Nineteenth century, remark not without a
touch OF satire and of pathos, too; and we
find ourselves asking if il Ia necessity OF
our advanced civilization that men must
work 50 lone and so continuously day after
day. that they never see their children e1-
cept asleep? No sweet, simple prattls ABOUT
the fathers knee, no little fat, dimpled arms

The Herdld, with its accustomed mod

edged fact that when man wishes to

Cremated by Electricity.

The subject of cremation is assuming more
importance daily. 1t is now proposed to
utilize the electric current for this purpose.
The body, enveloped in a shroud Of asbestos,
is laid upon two large copper plates, separated
a foot or more from each other These plates
are connected with dynamos of great electro
motive power On turning on the current
the body Is rapidly consumed, as, occupying
the same position as the carbon or an electric
lamp, it becomes highly heated. The process
is said to be much more rapid than the old
method, and is certainly not SO Objectionable
in many respects. Chicago Tribune.

Relative to Mr.. He-bert's BILL to make
ex-Confederates eligible to appointments
in the army, Mr.. Gibson, of West Vir-
ginia, says: ut is contrary to our form of
government that any citizens rights
should be curtailed. put the passage of
the bill on stronger grounds than Mr..
Herbert does, for deem it an act, not of
generosity, but Of common justice"

The Columbus Labor Congress has

The Columbus Labor Congress has
snubbed Powderly's Committee of
Knights of Labor who wished to claim
the courtesies of the floor. The Trades
Union men appear to have the right idea
in opposing the big combinations by
which the head spirits of the Knights of
Labor can control large bodies of work
ingmen against the local interests of the
unions.

the way of army and navy managers to
maintain itself abroad and at home.

There is tremulous rumor of war be-
tween Germany and France, though there
il no cause for it, except in the popular
feeling among the French people about
the loss of Alsace and Lorraine. But the
tremendous process of arming in France
gives some credit to the report.

The Senate will not tackle the question
of secret sessions until it is forced up to

A Shifting Car Called For.

There is need that splitting car be pro-
vided for those who chew tobacco, or that
those who thus indulge be consigned TO the

brethren. 1t is certainly more Of nuisance
to use the door as a spittoon than it is to
leave upon it little tobacco ashes and the
flavor of smoke. -Independent

Don't Get Left.

The man, town, city or community
that in this g halts, and waits for
s%emething to turn up" will most as
surcdly get left! The present only is
ours, and, it is a question of success on
the one hand or misfortune and ruin
on the other. This fact is strikingly
exemplified by individuals, firms or
companies, in Philadelphia. The err
rand boy in an ofiic has become the
proprietor of one of the most popular,
enterprising and successful newspapers.
the clerk in a clothing house with hard
" a five dollar bill in his pocket be-
comes the head of the greatest mer-
chandizing concern in America, or in
other country; the young student in
materia mcdica. who compounded medi-
cines in accordance with his own sense,
knowledge and belief, as sure remedies
for certain diseases, and tried to sell
them to a druggist, and when failing in
that, begged him TO take the medicines
and, if a suitable opportunity presented
itself, to sell or give them away, at last
succeeded in introducing his remedies
to the world, and was rewarded by a
fortune. 1t has been said that by e
slow process of generations, manki d
has come to learn that our position in
nature is dependent upon ourselves, and
that only as we apply ourselves can we
obtain control over the conditions in
which we are placed. The ingenuity of
the inventor has kept pace with the in
creasing requirements for new processes
to meet the new demands and increas-
ing necessity for economy of time in tue
greater activity of industrial life. Our
manufactures must not stand still, great
difficulties have been surmounted,
greater mes are yet TO be overcome.
Let the merchant, the mechanic, the
student, the laborer in any righteous
and laudablc undertaking move on, and
keep moving on, and he will find success
nearer than he had hoped.-Denyer
