SPRING FUN.

The best of fun, tell you, boys-
. l wonder If you know?-
Id 20 get dozen pOlywoQs
n IND fnd out how frogs grow,
1ou 60 and catch them in the pond,
along IN early spring;
And when you stir them up-O, nv!
They squirm like anything!
They are Just like a little spot
" jelly, with two eyes:
And such . funny little tail,
" such astounding size:
You put them in great big dish
"A large bowl is the best.
They swim and squirm, and sQuirm and
And never seem to rest,
Put in some dirt and water plants
I've known them to eat meat.
They II grow and grow 90 beautiful
The girls would call them saceet.
And bunches BY and by appear
On each side there are two.
And little legs like sproutinR plants,
Will pretty soon peep through.
The legs grow long, the tail grows short;
And by and by you'll see
There isn't any tail at all
Where tail used to be.
And froggv now can jump on land,
Or in the water swim.
And scientific men will now
Amphibious" call him.

"A gentleman who has recently
visited London tells of the remarkable
influence of the Christian life in that
country from the popular singing of
the Moody and Sankey hymns. The
same story comes fror other countries
in Europe and elsewhere. This mod
ern American Sunday School music, 80
much criticised and sneered at, has al
ready taken hold on the popular heart
in America, Great Britain, Germany,
Italy, Sweden, China, India, and the
Islands of the Sea, such as no other
music has had since the days of Jubal.

Why So Depressing

DURING the early spring months it
is common to hear persons speak OF
their feelings in the manner the Lon
don Lancet describes, as follows:
Unwonted depression and uneasl-
ness, accompanied with loss OF appe-
tite and inability to sleep. are the prev
alent causes of complaint just now
among the tolerably we'll section OF
the community; and, with large
measure of accuracy, the condition,
modified as it is by individual pecu-
liarities of state and idiosyncrasies, is
attributed to the weather. The rela-
tions which subsist between such men
tai depression as constitutes melan-
cholia and the defective discharge Of
its functions by the skin may help to
explain the phenomenon. The con-
nection of cause and effect may not be
clearly made out, and the part which
the nerve-centers play in the produc-
ton of the result may be as obscure as
that which they exercise in the con.
troll of occasional pigmentary de-
posits; but the broad fact remains.
When the skin does not act freely,
when its functions are seriously i'm
peded or arrested, melancholy broods
over the mind, just as in the case of 9
subject of melancholia, as accumulated
disease, the skin becomes dense and
inactive. 1t is not random conject-
ure, therefore, that the intense and
prolonged, albeit unaccustomed and
unexpected, cold and damp work their
depressing influences mainly through
the skin. This is q trite remark, but
it is one that may with advantage he
made just now, because, in the inter:
ests Of health-preservation, especial
pains need to be taken to secure the
freest possible action of the great sur,
face system of excretory glands and
the transmitting apparatus generally.
Warmer clothing, especially at night.
frequent additions, with sufficient fric-
ton, and the promotion of skin activity
by every legitimate form at exercise.
are obvious measures of health which
everybody ought to understand and all
should practice"

Sayings by Josh Billings.

INSPIRATION always waits upon the
busy. l have seen men sit down all
day under q shade tree with q hoe in
their hand, close to the edge of corn
field, waiting to be inspired; but the
weeds in that cornfield didn't wait for
any inspiration.
MANY people have no other way to
succeed in this world but to pull 9TH
ers back, but the true wayi is to elevate
others as high as we can, and then put
ourselves above them.
The man whom praise always makes
humble, is an ironclad.
If a man will tell me what he thinks
of his neighbors, can tell him what his
neighbors think of him.
The more intelligent man becomes,
the less he thinks of himself, and the
more he thinks of others.
How many thousands there are who
live out whole life, ard have nothing
to prove it by. only that they have had
the humps, the measles, and perhaps
the chicken-pox.
After all, there is very much which
is called courage, which is nothing
more than fear; we are afraid OF being
called towards, and so we are very
brave.
This world is full of heroes. know
thousands of them to-day, who are
working hard for twelve dollars aweek,
to feed and clothe their wives and chill
dren.
An honest man is satisfied with the
approval of his own conscience, while
simply honorable man often only
looks to the world for his approval.
The man who can be familiar with
eyery one he meets, and preserve their
respect. and not lose his own, is very
uncommon character.
The man who has got so low down
that he can't be flattered, has got 80 low
down that he can't be abused.
The habits of . snob are something
like the wearing of tight boots; they
arc painful to the man who wears
them, and ridiculous to those who see
them.
Those who have the warmest friends
have also the bitterest enemies, and this
is the only positive test of great strength
of character.
There is such q thing as . wise fool.
He is the fellow who knows how to hide
his folly.-N. Y. Weakly.

Carefully conducted soundings,

the fact that while the surface water

of 81 deg, the heat at great depths
varies exceedingly; at . depth of five

80 deg. "a fact which is explained by
the supposition of cold Arctic stream

An Italian physician claims to have
made valuable discovery--one that
should be warmly welcomed in this
country. 1t Is method Of tuning up
nerves, just as the strings Of q violin.
guitar, or harp are tuned up. and OF
bringing them into such harmony that
the nervously disordered person shall be
instantly and entirely relieved. The
nerves Of the human body, in the
Italians opinion, lose their tone pre-
cisely as musical instrument loses tone.
II they all run down alike, 1t Il OF small
consequences, as they will still be in uni
son. But when some run down COM
pletcly, some partially, and Others not
at all, harmony u wholly destroyed, and
nervous disturbance and suffering Is the
necessary result. A great deal Of ill
health and any number Of deaths are d.
rectly traceable to dennged nerves, par
ticularly in America, where, owing to
the stimulating air, the extremes OF heat
and cold, the nature Of our institutions
and our evershifting conditions, with
other causes, we are the most nervous
people on the globe. II we as nation
could be periodically tuned up. or rather
tuned down--for we need repression far
more than exaltation-we should be not
only much contented and physically
much stronger, but we should have
vast reserve Of force Of which we have
not hitherto been able to boast. We
make copious music, such as II is, over
here, but its quality and volume might
be improved and augmented by the
proper training Of our nerves. Weneed
to have our discords reduced; our
chords are altogether too tense, and are
continually swapping BY overstrain.
The Italian should come to our land and
begin his experiments. II offers an adj
mirable field.
