gree from the evils of an institution
which was her shame. People who
are citizens and who have permanent
residence there still get divorces, bat
not by the Wholesale, as was formerly
the case. Law will therefore, control
the abuse of this privilege where abuse
exists. Wherever the courts are
found to be full of these suits there
must be something wrong with the
system as it exists on the statute
books. For surely courts do moi
grant divorces for the fun of the
thing; and the fatal facility with
which they are wrested from the
judges must simply mean that legisla-
tioa is needed, and needed badly.

4 Physiological Check to Popula
ton,

If we consider special cases of noted
men, the great generals of the world,
the commanding statesmen, the dis
tinguished scientists, the celebrated
authors-all, in fact, who have be.
come distinguished for their superior
mental ability-an almost universal
result appears; they have either left
no descendants, or their families were
very small. And for that matter, We
need but to look at evidences every
where surrounding US. We think ii
will be found to be general rule that
persons constantly exercised in men,
tai labor have few or no children /;
those of less active minds have larger
families; while the largest families
belong to those who do not trouble
theLIs, Ives to think at all.
There is an abundant reason to be-
lieve, then, that such a physiological
check to population really exists, and,
in its operation, it is not difficult to
perceive . rich promise for the future
of the human race. For it is in no
sense, in its superior phrase, a starva-
ton check. Nor does it need any of
the violent repression of natural de-
sires exercised in the prudential check.
At frs. sight, it appears as if Its ten
dency must be to CONSTANTLY place the
cultured at a disadvantage in num-
bers es compared with the dull and
ignorant. But this disadvantage is
more than counterbalsnced by the
progress of education and the brain in
of modern civilization. Thus
the class of brain workers is being con-
tinually recruited, despite its lack Of
fecundity, and we can see indications
of an immense future augmentation of
this class of the population at the ex-
pense of the unthinking. and coDse-
quently Of q new carrier TO the prog
ress of population, whose efficacy lie
now but beginning to appear.

Notwithstanding the frequent re-

with them an omen of some great
danger to the earth or the moon.
The Green ianders have q personal
