SIGNS AMI WONDERS.

Lieutenant c. A. L. TOtten, who is de-
tailed from the United States Army to
give military instruction in the Sheffield
Scientific School of Yale College, and
hence enjoys the prestige of being known
as ''a Yale College professor" has &C
quired notoriety by confident predic-
tons that the world is soon coming to
an end. These predictions are based on
various grounds, some relating to Bibli-
cal prophecy, some to signs in the starry
heavens, and some to current events.
For the most part this diligent promul-
gator of the doctrines commonly known
as second adventism" is dismissed
from consideration with good natured
smile and possibly an impatient gesture
of indifference or contempt. This is not
altogether strange, for really scientific
men have no sympathy with his astrono-
my, chronology or natural philosophy;
competent Old and New Testament
scholars refuse to indorse his exegesis,
and authorities on history gives his so.
called historical parallels no cOunten-
ance. Each class of educated specialists
in turn repudiates the alleged prOphe-
from those specialtes. At the same
time plain people of keen intelligence
who read his prophetic writings or hear
his lectures feel that there is a screw
loose somewhere in these seemingly
learned demonstrations. Nevertheless,
Professor" Totten is an interesting OBJ
ject to study.
He is interesting because he repre-
senIs class of people and phase of re-
ligious tendency that have had a pro-
found influence upon multitudes of men
and women all over the Christian world,
but more particularly in America. Our
older readers will remember the miller
tie" excitement that eliminated in the
year 1884, when it was believed by tens
of thousands that with absolute certainty
derived from Holy Writ, the day of
of judgment would come in the autumn
of one or the other of those years. Adj
ventism may be said to have reached its
high water mark at that period. Never
since that time has there been anything
like general agreement of Second Adj
ventists upon an exact date.
1t is mistake, however, to suppose
that such ideas have died out. There
are people in considerable numbers who
take Lieutenant Totten and all of its
class seriously. Even in cultured Bos-
ton, a couple of weeks ago, "a Yale pro-
lessor" addressed great audience that
gathered in one of the city's largest
halls to hear what he had to say about
"The Star in the East" 1t was evident
that a majority of the audience came to
learn and not to laugh; to learn, that is,
wherein his Millerish views agreed with
or differed from those of other workers
in the same field; and this from a stand
point of general sympathy. OF course
the audience did not in any sense repre-
sent the foremost intellectual life of
Boston, but that so many people could
be got together in such place to heark-
en- to such lecture is curiousy signi-
ficant circumstance.

British statesman, in the first of her ar
ticles, 'Hints from a Mothers Life"

THE DECLINE OF PoLITENEss.

One reason for the decline of polite
ness is found in the fact that wealth now
pushes itself everywhere, and cultured
society suffers by the introduction of
persons whose only claim to recognition
is that they have made money.
Making money does not necessarily
make man vulgar, but pushing does.
Yet even this change is not altogether
deplorable. 1t is this National push
that has filled the wilderness with cities
and turned deserts into cornfelds And
in progress almost revolutionary in its
pace, there has been no time to keep the
hat in the hand and to be picturesque
and elegant Most social evils are re-
trievable, unless women take part in
them; but in the general decline of po-
likeness women are undeniably Gin the
transgression." They have airily per-
mitted that understandable moral phenom-
enon called "the tone of society," to be
lowered.
The habits of gregarious fastness have
been constantly more daring and reck-
less. In the middle classes, women have
gradually identified their work with the
work of men, and in this social disturb
ance the most delicate graces of life are
being lost.-Amelid E. Burr.

The separation of Madam Clemene-
ceau from her husband has added
another to the long list of unhappy and
disappointing marriages that have taken
place between American girls and for
eigpers. In this instance, too, there
were mauy factors which pro missed
favoratly. 1t was a love match. NJ.
Clemenceau was Radical Republican,
and from personal experience was ac-
quainted with American life and feeling.
But the fact is, that the position of
wives in Europe is so different from
what it is in this country that American
women feel themselves reduced to gal
ling slavery. European girls are familiar
with the restriction placed upon them
and with the liberties permitted their
husbands. But the Daisy Millers of
this land of freedom will not brook
the fragrant treatment which falls to
their lot under the circumstances, and
wretchedness and,open rupture follow as
a matter of course. Occasionally one
finds happy international marriage,
but it is the exception thai proves the
rule.

