The centenary of the constitution
will be marked by three notable events :
an extension of the suffrage already
accomplished beyond the provision and
confidence of the older century the
opening TO women OF the ancient
schools Of learning, not quite upon
equal terms with men but upon certain
conditions whose performance will
wisely depend upon experience; and
the appearance of Mr.. Bryce's The
american Commonwealth. acomprehen-
sive and philosophical survey of the
political development Of the country
during the century Of its constitutional
existence. The first two must be count
ed among the most interesting signs of
the opening century, and the last. like
De Tocqueville's Democracy in Ameri
ca, as one Of the great treatises which
the progress of the American Republic
is certain to evoke from the most COM
petent political students and observers.

POSTS AND RAILS,

The weakest board or rail determines
the strength of the fence. Land in IA
square can be inclosed wi h less fence
than an equal area in any other iolm
bounded by straight iues.
The animals will certainly fnd the
weak spots but it is bad policy 70
have them show you where those spots
are.
The width of the fence row is a
large item in the cost OF fencing even
more important is what the fence row
grows.
Crops would suffer less from many
IA noxious insect or animal and its pro-
genv, were it not for the shelter Of
the hedge,or of the rubbish in the fence
row.
AS the posts are the fouIdation of
the fence, unless they are deepl and
soIidly set, good material and fine
workmanship i'll the superstructure
count for little.
Where the law is founded on the
good sense to require man 10 restrain
only his own animals, instead of all
the worlds from his fields, much less
fencing is required.

DISCOVERIES MADE BY ACCIDENT.
The Curious Way Certain Important Processes
Were Suggested
London Tid-Bits.

Valuable discoveries have been made,
and valuable inventions suggested, by
the veriest accidents. An alchemist ),
while seeking to discover o mixture
of earths that would make
the most durable crucibles, one day
found that he had made porcelain. The
power of lenses, as applied to the tele-
scope, was discovered by a watch
makers apprentice. While holding
spectacle glasses between his thumb and
finger he was startled at the suddenly
enlarged appearance of a neighboring
church spire. The art of etching upon
glass was discovered by a Nuremberg
glass-cutter. By accident few drops
of aqua forts fell upon his spectacles.
He noticed that the glass became cor
roded and softened where the acid had
touched it. That was hint enough He
drew figures upon glass with varnish, ap-
piled the corroding-fuid, then cut away
the glass around the drawing. When the
vaTnish was removed the figures appeared
raised upon dark ground.
MeZzotinto owed its invention to the
simple accident of the gun-barr of
sentry becoming rusty with dew. The
swaying to an fro of q chandelier in a
cathedral suggested to Calico the appli-
cation of a pendulum. The art of litho-
graphing was perfected through sug-
gestions made by accident. A poor
musician was curious to know whether
music could not be etched upon stone as
well as upon copper. After he had pre-
pared his slab his mother asked him to
make memorandum of such clothes as
she proposed to send away to be washed
Not having pen, ink and paper conven-
lent, he wrote the list on the stone with
the etching preparation, intending to
make copy of it at leisure. A few DAYS
later, when about to clean the stone, he
wondered what effect aqua forts would
have upon it. he applied the acid, and
in few minutes saw the writing stand
ing out in relief. The next stepnecessary
was simply to ink the stone and take off
an impression.
The shop of a Dublin tobacconist by the
name of Lundyfoot was destroyed by fire
While he was gazing dolefully into the
Smoldering ruins he noticed that his
poorer neighbors were gathering the snuff
from the canisterS. He tested the snuff
for himself, and discovered that the fire
had largely improved its pungency and
aroma. 1t was hint worth profting by.
He secured another shop, built lot of
ovens, subjected the snuff to a heating
process, gave the brand peculiar name
and in few years became rich through an
accident which he frst thought had com
pletely ruined him. The process of
whitening sugar was discovered in
curious way a hen that had gone
through a clay puddle went with her
muddy feet into a sugar house. She left
her tracks on a pile of sugar. 1t was
noticed that wherever her tracks were the
sugar was whitened. Experiments were
instituted, and the result was that white
clay came to be used in refining sugar
The origin Of blue-tinted paper came
about by mere slip Of the hand The
wife of William East, an English paper
maker, accidentally let blue bag fall
into one of the watts of pulp.

GENESIS APPLIED TO LIFE.
The Origin, Nature and Destiny of the Human
Boston Journal.

