The wise and wholesome restraints
of parental love, of family ties, of
good government, of public opinion. and
even of social observances, are the best
possible preparations for that self-re-

true liberty is built

of its cultivation is clear; but it is not

So long as it is abundant it is not ex-

sometimes, running to seed unchecked,
it develops into rank njustice.-Once a

Practice and theory must go togeth-
or. Theory without practice to test it,
to verify it, to correct it, is idle specu-
lation; but practice without theory to
animate it is mere mechanism. In
every art and business theory is the soul
and practice of the body. The soul,
without the body in which to dwell, is,
indeed, only ghost, but the body with
put the soul is only a corpse.-N. Y.

If a man elects to mount the rounds

not keep low down if he wants to rise.

THE THEORY OF DEW.
All the Pretty Fancies of Poets Upset bv
Hard Facts.


Hard Facts.
1t is now held by the best physicians
that instead of falling from above the
dew arises from the earth. The gener-
Ally-received opinion that the dew is
formed of vapOr existing at the time in
the atmosphere must be given up for the
established fact that the vapor which
arises from the heated earth is trapped
by the cold surface earth. Besides, when
we imagine that on a cool evening after
sultry day in summer our feet are be-
ing wet by the dew on the grass, we make
q grave mistake. For that moisture on
the grass is not dew at all, it is false
dew-in reality the transpired humor of
the plants. The drops at the tips, which
glisten diamond like, are not dew; close
examination shows that these crystalline
spheres are all situated at the points
where the veins of the leaves cut the
outer edges. These drops only give evil
dence of the vitality of the plant
The difference between the true dew
on the grass and the exuded drops
through the veins from within the grass
can be easily distinguished, for the for
mer is distributed all over the blade in
a moist film; whereas the latter are OF
some size, and are situated near the tips
of the blade. Altered, then, is the
meaning of the line: ''Ilka blade O.
grass keeps it's ain drap O. dew" for
those brilliant globules on the petal,
shaking to the same sweet air, and
often gliding at once all fragrant into
one," are no dewdrops, but are eXuda-
lions of the healthy plants. They give
evidence of the elixir vitae OF vegeta
ton; whereas, the true dew is the
pearly mister, vanished in flmy hu-
Nudity over the blades by that Won
drous alchemy which transforms the
water vapor rising from the ground
into the plant refreshing dew.--Good
Words.

This is in the line with The policy of the
Republicans to make the Democrats fight
for the Mormons in their efforts to keep
Idaho out of the Union.
Senator Allen has introduced a bill to
authorize the Wan Department to make

speaking of rapid takers makes me
think of the time | was sent to report

the mayors private secretary, Tom

had always been able to keep pace
with every NAH had been assigned 20
take. So, with no mdsgivings, | sharp
sned my pencil, and took my seat at the
reporters table and waited for the dis
tinguished divine to begin. The subject
was Evolution" Shich in those days |
knew absolutely nothing about. Well,
be started in, and for a minute every
thing went all right. The second min
ate he took a squirt, and l found myself
pushing my pencil at high rate Of
speed. The third minute he put on more
steam, and 1 had to write so fast my
pencil got hot and came near setting the
paper aire. The fourth minute he
spurted again and 1 was lost. He kept
ON squirting until at last he struck his
gait. Heavens! how he talked. No
manuscript. No notes. He just stood
up there by his desk with one hand on
it, uthe other by his side. His mouth
was open, and without changing the
expression of his face or moving a
muscle the words came rolling out one
after another like drops oflead from the
summit of shot tower. ! did my best
to keep somewhere within sight of
him, hoping that at each word he
would pause long enough for breath to
allow me to catch up. Great Jove,
why doesn't he stop to take drink of
water?" | calculated. But he didn't
stop, and at times l hurled under my
breath some very bitter things. Well,
at last the thing was over, and, wiring
ing out my rspiration-soaked clothes,
went to the Office to write out my re-
port. | had a bundle of notes four
inches thick, but after l had finished
the three-minute lot l was at sea. In
stead of sub-heading his remarks, max
ing full notes occasionally which
would have enabled me to catch the
| drift of what he said, l had kept on
taking word here and there.
Well, l found that l had uncon-
sclouSly taken only the short ones, and
for clew to what the lecturer had dis
coursed on there was only mass of
it's hes She's 'ors,' ifs and 'ands,
and so on. Of course, could get moth
ing from them, and l was at loss what
to do. Had | been a new reporter l
would have gone to the city editor and
told him that had been stuck But l
was too old for that, and l was about to
go to him and resign my position when
a lucky thought struck me. | rushed to
the library, took down the encyclopedia
and turned to evolution 1t was too
late to make an abstract, SO / copied two
solid pages from the book and turned
in my copy. 1t was appropriately head
ed, and appeared next morning, meas
uring about the same amount as the
lecture, which more rapid writer's had
taken down all right for their papers.
l was afraid the city editor was going
to compliment me on my report, but he
evidently forgot it. And from that day
to this have never heard word about
! it."-Chicago Journal.

Parsley Butter; Beat three table
spoonfuls of butter to a cream and then
add one tablespoonful of lemon juice,
one OF chopped parsley, half teaspoon
full of salt, and one-eighth of a teaspoon
full of pepper. Beat these ingredients
into the butter, and it will be ready for
use. 1t is nice to spread on fried or

When intended for the latter, however,
half tablespoonful of lemon juice will
be enough.-Boston Herald.

ON RUSSIAN GROUND.

On the heights of Quebec there is

Tending. tie city. The field of Gettys-
burgh is covered with monuments in
honor OF the brave men who fought
there. some for, some against, the
Union.
A few wcolls aTo monument was In
auguratei near Moscow in honor OF the
French soldiers who fell in Russia dur
inc the invasion OF the country by Napo-
leon l.onapar5e in 1872 at the head Of
six hundred thousand troops. The sub
Iime 5..cliEye Of the capital by the Rus
SLAMS themselves, followed by the sud-
den and deadly cold Of November, de-
stroyed threefourths of the invading
army.
The monument erected to their men,
ory is a simple and modest one of three
granite blocks, five feet high in all,
adorned by the emblem of the Legion Of
Honor. and surmounted by an exceed
ingly beautiful cross in bronze and gold
1t was paid for by the numerous colony
of French people settled in Moscow, and
designed by one of their number, NJ.
Didio, noted architect.
The most agreeable circumstance
which attended the uncovering of the
monument was the friendly attendance
of Russians, one of whom was a staff
officer of high rank representing the
Car. The address of Inauguration, de-
!ivered by the French COnsul-General,
concluded with the following striking
passage:
..Seyentv-seven winters have covered
with white couch of snow this field OF
repose; seventy-seven times the spring
has restored to it its garb of verdure,
and vet that war appears to us in the OBJ
scure haze of antiquity, and if | were
not now on ground which recalls it to
my mind, could scarcely believe that
it had ever occurred.
MAY, then, the remembrance of it be
effaced from the minds of the two peO-
pies then arrayed against each other on
fields of battle, never enemies, to-day
reconciled and friendly. AS to you,
French soldiers, who have here slept so
long your last sleep, may the soil OF
Russia rest lightly upon you!"
The orator spoke the exact truth
when he said that the two people who
had met in battle array on Russian
ground had never been enemies. That
invasion of the soil of Russia was the
wanton, wicked action of one man
