WE all have two lives, gliding on at
the same time, scarcely connected with
each other-the life of our minds; the
external and the inward history; the
movements of the frame-the deep and
ever restless workings of the heart
They who have loved know there is a
diary of the affections which we might
keep for years without having occasion
even to touch upon the exterior surface
of life, our busy operations, the me
chanicai progress of our existence; yet
by the last we are judged the first We
never know

MANY person had arrived at some
considerable degree of knowledge if he
had not been full of self conceit. and
imagined that he had known enough
already, or else was ashamed to let
others know that he was unacquainted
with it. God and man are ready to
teach the meek, the humble and the
ignorant; but he that fancies himself
to know any particular subject we'll, or
that will not venture to ask question
about it, such a one will not put him
self into the way of improvement bv
inquiry and diligence.

A Huge Magnet

According to the recent investiga-
lions OF Prof. Frank H Bigelow, the
vast field of sunlight through which
the earth careers in its annual mo-
ton around the center of the solar
system is also a field of magnetic
force radiated from the sun, and the
effects arising from the motion of the
earth through it suffice to account
not only for the vibrations of the
magnetic needle but also fer the per-
manent magnetic condition of the
globe.
This discovery-fOr it seems most
probable that further Investigations
will confirm it as a genuine discovery
lis in accordance with the recent
conclusions Of Professor Hertz as to
the intimate relations OF light and
electricity.
1t is a very impressive picture
which science is thus beginning tC

wherein the impulses arising at the
center are communicated outward in
every direction to bodies hundreds OF

closely bound. To them, at least, there are

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 23.-The

some interesting figures about internal reve-

No doubt the government of a great
Kingdom by queen-regent in the in

organs are trying to educate the British pub
lie into an approval of the parliamentary
grant raising the income of the recently AFT

Will not consent to open the coming session
of parliament unless the cabinet will assent
to taking the risk involved in bringing for
ward the proposal. The ministers, in the
meantime, are unwilling to go farther than
to propose a dover for the Princess Victoria
Mary or an annuity of 5000 as a marriage
settlement. The radicals will agree to a
moderate dowry, but to no further grant to
the Duke of Clarence; and, if the government
ventures to ask for a special provision for
him, the opposition reckon on vote of 200
against the measure.

THE child of the streets loves the
freedom Of his life, and it is hard tc
wean him from it, and that end can
never be accomplished by harsh meas
ures- Taken from his rowing life and
set in the schoOl-rOOm among chill
dren who enjoy parental care and the
comforts Of home, he feels himself
a pariah, and reyenges himself upon
his tOrmentOrs, the truant officers and
the teachers, whom he usually hates
with an abiding hatred, by demoraliz-
ing all the children that come in con-
tact with him, and imparting to them
far more Of evil than he imbibes of
good from the instruction and associ-
ations of the school. If placed in a
reformatory he still seems an outcast,
and there is no incentive to improve
ment, and no substantial effect is at
tanned in educating him. The first
step in the eduatiOn of neglected
children should be in the direction of
manual training. While an ignorant
lad might not appreciate the i'm
portance of learning to read and
write, he knows by observation that
manual dexterity will enable him to
earn money. While he is learning to
use his hand and brain in the cruder
work of manual training, he is at the
same time being prepared for that
mental training which is to make him
an intelligent workman.

The American Case Against Chill.
NEW YoRK.-Our controversy with Chill is
approaching a conclusion.
1t IS learned that the latest communications
from Minister Egan are of a character to
discourage a diplomatic attempt to induce
the CHILEAN authorities to express any regret
at the assault upon our sailors in Valparaiso,
Or TO make any reparation for the killing of
the men of the Baltimore.
The secretary of state was engaged upon
the preparation of the American case against
hill. When Blame has completed his state
ment the president Will take it in hand, pre-
facing it with an introduction of his own,
and, perhaps adding some language that he
1eems essential to impress congress with the
Importance of prompt treatment OF his sug-
gestions, will send it to both houses as
special message.
In temperate way, following traditions
n forms of presentation, he will indicate to
ongress the conclusion that indifference to
our requests for reparation by the Gillian
government amount to manifest actions of
hostility and that, in order to assert the de-
mands of the United States effectively, the
president will request that he he permitted
to use the naval and military forces of the
United States to constrain that respect which
cannot be secured through ordinary diplo-
matte channels and by the employment of
the respectful agencies of the state depart
will send his special message on Chill to con-
gress. and as IS now considered not lmprob-
able that he may, it is considered almost GER
tain that the holiday recess will be either
abandoned or reduced to one of unusual
brevity.
