INSIGHT.

On the river of life, as Hoat along,
l see with the spirits sight
That many nauseous weed Of wrong
Has root in seed OF right
For evil is good that has gone astray,
And sorrow is only blindness,
And the world is always under the sway
OF a changeless law OF kindness.
The commonest error truth can make
Is shouting its sweet voice hoarse,
And sin is only the souls mistake
In misdirecting its force.
And love, the fairest of all fair things
That ever to men descended,
Grows rank with nettles and poisonous things
Unless it is watched and tended
There could not be anything better than this
Old world in the way il began,
And though some matters have gone amiss
From the great original plan
And however dark the skies may appear,
And however souls may blunder,
| tell you it will all work out clear,
For good lies over and under
Ella Wheeler Wilcor.

What the Washington star regards as
long step toward democracy is en-
bodied in a resolution to be introduced
in the English House Of Lords, providing
that a peer of the realm shall have the
right to resign his place and stand for
election in the House of Commons. BY
this means the youthful and energetic
members of the oldest and most aristo-
cratic families OF England may be en-
abled to get from beneath the burden of
their birth and coming in touch with the
people lead on more speedily to that
democracy which must come, and which
will be the purer and better and safer
democracy if it have as its representatives
and leaders the best men of the nation,
regardless of the distinctions of birth and
class

A Physicians Comprehensive Rule.

An old physician, being once appealed
to for some general comprehensive rule
for the preservation Of good health, re-
piled. s'Keep clean" Cleanliness, from
a medical point of view, generally means
the absence of noXious germs. The laity
generally comprehend in the term free
dom from foreign substances, while the
psychologist and moralist have reference
to the purity Of the mind and soul. All
these combined would form the first
principle of good health. Freedom from
all filth with reference to the body and
its surroundings, freedom from contami-
nation of mind and soul, would make
the individual not only free from mate
rial pollutions but would inspire him
with sense Of cleanliness, a feeling Of
purity that would cleanse life and gloriiy
the consciousness Of living. There is a
meaning in the word "clean" that pcne
trates beyond things seen, and touchcs
the mental and spirital nature Of human
ity. Cleanliness in a material sense may
not abhor dissipations and debauchcs
which oppress life with a sense Of impu-
rity, vitiating the sources Of health and
impairing its enjoyment, "Keep clean
is an admonition carrying with it an in
spiration which not only invigorates life,
but makes it enjoyable and beautiful.
Cleanliness brings not only comfort and
health, but it adorns living, gives exist
ence a charm, imparts consciousness OF
life, real enjoyment, thought and feeling
Of existence, the purpose and sanctiy
of living, There is q world Of meaning
in the two words "keep clean. n--SaRi

The captain of vessel which arrived
at Baltimore recently, reports that when
off the Newfoundland Banks a phenom-
enon was witnessed which appeared to
be nothing more or less than rain OF
blood, covering decks, bridge, masts,
boats and every exposed part of his ship.
When it came down it was of dark
rich color like human blood, but it soon
dried up and assumed the color and con-
sistency of brick dust.

The Double CocOanut.

The Royal Botanic Society of England
has received for its museum a specimen Of
the double cocoanut, known also as coco
de mer. For hundreds Of years the ori-
gin-of these nuts was q mystery, for they
were never seen except when they were
washed up by the sea. They were sup
posed to have wonderful powers in the
way Of curing disease, and were the sub
iect of other supeTstitions until the
places where they grew was at last
discovered TO be the Seychelles, a small
group Of islands in the Indian Ocean.
Formerly they were worth their weight
in gold, and they are rare now.

When we study the progress of agri-
culture We find, says the New York
Times, most conspicuous illustrations of
the tendency of production to exceed the
demands of consumers. Corn, for in
stance, has increased in quantity far
ahead of the increase in population. In
1874 the area in this crop was Al, ,000,
600 acres; in 1856 it had grown to more
than 75, 600, 600 acres, an increase of IS
per cent. During these twelve years the
population increased only 36 per cent.
The same excess has occurred in the pro-
duction of cattle and hogs and the sala-
BILE products Of these staple agricultural
products. 1t is not difficult TO discover
the cause of this great and dispropor-
tionate increase. The extension Of rail-
roads in the great corn and cattle grow
ing regions has forced a vast increase in
the population, and has led to the eulti-
walton OF enormous areas and the pro-
ducdon of enormous crops and herds Of
cattle with the inevitable result Of de-
pressed values,
