L. Lake Superior lies In synclinal
trough, and its mode of formation, there
fore, hardly admits Of questions, though
It's sldes are deeply scored with ice-marks,
ana Its form and area may have been
somewhat modified by this agent.
:. Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, Lake
Erie and Lake Ontario are excavated ba-
SINS, wrought out of once continuous
sheets of sedimentary strata by mechan.
lcal agent, and that ice or water. or both

That this ice formed great moving glaciers,

OF Lake Erie may be said to be carved out
OF the coniterous lines stone by ice action.
as Its bottom, and sides, and islands
horizontal, vertical and even overhanging
surtaces-are all furrowed by glacial
grooves, which are parallel with the ma
jor axis of the lake.
All our great lakes are probably very
ancient, as, since the close of the Devoni
an period, the area they occupy has never
been submerged beneath the ocean, and
their formation may have begun during
the coal epoch.
This, at least, may be positively assert
ed in regard to the agency of ice in the
excavation of the lake basins, that their
bottoms and sides, wherever exposed to
observation, if composed of resistant ma
terials, bear indisputable evidence of ice
action; proving that these basins were
filled with moving glaciers in the last ice
period, if never before, and that part, at
least of the erosion by which they were
formed is due to these glaciers.

GI0Ve-Making in France.

FRANCE makes the finest gloves in the
world, and they bring high prices in
American markets. But the makers Of
the gloves have hard life, and receive
only meager wages.
There are three departments in glove
making in France-cutting out, sewing
and finishing, that is to say, embroidering
the back, making the buttOn-hole and set
ting on the button. 1t is the work of men
to cut out the glove; but women place it
on the iron hand which forms the meas
ure, strike it with stamp and prepare it
for the cutter.
This is not difficult work, it is done by
the piece, and they receive tenpence for
five dozen. The sewers are less favored.
The price paid for a dozen pairs of ladies'
gloves with one button is IS. 3D.; out of
this they had to pay fifty per cent, to their
employer, and forty per cent. goes in silk,
which they find; so that it only leaves
about threepence halfpenny a pair.
If it be asked how many pairs a good
workWoman can complete in one day, the
answer will be that, working twelve hours
without interruption, she may manage to
get through four pairs; but most of the
hands only do two pairs and a half This
arises from the attention they must pay to
household work.
Glove making requires the most perfect
cleanliness. Not only are soiled gloves
returned to the sewer, but she is obliged
to pay for the leather. -Four pairs will be
thus paid at the rate of elevenpence, from
which deduction must be made for
lights OF two and half, leaving eight
pence-half-penny.
These wages are still lower in Aveyron
and Haute- Marine; but in the department
of Isere, this occupies no less than IL 900
women, representing value of 10000, 900
francs. The mandatory at Grenoble
employs 1900 cutters-out, making $40, 900
dozen.
Those who work the back of the glove
and finish it off are better paid seven
and sixpence is given for a dozen, but then
the silk is not found. It requires six or
seven hours to make a pair of embroid-
cred gloves; supposing she does pair
and half day, she will not earn that
sum in a week
At this work a woman must sew regu-
larly, and have neither children nor many
household matters to distract her attention,
as it requires great nicely and skill. In
Paris the work is done at the workshop of
the maker, where it can be better per-
formed, and the highest class of embroid-
erers obtain there about twelve shillings
dozen.

Curious Mishap of a Seal.

Mr.. A. N. HoxIE, Of FOXborOUgh,
Mass, recently shot a seal on the rocks Of
Hope Island down the bay, where he is
now living, which measured four feet
nine and one-half inches in length. He
ought to have been a gOOd-sized seal,
judging by his length, but he wasn't,
which is not to be wondered at under the
circumstances. Upon examination it was
discovered that he "wore collar around
his neck'' in the shape of hoop, about
six inches in diameter, evidently from
lobster pot, with a part of the netting
hanging to it, That he had worn it for
some time was also evident from the fact
that it had worn its way into the flesh to
the depth Of half an inch all round the
neck as the seal increased in size. The
flesh was raw, and the poor creature had,
without doubt, suffered intensely, and
would have thanked Mr.. HOxie had he
killed him some time ago. 1t is supp osed
he ran into the hoop some months ago,
when he was smaller, perhaps while.
chasing fish or in some spOrtive mo-
ment, striking it with force enough to
carry it over his head, and was unable to
get it back, and has since then carried it

Game-Smuggling-A Sharp French
man Caught.

