water. Then would come the
central plain, more than 1000
miles wide, the inequalities of
the surface of which would be
hardly perceptible, though the
depth of the water upon it va
ries from 10000 1900 feet;
and there are places in which
Mont Blanc might be sunk
without showing its peak above
water. Beyond this, the ascent
on the American side commen-
ces, and gradually leads, for
about 800 miles to the New
foundland shore. Almost the
whole of the bottom of this
central plain (Which extends
for many hundred miles in a
north and south direction) is
covered by a fine mud, which,
when brought to the surface,
dried into a grayish-white fria-
ble substance. You can write
with this on a blackboard, if
you are so inclined, and to the
eye it is quite like very soft,
grayish chalk. Examined
chemically, it proved to be
composed almost entirely of
carbonate of lime; and if you
make a section of it in the
the same way as that of a
piece of chalk was made, and
view it with a microscope, ii
presents innumerable Globig-
crime embedded in the granu-
lar matrix.-[ Professor HUXLEY

Lost Relics Of the Past.

Among the saddest losses
that the country has had to
mourn for some time is the des-
truction OF the old colonial and
revolutionary buildings by fire
at Alexandria, Va. The coun-
try is just getting old enough
to cherish warmly the memo
ries and relics of its young days,
and when it is known that
among the houses destroyed by
this fire were the Masonic
lodge of which Washington
was the Master, and the old
Colonial Court House. in which
his provincial troops were
quartered in 1854, from the
door of which Braddock march
ed to his defeat in 1866, and in
which ex-President Washing
ton gave his last vote, in 1899,
a feeling of genuine sorrow is
likely to come over hearts.
We could better have spared
many richer and grander edi-
fees. These relics are the
things that certify the truth OF
history, and i'll this age of ico-
noclasm, when it is argued
that William Tell and Shaks
peare are myths, there is nc
certainty that ere long some ir
reverent enemy of the past may
not propose to prove that there
was no such person as George
Washington. The old revolu
tionary flags in the Cour
House were saved, however
the flag Of Washington's body
guard, the flag of Paul Jone
and that Of a company of Al
, exandria Continentals. Thes
lessen the misfortune in som
t degree, but it is a greater los
= than busy Yankee-laud of tC
r day has time to brood ovel
t this loss of the grand old lant

a days ". Z. Herald.

Stick to One Thing.


There are many farmers who
do not stick to one thing long
enough to make it pay, and
consequently they lose in ev-
erything. At one time they
conclude to devote themselves
to stock raising. Before they
get fairly under good headway
in this, they change their minds
and go back to raising grain.
Some again make a speciality,
for a time, of a certain crop
wheat, corn, or potatoes, for
instance. While they are fol-
lowing this speciality, the crops
may be small and the price
low, and they turn to another
just in time.to miss large crops
and good prices in what they
have left.
The best farmers we have OBJ
served are those who first find
out what their soil is best adapt
ed to produce. They then
turn their energies in that di-
rection and 60 straight forward
in that line. A poor crop does
not discourage them. They
keep on, and are sure to be f.
nally successful.
To illustrate our idea:-We
once knew a farmer who al
ways made it a point to fatten
from twenty-five 10 thirty hogs
every year. Let the price of
pork be high or low, he every
year had his lot ofhogs of about
the usual number. He took
great pride in having the best
in the neighborhood. Some
years, perhaps, he might have
done better by selling his corn
Instead of feeding it, Some
years, perhaps be might have
done better by turning his
whole attention to some other
speciality in farming. But we
always notice this. that, taking
one year with another for a long
time, say ten years, he made
the hogs pay. E[e was a sue
cessful farmer.
Another planter near by,
every year planted potatoes.
Sometimes his crop would fail,
and sometimes when he had q
good crop the price would be
low. But he kept straight for
ward-Every Spring he plan
ted potatoes. The result in
, that case was the same as that
in the other. Taking one year
with another for a considerable
} number Of years, he made the
! potato crop pay He, too, wa:
| a successful farmer.
: The farmer who would make
S his business pay must have
$ policy, and adhere to it.

The Bottom of the Ocean.

In 1858, Lieutenant Brooke
obtained mud from the bottom
of the North Atlantic, between
Newfoundland and the Azores,
at a depth of more than 10000
feet, or two miles, by the help
of his sounding apparatus.
The specimens were sent for
examination to Ehrenberg, of
Berlin, and to Baily, Of West
Point, and those able micro
scopists found that this deep
sea mud was almost entirely
composed of the skeletons of
living organism-the greater
proportions Of these beings
just like the Globigerin8, al
ready known to occur in the
chalk.
Thus far the work had beeu
carried on simply in the inter
ests of science, but Lieutenant
Brooke smethod of sounding
acquired a high commercial
value when the enterprise Of
lying down the telegraphic ca
BILE between Great Britain and
the United States was underta-
ken for it became a matter of
immense Importance TO know,
not only the depth of the sea
over the whole line along
which the cable was to be laid,
but the exact nature of the
bottom, so as to guard against
chances of cutting OF fraying
the strands of that costly rope.
The Admiralty consequently
ordered Captain Dayman, an
old friend and shipmate OF
mine, to ascertain the depth OF
the whole line of the cable, and
to bring back specimens of the
bottom. In former days such
a command as this might have
sounded very much like one OF
the impossible things which
the young prince in the Fairy
Tales is ordered to do before he
can obtain the hand of the
, princess. However, in the
months of June and July
, 1857, my friend performed the
task assigned to Linn Will
great precision, without so ia,
!. as | know, having met will
any reward of that kind. The
I specimens of Atlantic mu,
which he procured were sent t
me to be examined ard report
ed upon.
; The result OF these opera
tions is that we know the con

What we can Have at Home.

II is 10 ne Ieafeu InaL lue peO-
pie IN the country do not real
ize what an abundance of good
things they may have at home,
and at what trifling outlay, in
dependent of the markets.
We know the idea prevails
that people in cities live much
better than those in the coun-
try. This may be true, but if
so, it is the fault of the coun-
try people, for with very little
expense we may have our gar
dens supplying as great a vari-
ETY. as we desire; a few cows
will supply US with milk and
butter the year round, and a
few hives Of bees will give us
honey for our slap.jacks: then
think of the spring chickens in
frying time; the green goose
in the latter part of summer;
and the turkeys for cold wealth
er and holidays. These are
the result Of the good wife's
diligence and patient care and
attention. The woods abun-
dant with berries that may be
preserved or made into wine,
and the trees hanging with a
purple treasure in the way of
grapes, that are easily gather
ed and brewed, besides small
fruits of almost every kind may
be had for the planting, with
out the careful degree of cul-
ture necessary further North.
At a small outlay we make our
fish ponds, and have fish at all
seasons. Then suppose a man
has ten in family, lie would not
think iC difficult to raise fifteen
head Of hogs, as many sheep
and goats, and with these just
think of the chops and roasts,
to say nothing of his bacon and
its grease; his green's and the
ham to fry with his eggs. The
reader may smile and consid.
er us hungry; as hungry mer
are famous for good things tC
eat! We may be, neverthe
less our philosophy is good ant
we can prove it. Could we
purchase all these good things
