THE FUTURE OF ENGLAND.

The London Spectator, in remarka-
bic article showing that England is on
the road to decay, looks forward to the
time when her factories will close one by
one, coal mines Will be shut up like the
tin mines of Cornwall, fires in the FORCES
will be blown out, the ships will be laid
to rot, and so forth. The only suggested
remedy is the discovery of some new in
dustry to replace those already waning.
The writer, certified as one of the
shrewdest and ablest men in England,
specializing upon the social and political
future, says: Taxation will be light.
for the debt will be gone, as too expens-
i've and useless, and the country, organ
lied like Switzerland, will be thinly peo-
pied by race with the hereditary habit
of education, but few desires Or oppor-
tr1nities of excitement. The inherent
conservatism of the people will have its
fullest scope, the ambitious and ener-
getic will go elsewhere, for there Will be
nothing to do here"

IS THE COZ OUEENe

Cotton has not the name of king on
account of the magnitude of its value to
the country, the crop being worth more
than that of any other of our agricultural
productions, but our dairy interest now RI
walls if it does not surpass in money value
the time-honored monarch of the South.
Mr.. Sherman Tracy, in an address to the
Western Reserve Dairyman's Associa-
ton, at Garrettsvile, o., sad that in
1875 there were in this country about
10000, 900 mich COWS, which, at S45 per
head, represented a capital of $3.50, OOO,-
600. In the same year there were man
ufactured 203, 669. 3S4 pounds of cheese,
625, 191, 219 pounds of butter, and 1885,
500, 500 gallons of milk were sold. Be
sides this, an enormous quantity of milk
was consumed In families, of which no
account can be taken, but evidently four
times the quantity noted as sold, which
would make the total quantity consumed
and sold 1902, 0O2, 500 gallons. This
would make the probable yearly yield of
the COW in butter, cheese, ETC., as fol-
lows: Cheese, 203, 669. 3e4 pounds ct

1875 was scarcely more than $500, 000,-

AMERICAN YOUNG MEN.

American history presents many re
markable instances of young men taking
prominent and commanding stations at
an age which would be thought very
young in other countries. We subjoin a
few striking examples, from the list of
those who have passed off the stage of
human action
At the age of %, Mr.. Jefferson was an
influential member of the Legislature of
Virginia. At 80 he was member of
the Virginia Convention at 80 a mem
Der of the Continental Congress, and at
SO he wrote the Declaration of indie
pendence.
Alexander Hamilton was only 90 years
of age when he was appointed Lieuten-
ant Colonel in the army of the Revolu-
tion and Abide Camp to Washington.
At 25 he was q member of the Cont
mental Congress at 80 he was one of the
ablest members of the convention which
framed the constitution CT the United
States at 80 he was Secretary of the
Treasury, and organized that branch of
the Government upon SO complete and
comprehensive a plan that no great
change or improvement has since been
made upon it.
John Jay, at 20 years old, was a mem
Der Of the Continental Congress-, and
wrote an address to the people of Great
Britain, which was justly regarded as
one of the most eloquent productions OF
the times. At 80 he prepared the con-
stitution of the State of New York, and
in the same year was appointed Chief
Justice of the State.
Washington was 81 years of age when
he covered the retreat of the British
troops at Braddock's defeat, and the
same year was honored by an appoint
ment as COMMANDMENT Chief of the Viz.
ginia forces.
Joseph Warren was % years of age
dress ON the 9Th of March which
aroused the spirit of patriotism and lib
erty in that section of the country, anc
at 81 he gloriously fell in the cause o.
freedom on Bunker hill.
Fisher Ames, at the age of 81, had ex
cited public attention by the ability he
displayed in the discussion of questions
of public interest. At the age of 80 his
mastery speeches in defense of the con
stitution of the United States had ex
erted great influence, so that the youth
full orator of 81 was elected to Congress
from the Suffolk district over the Revo
lutionary hero, Samuel Adams.
Joseph Story entered public life at the
age of 26; he was elected to Congress
from the Essex district when he was 20
was Speaker of the Massachusetts, House
of Representatives at 80, and the same
year was appointed by President Madi
son Judge of the Supreme Court O.
the United States.
De Witt Clinton entered public life al
%; Henry Clay at 26; the most youthful
signer of the Declaration of lndepend
ence was William Hooper, of North Car
DINA, whose age vas "a. OF the Other
signers of the Declaration, Thomas Hay
wood, of South Carolina, was 80; Ell
bridge Gerry, Benjamin Rush, James
Wilson, and Matthew Thornton were 81
Arthur Middleton and Thomas Stone
were 33.

