How Big IL Man!

Somehow when mans mind becomes
really cnlargcd--say, like that of Baron
humboldt, and he IS able to place in focus
more and more of the cosmos Of which lie
forms part, the things he ut the outset of
Ills Lille regarded as The largest get smaller
and smaller, till ut last that first immense
and overwhelmingly important thing, him
self, becomes so insignificant that it is only
| through process of mental microscopy he
can discern his little identity among the
annlalcul@ that float, swim, or wriggle
, across tho field of view. How big is a man
anyway? Well, he is smaller than an elc-
! plant, and an elephant is smaller than a
! mountain, and a mountain is smaller than
| the world, and the world is mustard sce.l
compared with hcsun, and the sun itself is a
mere mote in the dust cloud of spheres that
stretches out through the universe beyond the
reach of thought. Suppose wc could make
an exact model of the earth eighty feet in
diameter. Eighty feet in diameter would
be pretty large ball as balls go on the face
OF this planet Assume for the sake of
easy calculation, the diameter of the earth
! TO be exactly 6,GGG miles, and let lis pro-
cccd to build our model to scale. a noun
tain five miles high should represent OH o,lr
model $50, 000th of 80 feet or 6.10 Of an
inch. An elephant built in proportion
should be ii, Tooth of an inch in height,
and an average man 1852, S0Olh of al inch
tall. An army Of rs, 400 such men stand
ing shoulder to shoulder in single straight
rank would require their general to galIop
over the space of one inch to pass them nil
under review. With smart horse of pro-
portionatc size, ridden at brisk gallop, he
could accomplish this distance in about al
hour. Viewed in this way man is a mere
mite crawling over the face of the globe,
yet he has had the arrogance to think the
universe was formed for h IN more than for
other insects, and that the Ruling Intclli-
gencc had him pre- emincnty in view in
bringing order out of chaos.

Not to be Fooled.

a young man OF about twenty-thrco
years of age, with neither money nor the
prospect of getting any, came TO the con-
clusion that the best thing he could do
would be to marry erich wife" and live
Oh her money. Among his many acquaint-
anccs was widow lady Of about twice his
age, with three chill ren, but with a steady
income of two thousand year. Her he
resolved to marry, and, in order to Guilt
val, her friendship, he took her presents of
flowers and fruit, and gave the children
books and rides on his horses. The lady
kindly received his attentions, gave him
the liberty Of her house, and treated him
like younger brother in every respect.
The young fellow, interpreting her kind
ness to suit himself, and believing he had
nothing to do but ask her, ventnred one
evening on the subject in the following
manner:
81 wonder very mnch why you don't re-
marry, Mrs. L."
Simply because no one wants a widow
with three children"
81 know one who would be proud to
have You and your dear childrcn;" said the
wooer, feeling the worst was well over.
'1ndccd, you are most flattering this
evening"
"No, Lam not fiattering. I love you.
and would be proud to be your husband. "
She looked coldly on him; then replied;
"You mean you would be proud to own
my money, sir. have been vastly de-
ceivca in YOU" Then pointing to the door,
she contlnucd: Leave my house, and
while live, never dare to rcentcr it"

Seeing Through Water.

Currents in the very bed of river, or be
meath the surface of the sea, may be-
watched, as Mr.. Campbell informs u.s. by
an arrangement that smuggers used in tho
old days They sank their contraband car
go when there was an alarm, and they
searched for it again by means of so-callcd
marine telescope. 1t was nothing more
than casl<, with plate of strong glass Mt
the bottom. The man plunged the closed
end u few inches below the surface, and
put hls head into the other end, and then
he saw clearly into the water. Tho glare
and confused reflections and refractions
from and through the rippling surface of
the sea were entirely shut ont by this con-
trivance. Seal hunters still use it. With
this simple apparatus the stirring life of
the sea bottom can be watched at leisure
and with great distinctness. SO far as this
contrivance enables men to- see the land
under the waves, movements under water
closely resemble movements under air.
Seaweeds, like plant, bend before the gale;
fish, like birds, keep their heads to the
stream, and hang poised on their fins; mud
clouds take the shape of water clouds in
air, impede light, cast shadows and take
shapes which point out the direction in
which currents flow. 1t is strange, at first,
to hang over boats side, peering into a
new world, and the interest grows. There
Is excitement in watching big fish swoop
like hawks out of their scawccd forest after
white fly sunk to the trcc-tops to tempt
them; and the flight which follows is better
fun when plainly seen. Mr.. Campbell sug-
gests plate glass windows in the bottom of
boat; it would bring men and fish face to
face. and the h0hita Of the lottor |.o,,l1 bo