Boston Journal.
Professor s. P. Waite of Fort Edward
N. 7. :, whose lectures delivered in Bos-
ton last winter win be pleasantly reme1n-
bered by many, gave last evening at the
parlors of Mrs. L. H. German, at the
Hoffman house, talk preparatory to a
course of lectures to be delivered by him
the first Of which viii be given tonight
at the same place, on the Interpretation
of the first chapter of Genesis, as applied
to the different epochs of human history
and as experienced in the life of each in
diyidual. During the course he will treat
of the unfolding of the laws Of inyolu-
ton, throwing light upon the origin, ma
ture and destiny of the soul, and he will
bring within the reach of realization the
highest ideas of health, virtue and wis
dom entertained by the best of men at all
times. Professor Waite spoke substan-
tally as follows:
In Calculating the law of laws the great
mysteries of the scientific world are solved
and settled. The origin of man and his
evolution-the reason of the differences
in races, languages and religions; the
true nature Of the new birth and redemp-
ton, heaven and helI-are presented so
that the method Of God in the progressive
creation Of man is as easily understood as
the principle of any science. The diff
eulties attending the healing art are ex-
planned, and the way opened for the
avoidance as well as the curing Of dis
ease
The birth, nature and mission of Christ
are demonstrated to be the fulfillment of
all natural law, and the action Of the
overshadowing power of God is made
plain as the missing cauSative link which
makes science religion and religion seien-
tific. All the strings of men and nations
in the past are shown as an outwrought
expression Of the inworkings of the di
vine power preparing the foundation
broad and strong, in the physical, intel
lectual and moral natures of man for
that glorious superstructure, the
spiritual, which in the coming age
is to be formed The present oncom-
ing of the universal Christ in the souls of
men is shown as the way of redemption
of the race from the unfinished state, ex-
pressed in sickness and sin, poverty
crime and tribulatiOn Of mankind and
the reason why the name of Christ is
given a more prominent position than
that of Buddha, Confucius or Socrates is
not to further the idolatrous worship Of
the individual Jesus, but to demonstrate
the nature and method of that creative
wisdom and power of which he was the
exponent is an order and degree not made
known by any other soul. The characters
deifed by the ancients and millions of
human beings to-day were prepared to
convey intellectual truth and power to
the world, and nobly have they per-
formed their work. But the ordained
mission of Christ was to reveal laws of
another and still higher kingdom-the
spiritual-differing in kind from all other
states of consciousness. What have
heretofore been considered the mysteries
of His kingdom are treated as we would
deal with q problem in mathematics,
mechanics or chemistry.

Presidential Incomes.

Washington married rich widow and
left an estate worth $500 900, but John
Adams was not worth one
sixth OF that sum. Jeffer-
son died so poor that if congress
had not given him S23 ZOO for bis library
he would have been bankrupt. Madison
was economical, and yet left but a small
estate. Monroe died poor. John Quincy
Adams left $50 900, the result of pru-
dence. Jackson left a large landed es-
tate. Van Buren, died worth $500 600
1t is said that during his entire adminis-
tration he never drew any portion of his
salary, but on leaving took the whole
500 900 in a lump. Polk left $3.50 900.
Fillmore was always an economical man,
and added to his wealth by his last mar
riage. Pierce saved $50 900. Buchanan
left 5000 900, Lincoln SIS 900 and john
son $50 900. Grant, notwithstanding the
losses to which he was subjected, had a
handsome support in the fund provided
for him by his friends, and the sales of
his book enrich the family. Hayes is
said to be il a handsome financial con-
dition, and the Garfelds enjoy a liberal
pension and the income from a large
fund contributed by the public Cleye-
land viii no doubt save $50, 600 from his

French Marriage Laws.

An oft-repeated and oft-neglected
warming to English girls about to marry
Frenchmen is repeated in an English
Journal. 1t does not yet seem to be I'M
ierstood that, though woman may be
married to a Frenehman according to all
the forms of the English law, she is not
necessarily married in France. The
French law still requires that the absurd
and Anticipated form of asking the head
of tie bridegroom 5 family to consent to
a marriage shall be gone through, and if
this IS omitted the marriage is invalid. a
very sad case came under nay own cog
nizance recently. A young Frenchman,
visiting in this country became engaged
to a young English lady. Inquiries were
made, the gentleman's position and
prospects appeared satisfactory the affec-
ton was mutual, and the marriage was
iulv solsmnized in the parish church and
