Labor and LIQUOR.

At present the working man can
hardly make both ends meet. Is il
not because he insists on creating
capitalists out of saloon keepers, and
not content with that, on submitting
all his rights of citizenship to the
same object of worship?
The saloon in politics is the most
hidcous abuse of the day; but where

loudest, when strikes are most FIRE.
quent, when hunger and misery arc
most rife in the homes of the poor
the saloon hourishes still. There
may be no bread at home, but there

Mr.. Edison's Baby and His

According to the New York Her
aid, Thomas \. Edison, the inven-
tor, has been interesting himself with
his new baby and a photograph at
his home. When the baby crowed
with glee, the crow was registered
on "a; ;ao pa monograph when it got MAD
and yelled, its piercing screams
were irrevocably recorded on the
same machine. That monograph is
now receptacle Of every noise pc.

CONDENSED Literature.

The tendency of the times, re-
marks the Norwich Conricr, Is to-
ward condensation. We have con-
d"nsed beef, a small portion # which,
dissolved in hot water, piyes one a
draught containing as much nour-
ishmcnt as a whole beef.teak. We
also have condensed milk, and con-
dcnsed food Of other kinds, which
contains a maximum amount of the
essential quality within minimum
amount of space. How far this ten.
dency toward condensation will even
tually carry men in the matter of
food, 1t is dilicult to predict. Per.
haps the time will com. when the
art of extracting and condensing the
active principles or essence of com.
cstibles will be so advanced that
one may be able to obtain in small
pellet as much refrcshment and
nourishment as he now obtains in a
whole meal. Then, all the time now
consumed by good housewives in the
preparing breakfast, dinner and sup,
per and b, the business members d
the family in going to aud from and
eating their meals, will be saved
There will be no roasting oyer tn,
kitchen stove, no trouble washing
dishes, no worry over varied bill
of fare, no agitation over broker
china, etc. A person will carry I
few food pills in his pocket. ant
when he grows hungry he will taxi
one and swallow his whole meal a
once. Perhaps.-l. Scientific I'm

A very unique election was held
in Mercersburg, Penn, the other day.
The question to be decided was
whether the COWS of the village were
to be allowed to run at large in the
streets during the coming year or
seek pasturage elsewhere. by a
special act of the Legislature the cit
liens Of that place are empowered
at every spring election to vote upon
the COW question, and the ballots
must be marked "For the cow" and
against the cow" there was a ma.
jority of twelve votes against the
COW.

VIZ take the following from the
Little Rock Democrat on the sub
icct Of Office seekers: 1t not un-
frequently happens that the man
who is too modest to push his claims
or too independent to beg for Office
is the very best material that could
be selected. If the people would
look a. the Offices as ST many trusts
to be exercised for their benefit and
not as so many livings to be bestow.
ed on the needy or the importunate,
we should soon see an Improvement
in the public service. Again: If
we could only persuade the people
that it is quite as necessary to scru-
TIME the characters and qualiiica-
tions of men who aspire to office, as
it is to look into the merits and
qualifications OF men who are EN-.
ployed as clerks, book.keepers, ac-
count4nts, etc, we should add much
to the efficiency of the office holding
class. But we seem to think it more
necessary to get "good fellow" in
Office or a man who needs the office
to support his family, than to secure
the services of men who are known
to have special fitness Tor public
station.

Lament passed a measure enamel
eating all the slaves of that empire.
The following is full text of the
law:
"Article /. From the date of this
law slavery in Brazil is declared
extinct.
Article II. Dispositions to the
contrary are revoked"
This destroys the last vestige OF
legalized human bondage on the
American continent. How much
better their way than ours. Yet we
believe that such an act twenty-five
years ago was impossible. We take
it that the world is growing rapidly
better, and that the humane idca will
