consequence is, that the savage inhales
through his nostrils an atmosphere heated
and purified by special apparatus, while
the other inspires through his mouth an
atmosphere too cold and impure for the
delicate respiratory organs. Hence the
prevalence in civilized countries of
bronchial and pulmonary diseases, and
especially of that fell scourge, consump-
ton. Mr.. Catlin buttresses his main
argument by others of various sorts, not
the least convincing of them being contain

doubt he rides his hobby too hard and too
far, but what he says is not devoid of a
good deal of truth. In another of its
aspects. the habit referred to is equally
reprehensible. Every one who has seen
and heard Paterfamilias take his post

NoIsELEss FoRoEs-The greatest forces
in nature are the most nolseless. Light
is one. 1t comes in with velvet feet, roll
ing back the darkness, drying up the
mists, starting afresh the springs of life,
purifying the air of its noxious gasses, yet
does its work SO quietly that the slumbers
of an infant are not disturbed. Growth
and development are other noiseless forces.
If the expansion of fibre and frame, the
swelling of muscles and vibrating of
nerves, the heart beats, and currents of
blood, which are continually going on in
our bodies, were in proportion to their
action, like the clatter of machinery, what
deafenng din they would make, If the
forces which send up each spire of grass,
and lift plants and trees to their places,
bursting seeds and breaking the ground
above them if those long fingers, which
reach down from the sun like hydraulic
rams, drawing water from rivers, lakes
and ocean; all these operations or
milIionth palt of them were to give forth
a sound kindred to the noise of human
activities, what bedIam the world would
be! But they act noIselessly, yet so might
ly as to demonstrate beyond question. that
the greatest forces work silently. The
same is true of moral and social influences.
The weight of word, the force of truth
the power of a principle, in the mind or
heart Of a man, that changes, corrects or
governs his life, gave no report at the
moment they reached him. They fell as
silently as the snow-fakes fall into the
water and are swallowed up. The revo-
lutons and conflicts that are going On in
society work quietly until the hour of
their outbreak. The still small roice y
was mightler to the prophet of Horeb than
the earthquake, the fire or the tempest.
The quiet life, the gentle ways, and the
loving hearts of the mothers, are greater
in their influence on the characters and
destines Of their children than ali the
forums or pulpits in the land. The silent
tongue Of the press, that goes into every
intelligent home, is more powerful than
the most eloquent orators. The legisla-
tion of the country and the morals of
society have their palladium in the noise
less but mighty forces that are working in
the hearts and brains of the people. Intelii-
gence is the mother of the peace and
prosperity of the State butt works quiet

\ NEW ACCOUNT OF THE DELUGE-The
learned men of England have been in session
to hear and discuss the discoveries made by
Mr.. George Smt of the British Museum in
MS researches among ancient tablets. His
revelations have caused a sensation among
scientific men. According to MIR. Smith.
his tablets were found in the library of As
surbanipal, King OF Nineveh, and date from
600 B. Z. They are, however, but copies
of inscriptions yet older than themselves,
which were in the days Assurbanipal pre-
served in the great city of Erech, or Warka
"a city as ancient as Babylon, and COM
pared with which Damascus is but a mush-
room growth of yesterday. The text itself
cannot possibly be less than three thousand
five hundred years old, and is probably
much older. It dates from the reign of a
monarch called lziubar, or Zorostcr-who
conquered Belesu-Belus, or Baal-and took
bis crown and throne. Thus victorious. L.

