THE WATER on THE SEA.


Nearly the whole sea IS, four
times day, subject 70 q change
in its level by The motemchas
Of its tides. The motion pFo-
duced by the winds and known
by the name OF waves is much,
less regular. The wind, styik-
ing the surface Of the sea in an
oblique direction, pushes some
of the water on the surface ogel.
that which is contiguous TO ie,i
and thus raises it above the
common level until 50 much
water is accumulated that tfe
wind is unable To maintain III
"a that position ff isIis
down. Each wave presents a
gently ascending surface to the
windward, and a particular de-
scent leeward. The elevation
Of the waves varies according
to the strength of the wind. A
very heavy gale raises them
from six to eight feet above the
common level; but in very
strong gales they attain an ele-
walton of thirty feet. This mo-
ton of the surface of the sea is
not perceptible to great depth.
In the strongest gales it is sup
posed not to extend beyond
seventy-two feet below the sur
face; and at a depth Of ninety
feet, the sea is perfectly still.
The form and even the size
of the waves vary according to
the depth and extent of the sea.
In shallow water where the
lower part of the waves ap-
proaches the bottom and meets
with resistance, the waves are
abrupt and irregular, and this
is also the case in confined seas (:
whilst on the open seas they
are wide and long, and rise and
fall with great regularity
When the waves run to a slow
shore, the slope of the ground
breaks their force and they ter

but when they are impelled
against an elevated rocky coast,
being repelled by the rock, they
produce what is called swG

dred feet above Tire yea IG75T.
This surf is always dangerous
to pass, except in boats Of a
peculiar construction. The
waves do not subside simulta
neously with the wind. The
sea continues in an agitated
state for many hours. The air
being little agitated or none at
all is unable to depress the I'M
dulation of the sea, and there
fore the waves during q calm
after a gale rise higher and
their elevated part forms a
more accurate angle than dur
ing a gale. Such a state of sea
is called a hollow sea.

The Toledo, Ohio, Sun is Of
the opinion that of the $780,
100000 collected from debtors
by lawyers in this country in a
year, one-half the amount re-
mains in the hands of the
plaintiffs lawyers, while an
equal amount goes into the
hands Of the attorneys for the
defense. This may be a little
extravagant, but il is safe to
say that seventy-fve per cent.
of all collected through the
courts is consumed by the ex-
penses account. The Sun adds.
"Better would it be for the peo-
pie if all laws for the collection
Of debts were abolished"

Miscelgneons Reading.
THE BITTER COUNTRY.

The man of severe toll, ac-
customed to fatigue, whether of
the brain or of the muscles,
thinks Of heaven as a place of
rest. The man whose lot is
cast among vicious associates
looks to heaven as the place of
pure society. The poor man is
interested in heaven as the
place of satisfied want. The
mourner for departed kindred
attaches great Importance to the
ideas ofreunion and recognition.
Analyze the conceptions which
any Christian forms of heaven,
and they will be found to have
been shaped by something spe-
cial in his personal experience.
The prominent points in his
hope are in contrast with GER
tain prominent points in his
earthly condition. He thinks
Of some present discomfort or
annoyance, and anticipates it's
opposite in another world.
What troubles him most in this
life is he delighted to believe will
be absent from the life to come.
Hence the value to SO many of
the various negatives by which
heaven is described in the Book
Of books. 1t is refreshing to
know that certain evils are not
there, and never will be there.
When Robert Hall, who was
for years = physical sufferer,
was asked what idea of heaven
was most constant in his mind,
he replied, in an interval of par
oxysms of piercing anguish,
"Neither shall there be any more
painl" Another, in different Cir
cumstances, would have answer
ed, ono sorrow," or ''No disap-
pointed hopes" or "No sin"
Take the single idea, NO" and
see how comforting it must be to
millions. What else do most
men so earnestly deprecate? For
the removal of what else do they
more devoutly pray, or more
persistently labor? Well, God
says there shall be no pain in
heaven, Whatever may be the
nature of the Spiritual body"
one thingis certain, it will be
subject to suffering. No feyered
blood, no innamed tissues, no
broken bones, no twinging
nerves, no ohstructed respiration
none of the thousand casulties
and forms of disease will be there
which here afflict humanity. All
in heaven is perfect health.
In this world how often does
pain, which no medical skill, no
curative agent, no tender ASST
duty of friends can relieve,
make life a burden and prompt
the desire for it's termination |!
In eternal life there will be no
evil to render existence tedious,
or excite a wish for its discontin-
uance. Here some sufferer ev-
cry hour is exclaiming, "Why
would you detain me? Let me
go. To die is gain" There,
as nothing can interfere with alb
solute ease, so nothing will di-
minish the enjoyment of the
whole being or make the per-
petuity of it's condition dis

Raiging Chickeng.

