Germany has experienced rapid transition in her principal ruler. Within three months the position of Emperor has been held by three per sons, father, son and grandson. The grandfather suceumbed by the weight St years; the son from a cancsrous af- lection of the throat, and now the cares of government rest upon the grandson, young man inexperienced in statescraft, and his accession to the throne has caused much apprehension to be felt throughout Europe. Tho present Emperor has a crippled arm, injured at his birth, and this fact re- wives the old tradition that the access sion of a cripple as Emperor of Ger many would end that dynasty.

The question of adopting bi-metal- ism is, according te the s. F. Mining and Scientific Press, receiving conSid- erabls attention ia England, and many leading fnanciers arc of the opinion that the restoration of silver az a rnonsta~y medium would relieve tue prevailing commei cial depression.
 That this will, however, be brought about in avery short tune seems now Highly probable. Concerned at the falling of Tn trade and the dulness in manufacturing and other branches of business, Royal Commission was seme time since appointed by the Government to inquire into the caus- es of such general decline and stagna- tion in these industries and interests This Commission, among other things, found the monometallic standard to which England had so long adhered, to be one of the factors in producing the wide spread depression complained of. This report led to the appoint msnt of special Commission, charged with the duty of ascertaining to what extent the denomination of silver had been instrumental in causing this un- toward condition of affairs, Bl-metal- tic leagues have been formed, also, in most of the large cities of England, composed of bankers, merchants and manufacturers, and including many members ot Parliament, their object being to bring about an agreement bstwson England, Germany, France and the United States for the restora- ton of the double standard.

CHOOSING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

The method, followed by both tho Democratic and Repubhean parties, of determining the representation that each State Snail have in a presidential nominating convention is radically wrong and unfair. Of ths 2l1 cleo teral votes necessary to elect, the Southern States are counted upon al- most with certainty to give 153 fer the Democratic candidates, and yet we find the Northern States, many of g.sm- -irretrieyably Republican, inva- riably naming the candidates and die tating the policy enunciated through the party platform.
 In the national conventions of tho Republicans the conditions are analo- gous, and to greater degree unjust, since in their conventions a majority only is necessary to choice, while the Democratic party has adhered te the much wiser plan of requiring a two thirds vote to nominate, which was first adopted in ths selection of Van BureH as vice presidential candidate, n 1882, and re-afiirmed Tn 1885.
 The Northern and Western States, ith the exception of New York, New srssy, Connecticut and Indiana, are sasonably sure to cast their electoral stes for the Republican candidates, ahils of the entire South no one State $ expected to desert the ranks of the Democratic phalanx. And yet the Southern States are accorded full rep rssentstien in Republican conventions, and ia the one now in session at Chi ago, the leading candidate, John herman, draws his chef support frem Southern delegations and it IS only through their adherence that his nom i4at,on is made possibility.
 The superintendent of delegates to each StatO in Republican and Demo cratic ooIysntieHs is determined ac- cerding to the States representation in Congress; two delegates are allotted to each congressional distnct and, in addition, four delegates at large to each State.
 Referring to the makeup of the late Democratic convention at St. Louis, va find that Pennsylvania had 60 representatives, Ohio 46, and 1ai- nois 44-three Republican States with 150 yctss in the convenient

People have no idea what a much
abused class Of workers are the drug
clerks. They have to spend years study
ing chemistry and other branches con-
nected with the pharmaceutical profess
sion, and after they go to work what do
they get9 The answer is-precious little.
Aside from the small compensation al
lowed us for our services, there are the
long hours and Sunday work. rarely
work less than thirteen hours day, and
am required to work even harder on the
seventh day of the week than the first.
Besides filling prescriptions and serving
customers with other articles in the line
carried by the trade, 1 am kept on the
run to the soda fountain. The drug
clerks generally have but really little
time to enjoy the good things Of this life,
and. after serving many years in the
business, can truthfully say that there
IS little in i. The salaries paid years
ago were better than now, but even then
it was not lucrative profession. The
cause Of the present low salaries is the
large accessions to the ranks of the medi-
cine mixers year after year. They are
being turned out Of the colleges of phar-
macy in droves every year, and when
beginning do not object to working for
low wages. Tho consequence of this is
that the salarics Of the old timers have to
come down, as the owners of the drug
stores do not care about paying moro
than they can avo;d.-Drug clerk in

Earth was not to the Egyptians what
it is to us-a globe carried safely through
srace by the laws Of gra:itation. Every
body. in Egypt knew that it was q fat,
oplong, quadrangular slab, more like the
upper board of a table than anything
they could imagine. 1t was surmounted
by fat, iron roof stretching at some
distance from it and supported by four
s:rong pillars, which prevented it from
falling and crushing what was under
rcat!,. Thus the world was like q two
s;orieel house, the various parts of which
might be connected, as they arc in our
houacs, by staircase or by q ladder.
The Egyptians supposed that there WAS
somewhere in the west tall ladder
which went up straight from earth to
lcarcn. Gods and goddesses watched it
day and night. Nobody was allowed to

Russian Priests and Monks.

Although the people are forever in
need of the services of the priest, they
pay him but poorly. For the highest
ceremonies he receives one or two roubles,
and for the smallest and most frequent q
few kopecks. The priest and the monk
being both poor. it is no uncommon
sight to see them bargaining for mar
riage or q hur;ai. and disputing the price
rs they dispute only in Russia. From
.iiat all sorts of anecdotes have sprung.
On one occasion it was priest, who, to
be revenged on father for his avarice,
gave the child ridiculous name at bap-
tisEl.
On another, peasant asked his min
lister for permission to get married in an
other parish. Very good" said the
priest, '.but have you calculated what
Your doing so will cost me2 Now, in
the first place l would have married you.
Well. that is so many roubles. Then,
you Will have children, say seven; that
would be seven baptisnls. Next, several
Of those children would die, say three;
that would be three b;yials in my pocket.
After that you would have sons Or
daughters to marry, say four; that would
be four marriages I should lose." Eyes,
that's very well counted up" replied the
mouiik; '.but you are already an old
man, and you might be dead long before
all that could happen" That's true"
returned the priest: 'we are all mortal,
and for that reason forbid you to leave
the parish, and 1 shall only ask you ten
roublas for Your marriage. STANLEY
