The Extinction of Species.

The extinction of many animals that
are known to have formerly existed on
the earth is subject which cannot very
easily be explained, says the Popular
Science Monthly, while the number of
them is greater than at first sight would
be supposed. Various species no doubt
undergo gradual extinction by changes
which deprive them of their accustomed
food; but others seem to die out from I'M
known causes. During the historic
period considerable number Of animals
have been swept off the British Islands,
among which are the bear, the wolf, the
irish elk, etc. In America, during the
comparatively short period of its histo-
ry, various species have vanished, and
others are following them. The beaver,
formerly so generally spread over the
whole of this country, is now only to be
found in remote regions. The deer and
moose are disappearing in the same man
ner. The bison is very much diminished
in numbers, and must ere long become
extirpated. The mastadon, a creature
of enormous bulk, has totally disappear
ed, although, along with the skeletons of
them which have been discovered, there
are evidences of their having lived on
food derived from plants which are still
existing. In other parts of the world
the dodo and the moa have persisted
within the last few centuries; and the
apteryx is undergoing the same fate.

People generally desire long life and
good health. Sickness and premature death
are almost always due to violations of the
laws that govern our physical being and of
which the masses are ignorant If men
knew better they would do better; but how
can they avoid an evil that they know not
of? While efforts are made through the pub
lie schools to give each child so-calIed
common English education, yet the children
are permitted 30 grow up and enter upon
the responsible duties of active life pro-
toundly ignorant of the structure of their
own bodies, and the laws of physical being
upon which their health and lives depend.
They are sent to school and crammed with
arithmetic, grammar and geography, by
teachers who, in many instances, have never
studied physiology and hygiene. They are
taught to locate the mountains and trace
the rivers OF foreign countries, but are
never taught to locate the vital organs and
glands OF their own bodies, or trace the
veins, arteries, and nerves, in their various
ramlteations They are instructed in the
How OF the tides, and the course Of the
ocean currents, and the philosophy of winds
and storms; but they have no correct con-
ceptlon of the relative effects upon their
henlth OF breathing pure or impure air, nor
mas their attention ever been called to the
importance of keeping their bodies clean
and healthy by regular bathing The GRIM
lnallty of such neglect in teaching becomes
apparent when We consider that the masses,
ignorantly violating the laws of health,
bring upon themselves sickness, suffering,
and death, that might otherwise be avoided.
In this condition of things we welcome into
being any work that is calculated to impart
to the masses a knowledge of the structure
of their own bodies, the laws of health, and
the importance of observing those laws.
We find DIR. Pierce's Common Sense Medi-
cal Adviser to be just such a work. 1t is
physiological and pathological, and the
major part of it should be converted into a
textbook for the use of common schools.
Its careful study will enable the healthy to
preserve their health, and the sickly to re-
gain health. Every parent should read it,
and as their children become of proper age
instruct them III the all-important truths it
contains. Were this done, much suffering
and premature death would be prevented
and many youth saved from a life OF
shame and RIGHTEOUSNESS. The book con-
tains nearly one thousand pages, is pro.
fusely illustrated with colored plates and
wood-engravings, and can be had by ad

A Guinea for a SiXpence.

A firm in New York seems unfamiliar
with the London story of the man who of
fered to sell real guineas at tritie, but could
find no buyers. Geo. P. Rowell & Co.,-the
Newspaper Advertising Bureau" propose,
for one hundred p dollars, to put ten-line
advertisementin some thirty standard week
lies, ard to slide it into thousand other
weeklies free. Do they expectpeople to take
the offer? Amy one acquainted with the
high rates of these standard weeklies can
see that the thing is ridiculous. Rowen &
Co. must know very well that acceptance of
the offer would be so many items to charge
to profit and loss. We retract our insinua-
ton about their ignorance of that London
story. They probably know it too well, and
are shrewd enough, by taking advantage OF
that human trait at which the story hits, to
make stroke for fame as men of startling
liberality, and at the same time run no risk
of pecuniary loss.

Arizona Steaks.

