Eastern Europe is like q powder
mine with the train ready for ignition
and it needs only the application of q
match to set off the explosion. Rus.
sia, Germany aud Austria have massed
enormous bodies of troops on their
frontiers. and in many instances the
camps of armies that may at any mo.
ment become hostile are in sight OF
each other. A friend in Moscow writes
me that war is looked for before the
seed is planted for the crops of the com
ing season, and it is understood in mil
tary circles. throughout Russia that
when war comes twill be no chlld's
play. There is great discomfort
throughout Russia, and it Is largely for
this reason that the czar desires war
with foreign power as it viii tend to
consolidate the people by turning their
attention to the frontiers rather than to
domestic matters. Then, too, it is the
desire of the czar to push the Russian
boundaries nearer to Constantlnople, q
change of the map which Austria is de-
termine to prevent at all hazards.
Germany looks unkindly upon any
advance of Russia, and hence the mass
ing of troops on the Eastern frontier to
check any possible aggression on the
part ofthe Muscovite. Briefly it may
be said that the whole of Europe is a
vast military camp; one-half the able
bodied population is under arms and
must be supported by the other half,
who are thus kept in o condition OF

The Roman Catholic policy in China
is another disturbing element and has
contributed in no small degree to bring
about the present state of affairs:
The Catholics seek to obtain control
of large business properties along the
river fronts and in the most desirable
locations for foreign trade in the open
ports; as for example, at Wuhu and
Chinkiang, where Chinese merchants
are obliged to pay them many thou
sands of dollars annuallyfor rent.
At one of these ports they
own the greater part of the
river front, and even the Chinese I'M
perial Customs are compelled to rent
their offices from them. Such busi-
ness by no means accords with the
work Of missionary. Where their
buildings are attacked and burned,
they secure large indemnites from the
governments, new buildings are erec-
ted and the program is repeated. Then,
the Chinese have never fogotten their
old enmity against the Catholics OF
200 years ago, when the attempt was
made to force Romanism on the people
BY bitter persecution, and the Jesuits
also tried to play the same political role
which they attempted in Japan, which
led to their expulsion from both coun-
tries. 1t viii readily be seeL that
when the mob becomes excited,
it does not discriminate between Cath
olics and protestant, but all missions
and missionaries are made to suffer
alike.

From Daily Life.

A mother sat with her little girl in
her arms returning from one OF the
pleasure resorts near this city. The
child wanted something it could not
have, and upon being denied set up a
wall that the mother could not ap-
pease. She kissed the little thing
weakly, and tried to soothe it receiv-
ing in return spiteful slaps from the
little hands in her face, on her head,
every where within reach of her
hands. One knew not which to pity
most the child committed to the guild
ance of so weak a mother, or the
mother responsible for the governance
of n spoiled and stubborn child:
In the seat next to her sat another
mother with her baby fast asleep, and
the two mothers talked. Said the
latter:
"He goes to sleep at seven O'Clock
every night. I began that way with
him."
"But wont he wake up when you
undress nim?"
"I shan't undress him till he wakes
up" was the reply.
my little girl" said mother mum
ber one," never goes 10 sleep pelore
uine o'clock she won't"
"What time does your little boy
wake up in the morning?"
"Half past five"
"My little girl sleeps till seven OF
eight. Do you put your baby in the
tub every day ?"
Eyes, I never omit it; they say j
makes them hardy to oin the tut
every day ?"
my little girl don't like the bath
tub; / wash her every day, but she's
so stubborn"
"Does she cry like that often ?" ,,
80, yes I can't do any thing witt
her when she gets to crying" and th'
wailing went on till sleep came at last
to every body's relief.

Gigantic Lens.

A telegram from Boston, Massachu,
sets, September 10, says:
"a most distinguished assem-
blage of mathematicians and scientists
gathered around q plain packing box
in Cambridge to-day to look at a piece
of glass. 1t was ten feet i'll circum'
ference and some three inches thick
but as it lay in it's bed Of excelsior its
value exceeded $GO,OOO, and the spec
tators regarded it with the greatest
affection.
"The place was the office of Alvan
Clark, the famous telescope maker
and the glass was the lens for the new
telescope to be erected on Wilson
Peak, in the Sierra Madre Mountain,
near Los Angeles, 5000 feet above the
sea, for the University of Southern
California. 1t will be the largest tele.
score in the world, the object glass be-
ing three feet and four inches in diam
eter, or five inches more than the fa-
nous Lick telescope. The tube will
be sixty-five feet long and the moon
will be brought by it within 100 miles
of the earth. The whole is the gift OF
E. f. Spence, President of the First
National Bank Of Los Angeles. The
glass was cast in Paris after no less
than 100 attempts, and is insured for
its full value in twoBoston companies.
1T will take fully two years yet to
to grind and polish it to the required
focus, and when, TO all appearances
complete, the human fingers will be
called into play to finish its surface.
1t is ground down with red oxide OF
iron and polished with beeswaX.
"Among those bresent were a
member of the faculty of the
California University, Yale, Johns
Hopkins. and other institutions.
Wien in position the telescope is
expected to. perform wonders. 1t will
also have Photographic outfit, which
will he three times larger than any
now in existence. 1t will cost $4,000
alone to transport the glass to Los
Angeles"

