SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.

The discovery by the German Pro-
fessor Roentgen that cathode rays
would pass through substances hith-
erto considered Opaque, is but another
illustration of the fact that in the field
of original research the scientists of
Europe are far in advance Of their
American brethren. Americans are pro-
life of invention, quick to adopt and
improve upon any foreign invention
or creation, but nearly all scientific in
vestigation and researches carried on
throughout this country have some
selfish mOtive-that of pecuniary ma
ture being the most usual-and were
or are originally begun because there
was demand for something new. In
Europe, on the contrary, the entire aim
and object in this field is to benefit
humanity irrespective of the emolu-
ments or honor to be obtained person
ally. Here, the controlling impulse is
the dollar, there, the possession of
knowledge. Among the numerous
great universities in the United States
there is only one, the John Hopkins
of Baltimore, that has won any success

wise should this be and impracticable

past ages, when far otherwise it shall
be.-St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald.

in the field of original research and is
the sole one that carries on this line of
investigation. In Germany, France
and England there is not noted in
stitute of learning where some of the
members of the faculty, fellows or
graduates are not engaged there
in, with the hope of discovering some
thing that shall conduce to the longev-
ity of human life and the betterment
of its general condition. There, men
are content to spend their whole lives
in patient, laborious study with this
sole object in view. All the discover
les of worldwide influence in this field,
with perhaps the single exception of
the electrical, have been made by Eu-
ropeans. In medicine, more especially
perhaps than any other, has Europe
led the way. The savants Pasteur and
Koch with their discoveries of the
bacilli and their endeavors to produce
some remedy to annihilate them, the
innoculation against hydrophobia, the
anti -toxine cure, the production of
lymph, which have revolutionized the
theory and practice of medicine were
all given to the world without any con-
sideration of the profit to be derived
therefrom. The one great scientist of
America, Edison, has followed a diff
ferent course, and today states that all
his faculties center in the invention of
objects that can be used industrially
or commercially. RECIDIvIsT.

suit from coercion. John S. Macken-
zie, of Cambridge, England, quotes a
story to this point, saying: "a distin
guished churchman is said to have re-
marked to the late Prof. Thorold Rog-
ers, 'We must have compulsory religion,
because otherwise we shall have none
at ALL To which the professor replied
that he did not see the difference. The
same might be said of compulsory
morality; it is equivalent to no morality
at ALL" Mr.. Mackenzie adds, however:
'This is, of course, true, yet compul
sorry morality may form an education
towards true morality Having full
filed this work, laws grow obsolete,
and as society progresses they, too, to
to be effective, must be changed with
changing conditions. Just as law
prohibiting cannibalism here and now
would be absurd, so we may hope for
the time when the law against murder
may be equally unmeaning. On the
other hand, as the grosser crimes are
forgotten in their disuse, so the law
may hereafter enforce more complex
and delicate social obligations, and af-
ford protection for rights which are
now continually infringed.
In the same way, public opinion is
growing and changing to meet higher
requirements, and it proves an immense
factor in the moral improvement of
people. 1t embraces large area of
conduct, extending its penalties of dis
grace and ostracism to many acts of
meanness, cowardice, falseness and op
preston, with which the law cannot
interfere. 1t also has rewards to be-
stow, as we'll as penalties to inf1ict, for
the esteem and regard of those around
us are strong incentives to the conduct
which merits them. Indeed, its danger
is that it may become too far-reaching
and too strong, being in itself imper
fectly educated. When it endeavors to
regulate dress, etiquette, styles of liv-
ing and limits of expenditure, those who
bow to it's dictates are often greatly in
jured thereby. And it must be con-
fessed that it frequently condones con-
duct which ought to be rebuked, and is
thus, by no means, an unerring guide.
Nevertheless, it's influence as whole
on large classes of men and women is
healthful, beneficial and progressive.
The personal sense of duty, however,
while not infallible, because always as
cending, is far more to be desired than
any other. It demands Of it's adherents
the exercise of all their faculties to dis
cover what is right, and their loyal ad-
herence when found. 1t involves re-
sponsibility, thought, judgment on the
one hand, and unhesitating obedience
on the other. If it offers more freedom
it also imposes deeper obligation. 1t
has penalties of which the law knows
nothing, and rewards which no public
honor or private friendship can bestow

OH, CIVILIZATIONS!

The case of the poor young girl who
at Cincinnati was so cruelty degraded
and at last deprived of her life by
combination of young lecherous viii
lains is like that of thousands in the
country and is proof of condition of
morals among young men in many of
our towns calling for reform. Girls
are brought up in utter ignorance of
the dangers that surround them. A
poor but handsome girl going from
her fathers home on some little farm
into the village to work, utterly green
and strange to the ways of the world,
innocent as kitten, is almost certain
to fall victim to the wiles of these
young scoundrels even if she is not
lured away, ravished and murdered.
These young men were all highly re-
spectable-one the son of a prominent
minister at Greencastle, Ind, where
the early scenes of the horrible tragedy
evolved. What we wish to point out
is the moral sentiment prevailing so
generally among men, in relation to
such matters. The conduct that leads
to such deplorable results is subject
for 'the light laugh that speaks the
vacant mind" Now were we properly
educated as to such matters, that SEN
timent that regards the procreation of
our kind as mere sensualism to be
gratifed would be regarded with un-
bounded horror. He who pursues
courses of indulgence therein should
be looked down on as brute beast
OF all the foul stains of civilization
this is the deepest and foulest. 1t
ought to rank with murder for pelf
The very first principles of our educa,
ton should so confirm this view that
public opinion would be, in all civilized
lands unanimous on this. But it is
far otherwise and we can find profes
sional men by scores who assert that
animal indulgence as it is called
Though it is libel on the beasts) is
even necessary to health. A vile creed
of fself-indulgence and utterly false as
every higher intellect will know. The
man who dares assert such stuff anC
stamp it with the authority of his pro
fession should be professionally anG
socially damned. Society is greatly a
fault in this, though we are glad t(
say that manifest Improvement ha'
taken place and we have now thou

THREE MORAL FORCES.

