AGREATNATURALIST.

From all that can be gathered respect
ing the scientific labOrs of Aristotle, he
was remarkably industrious man. Ger
tain it is no naturalist ever had equal
facilities for gratifying taste for a par
ticular pursuit. Pliny assures us that
several thousands of men were at Aris-
totle's disposal through Greece and IN
Asia, and probably IN Africa also, IN col
lecting material for his work on ami
mails. He was allowed by his friend,
Alexander the Great, eighty talents, or
a sum equal to 1896, 900, to enable him
to complete the magnificent enterprise
he had undertaken. Fishermen, hun
ters, .herdsmen, and indeed every one
who could furnish an authentic fact re
specting beast or bird, were put under
contribution. His notes on bees, tish,
the Matching. Of eggs, the economy and
structure Of the cuttle-fsh, have never
been surpassed. Anatomical relations,
the laws of development, and indeed
very much which at this day occasional
" turns up as a novel discovery IN nat
ural history. were recorded by that e1-
traordinary man many thousands oil
wears ago. Valuable, huge IN size' ana
important as his work was to the "oflu,
Il WAS actually lost for two Thousand
wears and was brought to light again

4 GULF STRE4M TO THE POLE

A report has been received in San
Francisco, from a French expedition
now on its way to the North Pole. From
this report it appears that the voyage
to the pole is as pleasant and easy as a
summer trip up the Hudson. The ex-
pedition passed through Behring's
Straits, and following the course of the
warm current of the Kuro silva, found
itself floating on the bosom of broad
river walled in by pleasant hills and oc-
casiOnaI precipices. All along the shore,
quantities of frozen mammoths were
found, which, having been dead only a
few thousand years, were so nicely pre-
served in ice that the crew of the expe-
dition lived entirely upon mammoth
meats, boiled, roasted, and baked.
When the report was sent (by a friend
lY whaling ship the expedition had
gone into Winter quarters, though why
it had not continued its voyage until the
pole had been reached does not appear.
Certainly there could have been no diff
ficulty in proceeding on its course, for
the polar river was free from ice, and
the frozen mammoths were waiting for
the table. Perhaps the crew grew tired
of an exclusive diet of mammoths, and
decided to wait until a new supply OF
pork and beef could be brought from
civilized regions.

OUTDOOR LIFE.

Our girls want more outdoor life, and
less reading novels and embroidering in
rooms darkened with green blinds. If
there is any one thing more beautiful
than another in a garden of flowers,
that thing is a beautiful girl, with sun
bonnet on her head so wide and capa-
cious that you have to get right square
before her, to see the glowing cheeks
that are sure to be there if she is accus-
toned at all to garden walks and works.
Physically, there can be nothing better
for daughters, and, indeed, for many
wives, than to take sole charge of a
small flower garden. The benefits de-
rived from early rising, stirring the soil,
snuffing the pure mountain air, are
freshness and glow of cheek and bright
ness of eye, cheerfulness of temper, Wig
or of mind and purity of heart. Conse-
quently she must be more cheerful and
lovely as a daughter, more dignified and
wOmanly as a sister, and more attractive
and confiding as a wife If you have
not the door-yard ground, then get a
pot and plant the seeds of flowers to
your taste. The care and attention re-
quired to rear and train the growing
plants, occupies the mind to the exclu-
sion oftentimes of senseless novel read
ing, a senseless waste of time. You list
less, pale-faced, fragile thing of a girl,
throw off your mock delicacy, put on
rI1-oe ;f ,,,,7, I-;I1 1,,,+ work n, tho Il Ho11-
er garden until your cheeks vie in color
with the blush of the rose which you
cultivate

THIRTY CENTURIES OLD.

