Life on the Planets.

The conclusion of the whole matter,
SAYS Professor Mcfarland, 50 far as
astronomy and physics can now tell.
is this That the four large outer
planets have not sufficiently cooled
down to allow life on their surface
such as we see on the earth. that
Mars gives all telescope and spectre
scopic probabilities of conditions COM
patible with life as we see it that
the eaith certainly for millions of
years has been covered with multi
furious life ; that of Venus and Mer-
curry we have no certain knowledge,
and that the satellites are pretty GER
tainly not fitted for such life as is on
the earth, that, in particular. our
moon has no water and no atmos-
phere, consequently no climate or veg
etable life. If the sun and the planets
continually lose heat, then there will
come a time in the far future when
the sun itself shall go out in everlast-
ing night, and the planets cool down
so that the "eternal snow" would BE
hot compared with the degree Of eSM
throughout all space where everything
shall be dead,

a foreign Journal AYERS that horses
are successfully cured of this vice by
putting a piece of hard wood, an inch
and half square, in the animals
mouth, about the same length as an
ordinary snaAle bit. 1t may be fast
ened by a thong of leather passed
through two holes in the ends of the
wood, and secured to the bride. 1t
must be used in addition to the bit, but
in no way to impede the working of
the bit. Rarey adopted the plan with
the zebra in the Zoo, which was a terri
bic brute at biting. Mr. Rarey sue
ceeded, however, in tanning and train
ing him to harness, and drove him
through the streets of London. Ami
mals with this vice should be treated
kindly in the stable and not abused
with pitchfolk handles, whips, etc.
An apple, crust of bread, piece of
beef, etc, and kind pat, but firm,
watchful hand and eye, with the Use
of the above wooden bit, will cure the
most inveterate bitter. The fact that
he cannot shut his mouth or grip any
thing soon dawns upon him, and then

Superstition About Hair.

The ideas of savages and Of our
compatriots about the mysterious con-
nection which is supposed to exist "be-
tween the cut lock of hair and person
to whom it belonged" are shown to be
often identical. 1t seems that in Ire
land "it is held that human hair
should never be buried, because at the
resurrection the former owner of the
hair will come to seek it, and that
it ought not to be lost, "lest some
bird should find it and carry it off,
causing the owners head to ache all
the time the bird was busy working
the hair into its nest" A somewhat
simillr belief lies at the root of cure
for whooping cough currentin North
amptpnshire and Devonshire, "A hair
of the patients head is placed between
two slices of buttered bread and given
tp II dog. "The dog will get the
cough and the patient lose it,"

During the cold weather special care
should be observed concerning the
young folks clothing. Look well to
the covering Of the feet and limbs
Girls who study or read, or in anyway
are brain-workers, often have hot heads
and cold feet. This is in direct conflict
with the conditions of health. While
thehead rarely suffers from deficiency
of protection, it is about as rare that
the feet are sufficiently clad Kid slip
pers and serge boots are not reason
able protection. Why should they not
be as warmly clad as our more hardy
boys? They need as much protection
to the limbs, but rarely are thus sup
piled. The thick boots, the substantial
pants and llannels, are not equalled in
the attire of the girls, The heavy
overcoat has no equivalent in the ward
robe of the female. Either the one
wears too much, or the other too little.
In addition to warm boots, substantial
hose, thick and warm fannels, or
their eQuivalent-are needed. Girls
who pass over the same route with the
boys, sit in the same rooms. need the
leggings, armlets, wristlets, the thick
mittens not tight kid gloves, if possi-
ble worse than nothing-that the ex-
tremities may be well protected. OF
course such additional articles should
be removed in all warm rooms. where
they are not needed, but are decided
disadvantage If worn there they
debilitate, inducing perspiration, extra
danger when exposed TO the usual eli
mate of the winter.

Treasures precious and dear;
There were kindly deeds that we might have
done,
There were gentle hearts that we left unwon;
And fields where might have grown gram Of
worth
Lie lalIow under the frozen turf;
Much have we lost in the year!
What have we won III the year,

Rich guerdon our lcarts to cheer
With pnin was the pearl ofpNtience bought.
Has failure clearer insight wrought!
Has earnest striving for noble ends
Gained us the strength high purpose Imds'
What have we won in the year?
What have we learned in the year.

Soul truth eternal and cl, ar?
That boarded gold shall be reil with pain,
Tnat what we gave, alone in grn;
That the kindly heart and The open hand
Are greater riches than house and land?

TIE GOLD HUNTERS.
A Story which tmncKs of the Days Of
Captain Itihd.

a Story which tmncks of the Days Of
Captain Nidd.
The Honolulu, Sandwich Islands,
Saturday press says: about year
ago a number of men living in Homo
lulu were moved by Il spirit Of adven-
ture and desire for gold to such an eX-
tent, that they determined to exchange
the banana and cigarette life Of the
islands for the life Of a rover of the
sea, TO this end they purchased for
$4,000, the small brig Ninito, with
which they proposed to visit the south
east coast of Africa and barter with
the untamed sayages of that far off
country and. if. possible, mine in the
gold fields there. While this pretty
little plan was being elaborated,
new direction was given to the
thoughts of the prompters of the
scheme by the arrival Of a Swedish
sailor named Permien. He learned of
the scheme and Immediately interested
himself in it, but proposed to navigate
the NintO and her crew Of adyentur-
ers andfortune. hunters to some north
ern coast where the somewhat unu-
sual combination of gold digging and
salmon fishing could he successfully
worked. Permien told such glow
ing story that the company of
adventures, mostly mechanics and ig-
norant of the mysteries of navigation
and the wonders of Siberia, placed
him at the head of their expedition,
with a share in all possible profits.
The NiGito was loaded with salt for
the salmon, flour to trade with, and
mining tools and fishing tackle pur-
chased in San Francisco, and on the
q of last March sailed from Honolulu
with a full crew, and eight Of the
stockholders of the East Siberia
Fishing and Mining Company Gas the
expedition was officially namedD as
passengers. The passports of those
on board were found to De for Vladi-
vostock, Siberia.
When the brig was ont of sight of
the islands, the captain and mate fore
ed the passengers to do sailors work,
and the captain and IA passenger nam
ed Nelson, formed a conspiracy to run
to the nearest island, leave the passen-
gers, sail to the next port. and sell the
entire outfit and brig, pOcke,ing the
proceeds as Il reward for their ingenu-
itv. This scheme failed for time,
and on the fortieth day out the little
brig sailed into the port of Hakodati,
island of Jesse. There Nelson, while
on shore, attempted to rob another one
of the passengers, named Mason, of
watch. Mason attempted to kill Mel
son in order to bring about an open
rupture which should decide whether
the conspirators or the passengers
should thereafter manage the eXpedi-
ton. In this amicable and highly di-
plomatic endeavor he was unsuccess-
full, and the brig continued until
Nladivostock was reached.
There the dupes of the Swede's
scheme found that no mining could he
done without a permit from st. Peters
burg, and Mason gave away the
captains conspiracy to some English
speaking person he met For this,
Permien handed Mason over to the
officer of a Russian man-of-war on a
charge of attempt to commit murder.
The Russian did not hold him, rs the
offense was committed in japanese
port Mason then accepted an offer
of Permien to sell his interest, and
worked his way t, this city.
