breeding season comes on queer change
may be observed. As soon as she com

pressions come in her back. and into these
holes the male puts the eggs his partner
lays, pressing them well down with his
feet. In due course Of time a natural

England's Fear of Invasion,

The second preparation for war was the
well known yet curious and much dis
cussed equipment of an expedition to in
vado England. Ii is % commonplace o!
history that British empire has ever been
bound up with the separation of the king
dom from the continent of Europe by q
narrow but stormy estuary. There had,
of course, been repeated and successful in
vasions of her soil from the days OF the
Anglo SaXonS themselves down to the OK
petition of William of Orange, but grow
ing wealth had furnished ever increasing
means of resistance in the superb arma-
monts which under England's flag made
access to her shores so much more difficult
with every year that finally, after the
Seven Years war, it came to be regarded
by her enemies rs impossible On the other
hand, the people themselves are to this
day slcptical and fall into periodic panics
on the question
Some clever fiction, like the Battle Of
Dorking, or revival of the project for a
tunnel under the channel, can awaken
such visions of invasion as to insure the
passage of any grant for strengthening the
navy. This singular distrust was well
known TO the French For many years
the project of II descent on England had
been the standard preteXt of tho convcn-
ton and of the directory to oxtort money
from otliceholdcrs and patriots. Conse-
quently the feasibility Of the scheme had
been standard subject of debate. This
revolutionary, or rather traditional and
national, Inheritance was exploited by the
first consul to its full value. In general
his preparation was doubtless a feint, but
keeping, as ever two strings to his bow.
there were probably times when the scheme
commended itself to him as an alternative.

An ESPECIAL Point.

One especial point made by Judge Bum as
to the alleged similarity of labels. is worthy
of consideration. The third paragraph, page
six, type written decision reads as follows:
"Indeed, there seems to be no idea of at
tempting on the defendants part to put off
its goods as snd for the complainant's
manufacture. The defendant puts its own
peculiar designation of "Baco-Cur upon
it's label in conspicuous green letters upon
white background, while complainant's "No-
to- bac" is placed npon its LABEL. in equally
conspicuous black letters upon a re,
ground. Each, place upon the label which
seals the box, in PLAIN and conspicuous
letters, the name and place of the manu-
facturer The complainan,s label ad-
nonishes the purchaser that he must i'm
me6iately discontinue the use of tobacco.
Fhe defendants label, in large and con-
spicuous heading, says, Don't Stop Tobacco
when You begin taking cure. And don't be
imposed upon by buying remedy that re-
quires you to do so.' There ale many other
distinguishing differences not 90 marked.

A sbsl.r., on,n,on of Society.

Some years ago knew an elder of the Shakers who differed from many of his brethren in having thought much about the social structure of his sect, though their communal life was rather favora- ble to thinking in all of them. We were talking one day of the life of the world, which I defended, and he said in con cession of my ground at one point: "H good society were what it appears to be on the surface, I could not find fault with it. If people in society behaved to- ward one another from motives of real kindness, as they behave now from mo tives of politeness, society would be an image of heaven; for in society you see people defer to one another, the strong give way to the weak the brilliant and the gifted will not put the rest at dis advantage, and they all seem to meet on an equality, The trouble is that their behavior is merely convention and not a principle. They behave beautifully from politeness and not from kindness. From Equality as the Basis of Good Society. by W. D. Hewells, in Century.
