A FEW wears ago there was a great
craze among fat people over the Bunting
system of reducing obesity 1t consisted
in retaining from all food containing
starch, sugar or fat. In announcement this
may appear easy enough to do; in practice
it is exceedingly difficult. Subsequently
TEN, which allowed fat to be used, but for
babe sugar and starch This was modi-
lication of considerable Importance, espec-
tally for those living in cold climates.
Later the Munich system became popular,
which provided that the patient should
dress in wooden clothes, and sleep between
flannel blankets only. 1t is not believed
now that this system is any thing more
than speculative, and it certainly does not
fortify itself by any positive reasoning.
The latest Buntingism is known as the
Schweninger system which fixes rigidly
upon am interval of two hours between
eating and drinking. 1t is the
least sensible of all the systems for reduc-
ton of weight. But in one sense it is wise
advice, since for digestive reasons we
should not drink while eating. The Amer
leans, of all PEOPLE in the world claiming
to be civilized, wash down their food, and
of course weaken the gastric glands, for
they are not called into exercise in the
secretion and discharge of their necessary
fluids.

THE BOUNDARY LINE TROUBLE IN

England Is making actual preparation
for W.T. We have not believed that a con-
hict between Russia and the English En-
pirc would occur Present indications Ger

prepared for war, It is reasonable % hold

her Cape colony uneasy, and its relations

army in the Soudan heinmed in by Arab
hordes, and daring neither to retreat nor
advance; with the policy forced upon her
of preventing a successful rebellion upon

Iifc-poicy has been that OF peace, but
whose peculiar situation mt the head Of a
mixed Cabinet, and beset hy people
divided in sentiment between advance and
retreat, submission and war England has
full hand, and heavy burdens, and may
well shrink from new conflict, in which
the mere trap of war may wrest from her
the key to India, and imperil the richest
attachment of the Empire. Inquestion-
ably her present active preparation is be-
ing carried on more with the intention OF
imposing the world with sense of her
readiness to DO battle, than with any wish
for struggle in arms England Is still
the best-armed nation of earth. She is
still the lighting nation Of the globe. Her
supremacy Is not what it was in amplitude,
but it is still supremacy. In an actual
conflict, the reserve force and yigor Of the
United States of America would soon dis
pate with her the title, but between Eng
land ard old powers, she is second to none.
not even excepting Germany The
policy OF Disraeli hes compelled
Gladstone most unwillingly to the
Egyptian campaign, but in resisting
the cnerolchments OF Russia upon India,
il is certain that Gladstone very willingly
lays .-ide his peace policy. In that case
it is a question of self-defense, before which
even the most quakerish doctrines give
way. Russia, after strengthening her

troops into an unsettled region, partly
upland and partly dry plateau,

Offices and influences rule in both or all
parties, the voter, however intelligent and
brave, can do nothing at the ballot-box
His courage and intelligence must, there
fore, be first manifest in the party. Its
organization must be controlled by intelli-
gent and brave public spirit, or else the
ballot-box will be but an act in farce
If, as Justice Hargis says, the voter, hold
ing the jewel of modern civil liberty in
his hands, casts it in the dust, there is no
remedy for any III. He must exercise the
unit of the only arbitrary power given to
a people with thoughtfulness, freedom, in
telligence and solemn regard for the high
trust with which he is invested. Itfollows
that iIliteracy must give place to knowl-
edge, Indifference to action, and patriot
ism supplant partisanship control and boss
domination The essayist believes that
the radical remedy will be found in estab-
lishment of voting qualification measured
by educational ability. In this he may not
have the concurrence Of a majority of the
people. Human rights and human free
dom would, it will be claimed,
under an educational qualification be
put in peril because of lack of
ability to read or write, for instance. To
set up such a rule would be to create an
aristocracv Of intelligence say oppo-
nents. But we may well reply to
this, that such an aristocracy is not
dangerous to a free people, while as a
matter Of fact, no such class distinction
| could be permanent, since in brief time
all illiterates would be stimulated out OF
! their condition and educational influences
would be exerted to prevent future Tilt
| eracy OF any great extent. With wiser
and Drawer voting in the primary we
should have wiser and Drawer nominating,

ture and the best possible laws, as the re-
suit of their deliberations. with peo-
pie" says the essayist, to return to his text
for IA moment, educated in letters, and in

ills under which we labor. In the consid-
Grafton Of these we shall accompany Jus

some application of electricity, or

venting some application of electricity, or
a patent medicine, before he is competent
to impart the principles of his science to
others. The contempt of the practical
world for $50 called) 'doctrinaires,' is as
great mistake as for the specula-
tive writers to set themselves above the
men of affairs. AS in most things
the correct position lies somewhere be-
tween. If an economist is an abstract
thinker, and nothing else-unable to verify
his deductions-then he justly merits con-
tempt; but in that case he is not prop
erly equipped man. < On the
other hand, it is common to see merchants
or manufacturers showing great energy in
studying and writing upon economic sub
jects, who, so long as they confne them
selves to the range of facts within the linn
its of. their own horizon, make most valua-
bic and effective contributions to the
verifcation of principles; but when, with
ont accuracy, logical power or a grasp upon
governing principles, they begin to gener-
alize upon their limited data, they are very
apt to be less effective and useful than they
are dogmatic. He only is truly an econ
omist who, eagerly studious Of facts not i'll
one occupation or place only, but in as
many as possible, applies scientific pro
cesses to his investigation, and produces
that which becomes the worlds truth, the
property of men Of all times, not the petty
sum of thought which has grasped only a
small fraction of the facts. In other
words, when a wide-awake man goes to
books he really goes to get the experience
of the best Observers of all countries with
which to correct himself against false and
narrow differences drawn from his own
limited experience"
