born contest of this century, markt; A °racial

Um new policy lasting and fruitful, the
politicians and elcatere \vim eve reeponsible
for placing it in power must not minimize
the great change they have made. The
majority is sufficient ; but it will bear no
half measures or temporizing spirit. If the
collapse foretold by the Tories ia to be
averted, it will ilaNO to be done by a policy
of thorough. carried out by draStie, and
perhaps, novel ineehinery. As to the prin-
ciple of Home Rule, that is secure --finally
and. irrevocably settled. For more than
six years the whole political energy of all
politicel waders hem centred. round this
dominant question. There never has been
:in English history any political issue which
has been so absorbing; so exciting, so ex-
haustively fought out in every corner of
the three kingdoms. For the first time the
whole adult male population have a great,
issue forced on them, driven ieto their
minds, explained, argued out, and illus-
trated sewn ad sir/enema—and they have
°even their answer.
It is mere swagger to talk about the
`House of Lords throwing out the Bill year
:after year; and the claim of the poem to
give the nation an opportunity of daddies;
a direct issue is an ienpunent trick. The
.nation has, with Malec toil, decided a
direct issue, and will not stand trifling.
No direoter issue will be suffered then
what has been already judged ; and no
Ministry will be overturned, or oven
shaken, by anything the peers can do. On
the contrary, it gmetly rstreugthened.
Mr. Gladstone has given a formal pledge
that an adverse vote of the Lords will not
force him either to dissolve or to resign.
Let it be distinctly uuderstood, as an
essential part of t'ne Liberal programme,
that the rejection of the Home It 13ill
by the peers will be followed neither oy
diesolution nor resignation.—but by a Bill
for the Superannuation. of the House of
Lords—and we shall hoar little of the peers
rejectirig the Bill.
We shall have a howl from the profeesors,
the lawyers and the journalists that this is
unconstitutionel, illegal, revolutionary, and
the like. But we have got so mucb accus-
tomed to their railing that we do nob pay
much attentiou to it. Let us now try acts
and leave words to them. Now that we
have a Herne Rule Goverument in °patrol
of the Ezecutive, with a Home Rule
majority in the Hoose, and a Horne Rule
majority in the nation, it will go hard if a
mesolate Executive, with the whole 'lathed tv
of the State and the people at it back,
.cannot bring a few peers to their is.uees.
There is alweye the last resource of Prime
Ministere—creations. A regiment of life-
gusaclemen merched into the House—nob
like Orcenwell's to stop debate, but to take
their seats as peers on the Ministerial eide
—would be a dramatic end of a taugled
situatioa. jesting apart, creatioas ea°
possible ; and if the Crown were to hesitate,
the Crown itself -would beinstamtlymenced
by public opinion.

tively, closure Lbw'. It was done for coer-

be done far more drastically—fairly, hon-

that a fired time--sam three weeks Mx a maxi-

be recce:mom to fix satiate ihnib for speeches

nights, for bill as finally drafted. In this
way it would pass before Easter.
We home now come to e turideg-point in
mir.coustitutional history, at which the
House of Peers must do exactly as the
Crown has done—surrender its veto in
practice—or elm suffer what the Crown has
auffereci, tool tisk a revolution. The Com-
mons also have their technical rights. It
is true that the Peers have a technical right
to reject any and all Bills. But the Min-
istry iu power also has a techuical right to
.aclvise the Crown to create Peers, and it
,could elevate 500 sweeps to the Peerage, by
the assent) of the Crown. And if the
.Crowit did not aseeut, the House of Com-
enoas ha8 technic:al eight to refuse supplies
and arrest the machitery of Government.
.It is idle to talk about technical rights.
There are technical rights on both sides.
.And the exercise of thesi rights on the
popular side seems neither absurd nor
possible to to men who have got rid of the
glamour of the " theatric " part of our
Constitution, and who see nothing but ab-
surdity in this nation being under the heel
of Lord Salisbury and his friends. Tho long
and the shaft of it is that the Peere must
give way—or go. And, of course, give way
they will.

