"HEAR! r'-This phrase was
originally "Hear him." and was used
TO remind listeners of the duty of pay
ing attention to the speaker, but it has
gradually become a cry expressive of
approval, or, when used ironically, of
the reverse. Sheridan, the famous wit,
orator and dramatist, was a member of
the House of Commons. Once, when
making speech there, he was annoyed
by a member behind him frequently
calling out "Hear, hear" without any
regard TO the propriety of the occasion.
Sheridan laid IA trap for him, and began
to describe political opponent in very
uncomplimentary language, ending his
vituperation with the question:
"Where shall we find a more knavish
fool or more foolish knave than this?"
At which the interrupter called out
Justify, "Hear. heart" Sheridan turned
round and thanked him for the infor-
nation, sitting down amid the laughter
of the house.

Why Tides Occur Later Each Day.
As the moon revolves around the
earth from west to east, she advances
eastwardly in her orbit about thirteen
degrees every twenty-fonr hours.
| Hence, when any part of the earth, In
its revolution, comes under part OF
the heavens where the moon was the
evening before, the moon is not there,
but has gone eastward thirteen degrees,
and therefore the earth must turn on
its axis as much longer as is necessary
to bring that part again under the
moon, which requires generaily-not
always-abOut fifty minutes. The
same thing occurs the next evening.
and the evening after, and thus the
moon rises most of the year about fifty
minutes later each day. Now, as the
tides are produced mainly by the moon
it will at once be seen from this east
ward movement, and this later rising
each day, why they must occur about
fifty minutes later each succeeding day.
While the lunar tide is thus daily lagg-
ing, the solar tide occurs at the same
time. Hence those two tides always
begin to separate after new moon, being
further apart each day, until they again
coincide at full moon, when there is, as
already stated, a higher tide than usual
called the spring tide. Then again they
separate, until new moon occurs, when
they once more unite, producing an
other spring tide
1t must not be supposed that the
whole body of the ocean. to its pro-
fOundest depths, is equally moved by
the tides. The tides are mainly super
fetal, and, except where the water is
of moderate depth. the lowest parts
are only slightly disturbed; but to what
depth the tidal current extends can
never perhaps be satisfactorily deter
mined. The Gulf Stream is about
three thousand feet deep, having for
its bottom bed of colder water of va
rious depths; but as the stream is the
result of other causes than those that
produce the tides, it is not safe to esti-
mate the depth of the tidal currents by
its own.

HUMOROUS.

A QUICK and ready wit is an almost
indispensable endowment in a good

self to be pretty good judge of peo-
ple's ages, eh? Well, now, how old
should you take me to be?" Judging

sixty. By your questions, L should sup
pose you were about SIXTEEN" Whether
counsel had any more questions for this
lady is not recorded. '.Now," began

the stableman in the box, ''yes, Pll

what authority are you prepared TO

the witness. "Yes, sir, upon what
authority" son very good authority"
''Then why this evasion? Why not
state it at once?'' "Well, if you must
have it" "Must have it!' interrupted
the man of law, IL will have it,"
''Well, then, if you u.ust and will have

gravity, 81 had it from the mares own

Evolution and the Vegetable Kingdom.
The whole evidence supplied by fos-
sill plants is opposed to the hypothesis of
genetic evolution, and especially the
sudden and simultaneous appearance
of the most highly organized plants at
particular stages in the past history of
the globe, and the entire absence
among fossil plants of any forms inter-
mediate between existing classes or
families. The facts of pal3OntOlogi-
cal botany are opposed to evolution,
but they testify to development = TO
progression from lower TO higher types.
The Cellular Alga preceded the Vascu-
lar CryptOgams and the GymnOsperms
of the newer PalaOzoic rocks. and these
were speedily followed by MOnocOtyle-
dOns, and at a much later period by
DicotyledOns. But the earliest repres-
entatives of these various sections of
the vegetable kingdom were not gen.
eralized forms, but as highly or more
highly organized than recent forms;
and the divisions were, when We be-
came first acquainted with them, as
clearly bounded in their essential char
acters and as decidedly separated from
each other, as they are at the present
day. Development is not the property

its preparation for life; and ON through

real question is, does science give us
any light as to hO,c this development
was accomplished? Is it possible, from
the record of organic life preserved in

ROTATION OF CROPs.-Plants, like
animals, differ much in their habits,
and the different sorts of food on which
they subsist, The broad-leaved clovers,
turnips, and mangolds abstract from
the air a large portion of their growth,
while the narrow-leaved grains and
grasses partake more largely Of mineral
food, which they draw from the soil.
This fact will explain the great advan-
tage OF rotation in crops.

he noticed grave looking person
standing near the door, with specta-

SO long did he gaze that finally the
tanner stepped out and addressed the
individuals:

A MILK CAN SETS A House AFIRE.
j. II. Brownell writes to the Aurora
(IU.) Beacon a curious circumstance
which occurred few days ago at North
Aurora:
David Long, who carries milk to the
cheese factory, had his milk-can turned
bottom up GU a table near the kitchen
door, to be purified by the sun. This
was the usual place of summing the
milk can. One day, about noon, Mrs.
Long diseo, cred the smell of burning
wood, and called the attention of Mr.
Long to it. After some search he
found the window blind above The can
on fire. \ hole had been burned
through, and as the blind was open,
the fire was abeut to burn into the
weather boards Of the house. Had the
family been from home, no doubt the
house would have been burned. The fire
was caused by the hollow bright bottom
Of the milk can, forming a concave re-
Hector which gathered the parallel rays
It the sun into focus with sufficient
power to set fire to wood.
