NAN IND THE LOWER Creation

NAN IND THE LOWER CREATION.
GAS general law" remarks an able
philosopher on the subject. "the power
of repairing lost parts decreases as we
ascend from the lower to the higher parts
of the animal scale. In the lowest and
simplest forms of animal life, as in poly
pes, separated segments sometimes be-
come developed into whole and perfect
individuals. A hydra (fresh water
polype) was cut at different times into
various portions by Trembley, and fifty
separate individuals of the species were
developed from the segments of one. If
a man loses leg, he has the capacity
and means to procure tolerable substi-
tute. A lobster losing its atenn@, or feel
ers, has no such resource, and would die
outright, if nature did not take it in
hand. According to age, it will get new
atenn@, in from SIX weeks to six months.
In the reproductive phenomena, time
plays an important part. A lizard, when
you try to seize it, escapes by leaving its
tail in your hand. Only for short
period is it tailless, SO far as outward ap-
pearance goes. A new tail begins grow
ing, and is seemingly completed in from
two to three months. The fresh and
very satisfactory-looking tail, however,
is not yet properly filed up. The interior
tissues of nerves, muscles, and veins
are there, but not the vertebra. So long
does it take to get new backbone that
naturalists at one time believed that this
part of the structure was never recovered.
1t is now ascertained that good vertebra

THE NEW ENGLAND SABBATH.

In 1916 they made a law in Massachu-
sets, that if any one contemptuously
behaved towards We word preached, or
We messengers therefor.-For We first
scandale to be convented and reproved
openly by We magistrate at some lecture,
and bound to good behavior; and if a
second time they break forth into We like
contemplate carriage, either to pay e5
into We publick treasury, or to stand two
hours openly upon a block four feet
high, on a lecture day, with paper
affixed on their heart, with this, A WAN
TON GosPELLER, written in capital letters;
We others may fear and be ashamed of
breaking out into We like wickedness."
In 1877 the general court ordered that
"a cage be set mp in the market-place
of Boston, and in such other town as the
county courts shall appoint, wherein
shall be put, to remain till examined and
punished, any one breaking the Sab
bath" For the prevention of the pro-
fanation of the Sabbath and disorders on
Saturday night, "by horses and carts
passing late out of We town of Boston,
it was ordered that there should be
ward, &c from sunset, on Saturday night,
until nine of the clock or AFTER" and no
cart was to pass ont of the town after
sunset, nor any footman or horseman,
without good account of the necessity of
his business. Officers called tythingmen
enforced the observance of the Sabbath.
The law provided that, as badge of
Office, they should have ''black staff of
two foote long, tipt at one end with brass,
about three inches" The staff soon came
to have a feather stuck into one end,
with which to tickle the noses of drowsy
sinners, while the end tipped with brass
enforced order on the pates of unruly
boys. In this manner was the congre-
cation kept attentive during the sermon,
which generally lasted about an hour
and a half, measured by an hour-glass

HOW Potatoes CAME INTO CIVIL
IZ4TION.

The potato is one of the many really
valuable things worth nothing to man
till their use is discovered. That the
world knew nothing of the value of pc
tatoes till about two hundred years ago
shows what rich secrets Nature has for
her children, and how long she can keep
them. Many blessings are probably hid
den now in the earth, and even in the
common growth Of the fields, which will
be found out and considered quite indis-
pensable. A writer gives this interesting
sketch of the history of the potato, con-
tanning some particulars which We have
never before printed:
When the Spaniards conquered Peru
in the sixteenth century, they carried
some potatoes to Europe and sent them
to the Pope. The new plant was cultivated
little in Spain, Italy, Burgundy, and
the Netherlands, and from a certain re-
semblance to the truffie, an esculent fun
gus growing in the earth, the Italians
gave them the name of Tartuff, or Tara
tufoli, whence the Germans derived their
word, Kartoffel The French called them
s'apples of the EARTH" Pommes de terre,
while in Austria and portions lof Ger
many the acknowledgements, Erdapfel,
is used.
DR.. Hawkins first introduced them into
England in 1865; Walter Raleigh brought
them there in 1884, and finally Admiral
Drake in 1886. The latter sent some TO
a friend to plant, with the remark that
the fruit was excellent and nutritious,
and would be very usetul in Europe.
His friend planted the tubers, and they
grew nicely. But when the seed-balls
were ripe, he took the seeds instead of
the tubers, and fried them in butter, and
sprinkled sugar and cinnamon over
them, and placed them before some COM
pany as a great rarity. OF course the
ball tasted disgustingly, and the assembly
concluded that the fruit would no. ripen
in Europe. The gardener pulled up the
plants and burned them. A gentleman
who Glanced to be present stepped on
one of the baked potatoes as it lay In the
ashes, when it broke open, and he noticed
that it was white as snow, and mealy, and
had such an agreeable smell that he
tasted it and found it to be very palata-
BILE. The new vegetable was IL As rescued,
but for century after it was only cul-
tivated in the garden, and in 1860 the
Queen of England made. the remark in
her house-book that pound of potatoes
cost two shillings about fifty cents. !,

