Ignorance of Astronomy.

We have been repeatedly struck, says Ma
ture, by the comparative Qt might have been
said more than Comparatively ignorance
which prevails, even among educated people,
as to the nomenclature and position of the
stars. There are many who would be
grieyously scandalized at the idea of not
being able to call trees or flowers by their
right names, but who seem very little con-
cerned by having to admit a similar incom-
petency as TO the beautiful luminaries of the
skies. They would be indignant at the sup
position that they did not know an oak from
an ash, or could possibly mistake a cowslip
for primrose but they have no hesitation
to confess that they do not know the differ
ence between the two dogs that have been
for so many ages keeping guard in the
heavens and il possibly the pre-eminent
brillancy of Sirius, or the magnificent con-
figuration of Orion, may have awakened
enough of curiosity TO ascertain what they
are called, they would still be at an utter loss
to discriminate between Capella and Arc
turus, or TO say in what constellation or at
what time they are to look for the Pleiades,
whose existence they can hardly ignore. 1t
is not easy TO account for such degree OF
uninstructed heedlessness. One reason pos
siby may be that the knowledge of natural
objects which makes its way by such gentle
and imperceptible approaches into the minds
of intelligent children is acquired by day
rather than by night, and that their rambles
with parents and nurses in sunshine hours
fsmiliarze them insensibly with many
things of which they would remain ignorant
il they were visible only during their hours
of rest. But however we may try to ex-
plain it, 80 it is, that what was termed in a
previous generation the " diffusion of useful
knowledge" seems not TO have included a
popular acquaintance with the sky, and that
The maps which were published under that
title and TO promote that object have been
much more servioeable to the express stu
dent of astronomy than TO educate society in
| general. Whether such state of ignorance

Sorghum Sugar.

We cut the following from the Providence
Or. I.) Press: "The Press referred, few
days ago, to the report recently made by the
special committee of the National Academy
Sciences endorsing the work which DIR.
Peter Collier, Of the department of agricul-
ture, has done during the last four or five
years in demonstrating the possibility of
producing sugar from sorghum in such
quantities and at such cost as to make it
only question of time when this must be-
come one of the most important industries
of the country. The weight of authority
which any action of the National Academy
of Sciences carries with it, and the fact that
its committee on sorghum sugar was COM
posed in part of three ex-presidents of the
American Chemical Society should, it seems
to us, not only set at rest all doubts as to
the value of DIR. Golfers work, but should
ensure liberal appropriations for the coutin-
uation of experiments and the encourage
ment of the cultivation of sorghum. 1t is
with surprise, therefore, that we learn of
the apparent indifference of Dr. Loring, the
commissioner of agriculture, to the import
ance of this subject, an indifference which
has prevented that wide publication of the
report of the Academy's committee which
it deserves, and which does not bring to
bear upon congress that legitimate pressure
for an appropriation to continue the invest
igation which we had expected. The season
is far advanced, and the work of this year
must be begun at once or it cannot be done
at all. Whatever we may think of Dr. Lor
ing, we cannot believe that the fact that his
predecessors name is inseparably connected
with this sorghum sugar investigation, and
that its success will reflect honor upon Gen
eral LIE Dues administration, is the cause
of his indifference"

AnecdOte of a Great Naturalist.

A good story is told of Agassiz, the great
naturalist. His father destined him for a
commercial life and was impatient at his
devotion to frogs, snakes and fishes. The
last, especially, were objects Of the boys
attention. His vacations he spent in max
ing journeys on foot through Europe, ex-
amining the different species of fresh-water
fishes. He came to London with letters OF
introduction to Sir Robert Murchison. You
have been studying nature" said the great
man, bluntly. "What have you learned 2"
The lad was timid, not sure at that moment
that he had learned anything. al think"
he said, at last, al know a little about
fishes" "Very well. There will be meet
ing of the Royal Society tonight. I will
take you with me there" All of the great
scientific savants of England belonged to
this society. That evening" towards its
close Sir Roderick rose and said; 81 have a
young friend here from Switzerland who
thinks he knows something about fishes /;
how much, have fancy to try. There is,
under this cloth, perfect skeleton of fish
which existed long before man." He then
gave the precise locality in which it had
been found, with one or two other facts
concerning it. The species to which the
specimen belonged was, of course, extinct.
Can you sketch for me on the blackboard
your idea of this fish 2" said Sir Roderick.
Agassiz took up the chalk, hesitated a mo-
ment, and then sketched rapidly skeleton
fish. Sir Roderick held up the specimen.
The portrait was correct in every bone and
line. The grave old doctors burst into loud
applause. Sir" Agassiz said, on telling the
story, "that was the proudest moment of
my life-no, the happiest, for | knew, now,
my father would consent that should give
my life to science"

body with nutriment. The mill keeps at
work as long as there is anything in it to
grind. An ordinary heavy meal requires
four or five hours for being dissolved, and
sent out to the system in weak stomachs
more time is needed. Then the stomach
wants quiet and rest of at least an hour or
two to recuperate itself, during which the
other parts of the body and the mind may
be active. As rule not less than six hours
should intervene between meals. A lunch
of any kind even milk itself, IL put into the
stomach before it has disposed Of the pre-
vious meal, and rested, is harmful. Lunches
between meals, nibbling at cake, candy,
fruit, at anything that must be digested,
keeps the stomach at work, and robs II Of
rest absolutely needed. Even beer and
sugared drinks have to be digested. The
feeling of faintness or "goneness expe.
rienced in the hay or harvest field usually
comes from the disturbance of a hearty
breakfast or dinner that by reason of hard
work and depressing heat is still undigested.
The lunch quiets it, but partially units the
stomach for attacking the next meal the
best way is to do without the lunch stop
work when too weary to go further, and rest
at least fifteen or twenty minutes before
taking food; then rest little more, and
gradually push on to ones full measure Of
strength. Attention to these matters will
wonderfully increase the amount of work,
mental and physical, which one can accom-
plish during a year, or series of years.

