As for the fifth boy, he was treated with

AS for the fifth boy, he was treated with
special care with the view of making
him an earnest and able scientific per-
son. His diet consisted of roast beef
and ale, and his playthings were states
and pencils, mathematical instruments,
specimens of minerals and fossils, and
anatomical drawings. Three times ev-
cry day he was taken to the open win
dow, and held, with his mouth open,
exposed to the east wind. Every after
noon two well-behaved little scientific
boys were brought to play with him,
and the three were accustomed to play
pitch and toss with pocket Bible for
several hours. 1t was confidently be-
lieved that under this treatment he would
become an eminent scientific person, but
Professor Huxley was. bitterly disap-
pointed. The boy became most imper-
tinent and malicious little wretch. His
self-conceit grew intolerable. 1t was
his delight to pick in pieces and to spoil
every beautiful object that came within
his reach, and to throw stones and to
boot at every respectable person that
passed near his window. II is true that
he never believed in the existence of a
God, but this was very slight consola
ton to Professor Huxley when the latter
was called a bigoted idiot by this wretch
ed boy, or told by him that he was a
stupid automatom, and he would like to
disarrange his internal mechanism with
a knife. The boy did not, as need hard
ly be remarked, resemble modern sci
entifc person in the lemotest degree,
and Professor Huxley confesses himself
unable to account for the failure of this
experiment.
Nevertheless, in his contemplated vol
ume the learned Professor has been able
to give the several formula for the pro-
duction of Swiss Calvanists, Scotch
Presbyterians, and Italian Roman
Catholics, and by these established, be-
yond controversy, his assertion that re-
ligion is the result of diet. At the same
time it should be remarked that the
nurse has confessed that she secretly
supplied the boys with religious books,
and that from the latter they derived
their religious views. As between the
assertions of a woman with a quicken
ed conscience and the grave statements
of scientific person, there can be but
little room for choice, and we must ac-
cept Professor Huxley's account of his
experiments with the same faith with
which we accept all his other scientific
assertions.-N. Y. Times.

THE POWER OF MUSIC IN THE GRANGE

Brother Grosh, in his 'Mentor i'll the
Oranges" says: 'Vocal and instrumental
music should form no small part of our edu-
c~ational measures-not merely in the direct
instruction and training of its members in
the principles and practice, but also in the
influence it exerts on the minds and feelings
of all our members" Our experience is
that good music secures good attendance,
promotes good feeling, and insures a good
time generally. In this connection We men
ton a little incident given by II correspond
ent of the Kansas Farmer in a recent nun
Der of that paper, that happened at a meet
ing of the Kansas State Grange a few years
ago, and which never before appeared in
print. The correspondent says:
"The meeting had been harmonious up
to the afternoon of the second day, when a
subject was brought forward in Il manner
calculated to create bad feeling. Personal
explanations were given which only ~increas-
Cd the mistrust and added fuel to the fire.
A dozen members were seeking to get the
floor at the same time, and everything was
apparently in wild confusion and disorder.
Amid the widest excitement, when hard
words were soon likely to be followed by
hard blows from angry men, a sweet strain
of music issued from the organ, low and
tremulous at first, but gradually filling that
large hall with what seemed to me, ut the
time, the sweetest music | had ever heard.
1t was like pouring oil upon troubled waters,
for those excited men, with quivering lips
md dowcast eyes, slowly dropped into their
seats. Oh! the power of music! Many
eyes were moist, and when the music had
ceased. those men, who had lately shown
such angry feelings. now with thankful
hearts joined heartily in giving Sister STRAIT
ton, the organist, a vote of thanks for the
timely music. Peace, harmony and good
will were restored, and those members who
were present on this occasion will always
bear testimony to the power of music.n

"Hlds.Bsuad Trees"
T. Il. HOSKINs, N. D.

1t seems to me that the use Of this
term IL unfortunate, because it misleads
tie hasty thinkers into the supposltion
that there is real analogy between the
living and elastic skin of an animal and
the dead and rigid bark Of tree. Only
the Tuner layers Of the covering Of the
trunk and larger branches possess life
or extensiblity. The outer bark yields
to the growth Of the tree, not by elasti-
city but by rupture, and If the chenico
vital action developed in the tree IS fee
Bile, it may be- unable to burst its cere-
ments," and thus enlarge itself in the
natural way.
When the tree is continuously thrifty,
1t keeps things moving" and during
the growing season pushes open the
texture which envelope, it by acontn-
aous pressure which does not allow OF
that hardening from outer heat and dry.
ness, and from interstitial deposits of
mineral matter, which finally incasss
the weakly tree with an armor that it
cannot throw of, and which still further
snteebles it by its constructing action
upon the sap vessels.
Until il was brought out in the recent
correspondence Of the Rural, it had not
occurred to me that any one would un-
dertake to relieve this construction by
Sitting the bark at any other time than
early in the growing season. A very
little reflection would teach enc that as
''the time to catch bears is when bears
are around" so the time to relieve this
pressure on the growth Of the tree, is
when the tree is growing. There can
be no question that Sitting the bark in
the fall or winter would produce an ipjur-
ious, rather than a useful eject. 1t is
no doubt true, alsefthat only under ex-
ceptiOnal circumstances is a good Or