A Lawyer Outwitted.

timony, and after asking him what
was his name, proceeded:
"You are builder, believer"
"NO, sir, / am not a builper; I am
an architect"
"They are much the same, T sup.
posew
II beg your pardon, sir; I cannot
admit that; 1 consider them to be
totally different"
80, indeed! perhape you will state
wherein this great difference ex'
ists?"
IAN architect, sir, conceives the
design, prepares the plan, draws out
the specifications-in short, supplies
the mind; the builder is merely the
bricklayer or the carpenter. The
builder, in fact, is the architect, the
power that puts the machine tOgeth-
er; and sets it going
"Oh, very well, Mr.. Architect,
that will do. And now, after your
ingenious distinction without Il
difference, perhaps you can inform the
court who was the architect of the
Tower Of Babel ?"
The reply for promptness and wit is
not to be rivalak in the whole history
of rejoinder: '"rhere was no architect,
sir, and hence the confusion"

I have been keeping it,"

"Mary Had O Little Lamb"

Most of our young readers will be
surprised to hear that the well known
NURSERY song, Mary had little
lamb" is true story, and that Mary
is still living. About seventy years
ago, she was little girl, the daughter
of farmer in Worcester County,
Mass. She was very fond of going
with her father to the fields to see the
sheep and one day they found a baby
lamb which they thought was dead.
Kind hearted little Mary, however,
lifted it up in her arms; and, as it
seemed to breathe. she carried it home,
made it warm bed near the stove,
and nursed it tenderly. Great was
her delight, when, after weeks of care
full feeding and watching, her little
patient began to grow well and strong
and, soon after, it was able to run
about. One day, it followed her to
the village school; and, not knowing
what else to do with it, she put it
under her desk, and covered it with
her shawl. There it stayed until
Mary was called up to the teachers
desk to say her lesson; and then the
lamb walked quietly after her,-and
the cflluTen UuTSI ouI lduS SlluS. too
the teacher had to shut the pet in the
wood shed until school was out.
Soon after this, young student
named John Rol.stone wrote little
poem about Mary and her lamb, and
presented it to her. The lamb grew tC
be sheep, and lived for many years
and, when at last it died, Mary griev'
so much for it that her mother took
some of its wool, which was as
white as snow,n and knit pair OF
stockings for her to wear in remem
brance of her darling. Some years
after the lambs death, Mrs. Sarah
Hale, O celebrated woman, who wrote
books, composed some verses about
Mary's lamb, and added them tc
those written by John Rollstone
making the complete poem as we
know it.
Mary took such good care of the
stockings made Of the lambs fleece
that, when she was q grown-up wom
an, she gave one of them to a church
fair in Boston. AS soon as it was
known that the stocking was made
from the fleece of" Mary's little lamb,
every one wanted piece of it. SO the
stocking was raveled out, and the
vain cut into short pieces. Eacf
piece was tied to card on which
"Mary" wrote her full name; anC
they sold so well that they brough
the large sum of $l40 in the old Soutf
Church.

give Thy Horse His Head"

"a few weeks ago, the horses were
drawing each load of Goals up rising
ground in the surburbs of our city.
The hinder horse had the bearing rein
swung loosely on his neck, and tie
animal was hanging his head forward
and by throwing his weight into the
collar, and was dragging his load stead
lily and without undue strain on his
muscles and joints. The foremost
horse, viii his ton of Goals, was braced
up with tight bearing rein, his head
cramped and raised, his mouth fretted
and every joint and muscles starting
and strained at each step he took. The
two men were talking to each other
and the carter of the hinder horse was
heard to say, Bill, go and give thy
horse his head; hell pull that load
easier Bill went and slackened the
bearing rein. Give him more said
the other. Bill went and give him
all he wanted. Thehorse Immediately
did his work in a way which con-
veyed the relief he felt as clearly as il
he had said, Thank you to every
one who has charge of draught horse

horse his head ; he'll pull that load
easier. '"-Our Dumb Animals.

