LONDON, July 2G-The calling together Of
the prominent members of a successful party
in the midst Of cabinet-making is almost phe-
nomenal, and it is believed that the conven-

due to the fact that Lord Salisbury has re-
ceived hint that the Ulster Tories will op-
pose any reform in the local government OF
Ireland. This being the case it was neces.
sary for Lord Salisbury to Quell the incipi-
ent mutiny by explaining the limits of hi'

mittee on appropriations has acted upon the

l believe there is in most men and wo-
men, however degraded, the seed Of a
better life. The first step will probably
be the awakening, an interest in some
thing outside themselves; not n purpose
of change, but simply an interest. 1t
may be n desire TO learn the alphabet, or
an awakened taste for reading, or a lit
tie inclination to know something. 1t
may be a pride in personal appearan ce,
or n wish TO get commentator for good
behavior, or a dawning sense of the
agreeableness Of order, neatness, cleanli-
ness. Or it may be some pleasure in a
discovered power to do well a piece of
work. This interest, once aroused, a
be stimulated by various indictments,
slight rewards of promotion, the fear Of
social degradation; and this path Of do
ing well will become powerfully attrac-
tive when it is seen to be the path, the
only one, to liberty.
But this interest in n form, with
even the prize Of liberation, can not be
depended on to last. The will of the
criminal is weak and vacillating. He
can not be depended on; he can no de-
pend upon himself, for continuance. He
may fall and fall again and again. The
only remedy in his case-and it is the
common case-is to keep him at it, keep
him trying, until n habit is formed, until
his will is strengthened, until, in fact,
it is mentally and physically just as easy
for him to live a normal, healthful life
as i, was TO live a disorderly life.-Har.

A Norwich correspondent writes OF the
young burglar. who is now in New Lon
don jail; Give him twenty minutes
alone with n safe" says the sheriff, -and
he can open the most intricate lock that
even was devised; and il you will tell
him merely the name of the shoemaker,
he will tell you instantly all the parts in
the lock, and give you a diagram Of its
mechanism. He never breaks a lock; he
simply finds out inside Of twenty minutes
the combination in which it sits, opens
the safe and takes out what he wants
and relocks it, and when the owner re-
turns he finds the safe apparently just as
he left it. To accomplish his work he
needs, in addition to his quick wit and
mechanical knowledge, three ordinary
wires, which he forces into the lock
about the handle in such a way that the
number OF the combination is reduced to
twenty-four.
-He reasons that all persons in locking
n safe make a certain number OF moves,
and a knowledge of this fact enables him
TO further reduce its probable combina-
ton as TO two or three movements. These
two or three movements he find put by
actual trial, which consumes the greater
part Of his twenty minutes. In the case
when the safe is in an apartment that is
in full view OF the street, he drops a little
quicklime IN the floor, pours water on it,
and the steam that arises effectually
cloaks the windows. In three instances
he unlocked safes, abstrated the contents,
relocked them, and made of in the time
that the men who were in charge of them
were at their dinners. He got away with
the valuables in a Stratford safe in this
way."-Connecticut Paper.

At a recent meeting of the Philolog-

ton to the use OF the word lther in mid

inalarious. Does not this account for
the name of Liverpool formerly Lither-
iole) Perhaps this suggestion will not
he very acceptable to the local pride Of
the citizens of hat famous town, but it
would not, think, be easy to d~isprove
"a possibility.
There is a curious analogy TO this
g. ymology on the other side OF the
land. A suburb of Hull beanI the
i'tme Of Drypool, which does not mean
dry pool but is, AS the Doornsday Book
apclling shows, a corruption OF the old
Morse drit-pollr, -dirt-pool." 1t is by
the merest chance that. this did not be
come the name of the town itself. II
such had been the case the two great
northern sea ports would have been
c%uriously alike in the unsavory signif-
cance Of their names.-The Academy.

IL would be a surprise to the general
reader TO learn the whole number of pas
senger trains making regular daily trips
al over this big country and the multi
tlde of people who de thereon. The
constant number Of the latter would be
millions; and yet there is not one killed
in a year u of every 10, 1000 who travel
thus. 1t is the safest mode of travel in
use-much less destructive TO life and
Limb pro rata than to trust ones chances
behind or on the back of the somewhat
eccentric horse; by far safer than 10 I'M

steamboat on the bosom Of a treacher-
Gus body of water.
The percentage of railroad accident
mortality has Of late years grown so
small that it seems almost safer TO live
aboard a moving train than to walk the
streets. The a~ir-brake, the patent and
constantly improved platforms and
rouplers, the almost perfect rail and
load-beds, the paper wheel, the block
lystem and perfected mode of railroad
telegraphy have brought this all about.
