it was with the celebrated East
India Trading Company, of Great
Britain. Its servants having this power
delegated to them, though being for the
most part men of great standing and
| lofty characters, soon become nabobs
and very lords of misrule, tyrants over
800 100000 Hindous, playing'the great
game of empire with Kingdoms for
chess boards, and despots and Indian
princes for pieces, and sweeping up lots
of rupees, the products of the toll, de-

poor helpless, labonng men of India.
We are yet barely entering upon the
second century of a republic founded in
a wilderness. wild, uninhabited of con-
tinental dimensions, and are the sons
in first descent of fathers of stern virtue
and simple, rustic lives, yet already we
are what Rome took 700 years to be-
come, though planted in sight of de-
cayed or decaying civilization. Accord
ing to Tacitus, 1--WE are groaning under
the pest OF laws Under the simple
twelve tables and few police regula-
tions Rome lived and came to rule the
world.
Under our constitution and a few
simple enactments our fathers hoped
we might live happy for ages. But
each congress sees thousands of new
acts proposed and hundreds made, and
every new enactment "has a job in its
belly" to use Tom BentOn's crude ex-
preston. And even state legislatures
and municipal councils follow the eX-
ample of congress until it would seem
that the time is near when avariee
shall have emptied the bowels of the
earth, and greed and cunning covered
her surface with laws and court reports
so many books that really the world
cannot contain them. And as to that
old maxim, "every man must know
the law" why the very lawyers them
selves can't begin to know it. Once a
new law was phenomenon proclaimed
by bell and a crier, and publicly
posted, and all men knew of it. Hence
the maxim. The reason for law or
maxim, ceasing, the law itself ceases is
another maxim or self evident law.
But the Pest of laws sweeps all away.

Americans Abroad.

Thousands of our fellow countrvmer
and women will doubtless take run
across the water for brief vacation this
coming summer 1t is safe to say ma
jority of them will go for the first time
and that they will be of that class which
combines the best qualities of mankind
the intelligent people who have earned
the money they are going to spend in
Europe. They may be seen by the hun
dred and thousand crisscrossing Europe
notebooks in hand, and, heaven bless
them! talking through their noses. some
times, alas! very loud.
A word to these, our fellow country
men and women, may not be out of place
lest the ignorant and untraveled popula
tons of Europe get exceedingly erronr
GUS ideas of this Union. Don't tala
loudly and boastfully everywhere about
how superior things in your own coun
try are to everything in Europe. 1t twill
not go down pleasantly with the foreign
ers, and, besides, it is not the fact A hun.
bred things there are better, finer and
handsomer than any object in the same
line in this country. Keep your mouth
shut and your eyes and ears open. Watch
quietly the usages of the foreign ladies
and gentlemen and fall into their Gus
toms when you are in their country
Note that foreigners do not expectorate
and do not chew tobacco.
Look at the exquisite pictures, the
marvellous sculpture. Listen to the mu
sic, contemplate the finely finished land
scapes, the lovely parks, and let the
beauty and poetry of it all sink into your
utilitarian American soul You will be
reminded by the behavior of some of
your own fellow countrymen that rude
ness is not independence, and a coarse,
aggressive manner is not the best way
of showing yourself a citizen Of the
greatest nation the sun shines on. For
that very reason you can afford to be
quiet, polite and gentle in manner. Go
abroad to learn, and you will be richly
rewarded. Do not lecture the foreigners
on temperance and prohibition. Doubt
less they need it, but it is not your place
to do it.
Once in awhile you will meet some of
your own fellow countrymen with
sprangly, bushy boards, outlandish gar
ments and the same rusty, long legged
boots they wore when they drove the COWS

looking like a grizzly bear This kind Of
Americans will be so well satisfied with
themselves that you will feel blush

HrboF Day.


