The COOper Trade.

David Justin Strong came to Detroit
from Cleveland TO work at the cooper
trade. All the coops were full of COOP
ers, and David coGldn't strike a job.
His heart lost none of its sympathy,
however. He was walking up Grand
River avenue when he saw a woman
before him who tOttered as she walked.
He had no doubt that she was Ill, and
he rushed forward and presented her
his arm to lean on. The woman didn't
happen TO be Ill, she happened to have
9 wooden limb, and the way she went
for the sympathetic stranger made what
hair she left on his head crawl down TO
his shoulders. An officer came up.

barreled d up.
"How could l tell that she had a
wooden leg?" asked the prisoner as the
officer closed his testimony.

court looking blankly upon the man.
"That's what ails me-I'm too SYM

carefully felt of the top of his head to
see if the new hair had begun to grow
in.
"Then you feel for others woes, do
you?
"Yes | do. 1t brings tears to my
eyes to hear baby cry or to see a fat
woman fall down. I've actually shed

"Prisoner, sympathy is great
thing. "slowly remarked the court, "but
it is good deal like sour cider-good

often is as bad as a man who never
weeps at all. Haven't you burdens

The REV. HENRY WARD BEEcHR, in
his lecture on sThe Wastes and Bur-
den of Society,"" claims "man's natural
life to be so years, and as the average
life is but SO years, there must be a
waste of AZ years." There is much of
truth in this statement. If man be
unfortunate in business, it is attributed
to the violation of some commercial law.
Now, if person be taken off in the
prime of life, ought it not to be attrib-
uted to the violation of some physiologi-
cal law? If people only knew better,
they would live better and longer; but
how can they profit by that which they
know not of? The only popular work
that meets this great want is DIR.

The Wars for the Holy Land.

The Crusades were the most calami-
tous wars in the history of Europe.
They drained it of its blood and trea-
sure. The bones of millions whitened
the soil. Whole armies were annihi-
lated. OF the 100000 who set off with
Peter, only 20, 900 succeeded in reaching
Constantinople, and only a small part
of these returned to their homes. OF
the 100000 under Godfrey. of whom
10000 were horsemen-the flower OF
the European chivalry-only % 900 re-
mained after the conquest of Jerusa-
lem. Sixty-nine thousand perished i'm
the siege of Antioch Only G,000 out
of COO, 200 ever revisited their homes.
The second Crusade, formed by Ber-
nard, was even more unfortunate. Not
a single trophy cOnsoled Europe for
the loss of 100000 men. The third
Crusade, of which Richard Ceur de
Lion, Philip Augustus, and Frederic
Barbarossa were the heroes, was equal
ly unsuccessful. Saladin reaped the
real advantages. Jerusalem remained
in the hands of the Saracens, who had
retahen it. And so on, through all
these wars, no trophies were gained,
no permanent conquests remain. Their
immediate effect was wholly evil, and
the moral evils were worse than the
physical. But it is impossible that
such series of wars, lasting six gene
rations, encouraged by the Church and
zealously entered into by mOnarchs and
Statesmen, and sustained by popular
enthusiasm, should not lead to impor-
tant results. War has dignities, what
ever may be its calamities; evils are
oyerruled. Among the ultimate results
was the weakening of Mohammedan
power. Had it not been for the Cru
sades the Saracen might have ad-
Vanced TO the conquest of Europe. 1t
was Europe against Asia. Better for
the world that Asia was the battle
ground. Again, the Crusades weaken
ed the power of the fendal nobility;
undermined the feudal system, which
had became oppressive and tyrannical.
The Barons and Knights exhausted
their resources. The people were the
gamers, who secured charters for their
towns and various exemptions. Free
cities arose, and commerce and indus
try received an impulse. The arts re-
yided, and new fruits and vegetables
were imported into Europe. And Eu-
rope learned some useful lessOns-that
it was not easy to conquer Asia, any
easier than it was for Asia to conquer
Europe. Five millions perished. But
out Of destruction came creation. Let
no one, however, justify war because it
is overruled, because God is greater
than devils. The tears and miseries of
two centuries of war impress us with
this fact-it must needs be that offenses
come, but woe unto him by whom they
come.

Some successful experiments to deter
mine the precise nature of the light
which is Indispensable TO growing
planets have lately been made in
France by Monsieur Bert. He finds
that plants which are covered by red
glass will continue to grow, though not
so well as when exposed to common
sunlight; but plants which are kept
under shades of green glass cuts of
the least refrangible three. fourths OF
red rays which form constituent part
of the ordinary light; and the expert
ment shows that plant life cannot exist
when deprived of those rays. On the
other hand, the fact that they alone
cannot induce the most flourishing
growth is demonstrated by the infer.

