PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

base natures joy to see sorrows CONF
to those they deem happy.
Never turn blessing round to see
whether it has dark side to it.
Idleness is emptiness the tree in
which sap is stagnant remains fruitless.
AS the rolling stone gathers no moss,
so the rowing heart gathers no affec-
tions.
A mans country is not certain area
of land, of mountains, rivers and
woods-but it is principle; and patri-
otism is loyalty to tlat principle.
Whenever we find Il man who enjoys
wide popularity, we may be assured,
however bad his reputation may be,
that he has some good qualities in an
eminent degree.
! He who does not respect confidence
will never find happiness in his path.
The belief in virtue vanishes from his
heart, the source of nobler actions
DcCOllcS cNllllCI Ill Hill.
There are moments when tho pale
and modest star, kindled by Gid in
simple hearts, which men call con-
science, illumines our path with iruer
light than the flaming comet Of g't,,us
on its magnificent course.
The two most precious things Oh ,hi.

our life. But it is to be lamented that

SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

Motions in drawing, writing and all
mechanical labor are from right to left
in inferior races, and the opposite in
more highly civilized ones.
In the German army more and more
attention is being paid to the science of
aerostatics, and officers are being
trained to make balloon ascensions.
1t is suggested by German scientist
that the moon may be habitable on the
side invisible from the earth, the water
and the atmosphere being drawn
thither by the effects of gravitation.
Continuous baths, as carried out in
Vienna, are reported as being very eff
cacious in the treatment of skin dis
eases, and M. Lenoir warmly recon-
mends their introduction into the hos
pitfalls of Paris.
Where the air is charged with sui
phur fumes the tints of foliage in the
fall, so noticeable elsewhere, are not
produced and there is no burst of glory
in the woods before the trees sink into
the repose of winter. The leaves SIM
ply blacken, shrivel up, and fall to the
ground.
Annually the lead mines of the world
yield about 100000 tons, and of that
quantity the United States is credited
with 100000 tons. Mexico, South
America generally, Canada and Austria
lia yield almost nothing of that metal.
Spain heads the list of lead-mining
countries with 10000 tons.
Strange to say. the expedient of pour
ing oil upon the broken waves of the
ocean to produce comparative calm
is spoken Of by some of the scientific
journals as new thing. The fact is,
that this action of oil in sitting
breakers is quite as old at least as
Aristotle.
The Vienna municipal authorities
have established a number of regula-
lions for persons wishing to manGuvre
balloon. They are obliged to prove
that they have gone through course
of instruction with a competent aero
naut, and have executed by themselves
lumber Of successful ascents. Per
sons DESTROYS of being passengers in a
balloon are compelled to procure an
authorization from their wife and chill

A Sweet Bonanza.

For nearly fifteen years past
large colony Of bees have had their
cave situated on the highest bluff of
the Buttes. They have occupied the
place so long the rock is generally
known as the "Bee Rock" Recent V
party of men living in the neighbor-
hood of Pennington went to the place,
determined TO rob the mammoth hive
They were supplied with powder, fuse,
drills, bars, etc, with which to ASA il
the stronghold. The result was a
cloud of bees that made them retreat.
Next day the assault was renewed,
and after lively battle of three hours
TIL bees were defeated. The dead
ones filled three grain sacks to over
flowing. The cave was then blasted
open and the party found a solid mass
of honey in the comb two and one-hali
feet wide, five feet long and three feet
thick. The expedition was IA success
but many of the participants paid dear
for their victory.-Gridley (Idaho

VeneratiOn Of the Monkey.

Victor Jacquemont estimates that
the Bengal Presidency alone contains
sixteen hundred monkey asylums, sup
ported chiefly by the very poorest class
of thepopulation. In the rural districts
Of Nepaul the hanumans have their
sacred groves and keep together in
troops of fifty or sixty adults, and in
spite of hard times these associations
multiply like the monastic orders of
medieval Europe; but they must all
be provided for, though the natives
should have to exc out their crops with
the wild rice of the Jumna swamp
jungles.
The strangest part of the supersti-
ton is that this charity results by no
means from a feeling of benevolence
toward animals in general, but from
the exclusive generation of special
subdivision of the monkey tribe. An
orthodox IIindoo must not willingly
take the life of the hllmblest fellow
creature, but he would not move Il
finger to save a starving dog, and has
no hesitation in stimulating Il beast of
burden with dagger-like goad and
other contrivances that would invoke
the avengin9 powers of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails, Nor would he shrink from eX-
IRENE measures in defending his fields
from theravages of low-caste monkeys.
DIR. Allen Mackenzie once saw swarm
of excited natives running toward an
orchard where the shaking of the
branches betrayed the presence of
arbOreal marauders. Some of them
carried sings, others clubs and cane
spears. But soon they came back
crestfallen. whats the matter? "
