Influence Of Light on Vegetation.

Among the more recent discoveries of
science is the fact that it is not merely
light, but the different kinds of light,
that have particular influences on vege-
tation. DR.. Schuheler, the distinguished
botanist of Christiana, in Norway, has
shown that the seed of wheat brought
from the most extreme point that wheat
will ripen produces plants which ripen
their seed more quickly than more south
ern seed grown at the same place, and
the plants from northern seed are richer
in carbohydrates. The brightness OF
color, also, both in leaves and flowers
increases with the altitude, or the APP
proach to the Pole, and this seems to re-
suit from the peculiar light of these re-
gions. at Christiana the sun during the
summer solstice, remains below the no.
rizon only about five hours. At Bodo,
in Nordland, it does not fall at all below
the horizon from the I'd OF June till the
Ilth of July. At Hamerfest it is above
the horizon from the 18th of May to the
10Th of July. So that in these parts of
the world the plants have a sort of
.smorning suns to grow under continu-
ously for nearly-two months. This Pc
culiar light seems more favorable to GER
tain chemical elements in plants. The
common caraway seed is found to be
richer in the volatile oil which gives it
the well-known aroma when grown at
Christiana than further SOUTH. On the
other hand, the brighter light of more
southern ATTITUDES fayors the saccharine
products of plants. 7. Independent.

DrOneS in the Human Hives.

. Emphatically the man who does moth
ing, either by his hands or his brain, to
improve the condition of mankind, and
who tries only to crafty selfish purposes,
has lived to but little purpose. The
humblest laborer that digs in the dirt
and breaks the stone is more to be hon.
ored than such man. A man of wealth
who uses that wealth to improve his
country, to reward labor and to benefit
his fellow-man is worthy of all praise,
and deserves our warmest thanks; but
he who lives on the interest of his money,
though it be counted by millions, and
contributes nothing to the general well
fare through earnest effort, is a mere
drone in the human hive, and will, when
he passes away, leave behind him the
most valuable part-his money. Such a
person never realizes the immense accu-
mutation of effort, of skill and money
necessary in carrying out successfully
any manufacturing or business enterprise
which, when properly consummated.
will produce such far-reaching benefits
in this illustration is too far back to be of
any use to hint at reform, but for the
principles which we wish to elucidate it
has served our purpose. The difference
between the man whose interest alone
supports him and the man who labors
early and late on the farm, in the man
ufactory, at the desk, in mercantile pur-
suits, professions or in following the lead
of inventive genius cannot at all be
estimated by comparing one with the
other While the first has been aptly
compared to the drone, the latter, in
Guiding all producing industries, should
be, styled the Nation benefactors. What
creates wealth? Who build splendid
mansions for the abode of wealth and
culture? Who build our magnificent
floating palaces? Who produce the rich
fruits with which they are laden? The
men who till the soil, who work the
mines, who. run the furnaces, who toll
in the shops, to gain the support they so
honestly earn. When financial disaster
comes, who suffers the most? Is it the
man with his millions? By no means
but the working, toilng millions, that
are victims to this unequal distribution
of money. Every manufacture can af-
ford to pay good wages when he can sell
what his laborers produce at remunera-
tive prices; so also, should capital pay
for its Injuries and extravagances in an
equal ratio. No capital should remain
in an unemployed condition when a
country Astounding in mineral wealth, as
does ours, offers such inducements. Let
capital seek out locations for manufac-
tories, open our mines, construct our
railways, instead of being boarded and
subject to locality :prejudices, and en-
ploy the thousands who now suffer
through the mismanagement of the very
men whose Golfers. they have helped to
swell. Our country is rich in resources,
and to assist their development is the
duty of her citizens. How different
would be the condition of the laboring
men in this State if the money within its
borders was put to use, and those desir-
ing to work were given employment at
remunerative prices.-San Francisco

Wonderful Miracles Performed by an
..- Unassuming Man in Virginia.

A special to the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat from Wytheville, Va, April ID,
tells the following remarkable story:
For some weeks past the people of
Scott County have been terribly excited
over the miracles which have been per-
formed by Richard Miller, of that coun-
ty. His fame has extended all over that
section of the State, and hundreds of the
afflicted are daily visiting him. Miller
is middle-aged man, employed as the
vile. He is deeply religious, and claims
to have had a dream, a month ago, in
which the idea was impressed on him
that, with Gods help, he could perform
wonderful cures, simply through faith.
He states that the next day after a ferv-
ent prayer he healed a sick man by
touching him. The intelligence of the
miracle went all over the country, and
the afflicted of all kinds came to him and
were healed, simply by the touch OF his
hand. Yesterday G. r. Wertz, a photog-
rapher at, Abingdon, visited Miller in
company with a paralytic uncle, the seat
of the paralysis being in the mouth,
which deprived him both of the powers
of speech and hearing. Miller looked
at the afflicted man, and after short
prayer touched him and told him that
before he reached home he would be
well. Last night, as Mr.. Wertz entered
the door of his house on his return, his
hearing and speech came back to him,
and to-day he is apparently hale and
hearty. Miss Irene Newton, beautiful
young lady of Bristol, Tenn, helpless
from rheumatism, was brought to Miller
last week and when an attempt was
made to lift her into the carriage she
rose from sedan chair and said she was
entirely well. One of the most wonder
full miracles of Miller was the cure of
Mr.. Peter Whitesell, who has been for
some years afflicted with. cancer. The
cancer was touched, and in three days
had disappeared. The miracle-workeri is
an exceeding modest man, and always
Indignantly declines any compensation
for his services, alleging that he is bur
the humble instrument of God. He takes
no credit to himself for the performance
of these miracles. All the people in his
section believes firmly in his miraculous
powers. .i t..,-