We have read how the coffin of Moham-
med was poised without eripport in the
mosque of the faithful, from whittle all
unbelievers seems so rigidly excluded ; no
material support was necessary to sustain
the remains of the prophet, tho body itself
eeemed ever on the point of folloiving the
cleparten spirit to the realms of bliss. A
perenuial miracle was indeed necessary to
sustain the revered earcopliagus in span.
The infidel, no doubt, is Nomewhat ekeptical
about thie marvelous phenomenon, and now,
as ever, the truth is stranger than fiction.
Far over our heads there is a vast globe
ltrger and heavier than millions of sumo.
phagi ; no material eupport is rendered to
that globe, yet there it is sustained from
clay to day, from year to year, from cen-
tury to century.
Mat is it that prevents the moon Eal-
ing? That is the question which now lies
before us. It is easuredly the case that
the earth continually attracts the moon.
The effect of the attraction is not, however,
shown in actuelly drawing the moon closer
eo the earth, for thie, as we have seen, does
not happen, but the attraction of the earth
keeps the moon from going further away
from the earth than it would otherwise do.
Suppose, for instance, that the attraction
of the earth were suspended, the moon
would no longer follow its orbit, but would
start off in a straight line ia continuation of
the direction in which it was moving at the
momeut when tho earth's action was inter-
oepteda
What Newton did was to show, from the
ciremnstances of the moon's distence ancl
movement, that it was attracted by the
earth with a force of the same description
OS that by which the same globe attracted
the apple, the difference beieg that the
intensity of the force becomee weaker the
greater the distance of the attracted body
from the earth. In fact, the attraction of
the earth on a ton of matter at the distance
of the moon would be withstood by an exer-
tion not greater than that which would
enifice lo sustain about three-quarters of it
pound et the surface of the earth.—Good

She Cared Villa
" When I was 30," remarked as old fel.
low of 70 to a lot of youngsters, who were
mutating their domestic experiences, " I
martiect a belle of the county, and she was
a lively GOO, I tell you. She was about 25
and had. a convincing way with her that
was a caution. I had been one of tbe boys
and she knew it, but that didn't hold her
back a bit. We were in love with each
other, and she was willing to run all the
risks. For the first, three months I did
very well, and then I began to steer out
just a little later than before, and still a
little later, but Hettie never said a word.
One night I got in abort 3 o'clock and, as
usual, she was asleep, and I crept in with-
out disturbing her, though I was three
hours later than any time I had got in since
I was married. The next morning Hattie
was as bright as a dollar."
" What time did you get in last night,
Tom ?'' she asked at breakfast.
" Oh, along about midnight," I replied,
evasively.
" Worse than that," she laughed.
" "Maybe it was a little later," I coe-
fessed.
" It was aboat 3, wasn't it ?" she asked,
with the air of a person who knew what she
eves talking about.
"Oh, no, not quite so bed as thee," I
hastily protested.
"It must have been, Tom," she insisted,
" for it was half pe.st 2 before I got. in, and
I was dead asieeel when you came.
"It was my time to make a few remarks
theo, but I didn't make them. I confessed
to 3 o'clock, and from that day to this I've
been in by 9 o'clock, and I don't know yet
whether she was fooling me or not. Good
night. It's a quarter to 9," ancl the old

