dom less than double the price. Yet
the English farmers prefer raising arti-
fetal grasses to raising wheat. Again,
the rent as well as price Of land is con-
stantly highest in those countries where
the cultivation of the artificial grasses is
pushed furthest. In England, the rent
Of fine artificial meadows sometimes ex-
tends to twenty dollars an acre, rarely
diminishes to ten dollars, and is never
SO low as the adjoining arabic land,
however good. It must be our best
lands which would rent at one dollar an
acre for term of twenty-one years; and
even at this low rent both the land and
the tenant are generally ruined. Now
when we see the best grazing lands
there renting higher than the best ara
BILE lands, and their farms renting high
er than ours, does it not follow that both
a great profit and vast improvement
of the soil must arise from the culture
of artificial grasses, and that the differ
ence in the rent between their farms and
ours is in great measure produced by
the latter circumstance? This conclu-
sion is warranted by the fact that the
longer the term of the lease is the high
er is the rent there, and lower here, be-
cause the tenant in one case calculates
on mode of tillage which will improve
the land, and in the other on its becom-
ing poorer ...-... ~.
We see the same condition of things
in the United States. Wherever the
most attention to the preparation and
cultivation of grass crops, rents, profits
and prices of lands are the highest. In
deed it must be so since the profits of
farming consist of the joint product of
land and labor, and the greater the pro-
portion of the labor to the total product,
the higher the rate of profit must be to
make the business pay.-Cincinnati

A Word to Young Men.

How OFTEN the same old story is re-
peated, the story that we heard in our
childhood, and that every day we see
enacted before US, with new figures and
under new circumstances, it may be,
but always with the same results. A
young man, we'll born and carefully
nurtured, enters upon life with every
promise of bright career. Good in
fluences surround him and help him on
his way; his genial nature wins many
friends, and young and old speak well
OF him, and rejoice in his success. He
advances, step by step, to public posi-
tions of trust and honor. and he seems
favolite of fortune, But success has
brought its temptations, while it has
not taught the sense of responsibility,
The friends that cluster around the
prosperous man make demand upon
good-fellowship that cannot be disre-
garded. Public Office, moreover, must
be paid for by work for the party,
which implies personal associations
from which a well-bred man should
shrink. Little by little the time
spent in bar-rooms and club-rooms en-
croaches upon the hours of labor or of
rest. Wine and cards gain predomi-
nant place in the mans life, and the
useful citizen by day becomes by night
the companion of rowdies and black
legs. Then comes the end-in crime
and disgrace, it may be, or in violence
the midnight brawl, the assassin's
bludgeon, a narrow cot in the hospital,
anarrow grave. The life that was SO full
of promise is cut short; the career be-
gun in sunshine ends in clouds and dark
ness.
Over and over again have we all
heard this story and seen it enacted.
Over and over again have we read it's OBJ
vious moral. And still the world goes
on as before, and countless young men
are dragged to ruin every day, or give
themselves to the devil, though the
road to ruin is marked on every finger
post before their eyes. Still, those
whose duty it is to describe each days
events in truthful terms may not be 81
lent, nor without their warning and ad-
vice, because the unlearned lesson has
been so often told. Every man thinks
it does not apply to him. Others may
have fallen, but he is not like them, he
can resist temptation and pass through
evil scenes unframed. just so those
countless others thought who have per-
ished and left nothing behind but the
warning of their fall. Who are we
that should boast ourselves stronger
than other men, if we have not the
strength that comes only through right
living? No, the lesson is for all of US.
AS surely as the miasma of the swamps
breeds physical disease, does evil living
lead to sorrow and disgrace, and how
ever fair face man may present to
the world, however warmly his friends
esteem him and his fellow-citizens wish
well for him-sooner or later his sin
will find him out, and the evil that he
has taken to himself will bear down self
respect and manly pride, honor and rep
utation, and life itself: for the wages of
sin most surely must be paid.-Raila-

Solar Heat and Light.

