he expects to become one of the chief
attractions of his native town when 1t is

Curious Contrasts.

The i'll temper. the lack of self re-
%straint. the utter unreasonableness which
at the present time in various parts OF
the world characterize the relations of
men with their fellows are psychicai
phenomena eminently deserving the at
tention of the philosopher. In Central
America, in Colorado, in the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel. in Paris, in remote Siam. ever
within the staid and sacred precincts OF
the British house of commons. lunacy
and individual responsibility seem tenn
porarily to prevail.
Professional pugilism alone preserves
prudent passivity. While Mitchell, Cor
hett, John l.. and their brothers Of the
ring keep their heads cool and judicious-
ly refrain from fight, statesmen. legisla-
tors, politicians and other representa-
tives of the SO called higher civilization
are flying at one another's threats and
making day and night hideous with their
howlings. Why is this thus?-William

Blund.r Worse Than Guilt.

There are some penalties ON innocent
acts essential to human safety, and the
signaler whose failure has destroyed a
train must be punished, even though,
when he pleads that he was in a 'dwam,"
he is to his own mind telling the. simple
and sufficient truth. Nature is ever
harder on blunder than on guilt, and
though man has no right to be as stern
as nature, which, for example, executed
q dynamiter at Madrid-not for his in
tention to murder, but for his careless
ness in dropping his b~omb-still, there
are points upon which he must be nearly
as hard.-London Spectator.

Pigeons Do Not Fly by Sight.

The numerous experiments made by

dead, and even at the moderate height of
300 meters pigeons liberated by the bal
loonist CASTOR Tissandier approached
the earth i'll a spiral course 1t is evil
dent, hence, that they are not guided
wholly by sight. To bring a point 500
miles distant within the range of vision
it would be necessary to ascend nearly
20, 900 meters. The carrier pigeon. start