dered shoes were oE richer material
than one often sees !sae from the mem-
bers of the legation, Their kite was of
the famous dragon pattern, and from
the ground looked the exact counterpert of
a huge red aud white lizard twenty or thirty
feet long, with a staring head, blue whiskers
and a waving.tail of flaming red cloth that
laehed about 3a a wildly excited rev. The
monster cut all sorts of strange antics. For
a while it would lie still, straight and rigid
except for the ceaseless movement of the
red tail, Then it would begin to undulate
like a great water -snake, and, darting about
the sky, strain et its tether, threatening to
crawl clown the chimney of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and then, chang-
ing its mind, mount away heaveiewerd again
with a snaky quiver throughout its whole
length.
The little Chinamen in a lilac silk shirt,
who was engineering the ground end of the
kiteditring„ seemed to heve some occult un-
derstanding with his strange pet, in virtue
of which it obeyed his slightest motion. A
slight turn of his slender, brown wrist
would send the creature mounting upward
into space, and at a sweep of hie arm it
would go through a whole mrial circus act.
Ib pulled like a demon, too, and after
capering around on his feet with it for half
an hour in the etiff breeze, the Post says,
its master was glad enough to sit down on
the big ball of string on the ground and let
his arm have a rest.
But the most remarkable part of the per-
formance came when one of the kite -flyers
produced a light bamboo frame covered
with rice paper, which unfolded in the
shape of a butterfly. A pack of fire -crack-
ers was attached to it, and when it was
hung on the string of the kite it crawled
steadily upward 1511 within a few feet of
the dragon's head, when the orackers went
off with a bang and the framework folded
up and slid back down the string.
When finally tired of their sport), the
Orientals hauled in the monster, and as it
lay on the ground its construction could. be
clearly noted. Ib had a grotesque face,
with a gaping mouth and windmill eyes
that blinked with a rotary motion. The
body was made up of twenty or thirty of
the lightest discs of rice paper, varying
from ten to three inches ia "disaneter, and
stretched on delicate bamboo hoops and
hitched tandem a foot or more apart. The
whole was wonderfully light, but when ex-
tended presented a surface to the air that

feast of kites. That came on Sept. 9th, said
there would probably be more dragons aloft

good time, and, as one of them remarked

had spent coneiderable time in Asiatic ports
when enolera Wag prevalent. On several

the best preventive. Surgeon N. Mel?.

during an epidemic of cholera, chains that
the wide flannel belts worn by the " blue-

the disorders that load to cholera. The
welting of these wide flannel bands aboue the
waist is regarded by many as a "sailor
superstition,. but at least one good effect is
seen here. The excellent bygienic precau-
tion taken on our meet -of -war have kept
the crews in good health in ports where
epidemics were raging in all countries, from

Every women should strive hard to avoid
morbidness and melancholy. Never imagine
yourself neglected, for in order to have
other people think well of you. you must
think well of yourself. An under -valuation
implies discontent with yourself, a went of
courage, anct it is simply 00 timidity that
ishoale be corrected. Right here a word ia
regard to jealousy is apropos. Every time
you are in the least; inclined to be given
over to its pangs, remember that jesdousy
is practically an acknowledgment of inferi-
ority, and is not therefore consistent with
your scheme of thinking well of yourself.

The prepondering prevalence of pie eating
in New England is morespecially noticeable
in the section north of a line running from
the New York border, near Rutland, Vt.,
through Bellows' Falls aoross New Hamp-
shire to Bath, Mo. Above this line the
peasantry universally eat pie for breakfast.
Whatever may be the consumption of this
article in other sections of the East, the use
of it at the first meal of the day is only
observed in the region noted. The pie line

The Girls Must .1Snswer.
Noting the healthfulness, beauty and in-
telligence of the yobng Jewesses met with
in society, as contrasted with the prevail-
ing type of American girl and her bundle -
of -nerves characteristics, the Troy Press,
asks some pertinent questions.
How far is the beauty of the Jewisle
maiden aud later her robust health as the
mother of a large family, due to abate-
iniousnese of the parents from dangerous
food and stimulents, and how far can
the American girl trace her nervousness
to a midaight banqueting and an
unexercising mother, and to aix over-
stbnulated and under -rested father?
Again, is it half-clad costuming and rounds
of merely exciting pleasure? or is it a
certain amount of attention to 'regular,.
daily, perhaps household duties, which
develop a healthy body and a mental
balance?
The Troyerneess asks us to "look at the
American girls. They are bundles of nerves
slight, beaubflul perchance, but their beautyr
is fleeting. They do not enjoy good health,.
