The Size Of Molecules.

With regard to the absolute diameter
of a molecule and their number in a
given space, everything at present is
only probable conjecture. Still it may be
interesting to state the views which are
held on these questions by such investi-
gators as Sir William Thompson and
the late Prof. Clerk-Maxwell; but we
give these without attempting to in
dicate the character of the speculations
on which their conclusions rest. Sum-
ming up then both the known and the
unknown, we may state that the
molecular weights and velocities
of many substances are accurately
known. II is also conjectured that
collisions take place among the mole
cules of hydrogen at the rate of seven
teen -million-million per second;
and in oxygen they are less than half
that number. The diameter of the
hydrogen molecule may be such that
two million of them in a row would
measured a millimetre. Lastly, it is
conjectured that a million million
million-million hydrogen molecules
would weigh about. four grammes;
while nineteen million-million-m million
would be contained in a cubic GEN.
timetre. Figures like these convey no
meaning to the mind, and they are in
troduced here only to show the
character and present state of the re-

/. superfuous Branches"

To pretty young girl Sydney Smith
once said: "Do you ever reflect how
you pass your lifea IL you live to be
seventy-two, which 1 hope you may,
your life is spent in the following
manner: An hour a day is three years;
this makes twenty-seven years sleeping,
nine years dressing, nine years attable,
six years playing with children, nine
years walking, drawing, and visiting,
six years shopping and three years
quarreling." The terms of this enum-
Grafton would doubtless be changed for
most of us, and candor must admit that
we are sometimes less well employed.
But at the best it is appalling to think
how much of life must be spent in mere
ly perfunctory employments, which do
not enhance its value or our pleasure
in il.
Knowing, then, what an immense
subtraction must be made from the ap-
parent sum of existence, it would seem
the choice of reasonable mortals, anx-
ious to make the most of the remainder,
to cut down all extravagant and super
fious demands upon it on the part of the
nearer qualities. Conscience, one
would say, should lock the door on

1t is a solemn fact that nine-tenthS OF
those people who spent three years in
putting up such household notices as
"a God Bless Our Home," Feed My
Sheep" BLESS My Lambs" and SO on
down to "Forget Me Not" have spent
the last two in taking them down and
looking for something new. There is
a demand for something different, and
genius should arouse herself and get
down to business. "God Bless Our
Home" was all right until the frame
was smashed in family fight, or until
it was discovered that blessings wouldn't t
come without hard work and lots OF
planning. Feed my Sheep" does

pend upon the Director of the Poor, but

provisions cost. We have got to feed

old man goes fishing, the mother darns

more appropriate for such family, and
perhaps save considerable expense and
trouble. "In the Sweet By-and-by"

chance for disappointment. Better re-

DIR. Pierce's Advice.

The late venerable and eloquent DR..
Lovick Pierce, who never missed a
chance, during a ministry of seventy
five years, to do the negroes good, was
preaching once on Christian Progress
at a camp-meeting. 1t was his manner
to make astonishing climaxes now and
then. On this occasion he laid down
the law of life and death in Christian
experience: Brethren, you must grow
or die. Progress you must make. II
you can fly, fly; if you can't fly, run; If
you can't run, walk; if you can't walk.

His voice was rising to its full trum-
pet tones, and his eve flashing as few
eyes ever flashed. His right hand was
still high advanced. The congregation
trembled for him. What could he say
more? But he was the master of such
a crisis. He wound up the sentence
with an explosion like thunder: "H

A Spring Opening.

The bluebird arrives but a little later
than the robin, if, indeed, he does not
come by the same train. All, the blue
birds warble! II any bird is special
ly commissioned by Heaven to spread
the spring evangel, it is he. Yet, like
the Ariel spirit that he is, there is, at
first, q touch of ventriloquism in his
voice. To fix his whereabouts, we look
not only ''before and AFTER but over
head, and in the bushes, and along the
grass, and see him not-at first. II
he "bears the sky on his back, as Tho
reau thought, it must be the sky of It
ally; the heavens are never so blue
over this region of the earth. There
is red enough on his breast to have dis

not been for the more pronounced azure
of his wings.

long since / was present at a musical
duel-not between the poet and night

both distinguished professionals. They
were exchanging "alternate strains, "
after the style of Tityrus and Melibeus.
Tityrus was close by. on the low branch
of willow; Melibeus at some distance
in a wild cherry-tree- The former
could both see and hear to good advan-
tage. When he had sung through his
part he stopped, and, with head cum
ningly askance, listened to his rivals
performance; paying the most Jealous
attention, and, meanwhile, revolving
some new felicity of his--own. Each
time he slightly varied the cadence,
winding up with a piquant little
| crotchet, as who should say, "Can you
outdo that, wonderP" The duel grew
more animated with every bout. until
the performers, forgetting the etiquette
of competition, sung the "rests," inef.
fectually trying to put each other out.
