THE ADJUSTMENT OF OUR SYSTEM.


Philosophers tell US when the little
snowdrop, which in our garden walks we
may now see raising its beautiful head 10
remind US tina, spring is at hand, was Gre
aied, that the whole mass Of the earth
from pole to pole, and from circumference
10 centre, must have been taken into &C
count aud weighed, in order that the prop
er degree of strength might be given to the
6bres even Of this little plant. Botanisls
tell us that the constitution of this plant
is such as 10 require that at certain stage
of lis growth the stalk should bend, and
The flower should bow lis head, that an
operation may take place which is neces-
sary, in order that the herb should produce
seed after its kind; and that after this its
vegetable health requires that ii should lift
its head again, and stand erect. Now, if
! the mass of the earth had been greater or
less, the force of gravity would have been
different; in tina, case, the strength of fibre
in the snowdrop, as il is, would have been
too much or too little =; the plant could not
bow or raise its head at the right time,
formulation could not take place, and its
family would have become extinct with
the first individual that was planted, be-
cause its " seed" would not have beeR " in
ITSELF" and therefore it could not reproduce
itself. Now, if we see such perfect adap.
talion, such exquisite adjustment in the
case of one of the smallest flowers Of the
field, how much more may we not expect
compensation" in the atmosphere, upon
the right adjustment and due performance
of which depends not only the life OF that
plant, but The well.boing of every individ.
ual that is found in The entire vegetable and
animal kingdoms Of the world. When the
east winds blow for a little while, they
bring us air saturated with moisture from
the gulf steam, and We complain of the
sultry, oppressive, heavy atmosphere /; the
invalid grows worse, and the well mar

phere into his lungs ii is already so charg

FIRST USE OF Gas AS AN ARTIFICIAL
LIGHT.-In The year 1892, Mr.. Murdoch
made use of gas in lighting his house and
office al Redruth, in Cornwall, where he
then resided. The mines of which he
worked being distant some miles from his
house, he was in the constant practice Of
filling a bladder with coal.gas, in the neck
of which he fixed a metallic tube, with a
small o%rifce, throgh which the gas issued /;
this being igniied, served as a lantern to
light his way for the considerable distance
he had nightly to traverse. This mode Of
illumination being then generally unknown,
it was thought by the common people that
magical art alone could produce such an

The WOMEN OF GENoA.--We are i'm
pressed strongly with the beauty and dress
ofIhe females (of Genoa. Light in frame,
with dark hair and eyes, and finely pro-
%por,ioned, they seemed, in the cleaning Of
the day, rather 10 float than 10 walk before
you. They wear no bonnets--a bonnet
is a sure sign of a foreigner The (head!)
dress consists Of a piece Of muslin folded
across The top Of the head, elegantly pinned
to the hair, and gracefully falling aronnd
the neck and oyer The shoulders in The
form Of a shawl. Their ear rings are usu-
ally large and elegant. The countenances
are brilliant and expressive, and although
singular in dress aud appearance, you re.

stalks Of corn contain half as much saccha.

there is much Of this principle in the stalk,
as molasses has been frequently made from
them. Sugar, or pure saccharine matter,
is the most nutritious thing known; out
Of 100 lbs of white sugar, there will be
only 8 lbs of e~xcrementilious matter.
Pure white sugar is all convertible by the
system t; this fact, with the known large
proportion Of this element in corn crops
must at once make plain to farmers their
importance as an article, of food for stock.

pie in a dried state, the watery portion Of
the stalk which held it in solution with
other elements having evaporated. II corn
