and his conquests through being civilised and refined into the gilded driveller of the Greek Empire, who died at last of knowledge and Imbe- cility and incurable old age. The same process has been repented a dozen times until the present day, when the Russian-the kowling barbarian of the first century translated into the nine teenth-is the bugbear of Europe, and threatens ere long to tread down the old civilisations of the West, and start the world afresh. The progressive nations of that continent have spent all the long ages of the Christian era in formulating the first rudiments of a theory to make life worth having, and the prospects are that they will not last long enough to make any use of knowledge thus acquired. A thousand ager might possibly suffice to teach the world the advantages of universal peace and union, if any nation cared to undertake the task, but long before that period the teachers would be extinct and the races which were learning the lesson would have died and carried the rudiments of thele new knowledge with them to the grave. And, moreover, man bas no time to waste on so sina method, and It is a shorter process to teach the uncivilised millions the blessings of tranquillity and liberty by blowing up any person who won't be tranquil, and hanging the individual who desires his own kind of liberty instead of the sort that is offered to him. And so the world will progress towards frederation until the boiler bursts, and barbarism will move on toward extinction till the barbarian rises and declines to be civilised to death any longer, and the grand theory of universal pesce and union will probably wind up la universal war and chaos.
The era of universal peace will never be brought about by violence; neither does it seem likely that it will ever brought about in any other way. What the uncivilised world has learned of the blessings of unlon and universal brotherhood it has been taught by the sword; and knowledge to acquired does not amount to much. The chances are that it would never have been acquired by any other means, and yet, having been acquired in the only available fashion, it is not worth having. The human capacity for rising to a civilised condition is palafully limited, and the capacity for falling from it is practically infcite. The spread of knowledge and enlightenment has been comparatively rapid of late years, because the apostles of culture and Christianity have developed an unexpected facility of extirpating
·unenlightened races; there has been no wide or general diffusion of culture, but merely a rough and ready process of butchering those peoples which the world was in too great a hurry to improve or elevate. Judging from what little remains of the Australian bläckfellow, the Red Indian, the Kafir, the Hottentot, and other tribes in similar circumstances, civilisation is not contagious, and if there is ever to be a millennium

prepis will count the hacks in a funeral pro cessión. Few girls will read the marriage service entirely through in the face of the awful and mysterious superstition that this indulgence. destroys hope of marriage. We don't call the fortune-teller the priest of Apolio, the war charmer a witch. There is a change of name the fact lingers. We are still superstitious..
All the generations that have passed have. accumulated and handed down to us A VAST number of superstitions, Each country bas furnished its share, and probably the most of them data from the time when the human race was still in its Asiatic cradle.
Birth, marriage and death are the three most important events in every life. Hence the Auguries of these three events have been most eagerly sought and most carefully remembered. Death being the most dreadful, comes in for the largest share. One of the best ways given us of avoiding it, when mortal sickness is upon us, is to allow the report to be circulated that you are already dead. The chances are strongly in favor of getting well. Especially la this so if friends begin to arrange for the funeral. A site sign of early death is for a person to scatter the leaves of a red rose upon the ground. It is extremely hazardous to an infant's life to pare fta nails before it in a year old. They should be bliten off, or the grand-dams will not answer for the consequences.
So numerous are the dangerous superstitions about marriage that one could scarcely avold breaking some of them, In this observation the philosopher may find the solution of the question.
Why is menlage a failure? For instance, the bride must not try on her wedding gown, or ill- luck will follow. She must not look in the glass after she is fully dressed and ready for the ceremony. She must not enter her new home by stepping over the threshold, but must be carried over it by one of her relatives. A piece
of the bride's cake must be broken over her head as soon as she is safely on the other side. it is very unlucky for her to be in a happy state on her wedding day. She must be as dolorous as possible, violent fits of weeping being expecially beneficial.
It is a good idea for the brides-maids to throw away as many pins as possible on the wedding day, as this will basten marriage. The bride should throw away her slipper fa leaving the wedding feast, and she who catches It will be the first married. The month of May is generally conceded to be the most unfortunate for mar- riages. The lucky months are January, April, August, October and November. January is expecially lucky.
Lovers should carefully,"avoid passing a sharp or polated instrument from one to the other. Such things tend to cause quarrels. The wed- ding should be put off by all means if a cat species on the eve of the wedding day. It should

minary effort. But, unhappily, civilisation has brought up at last with a shock against one or two vast aggregations of semi-barbarians who are apparently too numerous to be killed, and too tough to die a natural death, and there the process has come to an end. The European has never learned how to civilie anybody; his methods have merely been those of Mr. Squeer who walloped any boy who failed to assume cheerful aspect; and, therefore, if a peaceful federation of man is ever to be brought about, the Chinaman and the negro and various other obstructions have got to be killed off as a preliminary. And, unhappily, this is a some-young girl wishes to obtain and preserve a what large order, and probably long before it is completed the European himself will have fallen from his present, bfgh estate and will also want to be wiped out as an obstacle to progress and enlightenment. And, for that matter, the European is remarkably poor material at the best out of which to construct a political and social millepotom, and it is probable that even the most advanced apostle of federation would require to be abolished before federation would be possible.

Even if the world should realise its dream of universal peace and concord, it will probably get tired of it in course of time; and revive the ancient chaos, and start the whole slow process of evolution all over again. If it abolishes monarchy in all its forms and acquires universal freedom and equality, the chances are that in, some future ern of senility and mental decay it will resurrect the ancient Incubus and commence the weary struggle for liberty aftesh, If it shakes off the tyranny of Capital, and abolishes poverty and strife, there is no possible guarantee that all these venerable burdens will not be replaced. upon its shoulders again by iti own act, only to be removed by the long effort of centuries of misery,, Rienzl gave, to the Romans of the middle-ages the freest constitu. tion which the world, up till then, had ever known, and the citizens of the new commonwealth butchered him to make way for the restoration of their ancient tyrants, France sacrificed one republic for the fake of Napoleon the Conqueror, and another for Napoleon the Imbecile the man of Mexico and Sedan. She was cheerfully prepared to sacrifice a third for Boulanger-the Braallest, meanest charlatan of his age, if that feathered warrior had afforded her the oppor tunity.
