A Theory for the Distant Future.

THE time is coming when there will be
no more shipwrecks when ocean steamers
will not sink or disappear, and when
coasters need no longer fear the dread lee
shore. 1t will not be this year or next,
but it some time will be, if we can credit
recent article by Prof. Winchell, of
Michigan. 1t appears-or rather it is,
though it does not yet appear-that the
waters of the earth are drying up. The
earth is cooling, the water works its way
deeper and deeper into the crust each year,
and in the course Of time it will all be
soaked up without evaporation; ocean and
atmosphere alike will be drawn into the
cold embrace Of the earth, which will be
left frozen desert, floating through space
throughout all time, like an empty ship
in the Arctic seas His theory is that as
order came out of chaos by the cooling of
the exterior of the melted masses, so this
same process is to continue to the end. He
finds confirmation for this in the present
condition of the moon, which undoubted-
~ once was what the earth is, but it has
gradually cooled off to be ga fossil world,
heavens, once the seat Of all the varied
and intense activities which now
characterize the surface of our earth,
but in the present period a realm of
silence and stagnation. " Other
heavenly bodies show other stages of
the process. Saturn in its ring condition
is the freshest; then Jupiter, where watery
mists are beginning to gather in a vapor-
Gus envelope, producing rain; then the
earth, as it is and then Mars, which is en-
tering upon the decline of the organic
phase and where rains are infrequent and
cold is encroaching. Last Of all is the
earth's moon, as already described. The
reason why the moon has become desert
before the earth is, that it is forty-nine
times smaller, and hence cools forty nine
times quicker If any one, therefore, can
just find when the moon began to cool and
how long time the operation occupied, he
can make an easy calculation as to the
length of our future and the value Of 900
years leases. The theory does not pre-
cisely accord with the idea that we are to
be destroyed by heat, unless that be inter
preted in the negative sense of destroying
us by leaving Us, and the present condi-
ton of the Atlantic Ocean, or even nearer
home of Connecticut River, does not seem
to imply imminent danger of a lack of
water. Still with such a prospect, even in
the remote future, men can laugh at the
raging waters-especially since many of
them, forestalling the disappearance have
already adopted substitute for it as an
article of consumption and daily need

What Girls Really Want.

GIRLS really want more selfreliance.
They want more liberty to choose for
themselves. The majority Of girls have
every article Of their wardrobe selected by
some friend. Of course the grown-up
ones are taken shopping, the goods are
selected, and mamma or an older sister
says: There, that's just exactly what
you want Of course you like it.'' The
young lady looks dissatisfied, and in low
voice says: II had rather have that pat
tern - but mamma replies: 90, no! it
isn't half as suitable or becoming as this
one" and the daughter seldom contra
diets mamma" before the attentive clerks
Then the dressmaker tells her just how
it must be made. 1t must be cut and
trimmed in certain manner, and it is
finally finished without once needing the
wishes of the young lady Ten chances to
one, if she had selected the dress, it would
have been unbecoming; and, if made in
the style she directed, nearly ruined; but
we beg to know how the poor child is GO
ing to correct her taste or improve her judg-
lnent, if neven allowed to. use either?
We'stood by the counter, not long ago,
looking at goods, when a mother and
daughter care in and asked to be shown
some kid gloves. The young lady select
ed pair, and the mother said: "You
can't have those; they are too light; they
will soil in wearing once" True, it was
a fact; but the daughter felt bitter sense
of wrong as she turned away without any
gloves Had she been trusted to purchase
these, and told that they must be made to
last as long as pair of dark ones, might
she not have learned to be prudent and
thoughtful
What if the fathers and mothers do suf-
fer some for the plumbers their daughters
make? Are they not expecting some good
young man will, eventually marry these
daughters? Some parents are so blind as
to think it Kindness to select everything
a person needs, especially those FOR the
girls There is no better way to make
weak, sinefficient wives, and .extravagant
mothers, than this habit of being taste,

Suggestions for Summer.

1t is of great importance that the system should
be IN a vigorous condition when the hot weather
commences. The effects of high temperature
upon an enfeebIed frame are always more or less
disastrous. The loss of substance and the declen-
sion OF nervous power, occasioned by excessive
heat, can only be compensated by the active,
heaithful and regular exercise of all the bodily
functions by which the waste of nature is replen-
lshed and the vital energies renewed. The great
utility of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as means
OF toning, invigorating and regulating the organs
OF the body, is universally acknowledged As 6
tonic 1t stimulates the tagging appetite and acce-
crates digestion; as corrective it neuralizes acidi-
ty OF the stomach and relieves fatulency; as an
Alternative and mild aperent it regulates the liver
and the bowels; anodyne it promotes tram
gull sleep; wholesome stimulant it imparts
firmness and elasticity to the relaxed and trem-
bling nerves. and as blood depurent it purifes
the vital stream. The value of such a specific to
the weak and debilitated is beyond all estimate.
TO lnvllids wilted down by the sultry heat of mid
summer, it is as refreshing and vitalizing as the
cool night dew to the sun-scorched flowers. Com
posed of vegetable elements only, with basis of
pure dlusive stimulant it is safe and palatable as
well as medicinal. In fever and ague districts,
and wherever the natural conditions conducive
to epidemic disease it is considered the best safe
guard against malarous infection, and the speedi
est remedy for intermittent and renittent fevers.

of this celebrated medicine is established
by evidence which it is impossible to
