time they were finished she was an expert rider.
Putting on the new costume. she mounted her

But the dust had been left behind and she
stood out with great clearnes9 when she rode
into the yard at home. Her father was sitting
on the steps Of the side door and looked at her
with admiration. Miss Grace was just taking a
turn around the woodpile to show her proficiency

PRICES AND MONOPOLTES.

Prudence IS not popular. It chlls the fine
enthusiasm which Is delightful both TO feel and
10 witness, 1t hides the rose-coored glow Of
hope with the dull and leaden clouds OF calcula-
ton 1t Is an uncomfortable virtue, and yet the
world does not get along very well without 1t.
The Spectator or merchant would II he could,
but knows II Is expensive 10 try. The political
leader who abandons prudence and filings the
reins on the neck Of hope Is apt TO make more
fun for his foes than for his friends. But per-
haps no other man Is more frequently and pro-
foundly disguised with the chilling restraints OF
business than the monopolist-the participant
In combinations and trusts Yet no other stands
In greater need Of those restraints. The lndi-
vidual merchant or manufacturer who risks his
private fortune at every step has all the time
the ncalculabe benefits Of counsels whispered
by prudence But the man who thinks he has
all the markets by the throat and can do what
he pleases without regard TO the wishes or in
terests Of others Is constantly playing with
dynamite, as the operators in so-called industrial
stocks have been learning.
II Is not probable that cordage or whiskey pro-
ducers, acting each on his individual RESPONSE
bility and risk, would ever have exposed them
selves to such rulnOus losses as have been sus-
tained by the trusts Everybody now knows
that there has been management which may be
chartably called reckless, because II would other
wise be criminal, In several Of the industrial
combinations. But many are apt to overlook the
truth that this Is the natural result OF supposed
freedom from restraint. The man who thinks
he can defy fate and trample on all rights Is cx-
tremely near destruction by his own reckless and
foolish conduct Sn ntor .

BARRrERs TO CELESTIAL RESEARCH

1t will be well not to expect much from the
exploration Of the moon which NJ. Mantois. OF
Paris, proposes TO undertake some five years
hence. He does not, Of course, mean actually 10
visit the moon. His examination OF II will be
effected through monster telescope, the largest
ever made The tube will be nearly 200 feet
long and the objective about 81 Inches In d.
ameter The image Of the moon will be re-
fected by mirror plane" feet In diameter,
and will be projected upon screen In public
hall. where hundreds Of spectators at once may
enjoy q "trip TO the moon" The calculation Is
that such an apparatus will render readily visible
objects 200 or 800 feet In diameter or reveal
the evolutons OF regiment, or the movements
of crowds Of human beings supposing there TO
be any In the moon. The promise Is tempting
one, and II The great instrument Is completed IT
will doubtless form an attractive feature Of the
Paris Worlds Fair Of 1900, at which II Is 10 be
displayed.
That any important new facts concerning our
satellite will thus be disclosed Is, however, ex-
ceedngly doubtful Astronomers know we'll
that the efficiency Of telescopes does not increase
in the same ratio as their size, or anything like
It, Beyond a certain limit, indeed 1t practically
ceases 10 Increase In theory, we might build
a
size of man on the moons surface clearly
visible, and even to reveal the features Of the
mans face. A telescope big enough for that
were efficiency dependent solely upon size, might
actually be constructed. In practice, however
II would utterly fail to do any such thing. II
would reveal nothing but glare and blur
with really not as much detail as Is shown
through some instruments now In use
The reason Of this Is to be found In the at
mosphere Of our own globe, which Is perpetually
In disturbed and tremulous condition. This
state Of the air Is not much perceived through
telescopes Of ordinary size. The larger the in
strument the more perceptible it is, and the
more It nterferes with accurate observation
The telescope which NJ. Mantos proposes to
make will have a greater magnifying power
than any now in use, but 1t will also have less
clearness and distinctness OF image, that a
view Of the moon through It is scarcely likely
TO be any more interesting to the popular eye
or any more instructive TO the scientific eye, than
that obtained through the best instruments now
existing TO this may be added the further con-
sideratiOn that, however much we may magnify
our image Of the moons surface and however
clear and distinct that magnified image may be,
we shall come little If any nearer to learning the
secrets OF the moons chemical composition. The
moon shines with nothing but borrowed light
reveal. in analyzng that light the composition
OF the sun from which II originally proceeds
The lunar mirror which reflects the rays remains
unknown. Truly. the gap that separates US
from even the nearest Of the other worlds Is stu

Inasmuch as the young Car has fulfilled none

his accession. with regard to the Inauguration OF
an era Of greater liberality and progress In so far
as the Internal administration Of his vast empire

be q revival Of the Nihilist movement. Its leaders
announced last winter that they would walt TO see

welded TO that baneful bureaucratic system

newed vigor and have signazed the reopening
OF the campaign by terrible outrage at Tula,
where the artillery barracks have just been blown
up by dynamite causing the death OF no less than
three hundred men and officers. Moreover the

missves OF one kind and another that he now

LONDON, May 2L-Speaking tonight AT
a meeting OF the Conservative Union
the Right Hon. A. j. Balfour. Conserva-
tive leader in the House OF Commons. said
that the burden OF political action rested
not upon the House Of Commons, where
the government was playing out a duii
and piiiful comedy. but upon the electoral
organizations outside the House. me
time was near. he added. when an appeal
10 the country would be inevitable he
was not certain when the government
would abandon It's hopeless task OF try
ing TO legislate. but II would be best for
the Opposition to make the date as soon
as possible. (Cheers.)
Next week might bring the downfall
OF the Ministry. II might, however, out
live the session. but unless there was a
great and unparalleled change In public
opinion. II could not long survive. In con-
clusion. Mr. Balfour urged the party or
CARNATIONS everywhere to be ready for
general election.
