GIN on 1hK PLAINS.
AS moss agatesare usually discovered in the
loose Plains gravel, they have been supposed TO
owe their present deposit 20 "crigt" their origi-
nal home having been in the north. Professor
Nudge has found, however, surprising as il
see ms, that they originated in the pIIocene de-
Yosits of Kansas. In come localities this plio-
Gene consists of a sedimcntary silicious dspOait
formed OF material varying from coarse flint
quartz TO chalcecony. OXyd of manganese
more or less cTystaluzed In minute moss Ike
springs, extend through the whole strata, " hich
is often eight feet tAick. The "agates" are
mainly found in tue upper six inches, aud some
of them are remarkably beautiful. The whole
q ass Is very Interesting to the mineTalO2ist as
showing the so called 'FmOss- agate" through
the whole process OF its formation. The lower
portion indicates an imperfect solution of the
silica and Oxyd OF manganese, but the upper
few mel e., where the best specimens are found
eYiGce the de post in high state of chemical
development. This "mOssagate" deposit
forms the caIstOck of all the high bills in the
vicinity Ut Sheridan, on the Kansas Pa

~ detected in appearance from the real gem.
Prof IS Nudge thinks that the agencies which
produced this singular freak OF nature must
rave been similar 10 the action of the shot
-pIipIs" Of Iceland and yellow tone Park, the
ot5y known natural agency that will make silica
out Of organic substances. The fact Is a Curio Is

Professor Marsh, OF Yale, is already giving it

No sooner has one insurrec:ion been eup-
pressed by Federal authority than another
springs up to divert public attention and found
8 prete1t for Executive interference. It is clear
that the country is fast going to the dogs. The
insolence Of Office and tho proud mans con-
tumely are nimble team. and their gait is lov
down in the twentes. The last and most heart
rcndlng instance Of Legislative oppression comes
from West Virginia, where tyrannical Legisla-
tuEc has apparently interfered to prohibit the
free digging OF ginseng. Does anybody, know
what ginseng is? Webster calls it Pana1 Quin-
quefolium, and SAYS it is much admired By tho
Chinese. It grows in China and Amer
1ca. 4 benehcent National Legislature
has imposed / tax Of 90 per cent upon it to
prevent the inglorious beathen from importing
it into this country and interfering in the home
production. And NOW the Legislature OF West
Virginia has restricted the Industrious citizen in
his ginseng digging. Such action, cruel aud op-
pressiye, has threatened to produce revolution
No 1iberty-loring citizen OF West Virginia Is going
to give up his ginseng withour protest, any
more than an Ohio saloon-keeper lis gln-sling.
So Of course the ginseng diggers Of West Vlr-
ginia have met and passed resolutions, every
American ought to when any OF his rights, from
peanut to reaitentiary, are endangered The
resolutions are as follows:
N'HFazAs The COWS can roam the Forests and eat
graEH the. coEtnon the eheep feed the
ounsau-siGes By natural and indtfeasihle right

NnEEEAs, We, human beings. created in the image

Gesofrcd, That the Eaid Legislature waa made up
mostly Of stses; and further,
l7zxo!r<d, That. although Democrats, will
vote zno:her Democratic ticket Until tire Sang
law Is repealed.
It will readily be seen that tie gin-sang
diGgers are men of no ordinary intelligence.
They mean business, too They exhibit COM
rrehenson OF the situation compared with which
the ordinary grasp OF political Affairs is lament
ably weak. They EhoE themselves as familiar
with natural history as with tho character of
politicians, aud they are candid and outspoken
in their opinions. No wonder they appeal to

A Chiid's Memory.

When a child is endowed with that
most excellent thing-a good memory
common sense should teach his guar
diqns or instructors that he must be re.
strained from overtaXing it; yet, we
read that a. certain lad aged twelve
years, repeated in Sunday school, with
out one h,under, five hundred and fif-
teen verses from the Bible What makes
the accompli thment of this fact the
more remarkable is the fact that the
poor child is usually employed during
the day, and mem prized these verses by
the light Of fire built in his yard at
nie ht I! NAV also he mentioned that
he has Eefer attended any other than a
Smday-school Now, the question is
this: What purpose does such giean-
tic strain upon memory serve? The
precocious boy probably repeats his
lesson as parrot might, without in the
least understanding that which he re
cites; whereas by thoroughly learning
Lalf a dozel verses, he not onay under
stands what he learns. but reserves q
useful faculty for pre- fitabe uses.
