Why 1t Points NOrtherly.

A San Francisco gentleman lately wrote to
the superintendent of the United States
Coast Survey Professor c. T. Patterson,
asking the reason why the magnetic needle
points to the north. In reply Professor Pat
terson wrote as follows, and possibly many
more than the original inquirer may be glad
to read his simple statement of the facts of
the case The reason why the needle points
in the northerly direction is that the earth
in itself is a magnet, attracting the mag
netic needle as the ordinary magnets do
and the earth is a magnet as the results of
certain cosmlcal facts, much affected by the
action of the sun. These laws have period
icities, all of which have not as yet been
determined. The inherent and ultimate rea-
son of the existence of any fact in nature,
as gravity, light heat, etc., is not known
further than that it is in harmony with all
facts in nature; even an earthquake is in
perfect harmony with, and the direction re-
sultant of, the action of forces acting under
general laws. A condensed explanation in
regard to the needle pointing to the north
ward and southwark is as follows: The
magnetic poles of the earth do not coincide
with the geographical poles. The axis of
rotation makes an angle of about twenty
three degrees with line joining the former.
The northern magnetic pole is at present
near the Arctic circle on the meridian of
Omaha. Hence the needle does not every
where point to the astronomical north, and
is constantly variable within certain limits.
At San Francisco it points about seventeen
degrees to the east of north, and at Calais,
Maine, as much to the west. At the north
ern magnetic pole a balanced needle points
with its north end downward in plumb
line at San Francisco it dips about sixty
three degrees, and at the southern magnetic
pole the south end points directly down.
The action of the earth upon a magnetic
needle at its surface is of about the same
force as that of hard steel magnet, forty
inches long, one strongly magnetizad, at a
distance of one foot. The foregoing is the
accepted explanation of the fact that the
needle points to the northward and south
ward. OF course no ultimate reason can be
given for this natural fact any more than
any other observed fact in nature.

Errors In Marriage.

Many of the errors of life admit of rem.
edy. loss in one business may be repaired
by gain in another a miscalculation this
year may be retrieved by special care the
next bad partnership may be dissolved,
an injury repaired, wrong step retraced.
But an error in marriage goes to the very
root and foundation of life. 1t has been
said no man is utterly ruined until he has
married a worthless wife and so every
woman has future before her until she is
chained, in wedock which is paddock, to
wretched and unworthy man. The deed
once done cannot be recalled. The wine of
life is wasted and the goblet is broken, and
no tears or tolls can bring back the precious
draught. Let the young think of this, and
let them walk carefully in world of snares,
and take heed to their steps lest in the most
critical event of life they go fatally astray.
But here we must guard against another err
ror. Many people think they have made
mistake in marriage, when the mistake is
1nly in their own behavior since they were
married. Good husbands make good wives,
and good wives make good husbands and
the scolding or Incorporate or slatternly
partner often has but himself or herself to
blame for the misery that clouds the life
and desolates the home. Multitudes who
tetl ,lldJ lHtlI WAS u MISTAKE, anu
who make their existence lifelong misery,
might, by little self.denial, and forbear-
auce, and gentleness, and old-time courtesy,
make their home brighten like the gates of
Eden, and bring back again the old love
that blessed the happy golden days gone by.
Suppose the wife does not know quite as
much as you do well, you showed your
great judgment when you thought her the
chief among ten thousand Or, if your
husband is not the most wonderful man in
the world it simply illustrates the wit and
wisdom of the young woman who once
thought he was, and could not be convinced
of the contrary So, perhaps, you are not
so unevenly mated after all and if one has
had better opportunities since married, then
of course that one should teach and Guilt
vate and encourage the other, and so both
journey on together. But if one has grown
worse and sunk lower than at the beginning,
perhaps even then patience and toll and sun
shine may bring back the erring one to
duty, lift up the fallen, rescue the perishing,
and save the lost How glorious for wife
to pluck her husband from the jaws of ruin
and bring him safely to the heavenly home
how blessed for the husband to bring back
to the gates of paradise the woman who,
through weakness had been led astray!-

What a Wife Can Do.

The Westfield correspondent of the Spring
field Republican tells this story In illus
tration of what a man can accomplish in
spite of adverse circumstances and bodily
afiliction, with loving, willing wife to aid
him, is found in DR.. c. n. Germaine, for
years one of our most respected and success
full physicians. Three years since his eyes
began to fail, and gradually his sight weak
ened until about year ago it was entirely
lost. He had no means of livelihood aside
from his profession, so as his sight grew
dim his wife, who is a woman of broad cul-
ture and refinement, accompanied him on
his visits to patients to guide him. Grad
ually accustoming herself TO note the various
symptoms of the sick, and by earnest study,
she became fully competent that when her
husbands sight was fully gone to describe
all the outward symptoms of patients to
him, so that he has not been obliged to give
up practice, but can be found every day go
ing his regular rounds with his wife by his
side. His former patrons with but few ex-
ceptions continue him as their family ply
stefan, and his blindness has not affected his
skill and success in treating various forms
of disease, although, of course, it prevents
him from practicing surgery Every one
sympathizes with DIR. Germaine in his Attic
ton, and admires his courage and his noble
wife's devotion and energy"

The Yergennes Crane.

We have heard from only one party in re-
gard to this new Vermont Seeding, which
has probably not yet been before the public
long enough to have received general trial.
IF any of our readers have young vines that
fruit the present season, we hope they will
tell us what they think of its earliness and
quality. The only correspondent who has
replied to our inquiry is the party who is
propagating the variety in Connecticut, and
who sells the plants at from SO to So per
vine. We understand that he paid only
$i00 for the original plant to the producer,
Mr. William E. Greene of Vergennes This
being the case, he ought to sell the young
vines much cheaper than he does and we
believe he would make more money by do
ing so. Still, that is only question of
business policy. If the variety has the mer-
its claimed for it of earliness, hardness,
productiveness, fine flavor and keeping all
winter, it will soon work its way to favor,
even though the price is high. But not
many will want to try it until more thor
oughly tested by those who can afford to.

more people in Michigan who own the roof

AMAsA SooTr of Craftsbury is still ahead
on butter cows; his best COW has yielded
four hundred eight pounds butter since she
came in" eight months ago. For two
months she made two pounds day, the
next two months one pound and three quar-
ters, since which time she has made one
pound and half per day. This is COM
mon COW, with no fancy blood in her, as have
been all of Mr.. SCOTS great yielders. He
feeds almost exclusively on hay made from
grass cut before it heads out, and thinks
there are good many common COWS that
can be made to give pound of butter day
on that feed. Heb certainly demonstrated
that some can do good deal better than
that.

day at the close. She calved on the 18th
of June The butter from the first four
days (produced at one churning) was four

days gave ten pounds eleven ounces, or a
total of twenty-five pounds three ounces for
the week. The salt was added before
weighing, at the rate of eight ounces to ten

nearly four weeks after, and now, having

grass since April 2lst, made in one week
thirty-one pounds two ounces of butter
ready for market, using three quarters of an

THE BIGGEST STORY YET-vERMoNT
BEATS, AS USUAL.
Professor Alvord writes the Country Gen

MIA county COW. "For several years the
Messrs. Fairbanks of St. Johnsbury, have
owned and bred strain of Jersey cattle in
GLIDING numerous animals of great excel.
lence, although few of them have been reg
istered in published herd books Among
Others they bred Jersey Queen, dropped Jan.

Asa Hoyt of Peacham. Her first calf was
heifer, June 26, 1876, still living her sec

ter this calf, and while still owned by Mr..
Hoyt, that she first showed remarkable
butter capacity. March 10, 1870, she dropped
