Without A Newspaper.

Nothing presents a sadder COM
mentary upon the present. condition OF
society than the large number Of
families, both in town and in the
county, but more especially in the
latter. that subscribe to no paper
of any kind. Hundreds and thou
sands OF families are thus growing
up utterly ignorant Of what Is trans
piring in the world around them
ignorant Of the mighty events Of the
day. But who can tell the vast
amount Of injury that is being In
fiicted upon the rising generation
these who are to take our places In
the busy world at no distant day
growing up without any knowledge
of the present. or any study OF the
past; this ignorance, too, being i'm
bued into them by the sanction Of
those who should, and doubtless do
know better, did they only think OF
the injurious effects OF their insane
course. Let the head OF every fami-
ly think of this. and place In the
hands Of those whom he is RESPONSE

knowledge Of the moving panorama
In which we act our different parts.

How The Tides Are Produced.

There has always been a difficulty
in the minds OF the teachers, as well
as in the minds OF learners to CON-
prehend the theory of the tides as
presented in our text books. This
theory fails to give a satisfactory ac-
uount OF the cause OF the tides on
the side OF the earth. most remote
from the sun and moon. According
to this theory, at that part of the
earth's surface which is turned away
from the moon and the sun, a less
amount OF attraction is felt by her
waters than anywhere else on her
surface; and the whole earth is,
therefore, in effect drawn away from
the waters on the far side OF
her, aud thus, the water being left
behind, q tide Is produced on this
side, as we'll as on the side at which
the force OF gravity acts directly.
That so great an absurdity should
have been accepted 80 long by our
writer's OF textbooks Is truly mar
velous. 1t Is, indeed so contrary to
all known facts and laws OF physics,
and IL no other influences are felt by
the waters at the far side OF the earth
than attraction, there would be just
the opposite effect produced on that
alleged by this absurd hypothesis.
This can be demonstrated by actual
experiment, and as conclusively as
any other fact coming within the
reach OF experimental philosophy.
1t has been proved experimentally
that all bodies on the surface of the
earth at midnight are heavier than al
any other hour OF the tweEty-four
and when the new moon occurs al
midnight this increase Of weight oil
gravity felt by matter on this part oi
the surface Of the earth Is greater
Now, II this theory were correct, at
traction would produce just the op-
| posite effect; that Is, matter would
weigh less at midnight than at any
other hour OF the twenty-four. On
the side of the earth facing the sur
and moon, the weight of bodies IL
diminished, as IL should be, accord
ing TO the theory which propose II
| establish in this article.-FODiday

Some Ones Servant Girl.

She stood there leaning wearily
Against the window frame;
Her face was patient, sad, and sweet,
Her garments coarse and plain.
who is she, pray?" asked friend,
The red lips gave curl.
Really. don't know her name,
She's some ones servant girl.
Again saw her on the street,
With burden trudge along,
Her face was sweet and patient still
Amid the jostling throng.
Slowly but cheerfully che moved,
Guarding with watchful care
A market basket much too large
For her slight hands To bear.
A man I'd thought gentleman
Went pushing rudely by,
Sweeping the basket from her hands,
But turning not his eye;
For there was no necessity,
Amid that busy whirI,
For him to be gentleman
To some ones servant girl.
All well II is that God above
Looks in upon the heart,
And never judges any one
BY Just the outer part.
For II the soul be pure and good,
He will not mind the rest,
Nor question what the garments were
In which the form was dressed.
And many man and woman fair,
BY fortune reared and fed,
Who will not mingle here below
With those who earn their bread,
When they have passed away from lifs
Beyond the gates of pearl,
Will meet, before their Fathers throne,
With many a servant girl.

Friends.

People who have warm friends are
healthier and happier than those who
have none. A single real friend Is a
pleasure worth more than gold or
precious stones. Money can buy
many things, good and evil. All the
wealth Of world could not buy o
friend or pay you for the loss Of one.

LAND AT THE POLE.
An Interesting Theory Developed by
the Wild Geese
Virginia City Enterprise. J

l'HRnia lily hnterprlse.J
About four years ago a farmer OF
Surprise valley found in the crop
OF a wild goose a small quantity
OF grain, the like of which he had
never before seen. He planted this
grain, and it grew and flourished,
producing more than a hundred fold.
The straw and beardless head are
said to resemble wheat while the
grain looks like rye, but is twice as
large. The farmer has now many
bushels OF this cereal, and has sent
samples OF 1t to be planted in various
places in California, where food for
cattle Is not easily obtained at some
seasons, as the new grain, when cut
before it is thoroughly ripe, makes
excellent hay. An old sailor, OF this
city, after reading an item which has
been going the rounds Of the papers
in regard to the new cereal, the sub
stance Of which item is given above,
finds his memory refreshed. It brings
to his recollection a circumstance
he had almost forgotten, and has set
him to thinking. He has thought it
all out, and is now firmly of the opin-
ion that there is an iuhabitable land at
the north pole.
The old man says he was one Of the
crew OF the Investigator, Captain
McClue, which sailed from England
in 1850, in company with the Enter
prise, Commander Collinson, in
search Of Sir John Franklin, and he
certainly has in his possession one OF
the Artic medals given by the Eng
lish admiralty, toall persons engaged
in these Polar expeditions from 1918
to 1856. In September OF that year,
the Investigator reached a land
which Captain Mcclure named Bar
ings Land. and three days after other
land, which he named after Prince
Albert where about the last OF the
month they were frozen in.
While in the last named land the
explorers observed many wild geese
and other water fowl flying south
ward, some OF the geese stopped at
the place where the ship lay and sew
eral were killed by the members OF
the crew. In the crops of some Of
these geese he recollects to have
seen, and marvelled at seeing, a con-
siderable quantity OF a grain such as
the new cereal OF Surprise valley is
said to be. As no such grain is
known in the temperate zone. and
as we have no account OF q grain OF
the kind being found in any known
region OF the world, he Is OF the opin-
ion that the geese obtained 1t in
region lying about the open polar
sea.
He says no man has yet gone so
far north but he has found wild geese
and other water fowl flying still fur
ther northward. As the geese are
undoubtedly vending their way to a
well-known stopping place far to the
north, there must be something for
them to feed upon at the point where
they stop. As wild geese no more
live on fish than do tame ones, there
must be In the country to which they
go grass and other vegetation similar
to that found In temperate regions.
The wild geese that halt on the Pa
cific coast make the grain fields their
feeding, and it is not likely that In
the land about the pole their nature
is so changed that they feed upon
MOSES or fish.
