their duty as wives and mothers they have
a right to their share of the joint income,
within reasonable limits; for, certainly,
no money could buy the services they
render. Moreover they have a right to
share in determining what those reason
able limits are.'
Now it so happened that I had myself
gone through an experience which ena-
bled me perfectly to comprehend this feel
ing. In early life | was for a time in the
employ of a kind friend who paid me a
fair salary, but at no definite periods: I
was at liberty to ask him for money when
ever | needed it. This seemed to me, in
advance, most agreeable arrangement;
but | found it quite otherwise. 1t proved
to be very disagreeable to ask for money;
1t made every dollar seem a special favor:
1t brought up all kinds of misgivings, as
to whether he could spare it without in
convenience, whether he really thought
my services wortL it, and so on. My en-
ployer was thoroughly upright and no.
pie man, ana l was much attached to him.
do not know that he ever refused or de-
INJURED when Iasked him for money. The
annoyance was simply in the process of
asking, and this became so great that [
often underwent serious Inconvenience
rather than ask. Finally, at the years
end, surprised my friend very much by
saying that | would accept, if necessary,
a lower salary, on condition that it should
be paid on regular days, and as a matter
of business. The wish was at once grant
ed, without the reduction; and my en-
ployer probably never knew what a relief
it was to me.-T ". Higgjnson, an the

Water.

WATER is the great mechanical power
IN nature. 1t is the great leveler; it
moves mountains and fills valleys All
our stratified rocks, sandstones, states,
and limestones were formed by the action
of water. To the solvent power of water
and its chemical action we owe our use
full minerals, our metallic deposits, our
iron, copper, zinc, gold and silver ores,
and even coal. To its physical proper
tles-its relations to heat-we owe all the
phenomena Of clouds, dew, rain, fog.
snow and frost. 1t supports the plants,
brings them their mineral food from the
soil, and protects them from excessive
heat. Animals are equally dependent
upon it. Yet after all, it is only the agent
OF the sun; it is sun power that makes
plants grow; 1t is sun power that moves
everything in the world, and water is
merely the SUMS agent. The loss of water
would produce the same condition of
things on earth that we notice now in the
moon. Although we have such vast
quantity Of water, yet it is only I, 240,OOOth
part OF the earth, or 00042 per cent
The crystalline rocks at the earths sur
face now contain a larger quantity of
water than this, and the moment our
earth cOols enough to absorb four-thou-
sandths of one per cent. of moisture, the
ocean will disappear. If we should lose
our atmosphere also, the openings or
pores in the rocks will receive it by gray
ltation.-B0st0n Journal Of Chenist7y
