A Darwinian Philosopher’» View» on Com ing Natural Selection. I believe that improvement will be effect ed through the agency of female choice in marriage.

They have no choice in the selection of TOXSORIAL PARLORS, practically their partnersand tbe fathers of their chil dren, and so long as this economic neces WILL LOGAN, Prop. sity for marriage presses upon the great bulk of women, men who are vicious, de For a Clean Shave or Fashionable Hair graded, of feeble intellect and unsound I Cut Give Him a Cali. bodie* vrjR j>«ure wlrja, and thuj Qftqn CITY BATHS perpetuate their infirmities and evil hab its. But in a reformed society the vicious man. the man of degraded taste or of fee ble intellect, will have little chance of find ing a wife, and his bad qualities will die out with Limself. On the other hand, the most perfect and beautiful in body and ruind, the men of spotless character and reputatiou, will secure w ives first, the less commendable later and the least commend able latest of all. As a natural conse quence, the best men and women will mar ry the earliest and probably have the larg est families. The result will be a more rapid increase of the good than of the bad, and this state of things continuing to work for successive generations will at length bring the average man up to the level of those who are now the more ad vanced of the race. Ou the whole, then, it is probable that in the society of the future the mortality of males will be less, owing to preventive measures in connection with dangerous and injurious occupations, so that the number of marriageable men will be equal to that of women. Add to this that there will be an increasing proportion of women who will prefer not to marry, and it is clear that men desiring wives will be in excess of women wanting busbauds. Thia will greatly increase the influence of w om en in the improvement of the race. Being in the minority, they will be more sought after and will have a real choice in mar riage, which is rarely the case now. Broadly speakiDg, I think we may trust the cultivated minds and pure Instincts of the women of the future in the choice of partners. The idle and the selfish would be almost universally rejected. The coarse and sensual man, the diseased or weak in intellect, those having a tendency to in sanity or to hereditary disease or who pos sess any congenital defoimity, would rare ly find partners, because the enlightened woman would know that she was commit ting an offense against society, against humanity at large, iu choosing a husband who might be the means of transmitting disease of body or mind to his offspring Thus it will come about that the lower types of men, morally and physically dis eased, will remain permanently unmarried and will leave no descendants, and the ad vance of the race in every good quality will be insured.—Alfred Russell Wallace in London Chronicle. A Detective’s Story. “The closest call I ever had,” said a detective,“ was in southern Indiana, where a posse of us had gone to capture some counterfeiters. There were five of us in the party, and as I had previously been over the ground and located the bonne I was deputed to watch the front while the others deployed in the rear, and we were to come together at a given signal and I make a rush for the house, which was a log cabin standing in an open field. It be gan to rain soon after we separated, and seeing a new weatherboarded bouse ahead of me and knowing that I was in the right neighborhood I concluded to stay there a few hours until after the rain subsided. There was no danger of the counterfeiters leaving. Knocking at the door, I was ad mitted. Inside were five men and a woman. They showed me up stairs to my room, and as the man who piloted me left I heard him turn the key in the door, and I knew that I was a prisoner. Then I saw that the house was of logs and had been recently weatherboarded. In a few minutes I heard them consulting together in the ball, and I felt that ray doom was being sealed. Dropping out of a small window at tbe end of the room, I reached my horse just as they discovered my escape, and the ball from a rifle whistled past my head as I mounted the horse. A regular fusillade followed, aud the bullets came close eDough for mu to hear them. But I succeeded ia reachlug my companions, aud we sur rounded the house just in time to catch them as they started home.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Manganese Steel. It is now ascertained that the strength and ductility of manganese 6tcel «re both increased by hastening the cooling of the metal. But in doing this in the case of casting it is necessary, according to the opinion of Mr. Howe, an experienced in vestigator, to take care that the rapid cool ing does not cause cracks at re-entrant an gles anil other weak spots. In forging in gots of the steel the temperature, he says, should bo raised gradually, as the metal conducts heat slowly. During forging, also, tbe metal acts like a carbon steel con taining 1.25 to 1.50 per cent of carbon and requires heavier blows than most steels Farther, it may be rolled hot into sheets .049 inch thick without special difficulty and with proper precautions to as thin as .014 inch thick. Cold it has been rolled still thinner, but requires frequent anneal ing. In machining it tbe hardest carbon or chrome steel is required, mushtl and other self hardening sorts being unsuita ble. Light cuts and very slow feeds are es sential, and as an estimate it takes four times as long to machine manganese steel as common carbon steel. In the employ ment of this metal for car wheels tests have shown an advantage of remarkable long runs, on an average, before turning —»even times, in fact, the average mileage of chilled cast iron wheels on the same line.—New York Sun.

