Subjects For Thought.

Men show their character in nothing
more surely than in what they think
Imaginable.
Women go further in love than most
men do but men go further in friend
snip than women.
AS we truly are only as far as God is
with us, so neither can we truly possess
THAT is, enjoy our being or any other
real good but by living in the sense of
of his holy presence.
Opportunity is in respect to time, in
some sense, as time is in respect to eter-
| nifty it is the small moment, the exact
point, the critical minute, on which ev-
cry good work SO much depends.
We hear it said sometimes that this is
an age of transition, as if that made
matters clearer; but can anyone point
us to an age that was not? If he could
he would show us an age of stagnation.
There is something sublime in calm
endurance, something sublime in the
resolute, fixed purpose of suffering with
out complaining, which makes disapoint-
ment oftentimes better than success.
Our value, such as it is, remains want
ing to our community, and, when it's
crisis of trial shall come, we shall not
have been trained by watchful expert
ence to understand either their cause or
their remedy.
| Life is achievment, and truth does its
work only under that conception. If
life were not this, that is, a process of
achievement, there would have been no
occasion for real world; an existence
OF mere ideas or perceptions, or of pure
mind without body or world, would have
answered as we'll.
Some absorbing employment on your
higher ground-your upland farm
whittier no cartpath leads, but where
you mount alone with your hoe, where
the life everlasting grows; there you
raise a crop which needs not to be
brought down into the valley to a mar
ket which you barter for heavenly pro-
! duets.
] Love begets love. 1t is a process of
induction. Put piece of iron in the
presence of an electrified body, and that
| piece of iron for time becomes electri>
fed. 1t is changed into a temporary
magnet in the mere presence of perma-
nent magnet, and SO long as you leave
the two side by side they are both mag
nets alike.
Four vessels are now building for the
Government which are to be mrde I'M
sinkable by having between the outer
shell of iron and the inner shell of wood
a lining of celluiose five feet wide. This
cellulose is made of the fibre of cocoanut
husl2s.

The Locomotive to be Abolished.

Iu0 LCCOmOClV0 To Do ADCAlSA0O'
The public being much interested in
Mr.. Edisons invention for the propul-
sion of railway trains and street cars by
means of electricity, 1.-THE Wizard has
been SO good as to explain more fully to
a New York Herald reporter his meth
DDS, plans and expectations. He sticks
to it that he can with his new device run
railway trains at speed of 100 miles an
hour. He asserts, indeed, that 200 miles
an hour is a practicable speed, but with
100>pound rail ON rock ballasted track
there will be no difficulty or danger at
all in going at a hundred>mile rate
Air brakes would stop trains. Collisions
would be rarer than now for the reason
that the use of electricity would senable
the controlling mind at some central
point Of 8 railway system to locate every
train, and thus secure the benefits of an
efficient block system. ''Three stations
airy engines, with a horsepower of 10000
or 1000 each, would run, says Mr.. Edi-
son, sthe whole Pennsylvania railroad
system between here Ogden, New Jersey
and Philadelphia-fre local, express
trains, and ALL" Not only SO, but at a
great reduction of expense. The sta
tionary engine would consume for each
horsepower two pounds of cheap bitu-
minous Goals, whereas locomotives burn
tsix pounds of expensive anthracite.
Eewer men would be required. One
man to keep lookout and mind the air
brake would take the place of engineer
and two firemen. Then, too, with cleo
tricity the smooth, rotary motion of the
electric motor is substituted for the ex-
reciprocating motion of the locomotive,
with the result of minimizing strains.
my electric motor says the inventor,
in effect, will displace the locomotive
on railroads because it is cheaper" AS
to the details of his new invention Mr..
Edison is reticent, ''for fear of injuring
patent rights in Europe" but this mnch
he reveals-that in displacing the loco-
motives he will use central rail between
the tracks. The current will pass from
GIC SldtiU1eiTy tASlAc W q CCutldl Iehlif
thence through the motor attached to
the bottom of the cars, and thence to
the wheels and back by the side rails to
the stationary engine. For freight
trains separate motor would be used.
The new era of railroading will begin
with trains run between Chicago and
Milwaukee during the Worlds Fair. Mr..
Henry Willard has taxed the matter up,
and will run a train, say OF two cars,
between the cities named every twenty
minutes. AS the locomotives on the
great Northern Pacific wear out they
will perhaps be replaced by electric mo-
tors, SO that that extensive system will
ultimately be without a locomotive
The electric motor and the steam motor
can be used together on the same track,
so that the substitution of one for the
other will be gradual.

consumption without recourse to the
French cOjOnipS

consumption without recourse to the
French colonies.
In 1880 the average annual consump-
ton of sugar in France per each person
was about two pounds, of which the
beet-sugar manufacture produced about
nine per cent.
In 1865 the average consumption was
fourteen pounds per each person, the
beet sugar manufacture supplying sufli
cient for that amount.
The rapid growth and development of
this industry throughout Europe forms
one of the most interesting spectacles OF
the present century, and the economic,
social, and Industrial questions to which
it he's given rise have attracted the at
tention and monopolized the labors OF
the leading minds of the countries In
which it has been established. The beet
has found its supporters and adherents
in the cabinets of kings, the academies
of science, in agricultural societies and
farmers clubs, in the machine shop,
and in the peasants cottage. No other
industry of modern times has SO success
fully harmonized the agricultural and
manufacturing interests, which have
heretofore been regarded as inimical to
each other, or has originated and sup
ported SO many subservient and minor
interests. The manufacture of sugar
has been established and successfully car
ried ON in Prussia, Austria, Russia, Hol-
land, the Zollverein, Belgium, Poland,
and Sweden. The total amount of
sugar produced in these countries and
in France is six hundred and thirty
thousand tons per annum. Except in
the seaboard towns of France none 9th
er than beet sugar is used; the same is
true also of Germany. None but beet
sugar is consumed in Paris. Vienna, Ber-
lin, Dresden, Leipsic and Munich.

For none but such could digger"
Out majority against the Niger
And beat their $50 with our ITO.
To give the State to the white man
This certainly is the right plan
The constitution, we believe, will
accomplish this end.
When that big black majority
Rolls back in the minority
Then like hell, bows, we beat them
with our 10.
There's craftsmanship and wisdom
In this Australian ballot system
IT'S assuredly our peoples best
friend.
White voters this will not debase YOU
But on higher plane will place you
When we come in on the home
stretch with our ITO.
Soc in this constitutional convention

We noticed that an exchange was
talking only the other day about the
danger OF ovcrprouuction of wool IN
the United States. This must be in
the nature Of n joke, when we CON-
slider that our annual import of wool
for ten years past hus averaged near
ly 10000, 900 pounds. There Is
room for the wool growers yet, and
80, by tho way, ia there also for tho
growers of good mutton. Do not
get shaky ON the sheep question
but 60 rlgnt ahead and stock up with
the best animals yon can obtain.
Shropshirss and Dorsets, we may
say, are taking front place just now
in popular favor.