of the Apostles of Christ are now in the
following places: Seven are in Rome
namely, Peter, Philip, James the Lesser,
Jude, Bartholomew, Matthias and Simon.

thcw at Salerno, Andrew at Amalh, and
Thomas at Ortona. One is In Spain, James
the Greater, whose remains arc at st. Jago

gelists Mark and Luke are also in Italy
the formor at Venice and the latter at
Padua. St. Paul's remains arc also be-
lievcd to be in Italy. Peters are, of course
in the church at Rome, which Is called
after him, as are also those of Simon and
Jude. Those Of James the Lesser and of
Philip are in the Church of the Holy
Apostles; Bartholomew in the church on
the Island In the Tiber called after him.

VALUE OF WIVES.

Thc-yalue Of wives varies in DIFF
terent countries. In America they
are often expensive companions, but
IN the higher regions Of the river
Amar, and on the Ussurl in Siberia,
according to intormation% Furnished
to the British scientific association
by the Rev. Henry Lansdoll, the
price Of q wife is eight or ten dogs,
sledge, or two cases Of brandy.
In another part Of the world, accord
ing to evidence furnished to the
same association by Wilfred Powell,
in Now Britain and the neighboring
islands, on the east coast of Guinea,
the wives are the absolute property
of.their husbands, and are bought,
sold and eaten by their better halves.
There was one New Britain young
woman who rebeled at her matri-
monial relation, whoroupon her hus-
band said he could put her to better
use, and straightway killed and ate
her. Unfortunately, according to
the same authority, the eating in
New Britain is not confined to wives.
The natives are fond Of missionary
meat, and think the English are I'm
utterabIy stupid because they are
unwilling to feast on such delicacy
as the human thigh, prepared with
cocoanut milk and dressed with ba-
mana leaves. Mr.. Powell does not
advise women to emigrato to Now

LOVE THE CHILDREN,

Don't be afraid to show tho child
ron that you love them. The boy
OF girl will not easily grow wrong
whose arm IS twined around moth
er's neck, or whose head is well
coined to its cuddIing place upon
fathers shoulder. 1t is on the side
Of their affections that children are
most easily held and guided, and
the frmest rein is the invisible,
golden cord of love. 1t is good to
humor children in following their
natHral bent in all right and helpful
directions. Remember that educa-
iion is only the leading out Of pow
ers and faculties that are within.
Encourage; therefore, such inclina-
tions toward books, studies, mechan-
les, music, out-of-door pursuits and
healthful sports as shall help most
truly to develop your child. AS
education comes more and more to
include the development of natural
aptitude, it will be more and more
successful, 1t is good to humor your
children in preserving their individ-
uality and in fostering a true self
respect. Teach them, TOO, the value
OF money, and encourage them to
manage their own financial affairs,
This will give them important ex-
perienCc. Elk.

YOUNG HUSBANDS.

During the past season we have
had many marriages where the
groom was not Of age, and was earn

lars week. He had not capital
laid up when he entered the state

upon his mere bagatellc salary, never
dreaming Of drawbacks in the shape
Of sickness, etc. This is eminentiy
wrong. There should be a law re-
quiring a young man to state before
court his ability to take care OF and
support wife before he marrieS
her. The fact of the matter Is that
this business of more boys getting
married should be stopped. Many
aal many II time, after marriages
they have hard work to support their
family. They lose their situation,