The oldest relic of humanity extant is
the skeleton of the earliest Pharaoh,
encased in his original burial-robes,
wonderfully, perfect, considering its
age, which was deposited eighteen or
twenty months ago in the British Mu-
scum, and is justly considered the
most valuable of its archaeological
treasures.
The lid of the coffin which contained d
the royal mummy was inscribed with
the name of its occupant, Pharaoh Ny
kerimus, who succeeded the heir of the
builder of the great pyramid about ten
centuries before Christ. Only think of
it! the monarch whose crumbling bones
and leathery integments are now ex-
citing the wonder of numerous gazers
in London reigned in Egypt before
Solomon was born, and only about
eleven centuries or so after Misraim,
the grandson of old father Noah, and
the Pharaohs, had been gathered to his
fathers. Why, the tide-mark of the
Deluge could scarcely have been OBJ
liberated, or the gopher-wood knee tim
bers of the ark have rotted on Mount
Ararat, when this man of the early world
lived, moved and had his being. His
bones and shriveled skin are contem-
porary with the nineteenth century, and
the date of the crucifxion is only about
midway between this era and ours.

ONCE IN EIGHT YEARS

NJ Paul Janet, French writer, has
shown that since the year 1893 there
have been twelve different governments
in France, the average duration OF
which has been from seven to eight
years. What is curious in this cORnec-
ton is that none of these governments
has been the expression of the free will
of the people, but all have been usurPed.
Every eight years therefore force in
France overthrows the regular authori-
ty, and creates a new regime of chance,
which is itself in time destroyed by the
same weapons that had raised it. Wheth-
er the government of NJ. Thiers viii
survive the allotted eight years remains
to be seen.

THE ORDER OF NATURE.

Thou, who wouldst read, with an undarkened eye
The laws by which the Thunderer bears sway,
Look at the stars that keep, in yonder sky,
Unbroken peace from Natures earliest day.
The great sun, as he guides his fiery car,
Strikes not the cold moon in his rapid sweep;
The bear, that sees star setting after star,
In the blue brine, descends not to the deep.
The star of eve still leads the hour of dews;
Duly the day star ushers in the light;
With kindly alterations Love renews
The eternal courses bringing day and night.
Love drives away accursed War, and keeps
The realm and host of stars beyond his reach.
In one long calm the general Concord sleeps
The elements, and tempers each to each.
The moist gives place benignly to the dry;
Heat ratifies a faithful league with cold;
The nimbe fame springs upward to the sky;
Down sinks by its own weight the sluggish mold
Still sweet with blossoms is the years fresh prime
Her harvests still the ripening summer yields;
Fruit-laden Autumn follows in his time,
And rainy Winter waters still the fields.
The elemental harmony brings forth
And rears ali life, and when Ife's term is DER
It sweeps the breathing myriads from the earth,
And whelms and hides them to be seen no more
While the great Founder, He who gave these laws,
Holds the firm reins and sits amid the skies,
Monarch and Master, Origin and Cause,
And Arbiter supremely just and wise.
He guides the force He gave; His hand restrains
And curbs it to the circle it must trace;
Else the air fabric which His hand sustains
Would fall to fragments in the void of space
Love bin the parts together; gladly still
They urt His kind command and wise decree,
Bnless love held them subject to the will
That gave them being, they would cease to be.

not a paradox The new plan is i'm
ported from England.
A JEALOUS husband at Canaan, New
Hampshire, placed beam in his attic,
provided with a bag of crackers, a jug
of frozen water and an ak, waiting for
the supposed destroyer of his happi-
ness. His wife on the second day called
in the suspected person, who was pass
ing the house, to help her discover the
cause of the noises she heard. The
husband, when discovered in his retreat,
playfully threw the axe at the heads of
the pair, but unfortunately missed his
aim.
A CHICAGO man had read somewhere
how to tell the time by cats eyes. So
he traded off French clock, belonging
to his wife, for a gallon of whisky and a
Thomas cat of the large, gray, expec-
tOring, swelI-tailed kind. The first time
he tried to discover the hour of the
day he was surprised to see the cat
claw him in the nose, scratch every bit
of starch out of his shirt-bosom, and go
through an So pane of glass. But he
had rather face a feline chronometer
than his wife any day.
THERE is nice little bit of romance
of the good old-fashioned kind just
come to hand. Miss Matilda Philips,
sister of Adelaide, has lately rescued a
young man from drowning at Genoa
It seems to have been a very brave
deed, and in writing to her sister she
says g We are great friends ever since,
and he can scarcely do enough for me.
I have had beautiful letters from his
mother and sisters, and feel so happy
to have done something to bring so
much happiness to any one" She
speaks of the grateful youth familiarly
as Walter, and the consequences are
/ evident
