lake CHEW ?--There are four little girls
10 Milwaukee, two of them the daughters of a
Southside fisherman, one the daughter of a
German carpet weaver, and the other Third
ward lassle banned Annie, who are employed
by certain we'll known and wealthy tobacco
dealer to pick up whatever may be found in
saloons, on the streets and in the gutters at
one cent fer every ten pieces, whether large or
small: Every cigar stump and discarded "quid"
IS picked up, no matter how dirty it may be,
no matter who has used, or where it is found.
These are used in the manufacture of both
choice" Havana cigars and paper chewing
tobacco. The longer aud better "stumps'' are
unrolled and used for the former purpose, while
the ''quids, short stumps, and soaked and
rotten tips" are made into chewing tobacco.
There is something detachable 10 contemI la
ton of all this. These children make from
80 cents to 81 so per day. When large and
we'll soaked lump is found the little rascals d.

Advice to Boys.

Be brisk, energetic and prompt. The
world is full of boys, and men too, who
drawl through life, and decide on nothing
for themselves, but just draggle one leg
after the other, and let things take their
own way. Such people are the dull stuff
of the earth. They hardly deserve as
much credit as the wooden trees, for
trees do all they can in merely growing,
and bearing only leaves and seeds. But
the poor drawling, draggling boys do not
turn their capacities to profit half as far
as they might be turned they are un-
profitable like rainy day in the harvest
time. Now the brisk, energetic boy will
be Continually awake, not merely with
his bodily eyes but with his mind and at
tention during the hours of business.
After he learns what he has to do he will
take pride in doing it punctually and
well, and would be ashamed to be told
what he ought to do without telling.
The drawling boy loses in five minutes
the most important advice; the prompt,
wide awake boy never has to be taught
twice, but strains hard to make himself
up to the mark, as far as possible, out of
his Own energies. Third-retes boys are
always depending on those around them,
but first-rate boys depend solely upon
themselves, and after little teaching
just long enough to know what is to be
done, they ask no further favors of any
body. Beside, it is glorious thing for a
boy to get this noble way of selfreliance
activity and energy. Such one worth
a hundred of the poor dragging crea-
lures who can hardly wash their own
hands, without being told each time how
it is done. Give me the boy will do his
own work promptly and well without
asking, except once for all at the begin
ming, any questions. The boy who
has his wits about him is never behind
hand, and doesn't let any grass grow
under his heels.

Christianity and it Professors.

A Cotemporary says truly that alt is a
tribute to the excellence of the Christian
religion that more is demanded of the
professors of it than is required of others.
The high and pure nature of its doc
trines must necessarily make better those
who believe and practice them; there
fore, the character and life of those per-
sons who profess so to do are expected to
be exceptionally virtuous and benevolent.
The worlds people may be addicted to
vice, and nothing to their disparagement
is said about it; but let church men,
Der, and more especially minister of the
Gospel, go astray, and his offense is pub
icly noted and severely committed upon.
1t is because Mr.. Beecher is a minister,
and has stood so eminent, that now, be-
ing charged with heinous offense, he is
made the target for SO many arrows; and
it is tribute to the excellence of Chris
tianity, and the irreproachable character
of Christian ministers generally, that
such is the fact We find no fault with
the course taken-it should be SO; "by
their fruits shall ye know them" but
when it is affirmed that Christianity is en-
dangered by the delinquencies of pro-
fessed Christians, that when they STUN
BILE and fall the foundations of it are sap
ped, this we deny. Christ is not fallen,
nor the basis of his kingdom shaken"

From the Scientific Americana
The Capitalization of Matter.