Ho is a wealthy baukerand broker, a man of practical mind, unhampered by theories on any other subject but this, yet not for $1,000 could he be induced to walk upon tbe floor of tbe exchange wearing a hat of any other style or make. Nearly every dabbler in stocks has a mascot of some kind which is priceless. I remember meeting a well known specula tor up towu during one of the exciting days of the panic. “Why, what are you doing here?” I asked. “Why are you not in the street ?” “I am on my way home,” he replied. “I forgot my mascot, aud I won’t touch anything in the street until I get it. I’m going for it now and am in a great hurry. Goodby.” I have met another operator, a man of very practical and unromantic mind, who sets great store by a peculiar scarfpin. He admits that it is merely a superstition, but he would not dare to enter into specu lation on a day when he did not wear it. The fear of Friday is, however, the most universal superstition of the street. The great panic of 1869, when scores of wealthy men were ruined in a day, has been known in Wall street ever since as Black Friday. A broker who is a partner in one of the biggest houses in the street once de clared There are two things that lam superstitious about—one is Friday and the other is the number 13. Some months ago I came down to my office on Friday and tore the leaf off my calendar. To my hor ror the figure 13 stared me in the face. It was Friday and the 18th of the month. ‘Great heavens!’ I thought to myself, ‘now I’ll catch it sure!’ Within two hours I re ceived word thnt a Brooklyn elevator had burned, and that 50,000 bushels of grain, which we had stored there, had gone up in smoke. Then some stocks in which we were heavily interested went down three points.”—Munsey’» Magazine. A Snail’s Formidable Month. “It’s a fortunate thing for man and the rest of the animal kingdom,” said the naturalist, “that no large wild animal has a mouth constructed with the devouring apparatus built on the plan of tbe insig nificant looking snail’s mouth, for that an imal could outdevour anything that lives. Tbe snail Itself is such an entirely unpleas ant, not to say loathsome, creature to han dle that few amateur naturalists care to bother with it, but by neglecting the snail they miss studying one of the most inter esting objects that come under their ob servation. “Any one who has noticed a snail feed ing on a leaf must have wondered how such a soft, flabby, slimy animal can make such a sharp and clean cut incision iu the leaf, leaving au edge as smooth and straight as if it had been cut with a knife. That is due to the peculiar and formidable mouth he has. The snail eats with bis tongue and tbe roof of his mouth. Tbe tongue is a ribbon which tbe snail keeps in a coil in his mouth. Tbe tongue is in reality a band saw, with tbe teeth on the surface instead of on tbe edge. The teeth are so small that as many as 80,000 of them have been found on oue snail’s tongue. He can uncoil as much of this as be chooses, and the uncoiled part be brings into service. The roof of bis mouth is as hard as bone. He grasps the leaf between his tongue and that hard substance, and rasping away wit h his tongue saws through the toughest leaf with ease, always leav ing the edge very smooth and straight.”— New York Journal. Early Rising. The old idea of attributing special mo rality to early rising is a bygone, out of date maxim. Early to bed and early to rise Makes a mau healthy and wealthy and wise is a rhyme which has bad its day. A cer tain medical mau once discovered—with much statistical search—that he never found a case of extreme longevity unac companied by the habit of early rising, from which one might infer that they who rise late die early. But this would fail to take into account oue well known fact— the fact that most elderly people are early risers because they cannot sleep o’ morn ings. It is putting the cart before the horse, a reversal of cause and effect, to infer that people live to be old because they do not sleep late. Arranged iu logical sequence, the conclusion is that they do not sleep late because they are old, and it 1« folly for human beings to regulate their move ments on ornithological principles.—Phil adelphia Press.

