An Educational Era.

Old conditions, old fogy notions,
traditions and superstiti rs are be-
ginning to be things OF the past, are
even now a fading memory, the or
CARNATIONS and parties that have
based their success upon their ira
ditjons" must change front, must
keep in the direction that leads 10
the anelioration Of the condition of
the masses, must conform to mod
ern ideas, must fall in line on all
great reforms that are demanded by
the people. The days Of quihbling.
OF decieving the people, OF buying
votes, of selling out, OF legislating
for monopolies, of betraying trusts
are mum bered. In few years the
entire political system will be
changed, the people are beginning
to realize the true condition of af-
fairs, and that tho old political or
CARNATIONS, both of them, are res
ponsible for the conditions that con
front us now. The representative
system will not stand the test, there
are too many temptations surroup-
ding this form OF government. Ali
of the representative republics Of
the world have failed to stand the
test of Time, vicious legislation, be-
trayal of confidence, and corrupt Of
ficials, all tended to bring on the
disruption Of the republics and the
establishing of monarchical forms
of government. No representative
government has ever withFtood the
assaults of internal foes, corruption
in high places has been the canker-
worm that has eaten out the vitals
of all republics and is at work in
our own and vii! ultimately destroy
this republic unless our people
adopt direct legislation, whereby
they will have all legislative power
in their own hands, thus doing
way with this (mis) Representative
system. The Swiss people are wise.
and in their wisdom have institu
ted form of government that will
endure forever, it contains the very
essence of all that is conducive t.
the happiness Of its people. 1t is
founded on Humanitarian and equal
rights principles. In that country,
inhospitable though it is, the peo-
pie are happy and contented, and
sou will find a less number OF them
leaving their native land, than OF
any other people, from the fact that
they have just laws, made by direct
legislation, and municipal and gov
ernmental ownership of railways,
telegraph and telephone lines, and
their government will soon own al
of a public character. In so lar as
government ownership is concerned
the United States is away behind

TO MY DEAR.

I'm weary OF life to night my dear,
And am yeal'ning to clasp thee to my
heart,
# could but feel thy presence near,
And know that we never again should

When the shades of night are closing
around,
And the Heavenly angels ara singing

IT'S now feel my heart to thee is bound.
I'm praying for my dear one tonight

And the shadows are creeping DER.
I'm waiting for the Father to call us,
when beyond all life's trials We'll be
parted no more.

When Pm thinking of thee, away so far;
But I'll trust to the one that is far above,

A Rocky Combination.

"Maried at Flintstone, by Rev.

This is getting mighty rocky
and there's bound to be blasting

The need OF postal savings banks
is becoming more apparent every
day, and many good and great men
are now urging its adoption. Sever.
al bills have been prepared, some by
leading republicans, for this meri-
torious measure, and although 1t is
a populist creation they see great
good init and viii urge its passage at
the next session of congress.
The democrats are holding aloof,
they like populist measures when
they are calculated to land them in
Office, more especially tie small-fry
politicians who have only self ag
grandizement in view. The only
serious opposition will be by the
banks.

NEAR AUeUsTA, H., there are two pecn-
liar wells, each OF which deserves special
mention in department devoted to ac-
counts of things out OF the ordinary.
The first is a bott0mless welI''--oue
which was SUM-, down until the immense
running underground river was struck.
The second is well in which the water
remains frozen winter and summer.
These two wonders, each of which may
properly be referred to as"combined
natural and artificial curiosities," are
located at distance OF about a mile and
half apart. The frozen well is only
about ten feet in depth, that Of the other

EXTRAORDINARY LAKE PHENoMENA.--
Father Tossi, who recently made q tour OF
Alaska, describes some extraordinary
phenomena connected with small lake,
named Selawel5. situated near the sea
shore. Tides rise and fall in the lake,
perhaps on account of an underground
connection with the sea. AT the bottom,
ne says, the water is salt, but on the top
there il a layer OF sweet water Hot
springs exist in the lake, and around
these the water does not freeze, but they
are surrounded by circular walls of ice,
sometimes three feet in height.

A clock which runs forty years.-A
clock which the maker believes will run
foty years with one winding has been in
vented by Chicago man. The mechan-
ism is composed of brightly-burnished
aluminium rods, slowmoving cog-wheels
and many tiny, quick-inoving cog
balance wheels, which tick ceaselessly
and merrily away under the large oval
glass case which covers them. 1t has been
running now about a year and never been
touched, save to undergo slight regula-
ton during the first weeks.
