Last Tuesday completed the first one
hundred years of the life of the repub-
lie of the United States of America.
One hundred years IN the life of an in
divldual is long time-in the life of
a nation it is but a day. The United
States as separate and distinct gov
crnmcnt is then in its infancy. Our
particular form Of government is as
yet only all experiment. Other rcpub-
lies had been established but they fell.
The trail of the past is strewn with the
futile efforts Of nations to maintain
self government. With all oar boast
of its stability. and glory in its great
ness. We must acknowledge the fact that
it has not been demonstrated beyond a
doubt that the United States govern
mcnt will s:ai.l the test OF time. True
it passed through to che severe test and
came ont Intact. Still that ordeal did
not try the strength Of our republican
institutions it only demonstrated that
the majority of the people Of these Uni
ted States WAS in favor Of Il centraliza-
ton OF power and opposed to slavery.
Had the sccecding states cutnumbered
i'll men and money, those remaining
loyal to the old flag there would have
been two republics within the present
boundaries of tho United States. The
civil war was not brought on in effort
to overthrow the republicanism Of tins
government. Both north and south
were equally loyal to that feature of
government. In the lite of an indi.
vilnal it is wellte take retrospective
view. At this first centennial mile post

forced IN all departments from pfesl-
dent down the question of the stabili-
ly of this government is forever settled.
The government will stand. Other re-
publics have risen and many have fall
len. Fallen because the government
was not by the people, of the people
and for ithe people, Whenever this
government fails to reach out its strong
arms in the protection Of its weakest
subjects-whefevcr the rights of the
masses are neglected or outraged, and
the government fails to interfere, it has
commenced. to crumble. This nation
must be a nation controlled and govern
ed BY, and for the purposes enunciatcd
by Lincoln or it will fall. At times it
seems that this government is gov
ernment by a few people, of a few peo-
pie, for few people, and those few
people the rich and influential. Capi-
tai is strong, labor is weak, capital will
take care of itself; but labor in its
hel2lcssncss must be protected by the
government. is all bosh to talk of
the dependency of capital upon labor.
Capital inactive can still live, labor in
active brings death. The modern COLI
centrat:on of vast capital TO push great
enterprises, creates monopoly, lnonop-
oily is a foe to free government. The
strikes of recent times are the lcgiti-

strikers are sometimes in error but
these demonstrations show clearly that
there is /. want of harmony OF cotnmu-

There is curious and widespread be.
lief that the whereabouts of drowned
man may be ascertained by floating a
loaf of bread down a stream, when it
will stop over the spot where the body is.
A curious account of body thus recov.
cred near Hull appeared some years
back in the Gentleman's Magazine.
"After diligent search had been made in
the river for the child, to no purpose, a
two-penny loaf, with quantity Of quick
silver put into it, was set floating from
the place where the child was supposed
to have fallen in, which steered it's
course down the river upward Of half a
mile, when, the body happening to lie on
the contrary side Of the river, the loaf
suddenly tackled about and swan across
the river and gradually sank near the
child. when both the child and the LOAF
were brought up with the grapplers
ready for the purposer" A correspon.
dent of Notes and Queries maintains
that it is scientific fact that a loaf and
quicksilver indicates the position of the
body, as the weighed loaf is carried by
the current just as the body is. This
practice, too, prevails on the continent
and in Germany the name Of the drowned
person is inscribed on the piece of bread
while in France loaves consecrated te
St. Nicholas, with a lighted wax taper
in them, have generally been employed
for that purpose. -[Scienti6c Press.

900 bushels of barley.
The glass industry depends largely
upon beer for prosperity. The st. Louis
brewery uses over 10000 bottles a
year. Yet this is only one of the five
largest 10 the United States, and the
number Of smaller ones run into the
thousands. There are twenty.seven in
San Francisco, which does not take high
rank as consumer of beer. The trust
which undertakes to absorb all thest
breweries, or enough of them to control
the price, will need large capital.
