The Education of GnIs.

The first mistake ln tho education of girls, and one fraught with the saddest results, is made when they are allowed to leave childhood too soon. To keep them little girls as long as possible, and make them, first of all, what George Macdonald calls "blessed little ani- mals, is the first step in the right di- rection. The second mistake Is permit ting growing girls to sit in the house and study when their transparent cheeks tell of anaenia and lowered vitality: The third mistake is making the school life of girls final, when it ought to be Q simple preparation for the intellectual life of the adult woman. 4 fourth mis- take is withholding knowledge:.of the avs to which woman is subject In her mental and her physical life, her place in nature and the potential character of ter mental status and habits.

CatS.

Your books say that cats are "noc- turnal in their habits," and this state- ment will not hurt you, for 1t is true. It means that cats wish to take their recre- ation when people wish to sleep. This difference of taste accounts for the guer- rilla warfare which Is waged against them night after night and year after year from all the back windows in town. It also accounts for the curious things which you sometimes find in the back yard in the morning and which the cook tells you are meteorites. Nothing has been devised that kills cats, and weap- ons are limited to such hand projectiles as inspire respect or terror. The old stone throwing machines of the Greeks and Romans were originally devised for this kind of combat, and were hence called catapults. Every adult cat has had more costly articles thrown at 1t than any opera singer that ever lived ; for, when mans state of mind becomes such that he gets out of bed to serve his country in this cause, the first article he touches is the thing that goes, whether it be coal scuttle, an iyory-backed hair-brush or a diamond bracelet. Man has the right of thls conflict, and he will surely win if he lives long enough EIchd7lge.

A Deprayed Mouse.

A man in Eureka, Nev., has curiosi- ty at his store in the shape of whisky tippling mouse, that comes up as regu- ar for his liquor as the most veritahe i'd toddy tipper in town. It appears
 hat his morlseship has acquired & 'aste for the ardent by tapping up the
 tray drops that fall from the faucets of he long TOW Of barrels in the store. nd, like a real human, has been led nto the whirlpool of an overweening in iuigence by the practice of occasional
 'nipping" When under the influence
 he little long g-tailed toper cuts up the nest curious antics. He rolls around n the floor ill a perfect spirit of drunken ,eclglessDess, stands on his head and plays regular thigh inks among the barrels and bottles. As with mankind, whisky seems to make him sociable. and when on one of his jamborees he cuts arorlnd through the store and office with out the least apparent fear, and is as familiar and friendly with the boys as can be, even running up their legs and allowing them to handle him.

-------- --------=- The Gain of Sunday Rest.

Of course I do not mean that man will not produce more ill 8 week by work ing seven days than by working sixfdays. But I very much doubt whether, Ut the end of the year, he will generally pro duce more by working seven days in 6 week than by working six days in week. The natural difference between Cam pania and Spitzbergen IS trifing when compared with the difference between a country inhabited by men full of bodily and mental vigor and country inhab tied by men sunk ill bodily and mental decrepitude. Therefore it is that we are not poorer, but richer, because we have through many ages rested from our labors one day in seven. The day is not lost. While industry IS suspended, while the blow lies in the f1rrow, while the exchange is silent. while no smoke as cends from the factory, a process IS going on quite as important to the wealth of the nation as is the work which is per formed on more busy days. Man-the machine of machines-the machine com pared with which all the contrivanc,Ss Of the Watts and Arkwrights are worthless is repairing and winding up, so that he returns to his labors on Monday with clearer intellect and Gvelier spirits, with renewed corporeal vigor.-Lord MGcau- LrM

Since the decline of the art of self le- fense in England it has been replaced by

