Do Farmers Wisely Choose Occupa.
tiOns for Their SOns2

At a late meeting of the Syracuse On.
~ Farmers Club Mr.. Edwards said:
ga farmer has two sons; one has strong
physical development and a natural
taste for farming; to use the hoe and
follow the pillow day after day is both
congenial to his feelings and his health;
his mind rests in quiet satisfaction as he
looks u upon his fathers broad acres,
and views with manly pride the grow
ing focks and fattening herd, and esti-
mates in dollars and cents their value.
The other son lacks the physical strength
OF his brother, but has fine, sensitive
nerves, and a deep thirst for scientific
or legal knowledge. He goes to the
fields with his brother, with heavy tread
because it is his duty to 90, but his
thoughts are among the planets, irving
to calculate their distances from the
earth, and the influence they have upon
the seasons. Such a boy car never
make a successful farmer, no more than
the other a make q successful astron-
omer. Parents should at least be as
wise in looking after the fitness of their
boys for their chosen business, as thew
would in training their colts. But how
is it? A farmer goes out to ex-
anime his young horses: there is
fo~ur-year-old "Dick," large, strong,
close jointed, and mild-tempered, slow
and steady, a good horse for the team.
There is young Flora, smaller, long
jointed, with deer-like limbs, and hish
temper, can be made to trot in go,
worth $1,000. No farmer will ever
make the mistake, and put Dick in train
ing for the race-course and send Flora
to haul stone. Now, his boys are Just
as unlike as his colts and need as differ
ent training. The Judge naturally
wants his sons to become lawyers, too,
the minister, merchant, mechanic and
farmer too often insist that their boys
follow the inclination of the parent
rather than their own. 1t is q fact that
most of the failures result from not put
ting the right man in the right place.
Had Franklin always been kept ut the
tallow-chandier's trade, the lightning
might never have been subservient to
the will of man in transmitting our
thoughts from continent to continent in
q moment of time. Had Edison been !
put upon a farm, and kept there, his
whisperings would not now be heard

Sir Humphrey Days Courage.

A writer on Sir Humphrey Davy, in
| Temple Bar, tells the following stories
Of his courage: "The same moral and
physical courage which Dayy displayed
in his youth by deliberately taking out
his pocketknife and excising a part Ut
his leg which had been bitten by a mad
dog, and cauterIzing the wound with his
own hands, was exhibited in his chsmi-
cal investigations. His discovery that
nitrous gas. the vapor If aguatortis. -

experiments on his own life. He OBJ
tanned the gas in q state Of purity. and.
though very well aware of the danger
he ran IL the received theory Of its dead
ly powers was true, which he doubted,
he resolved to inhale IL in It's pure form

masely succeeded in breathing four
quarts Of the gas from and into a silk

Michael Sullivan, employed at South

wonderfully intelligent dog which is
called Mickey. The animal became
the property Of Sullivan when a puppy,
and he concluded to drown him. 1t
being q very warm day, he called at a
brewery for a glass of beer, and put the
pup on the counter while he quenched
his thirst. While he was talking Il the
proprietor he left the glass on the coun-
ter, partly filled with beer. Tie little
dog crawled up to it, and Tapped the
beer with the keenest relish until il was
all gone. Another glass vas disposed
of in the same Mike then
changed his mind about drowning the
pup, and has kept him until the present
time. Every day Mickey looks for his
schooner of beer with as much
expectancy as Mike does himself. II
the owner can not 60 for his favorite
beverage he places q dime in Mickey's
mouth, and the dog trots off to the
brewery, place, it on the counter and
waits patiently for the bartender to I'll
the glass.
As soon as the cars come in Mickey Is
always first to 60 through and look for
any thing that may have been left be-
hind by the passengers. If he discovers
any thing he stands at the door OF the
car and barks until his master comes 70
him. Once Mickey saw an article left
in enc of the hat-racks, and raj to his
master to call his attention to it. While
he Wa gone an idler standing in the
depot passed through the cars, and
noticing the package, stole it, but it
was afterward recovered; since that
time Mickey never leaves the n until
his master comes in. In cleaning out
the cars Mickey is always on hand TO

From an examination by G.. G..
Broadhead of the loess ut many places
along and adjacent to the Missouri and
Mississippi Rivers, it appears that the
eolian or wind drift theory will not &C.
count for its origin. Mr.. Broadhead has
been led to conclude that the loess must |
have been a sediment in the Quiet |
waters when the rivers were blocked ND
below with ice. When the barrier was
melted away a channel was worn through |
the silt, leaving the finely c%omminuted
clays on the neighboring hills as we now
find them.
