4 ROYAL VIEW OF THE FUTURE
1t is of common knowledge that the
Prince of Wales, who has Just made 3
long visit to France, keeps himself en-
tirely aloof from politics, but he is none
the less at liberty to hold his own opin-
ions on men and things, and to express
his views on the events of the day,
which. saws the GdUiojS. he always does
with the greatest reserve and the most
absolute discretion.
"IEis utterances certainly bind no one
hut himself continues our contempo-
rarv. land perhaps he may, when King
of England, forget what he said While
Prince of Wales, but it is nevertheless
true that expressions of opinion coming
from so high source are worth remem-
bering. We are, therefore, glad to hear
from the mouth of one who is admitted
to intimacy with the Prince some of
the conversations in which His Royal
Highuess has taken part.
"'Phe Prince of Wales. we are told,
ardently desires that France and Eng
land should come to complete agree
ment upon all the question which di-
vide them at the present time and
should hold common views as TO the
direction Of European politics. Might
not England even be sort Of buffer
between France and Germany? In
the Prince idea, such q new rdpproche-
mcat would be destined to finally Sc
cure the peace of Europe and might
even lead to that reduction of arma-
ments so unanimously desired by all
peoples, but 50 impossible that the
strongest sets the example.
at is not for US to Judge these views
here. In our opinion the peace of Eu-
rope can be best guaranteed by the
Car Alexander, who holds it, so TO
speak, in the hollow of his hand. We
are. however, pleased to know that q
great prince. whose sympathy for
| France is well known, is striving, with
the discretion which characterlzes him,
TO dissipate the misunderstanding
which exists between his country and
ours. We have right to be pleased at
it.p-From the European edition OF the
! Ne,u YORK, Herald.

bhere were Sunday schools on the CONT,
nent before that year, it was not till
1855 that any definite move to extend
and systematic them was entered upon
and it was Albert Woodruff, an Amer.
lean and native of Massachusetts,, who
inaugurated the movement. 1t was il
Paris that he began. He was taking
a holiday trip through Europe and was
much cast down by the Dissertation OF
the Lords day in the gay French CAPT
tai. On bordering upon the matter he
became convinced that the first day OF
the week could best be redeemed to
Christian uses in Europe by the estab,
liShment of Sunday schools.
Mr.. Woodruffs first move was to sc
cure a supply of American Sunday
school music. Then he enlisted the sym.
pathy of number of pastors and lay,
men, and in half a year six Sunday
schools had been successfully organized
on the American plan. A committee fol
the formation of similar schools through.
out France was got together, and Rev.
H. Paumier was made its chairman
Rev. J. T. Cook was the first Sunday
school missionary in Europe, the field OF
his labors taking in Switzerland anG
southern France.
Mr.. Woodruff became so greatly i'm
pressed by the success of the movement
in France that in 1860 he determined tC
give up his business and devote his for
tune and the remainder of his life to the
work. BY 1862 he was again on the Other
side of the Atlantic, where his unbound

John RuSkin'S Home,

Brentwood, the chosen lakeside HON,
of John Ruskin during the last quarter
century of his life, occupies one of the
most favored spots in all England. Sit
uated on the border line of Lancashire
and Cumberland in the lake district il
overlOOks the smallest of the waters il
that lake country with which the
names of Wordsworth, Southey, Cole
ridge, Lamb, Lloyd and Wilson are in
delibly connected.
Set in the background Of half encir-
cling wood of exquisite grace and mys.
tic beauty, as seen in the green hall
light of Its tranquil shade, Brentwood
is protected from the east winds by the
open, using moOrland that stretches fal
to the rear and faces a long slope OF
lawn that sweeps down to Coniston
waters edge. Behind the green and
purple moor the water Of its overflow
ing wells runs swiftly down the rocks
with all the fuss of Il real cascade, and
the exalted rock of "Naboth' rises just
beyond the borders of his estate-a sort
of natural pulpit which is rented by
Ruskin, so that from its greater height,
which he loves to climb, he may gaze
upon the wider view. In front the mar
row lake, sparkling in the sun and blue
as the waters of the Rhone or of Thun.
Then the rising banks beyond of broken
green, with white faced houses blink
ing behind the trees, and the gray vii
lage of ConistOn nesting away to the
right, close down by the head of the
lake, and beyond the "Old Man. him

rise close about his knees. -McClure' s

Earthwnrms Not Blind.

James Weir, Jr., in a curious little
study in evolution, shows that all the
five senses of man are found in the low
er forms of animal life. Darwin, while
admitting that earthworms are sensible
to light. maintains that they are blind.
Weir, in The North American Review,
maintains the contrary. He says that
the circumscribed spots on the dOrsal
surface of the worm are primitive eyes
The microscope reveals in these spots a
transparent membrane, an aCcumula-
ton of pigmentary matter, a special
nerve spread out in this matter and ex-
tending to the central nerve structure.
The membrane is the COrnea, the pig
mentary matter retina and the special
nerve an optic nerve. AS there is no
lens, the worm can distinguish only
light and darkness. The arrangements
for the sense of touch are not materially
different from those in man. The sense
which they are without is that of hear
ing, but sound waves are conveyed to
the sensorlum through the sense of
touch. That worms have taste and
smell can be proved by experiments
with food. As to smell. put musk near
them, and it is amusing to see them
hunting their holes to escape it. THE
nerves of taste and smell are blended to-
gether and can readily be made out