IN 3 communication TO the Bunalo
Sunday Courier on :. Light and Heat =
DR.. Henry Raymond Rogers says that
science at the present time admits Of
four different explanations of the pro.
duction of sunlight and sun-heat, viz:
Q) Combustion Of cosmical substances
falling into the sun; (2) arrest of mo-
ton of such cosmical substances; (3)
contraction of the solar mass; az dis
ISOLATION of compound bodies in suns
substance. He holds that the first n.y.
pothesis, that of +" combustion /" is viz
tually given up by scientists on account
of its insuperable difficulties. The fuel
problem is too intricate for the finite
mind. The second, the so-called me-
chanical hypothesis, is held in greatest
favor by scientists to-day, as best ac-
counting for the phenomena, or as being
least vulnerable to objections. This by
pothesis presupposes the presence In
space of an incalculable supply of pom
derous masses all rowing loosely and by
chance until, falling under the influence
of the sun, they are drawn thereto with
such momentum that the conclusion
gives rise to inconceivable light and heat.
But DR.. Rogers believes that such ex-
istence of ponderable matter, away from
the influences of gravity, moving about
In the universe, and assumed to follow
the attraction of the nearest stellar svs-
TEN, can hardly be credited by philo.
sophie minds. The supposition that old.
useless worlds, comets, meteors, etc.,
are attracted to the sun to be utilized
for the production of its light and heat
is contrary to every principle of reason
and sound philosophy. The inevitable
enlargement of the SUMS dimensions,
which would occur from the accretions
resulting from this method, would also
prove fatal to this hypothesis. An exact
knowledge of the sun for centuries has
not in the slightest degree disclosed a
change of radius in the earth's orbit
necessary consequence of any change
in the SUMS bulk. The third hypothe-
sis, "the contraction of the solar mass"
Implying q progressive dimunition OF
that body, finds the same objections
which lie against its progressive aug
mentation. The fourth, 'sthe dissocia-
ton of. compound bodies in the SUMS
substance depends upon the process
of combustion, and is, therefore, open
to the objection already mentioned,
Each of the foregoing hypothesis stands
in direct opposition to the memorable
law of conservation of force. Accord
ing to the decree of that law, whatever
is received by the earth from the sun,
an equivalent for the same must again
be returned from the earth to the sun to
the uttermost fraction. No hypothesis
based on any other foundation can
stand: DR.. Rogers theory of the cause
of solar light is a magnetic one. He
believes that the sun and earth are gi-
gantic fountains of magnetic influence,
| continually acting and reacting upon
each other, and that this view gives to
the phenomena Of light and heat, their
clearest and fullest Interpretations.

awkwardness, stupidity and general in

for all the rest; and no matter where
discipline may begin, it commonly ends
with general set-to on her. But the
only result of such treatment is that
she becomes more shy and awkward

reserved, defiant, and, indeed, regardless.
Nothing is more injurious than constant
fault finding, and many young people

Can a Diamond bo srokenP

In cutting, or rather rubbing the diamond
into shape and in polishing tho cut stone.
no abradlng agent can be used cxcept the
diamond itsolf. 1t is this supreme hard
ness that gives much of the valuo to tho
diamond; for tho roughcst wear scarcely
destroys tho sharpness of the cut edges or
deadsns its polish. The exceptional hard
ness OF tho diamond is well known. and
gives point to the expression "diamond cut
oiamond;' but the popular notion ofteno
credits this gem with an indomitable nature
which 1t can scarcely claim, Among tho
many cxtravagant things which Pliny tells

saoh oxcosslvo hardness that whom struck
upon an iron anvil tho hammer and anvil
arc torn asundcr. Yet he cooly asscrts
that such stones can be subducd by dipcs-
tion IN goats blood, provided that tho cur
1ous solvent be fresh and warm. Without
going to this height Of extravaganza many
believe, nowadays, that a true diamond viii
resist the blow Of hammer. This popular
error arises from confounding hardness with
toughness--two physical properties which
are entirely distinct. A piece of pntta
perclia, for example, is 80 tough that It is
torn asunder with difficulty, yet go soft that
IT may be lndented with the flnper-nail
On the other hand the diamond is 80 hard

Gen. Crooks Escape.

Gen. Crooks escape from an ignoble
death OH the parties was narrow one.
With two friends ha was goose hunting
In the Platte Valley. The party were
two miles from the FARMHOUSE where
they made their headquarters. when a
"bliZzard" or binding snow storm sud-
denly came up. General Crook shot a
goose, and in attempting to get it lost
his hat. In following it he dropped
through al ice-hole. The water for
tunatcly was not deep, but it thorough
ly chilled him. He recovered his hat
and remarked that he was cold and
numb, and would return to the house.
few minutes afterwards his friends
also started, shaping their steps by
the rivers COURSE. One remarked
that he felt uneasy about Crook, who.
he feared might have missed his way.
The other rejected the idea, but during
slight cessation Of the storm the first
sportsman insisted that he could sec
the figure OF a man behind them. A
loud shout was sent up and repeated
again and again. Finally Crooks fig
ure was recognized as he came stag
gering up, and it was discovered that
he was well-nigh chilled to death. His
ears and feet were frozen, his neck was
covered with ice, and he was unable to
speak aleud. His comrades helped him
to the heuse, and for two or three days
he was unable to proceed further. his
friends remaining with him. Flo had
becsao confused, and travelling in 5cir-
cles had fallen into the river a second
time, when he discovered his salstaks,
and rapidly retrAced his steps, and
none too soon to save his life. Crook
had always pridea himself on being
able to endure severe storms without
any protection bat an overceat, and in
many Winter campaigns he has set men
rare examples Of endurance. But for
his friends, however, he would have
tasted his physical powers once to often.
