HE human race has made considerable progress since the cave man, and lias not as yet ceased to mote upward. Two factors are necessary to produee wealth labor and ability. Both are human agencies, and must be treated differently from commodities, or we fail to produce the wealth that is necessary for the comfort and perpetuation of the race. What was a luxury yesterday becomes a necessity Steam and electricity have annihilated space. Machinery has eliminated skill. Specialization is the order of the day. The hand loom has been superseded by the great cotton mill, the cobbler 6hop by the immense shoe factory. The needle is no longer hand work. But we have moved along in directions other than the mechanical. The school lias kept pace with the machine. Benjamin Franklin has been quoted as saying: "If all worked, six hours would be sufficient to provide for all our needs. Jf this were so in his day, how many hours ought to constitute a work now? days We reduced the hours of labor from 14 to 12, from 12 to 10, from 10 to 8, ami we shall move along these lines until : Five days constitute a weeks work. Five hours a days work ; Five dollars a days pay. There is no longer an y need for the A? long hours of toil of our forefathers ; machinery has obviated this. to-da- y. j A We might find numberless examples in the biographies of scientific men and philosophers who had an absorbing intellectual passion. Some names suggest themselves at once: Kepler, Spinoza, and many others who devoted their lives strictly and exclusively to the pursuit of truth. It may be objected that in certain cases and with certain men nothing proves that the intellectual passion has not been fed or sustained by foreign elements; that the love of learning, though the principal motive, has been the only one ; that it has not been adulterated by others, that is, desire for position, influence, riches, fame, glory, in short, ambition under its manifold aspects. It is not easy to find absolutely pure cases, for besides the rarity of the intellectual passion the terms in which the demand is framed are almost contradictory, since the men we want to find must be unknown to fame. $ The following instance, however, seems, to me to answer perfectly to all the conditions. Deseuret gives a brief biographical sketch of a Hungarian named Meutelli, a philologist and mathematician, who, without a definite end in view, simply for the pleasure of learning and to satisfy his intellectual cravings, consecrated his whole life to 6tudy, having apparently no other want. Meutelli saved the price of washing by wearing no linen. A soldiers coat bought at the barracks and only replaced in the last extremity, a pair of Nankeen trousers, a fur cap, and huge slippers composed his entire costume. In 1814 the cannon balls fell all around the lodging, hut failed to disturb him. He lived thus uncomplaining, indeed happily, for 30 years without a days idleness. At last at the age of 60, having gone, as usual, to fetch water from the Seine, his foot slipped, he fell into the river and was drowned. Mentelli left no work behind him, in fact, there remains no trace of his long researches. Other instances might be quoted, but they would appear trifling by comparison with this. Great anonymous collaborations like those of the Benedictines certainly have enlisted the services of enthusiasts of this kind ; thus Dorn Mabillon was the type of worker animated with passionate fervor, modest, unknown, punctually fulfilling his religious duties, and when free from these, traveling about the world on foot to collect historical documents. Thus we find cases whore the love of knowledge alone, untarnished by other motives, has all the characteristics of a fixed and tenacious passion, filling the whole life, and expressing the whole nature of a man. police in Rawhide, and Otts in particular. Otts says he will appeal his case. Requisition papers for M. O. Reed have been issued by Governor Dickerson of Nevada. Reed has been arrested In the state of Washington for passing fictitious checks in Goldfield several months ago. At the time his crime was committed he escaped, but iwas arrested a few days ago In Seattle, and will be returned to Goldfield for trial.

Ireland Needs Reforesting. Ireland pays $5,000,000 a year fof timber Imported from other countries. Only 1 per cent, of Its land is in timber and much of this is of little value. A popular objection to reforestation has been that forest plantations offer less employment to labor than equal areas of agricultural land. It was shown, however, that a certain on poor forest, although planted soil not valuable for agriculture, had employed four times as much labor as has been employed upon equal area of agricultural land and was more profitable to the owner. Within the past year $30,000 worth of timber has been sold from this plantation, and much remains to be cut. Fruit Commerce. within recent years that fresh fruit3 have become Important in commerce. Formerly only lemons, oranges and apples were sent far. Most of the export Malts were dried prunes, dates, rasins and figs. The romtng of the demand for transportation brought into existence the great cold storage arrangements in our ocean steamers, by which it is now possible to send even perishable fruits from one part of the world to the other.