1t is with pleasure that we give place
to thefollowing eloquent paragraph from
the proclamation of the governor of
Pennsylvania ON Arbor day;
Let the people lay aside for season the
habitual activity Of the day and devote suf-
ficient time thereof to plant forest, fruit OF
ornamental tree along the public highways and
streams, in private and public parks, about the
public schoolhouses and on the college grounds,
in gardens and on the farms. thus promoting
the pleasure, profit and prosperity Of the people
of the state, providing protection against floods
and storms, securing health and comfort, in
ereasing that which is beautiful and pleasing
20 the eye, comforting to physical life and ele-
waiting the mind and heart, and by associations
and meetings excite public interest and give en-
couragement 70 this most commendable work
In the beginning of his proclamation
Governor Pattison alludes to the favor
able changes that have already taken
place in regard to this question since Ar
Dor day was instituted as a regular &C.
casion for observance in Pennsylvania
The main change has been everywhere
in the direction Of improved public opin-
ion. 1t began first in the public schools
in all the states. This was the best pos
sible beginning. The pupils had holi-
day in which to plant trees in school
grounds and parks. The next step was
to plant trees along public highways.
The planting was always accompanied
with pleasant ceremonial observances.
speeches, recitations and music
From this the next move was to set
before the people the frightful injury
done their farms by stripping off the
timber, especially near the headwaters
of streams. They were set to thinking
Of the damage that had already been
done and Of ways in which further dam
age might be checked. Then they began
to set out trees on their private grounds,
both fruit and forest trees. Millions of
trees have thus been planted by the
children of those who cut trees down.
A valuable store of literature has &C
cumulated on arboriculture. There are
now books in plenty that show what
trees are best adapted to given soils, also
what trees will be most profitable in the
commercial way, both for nuts and wood.
The American eye for artistic beauty
has been immeasurably helped too.
Many farmer who formerly let weeds
and briers run wild and unsightly along
his roadside has cut them all away and
planted rows of beautiful trees. Hedges
OF Towering shrubs, clumps of trees
about springs and water sources, already
attest to our awakened interest in arbor
iculture.

In the year 1890 2s6 passengers were
killed in railway accidents in this coun.
try. In the same time 2.451 railway
employees were killed, though there are
probably 100 passengers to every en-
ployee. In 1890 2.425 passengers and
$4,000 employees were injured. The pro-
portion is about the same each year.
These figures will enable one to under
stand why the automatic car coupler
bill over which there was such fight in
congress last winter was passed. Under
that law, instead of the common hand
brake, power brakes must be used on
freight as well as passenger trains. With
these the engineer can control the speed
of a train. By the provisions Of this act
brakemen will no longer be compelled
to go between cars to couple them, but
instead an automatic coupler must be
employed. Grab irons and hand holds
must also be provided as the interstate
When this law comes into operation, the
slaughter Of railroad employees will
probably be stopped to a great extent.
There is time for the killing of 100000
or SO of the unfortunate fellows yet,
however, though Since railroad compar
MES will not be forced to use power
brakes and automatic couplers before
Jan. 1, 1898, five years yet. However, it is
certain that humane railway corporations
will have complied of their own accord
with the law long before that time.

Our Knowledge of Insects.

In England we have about 12,000 spe- cies of insects, and it is perhaps not to be expected that the ultimate total, when all the smallest species have been collected and studied as assiduously as the larger ones, will exceed this estimate by more than few hundred, or at most 1000 or 2,0OO. But with foreign countries it is very different, and I must confess that l was surprised when I lately received 8 fine new species of phasmida from Mad agascar, to find that barely half dozen species had yet been recorded from that island. If this is the state of our knowl- edge of such insects as phasmida, how imperfect must it be of the smaller spe- cies of coleoptera, hymenoptera, diptera, etc., many of which are of almost micro scopic dimensions!
 Many insects are so local and so closely connected with plants which disappear before civilization that the same fate ot extermination which has fallen on so many of the larger animals during the last century cannot but fall heavily upon these also. It is not too much to say that it is highly probable that large propor- ton of the insects at present existing Tn the world will become extinct before | their existence is even known to scien- tific men.-W. F. Kirby in Knowledge.

Palestine Under the caliphs.

In the first century of the decline of the great caliphs of Bagdad, Bernard, 8 Breton monk from the celebrated mon- astery of Mont St. Michel, set out for the Holy Land, travelling first to Rome. He found the Saracens in possession of Bari and transporting thousands of Ital- ian Christians captives to Egypt and Barbary. After a months sailing he reached Alexandria, where heavy tolls were levied, and so entered Palestine from the south by Gaza. His account contains the first known notice of the miracle of the holy fire, which must have been a recent custom, or Antony and Willibald, Sylvia and Paula would not all alike have been silent on the sub ject. He also speaks of the hospice for pilgrims erected by Charlelnagne in Je- rusalem near the sight afterward fa- nous as the Hospital of the Knights of St. John.-Edinburgh Review.

How the Car Takes Exercise.

