Every effort should no doubt be made

Every effort should no doubt be made
to reduce the evils of the system.
Child labor should be forbidden. The
eight-hour law should be made COM
pulsory. But when all is done that
can be, the system will still be vicious.
There Is an item that suggests the pos
sibility Of a return TO home labor. The
following refers to the use of electric
ity as motive power for running
looms. If entirely successful, the
looms now run in factories could be
placed in the homes of the spinners
and run there at the convenience of the
household
The German papers think that
house industry could easily be made to
flourish by the transmission of electric
power, and this al the more rs elec-
tricity can be transmitted eqnally well
under any temperature. Further trials
IN this direction are being made also
with long-running dynamo machines,
without the use of the communication,
for some looms even without SHIFTING,
therefore, with direct impulsion of the
electric motor at the loom by friction
rollers. etc. j. Shearer, for Liberty
Bell.

There should be more leisure on the
farm. The farmer should have more
time to read and think. The farmer
and his family should have more Aime
to mingle in society. The farmers
children should have better chance
for an education. Why do they not
have these things? This is question
which every farmer should ask and
seek earnestly to have answered.

The evils from which the workers
suffer and the social and Industrial in
justices of which they SO rightly COM
plain, are all due to the operation of
bad laws or to the misuse of good laws
by corrupt or ignorant officials. Hence
the two important things for the
workers to do is, first, to wisely inform
themselves as to what bad laws exist
and how they may be best and most
speedily reformed, and, second, to
diligently set themselves to choose
honest and wise administrators of the

We live in an age of generous surprises
Nothing pans out as contemplated ID the
original-none can portend with the aid Of
the most ingenious divination the end Of
anything which depends upon the will or
decision of man. 1t always happens like
this: Behold, the mountain has labored
and brought forth mouse.
It never fails as an unvarying rule, that
to tell the truth on fellow traveller is the
thing that hurts-that makes the jaded gall
wince-while prevarication may rise like a
rocket, apparently to the armament, it falls
like a stick, is no more. Nature always
provides means adequate to the ends of life
and human economy; for instance, when
one swells to the bad eminence of self-ado-
ration, feels the ego, if it were possible for
him to continue swelling in pomposity to
suit the creature-thoughts of his own mind,
how colossus-like he would become; how
soon all else of the world beside (men)
would be crowded off the globe and sent
headlong flaming into the depths beyond.
But not SO, 'sin wisdom were all things
made" so it is arranged that the malady
shall rest in the head-"on the mind"
whats on the mind" all the phantasn,
all the visionary fabrlcS Of ones own indis-
possibility, this better than those mania,
leaves the frame the same diminutive size,
resulting, nevertheless, in the 'big head, !"
