A new Boston idea is the formation of
classes for the political education of
women. A club of ladies tako up text
hooks on political history and economy,
study thorn carefully, and discuss the
topics at their meeting. The subject has
attracted the favorable attention of prom-
inent men in Boston, and they are aiding
the ladies in various ways. Recently
Professor W. T. Harris lectured before
the class on “The True Function of the
State.” His lecture inoluded a range of
subjects from anarchy to the competitive
system. _
Some queer methods are resorted to in
Europe to discover the existence of So-
cialists. In Belgium recently a revolu-
tionary circular was received by hun-
dreds of workingmen. They read tho
circular and some of them expressed
sympathy with Ik Presently numbers
of them were arrested. At the trial it
was proved that spies of the Belgian
government had prepared the circular
and distributed ik Before being issued
for circulation it had been read and ap-
proved by no lees a personage than the
Belgian minister of the interior himself.
The circular had been an infamous trap
to catch the unwary. These facts were
brought out so unmistakably in court
that the tablet were turned. The spies
were themselves arrested for issuing the
circular. _.
French Bights In Newfound land
Waters.
Here Is something scarcely anybody in
the United States knows: Of the vast
possessions Frapce had In America one
hundred and fifty years ago, one insig-
nificant speck remains. This is the Mi-
quelon islands, an Infinitesimal group
near Newfoundland. With these islands
France has still held fast to certain fish-
ing privileges on the Newfoundland
coask The fishing privileges have been
a bone of contention between the Now-
foundlanden and 'France for many
years. Treafr rights copn t for little
with Newfoundland fishermen, who
neither know nor care what was done
more than a century ago. They are
determined to drive French fishermen
from their shores. British man-of-war's
men are constantly employed in these
waters protecting the rights of France
against their own countrymen. It is
rather an unusual state of affairs.
Going It Alone.
Already there begins to arise from
summer resorts that cry in the text of
the old Hard Shell sermon: “Meif is
(cures and woman is plenty ” Girls ars
good and pretty, and with wardrobes gor-
geous to look upon, but alas! there are no
young men to appreciate it all. It is the
same old story. The boys beet worth
having are too poor to go to summer re-
sorts and wear six costumes a day. It
really does seem as if all the civiliza-
tion was becoming like England and
Massachusetts, where there are not men
enough to go around. Possibly in time
a large per cent of American girls will
have to go without husbands. Looking
ahead to that time, a good many seem
already preparing for ik They are form-
ing clubs of their own, and going on
long, delightful excursions, to the sea
shore and to the mountains, in parties
composed only of women. Long rides
and tramps in the country are pleasanter
when there are men along, of oourse,
but they can be made very jolly with-
ouk In cities women In the trades
and professions rent flats and go to
housekeeping in a dainty and delightful
way. They seem quite happy, apparent-
ly ceasing altogether to look for the hazy
hero who is expected to come into every
woman’s life as a disturbing element.
Too Many Lawyers. i |
In the United States there are 70,<XX>
lawyors, about one lawyer to every 000
inhabitants. In France there is only one
lawyer to over 6,000 people. In Ger-
many the proportion is about the same (
us in France. »
Mr. David Dudley Field, now past 80
years old, is of opinion that giany of the
disreputable practices alleged against
lawyers are due to the fact that the pro-
fession is overcrowded. They must do
things not strictly in the line of profes-
sional honor, quit the profession or
starve. There are so many of them that
competition has given rise to the prac-
tice of soliciting business. Law offices
often now have their regular professional
drummerB, like hotels or railway lines.
In case of kcondolous stories getting into
publication about difficulties between
married people, these drummers have
been known to call on the injured bus-
band or wife and offer to obtain a di-
vorce with neatness and dispatch.
Mr. Field says the lawyer who solicits !
divorce cases should bo treated us an
enemy of the human race. Another de-
plorable practice is that of di.viding've- i
suits with a client.
The great number of lawyers does not
facilitate law business by any means
There are too many courts as well as too j.
many lawyers. Litigants can appeal and
keep appealing till a case if dragged out
like that of Myra Clarko Gaines, for j
fifty-five years. The wholo machinery j
of the law is so heavy and cumbersome ;
that there is safety only in keeping out i
of it. __

A Corner of Paradise.
Four thousand miles west of the Chili
coast in the South Pacifio is Pitcairn’s
Island. The story is known to every
school child how, in 1789, nine white
men, mutineers from the English ship
Bounty, settled Pitcairn’s Island, taking
with them dusky wives from Tahiti.
Being mutineers, they took pains to leave
no trace behind whereby they could be
pursued.
Nothing was known of them till 1808,
when an American captain, Folger, vis-
ited the island and was surprised to find
it inhabited by a light race, who spoke
excellent English. They were tho de-
scendants of the nine mutineers, and
were a handsome, peaceful, civilized
people. The island is Very small, only
two and one-quarter miles long and one
mile wide, and became overpopulated,
but thirty-two years ago part of tho in-
habitants migrated to the neighboring
island of Norfolk.
On Pitcairn Island there are now 117
persons. It was recently visited by
Capk Bunn, of the American ship Mika-
do. The people ore tho happiest on the
globe. They have no money, and the
land is owned in common, each cultivat-