THE g0atrnaets of Paris are not restrained
by any sentiments of humanity or pru-
dence from devouring all game which
they lay their hands upon out of the sea-
son. There is indignation occasionally
at their hospitable board when the
wretched victims of this unreasonable
appetite appear, and few of the less
gluttonous guests venture to express COM
miseration for the Inflated bird or beast
which has been unseas onably snatched
away 10 figure before the kitchen fire.
But, as rule, the morbid appetite of the
boaa-05on1at, supplemented by roguish
taste for dainties surreptitiously procured,
makes the forbidden dish grand success,
and insures solid profits to the poachers
and dealers who purvey the delicacy.
The agents Of the police have just lain
rude hands upon one of the worthless en-
gagged in conducting this illicit traffic il
game. The criminal was caught at one
of the gates of Paris with cart contain
ing a good supply Of different sorts of
game. He had been engaged, apparently
with much success, for considerable
time past in this species Of smuggling.
The method was to inclose the slaughtered
spoil in the skins of more innocent birds.
A partridge might be conveniently hid
den within the feathers of chicken. a
portly gray capon's plumage might effec-
tually conceal the tailless body of
pheasant and the corpses Of woodcocks,
snipes and quails might be cunningly
yelled under the unsupported covering of
some sort of pigeon. The smuggler, who
had grown careless by prolonged i'm
munity, had on the occasion in question
wrapped up fine woodcock in the skin
of bluerock. The disguise was as good
as usual, except in one small particular.
He had forgotten to cut off the long bill
Of his victim, which was seen proruding
in most inexplicable manner from the
mouth of the pigeon. The police agent,
refusing to credit nature with the freakish
trick Of thus arming the emblem Of inno-
cence, instituted an inquiry, which re-
suited in the unwilling of several other
protean birds. 1t was found that even
ground game had been constantly brought
through the gates of Paris in the woolly
disguise of lambkins. London Globe.

Too Much Noise for the Size.

AFTER a most ridiculous and extrava-
giant plea by young lawyer in trivial
case, an older lawyer, who had way of
saying quaint things, remarked, il open
ing the opposing side of the case, that
this young friends elaborate plea remind
ed him Of the experience of a neighbor
of his who was once engaged in breaking
a colt, and the story he told of it was in
substance like this:
The colt breaker made his young son
hide IN the bush, while he himself was to
mount the animal and put him at his top
speed to the hiding place, and then the
boy was to rush suddenly out and shout
Boop'-the idea being to prove how well
the colt would stand the scare.
Everything was done according to pro-
gramme, but the result was altogether too
much of scare for the colt, who kicked
up bis heels and put down his head and
the old man was thrown over 1t far into
the road on his head.
Clearing the dust from his loosened
teeth he made for the boy with the switch
he had cut to drive the colt, and with rage
began to dress the astonished young man
down, shouting, " What did you do that
for? What did you do that for?"
"But, father" said the crying boy,
"you told me to b )ller boot"
" Yes" said the old man, " but, dang
it, it was altogether to big boo for so
small colt"

Origin of the Great Lakes.

THE question of the origin of the great
lakes is one that requires more Observa-
ton and study than have yet been given
to it, says ]. S. Newberry in the Michigan
Geological Survey, before we can be said
to have solved all the problems it in
wolves. There are, however, certain facts
connected with the structure of the lake
basins, and some deductions from these
facts, which may be regarded as steps al
ready taken toward the full understanding
OF the subject. These facts and 6educ-
tons are, briefly, as follows:

TWRED's CAPTURE CONFIRMED is
found. There is no doubt of that. Our
special cable dispatches from Vigo conclu-
sively prove that he is the man who was
seized by the Spanish authorities at Vigo.
The story is direct and clear, consistent
with itself and is confirmed by the attend.
ant facts. 1t was known in July that
Tweed was in Santiago de Cuba, having
arrived there from Havana. The Ameri.
can Consul applied TO General Jovellar for
his arrest and Joyellar was willing to seize
him, hut Tweed, warned of his danger,
sailed in the bark Carmen, according to the
cable dispatches, on July 81. General
Cushing then notified the Spanish govern
ment of the fact and strict orders were
issued from Madrid TO the local authori.
ties of all Spanish ports TO arrest Tweed at
once. On September the Carmen arrived
at Vigo and the Governor boarded her, re.
cognized Tweed by his photograph and
placed him and his companion, William
Hunt, in prison. They are to be sent to
Havana in the Spanish mail steamer which
sails on the 2lst inst. and surrendered tc
the American Conshl. The only discre
pancy in the whole account is this, thal
while the dispatches say that the Carme,
left Santiago de Cuba On July 27, and wal
forty-ohe days on her voyage, which agrees
exactly with the date of her arrival, Sep
tember 6, the Havana Weekly Report o
August says in its marine news that tn,

slight contradiction the statement is a

THE nomination of Hon. Daniel NJ.
Henry, Of Cambridge, for Congressman for
the Eastern Shore, by the Democrats, last
Thursday, was an unlooked-for event. 1t
was generally supposed that the present
incumbent, Hon. Philip Francis Thomas,
Of Easton, would be complimented with a
re-nominatiOn, but when thevote was called
only four counties sustained him-Kcnt,
Queen Annes, Talbot and Worcester. The
other four counties-Coroline, Dorcester,
Wicomico and Somerset-went for Mr..
Henry, giving him IA votes to y for Mr..
Thomas. Dan'l Fields, Of Caroline, Presi-
dent of the State Senate, was also a candi-
date, but when he saw that he would carry
only his own county, he withdrew and tried
to hand his delegation over to Mr.. Thomas,
but he couldn't deliver them They went
for Mr. Henry. The friends of Mr.. Thomas
had no idea he would be thrown overheard,
as there was 10 strongly developed opposi-
ton to him before the convention met.
The Baltimore Amer;cga says that the
inwardness of the result is that Mr..
Thomas was in the way of clecting Mr..
Hynson, OF Kent, L. 5. Senator, in place of
Nr. Dennis.
some of the Democratic papers are very
sore over the result. The Easton STR init
mates that it will not endorse the nomina-
ton and the Centreville Ob2crrcr says Mr..