To the Editor of the Scientific American:
A few modern scientists have recently
proclaimed the theory that the resist
ance of space to the planets, in their rev.
olutions around the sun, will ultimately
cause them to approach and to become
part of the SUM- Another writer says
that the centralization of matter is one
of the great laws of Nature,-whieh will
eventually produce the same result: that
each satellite, as it loses its internal
heat, will be absorbed by it's planet, and
the planets by the sun. l do not know
whether this is orthodox science, or
whether it is a NEW departure but if
this process of Nature is in existence, it
certainly has been going on for all time,
and our own planet should exhibit some
of the results or footprints of this great
law. Therefore ask; Has the earth,
since it has taken its place as a planet,
received any accession Of considerable
bodies of matter, going to make up the
great mass it now presents2 Most assur-
edly it has; several of the continents
still bear unmistakable evidence of being
a deposit of this character, having proba-
bly, been former satellites of the earth,
and to have been precipitated upon it
without great violence, but sufficient to
crumble and scatter their contents in the
direction of their motion. South America
bears the most striking illustration of
phenomenon of this character. When
the satellite had gradually wound its di-
minishing orbit. until it came within the
confines of the earth 3 atmosphere, by

Children and Dogs.


Dogs is healthy for. children" say the
old wives, and not without some founda-
ton in fact. The influence of these live
ly and affectionate playmates of child
hood is very happy so much SO that we
have sometimes though. that boy who
has never had pet dog has been cheated
out of half the enjoyment and no small
part of the moral culture of infancy. But
dogs have had tricks, and, unless prop
erly trained, are apt to be anything but
healthy for children. They express
their affection in a very bad way. We
know that it is common opinion that
there is something wonderfully whole
some about dogs tongue, and that his
natural habit of licking the objects of his
affection is rather to be encouraged than
repressed Nevertheless one of the first
requirements in dog for child's pet is
that he be trained to emulate prudent
humanity and restrain his tongue. 1t is
not "healthy, whatever the old wives
may say. This, setting aside the ques-
ton of rabbies altogether. A much more
common affection of dogs is tape worm,
| for whose development both men and
| dogs have to contribute. Its immature
or cysticercal stage is spent in the hu-
man body, often causing great mischief;
then it migrates to the dog. completes its
development, and makes provision for a
new crop to.rinfest humanity forming G
cysts or hollow tumors in various parts
of the body. The full grown worm is the
smallest tsenis known, only about of an
inch in length. The embryo is often as
1000 of an inch; yet, according to Cob
bold, death has been caused by single
individual lodged in the brain. AT late
meeting of the Australian Microscopial
Society, Mr. Sidney Gibbons exhibited
specimens recently taken from the hu-
man subject, and said there could be no
doubt that they were frequently inn
planted in children as consequence of
allowing:dogs to lick their hands and
faces 1t is nasty practice ATHEIST, and
4 pet dogs first lesson should be to keep
his tongue to himself.-Scientitfc American.

storm or cornnnotions below it is suddenly
enveloped in our heated atmosphere;
and loosing its hold upon the cold medi-
um of space, with plungeit is precipi-
tailed TO the earth. The first contact Is
at Cape Horn; then with the rolling set
tling, crumbling motion, it spreads out
nearly to its present limits, and. while yet
in motion, Commences the grandest fea-
tafe of all Before this great mass of
debris can acquire the motion of the earth
in rotation, the great waters and sedl-
ment of the Pacific are surged up to the
very clouds, rolling up the western bor-
der like SCROLL of which the Andes bear
witness. and of which your correspondent,
Professor 0rton, (page 40of your current
volume) says: Here the landscape was
purgatorial. presenting the confusion of
the grab box of a geologist."
The fact that guano is now admitted to
have been a sediment of the ocean, and
is found on the mount tain sides, as we'll
as on the islands, and thai the beds of
the ocean Especially the Atlantic) are
crushed down near the borders OF the
continents all tend to confirm this the
ory. The crowding up of the Andes
proves that the earth was rotating IN
about the same position as how, although
what is now Cape Horn may have been
near the equator before this occurrence.
As the surface of the satellite would be a
frozen mass, her glacial period would
soon have an end and the sudden acqui-
sition of so large body of matter on one
side OF the earth (within what is now the
southern hemisphere) would necessitate
the withdrawal of a large body of water
from the northern hemisphere to estab-
lishs an equilibrium, and complete the
spheriod. Hence the greater exposure
of land surface now in the northern
hemisphere. much of which is known tc
have been submerged.
Where then is the base line of geology
when we find that our igneous rocks were
produced in other worlds, before being
deposited with us? A. D.
