The Way They DO Up North.

4 Detroit man who was hunting land
few weeks ago in Antrim county, came
across a settler who was doing some
logging with yoke of oxen. The two
sat down together on log and had a
talk, during which it transpired that
the settler had been a deacon in viii
lage in the southern part OF the State.
aud had lately moved in there. By and
by the Detroiter moved on. but after
travelling for half mile had to retrace
his steps to secure closer particulars re-
garding the lay of surveyed highway.
While he was yet eighty rods away he
heard shouts, and the nearer he drew
the more the shouts sounded like cuss
words. When he reached the clearing
the settler was jumping up and down
and pounding the oxen, which refused
to pull on log. Every word uttered
by the settler required three exclama-
ton points to punc.uate it, and they
were ground out like wheat from u hop.
per.
"My friend, didn't understand you
to say" observed the Detroiter, "that
you were deacon of the church,"
"Whoa, there, you-infernal-,
that's what l told you"
"And You expressed the hope that
you might become a shining light in
this wilderness
~ did. Back up there. YOU old
hyena with horns on! Yes, that's my
hope"
"But the language you have aud
are making use of is utterly inconsist-
ent with your asserted faith and pro-
fession."
"Stranger-whoa, you old imp!-
strsnger-stand up there, or I'll chaw
your ear oK-stranger, there is only
one way for Christian man to work
alongside of a yoke of straw.colored
steers. I've tried all other ways, and
I've had to come to this. See that -
internal idiot-headed steer trying to
turn his yoke! Hold on till l cut the
hide off his ribs!"
"What way is that ?" asked the De-
troiter, after the settler had worn up
his CAD and thrown the stump of it
away.
you've got to holler and yell, and
swear, and sweat during the day, and
sing odd Hundred all the evening!
The general opinion around here is
that one sort O. balances the other, es-
pecially as none of us go fishing on
Sunday; but if it don't balance, and
there's anything extra laid up agin me,
I've got to git even by pounding that
mule hitched over there with one hand,
and holding the other over my mouth.
Whoa, there-back up. or I'll cut your
hides to shoe-strings! "-DetroR Press.

the Moons Force.

After getting somewhat accustomed
I to the greatness and strength of bar
OF solid steel sixteen and half feet
square, imagine one which is one mile
! square-5,2SO feet wide and as many
thick. If it lay on the ground near the
Catskill Mountains, its upper surfaces
would overtop their highest summit by
more. than 1000 feet. 1t would be
equal to 102 400 such monster bars as
, the last. Its lifting power would be
nearly 240, 500 900, 900 tous. The mind
Is utterly unable to grasp such figures.
he whole globe contains 1000 900 900
inhabitants. If each man, woman and
child could pull with force of 100
| pounds-a large estimate to remove
! such weight would require the united
efforts OF = 900 such worlds as this. As
shall have frequent occasion to speak
of the load wkich such bar could sus-
tain, shall, for convenience, call it in
round numbers 100000, 900. 600 tons,
neglecting the other figures. because
the number is so inconceivably great
that taking from it billion or so of
tons will alter the result less than one.
hnlf of one per Sentum. This bar is to
be the unit OF measure which l shall
for the present employ.
II a half dozen persons we're asked
how large the moon appears. they would
give as many different replies: "The
size of cart-wheel;" twelve inches
across" "the size of dining plate; "
las big as mans head" etc. Proba-
bly, no one would mention a smaller
measure. yet cherry held at arm 3
len 9Th much more than Covered it's
disk. 1t is difficult to believe that SO
small body exerts any considerable
influence on the earth, which seems so
immensely larger. 1t is easy enough
to admit that the earth holds the moon
in its orbit; but that to do this, to bend
its course into a nearly circular orbit,
requires any great outlay of force, i 8
not so clear. Our credulity would be
taxed were we asked to believe that the
moon in its efforts to move in straight
line would break away, although held
by bar of steel one foot square, for
that mean, force able to lift nearly
5000 tons. An astronomer would grant
it, making first q mental calculation to
see if he were justified in doing so; but
even he would hesitate, and perhaps
would deny that it was possible the
moon could pull asunder one of those
great unit bars one mile square, and
equal to more than ~ 600. 900 bars each
one foot square.
But we would have no hesitation in
saying impossiblew if told that
rather than change its coarse from
straight line to its present curve, our
willful little satellite would snap like
pack thread not enc nor two nor three
of those unit bars. but the united
strength of 10. 900 OR, in other words.
one gigantic bar whose section is 100
miles square. Yet more than eight
such bars, or, more precisely. $500
unit-bars, would but barely defect the
moon into its present path. -Popular