What tke kneients Thought of the
 Moon,

Nor is 1t to be maryeled at, when we consider that this planet was te most brilliant and ehangeable, as well as the nearest and apparently largest celestial body that presented itself to their night ly view, and that in the clear. exquisite ether of Arabian skies. and the calm nights of India and Egypt, 1t shone among the heavenly host with iustar unknown to d@ellers in the crowded cit ies of northern cline.
 But the children of these tropic lands did something more than gaze, speculate and admire. With supreme patience they reared lofty towers and grand pyra- mids, and invented instruments which have led us step by step to the transit instrument, the micrope5er and the tsi- escope of to-day. A college of astroao- my was founded by the priesthood of Egypt, the worship of the moon growing out of their frequent use of her pictured or carved image in making their meteor ological announcements to the people as, for instance when tie Nile was ab,.It to overflow, warning heralds were sens through the streets bearing aioft tn 3 fa- miliar symbols of the e-river goddess snds a gilded figure of the moon ia the pbsse
  pected rising.
 In the course of time, the sigr.ilics- ton was forgotten, the symbol wss sented deifed. The moon no longer ap- peared to the unlettered popuisce as merely Q brilliant lamp suspended from a revolving dome, and shining until ex- tinguished by the waters of the ocean, but now was locked upon with awo as region of sublime mysteries.
 This veneTation of the moon gradually spread with population to ali parts of the world. We have records Of ancient Chinese ceremoniais, relics found among Drui6ical remains in Western Europe accounts of astronomical pictpEe-wr.t- ings of religious character, aud lunar calendars of gold, silver and stone, dis covered in ancient temple-ruiEs n Mexi- co, Central and South America.
 Among the buildings devoted to lunar worship may be mentioned the wonder ful Temple of Diana, at Ephesus, built at the combined expense of tLe nations of Asia, and the magnificent mansion of the moon, adjoining the Temple of the Sun, in ancient Cuzeo thIs building was in form 8 pyramidal pavilion, with doors and inclosures completely incrust- ed with glittering silver. Within, ou the southern waii, was 9 painting in white, presenting the moon as beauti- ful woman; on either side, along the eastern and western walls, on massive thrones of silver, were seated the dead Queens of Peru, embalmed and arrayed in regal splendor.-Popular Science Monthly.

It is claimed that the fastest horses in the world have been bred in the neigh borhood of Lexington, Ky. Among the more notable are Maud Stone, better known as Maud g., record, e:103; Wedgewood, 2:l9; Woodford Man. brino, 2:24: Trinket, 2:193: Dick Moore, 2:32; John Morgan, 2:24; h. dianapolis, 2:21. and Voltaire, 2:21.
 The number of superior carriage, sa5- dle and trotting horses sent out from this part of Kentucky is very great. A prominent breeder was asked the secret of their superiority. He replied: "There Is g combination of causes. The great majority of horses here have some good blood in them, and you will find 1t crossed somewhere back in their pedigTees. The best strains of running and trotting blood have bsen taken from here to other States, and they there fail to produce the desired results. There is something in the blue grass, the water, the atmosphere, and the general climatic influence, and much in judi cious breeding and training. We force our horses 10 gait when they are l year old, and at 5 years old they arc pretty well developed: The Northern saen, however, always improve them" "How long have Kentucky horses held their high place?' was asked. Tho breeder replied: ''No one hereabout can tell. l know men who have lived here eighty-fve years, and they state that, from tleir earliest childhood, they have heard of the superiority of ollr horses. Their fathers before them had the same story to tell. The fact is that somewhere in the past there was brought into this State 8 pure strain of thorough blood, derived from the best stock of the mother world, and it has transmitted it's qualities from sire to sor to the present time. It is la1nentable fact that we have not the exact data upon which to base 6 history of the Kentucky horse"

Ese of Oninm in America.

It Is estimated that the number of opiIm consumers in this country has doubled in the last four years, and that they now use 5,OO0,0OO grains year. The import of opium last year was 140 per cent. in excess of that Tn 1876, and that year the import was 70 per cent. greater than in 1867. Physicians, drug gists and traders all report that the use of opium is largely on the increase, par ticularly among women, who supply four-fifths of the victims of opium. This increase is not due to @ disuse of alec, holic intoxicants, but is largely attribEt- ed to the growing use of the hypodermic sYringe.