I desire to write what know Of rails
ing turkeys and chickens. The recipes
given for curing chickens of the gapes,
such as whites OF eggs, corn meal with
pepper, wheat soaked in turpentine,
and number of others, are of little If
any value. The gapes IN chickens are
caused by small worms getting into the
windpipe. I have raised thousands upon
thousands of chickens, bought and sold
chickens, and believe that gapes is
contagious disease, for my chickens
never had them until I brought strange
chickens. I have tried many cures, and
there are none that amount to anything
except the horse-hair. By inserting the
horse-hair IN the chickens windpipe
you draw the small red worm out, and
this at once relieves the chicken, and
the gapes are cured.
In regard to raising turkeys. the best
plan is to feed them on milk made into
a cheese with wheat and wheat screen
ings. In time of rain keep them in the
dry, for when they get wet they get
draggIed and die. Corn meal I have
tried, and upon clear examination I
find that it does not agree with them,
and in some instances kills them. Old
turkeys 7 think do best out in the cold
on trees, rather than in sheltered
places. Let every farmer be cautious
of what he feeds young turkeys until
they are ten weeks old. I know that
the foregoing is correct, for I have tried
many plans, and experience is always
the best guide.-Readiag Gazette.

CHARITY.

In the practice of this virtue exists
one of the easiest duties to perform.
and one Of the "best Safeguards
against the Ills of life" 1t is doublv
blessed; blessing him who gives, as
we'll rs the recipient. It is a plant di
vine, fed and nourished by the hand of
Omnipotence to engender kindly feel
ings among the children of men. As
Odd Fellows we are particularly called
to practice it, to introduce it into our
daily walk, and make it a part of our
business, 1t does not interfere with
our work, or take from us any time that
should be otherwise employed. Upon
the other hand, it adds to our business.
by making it pleasant; and leaving no
sting behind, leaves us with that pecu-
liar, delightful feeling which only the
practice of virtue and kindly Offices can
originate. It is our duty to practice
charity. We learn this not only from
the teachings of the golden rule, but
either directly or by implication, from
every degree known to the order, be-
ginning with the initiation.
By charity, is not meant aims, or mo-
ney giving; but that peculiar state of
the mind and affections which creates
love, liberation, and disposition to
conceal from public gaze the faults of
our brothers. Need you reveal slight
backsiding of your brother? Remem-
Der, man, human nature is fallible, and
SO intended the Almighty God, else no
had created it otherwise and that the
best of us are subject to go astray. In
such an event there is a kindly admoni-
ton, not harsh criticism. We are A
band of brothers, bound by every tie of
sociability and obligation of honor, to
support, protect, defend, and warn each
other. Is it proper to speak to tie pub
lie of brothers slight shortcomings,
or even of his vices? Verify not; and
the Odd Fellow who does it has either
forgotten his duty, or wilfully violates
it. II the brother needs correction take
the proper steps in the lodge, and let
outsiders know nothing of the matter.
Tolerate the principles and the belief
of all. If one chooses to hold different
opinions from myself upon the subject
of religion, politics, or any other mat
ter. should I therefore discard him as a
a friend? Remember that this world
is one great brotherhood of men, under
the supervision of one common Father
hood, and that each brother has a right
to his own peculiar tenents, as much so
as we have right to ours. Then tole-
rate his principles; give him the credit /
of being honest in his professions until /
the contrary be proven. As Odd Eel
lows, we all kneel at common altar, /
and recognize that great, mcomprehen- |
sible Being who manages the machinery /
of the universe, and counts the hairs of 4
our heads. Has he a distinguishing
mark between the jew, the Christian. I
or the Musselman? If that all-power-
ful mind has no distinction Why should
