Practice and Principle.

PRACTICAL knowledge is knowledge
that can be used or applied to some use
full purpose. 1t is a gross error to sup
pose that the various arts and processes
used in common life are independent of
theory and abstract speculation. To the
untaught mind, the astronomer is vision
airy, sitting in his observatory in the lone
night hour, gazing at those far-off myriad
points of light, and spending his days in
the solution of equations and problems
as unintelligible to most people as the
fantastic characters on China tea-chest.
Yet, without his labors, even the common
family almanac could not be prepared;
the sailor could not be furnished with his
chart, and, of course, could never venture
upon the deep out of sight of land. In
deed, he would be ignorant of the laws of
the currents and winds, at whose mercy
he coasts along the shore.
Our standard weights and measures are
all based upon astronomical work far
above the reach of ordinary culture. In
agriculture, the man who has a knOwl-
edge of the principles which govern the
growth of the vegetable kingdom, who
knows the nature and capacities of his
soils, the habits and requirement OF his
crops, and adapts one to the other, has
the reputation of being a good manager.
But many of those principles have been
reached only by the studies of secluded
chemists and abstracted botanists. By
tracing out the slow development OF
principles and applying those principles
in the laboratory and in the field, they
have found out the laws upon which ma
ture acts from seed-time to harvest. Book,
farming may be laughed at by those who
love darkness, but it is too late, at this
day, for any man to deny, with his eyes
open, the utility of knowledge of prin-
ciples in the pursuits of agriculture

Saved as by Fire.

SOME of the most curious freaks of the
fire here have not yet been reported.
The wooden cane-seat chair-a common
dining chair-in the room of James NJ
Hubbard. Esq, mail agent, was saved in
tact. 1t sat in window, and is not even
broken, and is only scorched on one side.
The roof collapsed; the floors gave way
one after another; the desks and other
furniture perished in a whirl of flame
greenbacks burned up, and gold melted in
the safe solid granite blocks fell TO pieces,
and iron beams were twisted till they
look like gigantic dish of baked vermi-
celli, but out comes that chair from the
wreck, solid as ever
Another. On the corner of State and
Washington, on the sidewalk, stand con-
spicuously two wooden poles, unscorched
and as gaudy with paint as before the fire.
One, an immense telegraph pole, still
clings to its score of wires, and swings
them calamity in air thirty feet from the
pavement the other, a finical BARRIERS
pole, mocks the surrounding desolatiOn
with its spiral rainbow Burning walls
fell within two feet of them, and even the
stone tagging is broken up and turned
back to sand at their very bases but there
they stand-the ashen monument of COM
merce and the corkscrew invitation of
the lather merchant.
One more: The Elgin Watch COM
pany lost many watches, baked to sui
len brown, in their safes, but their vault
was so cool that watches kept up their
click-tick, and three days after, when it
was opened, out ran an enterprising mouse
on voyage of observation Col. Whit
tie thinks the temperature did not go
above so degrees in the vault.IlChicago

Tom Ewing as an Athlete.

WELL recollect the first time saw
Thomas Ewing, then a young lawyer, not
yet having much business, or making
much of a mark. was struck with his
large head, and generally massive and
muscular, but rather awkward, build. 1t
was summer time, and the court had adj
jOurned early in the afternoon. Several
of the lawyers remained, and the cOnver
sation turned upon athletic exercises and
feats of strength. Among those present
was Joe Mcdowell, brother of Abram
and John. He declared that he was so
swift of foot that he had never been beat
en- in race of 100 yards, and he believed
he could not be beaten, and offered to bet
ten dollars he could beat any one in the
crowd. Finally, Orris Parrish took him
up, and they went out on the green. 1t
was not yet determined who was to be
McDowell's competitor, but when the
ground was measured of, Mr. Ewing, who
had taken but little part in the conversa-
ton, and whose demeanor had been very
modest and retiring, offered himself to
run the race, and to the surprise of all,
for none supposed that he could run.
Judges and Stockholders were appointed
and | will never forget the CLEAN of Ew-
ing's eye or his air of resolution as he
stripped Off his coat, vest and shoes, and
took his place The word to go was given,
and the young athletes sprang off with an
even start. Soon, however, Ewing began
to gain, and came to the winning post
well ahead of Mcdowell, who was SO cha
grined at the result that he began to find
excuses, and said he had tripped and
stumbled, or otherwise he would have
won. Ewing smiled, and said: ''Wel
if you are not satisfied, let us try again
They did run again, and Mcdowell wa:
beaten worse than before. Other sports
and trials were then made. Standing
jumps, running jumps, shoulder ston'
throwing, the axe and the maui, in all o
which Mr.. Ewing proved his superiority
and finally the high jump over stretched
string was tried, but on which Mr. E. mad

Curious Animal Economies.