ON TILE CaRE OE TILE EYES

There are, says the Rural NeaU
Yorker, perhaps more individuals who
ascribe their weakness of sight to use
of their eyes under an insufficient artifi-
cial illumina ion than to any other one
cause. In a great many instances this
may not be strictly true, but there can
be no doubt that faulty artificial light is
one of the most productive causes of
certain class of injuries to which the
eye can be exposed. The two sources of
trouble with the ordinary artificial
lights are: 1. That they are not pure
white. 2. That they are unsteady. The
first defect is found in all artificial
lights, except the lime, electric, and
magnesium lights; the latter especially
in candles and gas. The yellowness is,
in measure, counteracted by using, in
the case of lamps and gas, chimneys of
a violet or blue tint, and the Pickering
of the gas may be obviated largely by
employing an Argand burner. All
things considered, a German student
lamp furnishes the most satisfactory
light. The next best is gas with an Ar
gand burner. The chimneys of both
may, as above suggested, be advantage
ously of ight-blue tint
The position of the light in relation to
the body is of great Importance. Ii a
shade is used on the lamp or burner Git
should, by preference, be of ground or
milk glass, never of colored glass;,
the light may stand directly in front of
the body and the work be allowed to lie
in the light under the shade, which will
protect the eyes from the glare of the
flame. If no shade is used, the back
should be turned to the source of light.
which ought to fell over the left shout
der. The same rule applies in the man
agement of daylight. In this case the
light should come from behind and
slightly above, and iall directly on the
work, whence it is reflected to the eve.
1t should never fall directly on the face.

The Rerenge of the Little Hippopotanams.
fat young hippopotamus
Sat grinnly by the Nile

The Rerenge of the Little Hippopotan,,ts.
fat young hippopotamus
Sat grinly by the Nile,
Contriving dire vengeance
On a lady crocodile,
Who, that morning, for her breakfast
Ate up his brothers twain;
So he pondered long and deeply
How to pay her back again.
All at once an idea struck him,
And he broke into a SMILE
80 have it N cried he joyfully;
SIN fix that crocodileI"
Then he trotted through the rushes
Until he reached dry land,
When he crept along quite silently
To mound in the hot sand,
Where the crocodile had buried
Her eggs, because she knew
The torrid sun would hatch them
Within a month or two.
Now, the savage mother-reptile
Was nowhere to be seen,
For she was calmly slumbering
Among the rushes green.
The little hippopotamus
Moved cautiously and slow,
Until he saw the heap of eggs
Then laughed he long and low,
Then boldly he marched forward,
And stamped upon that nest,
And jumped and kicked and pranced about,
As if he were possessed,
Till all the eggs were scattered
And broken every one,
Wbue all the little crocodiles
Forth from the shells did run.
The ancient mother crocodile,
Hearing her yonng ones wall,
Came rushing from her muddy couch,
Waving her frightful tail.
The little hippopotamus
Was having then huge fun,
Stepping upon the babies,
To smesh them one by one:
So he failed to see the mother,
Nor dreamed of his mishsp,
Till-whack against his side so fat
There came an awful slap.
1t lifted him from off his feet,
And hurled him up on high,
And away he went careering
Like rocket in TIE sky.
How far he flew know not,
But it's said that he was thrown
On the pyramid of Cheops,
Straddling the topmost stone.
Being too fat to Chamber down,
He may be there this day,
Unless some one in a balloon
Has carried him away.
But of this you may be certain,
That if he is not found
In the air in the water,
He's somewhere on the ground.