A WORD TO VOTERS.

We called the attention of our read
ers last week to the Importance of the
spring elections, but believing that too
much cannot be said on subject of
such Importance TO every citizen, We
again appeal to you, each and all, to
use every possible endeavor to secure
the greatest good to the community IN
the selection of the men TO fill the sew
eral positions in the township offices.
DO not wait till you go To the caucus
before you give the subject thought,
for in the usual excitement of that
hour it will be impossible to make the
same selections that you would ii qua
etly considering the matter at home.
The AvALANCHE has no political axe
to grind, no friends to reward, and no
enemies to punish in this connection.
We have no names TO offer as candi-
dates for office; al we desire is that
the men best fitted for the several
place shall be called TO I'll them. anu
that he men thus called shall willing
ly yield to the public will and do the
best they can That such action May
be fulfilled, we ask every voter before
the caucus to go through the entire list
to be filed, from supervisor to consta-
bles, and in looking over the township
decide who, in his judgment, is best
fitted for each place, then at the eau
Gus let there be IL free interchange of
opinion, and the ticket selected by the
majority can hardly fail to be one that
all can cheerfully support.

TO FARM ERS.
Editor Apdldnche:

Editor Avalanche:
Please allow me to say a few words
to the farmers of our county, although
| cannot say anything but what they
already know and appreciate.
Brother farmers, we have something
to encourage us to clear, improve and
cultivate our lands, as in the past sea-
son we have beaten the older counties
in raising crops; taking into consider
alton the amount they have invested
in agriculture, and the amount we
have, we have nothing to discourage us
when we compare our resources with
theirs. j have talked with some of
the old pioneers from most of the old
counties i'm this State, and by compar-
ing their stories with those we hear in
our county, they had a harder time of
it than we have, as they raised no bet
ter crops than we do, and had no, saw
mills or pine woods to work in to help
them along. We must expect to Hear
the sweet song-"the soil is so poor,
the frosts so early and so late, and liv-
ing il only slow starvation fora few
years yet, but the song is sung lower
every year, and some have lost the
tune entirely, and soon the words will
be forgotten.
II have been rightly informed, we
have a showing for grist mill and II
30 it is very encouraging, az we can
then realize on what we raise.
We have an editor who understands
our needs and appreciates our position
! as pioneers in new county.

DIFFERENCE IN THE PLAINS.

Since our advent in Crawford coun-
ty we have often heard men mention
the great difference in the productive
ness of different localities on the plains
which they could not account for ex-
cept there be wide diversity in the
soil. We have from time to time made
mental note Of these remarks, and. as
opportunity offered, tried to solve the
mystery, and believe we can now give
the reason for such difference where it
exists.
That there is slight diversity of
soil, etc, we do not deny; but there is
not sufficient TO account for the oppo-
site results. The great difference is in
the men and their manner of farming.
We hear of one man who has a good
farm, producing fine crops of wheat,
rye, corn, buckwheat, and clover, and
neighbor whose farm yields him next
to nothing. Upon inquiry we find the
successful man claims no superiority in
his land in any particular, but his work
is well and thoroughly done, and all iu
season. His seed is carefully selected,
and ground thoroughly prepared, and
his crops are cultivated. while his un
successful neighbor has done every.
thing in a slipshod manner, his land
half plowed, and seed scriInped In
quantity and in quality, and wher
once in or OH the ground that ends il
till time for the expected harvest. We
believe this to be the entire mystery
and the solution is easy If the adage b,
true that like causes produce like re
suits"
All canhot think alike. Judgment'
differv andomethods which may be cor
/ rect la other, localities may be suicida
here. ~ Toooverccme these, let there b,
free eapfesa9nl Between all farmers
and espccially make all experiment,
with great care. that,if they prove sue

just how and what yen haSe done. Il