LEARN a TRADE.

never look at my old steel composing
rule that / do not bless myself that while
my strength lasts am not at the mercy
OF the world. If my pen is not wsnted,
can go back to the type case and be
sure to find work for I learned the
printers trade thoroughly = newspaper
work, Job work, book work and press
work am glad / have a good trade.
1t Is a rock upon which the possessor
can stand firmly. There is health and
vigor for both body and mind in an hon
est trade. 1t is the strongest and surest
part of the self-made man. Go from the
academy to the printing Office or to the
artisans bench, or if you please, to the
farm-for, to be sure, true farming is a
trade. and grand one at that. Lay thus
sure foundation, and after that branch
OH INTO what profession you please.
You have heard, perhaps, of the clerk
who had faithfully served Stephen Girard
from boyhood to manhood On the
twenty-first anniversary of his birthday
he went to his master and told him his
time was up, and he certainly expected
important promotion in the merchants
service; but Stephen Girard said to him:
Every well ; now go and learn a
trade"
''What trade, sir!''
"Good barrels and butts must be in
demand while you live. Go and learn
the cooper's trade, and when you have
made perfect barrel, bring it to me-"
The young man went away and learned
the trade, and in time brought to his old
master asplendid barrel of his own make
Girard examined it, and gave the maker
$1,000 for it and then said to him:
"Now, sir, 1 want You in my count
ing room but henceforth yoS will no
be dependent upon the within of Stephen
Girard. Let what will come, you have a
good trade always in reserve.
The young man saw the wisdom and
understood.
Years ago when the middle-aged men
of to-day were boys, Horace Greeley
wrote:
1T Is source of consolation TO us
that when the public shall be tired of us
as an editor, we can make satisfactory
livelihood at setting type or farming, so
that while our strength lasts, ten thous-
and blockheads, taking offence at some
article they do not understand, could not
drive us into the poor-house."

A Rat CArcHER.-A professional rat
catcher is meeting with considerable sue
cess in Albany. He wears upon his feet
shoes that are perfectly noiseless, and,
armed with 2 dark lantern, pair OF
tongs and wire cage, enters the place
where the game is supposed to be. The
binding fash of the lantern is said to so
bewilder the rat that he stands perfectly
still and allows the man to pick him up
with tongs and safely deposit him in the
receptacle provided for imprisonment.

REASONS FOR GOING 4BROAD.

There are many men who waste all
their estates to gaze upon the estates of
others, and then think they have made
a good bargain. 1t is useless to tell
su ch men that we have fine scenery and
noble cities in our own country. Even
journey across the continent, so fire.
quently recommended to those who go.
abou, seeking some new thing, does not
satisfy people who want amusement.
Even the minor matter of eating and
drinking is grievance with the
pleasure-seeker who says he cannot en-
JOY travel in our own country. He says
it is not by any means minor affair
Perhaps he cannot take in the beauties
of ths Alleghanies while he is trying to
digest blazing hot dinner, bolted in ten
minutes at Altoon Perhaps he is un-
fitted to absorb the loneliness ot New
port beach when he reflects what great
price he pays for a miraculous display of
little dabs of cooked stuff spread before
him three times day by an unwhole-
some and naughty waiter. Or, if he
fancies he might enjoy Southern win
ter, he reflects with terror on the fried
pork and corn dodger which will well
come him at every table from the Ohio
river to the Gulf of Mexico. The trav-
eler knows that the Latin race has some

or all practical purposes may be restored

for all practical purposes may be restored
after two or three years. AS for the
green lizard, its new tail is of q gray
color, and not until the beginning of the
third year does the green return. 1t
seems the dormouse has been expert
mented on, with view to see how it
wouid recover a lost tail; the process was
somewhat slow, for the animal is pro-
foundry asleep in winter, during which
time the vital force is nearly suspended.
A tail, it is said, was recovered, but it
was rather short, and the creature-a
martyr to science-died in three months.

LITTLE JOHNNY,S COMPOSITIONS
THE HIPPO.


