Was the Moon Always Dead

Now that astronomers have almost bysunan-
imOus consent accepted the doctrine of the de
velopmcnt of our system, which involves the
belief that the whole mass of each member of
the system was formerly gaseous with intensity
of heat, they can no longer doubt that the moon
once had seas and an atmosphere of COnsidera-
BILE density. The moon has, in fact, passed
through the same changes as our own earth
though not necessarily in the same exact way
She was once vigorous, as we'll as our earth,
though not at the same time nor for so long Il
time. She was once glowing with intensity of
heat though this stage also must have cOntin-
ued for a much shorter period than the CORES
ponding stage of our earth's history. Must we
not conclude that after passing through that
stage the moon was for a time "a habitable
world as our earth is now? The greatest mass
cS of vapOr anti of clouds which had girt our
moons whole globe, even as the youth of our
earth her seas enwrapped her in cloud form,
must at length have taken their place as seas
upon her surface The atmosphere which sup
ported those waters must at first have been
dense compared with the present lunar atmoS-
phere, perhaps, even by comparison with the
present atmosphere of our earth. The glow
ing surface of the moon gradually cooled, I'M
til at length the moon must have been a fit
abode for life But whether when thus
swept and garnshed into fitness for habita-
ton, the moon actually became an inhabited
world, is question which will be variously
answered according to our views respecting
the economy of nature in this respect. Those
who hold that nature makes nothing in vain,
will need only TO ask whether the support of
life is the one sole purpose which planet can
subserve; if that should appear probable, they
would at once decide that the moon must, dur
ing its habitable stage, have been inhabited.
Others who, looking around at the workings
OF nature as known to Us, perceive, or think
they perceive, that there is much which rescm-
bles waste in nature, will be less confident on
this point. They may reason that as Of many
seeds which fall upon the ground, scarce one
subserveS the one purpose for which seeds can
be supposed to have been primarily intended,
as many younglings Of animals perish untime-
", as even many races and types fail Of their
apparent primary purpose, so our moon, and
possibly many such worlds, may never came
TO subservc that one purpose for which the
orhs peopling space can be supposed to have
been formed, if purpose indeed reigns through
out the universe. -CpyuhW WdgdziHr

A Shopping Experiences in Constantinople.

On the very first occasion that we visited the
bazaars together, A. proposed we should con
ceal the fact that / could speak Turkish, and
engage the services of IL young Jew, who really
spoke English very well, and see how far he
would try to rob lis. This we did, and soon
settled ourselves down TO purchase from an old
Turk very curious and handsome old Eng
fish clock, by Il celebrated. maker who had
been dead some hundred years. The clock
would not go, but it was easy to see there was
not much the matter with it. Probably it had
been present from some Ambassador or rich
merchant to some PasEa, and after being
stopped and broken by the fingers of his in
quisitve wives, had, perhaps, been stolen du-
ring some fire, and kept for years until ii was
safe to expose ii for sale. A. now ADDRESSED
himself to the jew interpreter:
ASK the old fellow how much he Will take
for the clock"
Jew, in Turkish-lIow much:
Turk-Twelve pounds.
Jew to 4. Sixteen pounds, sarc,
Offer him two pounds
jew to Turk-The Englishman offers one
pound; says it is all smashed up, and only
wants it for the glass and hands-the former
for an eye-glass, the latter for tooth-picks.
Turk with dignity)-Iou lying beast May
your vile tongue blister your polluted mouth,
and destroy YOU by slow starvation
jew to Ale say, sare, COS he love me all
same as him son, he let English Lord have
clock for fourteen pounds.
This was little staggering for me, and my
face must have betrayed me to the lynNcyed
Israelite if had not taken the opportunity and
hunted a flea all round the inside Of my sock.
This kind of, bargaining went on for an hour,
A. being made aware of the state Of affairs by
me, while the jew had gone TO fetch us some
coffee At last the Turk was beaten down till
he asked two pounds, and the jew said four
pounds; and then the villains look of out.
ragged innocence was worth anything, when
quietly said to the Turk in Turkish:
I'VE will give you the two pounds, and
hope to have Il deal with you again another
day, when we will not bring our friend here

During this dry season, when the pastures
cracklc under the feet, is the time when the
sowcd corn can be made available as fodder
for COWS. 1t is folly to expect a full flow OF
milk to be maintained, by the best breed that
was ever created, when the pastures are scrc,
and no addition is made to the feed that the
COWS can get from them. The amount of milk
from any COW must bear some proportion to the
feed that She digeSts, and if there is a lack Of
fodder the flow Of milk decreases. 1t pays to
have near the barn good strong growth OF
some kind of green fodder, and corn is easily
raised, of rank growth, and cattle eat it with
avidity. Beyond this, there is milk in it, and
all that IS required i, the medium of cow for
its ready cOnvcrsion.-DctroH Free Press.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Dentistry on Horses.

1t is generally believed, even among the hes,
hOrseman in the country, that CHAMBERS Is qulte
prevalent among horses. Many valuable an
| imal has been killed by direction Of his owner
because of an offensive discharge from his nos
trils, which has been considered AS sure lndi
cation that the horse is affected with thai
dreaded disease, CHAMBERS. The fact Is, cases
of CHAMBERS are few and far between. {. ID
House, the veterinary dentist, says that in all
his experience he has never known of but tive
cases, although he has known of hundreds OF
instances when horses have been killed be
cause they were supposed to be affected with
the disease The whole trouble arises from
neglect of the teeth.
Yesterday Nh. House operated upon the
horses of the iambleonian Breeding Stud
DR.. Flagg, c. NJ. Dyer, Washbum Il Waugh
and W. g. Strong pulling or cutting, or filing
the teeth OF nearly every animal he examined
In one of the horses mouth the wOlfteeth were
found to be entirely covered by the gum, and
detached from the jaw, so that every time the
bit was moved in the horses mouth these
teeth were turned, crowded. and jammed in
the gum, Of course causing the horse to jump
and run. Another case was found where the
grinders had been worn rough and uneven,
and were slightly displaced, so that the horse
in eating was continually grinding away upon
tne inner lining OF the NOUN, keeping IL con
stantly raw and painful, and of course making
the beast cross and irritable. Still another
case was where Il colts temporary teeth, after
being partially forced from this place by the
second teeth, had remained fastened by one
fang, and in such position as to grind contin-
ually upon the gum while the animal was feed
ing, and yet so nicely had the decaying tooth
been lodged that its presence was only detected
by the offensive Odor arising thcretrom. Scv
eral cases of inflammation Of the gums were
found which were accounted for by the pres
ence Of tartar on the front teeth which was
readily removed. Mr.. Houses operations yes
terday were closely watched by large number
Of horsemen, and many who were unable to &C
count for sensitive mouths in their own horses
became satisfied that the trouble was with THEN
teeth
The animals rather appear to like having
their mouths worked upon, and Mr.. House
says he never had one attempt bite him. He
runs his hands and arms into their mouths
freely, and works away upon the sensitive parts
without causing the horse to exhibit signs OF
pain or uneasincss.-IVOrceste (NdSs.,) Spy.