One OF the best carpenters in New York,
who owns his shop and does large business,
said II is scarcely an exaggeration to say
that the race of good workmen is dying out,
and that were it not for the immigration Of
foreign workmen we should be at loss for
men to do even the commonest jobs. The
best foreign workmen do not come here at
all, finding enough to do at home, so that
those we do find are not such workmen as we
had twenty years ago but at least they are
better than the men who have failed 10
learn trade here. The newspapers say
that men do not know their trades nowadays
because there is no such thing as apprentice
ship, and the reason we have no apprentices
is that the trades-unions will not allow more
than one or two apprentices in each shop for
fear of too much competition in the future.
There was an attempt some years ago to re-
strict the number Of apprentices, and be-
lieve that in Chicago the boss masons are al
lowed but two apprentices whether they en-
ploy five men or fifty. But all such rules
are useless here because II is not in the shop
owners interest to have any apprentices at
all. There is no such thing as legal ap-
premiership bond between a boy more than
sixteen years of age and an employer; con-
sequently boy who Is taught someJniug
useful in shop will leave when he can get
half dollar more week in some other
place. A boy will not stay in a shop for
more than year without pay we have to
pay them for allowing themselves to be
taught a trade. AS boys are usually not
worth their salt in carpenters shop, we do
without them. / have not had boy for
years and will not have until the law frames
an apprenticeship indenture which will en-.
ing apprentices. The consequence is that
boys pick up trade in superficial way In
it is somewhat different because every
plumber has helper who, beginning as a
boy, soon learns the trade if he is bright"

Some Facts abOut Cutting Hay.

Professor w. II. Jordan of Pennsylvania
agricultural college gives in the American
Agrieuluria for June, series of expert
ments bearing upon the best time for cut
ting hay. We extract the following Now
there are two statements that can be made
with all assurance of their correctness :-O
No part of any food that is not digested is
of any nutritive value. (2) Hay from early
cut grass is more digestible than hay from
late cut grass. AS substantiating the latter
statement l give the results of an expert
ment with sheep, using hay from grass cut
at three periods of growth. Out of one
hundred parts of the various ingredients
fed, the table shows the number of parts
digested.

When stonewaIl Jackson was Frightened.


al recollect asking 'Stonewall,' says Gov
ernor jackson of West Virginia, who was
my cousin, if he had ever been frightened
in war. He said, yes once he had been
considerably under sense Of fear. 1t was
in the city Of Mexico. A chest containing
a large sum of money had been put in Lieu
tenant Jackson's charge, and to be perfectly
secure of it he ordered it carried to his head
quarters, in an old abbey or convent, and
laid down there alone in the room with it to
sleep, a sentinel walking the corridor out
side He had been there in bed only few
minutes, and was getting drowsy, when he
distinctly heard something under his bed,
which lifted up as if man was secreted
there. jackson said he leaped out of bed
and drew his sword and examined the bed
and the room in vain. jackson then sup
posed he had been possibly dreaming and
resumed his bed. just as he was thinking
it was all mistake his bed lifted again,
plainly and with some force. He started
forth second time, sword in hand, and be-
hold nothing was there. This time said
he, : / was scared, indeed, till my attention
was called to a shouting outside in the
street, and then found that ii was an earth
quake passing under the city of Mexico
that had lifted my bed up and given me
such apprehension.'

Boys out Nights.

The boy who spends an hour of each
evening lounging idly on street corners
wastes in the course OF the year three hun.
dred and sixty-fve precious hours, which, If
applied to study, would familiarize him with
the rudiments of the familiar sciences. II,
in addition TO wasting an hour each evening"
he spends ten cents for cigars, which is u.s.
ually the case, the amount thus worse than
wasted would pay for ten of the leading per-
iodicals in the country. Boys, think of these
things. Think of how much time and money
you are wasting and for what The graft
fcation afforded by lounge on the corner
or cigar is not only temporary but posi-
lively hurtful. You cannot indulge in them
without seriously injuring yourself. You
acquire idle and wasteful habits, which will
cling TO you with each succeeding year.
You may in after life shake them of, but
the probabilities are that the habits thus
formed in early life will remain with you
till your dying day. Be warned, then, in
time, and resolve that as the hour spent in
idleness is gone forever, you will improve
each passing one, and thereby fit yourself
for usefulness and happiness.-Ihe Youh's
Evangelist.

An ENQUIRY.

c. j. S. "would like to enquire how often
strong loan would have to be seeded to
grass and how heavily manured to produce
the forage that will winter two COWS to the
acre, and if it can be done without the silo.'
Four tons of hay have been produced to the
acre on good land by skillful farmers in a
good season, but it has never been averaged,
even Oh small areas, to our knowledge. En-
sliced corn will do it and probably little
more, on the average. Where land is cheap
hay can be raised at as little cost as like
value of ensilage. But ensilage is better
feed for dairy COWS, according to all reports
than any but the very best very early cut
hay, like that used by MIR. Amasa Scott Of
Craftsbury, Vermont, who can winter two
COWS to the acre on his hay.
