IN their estimation, it has become better known
Its uniform character and power to cure the vari-

English woman is larger and stronger than her

of the physical superiority Of the Englishman to
the American. have the authority of a
competent and candid English woman for the
statement that the American woman Is the hand
somcr. There can he no question, think, that
the average American girl is more beautiful than
her cousin across the water. She has greater
dclicacy of feature, and generally finer make
up. She natures earlier, and, Il is quite likely,
fades sooner, but the fact that she Is pretticr is
not to be disputed. The girl here IL. also, under
the usage Of English Society, suppressed crca-
turc, without the freedom that fyors yiyacity.
The American girl is perfectly at home in socic-
ty before the English girl gees society at all, or
has ever been permitted to escape the eye of her
goyerness or her mother.
The American girl may he much too forward,
but am sure the English girl suffers by too
great bondage. Female education in the two
countries differs greatly. and, singular as II may
seem, the education Of the English girl is more
snowy than that Of the American. As general
thing, the English girl knows nothing Of matl-
cmatics and the natural sciences. These btanch-
cs in America absorb great deal Of time, as
YOU know and you viii find multitudes Of
American girls who arc adopts in them. That,
in the education of the English girl, which
strikes an American, is their knowledge of Ian
guage, Of literature, of music and Of drawing.
Everything which contributes to show in society
is acquired by the English girl. | cannot re-
call among my English travelling acquaintances

them have spoken French, Italian and German

ments Of ske;ching, and playing the piano, IL
must he acknowledged that the English girl
shows for all that she is, and that for social pur-
poses her acquisitions are greatly superior to
those of the American girl"

The Valley Farmer says, the whole science of
hay-making consists in three things First, cut
the grass when in bloom second, dry it not too
much third, let II go through sweating pro-
cess before II goes into the barn. On these
three things depend the quality of the hay.
Hay should be grass preserved. The nearer to
the fresh, tender, succulent grass you get it, the
better. Grass. when in blossom. has its full
growth, excepting the seed. 1t is yet tender
in a measure, and il has one advantage which
no other stage of the grass posscsses-it deyel-
ops its sugar then. Especially is this the case
with clover, whose head, when in blossom, is q
globe of sweetness. The best farmers have de-
eidcl that the blossominS time is the best time
to cut grasses, especially the clover. When
grass is ripe, what is it good for? Certainly
not for pasture; and will il be better when it is
still farther dricd and made haril
The object should be TO save the grass as near
its original state when cut as possible. This
cannot be attained by drying ii under burn
ing sun for two or three days. 1t should be
kept in the sun just long enough to cxpel the
water, leaving the sugar and starch from which
II derives its nutritive qualities, intact, and it
will then be not only green, but fragrant and
nutritious.

A Theory OF :he Aurora Borealis.

The New York Journal of Commerce
in a carefully considered article, as il
from some scientific pep, submits the fol
lowing theory-original as far as It knows
to explain the phenomena Of the aurora
borealis as displayed in the mag2 lhcent
exhibition of last Thursday light:
The aurora borealis is the silent dis
charge Of accumulated electricity in the
atmosphere, furnishing the same relief to
nature as flashes of lightning under other
conditions. The phenomena Of the north
ern lights are, in all respects, electrical
But the electric nature of Thursdays au-
rora was demonstrated conclusively by its
effect on telegraph wires. When a thun-
der-storm occurs the wires become charg-
ed with electricity, which sometimes affects
them so perversely that they cannot be
worked, and at other times furnishes an
efficient substitute for the galvanic battery.
Precisely these effects were observed on
Thursday night. At New York, Boston,
and Philadelphia, and some other places,
the auroral electricity charged the wires,
and enabled operators to work them with
out recourse to batteries. At St. Johns,
N. f., the most northern point from
which we have any report, the aurora Sc
riously interrupted the operation of the
telegraph-possibly because the current
supplied from the air was too strong for
the work to be done No doubt remains,
after the testimony given by many intel
ligent observers in various parts of the
country, that the aurora is attended by
the release of enormous quantities of cleo :
tricity.
The theory which we propose is the on
ly one which explains why the aurora bo-
reals is seen only in the arctic Cor antarc-
tic) and temperate zones-never, or rare
ly. in the torrid zone-and also why it is
visible here only Cor chiefly in the fall,
winter, or spring months-not in the
summer. In the tropic zone, and in the
warm months, the accumulated electricity
in the atmosphere is discharged under en-
tirely different conditions, as lightning,
with thunder, during heavy showers Of
rain
