The Faculty Of Wonder.

If YOU wish to write an essay, or to
begin a conversation and are at a loss
for something to write or talk about,
only write or say 81 Wonder,' and
something will be sure to follow. But
"show me the man who never wonders,
and l will show the man who never
thinks,' said Voltaire. Asses never
wonder, they take everything for grant
ed and seem to be complete fatalists.
They receive the cudgel as patiently as
if it were preordained and essential to
the harmony of the universe. The in
tellectual people, those who are not
asses, investigate. think, wonder and
cease to wonder, but they have no soon
er ceased to wonder at one thing than
they begin to wonder at another. [ am
willing to grant that there is nothing
new under the sun; but for all that we
live in a very wonderful world, and are
constantly surrounded by world OF
wonders. In fact, everything is Won
1crful, and the greatest wonder in the
world would be to find anything not
wonderful. Wondering is the peculiar
faculty and privilege of human and in
tellectual beings. / have said above
that asses do not wonder; they have
not wit enough. 1 was going to say
that wondering may be applied as n
distinctive epithet of the human species,
and that Plato might have amended his
definition by this addition; but fear l
should be wrong. Plato defined man
as a featherlcss biped, upon which
Diogcnes, who was what the world calls
wicked wag, stripped the feathers
from poor unfortunate bantam cock,
and exultingly exclaimed: There is
Plato's man. Now, if Plato, in order
to render his definition more definite,
had defined man to be q wondering,
featherless biped, Diogones would still
have been down upon him, saying:
"Look at Plato's mana featherless BIZ
ped, wondering what has become of
his feathcrs!' Broohtym Eagle.

How to Make Copying Ink.

Any common black ink or writing
fluid can be made into good copying
ink by adding some sugar or other sac
charine matter to it. To prepare, dis
solve one ounce of lump sugar to one
and one-half pints of writing fluid.
Within five or six hours after writing
letters or other documents with this pre-
pared ink they can be copied by pres
sure on damp, unsized paper. If old
writing be wet with weak solution of
iron, to which a small portion of sugar
syrup has been added, q faint reproduc-
ton can be taken with firm pressure
upon unsized paper, with the result Of
rendering the original much paler than
before, as the process simply dissolves
the original ink used and transfers it.
To copy printing ink, dampen the sur
face with weak solution of acetate of
iron and press on any paper of absorb
ent nature.

PRESS COMMENT.
General Agreement That the Evil Day L
Only POStDOned.


LONDON, April 20. notwithstanding the
advance i'll English and Russian securities,
war is still in the London air, as witness the
press opinions of Saturday. The Times
says:
Are we then to leave the ameer to his own
Devices after engaging him in the conflict
with Russia, for which his unaided forces
are inadequate! And if we do 50 can we ex-
pect that the Afghan5 will not deem them
selves betrayed and throw themselves into
the arms of the stronger power?
Says The Telegraph:
We do not know that the two govern
ments have yet established anything like
sufficiently powerful conductors to carry off
the electric feeling of the nations. As a
matter of fact, nothing, we believe, has been
settled. If the Afghans call upon US to
stand firm it still remains possible that war
may he wiser and better in the long run
than peace.
Says the Chronicle:
Russia is really aiming at Herat, aud no
man in his senses can doubt it. Concession
may avert collision for the moment but
only defer it to season more favorable for
Russia.
10 the following effect:
Nobody who has the honor of England at
heart can help feeling that the government
Is paying disastrous price for the respite
which it is proposing to secure. Continental
critics are careful to hold up the mirror
so as to show our contemplate
figure. Russia has once more gained
q triumph at our expense She has
gained the credit which we have lost. We,
on the other hand, have not secured peace.
That degree of Illusion is simply impossible,
however sanguine We may be- The conflict
has only been postponed to some future
time, and period of great defensive arma-
ments has opened for the British empire in
India.
HIt is reported that NJ. Waddington, the
French minister at London, has telegraphed
De Freycin that there need be no fear Of
war between England and Russia, as the
two countries have agreed upon plan for
settling the Afghan frontier question.