Their hole name is hippopopo.amus-
ses, but hippo is there pet name, like my
sister is call Missy, tho she is CRATE big
girl, but not so big as hippo. Uncle
Ned he says hippo means a horse, but if
that is so / think the man that first said
it was fool, COS horse is easier to say,
and these animils assent any more like q
horse than Mister Briley the butchers
meat block is like game of crokay.
Hippose is found in Africa, but wen
you have foun one wot can you do It's
like man witch was lookin for other
man to give him good hidin, and Wen
he come up to him he said my fine teller,
I've foun you now, and the other man he
said he had, that was fack, and wen he
said it he pick up big stick. Then the
first man wot spoke said yes, I've foun
you at last, and the other man said he
cuddent deny it, and was rolen up his
sleeve. Then the first man witch spoke
said did he kno wot street they wos in,
and the other man he said course do,
you raskil, it is Cliff street. Then the
first man witch spoke said o, if you amt
lost it was no use indin you, and he
walked way as fass as he could.
There is two Impose in the menagerie,
and little hippo witch is Guy Fox.
Uncle Ned he says calm Guy Fox little
makes him think of wen he was in Cali
forny, cos one day they was a young
vale come shore, and every boldly was
goin to the beach to see it. and it was
long like tug bote and thicker than a
ephalent, but young lady witch went
with uncle Ned lookt at it and said jest
to think of such tiny creetur havin no
mother, mite she take it in her lap if she
weud be carefull And every woman
witch came to see it said wot sweet little
vale.
Did you ever see the Impose at the
menagerie hole open their mouths for
biscits I tel you its fritefe til you git
use to it. Vile one is bein fed the
other is off to one side watchin, and
wen it sees the biscit in the other mouth
it winks its eye, and the other shuts its
mouth and swollers, cost you mite put q
hole lofe in their mouths and they wud-
dent kno it less the other tole 'em, but
that way they don't vase no time on bad
boys witch makes believe.
Wen my sister toks to her dicky bird
1 spose it thinks like We do about the
hippo, wot horrid CRATE mouth But
if she new it thot that spect she would
fine out it was wicked to keep birds in
cages, and wud sci it for jus wot any
boldly would give, but Wen it comes to
birds l 60 in for eagles, witch wops all the
uthrs, and flies roun, and roun, and up,

THE BREAD NE EAT.

The nutritive properties of the bread
we eat are well worthy of consideration.
The solid parts of the human body con-
sist principally of three portions-the
fat, the muscle and the bone, and these
three substances, being liable to constant
waste, must be renewed from the food.
The fluid parts of the body contain these
substances in liquid form, on their way
to or from the several parts of the body,
where they are required. They include
also portion of salt or salipe matter
which is also obtained from the food.
Now it is evident that the food which is
best calculated to nourish the body is
that which contains all the ingredients
which are required to form its solid and
liquid parts. The three substances most
needed exist plentifully in vegetable
food.
There is much difference between the
fine flour and whole meal of wheat when
their nutritive points are carefully ex-
smined. The grain of wheat consists of
two parts, the inner grain aud the skin
that covers it. The inner gives the pure
white flour, the outer, when separated,
forms the bran. The miller cannot en-
tirely separate the bran, but by the aid
OF machinery he does so more or less
completely; his seconds, middlings, etc.,
owing their color to the proportion of
bran contained in them. The whole
meal, of which brown household bread
is made, consists of the entire grain
ground together-used as it comes from
the mill stones, unsifted, therefore con-
tanning all the bran.
The first -four, therefore, contains
scarcely any bran, while the whole meal
contains all the bran as well as the -four.
How much do they respectively contain
of the several constituents of the human
body and how much is contained in the
BRAN
From analyses made by the late Prof.
Johnston, of England, 1000 of the

From this it appears that bran is much
richer III fat than the inferior part of the
grain, and whole meal is richer than the
fine -four in the proportion of nearly one
half.
From experiments made with wheat
and Indian corn it was ascertained that
1000 pounds of the fine -four contained
of muscular matter respectively:
Whole Grain. Fine Flour,
lbs lbs
Wheat. ............... .15S 100
Anuian corn l4O ITO
1t will be seen from this that the whole
grain of wheat contains one-fifth more of
the material out of which animal muscle
is to be formed, than the finest flour
does.
OF bone material and saline matter,
which may be called the mineral constit-
uents of the animal body, 1000 pounds

tain, respectively

From this it appears that in regard to
this important part of food necessary to
man and domestic animals, and especial
ly to the young who are growing, and to
the mother who is giving milk, whole
meal is three times more nourishing than
fine -four Western Rural.
