States are not reputed warlike
people, but it is surprising how easily
the war spirit is kindled. Every lit
tie misunderstanding between this
country and foreign nations is at
once magnihed into cause for war.
1t would be interesting to know how
many times the latent war element
has been aroused during the past
sixty years; some slight insult by
foreign power, most generally unin
territorial, has fired the hearts of
multitudes for war: too impatient to
wait for explanations, the voice has
gone for the eve must fight" Yes,
to fight, is the remedy for the restor-
alton of right, which have been in
suited. If the past half century had
been barbarous era in this coun
try, and the principal governments of
Europe, there might be some apollo
gy for this propensity to fight. The
Samoan trouble which has occupied
SO large a space in the papers, has
been the occasion of a vast amount
of war talk. The facts relating to
this trouble cannot be intelligently
stated in few words; they are some
what complicated, yet for all that,
there are found those whose "voice
is for war" they do not know wheth
er the Samoan islands are in the vi
cinity of Africa or South America;
and much less do they know any
thing of what the dispute is about
fortunately we have clear-headed
statesmen, who look upon matters of
this kind calmly, and who prevent
any precipitate measures from being
taken. Senator Sherman in the
United States Senate last week, gave
an explanation of the condition of
the Samoan islands, and of the treat
les with this country, England and
Germany. The Senator explained
that there is no occasion to talk of
war, and all that is needed, is straight
forward negotiations to adjust exist
ing differences. The Senator justly
says, cit would be shame and dis
grace to our civilization and christi
anity, if we would not agree upon
some mode Of government for the
Samoan islands," Other Senators,
whose long experience is relied upon
for sound judgment, express like
sentiments. Our wlsest statesmen
have for years past expressed the
sentiment, that war is barbarlsm,
and that in this christian age there
can hardly be a possible cause for
war between civilized nations. Diff
ferences between this country and
European powers can be amicably
and justly settled by peaceable meas
ures A congress of nations for the
adjustment of differences between
this country and foreign powers, be-
gan to be considered over quarter

tween all the governments on the
American continent, providing for
the adjustment of conflicting inter.
ests between the different govern.

Women as Inventors.

Up to December H. 1886, there had
been granted to women by the United
States letters patent for 1,935 inven.
tions. This is doubtless a good many
more patents than the public had
thought had been granted to women;
yet there really should have been more,
and there would have been il women
would think more. But then to do
that they would have to talk less,
which could not be thought OF for a
moment! Seriously, the household
and other branches OF womcn's work
furnish large field fer the exercise OF
their inventive genius, and it begins to
look as though they would work it
better in the future than they have in
the past. Neither should it be over
looked that they have invented many
useful things that have never seen the
Patent Office, and of which the world
has never heard. Woman is not in the
habit of proclaiming her achievements
with the blare of trumpets.

mature cat which is forbidden, not to |

mature cat which is forbidden, not to
say awe-inspiring. 1t may be that its
uncanny nature has caused it to be
associated with witches. Certain
ly its habit at being out at
all hours OF the night gives
color to the suspicion that it is q
baleful beast. A cat acts as if it knew
that the disclosure of Its secrets would
result in death to all it's kind at the
hands Of an enraged humanity. Now
there is something frank and open
hearted about dog. He may bite an
enemy, but cat will scratch its dear
est friend. A dog can not keep a secret.
A cat never tells one. The normal dog
is undoubtedly a sane creature, and
this is proved by the fact that now and
again one goes. mad. They have to go
mad, don't you see? Now, reasoning
on that basis, a cat must be normally,
insane, if paradox be permitted A
dog growls when he is angry and wags
his tail when he is pleased. A cat, on
the contrary, growls, when she is
pleased and wags her tail in anger.
Others have noted this fact before, but
the great mass of mankind have ignor-
ed it, absorbed in the strife for exist
ence. 1t behoves us to inquire if it be
safe to allow existence to creatures
whose simplest acts are done in such II
way as to arouse suspicion of their
sanity.-Chicago Mail.

Large Telescopes.

In an item in .hp Press recently,
mention was made among tho nine re-
fracting telescopes exceeding 90 Inches
in aperture, one ut buckingham Pa,-
ace, London, England Mr.. w. Is.
Murdock of this city calls our atten-
ton to the fact that this is an error, as
the instrument referred 10 belongs to
james Buckingham OF London, former
ly of the Council OF tho Royal Astro-
nomical Society. Mr.. Murdock says:
Having named this self-educated man
of science, embrace the opportunity
OF saying that he not only rnade the
telescope at his own expense In pur.
suit OF his favorite study, but it may
be added that he did the mechanical
work, all but the casting OF the glsss,
with his own hand, at time when
these large glasses were rarsr than
now. How much that means Is known
best to those who know the difficulties
attending the polishing of large discs.
The tube OF that telescope is So feet
long, or Sg with the dew-cap on. II
is not only n large instrument, but one
of the finest in the world. ."-HtninJ

