The Man in the Moon.

The origin of the expression the
"Man in the Moon is unknown, but
the name has from time immemorial
been applied to the dark lines andspots
upon the surface of the moon, which are
visible to the naked eye, and which,
When viewed through good telescope,
are discovered to be the shadows OF
lunar mountains. 1t is one of the most
popular and most ancient superstitions
of the world that these lines and spots
are the figure of n man leaning on fork
on which he carries bundle of thorns
or brushwood, for stealing which on
Sunday he was confined to the moon.
The account given of man who was
stoned to death for gathering sticks on
Sunday, is supposed by some to be the
origin of this belief. Dante supposes
Cain to have been the offender who was
placed eternally in the moon for punish
ment of his crime. Some of the old
poets thought these spots and lines rep
resented the boy Endymion, whose
company the moon loved 80 well that
she carried him constantly with her.
Other ancients thoughtthey represented
a fox.

The Minimum in Minnesota.

Exchanges note that Winstrand, the
Swedish ex-royal secretary, who lives
in Minnesota, has reached height OF
economy Of which Dio Lewis is lgno-
rant. Having read a statement that
Indian corn contains more than four
times as much oily matter as wheat
flower, and that one pound of it, parch-
ed and made into bread, is more than
equal to two pounds of fat meat, the
careful swedeF resolved to test its power.
Mixing corn meal with water, he, with
his own devoted hands, made cake one
inch thick and seven inches in diameter,
which he baked on the Goals in the par
lor stove. A cake OF this size proved to
be more than sufficient for one meal.
Three times day, for weeks, the e1-
perimenter ate nothing else, didn't
want anything else, didn't lose weight,
and was perfectly we'll. He must have
constitution before which even hard
boiled eggs might bow and miRce-pie
blush. To rational people he presents
the argument that it takes one hours
work, besides fencing, to produce half
q bushel Of corn, which is more than
sufficient for ten days for one person /;
it needn't cost anybody more than five
dollars a year. "Rational people" he
declares, twill be more satisfied on that
than on the fare at the best hotels IN
Europe or America" Moreover, he OBJ
served that half an acre will produce
all the vegetables one person will need
for one year, without hard labor that
when the weather is warm it is very
comfortable and healthy to 60 barefoot,
and every comfortable house," large
enough for one person, can be built in
Minnesota for twenty dollars, and al
most anybody can do it for himself.
Therefore nobody need be at q loss
for den wherein to dwell, and fare

cost of five dollars year.

Action of Tobacco,

. A highly important series of expert
ments have been made by two German
physicians, vogl and Gutenberg, with a
view accurately to determine the physi-
illogical action of tobacco. Their re-
searches had reference first to the action
of those bases of tobacco which are
volatilized at temperature lower than
one hundred and sixty degrees, and
then to those volatilizable between one
hundred and sixty and two hundred
and sixty degrees. 1t was found that
the action of all these bases was identi-
cal with that of nicotine, producing con-
traction of the pupil, labored respira-
tion, commissions, and death. When
taken into the stomach they produce
their effects more speedily than when
simultaneously injected; though even
in the latter case they are not so instan-
taneous as nicotine. The lungs and air
passages of animals experimental upon
were found, on post-mortem examlna-
tion, to be greatly congested.
Messrs. Vogl and Gutenberg attribute
to the pyridine and picoline bases, and
not to nicotine, the painful symptoms
of the novice in smoking, as also the
poisonous effects of tobacco-juice when
swallowed. The fact that stronger to-
bacco can be used in the shape of cigars
than in the pipe, is explained by this,
that there are more of the volatile bases
in the smoke from the latter. Pyridine
is very volatile and stupefying, and
exists in pipe smoke abundantly, while
in cigar smoke but little of it is found,
though collidine is there in considera-
BILE quantity.
In the course of their experiments
the writer's compared the action of these
bases with that of the bases of other
plants used for smoking, dandelion,
willow wood, and stramonium. None
of these, however, except willow wood
contract the pupil. From these results
Messrs. Vogl and Eulenburg conclude
that the different effects of opium smok-
ing are due to difference III the pro-
portion of the bases produced by COM
bustiOn

The Rev. Howard Crosby, d. d., in
an article in the association Monthly
discussing the obligations and duties OF
Young men, uses these words: "Ihe
true girl has to be sought for. She
does not parade herself as show-goods.
She is not fashionable. Generally she
is not rich. But, oh! what heart she
has when you find her-so large, and
pure. and womanly! When you see 1t
YOU wonder if those showy things out
side are really women. If you gain her
love. your two thousand are million.
She'll not ask for carriage, or a first
class house. She will wear simple
dresses, and will turn them when it is
necessary, with no vulgar magnifcat to
frowu upon her company. She'll keep
everything neat and nice in your SKY
parlor, and give You such welcome
wheu you come home that you'll think
YOUR parlor higher than ever. She'll
entertain true friends on dollar, and
astonish you with new thought of how
very little happiness depends onmoney!
She'll make you love hsme-if youdont
you're brute-and teach you how to
pity, while you scorn, a poor fashlona,

yaialy tries to think itself happy"

careful: gave up his seat instantly to
that lame old man, showing that ne was
kind and thoughtful ; he took OIL his cap
when he came in, and answered my

showing he was polite and gentlemanly;
he picked up the book which hadpur--
posely laid upon the floor, and replaced
Il on the table, while allthe rest stepped
over it or showed it one side; and ne
waited quietly for his turn, instead OF
pushing and crowding, showing that ne
was honest and orderly. When talked
with him noticed that his clothes were
carefully brushed, his hair IN nice or,
der and his teeth as white as milk; and
when he wrote his name noticed that
his finger nails were clean, instead OF
being tipped with jet, like that hand

Doing Penance,

The wastes of New Mexico are likely
to become rs famous for penance and.
self.torture rs were the deserts of Egypt
in early Christian days. A recent traV,
eler in that region says that while at
Elizabethtown, New Mexico, lastspring,
his attention was called to a gang OF
forty men, who were carrying heavy
wooden crosses, and whipping them
selves. Some were stripped to their
lower undergarments, except a cloth
which covered their heads to prevent
recognition. They were walking slowly
along, and the blood was trickling from
their lacerated backs. One stout Me1l-
can, bearing a heavy cross upon his
CALLED shoulders, was being whipped by
two attendants. He staggered along
until close to church, when he fell to
the ground with the cross upon him. de
was then raised tohis feet, and his arms
extended by lashing them to q stick
which crossed his shoulders. These
penances are repeated every Lent.
