An Inquiry,

"Why will any metal, in its solid state,
be sustained by the same metal in fluid.
or melted state In other words, why
will cold metal swim in melted metal 2"
The above inquiry has been sent US from
the Haverling Union School, at Bath, N.
Y. In reply to it, DR.. Antisell says:
"Generally speaking, body in the SOL
id condition is heavier, bulk for bulk, than
when fluid. To, this there are few ex-
ceptions; water is one. When solid as
ice, it floats upon the liquid water, because
water at the temperature of 80 degrees is
heavier than when it is colder or hotter.
..Iron does not form any exception to
the general law as solid. it is heavier
than an equal bulk OF melted iron; and il
a mass of cold iron should float on mol.
ten surface, it is because it contains cavi-
ties of air included in or on its under sur.
face, unable to escape. When, however,
the mass commences 10 melt. and allo ws
these to be liberated, the remaining unmel-
ted portion Immediately sinks. l. think
the position taken in the question is untrue,
and resembles King Charles puzzle ofthe
fish.''-The Student.

Reason and Faith.

Here is an extract from and article on
the subject by Henry Rogers, originally
published in the Edinburg Review:
"To know the limits OF human philoso-
ply is the better part OF all philosophy f;
and though the conviction Of our ignoranc CO
is humiliating. it is like every true convic-
ton, salutary. Amidst this night of the
soul. bright stars-iar distant fountains Of
illumination, are wont to steal out which
shine not while the imagined sun Of rea.
son is above the horizon! and it is in that
night, as in the darkness of outward ma
ture, that we gain our only true ideas OF
the ilimitable dimensions of the universe
and our true position in it. Meanwhile
we conclude that God has created two
great lights-the greater light to rule mans
busy day,-and that is reason; and the
lesser TO rule his contemplatiye highland
that is faith. But faith herself shines only
so long as she reflects some faint il7umina-
tion from the brighter orb."
Again I" When the bright eyes Of Rea-
son are full Of piercing and restless intel.
ligence, his ear is closed to sound, and
while Faith has an ear of exquisite delica.
cy, on her slightless orbs, as she lifts them
toward heaven. the sunbeam plays in vain
Hand in hand, brother and sister pursue
their way through world, on which, like
ours, day breaks and night falls alternate:
by day the eyes Of reason are the guide Of
Faith, and By night The ear Of Faith is the
guide of Reason"

A "Fast" Age.

The following is too good TO be lost Il,
illustrates one Of the peculiarities of this
"fast" age:
IAN old lady in Cincinnati had large
quantity Of bacon to ship to New Orleans,
where she was going herself 10 buy sup
plies. She stipulated with the captain OF
steamer that he should have her freight,
provided he would not race during the
trip. The captain consented, and the old
lady came aboard. After the second day
out another steamer was seen close astern,
with which the captain had been racing
all the time) and would every now and
then come up to the old lady's boat and
then fell back again. The highest excite.
ment prevailed among the passengers, as
abe two boats continued side by side. AT
last the old lady, partaking Of the excite.
ment, called the captain and said, "Cap.
tain. you amt going to let that thar old
boat pass US are you?" "Why. l shall
have to, madam. as agreed not to race
"Well. you can just try it a little, that
won't hurts "But. madam, to tell the
truth, did, "Gracious! but do try q
little more-see, the old boat is almost
even with u.s." and loud cheer arose
from the passengers on tho "old boat"
81 can't raise any more steam, madam.
as all the tar and pine nots are burnt up -
"Good gracious. what shall we do; see,
the old boat is passing US. 10 there moth.
ing else on board that will make steam?''
|"Nothing, madam-eh, oh. as if new
idea had struck him. except your bacon. .
"Throw in the bacon," shrieked the old
lady, "throw in the bacon. captain, and

New Remedy for Hoven In Cattle

New Remedy for Hoven In Cattle.
Thisis the season Of the year for cattle
to injure themselves by over feeding in
treshpasture, particularly on clover. The
knowledge of an infallible remedy for its
bad effects, would be of great value TO the
agricultural community Many farmer
loses his best COW, often three or four in
season, by the effects Of hearty break
fast onsclover. The gas suddenly accu.
tnulates in the stomach, producing death
in,wo orthree hours. The effort made 10
peutralize this gas by alkali, is seldom
successful.
The practice usually resorted to. and the
one nerecommended in agricultural works, is
to use the knife. Draw an equilateral tri-
angle; beginning at the hip bone, thence
forward to the ribs, thence down the side
to,the lower point Of the angle made by
another line drawn from the hip down.
At this point, thrust in large knife. The
sas immediately escapes, and the beast is
out Of danger.
The objections to this operation are
First, II always produces disagreeable
sore. Second II it is milk COW, it ne ar.
b dries her up for month or two. Third,
81 it is q working OK, he must lie by near.
~ as long to recover from the effects o
tls6 wound. .sfs. -,
ne remedy which l now propose. has
been practiced by one large dairyman, q
neighbor of mine. for three years passed
with complete success. He considers il
sure. Others who have tried it, speak o.
II as certain remedy.
As soon as you discover the COW to be
in danger, catch her and tie stick in hel
mouth as you would bridle-bit. This
holdssthe mouth open, and in her efforts to
getihe stick out, she works her tongue and
throat. so as to pass up the gas, and in 9
very few minutes. she is out of danger.
II the< beast is down, and seems TO bs
dying use the knife Immediately.

CHILDREN'S COLUMN.
THE TRUTHFUL BOY

Once there was little boy,
With curly hair and pleasant eye,
A boy who always spoke the truth,
And never, never told I lie.
And when he trotted off to school,
The children all about would cry,
"There goes the curly.headed boy,
The boy who never tells lie."
And every body loved him 50.
Because he always told the truth,
That every day as he grew up,
Twas said, "There goes the honest
youth"
And when tho people that stood near
Would turn to ask the reason why,
The answer would be always this
because he never tells lie."