In every community that has emerged
from barbarism the people may be di-
vided, as regards their moral character,
into three classes, which, though merg-
ing into one another by innumerable
gradations, are sufficiently definite to
warrant careful discrimination. First,
there are those whose highest standard
of action is obedience to the laws.
This class, of course, includes all who
break them, hoping to escape the pen
atty, and many more who would break
them, but for fear of the consequences.
Others there are who pride themselves
upon always keeping within the letter
of the law, and who feel no compunc-
tion for any wrOngdoing outside of its
limits. Whatever difference may ex
ist between these men, as to conduct,
they all agree in one thing-they none
of them cherish higher sense of obli-
CATION than that which the law of the
land strives to enforce.
There is a much larger class of peo-
pie by whom the restraints of the law
are seldom felt, but whose measure for
conduct is the voice of public opinion.
They move in a certain social circle,
more or less advanced in moral charac-
ter, and to keep up to that standard is
their highest aim. To fall below it is
a disgrace; to rise above it seldom oc-
ours to them.
The third class are not satisfied with
either of these sanctions. They are
law abiding citizens, and they value
the good opinion of their friends and
'neighbors; yet the final test of an &C.
tion for them does not lie in the one or
the other Their own ideal is higher
than either, and their life is an effort
to reach that ideal. Whatever appeals
to them as right, or just, or pure, or
noble, that becomes duty, quite indie
pendent of the praise or blame of 9th
ers. They hold themselves bound by
this obligation, and review their con-
duct with approval or disapproval &C
cordingly.
1t is we'll for the moral progress OF
society that all these motives should be
powerful forces in it's midst It is a
mistake in our respect for the latter
class to underrate the other two. Law
indeed, can only enforce justice to 6
limited extent. Until certain degree
of civilization is reached it is power
less; after an Intelligent conscience
reigns supreme in the heart and life il
is needless. Yet between these two il
has large mission of education to full
fill. AS far as laws are just in them
selves, and promptly enforced, they dis
courage crime, and tend to form habits
of right-doing in those who NIGH
otherwise sink into ruin. There is
disposition among many to depreciat'
conduct that has no better source, ant
to deny that any real goodness can re

THE RICH AND THE POOR.

Differences in the material condi-
tions of men result from the operation
of certain Interchangeable laws of ma
ture. This world was predestined to
be world of infinite variety. Scien-
fists tell us that tendency to varia-
ton exists throughout the vegetable
and animal Kingdoms. Physically and
mentally the human race IS subject to
this law Of variation. No two mem
bers of it are precisely alike in either
body or mind, though all of them have
some faculties and impulses in COM
mon.
Among the universal characteristics
of men is a desire to acquire prop
erty. The ability to say of material
objects, "They are mine," is agreeable
to all human beings, and all are en-
dowed with an acquisitive impulse
that moves them to seek possession of
that with which pleasure becomes as
sociated in their minds This is a pro-
vision of nature designed to secure
our well-being, and is analogous to
that property of plants which causes
them to take up from the soil the ele-
ments adapted to nourish them, and
to that instinct of animals by virtue
of which they select the food that
makes for their sustenance. But un-
der the law of variation, the ability to
extend exclusive control over material
objects is subject to unlimited grada-
tion. This is the primary, but not the
only, source of differences in material
conditions.
Much depends on circumstances for
which the individual is not responsible.
In some cases opportunities for acqui-
sition are much more numerous and
favorable than in others. Still more,
however, depends on personal charac.
teristics. In many instances men have
passed from the ranks of the poor and
gained standing among the rich de-
spite exceedingly adverse circumstan-
ces. Besides differences in physical
and mental ability, immense diversi-
ties are found in those motive powers
which determine how ability shall be
employed. With some men energetic
activity is spontaneous, while in other
men the current of life is naturally
sluggish. Some fix their aims on re.
mote objects, and disregard all oppor-
tunities for fleeting qualifications, while
others live only for self-indulgence
from day to day. Men differ greatly
as to the strength of their desire to &C
cumulate property. With one it be-
comes an all-controlling passion, ex
tinguishing all generous impulses
banishing all high principles, and in
capacitating the individual for ele
waited enjoyments. Another aims only
at a moderate competence and ability
to provide for the needs of those who
are dependent upon him. His hear
responds to the prayer of the sacred
writer, "Give me neither poverty no.
riches" Not few deliberately re
nounoe the possibility of acquiring
wealth, in order that they may be use
} full to their fellow-man or crafty thei
} thirst for knowledge. They feel al

WHEN THE COWS COME HOME.

The light on the mountain falls asant,
The birds in the bush are still;
The cricket chirpS in the pasture plant
When the cows come over the hill.
The swallows circle about the caves.
A pale star mounts the sky;
The squirrels rustic the golden Sheaves
When the cows are passing by.
Over the valley the shadows creep.
Dark'ning the green of the pine;
Down in the garden the hOneybeeS sleep,
Missing the breath of the kline.
The tinkle of bells is sweet to my ear,
But Sweeter the words of song
That the singer is slowly bringing near
AS she follows the cows along.
She sings of lover whose faith is fast
Wherever his footsteps roam;
And her cheek grows red when we meet at
last,
AS the cows are nearing home.
