"KNoWLEDGE IS POWER"

Every year an Grafton is delivered before
the Hunterian Society of London, in
eulogy of John Hunter, the celebrated
physician, from whom the society takes its
name. The address of DR.. w. Moxon for
the present year is remarkably vigorous.
The following is an extract:
THE great faliacy of the age is the vul-
gar fallacy that knowledge is power. But
not all knowledge il power. OuIy the
knowledge YOU have faith and aim to use
ia power; and tue instinct of each mind is,
| believe, n far better judge of bow mpch
knowledge it has faith and aim to use than
We commonly suppose. knowledge is not
power. Any fourth years student knows
much that Hunter aid not, and could
not know. But where IS the power of
Hunter7 Power arises by training in the
use of knowledge. Consider tho difference
between training and teaching. The
teacher carries over the things he knows,
and fixes them in the learners memory
the trainer takes what ia in the memory,
and converts it into an organ for the pupil's
own use. The store of memory of things
taught is totally distinct and separate from
the trained mechanism for use of knowl-
edge. And these two different things-the
store and the mechanism-are in separate
places in the brain. 1t is only of late
proved obviously in the case of language
In what is called aphasia. In aphasia, a
person paralyzed on the right side of his
body haS lost the power of using language;
and yet understands all you say. Obvi-
ously, then, the understanding of speech is
in one place, and the power of framing
language lie in another place, in the brain.
The same is true throughout all human &C.
uuirements. The power of knowing is the
fruit of knowing, and the power of acting
is the fruit of acting. There 10 knowledge
stored in one place, and the power of using
it stored in another place. Teaching is the
storing of knowledge it may be done
quickly. Training is the creation of an
organ for use of knowledge ; it needs much
time; it is q slow process. The trainer
has to con vert the pupils knowledge into
motive, his desire into patience, his will
into skill. Every good trainer aims to
raise mp in the pupils mind q self training
feculty, which ehall itself continue to train
more and more knowledge into motive.
By such training knowledge becomes pow
or. But knowledge, as given by the mere
teacher into the memory, is not power ii
is so much weight, which by training may
become the instrument of power. Now,
the self training spirit is natural to some
men-to all great men. On the other
hand, the self training spirit is almost
absent in some men. These are the fools,
and they trouble every one as to what is to
be done with them. But the vast majority
of men have some self-trainiDg faculty
and the proper aim of education is to sup
port this, which may call the vital spark
of character, by help from the training fac
ulties Of Others"

UNRESTRICTED OCCUPATIONS.

Under this heading the Massacbusett
PiouJhmGn has the following which we
CO mmend 70 the Sons of farmers:
"A New York law school has just sent
forth a batch of nearly three hundred
young graduates to get their living by
litigation. How they are going to begin to
do it in these times it is not easy to see.
There is but one vocation now that is not
crowded, and that is farming. The West
and Southw west offer almost limitless or
portnnities for young men of energy aud
resolution, who n few years hence would
have every reason to bless the choice to
which they committed themselves. The
trouble in this country is not SD much in
getting living as in getting it in none but
certain way. Oar farmers and mechanics
make up by far the largest part of our male
population. They are the only real pro-
ducers, the rest being only distributors,
go betweens, agents, and errand runners
And it so happens that these two avoca
tons are not at all crowded at the present
time. Ii Independence is all that is sought,
it is as good as assured to every one with
industry. Wealth will accumulate fast
enough where all are engaged in prUduc-
ton"
This ia full of point and pith, and it ought
to be needed by the SONS of farmers. as we'll
as by the farmers themselves. One of the
leading daily papers of New York City
sends out the following, which is brimfu
OF common sense, ana deserves Co De COM
mitted to memory by every young man in
the country.
"If young man succeeds at the bar in
q high sense, it will DO only after years of
unceasing toll and drudgery, even if he
possesses first class talents; and if he has
no more than ordinary ability, he never
can attain the first order of success. The
same is true of the medical profession. But
farming pays from the beginning, and it
always will continae to be profitable from
it's very character.
CATER all. the only source of wealth and
prosperity in the soil. Through it alone is
wealth created. In it we place one grain
and take out hundred. 1t is the bank
which pays an unfalling interest. All other
profitable pursuits are based directly or in
directly upon the utilization or handling of
the wealth thus created; and if this basis
is destroyed, the whole commercial fabric
falls to the ground, for the simple reason
that there Is nothing left to utilize or to
handle. The machine stops an en-
CINE does when the steam is shut of,
and all business becomes mere swap
ping of jack knives and keeping of faro
banks.
sit is as true "a gospel. If the farmers
will but heed o fact mat is the plain
of all in our social and commercial sys-
tenn, they will show the sagacity which Is
essential to success in any calling what
ever. Agriculture never was so univer-
sally recognized as the big wheel as it is
now"

sufficient for several months support OF the
inhabitants, besides affordiug surplus Tor
shipment, either fresh or salted. a seem ,
ingly incredible fact il well established
that in 1884 $50 ,OOO, 600 pounds weight OF
shad aud herring were taken from the 70
tomac in the brief space OF ak wee KS.
Analogous facts are reported regarding the
salmon, which was once 30 exuoerant ID
Lake ChampIain and it's tributaries, that
at one point not less than 500 were caught
in q single afternoon, early in the century.
At present, however, such conditions have
become, for the most part matters OF tradi
ton, and nothing but artificial propagatoh
will replace tho stock. When, however
we bear in mind that the eggs of q single
pair of shad, arti6cially treated, can be
made to produce more young heh than
those of 200 pair of natural spawners, the
efficiency of the measures now adopted
and the substantial results that may be
expected from them, will be readily appre-
ciated.

WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE List
MANI

Various theories that have been seriously
maintained by scientific men are described
in the Scientific american, and we summar
ize them:
/. The surface of the earth is steadily
diminishing, elevated regions are being
lowered, and the seas are filling up. The
land will at last be all gu Emerged, an d the
last man will be starved or drowned.
2. The ice is gradually accommodating at
the North Pole, and melting away at the
South Pole, the consequence of which viii
be an awful catastrophe when the earth's
center of gravity suddenly changes. The
last man will then be drowned by the rush
of waters.
3 The earth cannot always escape q col
lis,on with a comet, and when the disaster
comes there will be q miDgliDg of air and
cemetery gas, causing an eIplosios. If
the last man lie not suffocated he will be
blown up.
4. There is q retarding medium in space,
Causing o gradual loss OF velocity in the
planets, and the earth, cbeying the law of
gravitation, will get closer and closer to
the sun. 7 he last man will be sunstruek.
5. The amount of water ON the earth is
slowly diminishing, and simultaneously
the air is losing in quantity and quality.
Finally the earth will be an arid waste,
like tho moon. TIE last man will be suffp
Gated.
Other sumo have disappeared, and ours
must, sooner or later, blazo up ard then
disappear. The intense heat "t the conf b
grafton will kill every living thing on
earth. The last man will be burnt up.
Z. The suns fire will gradually burn out,
and the temperature will cool. The earth's
glacial zones will enlarge, driving our racs
towards the equator, until the habitable
space will lessen to nothing. The last man
will be frozen to death.
8. A gradual cooling of the air will pro.
duce enormous assures, like those seen in
the moon. The surface will become ex-
tremely unstable, until the remnant of hu-
mainly will take refuge in caves. The last
man will be crushed in his subterranean
| retreat.
9. The earth will at last separate into
small fragments, leaving the people with
out any focthold. The last man will have
dreadful fall through space.
10. The tenth theory, proving that there
will be no last. man at all, is thus ex
pressed Evolution does not necessarily
imply progress, and possibly the race may
have refrigerated until the human being
| possesses the nature of the plant louse ;
such being the case, this single inhabitsnt
will spontaneously produce pOsterity of
both sexes"

We Love Babies.

We love babies and also anybody
else who loves babies. No man has
music in his soul who doesn't love
babies. Babies were made to be
loved, particularly girl babies-when
they grow up. A man isn't worth a
cent who doesn't love baby, and the
same rule applies to woman. A baby
is spring day in winter, shady ar
Dor in summer, a ray of sunshine
through the clouds If life; and, if
it's healthy, good-natured baby,
and if you are sure it's yours, it's a
bushel of sunshine, no matter how
cold the weather. A man cannot be
hopeless case so long as he loves
babies-one at time. We love ba-
bies all over, and our love is only
bounded by the number of babies in
the world. We also have sorrowful
feelings for mothers who have no ba-
bies. Women always look down.
hearted who have no babies; and
men who have none grumble and
drink and stay out nights trying to
get music in their souls, but they
can't come it. Babies are babies, and
nothing can take their place. In
this connection we desire the public
t. understand that these remarks are
not intended to reflect upon anyone
attached to this paper.

SCORE ONE AGAINST BLUE GLASS.
Last year Mr.. B. II. Miller, book
keeper at Frank Sperling's, sent
home horned toad, aud the poor
little fellow has fallen victim 10
the blue Il lass cure. The following
from the Newport (Pa.) Ledger gives
the last chapter in his biography :
"Last fall We made mention in the
Ledger of horned toad, sent by b.
H. Miller, from Nevada, to J. b.
Hartzell, which Beck has kept in his
cigar case ever since, alive, and ap-
parently well, until last Saturday.
Col. Hartzell, desiring to know the
elect "blue glass" would have on
the toad, placed him where the rays
of the sun would shine through a
blue glass lamp globe upon him.
Presently he opened his eyes and
mouth, puffed himse,fup, and seemed
to enjoy the bath" 1t was too
much for him, for, when replaced in
the case, he died. Beck has him
preserved in alcohol and appropri-
ately Tabled. The toad was received
last September and died last Satur-
day, March g."

purpose Of reducing them, in order
to conform to the fashionable stand

up to this time she has suffered great
annoyance from the fact that her ears
are not of the "regulation pattern"
No art of the ha,r-dresser or milllner
could be employed successfully in