Needles" the well-known tragedian,
says that during late professional trip
in the wilds of Arizona, he was obliged
to pay 81 for tri-weekly meals, and came
near starving to death, even when he
paid in that princely style.
Why" said Needles, there they put
on your plate little round bit of steak
only SO big describing circle in the
palm of his hand about the size of a
nickel-'' then it's so tough that one
must bolt it whole. | at first thought
they were playing off joke on me, but,
looking on the plates of others, l saw
that all had the same. After leaving
the table happened to saunter round to
the shed that served as kitchen, and
there I saw the cook with piece of meat
spread on a block, diligently engaged in
punching out the steaks with a nallet
and a wad-cutter,"

The Chg Muddv.v

From the Burlington awkeye.
The dust blows out of the Missouri
river. 1t is the only river in the world
where the dust blows in great columns
out of the river bed. The catfish come
up 10 the surface to sneeZe. From the
great understanding sandbars on the
Kansas shore great columns of dust and
sand, about 1000 feet high, come whirl-
ing and sweeping across the river and
hide the town, and sweep through the
train and make everything SO dry and
gritty that man can light match on
the roof of his mouth. The Missouri
river is composed of six parts of sand
and mud and four parts of water. When
the wind blows very hard it dries the sur
face of the river and blows it away in
clouds of dust. 1t is just dreadful. The
natural color of the river is seal brown,
but when it rains for two or three days
at time and gets the river pretty wet, it
changes to a heavy iron gray. A long
rain will make the river SO thin it can
easily be poured from one vessel into an
other, like cocktail. When it is ordina-
rily dry, however, it has to be stirred
with stick before you can pour it out
of anything. 1t has current of about
twenty-nine miles an hour, and perhaps
the largest acreage of sand-bars to the
square inch that was ever planted.
Steamboats, run down the Missouri river.
So do newspaper correspondents. But
if the river is not fair to look upon,
there is some of the grandest country on
either side of it the sun ever shone upon.
How such a river come to run through
such paradise is more than can under
stand

1.-THE PRAISE MEETING OF THE
FLOWERS.n

The flowers of many climates
That bloom all seasons through,
Met in a stately garden
Bright with the morning dew.
For praise and loving worship,
The Lord they came to meet:
Her box of precious ointment
The Rose broke at his feet.
The Passion-fower His symbols
Wore fondly on her breast;
She spoke OF sef-denial
As what might please Him best.
The Morning glories fragile
Like infants soon to go:
Had dainty toy-like trumpets,
And praised the Master so.
His word is like to honey"
The Clover testified,
And all who trust Thy promise
Shall in Thy love abidt,''
The lilies said " 0 trust to Him.
We neither toll nor spin,
And yet His House of beauty
Gee how we enter in! -
The King-cup and her kindred
Said, " Let us all be glad
Of his redundant sunshine
Behold how we are cladl "
And let us follow Jesus"
rhe Star of Bethlehem said,
And all the band of flowers
Bent down with Teverent head.
The glad Sun-f0wer answered,
Aud little Daisies bright,
And all the cousin Asters,
" We follow towards the light"
I'VE praise him for the mountains"
The Alpine Roses cried
60 We bless Him for the Valleys
The Violets replied.
q We praise Him." said the Air-plants,
q For breath we never lack %
:" And for the rocks we praise Him."
The Licheus answered back.
ave praise God for the waters"
The Salt Sea-Inosses sighed;
And all His baptized lilies
"Amen! Amen" replied.
" 4 nd for the cool green woodlands
We praise and thanks return"
said kalmias and AzaleaS
And graceful Feathery-fern,
" And for the wealth of gardens,
And all the gardener Thinks"
Said Roses and Camelias
And all the sweet-breathed Pinks
Hosannah in tie Highest"'
The baby Biuets sang;
And little trembling Harebells
With softest music rang.
The winter hath been bitter,
But sunshine follows storm
Thanks for his loving kindness
The Earths great heart is warm.''
So said the Pilgrims May flower,
That cometh after snow,
The humblest and the sweetest
OF all the flowers that blow.
" Thank God for every weather,
The sunshine and the wet"
Spoke out the cheering Pansies
And darling Mignonette
And then the rain descended,
The heavens were all aglow;
The little Morning-glorics
Had faded hours ago.
And now the bright day-Lilies
Their love-watch ceased to keep;
lie giyeth," said the Poppies,
- To his beloved, Sleep
The gray of evening deepened,
The soft wind stirred the corn;
When sudden in the garden,
Another flower was born.
1t was the evening Primrose;
Her sisters followed fast,
With perfumed lips they whispered,
81 Thank God for night at lastp'

audience here last night. His speech
was mainly devoted to State Affairs,
though he alluded to the campaigners