The Strong Man of the Futur.

The times are favorable, we think, for
the presentation of new political ideals.
Strong men of the old type, iron handed
warriors and stern legislators, are out OF
date. On the other hand the want OF
frmness and principle in connection with
political affairs was never more conspicu-
Gus. We want a new race of strong men,
in whom the gamester element shall be
wholly absent, and who shall aim to ac-
complish their ends not by personal tours
de force, nor yet by craft and flattery, but
by steady adherence to principle and pa
tient efforts to awaken the public to q
sense of their true interests.
The strong man of the future will be
strong In knowledge and in social sympa.
thy, and his strength will be spent, not in
efforts to perpetuate his personal ascend
ency, but in efforts to develop all that is
best In the society Of the time. The true
strong man, as we conceive him, will have
no greed for power; his greed, if such it
may be called, will be for usefulness, and
he will show his strength by his willing
ness to retire at any moment from a pub
lie to private position rather than prove
unfaithful to his convictions or do any
thing unworthy of a man of honor.
Strictly speaking, a man who with ade-
quate knowledge and intelligence tries
faithfully to serve the public can never be
obscure, though offices should not seek
him nor caucuses make mention of his
name. The public at large will recognize
and honor his efforts, and his influence
may be greater in private station than
that of score of average Legislators

The warrior of the sea, the swordfish,
is barring the halibut, the largest of the
food fishes, the fastest fish that swims
and withal the only one that attacks and
conquers the whale. Another remark
able fact is that the swordfsh crosses the
ocean twice each year. No baby sword
fish has ever been seen on our coast, and
reward of $100 for one which was
caught here foot or less in length has
never had claimant. Swordfish breed
in Mediterranean waters, and nowhere
else are young and old found together
When warm weather comes they go
abroad. Crossing the Atlantic the sword
fish stops awhile at Newport, Block is
land and Bar Harbor and returns in the
cool of the autumn weather to its home
and children. Swordfish average about
five or six feet in length and 800 pounds
in weight. They are dark above and
whitish underneath, and are armed with
a hard and pointed sword which projects
from their upper jaw and in length
equals about a third of that of their bodies.
This sword is most powerful weapon
and its owner does not hesitate to use it
either as means of offense or defense.
The swords have been run through dories
and ships bottoms and even through a
piece of solid oak five inches thick.
Many luckless sword fisherman has
lost his life on account of the quickness
and ferocity with which this remarkable
fish uses his sword.-New York Tele-
gram.

SiIken Hangings.

Silk faced portieres and others called
Derby are very handsome, and some OF
them are reversible, requiring no lining.
All silk portieres are made reversible also,
with exquisite bordering in Colonial de-
signs. Some Of the portieres are to be
lined, and they are made of rich satin
damasks, in two and three colors, in the
most delicate and pleasing tints, in Louis
XIV, XVI and Colonial patterns, the bro.
cade elegant enough for queens gown.
These, when used for curtains and por-
there's, are lined with silk made in the same
width, called sunshining drapery. 1t is
changeable in two tints, one following the
principal one in the damask and the other
contrasting, and thrown over the surface
Is trailing frostwork in white, which
makes of it IN exquisite material, which is
also used separate from the damask in
many instances, as it is reversible.
Table covers are made to match the por-
there's and hangings, and come in several
sizes, SO that room can be completely fur
nished, so to speak, from one piece of goods
A few years ago this all would have been be-
yond the reach of any but the very wealthy,
but these silks and tapestries are now be-
ing made in America, and while they are
every whit as good and handsome as well
as durable as the imported cost much less.

More inventions have been made for
miners than for almost any other class
of men, and there is still grand field in
mining for the inventors genius. The
danger and risk of mining are still great,
and it is only through inventions that
safety in this work can be obtained.
The miners hats, lights, jackets and i'm
plements for work are nearly all patent
ed, and all of the machinery used for
blasting the rocks, crushing them and
smelling the ore bears the stamp of many
geniuses.
At the mouth of the miners coat and
trousers pocket, to resist strain and wear
and tear, are small eyelets or meta
rivets, which make large profit for the
inventor. The inventor of glass covered
lights which can be carried into the
mines without igniting the dangerous
gases that might be floating around reaps
princely fortune. George e. Walsh in
