IS Mars Inhabited2

There is no other planet of the solar
system, says Science for AU, which Of
fers so close an analogy to the earth as
Mars. The telescope reveals to us the
figures of broad tracts of land and ex-
panses of sea upon his surface. The dur
ations of his day and night almost coin
eide with our own. His exterior expe-
riences the alternating changes of the
seasons. His nights are illum1ned by
two satellites, which present all the phe-
nomena of our own moon, and more fire.
quently, owing to their greater velocity.
An atmosphere probably surrounds this
planet in fact, the existence of air is
indispensable to his other features.
Hence the inference that Mars is hab-
table globe appears very obvious and
fair conclusion, and it would be incon-
sistent to imagine that this planet, pro-
vided, apparently, with all the requisite
natural facilities to render life a neces-
sary and desirable feature of his surface,
is sphere of desolation, mass of inert
matter which, though conforming to the
laws of gravitation, is otherwise serving
no useful end, as the abode and susten-
ance of animate creatures. 1t Is far more
in accordance with analogy and rational
speculation to conclude that Mars is the
center of life and activity, and that his
surface is teeming with living beings.

Eyading a Fare.

The stealing of pin is apparently a
slight ofense Yet it may reveal char
acter as clearly as the theft of 800.
Some years ago there lived in New York
a shrewd old merchant named Aymar.
He used to receive cargoes of mahogany
and logwood, which were sold at auc-
ton.
On one occasion a cargo was to be
sold at Jersey City, and all hands started
from the auctioneer's store to cross the
ferry. When they were going through
the gate, Mr. Aymar noticed one of the
largest buyers slip through the gate
without paying the cents fare. He
told the auctioneer not to take bid
from that man.
"Why," said the auctioneer, with an
expression of surprise, "I thought he
was good"
$50 did T." answered Mr.. Aymar !;
"but I have. changed my mind, and I
will not trust him ST."
A few months proved the accuracy of
the Judgment Of Mr.. Aymar, for the
slippery merchant failed, and did not
pay cents on the dollar. It does not
by any means follow that business dis
aster will come as retribution to dis
honest trader; but this is certain, that a
man who will steal even so trifing a
sum as would pay his fare in the horse
car or the ferryboat will cheat you out
of a larger sum if he finds safe oppor-
tunity.

Splicing the. Ladder:

One night the large and splendid Sail
ors' Home inIiverpool was on fire, AIDA
vast multitude of people gathered towit-
ness the confagration. The fury of the
flames could not be checked. It. was,
supposed that all the inmates, had left
the burning building. Presently, how
ever, two poor fellows were seen stretch
ing their arms from an upper window,
and were shouting for help. What
conld be done to save them2
Astout marine from n-of-war1y
in the river said, "Give m5 long lad
der, and ] will try it."
He mounted the ladder. It was too,
short to reach the window. 'sPass me
up small ladder p he shouted.
1t was done Even that did. not reach
to the arms stretched frantically out of
the window The brave marine was not
to be baked. He lifted the short lad
der up on his shoulders, and, holding on
by easement, he brought the upper
rounds within reach of the two men, who
were already scorched by the flames.
Out of the window they clambered,
and creeping down over the short ladder,
and then over the sturdy marine, they
reached the pavement amid the loud
hurrahs of the multitude.
It was a noble deed, and teaches a
noble lesson. It teaches us that when
we want to do good service to others we
must add our own length to the length
of the ladder.
Harry Norton saw that his fellow-clerk,
Warren Proctor, was becoming hard
smoker and hard drinker, although he

rem replied:
"Why, you sometimes take cigar
and glass of wine yourself"
"If you will sign a pledge never to
smoke cigar or touch a glass of liquor
will do the same" was the reply.
The bargain was made, and Harry
saved his friend by adding the length Of
his own example to the length of the
ladder.
A widow lady near me was suffering
from sickness and poverty. Her daugh-
ter, delicate, refined girl, said to her
sell, ''My mother must be taken care Of;
I'll advertise for place as a servant
girl" q
She did So A rich man saw the adj
vertise1nent, and, determining that the
brave girl should not undertake that, he
procured her situation as secretary in
an institution where she gets 5000
year. An unselfsh daughter thus
brought relief to suffering mother.
She spliced the ladder with her own
self-denying exertions.
It is noble thing to be unselfsh, and
to give up qualifications for the sake of
other people. When the great Christian
sage Of old said, st is not right to drink

I could tell of two Christian lads, well
educated and refined, who go every

degraded street, that they may encour-
age some poor ragged boys to go there
too. Those two boys have the spirit
of Jesus Christ. They are not selfish;
and they mean that the poor, ignorant
lads shall climb up in the world over
them.
That is the way to initiate the Di-
vine Master, who gave Himself that men
might climb out Of the folly and degra-
dalton of sin into heaven itself.

Farm Schools for Girls.

