Some Data About Socialism.

Socialism was known in ancient Rom
under the name of the Gracchian move
ment. It's tendencies were forgotte
during the Middle Ages, but were rt
vivcd and brought into general notice b
Noel Babeuf in 1894. His doctrine wa
'the equality of all French citizens bC
fore the law. That there shall be II
other differences but those of age an
sex. All men have nearly the same faC
ulties and the same needs; they ought
consequently, to have the same educatio
and the same food" Before this prime
pie the idea of personsal property disaI
peared, and it became the duty of Il
Government, its highest function, to res
ulate the application of labor, and to di
tribute its funds. After the doath ,
Babeuf, nothing was heard of his syste,
until 1884, when Buanorotti attemptt
its propagation. Vain attempts We
made in France on q small scale to carr
out the principles of Socialism under V
rious names, such as st. Simonianis
and Fourierism; but all resulted in ia,
ure. Socialism holds an intermedia'
position between pure Communism aI
simple cooperation. Unlike Comml
nism, it does not advocate the absolu
abolition of property, but aims simply
a more just and equitable distribution

How The RahY Grn1s.

In the last volume Of the Education
Series on the development of the In
telect," II. W. Brown has presented o
conspectus of the observations Of Pro-
fessor Preyer on the mind Of the child,
which shows chronologically the gradual
development of the senses, intellect and
will of the growing child, and presents
in n condensed form the result OF great
number Of careful observations. IL is re-
corded that sensibiiity to light, touch,
temperature, smell and taste are present
on the first day of infant life. Hearing,
therefore, is the only specicl sense which
is not active ut this time. The child
hears by the third or fourth day. Taste
and smell are senses at first most active,
but they are not differentiated. General
organic sensations of wcll-being or dis
comfort are felt from the first; but pain
and pleasure, as mental states, arc not
noted till at or near the second month.
The first sign of speech in the shape
of utterance of consonant sounds is heard
in the latter part of the second month,
these consonants being generally "m, "
''r," "g" or st." All the movements
of the eyes become coordinate by the
fourth month, and by this time the child
begins to have the "feeling of self
that is, he looks at his own hands and
looks at himself in the mirror. The
study Of the child's mind during the first
year shows conclusively that ideas de-
velop and reasoning processes occur be-
fore there is any knowledge Of words or
Of language; though it may he assumed
that the child thinks in SYMBOLS, visual
or auditory, which are clumsy equiva-
lents for words. BY the end of the year
the child begins to express itself by
sounds-that is, speech begins. The
development of this speech capacity is,
according to Preyer, in accordance with
the development Of the intellectual
powers. BY the end of the second year
the child's power Of speech ispractically
acquired. - Chicago Herald.

Snakes on the Egg shells.

A wonderful freak of nature, resulting
from the charming of hen by huge
rattlesnake, is reported by Major Schellcr
de Buol, who resides just south of this
city, on the line Of the Burlington road.
The Major states that he had occasion to
search for Il favoritc hen belonging to his
coop of rare fowls, and he found her
near pile of brush, trembling like n
leaf, and gazing with strained eyes and
neck transtixed Mt huge rattlesnake,
which lay coiled not four feet away, with
head and tail up, ready for his fatal
spring. Major dc Buol had n hoe in his
hand at the time, and lost no time in de-
spatching his snakeship. lie then at
tempted to "shew" the hen to the barn,
but she could not be made to stir, and he
accordingly picked her up and carried
her in his arms to the coop. The strang-
est thing about the incident above mar
rated is TINT for three successive days
thereafter the hen laid an egg, on the
large end of which was an exact repre-
sentation in miniature of the rattlesnake,
the fiat head, short, thick body and but
ton tail of this species Of reptile being
strikingly apparent. Otherwise the eggs
were perfectly formed and OF ordinary
size. The coils or representations of the
snake are raised a quarter of an inch from
the shell, aud are singulgrly formed on
the inside, showing conclusively that it
was the work of nature. The eggs were
brought to this city and presented to DIR.

Mending Extraordinary.

In these days stockings cost so little,
and time has become so valuable that it
pays better to replace the old with new as
soon as the former begins to show signs
of wear; and so, stocking mending has
nearly gone out of fashion. But there
are still situations where it may be nec-
essary. Listen to the ingenious way in
which n South American traveller con-
trivcd to mend his hose without taking u
stitch. In the Brazilian woods are guam
titles of tree called the 8Iangaba, the
milk or sap of which has many of the
properties of that of the true India rub
ber tree, and may some day be used in
its place. BY spreading some of this
thick milk ON piece of cloth slightly
larger than the area of the hole to be re-
paired, filling the stocking with sand or
sticking the prepared cloth over the hole,
and then coagulating the milk by the ad-
dtion of little acid, the rent place has
been rendered stronger than any other
part of the stocking, for it will never
come off. Clothes of all kinds, includ-
ing boots and rubber cloaks, are patched
in the same ready and serviceable way

The President OF France.

Says correspondent, speaking OF
President Carnot, of France; "He is
dressed with notable care. Good taste
as well as good tailoring characterizes
his shapely figure. The short coat in
closes a slim but compact figure. His legs,
as he strides spirited horse, are those Of
man of quick and easy digestion; there
is no suggestion of gout in the calves. His
face is a study in black and white. The
skin is pale, almost transparent. The
beard and mustache, both carefully
trimmed, are even. The nose, slightly
aquiline, would be Roman but for de-
cided Jewish cast which marks the entire
countenance."

ONE LITTLE wORo.

yTis but word in anger breathed,
Yet cutting like a lash,
One little moment spent i'm strife
One blighting lightning flash;
Yet for that word, through dreary years,
One shall regret with bitter tears.
Tomorrow morn she will return,
Tomorrow will pardon crave"
Tomorrow finds one grief-struck heart
And one cold form robed for the grave.
And memory, with his wild regret,
still haunts the one who would forget.

Communicated
Prohibition Oratory.

IF anv additional evidence of the futility
and stupidity of the prohibition fraud be
needed, it might be found in some of the
silly speeches concerning the Johnstown
food that have been made by Prohibitionist
orators here and there. One of these inter-
esting persouages in exchange for suppress
sion of the liquor traffic would welcome a
Johnstown calamity every month in the
of the cataclysm ''were drowned and went
to hell" So many of these fellows have
been talking and acting like fools that the
people have been led to the conclusion that
the policy which they advocate in regard to
the liquor traffic is foolish also. The Pro-
hibitionist speakers are the enemies not only
of true temperance. bu: of their own fanatl-
cal cause. MF
