YOUNG MEN.

Invite the young men into your
counsels. The country has more TO
expect from its youth just entering
upon the stage of action than from
its gray heads, that, however full Of
wisdom and experience, are soon to
pass away from earth.
The art of agriculture is in a trans
ition state; lis patrons are waking
up to a sense OF its possibilities, and
to the necessity of availing them
selves Of the discoveries Of science
and patent investigations.
Young men are more progressive
than older ones, they have less Of
prejudice and tradition to contend
with, and are more ready to accept ad-
vanced thought and experiment, inn
proved methods of cullure, tools and
implements. They are more hopeful
aud energetic. The sorrows and dis
appointments of life have not settled
as a black cloud over their bright and
sunny vision. They make the best
WOTkluS iuiNS ~ 1hy NohhpNbn.
Commence with the boys; educate
them to think, listen and reason
encourage them to attend yotsT-sneet-
ings and avoid the snares Of idle
companionship and aimless leisure.
How beautiful and how appropriate
that youth should commingle with
old age in the all.important work Of
mutual Improvement that the warn
ings and experiences Of a lifetime
should moderate and govern the fire
Of youthful zeal and retklessness !
that thought and action, wisdom and
energy, caution and hope, repose and
labor should go hand in hand solving
the great problem of human happi-
ness and prosperity.

a SOoIOLOGlCAL PROBLEM

A correspondent writes to us thus
A recent number Of u scientific jour
NIL, speaking of the relative proper
tlon Of the sexes In the human race,
declares that for every 100 men that
come into the world 100 72-10O wo-
men are born. l do not dispute these
figures, ] only ask for light. 1t ap.
pears according TO this that there are
some women who are only 72-1O0 OF
woman. What the remaining 2S-
100 are cannot imagine. Now,
what ] want to know is this: If II
woman Of this kind marrles 100
man and has n daughter, will the
daughter be an S4-100 woman or u
S6-l0O woman? And what will be
the exact relationship between such u
daughter and 76-100 aunt and her
S7.l0O daughters, especially If the
$1,000 girls marry the brothers OF the
0G-l00 girl, and SO become not only

TO get at II will be to do the sum in
algebra somehow, making the daugh-
ter q, the aunt y, the FIRST cousin a,
and the mother-in-law b. Then, II
seems 10 me, II you multiply the aunt
by the daughter, and divide the first
cousin by the motherin-law, in some
way, or extract the square root Of the
cousins and subtract the result from
the aunt, keepiSg the daughter as q

suit might be satisfactory. But j am

AN effort is being made to estab.
lish in San Francisco the business Of
preparing the skins of the fur seal for
market. There is an annual passage
through thA city Of 100000 Of these
skins, which are sent 10 London for
preparation, and after nearly 4 year
many are brought back. The aver
age extra expense of having the work
done in London is estimated to be
fifty per cent. English purchasers
pay $40 each for the raw skins, and
charge $40 for the prepared ones. II
is said by those familiar with the
business, that the work can be skill
fully and profitably carried on In this
country.
