The Use of arlhquakes.

The usefulness of earthquakes was
a favorite subject with the late Sir
John Herschel Were it not for the
changes in the earth's crust which
are constantly being effected by the
action of subterranean forces, of
which the earthquake is the most
active manifestation. there can be no
doubt that the action of the sea beat
ing upon the land, together with the
denudirg power Of rain, inevitably
cover the entire earth with one vast
ocean. Had the Rrimeyal world
says Sir John Herschel, time
enough has elapsed, and force
enough derected to that end has been
in activity to have long ago destroyed
every vestige of land Mr.. Proctor
shows most clearly the benefcient
manner IN which the restorative &C.
tion of the earth's subterranean
forces is arranged. OF course every
upheaving OF the surface must be
accompanied or followed by a de
preston elsewhere.
'On a com parison Of the various
effects it has been found that the
forces of upheaval acts Oh the whole
more powelfuliy under continents.
while the forces of depression act
most powerfully, (on.the whole. un-
der the bed of the ocean. It teens
as if nature had provided against the
inroads of the ocean by seating the

Be Economical.

Look most to your spending. No
matter what comes in, If more goes
out you will always be poor The
art is not in ID sking money, but in
keeping it. Little expenses, like
mice III d barn, when they are many,
make grsat waste. Hair by hair,
heads get bald; S traw by straw the
thatch goes OFF the cottage. and drop
by drop the rain comes into the
chamber. A barrel is soon empty,
if the tap leaks but drop a minute.
When you mean to save, begin with
your mouth many thieves pass
down the red lane. :, The, ale jug is
great waste. In all other things
keep within comp ass, Never stretch
your legs further than your blankets
will reach, or you will soon be cold.
In clothes, choose suitable and last
ing stuff. and not tawdry fneries.
To be warm is the main ihiug;
never mind the looks. A fool may
make money, but 1t needs wise
man to spend il. Rem ember, 1t is
easier to build two chimneys than to
keep one going. If you give all to
back and board, there is nothing
left for the savings bank Fare hard
and work hard while you are young.
and you viii have a chance to rest

An Astonished Minister.

In a small city not far distant
from the q Hub" resides dentist
named Brown. He received an or
der from his beloved minister for a
false set of teeth. The work was ex-
ecuted promptly, and the shepherd
Of his flock called in at the appoint
cd time to receive them Brown
fixed them in his reverend custom
er's mouth, when the latter stepped
to the glass to see the effect, saying
slowly and distinctly:
{" Jesus Christ Jesus Christ !"
Now, Brown, who is more noted
for his quIckness of temper and pro-
family than for his piety, hea ring his
customer speak in such manner,
his ire was quickly aroused
"Blast it p he exclaimed. "if You
don't like the teeth you he edn't take
then, but there is no nee. .sssity for
your swearing so about it"
The astonished minister drew
back.

Three c,asses Of nrunkards.

At the second meeting of the
of Inebriates," DIR. Parrish deliv-
cred an essay-the result of his long
experience in the cure Of inebriates.
He divided the latter into three
classes The first, confirmed ine-
briates, or professional debauches,
whose purposes in life seem to be
limited to the qualification of appe-
tites or passions; the second is the
emotional class, who are described
as persons without decided inten-
ton to do wrong, and without any
abiding purpose to do right, and
who are the victims of their own
moral weakness or tho cupidity or
recklessness of others; and the third
are accidental inebriates-"men of
good principle and character, who
know and acknowledge their infrrn-
ity and endeavor to overcome it.
Students, authors, statesmen, and
overworked business men furn ish a
considerable percentage of this
class" The majority of the first
class, according to DIR. Parrish, are
incurable, and he recommends that
such persons be detained in special
hospitals OF this class DIR. Parrish
has eighty-four under his care, TWEEN
ty-four of whom improved SO as TO
be capable of partially attending to
business; seven were radically cured,
and two became insane. OF the
the second class, the doctor has had
as patients seventy-two, of whom
forty-two were SO i'm proved as to at
tend most of the time to their af-
fairs, and twenty-one were cured of
their in6rmity, He has had in
charge, of the third class, sixty-six
persons, forty seven of whom were
entirely cured, and sixtee of whom
were nearly so.