Under the head of "Gunpowder and
Grog,n the Sydney (Australia) Presby'
terrain asks its American exchanges to
give prominence in their pages Tor
few weeks to this one sentence: "Be'
cause America alone of all nations re-
fuses to lay OH her traders in the South
Seas a restriction which other nations
are willing to impose on their traders,
the islands of the Pacific are being de.
vastated by gunpowder and grog.',
The meaning of this emphatic request
will appear from the following extracts
from the Presbyterian's article: by
British law British subjects are forbid:
den, under penalties, to sell spirits, anu
firearms to the natives or ISLANDS III
the Pacific where there are no settleu
government. But French, Germans,
Americans, and traders OF all other ma"
tions may sell to the natives rs much
fusel oil and as many Brummagem
muskets as they can get value Tor
from the igronant savages. .
Pressure has been
brought to bear OH the French and Ger
man Governments to join in prohibit
ing the sale in the islands of destruc-
ton. Both governments have pro-
fessed their Willingness to do so, but
on one condition-that all nations
represented by traders in the Southern
seas should enter into the same agree
ment. There is practically only one
other nation whose consent IS necessa-
nv. and that is America. The smaller
obstructives could be summarily dea!th
with. 1t is affirmed that America
alone hinders the British prohlbltory
law from becoming universal IN the
Pacific" If any American can read
these statements without a blush OF
he can do no more than we can.

A Soldiers Confession.

There was Russian, soldier in
one of the Petersburg regiments, and
there was Yorkshire man, soldier
of my regiment, and myself. The
Russian had never been q free man
he was O serf before he became a
soldier. I had been free enough by
BIRTH. but 1 had sold myself into
bondage. There we were, two
bondsmen, white slayes, Russ and
Englishmen, foot to foot and face in
the dark misty morning at Inkerman,
all alone, separated from our COM
rades, grasping empty but bayoneted
muskets. 1 tell you in that red
Russian face, under that flat cap, /
saw the face of my fellow-man, my
brotherin Adam and by the look in
his large grey eyes, and by the way in
which his lips opened round his big
teeth, / could tell that the Russian
didn't want to kill me or anybody.
He was a mild, simple-looking man,
and I had no more heart to kill him
than should have to butcher our
goud horse Dobbin, Fat home. Butll
was soldier; my masters had bought
me, and bought me to kill Russians.
L was a numbering machine, and /
must work. l heard the English
shouting as they drove the Russians
down the hill, and I clubbed my
musket and struck my Russian
down. My foot on his breast, my
gun seemed to lift itself; next minute
down it came with Il hud, and the
poor fellow died, his mouth spouting
blood, my bayonet fixed fast in his
luUg.
Nobody can hang me for it l know,
but | tell YOU killing that man was
murder! and the guilt of it will black
en- my soul till die.-English Tract.

Public Morals.

Although the election in Louisiana
to determine the lottery question does
not take place until April of next year,
the canvass for votes has already y be-
gun. and the contest promises to be eX-
ceedingly bitter. On the one side are
those gamblers with strong personal
interest in the continuance of a pernl-
cious legalized device for robbing the
poor and illiterate; on the other
hand, moral men and women, who
the lottery as evil, not so much to
themselves as to others.
The lottery people propose to
amend the State Constitution so as TO
permit the granting of new charter
the Legislature not being able to ex'
tend the present charter of the lottery
company beyond 1895. From the
nature Of their business they may be
expected to be unscrupulous in the
means they employ to carry, the cleo
tions; but there is strong pubic sentl,
ment against them, and the leaders Oh
the opposition appear to be less de-
termined to rid the State of this dis
grace. The people are tempted to vote
for the amendment because of the
large revenues the State may derive
from the lottery, and their opponents
propose to checkmate them there by
getting Congress to refuse leyee appro-
priations to States that undertake to
provide for their own levees by lotter-
les.
There should be no difficulty in getting
Northern Congressman to support this
measure, for it is really founded on 8
principle of fairness. The whole ma
ton is taxed indirectly by the Louis:
lana Lottery; if that is to be continued
let the direct taxation represented in
appropriations he suspended.-Phila'

Against Consumption.

In circulor on precautions against
consumption, published by the State
Board of Health Of Pennsylvania, the
following advice is given: 1.-The
duster, and especially that potent dis
tributor of germs, the feather duster,
should never be used in q room habi t
ually occupied by consumptive. The
floor, woodwork, and furniture should
be wiped with a damp cloth. The
patients clothing should be kept by
itself, and thoroughly boiled when
washed. 1t need hardly said that the
room shold be ventilated as thorough
ly as is consistent with the mainte-
nance ofa proper temerature."
