Nations Without Fire.

According to Pliny, fire was long time
unknown to some OF the ancient Egyptians
and when Exodus, the celebrated astrono-
mer, showed it to them, they were absolute
ly in rapture. The Persians, Phoenicians
Greeks, and several other nations acknowl-
edge that their ancestors were once without
the use of fire, and the Chinese confess the
same of their progenitors. Pompanion,
Mola, Plutarch and other ancient writers
speak of nations who, at the time they
wrote, knew not the use of fire, or had just
learned it. Facts of the same kind are also
attested by several modern nations. The
Inhabitants of the Marian islands, which
were discovered in 1851, had no idea of fire.
Meyer was establishment greater than theirs
when they saw it on the desert Magellan, in
one OF their islands. At first they believed
it was some kind of animal that fixed to and
fed upon wood. The inhabitants of the
Philippine and Canary islands were former
ly equally ignorant. Africa presents, even

A Child's Heart.

The otner Gay curious Oid woman, hav-
ing bundle in her hand, and walking with
painful effort, sat down on a curb step, up
Woodwerd avenue, to rest. She was curious,
because q smile crossed her wrinkled face as
children passed her. 1t might have been this
smile that attracted group of little ones,
the oldest about nine. They stood in row
in front of the old woman, saying never a
word, but watching her face. The smile
frightened, fingered and then suddenly
faded away; and the cernor of her old calico
apron went up to wipe away tear. Then
the eldest child stepped forward and asked:
"Are you sorry because you haven't got
any children?"
IL bad children once, but they are all
d-dead," whispered the woman, a sob in
her throat.
'Tm awful sorry" said the little girl, as
her own chin quivered; I'D give you one
of my little brothers here, but you see 1
haven't got but two, and 1 don't believe I'd
like to spare one."
God bless you, child, bless you forever -
sobbed the old woman, and for full minute
her face was buried in her apron.
''But Pll tell you what I'll do,' seriously
continued the child. you may kiss US all
kiss him four times, for he's just ss sweet as

Pedestrians who saw three well-drassed
children put their arms around that strange
old womans neck and kiss her were greatly
puzzled. They didn't know the hearts of
children, apd they didn't hear the old wo.

Why Flowers Turn to the Sun.
THarper's for May.1

Weisner has just presented to the Vienna
Academy monograph upon heliotropism
and geotropism in plants. After historical
sketch the author treats of the influence of
light upon heliotropism. and shows that
with decreasing intensity of light the
strength of the heliotropic effect increases
to certain point, and beyond this point
decreases. The lower limit of light intens-
ity comedies with the lower limit of hello
tropic effect for the stoppage of growth in
length, while the upper limit does not
coincide, or only occasionly comedies, with
the upper limit Of heliotropic effect for
growth in length. In the case of very
sensitive heliotropic plants the upper limit
of light intensity for stoppage in growth in
length lies higher, and in less sensitive plants
lower, than the upper limit for growth in
length. He next considers the relation
between the refragibility of rays and their
heliotropic effect, and shows that portions of
very heliotropic plants, as Vicia sativa,
curve in all lights. even in the ultra-red and
ultra violet, except the yellow. Expert
ments on the joint action of heliotropism
and geotropism are next described, and the
author concludes that the phenomenon of
heliotropism is due to unequal growth upon
unequally lighted sides of the plant.

It Is related that when . Salem captain

Where dc you get your cannon"
He replied, I'VE cast them.'
And when asked again, "But where do you

He replied, with q significant smile, SAT

In 1888 Congress ordered the following in
scriptions upon cannon preserved through
out the war:
THE Hancock" Sacred to Liberty"
constituted the whole train of field artillery
possessed by the British colonies of North
America at the commencement OF the war
on the 10th OF April, 1775."
This cannon and its fellow, "The Adams"
belonging to number of citizens of Boston,
were used IN many engagements during the
war. The other two, the property of the
Government of Massachusetts, were taken
by the enemy. We believe that 1.-THE Han
cock'' and sThe Adams cannon are now
kept at the State House on Beacon Hill.
In concert with q French gentleman, the
foundry at Bridgewater for casting cannon
was erected, and the two pieces above refer
red to were cast there ''for private use" The
water are believed to have been the first ever
made in this country; and the plate shovel
manufacture, established by his son, was
really the foundation of the celebrated Ames
Shovel mandatory, at Easton.
The shovel made by Orr IN 1S4S was re-
garded as decided improvement upon the
English article. An advertisement in
Salem paper stated that "this shovel was of su-
perior quality and form to any other make" !"

Sometimes, think, the things we see
Are shadows of the things to be;
That what we plan we build:
That every hope that hath been crossed,
And every dream we thought was lost,
In Heaven shall be fulfilled.

Though here unciothed and dumb;
But ON some brighter, better shore
They live, embodied evermore,

There are words that speak of q quenchless

Which burns In the hearts we cherish,
And accents that tell of q friendship proved,
That will never blight or perish.
There are soft words murmured by dear, dear
lips,
Far richer than any other;
But the sweetest word that the ear hath heard
Is the blessed name of Mother.
Oh, magical word may 1t never die
From the lips that love to speak It,;
Nor melt away from the trusting hearts
That ever would break to keep it.
Was there ever name that lived like this?
Will there ever be such another?

For the holy name of Mother!

Ophthalmia in Egypt.

Ophthalmla IS disease not peculiar to the
Levant. In Egypt it is still more coalmon.
and in India our countrymen also suffer
from it. In India the chalk districts are
those where it prevails most, for the glare of
the white rock is very trying to the sight.
tits said that the use of kohel to the eyes is
one OF the best preservatiyes against this
painful disease. Ophthalmia is, unfortu-
nately, very catching, but care and cleanli
ness will do much to prevent its becoming
dangerous, and the use Of nitrate Of silver in
severe cases has very salutary result.

SOciatV.

There is probably no word in the
English language 50 perverted from its
original significance as society" In
its primitive meaning there was a
holy sweetness surrounding il that was
captivating. 1t implied the gathering
together after toll or separation Of the
old and young, and when a young lady
''entered society," then it meant that
she left the nursery to associate with
the older heads of the family. When a
young lady ''enters society," now it is,
in most cases, an advertisement of a
new arrival In the matrimonial market,
to which all wealthy bidders are invited,
and if a purchaser is not found and she
becomes shelf-worn and yellow, fate
tables her sold stock" and casts her
aside among the rubbish to make room
for a new supply. Society is now one
polished horde, formed of two mighty
tribes-the bores and the bored" In
the olden times, society people were es-
tinated at their true worth; inthe mod
ern by their looks, and the most sterling
articles, if in faded wrappings, are
passed by for the shoddy genteel in tin
sci and gilt. Caste, with its merciless
scalpel, now dissects the whole social
body, and as it o~stracises the poor, robs
it of its muscle and its brains, destroys
its symmetry and leaves it a mass of
heartlpss nrOud and 1ee1,
