A Trinity of Dangers.

The trinity of dangers which the re-
public has to fear are immortality, in
differentism, and fanaticism. Immor-
ality produces one or the other, accord
ing to temperament. Unfortunately.
In the body polite, indifferentism and
fanaticism do not antidote each other.
The one is dry rot; the other, combus-
ton and swift destruction. Men who
love them country enough to be glad
to serve it, and are wise enough to
steady it; who honor the law, and
therefore are careful what laws they
enact men who can hasten ultracon-
servatives without losing their hold
upon them. and are able to check fa-
natics without driving them to riot
Gus extremes men who discern where
reform ends and destruction begins,
who wish to possess only what they
can assimilate and beneicially govern
these in each generation can save the
State, and these only.-Century.

brightest part of the flame will be in
direct line with the center OF the re-
Hector and the condensing lenses.
The principle of the magic lantern Is
the reflection of the light through the
condensing lenses, which pick up all
the light possible and throw 1t through
the slide, which is located directly In
front of It. The light is then taken up
by the protector, and the pencils of
light are thrown 10 the screen, at the
same time magnifying the picture. This
principle is shown by the dotted lines
in Fig 6, which show also the relative
position OF the lamp, lenses and re-
fiector

Wild Range of the Moose.

The range of the moose In North
America is OF enormous extent, from
Nova Scotia in the extreme east,
throughout Canada and certain of the
Northern United States, 10 the limits
of tree growth In the west and north
Of Alaska. Throughout this vast ex-
tent OF territory but two species are
recognized. the common moose, Alces
americanus and the Alaskan moose,
Alces gigas, Of the Renal peninsula;
but it is probable that further explora-
ton will bring TO light another species
near the head waters of the Laird
River and the Cassiar Mountains of
British Columbia, and still another
further north In the neighborhood Of
the Colville River.

French Law for Travellers.

English spanking travellers are likely
to be imposed upon by French trades
men unless they are familiar with
their rights and liabilities under the
laws of France.
French dressmakers especially are
very apt to try to make unwary trav-
elers take ill-fitting garments. A case
of this kind recently occurred in Paris.
A certain Nine. Gianaclis had ordered
dresses to the amount of thirty-four
hundred francs and. after many try
ings-on and numerous delays, she re-
fused to receive them, as they still did
not fit. The dressmaker nevertheless
sent them on with the bill In full. and
on refusal of payment, attached Nine
Gianaclls' entire wardrobe. Nine
Gianaclis, in order to save her ward
robe, was obliged to pay the three
thousand three hundred and ninety five
francs over TO the court officer But
when the case was heard iii court the
Judge not only ordered the three thous-
and three hundred and ninety five
mulcted the dressmaker in good
round sum for damages. and assessed
upon her the court costs. He held that
when a woman customer goes to a
dressmaker who claims experiences. she
has right to demand well-titting gar
ments, within reasonable time, and
without tedious alterations.

EPISODE OF REVOLUTION
Where Is Oak Box Sent by Earl of
Buchan to Mashirgtonl


Our attention has been drawn to a
very interesting episode in connection
with Scotland and the great republic
Of the West, says the Scottish Patriot
Of Edinburgh 1t seems that the Earl
of Buchan. the friend aud patron OF
Robert Burns, was SO delighted with

from the oak that sheltered Sir VIII
lam Wallace after the battle of Fal-
kirk The letter which we suhioin
from Lord Buehan will explain The
story better than we can tell ii. But
we are left to solve an interesting
problem, and we appeal to any of our
American friends who can help us 10
solve Ii, and that is, to whom did Gen
eral Washington give the box and in
whose possession is it now? The letter
Is as follows:
"Dryburgh Abbey. June 2S, 1191.-
Sir: To use your own emphatic words:

freedom as is consistent with the safe

pleased to continue your life and
strength as long as you may be in any
way useful to your country
II have intrusted this sheet, inclosed
In box made of the oak that sheltered
our great Sir William Wallace after
the battle of Falklrk, to Mr.. Robert
son of Aberdeen, with the hope of his
having the honor of delivering ii into
your hands and meeting with your pro-
lection as an honest man seeking for
bread and for fame in the new world
by the exercise of his talents.
This box was presented to me by

expressive present, | requested and OBJ

NIT it, requesting of you to transmit
1t, on the event of your decease to the
man in your own country who shall ap-
pear to your Judgment to deserve it

that have induced me to send IT to
your excellency. With the highest es-

INDIVIDUAL SALVATION NOT WANTED.
BY fhe Rev. John watson t'Isn aacI.

The old principle of every man for himself Is
dying out from national politics, from the organi-
cation Of commerce from the life OF society and
Is bound to die out from religion Dying people
of, say 1850, were solely concerned with the
question OF what would become of themselves on
the other side; dying men OF to-day forget them
selves In thinking OF what il to become of their
wives and children. Appeals to the individual to