The czar takes a visible delight in man. ual labor, which in his case is physical necessity no less than a favorite pastime. He unhesitatingly puts his hand to any kind of work that has to be done, but his usual occupation is to fell huge trees, saw them into blanks, plane them and generally prepare them for the cabinet maker. In winter the gardeners have strict orders not to clear away the snow from the avenues and walks in the park, which is invariably left for his majesty, who, attired in short gray jacket (too- shoorka), shovels it up into enormous aounds and then transfers it to a cart. 1t occasionally happens, when he cannot complete the task he had set himself within the time at his disposal, that his children lend their assistance and cart away the snow to remote part of the grounds. s.--Contemporary Review.

A Clever Advertiser.

A gentleman advertised for wife, and one of the answers to his advertise ment was from Preston. After lot of loving correspondence meeting was ar ranged at Preston station. The agree ment was that he should carry light blue silk handkerchief in his left hand, but being suspicious of sell he went to Preston by an earlier train, and, as he suspected, he found that few choice spirits had arranged warm reception for his benefit.
 A short time before the train he was expected by was due the lady, accom- panied by several young fellows, arrived at the station, and the fellows made themselves scarce when the train was signaled. The advertiser followed them to hotel to watch the developntent oi the play. The young fellows. were aw fully disappointed when the young lady reported that their intended victim hao not turned up, and they proceeded te appoint judge, jury and counsel to try him, although he was absent.
 The gentleman was asked to be one o. the iurymen. All the letters were read | and counsel made their speeches Aftel the trial was over the company spent { jolly evening, and at it's conclusion the. accompanied the advertiser to the sta tion. When his train was just starting he leaned out of the window and waved his blue handkerchief in the faces of hi thunderstruck escort.-London Tit-Bits

A Ra,,pe of Omce.

Sylyanus Cobb, IT,, the author of countless tales of romance and adven- ture, was a printer by trade, and on one occasion especially his printers rule served him good turn. At IT years of. age he had entered the navy, where his duties were. arduous and monotonous. He was serving on the sloop of war Fair field when it was cruising along the Af- rican coast, and one day, desperately tired of his duties, he stood leaning against gun. his old composing rule in his hand.
 sWhat's that?'' asked an abrupt voice, and turning with 8 start young Cobb saw that the captain was watching him.
 .sIt's printers rule, sir" was the re- ply.
 s'Are you printer?
 '.That's my profession, sir. :"
 stDo you know anything about proof reading? Could you take manuscript and punctuate and arrange it so that a printer would know just how to put 1t in type?"
 "i could once, sir, and think have not forgotten" .s
 s'What are you doing now?'

 sYes, know. MT. Dodd," he called to the officer of the deck, twill you have this man relieved? As soon as you art at liberty" he added, addressing. the young man, report to me in my cabin.
 The youth did so and was given { mass of notes referring to various voy ages and travels in foreign lands to b' sorted and arranged for the printer This work occupied him during the en tire voyage. Thus he had found, thank to his printers rule, the easiest berth or board the ship.-Y Youth's Companion.

Declined the Test.

During the war contractor made to Secretary Cameron proposition to sup ply breastplates for the Union soldiers at so much a thousand. After he had used up much valuable time in expatiating on the merits of his protective ar1nor, the secretary said:
 'You will guarantee it bullet proof?'
 Absolutely so, replied the applicant for a contract.
 "Very well, then,'' said MT. Cameron. "Just put on the samples you have been showing me, and stand on the other side of the room while I try few shots at you with this pistol. If you remain un" hurt, I shall be convinced of the useful ness of your breastplate."
 Strange to say, the contractor refused to accede to the suggestion, and no armor was provided for the Federal soldiers Washington Star.

THE president has issued call for con- oress to assemble Aug. 7th-six weeks earlier than he was proposing to have IL convene.

With the impending certainty of tarlh change there can be no settled state for manufac- turing interests. If foreign competition is to necessitate a change of products or a smaller price, manufacturers must De- gin to adapt themselves to the change and if they produce at all do so at lower cost.

The Profit on ciaarettes.

New brands of cigarettes are put on the market with discouraging regular ity. Dealers say there is no profit in their sale, yet no tobacconist can afford to be without them in stock. One of the largest dealers in the city in all kinds of tobacco has made it the rule of his estab- lishment that no cigarettes shall be sold on credit. Said he: 'To sell a man cig- arettes on credit is just like lending him money out of my own pocket. There is nothing in handling them. With cigars it is different. There is good profit in them, and will sell on credit to any good man, because can afford to wait for the money. ."-New York Tribune.