France has agricultural schools for
girls. One of the chief is near Rouen,
which is said to have been begun with a
capital of | franc, by Sister of Charity
and two little discharged prisoner girls,
and to be now worth 100000. The es-
adjustment has now 300 girls from to
Is. The farm, entirely cultivated by
them, is over 400 acres in extent.
Twenty-Five Sisters form the staff of
teachers More than one medal of the
French Agricultural Society has been
awarded TO this establishment at Darn
etel, and the pupils are in great demand
all over Normandy on account of their
skill. They go out as stewards. garden
ers, farm managers, DAIRY women and
laundresses. Each girl has, on leaving,
an outfit and small sum of money,
earned in spare hours. If they want
home they can always return to Darn
etel, which they are taught to regard as
home. London Farmer.

Anti-tobacconists will find comfort
and arguments in the fact that Partisan

of the long-ived, tough old Frenchmen

Counting in South Africa,

The Beers of South Africa have q sim
gular counting custom. A young man
takes fancy to a girl and calls upon her
in the evening, presenting her with a
lighted wax candle. If she blows out
the light and returns the candle, it is
his sign of dismissal, and he makes no
further effort in that direction. IF she
accepts the candle he considers it an ac-
ceptance of his suit. In that case the
mother of the girl takes the candle
and sticks pin in it. All the members
of the family then leave the room, and
the lovers are free to do their counting.
When the candle burns down to the pin,
however, he must take his leave.

opinion as follows:
When Blaine is found to be strong enough
in Ohio 10 win victory over sherman, the
folly OF rejecting the Maine statesman at Chi
cago Is made more apparent by the showing.
Dir. sherman had requested the state central
committee to fix an early day this month for
the meeting OF tie Ohio Republican state con-
ventou. When tn committee met on Thurs
day last the friends OF M. Blaine decided that
his interest would be better served by a later
date FOR the holding of the state convention
The Blaine men carried the day on Sherman's
own ground. and April 2Sih. at Columbus, was
decided on. No candidate for the presidential
office ever had such call rom the people a.
has Blaine. Il is pretty clear that on the sec

The Saturday Evening Leader closes a long

The Saturday Evening Leader closes long
article on the presidency as follows:
Mr.. Blanes speeches laid the foundation OF
success in the campaign Of 1876, though he was
not selected as the standard bearer. The ex-
element growing out Of this exciting session
with all Its atten dant events brought Mr.. Blaine
more prominently before the country than any
other citizen for the time, centered upon him
indeed hostility more malignant an1 love
more enthusiastic than are often inspired bv
public service, and his failure 10 be nominated
at Cincinnati was disappointment to the great
mass OF Republicans throughout the country.
To thousands in Pennsylvania bis defeat came
as something like a personal grief, and to thou
sands IN our own Michigan il came like clap
OF thunder from clear sky, staggering them
for awhile, aud in place OF the greatest enthu-
slasm left dependency aud disappointment.
His love OF party and steadfastness to Repub-
lican principles has never been questioned. he
Is strong party man, and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and is to-day one OF the recognized party lead
ers IN the United States, while lie has always
stood at the bead, as the leader OF the Repub-
llcan party in his own state.
Those who have been disposed to regard
MIR. Blaine as an Impulslve and probably rash
man, were kindly furnished by the Democratic
party the opportunity to be completely unde-
ceived, in the steadlness, persistence, and sue
cess with which he conducted the Republican
party in Maine through its recent trouble. and
brought order and law out OF chaos and threat
ened violence. No finer display OF statesman
like qualities has been seen in this country.
and the American people are not slow TO per-
ceive that In the protracted and perilous
struggle in Maine, Dir. Blaine exhibited all the
qualities required for the discharge of the
most difficult and delicate duties of an execu
tive station.
MIR. Blaine is undoubtedly the choice OF nine
tenths OF the Republicans OF Michigan to-day.
ana we hope to see the Michigan delegation
cast its solid vote in the coming Chicago con-
yention for Hon. James G.. Blanc.

ECONOMY IN USING sUGAR.-Many housekeep-
ers waste very large amount OF sugar by
heating Il with acid fruits and other sour sub
stances. 1t is no unusual thing for cook to
place considerable sugar in sour fruits that are
being heated and to stir ii into the mass from
time to time as the cooking proceeds. ON
tasting some OF the substance being cooked it
seems sour. and more sugar is added. 1t IS
often the case that three times the amount OF
sugar is employed that is necessary to impart
the desired degree OF sweetness. The sweet
cane sugar when boiled with dilute acid be-
comes converted into grape sugar, which Is far
less sweet. Ii sugar is added to acid substances
after they are completely cooked, or what is
better still. after they have become cold, a
much smaller amount Is required, and the re-
suit is far more satisfactory. If applied at
that time II will remain cane sugar. \ smaller
amount CT sugar is required to properly sweeten
substances that are cold than those that are
hot. This may be noticed by adding sugar to
cream intended for freezing. Nearly twice as
much vii! be required to properly sweeten
cream that is hot than that which has com
menced to freeze. Coffee and tea are sweeten-
ed to the best advantage By dissolUng the
sugar used with the cream by stirring them to-
gether with spoon before the hot drink is
poured in the cup.