the immortal separate the two. But across

MONKEYS APING THEIR Masters
Thomas FIudley, importer of blooded fowls
and proprietor of saloon on Leidesdorff
street, recently augmented the stock of
curiosities in his saloon by the addition of
two large and intelligent monkeys. The
animals arrived on the last steamer from
the Orient They were formally intro
duced to the chief barkeeper, who rendered
them the freedom Of the saloon. The Gus
toners watched the antics of the two
strangers with eager interest, dubbed them
Jim and Susie, and voted j i'm fellow OF
infinite Jest. Susie went to bed at rea
sonable hour, and did not object to being
locked IN her cage; but j i'm wonld not tol-
crate the advances Of any one when near
his cage, and was left roosting over door
when the time for closing the saloon ar
rived
Next morning when the barkeeper
opened the door, he saw something dodg-
Ing through the air, and lodged his head
just in time to escape a sound blow. He
peeped into the window and saw Jim
perched on tall ale cask, with pile of
boxes around him, evidently waiting for
the temperance of the barkeeper's head.
The latter procured reinforcements and
sought to overawe Jim. The monkey, evil
IDENTIFY determined not to yield without a
desperate struggle, gathered all the availa-
bic soda bottles and boxes and chunks of
wood about his stronghold, and upon the
advance Of the barkeeper and his COM
mand hurled the missiles toward the ene-
my with great rapidity and precision and
as long the ammunition held out he CO Id
not be dislodged. Finally Jim was
brushed with club and persuaded to keep
quiet. The strong smell Of liquor that
permeated the air caused the bar-keeper
to look around with anxiety, and well he
might. Jim had emptied whisky and
brandy upon the floor, treated Susie to
whisky until she succumbed to its effects
and was in a beastly state of intoxicatioD,
and he had filled all of the bottles with
sawdust, the damage amounting to $40.
Mr.. FIndley no longer takes any interest
in monkeys, but will cheerfully give infor-
nation on the subject to persons of an in
quirng turn of mind or direct them to

the Quaker took his place by his side,
giving the new conner the middle of the

out of his wits, now set forward at rap

covered his yivacity. He was especially
facetious on the Quaker's prowess.
Sooner than we expected the coach

redistribution of our effects until we

the process somewhat difficult. 1t was

For constructive purposes the wood OF
the cork tree is almost valueless. 1t not
only decays rapidly, but its sap, from which
no drying ever quite frees it, corrodes nails
driven into it. But the value of the bark
fully compensates for the inferior quality
of the wood in fact the bark of the cork
tree, although like other oaks it bears
acorns, may be regarded as its fruit. In
its native state, every few years, it sloughs
its old covering and takes on new. This

The Years Twelve Children.

January, worn and gray,
Like an old pilgrim by the way,
Watches the snow, and shivering signs,
AS the wild curlew round him flies;
Or, huddled underneath thorn,
Sits praying for the lingering morn.
February, bluff and bold,
Oer burrows strding scorns the coldj
And with his horses two abreast,
Makes the keen plough do his behest.
Rough March comes clustering down the road,
In his wrath-hand the oxen's goad;
Or, with rough and angry haste,
Scatters the seed Ger the dark waste.
April, a child, half tears, half smiles,
Trips full of little playful wiies;
And, laughing meath her rainbow hood,
Seeks the wild violets in the woods.
May, the bright maiden, singing goes,
To where the hawthorn blows,
Watching the lambs leap in the dell,
Listening the simple village bells.
June, with tine mowers scarlet face.
Moves o'er the clover field apace,
And fast his crescent scythe sweeps on
Ger spots from whence the lark has flown.
July-the farmer, happy fellow,
Laughs TO see the corn grow yellow;
The heavy grain he tosses up
From his tight hand as from a cup.
Augustine reaper cleaves the way
Through the golden waves at break of day;
Or, on his wagon piled W lth corn,
At sunset, home is proudly borne.
September, with his braying hound,
Leaps fence and pale at every bound,
And casts into the wind in scorn
All cares and dangers from his horn.
October comes woodman old,
Fenced With tough leather from the cold;
Round swings his sturdy axe, and 10,
\ Iir brarch falls at every blow.
November covers before the flame,
Bleared crone, forgetting her own nameI
Watches the blue SMOKE curling rise.
And broods upon old memories.
December, fat and rosy strides,
His old heart warm, we'll clothed his sides,
With kindly word for young and old,
The cheerier for the bracing cold;
Laughing a welcome, open filings
His doors, as he does 1t sings.

CoRKs.-Cork is the bark of the ever.
green oak known as Quercus suber. 1t
grows plentifully in the south of France,
in parts of Italy. in Spain, Portugal and
Algiers. Commerce is indebted to Portu-
gal for its largest supply. There the cork
tree, majestic in size and rugged in cover
ing, its branches sweeping gracefully over
the flower studded green sward, and its
foliage of brightest green, is monarch of
the forest. The fawn color Of the lesser
limbs and the tawny gray of the body
furnish emphatic and pleasing contrast to
the leaves. Cork oaks form the royal
parks, and shade the piazzas of palatial
mansions. Single trees of gigantic size,
sacred as manorial heir-looms or from
historical associations. whose branches
through centuries have been growing gray
with moss, are regarded with almost super
stitious veneration.
