OF affairs, asked her if she knew what

replied, "Of course 1 do; it is giving

A BOY arose one winter morn
And came to breakfast rather late,
Yet raised a fuss because there was
No nice pancake upon his plate.
His father took him DER his knee
Raised he his hand oft through the air,
And when the boy got loose from him
He hid his spankache in the chair.

JOHNNY has never learned anything
about figures. On Independence day
a circus came to town, and, after the
procession had passed the house where
Johnny lives, he had much to tell of
what he had seen to all his little
friends; but he told some very long and
large stories, ard one day he said that
he saw in the procession, marching side
by side, 1900 elephantsl "That's a
whopper," said Henry Nickle; Il don't
believe that" WELL" said Johnny,
IT saw a funny camel, anyway, and l
can believe that myself"
HE question arises: "Is there any
connection between the tiresome and
unvarying drudgery of the life of a
farmers wife and the meaningless jab-
Der N an insane asylum?" for it is well
known that farmers wives form no
small proportion of the unfortunates
found In insane asyIums. It is certain
II fair to presume that the question
should be answered in the affirmative,
for endless monotony will wear the fiber
of any mind, and cause alteration, or
else react on the body and create dis
ease, and such q result is all the more
likely if overwork be added to monot-
ony and drudgery.-Dr. Foote's Health
Monthly.
How TO EXTEMPoRIZE RADIsHEs.-
Radishes may be grown in a very few
days by the following method: Let
some good radish seed soak in water for
twenty-four hours, then put in bag and
expose it to the sun. III the course of
the day termination Will commence.
The seed must be sown in well-man-
ured hotbed, and watered from time to
time with lukewarm water. By this
treatment the radishes viii in very
short time acquire sufficient bulk and
be good to eat If it be required to get
good radishes in winter during the
severe cold, an old cask should be
sawn in two, and one-half of it filed
with good earth. The radish seed
beginning to shoot as before must be
then sown in, the other half of the bar
rel put on top Of the full one, and the
MnO1C VI bIlO apparatus CdL1ICNl OONA
into the cellar. For watering, lukewarm
water should be used as before. In the
course of five or six days the radishes
viii be fit to eat NelU England Far

JUPTTER.--Jupiter's diameter is about
eleven times that Of the earth, and his
mean density is about quarter that
of the earth, Or about third more than
water. Now, bulky body may be com
posed of heavy materials, and still, as q
whole, be light, like an iron ship or
lump Of pumice stone, that will float in
water. The pumice lump is light on
account Of It's vascular formation, so
that the mass consists of heavy fels-
pathic material and the air it contains.
Extract the air, and the pumice loses
its floating power, though still far from
heavy III proportion to its bulk. Most
of the earth's crust is formed of solids
much heavier than water. GRANTEES are
more than two and half times heavier
than water, slaty rocks about the
same, and so are ordinary imestones,
the variations of all being from about
2.5 to 90. The ironstone group con-
tains denser min erals; red hematite has
q specific gravity of As; magnetic iron
stone, As to 80, ETC., and many other
ores are heavy. At some remote peri
cd, when only part of the now-soid
earth had been condensed from gaseous
and vapory matter, our planet might
have had a mean density like that of
Jupiter, as its rocky materials contain
between 40 and 80 per cent. of oxygen ;
and, while condensations and chemical
combinations were going on rapidly,
our globe must have been the scene of
Thunders, Hghtnings, and prodigious storms.
And it is probable that certain stars
which have suddenly blazed forth with
passing splendor have exhibited to us
the spectacle of confagrations extend
ING over millions and billions of square
miles. Color-changes in Jupiter-such
as those noticed by Mr.. Browning and
The writer in 9-'7O-may have been
caused by soda thames, though not
fierce enough or extensive enough to
add materially to his ordinary lumin-
osity, which is estimated as always ex-
ceeding, though not in very high de-
gree, what it would be by mere refec-
ton of light received from the SUM-
BelgrGUiG.