grapher, and George T. Davis, each
drew S15, 900, on onc-twcntioth tickets
OF 1882, which drew the capital prize
of s300,o 900. Mr.. Dickson about six
months ago drew $500 on dollar
ticket. He has not decided what TO do
with the fortune he has just had given
him.
Mr.. Davis was seen by Sun re-
porter Wednesday. He received sl5.-
300 by the Southern Express Co. lie
is iifty-two years OF age, and Is trans
fer foreman OF the Wabash Road. This
was his third dollar investment in the
lottery, and he feels much clatcd over
his success. He has not decided what
he will do with the money. Three rel.
ativcs died during the past year leav-
ing him an aggregate OF $4,000, so
that now he is rich. He considers the
lottery company the squnrest corpora
tion on earth and will invest ngain.

Aconaueror Conquered.

In southern archipelagocs he'd fought the
bloody cannibal;
He'd skinned and tanned tho crocodile, and
found him very tannable;
Not word of fear he'd uttered, not word
and not syllable,
When he Killed the Bengal tiger, and he
found him very killablc.
He claimed his strength was very great, for
bears and lions suitable;
He used to boot the grizzly bear, and found
him very b0otablc.
He claimed in killing monstrous snakes that
he was very capable;
No boa constructor could escape, for he was
unacceptable
In fighting hippopotami he said he was in
yinciblc;
No jaguar conld make him vince, because
be wasn't winceaDle;
He made the ramping elephant no longer
recognizable,
And pulverized the roaring bull, and found
him pulverizable.
Just then his wife came in and said, 'rd

The way she took him by the car will make

She pulled him out and led him home, and
found him very leadable.

Catholic priest at Amherstburg, Ont.

Origin of the Shot Tower.

There was once mechanic at Bris-
tol Eng, whose name was Watts.
He was by trade shotmaker. Watts
had to take great bars of lead and
pound them out into sheets OF thick
ness about equal to the diameter OF
shot he desired to make. Then he cut
the sheets into cubes, which he rolled
in n revolving barrel until the corners
were worn of from constant friction.
The Chicago Mail thus relates the res:
OF the story: Watts. after IN evening
spent with some jolly companions nj
the alehousc, went home and turned
into bed. He dreamed he was out
again with the .'boys." They were all
trying TO find their way home when II
began to rain shot Beautiful globulcs
Of lead, polished and shining, fell in n
terrent. In the morning. when Watts
arose. he remembered the dream, and
wondered what shape molten lead
would take in falling distance
through the air. At last he carried II
ladlefull OF hot metal up into tho stcc-
pie of the Church of St, Mary, OF Red
clifre, and dropped it into the moat be-
low. Descending, he took from the
bottom OF the shallow pool several
handfuls OF perfect shot, far superior
to any he had ever seen, Watts for
tune was made, for he had conceived
heidea of the shot-towcr, which has
ever since been the only means EN-
ploycd in the manufacture of the little
missiles SO much used in war and
sport.

Coffee and its Effects.

The great virtue of coffee is that it
stimulates and refreshes, those prop
critics being due to caffeine. 1t also
contains gum and sugar, fat. acids,
casein and wood fiber. Like tea, 1t
powerfully increases the respiration,
but, unlike it, does not affect its depth.
By its use the rate of the pulse in in
creased and the action OF the skin dim
inished. 1t lessons the amount Of
blood sent to the organs OF the body,
distends tiie veins and contracts the
capillaries, thus preventing waste OF
tissue. 1t is mental stimulus Of q
high order and one that is liable to
great abuse. Carried to excess, it pro-
auees aonormal wakefulness, indiges-
ton, aeidity, heartburn, tremors, de-
bility ,irritabitity OF temper, trembling,
irregular pulse, n kind OF intoXication
ending in delirium and great injury TO
the spinal functions. Unfortunately
there are many coffee-tipplers who de-
pend upon it as drunkard upon his
drain. On the other hand, coffee is
sovereign efficacy in tiding over the
nervous system In emergencies. Cof-
fee is also; in its place, an excellent
medicine. In typhoid fever It's action
is frequently prompt and decisive. 1t
is indicated in the early stages before
local complications arise. Coffee dis
pels stupor and lethargy, is an anti
dote to many kinds OF poison, and Is
valuable in spasmodic asthma, whoop-
ing cough, cholera infantum and Asia
tic cholora. 1t is also excellent as II
preventive against infectious and cpl
demic diseases. In districts rife with
malaria and fever, the drinking OF hot
coffee before passing into the open air
has enabled persons living in ouch
places to escape contagion.