WATERING PLASTs.-Plants set against
walls and piazzas frequently suffer
from want of water, even when ground
near them is quite wet. Draw away
tha soil around each plant so as TO form
basin /; fill it with bucketful of water
allowing it time to soak gradually away,
and, when the surface has dried little,
draw in loosely the soil over it, and it
will do without water for some weeks.
This applies to all plants wanting water
through the season. If water is merely
poured on the surface, it is made more
compact by the weight of water, and
the harder the soil becomes the easier Ii
dries, and, the result is, the more water
you give the more is wanted.

A Queer Electrical Phenomenon.

A Nevada City lady of high social
standing presents singular case for
the consideration of scientists. For
many years past she has been afflicted
with acute neuralgia pains in various
parts of her body, and some time since,
hoping to find relief, resorted to the use
Of an electrical battery. She used the
apparatus for six months, but found re-
lief. At the time nothing was noted of
unusual character as the result, and al
though several months have since
elapsed, it was only when the recent
cold weather commenced that any ex-
traordinary symptoms followed. One
night last week the lady had occasion to
enter a dark room and picked up a
woolen coat that was lying there. As
she did SO she was both surprised and
frightened to observe bright light sur
rounding the hand that held the gar
ment. At the same time the electric
currents passed along the arm, shock
ing her quite severely. When her hus-
band was informed of the fact he dis
credited its really, thinking there was
more imagination than anything else
in it. So the next evening, to convince
the incredulous better half, she turned

sitting, and letting her hair down be.
gan combing it. remarkable display
of light was the result. The sparks
few in every direction, and there was
a sharp cracking sound, as the teeth OF
the comb passed between the hairs. In
laying her hauds upon iron the lady
does not observe the peculiarities refer
ed to; but the instant she touches wool
en- cloth the fire begins to fly, and the
shocks follow one another in rapid
succession.

YOUTHS COLUMN.

Johnny's CAarty.-The big boys In the
block where Johnny lived worked very
hard that winters day in building
snow man.
All the night before there had been a
pitiless mol. easter, which had brought
the snow in such quantities that the
streets were choked, and all noises and
voices had muffled sound, as if first
they had been wrapped in blanket De-
fore they had dared TO venture out.
Johnny had done very little towards
making the man-nothing more than
to roll the two balls that were stuck on
for eyes-bec nuse he had the strangest
feeling of pity fer it.
Somehow, he felt a great awe as he
saw the frozen giant grow into clumsy
shape-bigger and bigger with each
new mass of snow heaped on it, now in
the same manner that hay is slowed
away in a NOW, and now with the help
of step-ladders.
He had stood by with his cold hands
in his pockets until his toes in his boots
were like so many little Jumps of Ice.
At last it was done, ust as the blue
twilight came on, and the lamp lighter
came to light the lamps close by, so that
the glare might shine full on the huge
figure.
Johnny turned slowly toward home
for bis supper. But he was very grave
and as soon as he had finished his por-
ridge and, he stole softly up stairs TO his
mothers chest, took a warm shawl,
crept out of the basement door, and
ran down to the corner where the neg
lected statue stood, like ghost frozen
into post while it walked.
Johnny was very afraid of two things
the dark, and policeman. But now
he had no fear. He wanted to cover up
the poor old fellow, who must be hav-
Ing such dismal time of it out alone,
and without clothes in a cold winter 4
night.
Just as he had reached the spot the
watch went by, muffied up in great
coat.
Johnny was too small to reach much
! higher than to the snow mans knees,
so he called out to the policeman
"Say, sir, won't you please to wrap
this around him?"
The policeman stopped and inquired
what was wanted, and soon learned
how Johnny's heart had been moved to
charity.
His first question then was, "W here
do you liver"
"Only up here" said Johnny won't
you please to wrap him upg"
"0h," said the man. 'this shawl isn't
large enough. You run home with it
now, and I'll see that this old fellow
don't get cold. I'll keep him company
all night, and you'll fnd him all right
in the morning."
Johnny was reassured, and let the
dreaded brass-buttoned man lead him
home to the very basement door, with
the heavy shawl dragging at his side.
Mamma was up stairs, and nobody
saw him when he came in, which was
rather lucky on the whole, for they
would have feared some dreadful thing
had happened if they had seen their
little boy led along by policeman.
Don't you think that il must have
been a very warm little heart that want
ed to cover up from the cold even n
snow man?
