Apparently the Martians have not vet
lost hope of attracting cur attention. for
at the opposition in 1894 there were vague

on Mars are not frozen water, but frozen

Many and varied have been the schemes
for signalling Mars. principally by means
of electric lights or the arrang ement of
geornetric figures upon the surface of the
earth.
At the opposition in 1894 it was an
nounced that Mr.. EDISON proposed con-

SupernuOus Talk.

The late Professor Huxley, who was
as shrewd an observer of men as he
was of nature, once remarked, after
falling into an indiscretion which an
nOyed him, that when a man says what
he has no need to say he is sure to
blunder. The truth of the observation
will hardly be questioned unless by the
very few, if there are any such, who
never say more than there is necessity
for saying. Most of us acknowledge, If
we review our own experience in the
matter, that we have frequently erred
by saying what needed not to be said
But why is it that people so persistent
ly commit this mistake? In the ordi-
nary small talk of the household or of
society it matters little whether it is
committed or not
But when serious matters are III
question, whether in conversation, in
set speech or In correspondence, q case
is frequently spoiled by irrelevance Ol
redundance. To say what you mean is
comparatively easy; to leave off wher
you have said it is difficult and fol
many people impossible. In Huxley's
case the fault, which he probably die
not often commit, was due neither t.
want of clear thinking nor to want o
facility in the use of words. One OF
the other or both of these causes will
explain the inability to keep to thu

the speech and writing of uneducate(
persons. But often, also, the speake

sideratiOns, interesting enough to him
self, are of no interest to those whom
he wishes to convince.

Slavery Protected the Negro.

If the negro had been forced to COM
pete for existence in America, he would
have been crushed out by the civilized
power, as the Indian has been, says
Albert Phelps in The Atlantic, but the
peculiar institution of slavery protect
ed him not only from this competition,
but also, by artificial means, from those
great forces of nature which inevitably
weed out the weaker organisms and
which operate most unrestrainedly up
on the ignorant savage. For the first
time, perhaps, in the history of the
world human beings had been bred and
regulated like valuable stock, will. as
much care as is put upon the best
horses and cattle. As a natural conse-
quence the sanitary condition of the
negro during slavery was remarkable,
especially by contrast with his present
condition, and his growth was the alb.
normal growth of a plant abnOrmally
raised in a hothouse. When, therefore,
this mass of helpless beings was
thrown upon it's own resources by the
act of emancipation and when the pro-
lection of slavery had been withdrawn,
the direst wretchednesS and suffering
followed.

A Brief Interview,

The late Rev. Il. S. Storrs was a very
hard man to interview, for he resented
the inquisitiveness of the press and was
icy to its agents.

course of the evening touched his arm
and whispered: Doctor, I'm from the

HIS REPROACH.

Are you too tender hearted to be true
True to your love, to me and your own soul Z
Will you for pity give what is loves due
And leave love lorn and begging for dole ?
Then pity Is thief that steals loves purse
To squander in dishonest charity;
Then love is outcast, with the exile's curse
Who sees his varlets loot his seigneury.
Is love so hard it recks not where l lie,
While pity melts at aught that he endures?
l deserve nothing, save that you ensky
No other with those vesper lips of yours;
I deserve nothing, but your love of me
Deserves of you the courage to be free.

The Average Lawsuit.

There is nothing more ridiculous than
the average lawsuit. Two men dispute
over a few dollars and go to law. Both
are sure to lose. Their, neighbors are
dragged in as witnesses, and the costs
amount to 10 or 20 times the amount in
dispute. Frequently these lawsuits
ruin families and start, quarrels that
last for years. Some men claim it is
principle" that actuates them in these
lawsuits. 1t is bullheadedness, pure
and simple. 1t is nearly always easy
to "split the difference"
Another bad feature about these law
suits is that the county is put to con-
siderable expense. and men willing to
work are compelled to sit on the jury.
Settle your disputes without going to
law. If the man with whom you are
disputing is not willing to "split the
difference" he will probably accept a