MODERN research has determined a curl
Gus circumstance of an organic contriv-
ance in the camel and leech, unlike as they
are in structure, functions and habits,
which has reference to supplying them
with food from storehouses in their own
bodies, till supplies are attainable from
other sources.
The hump is an immense collection OF
fat, stored in reticulated cells piled one
upon another, which is concentrated food
When fodder cannot be had, as frequently
occurs on their long caravan travels
in the desert, peculiar set of absorbent
vessels draws upon the magaZlne-the
hump-carrying the fat into circulation till
food from without puts a stop to the drafts
on the back. The hump is very sensibly
diminished at times, even being almost
completely leveled; but that which was
thus borrowed to sustain life thus tempo
rarily. is Immediately replaced when the
stomach is set in motion again in its accus-
toned manner.
The medical leech, or blood-sucker, low
as it is in the organic scale of life, Is as care
fully provided for in regard to the contin-
gencies of life as the king of the country.
As the blood passes down the gullet of the
leech. the current divides right and left, to
enter two lateral tubes, instead of entering
the stomach. These canals are folded,
zig-zag, backward and forward, in loops,
as it were, from the head to the tail. When
perfectly filled, the leech lets go its hold.
1t is then plump and full, with stock of
food on hand that may ordinarily last from
one to two wears, in case it has no oppor-
tunity to take in another supply in that
long time.

The Famine i'm Persia.


The following account of the famine in
Persia is taken from a statement made at
public meeting recently held in London,
to raise money for the relief of the suffer-
ers:
The lamentable famine now raging in
Persia, and threatening to carry off hun
dreds of thousands of the scanty popula-
ton of that extensive kingdom, has been
caused by the unparalleled drought which
has prevailed throughout the country dur
ing the last three years.
In an area far exceeding that of Great
Britain and France together, no river of
any Importance exists, and the quantity of
rain in the spring and summer is insignifi-
cant. In ordinary years, however, the
fall of snow between November and March
is considerable. 1t tthickly covers the huge
mountain ranges which intersect Persia,
and as it melts in the spring and summerit
fills the water-courses and small canals
from which the peasants irrigate their
crops. The soil in the valley is naturally
fertile, and little labor insures large har-
vest if only the winter snowfall has been
abundant. This, unhappily, has for the
last two or three years been singularly
wanting; the springs, water-courses and
rlvulets have been completely dried up, the
corn, sown over and over again, has
been blasted, the supplies in the country
have been exhausted, and famine, with dis
ease in its train, is now rapidly doing its
deadly work
I" The whole population of Persia has
recently been estimated at about 4,000, 900,
a large proportion of whom are EeiyautS,
wandering tribes who correspond to the
Bedaween of Arabia and Mesopotamia.
These Eelyauts principally inhabit the
southern and eastern parts of the empire,
where the drought has been most severe
Their means of subsistence depend MAIN
ly on their flocks and herds, which have
now, in some places, altogether perished,
owing TO the total want of grass on the
mountain slopes and in the valleys. The
most pitiful destitution and the most ap-
palling mortality are the results. The
towns have suffered scarcely less. At
Bushire, where relief is most easily
afforded, and where much has been done
under the auspices ofthe British Minister,
deaths by starvation are of daily occur
renee. 1t is reported that the population
of KazeroOn, lately estimated at ten
thousand, has fallen during these days of
visitation to One-fifth that number; that
in round numbers some four thousand
have died of famine since this time last
year, and like number have fled the
place A similar condition of affairs ex-
lists at ShiraZ, Kooniesher, and more or
less all over the large provinces of Kir-
man and KhOrassan, while even in the
less afflicted northern districts most lam
entable distress prevails. 1t is reported
that in the city of Ispahan alone no less
than twelve thousand people have died of
want, and more than double that number
in the province. No material improve
ment can be looked for until next spring"

A Fact.

During the recent terrible fires in West
ern Michigan, there were three brothers,
owners of valuable mills and other build
incs. which they and their neighbors
(some of whom were Christian mem were
defending from the fires until all were ex-
hausted and in despair. One of the own
ers, a frank, rough, wicked man of huge
frame and generous impulses, said many
hard words about Gods permitting the de
struction of so much property for no good
to any one, etc, etc. Finally he gave up,
and said to his neighbOrs, go home, go
home, nothing more can be done for u.s.
God can do as he pleases." Just then a
few drops of rain fell. Looking up he saw
the cloud, and all redoubled their efforts:
A slight rain fell, the fire was checked and
the mills saved The rough man dropped
upon his knees, great tears rolled down
his face, his hands were elapsed, head
bowed, and he agonizing to express his
thanks. Suddenly he sprang to his feet,
vigorously swinging his hat, and with the
most intense earnestness shouted, bur.
