headway. The little two-year-old son of
Mrs. Street of London, Eng, was under
the seats and debris, and was burned to
crisp.

IDEAS OF THE HEREAFTER.

s THE RELIGIOUS VIEWS OF SOME NOTED
AMERICAN LITERARY WOMEN.
A good deal has been written of
late concerning the religious belief of
1aut,. cs whose works sre widely
read Aad a number ofliterary women
whose names are familiar to the pub
lie have been asked for an expression
of their views on the subject. Some
Rof the replies are interesting. Miss
[Rose Elizabeth Cleveland says:
My belief is in religion which
Hooks into poor-houses and idiot

kand still believes humanity reclaim
Fable, however marred or fallen, and

lefines her position

laws Of the Creator will be obliged to
occupy low place in the next world
and separated from those who lived
true to principle. that they must be
GIN the dreary labor of reformation
alone with their awakened. con-
sciences.
The author of the famous poem,
/" Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight, "
Rose Hartwick Thorpe, writes:
+ believe in God, the Creator, the
eternal good which shadows our in
nerfections with the wing of supreme
righteousness. God is the fount of
all true happiness. When We cease
to beat our bruised pinions against
the cruel bars of fate, we rise to a
nearness to Him. Church and creeds
have their place, and most impor-
tant one, in the education of mind
and the formation of character. They
ure open channels directing stagnant
waters of skepticism to the broad
and purifying sea beyond. The near
er we approach chat sea the more we
think on the love that guides us, and
less ON the discussions and strife and
dogmas of small Importance. We
remember that love leads Gods chill
dren home. Some may wander
through intricate ways, while others,
divining Gods purpose with clearer
perceptions, may follow the straight,
smooth pathway, and all, guided by
love, will reach the haven of love at
last.
Miss Lillian Whiting thus express
es her views:
I believe in God as the supreme
creator of all things; believe in
His beloved son Jesus Christ, as our
teacher, redeemer, if we will be re-
deemed. do not think that the mere
mental assent of faith goes very far,
or at least it is but the initial step.
The belief in Jesus is that condition
which renders it possible for Him to
help me. But in the truest and full
lest sense / believe that each soul
must work out it's own salvation ;
that mortality is to some extent an
achievement that some are more
immortal than others. / believe the
event we call death is far less of a
change than have been, in older ages,
believed. To me it seems but the
opening ola door-a transition-and
perhaps it is but one of many success
sive changes in the periods of immor-
tai life. / believe we must achieve
an immortality now and here; that
we must beEmmortal now, by living
spiritually, and not only materially ;
that we must carry the ideal Chris
tian spirit into the actual daily life,
and show our faith in God, our love
for Christ, mot only by our lips, but
in our lives, and / believe we can give
ourselves to His service just as truly
in every ordinary vocation as could
be done by the purely contemplative
life to which some individuals are
certainly called. I deeply believe in
the great need of personal holiness,
and / believe it possible for every
human soul to attainit.

It is said to be curious sight to
watch the little Indian children when
they first come to the House of the
Good Shepherd, in Denver, COL, to
be educated by the Government.
When they first reach the institution
they go up stairs on their hands and
knees, not understanding the use Of
the stairs, and sleep at night under
the bed, from which they first pull the
clothes.
School life in China means some
thing different for the boys and girls
from what it does here. The girls do
not have to go at al, and the boys be-
gin at six or seven years old. There
are no vacations of nine weeks, or
half holidays, or Fourth of Julys. At
dawn in the morning school begins,
and when it gets too dark to read
school closes. Mothers are not both
cred with unruly children, and much
of the child's training is thus done by
the the teacher.

And / don't know whar to go.
First, de Presbyterians tell me
Not to kick up any row,
If the Lawd is gwine to save me,
He will do it anyhow;

And den hist me on de deck;
And. dat when gifts good started,

And dey takes me to de pool,
And dew saw to me, Now Charity.

And be sure you do what's right;

Professor w. X. Brooks, of Baltimore.
has discovered that favorable environ
ment tends to produce an excess OF fe-
males amoug animals and plants, and an
unfavorable environment an excess OF
males. If this be true, race or species
which is on the point of extinction shonid
have an excess of males. M
The population of Australia coosists OF
q small and decreasing number OF aborig'
ines, and a prosperous and increasing
population of foreign settlers aud their
descendants amounting in all to nearly
5000, 600 persons. As the native poPu'
lation is rapidly disappearing, we should
expect to fnd the males more numerous
among them, as compared with the fe-
males, than among the inhabitants OF
foreign origin, provided other conditions
are equal For each 100 females there
were in Victoria, of native-born Austria
lians. 100 2.l0 males, and of foreigners,
exclusive OF CulUeSe, lZ5 ~ ua'So.
The ratio OF males to females 10 the pop
ulation of foreign origin is therefore very
much greater than it would be if it de-
pended upon the birth rate alone; and as
this modifying Influence does not affect
the aborigines, an excess of males among
them, no greater, or even little less,
than that found among the inhabitants
of foreign origin, would indicate that the
excess of male births is much greater
among them than among the people OF
foreign origin. Computation shows that
the excess of males among the aborignes
is, notwithstanding these neutralizlng In
Huences, very much greater than it is
among the foreign population.
For all Australia there are l43 " abor-
iginal males to 100 females; there are only
1854 males of foreign descent to each
100 females, notwithstanding the fact
that l29 males settled 10 these colonies
to each 100 emales.-Scieace.

resisted in the headlong rush OF the train
whereas in the latter case it is undisturbed.
Another strange effect OF this peculiar
and occult force is that exerted on the
watches of trainmcn. A timepiece carried
by conductor running a train twenty
miles an hour, however accurate it may
be, it will, if the speed kof the train
be increased to, say City miles, become
useless until regulated. The magnetism
generated by the fight of train may 70
said to be in proportion to the speed
with which it is propelled. and the deli
cate parts of a watch, numbering all the
way from four hundred to one sthoussnd
pieces, and peculiarly susceptible to this
influence, by reason of the hammering and
polishing they have received, ARE not slow
to feel the effect.

Most well.informed people are doubt
less aware that the globe Oh which they
live is ball of magnetism, but compare
lively few have an adequate idea of the in
6uence this property is continually exert
ing on all sides, that many common but
inexpl cable phenomena can be traced di
rectly to this source. Statistics 60 to
show that 10 the matter of steel rails, as
many as thirteen will become crystallzed
and break where they go to make up q
railroad track running east and west, be
fore one of those on a north aud south
track is similarly affected. THIS is entirely
due to the magnetism gen rated by fric-
tiou, and the fact that the polarity Of the
magnetic current is in the former instance