and is a garden of dslicious fruits and

manners of courteous, high bred gentle-
men. There is no liquor on the island
and no tobeooo. They are governed,
such as it is, by a magistrate, elected

and fish to Oept Bunn, but declined to
receive money in return. Money was of

Everywhere are reconstruction, iin |

ty to tho king and queen. The difficul-
ties that still beset Italy aro danger of
war with other countries, the question \
of temporal sovereignty for tho pope

the nation staggers. The first difficulty

The national Italian debt is today os
great as that of the whole United States I
in 1871, and the taxes are at the danger
point. The Italians themselves might
adjust this debt, as tho French did j
theirs, by taking tho government loan. (
Tho Dissecting Propensity.
Following the case of Mind Reader
Ilishop conics from Paris tho story of
man who died in a strange way at Chan-
tilly, near Paris. Physicians examined
him and pronounced -him dead. They
prepared for an autopsy. Tho supposed
dead man was stretched upon tho table,
and tho disserting knives were used.
One or two strokes had been given, when
suddenly tho subject sat upright, opened
his oyos, looked around him an instant,
luid foil back dead indeed. He had been
in a cataleptic trance. The touch of the
sharp instruments had in tho same in-
stant brought him back to consciousness
and destroyed his life.
Of course the dissecting table, with all
Us ghastly accompaniments, is necessary
to give students a knowledge of surgery
and anatomy. But it may also be that
familiarity with dissecting room scenes
destroys to somo extent in the minds of
physicians the snqred regard for the hu-
man body, living or dead. It was not
quite without reason, perhaps, that butch-
ers were forbidden by the old English
law to sit on a jury that tried a man for
his life.

Greeley’s Uiiiiubltahcd Letters.
Some documents of much historic
value have been given to the public by
Mr. Charles A. Dana, of Tho New York
Sun. They consist of thirty-three private
letters written (k.v Horace Greeley to Mr.
Dana At that time Dana was managing
editor of Tho Tribune. The letters refer
largely to tho£onduct and policy of the
paper. They range over the years 1855 to
1859. Ail but three aro written from
Washington. Greeley was thero as the
correspondent of his own paper.

large eity to live in in the United .Stales.
In tint letters crop out tho same honesty

that gave the sledgehammer blows of
Tho Tribune editorial page. Unsays of

Giordano Bruno.
Feb. 7, 1600, Giordano Bruno, tho Ital-
ian enthusiast and free thinker, was
burnt at the stake on the Campo Dei
Fiori, at Rome, for heresies. His ashes
were, by official order, scattered towards
the four quarters of the globe. His name
was in universal execration. But his
writings remained and had a powerful,
living Influence on such minds as
of Spinoza, Leibnitz, Lessing and Goethe.
This May, 280 years after his death, a
magnificent monument is unveiled to
Giordano Bruno on the Campo Dei Fiori,
at Rome, on the very spot where he was
burned. It was dosigned by one of bis
own fellow countrymen, Ettore Ferrari,
a famous sculptor. It will be one of the
beautiful monuments in Rome. Stran-
gers will come from all nations to gaze
on and admire tho enduring marblo feat-
ures. So the world changes.

American Machinery in Paris.
One-third of all the space in the ma-
chinery hall In Paris is occupied by
American inventions. The hall itself is
the largest building ever enclosed under
ono roof, boing over a quarter of a mile
ng. Tho power required to run the
lachinery in this huge building is four
times os much as was supplied to the
French exhibition qf 1878. '
One of our supposed model machines
is a contrivance for salting and coloring
dairy butter. But as Europeans do not
uso salted butter and do not liko it, tlie
French have invented an equally skillful
contrivance for taking tho salt all out
again. Both machines aro on exhibition,
and tho spectator can take his choice.
The exhibit of American inventive
genius nt Paris is certainly wonderful.
Wo have not, however, advanced very
greatly in tho matter of agricultural ma-
chinery since 1878. Other nations have
caught up several of our mochanical
ideas and impr6ved on them till they
sometimes surpass tho original designs.
American ideas, in one form or auother,
pervade tho machinery of all nations in
tlie exhibit, Margaret Sullivan writes.
This is especially true of steam engines,
machine tools, metal working, making
paper bags and wood working machinery.
America is the only country except
Great Britain that shows improvement In
printing machinery. For all nations, the
electrical inventions nro tho most nu-
merous and interesting.
In this field it is gratifying to know
that threo American inventors hold the
first placo. They aro Edison, A. Gra-
ham Bell and Professor Elihu Thomson.
Tho last is a new name, but ono which
will become probably os familiarly
known as either of tlie other two. Pro-
fessor Thomson has discovered how lo
amalgamate metals by electrical process.
Metals that will fuse in no other way
yield to bis proceM, whioh promises very
important results.
At tbo Paris exposition Edison lias 493
Inventions, representing most of his dis-
coveries. His display covers 9,900 sqiinrc
feet. ,
Tho American phonograph is the won
der and delight of European visitors.
There are phonographs which answer

nation in their own languago. In eloc-
trical Inventions it is interesting to note
that the French tend especially to pure
science, while Amerloans occupy partic-
ularly the field of industrial arts.