Tbe mas ter of tbe shop laid hold upon him by the gorget, demanding pay for the smoke and steam of tbe roast goose. Tbe porter de murred. Tbe cook claimed that a portiob of the meal had clearly been made from the savor sniffed up and swallowed. It chanced while tbe discussion was go ing on that Seyny Jean, the fool, entered the shop, and the matter was referred to him. “Wilt thou eubmit to the judgroeut of this good citizen?” asked the cook. “Aye, by tbe blood of tbe goose, that I will,” answered the porter The story wob then told and the case argued. The fool listeued attentively, and in the end he asked the porter to let him take two pieces of his money. The poor man drew from his fob two pieces of cop per. Seyny Jean took them and jingled them awhile between his two hands and then gave them back whence he had re ceived them. Then to the cook he said “Tbe porter did smell of thy goose, and thou hast heard the jingle of his money. Thou hast tby goose intact, he hath his money, as seemeth to me right and proper And now this court doth decree further that every one go about his own business, lest we have too many fools among us.” Arrival of Columbu». book was carved or embossed on the sides, and it was beautiful, I knew, and I like pretty things, and I sort of held onto it, with my hand still in the drawer, at the same time running my other hand along toward the other corner. With that hand a moment later 1 picked up a slender silver bottle, and I never regretted anything so much iu my life, for that bottle was the ether handle of an electric battery, and I couldn’t let go. “I cried out—I couldn’t help it—but that didn’t do any harm, for the instant I touched the bottle a bell began to ring loud enough to wake anybody up, even if I hadn’t made a sound myself. Then a man sat up in bed, turned up a light and looked at me aud said: “ ‘Hello, there!’ “And I said, ‘Hello!’though it was pret ty hard work for me to talk. “All this time he was getting out of bed, und when hie feet touched ths floor he leaned over aud pulled something on thp wall. Of course that was simple enough—a police signal. Then he looked over at me again. “ ‘Think you can stand it?’ he said. “And of course I said I could, though I was lying on the floor now aud had about all I could do to keep from twisting and squirming. 1 had the pocketbook iu one Land, you understand, aud the silver bot tle in the other, aud I could see now the wires running from them up into the bu reau drawer. Ali this time tbe man was keepiug on dressing. Iu two or three min utes more I heard somebody at the street door of tbe house—the police. A minute later two of them bad collared me, and the man shut off the current. "As I said, this thing never disturbed me iu the least, but after I got out as long as I remained iu active life I made it a point never to pick up two things at once in the dark.”—New York Sun.

S mitit , of Towanda, Pa., whose constitution was completely broken down, is cured by Ayer's Sarsaparilla. He writes: “ For eight years, I was, most of the time, a great sufferer from constipa tion, kidney trouble, and indiges tion, so that niy constitution seemed to be completely broken down. I was induced to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and took nearly seven bottles, with such excellent results that my stomach, bowels, and kidneys are in perfect con dition, and, in all their functions, as regular as clock-work. At the time I began taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, my weight was only 129 pounds ; I now can brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so good health. If you could see me be fore aud after using, yon would want me for a traveling advertisement. I believe this preparation of Sarsaparilla to be the best in the market to-day.” • Ayer’s Sarsaparilla Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer f: Co., Lowell, Mass. Cures others,will cure you
