The Boy Whose Mother Cuts His
Hair.



You can always tell boy whose
mother cuts his hair. Not because
the edges of it look as if it had been
chewed off by an absent minded
horse, but you tell it by the way he
steps on the streets and wriggles
his shoulders. When fond mother
has cut her boys hair she is careful
to guard against any annoyance and
muss by laying a sheet on the car.
pet. 10 has never yet occurred to
her to sit him over a bare floor and
put the sheet around his neck.
Then she dra VS. the front hair over
his eyes and leaves IL there while
she cuts that which is at the back.
The hair which lies over his eyes ap.
peared to be surcharged with cleo
trio needles, and that which is silent
ly dropping down under his shirt
baud appears to be on fire. She has
occasionally continued to push his
head forward until his nose presses
on his breast, and is too busily en-
gagged to notice the snuffling that is
becoming alarmingly frequent. 10
the meantime he is seized with an ir-
resistible desire to blow his nose, but
recollects that his handkerchief is in
the other roon. Then fly lights
on his nose, and does it so unexpect-
eddy that he involuntarily lodges,
and catches the point of the shears
in his left ear. At this point be COM
mences to cry and wish he was a
man. But his mother doesn't notice
him. She merely hits him on the
other ear to inspire him with conf
dence, and goes on with the work.
When she is through she holds his
Jacket collar back from his neck, and
with her mouth blows the short bits
of hair from the top of his head down
his back. He calls her attention to
this fact, but she looks for new
place on his head and hits him there
and asks him why he didn't use his
handkerchief Then he takes his
awfully disfgured head to the mir
ror and young as he is, shudders as
he thinks of what the boys on the
street will say.

COLLEGE ExPENsEs.-The Watch
man and Reflector, in a very sensible
note on the growing expensiveness
of the institution Of "class day" in
American colleges, says that this
year it cost the graduating class at
Brown $50 apiece. Al Harvard the
expense was very much larger.
Probably Harvard rather beats the
average. but at all our colleges the
sums expended on class day are sur
prisingly large. Anything that
operates to make the higher educa-
ton more expensive is an abuse that
deserves no quarter. The expenses
of college education have increased
very rapidly during the last decade,
and altogether too large part of
this increase results from continual
calls tor contributions for purposes
of class parade and class enterprises
of all sorts, which students have no
sort of business to undertake, No
student likes to seem mean and so
pays over. The rich paterfamilias,
who is putting his boy through coI~
lege in high style, can stand this sort
of thing well enough, but it CON es
hard on poor folks who, by dint of
saving and scraping, are trying TO
give their boys the benefit of a coli
lege education. 1t is time this prac-
tice stopped. Faculties should frown
upon it. Rich students, out of con-
sideration for their poorer comrades,
should be hesitant about passing
round the hat, and poor students
who can only expect To get through
college by sailing pretty close to the
wind, should learn TO say no, at the
risk of being called stingy. There
are worse things than that, and one
OF them is the making too heavy a
draft on the scanty resources of un-
selfish parents.-SprinGfeId Union.

AN ENEMY TO STRAWBERRIES. -
Strawberry growers in the vicinity
OF Racine, Wis.,, complain that their
crop was not only short this season,
but that the plants in many cases
are dying. The only visible cause
of this trouble seems to be a very
active little yellow-headed, CHINA
mon colored worm, about half an
inch in length. This worm seems to
have n means of folding the leaves
bringing the upper surface of the
two sides together, and attaching
them by a sort of gummy web. The
leaves wither, and finally the plant
dies. The short crop and snbse-
quent death of the plants are by
many attributed to the dry weather,
but in the judgment of some grow
ers are caused by this worm. 1t
presents good case for entomologic-
al investigation.

tia and zinc, and that even iron is
rot adapted 70 uses so widely vari~

bring paper pulp to such a state of

as TO DO almost as dreprOof and indie.
structible as iron, and thus our rail-
road cars may DO made of paper, in
stead of iron, thereby preventing the
dangers now incurred in case of ac-

portion to weight, paper is, proba-
lily, tho strongest material Of con-

perfectly than any other substance
the qualities Of strength. lightness,
ileXibility, durability. and cheapness.
So many and various, too, are tho

that 1t can be manufactured in guam

ted with some show, telling tho
agent the original was lost while in
transit, and directing them to trace
her up. 1t first started nearly four
years ago from Chicago, being sent
to Galesburg, with fifty cents back
charges. Galesburg not willing to
stand the loss, sent it 70 Quincy, and
it has been going ever since. In the
spring of 1870 it was at Burlington,
and just three years from that date,
Monday, it arrived here again. 1t
has been TO hundreds Of Offices of tb e
company, from Ohio to California.
1t has made the round Of Western
States and Territories. as far south
as Los Angeles and north to Puget
Sound, and in all the principal offices
west of the Alleganies. Hundreds
of dollars have been paid on it, and
the only way for an agent to get
his money back is to send it on to
another place. EaIf a sheet of com-
mercial note, ana photograph was
its original size. 1t now forms q
volume of two or three hundred
pages, and large collection Of pic

each removal, than any agent will
be wiling to stand, and it viii prob

The Age of the Earth.

The new method of aseel tanning
the age of the earth, which is a pres
ent topic inGerman scientific circles,
attempted to determine approx
mately the time at which the fiery
liquid earthball for the first time
severed its self with a solid crust.
This is done by the means of the diff.
ference of the longest and shortest
diamater of the earth. According to
the calculations of Newton and Hu7-
gems this would be 1-27S, if the rota-
ton OF the earth had always boen
completed in twenty-four hours,
while, in fact it amounted to 1928,
which is equivalent to a rotation
time of seventeen hours and sixteen
minutes, which must once have been
the earth's time of rotation. 1t is,
however, probably, for reasons which
need not be gone into here, that at
the time the earth was covering it's
self with firm crust the time of ro-
tation was already q mean between
the original and the present time
That retardation of the rotation
time has taken and is still taking
place j. now as good as proved, al
though formly it was strongly doubt
ed. OF all heavenly bodies. it is the
moon whom astronomers know best,
and have most exactly calculated
from her movements. Now the co.
etficience Of the secular acceleration
of the moons course, as found on the
one hand from the oldest observatious
of eclipses, on the other from theory
are at variance, and there are vari-
GUS differences which ought not to
exist in the calculations of so wei
observed a body. Agreement car
only be obtained when it is suppos.
ed that during the two Thousand
years which have passed since the
Greeks first calculated the eclipses,
the rotation of the earth has been re
tarded 0.01l97 seconds. There ex
lets no difficulty about the causes O
this retardation, which is perfectly
well explained by the tides. From
the cypher thus found it easily cal
culated how much time will be re.
CURED to cause q retardation eff near
ly tour hours, and the result is tina
since the firm crust of the earth form
ed itself, more than two thousaut
million of years have elapsed
