Why No Waterfalls, Snakes, Etc., Are
Found In Ireland.

In an interesting article on the yole
or water-rat, by Mr.. Grant Allen, in the
English Country Gentleman, the writer
discusses the question why certain ami
mails, such as snakes, vipers, water-rats,
ETC., are not found in Ireland. For the
real solution of the problem, he says,
we must 90 back to the time when En-
gland, Ireland and the continent were
united by broad belt of land across
the beds of the English Channel, St.
Georges Channel and the North Sea.
1t is now an ascertained fact that in the
very latest geological period, known as
the glacial epoch, the whole surface OF
the British islands Except an inSignifi-
cant strip of the south cOast) was COW
cred from end to end with deep coat
ing of glaciers, like that which now en-
velops all polar lands, and while this
condition of things prevailed there were.
of course, no animals of any sort in all
Britain, or, at any rate, none but few
Arctic types. After the ice melted,
however. the existing British fauna,
such as it is, began to occupy the land,
and the fact that it did so is one proof,
though by no means the only proof,
that a communication with the CONT
nent then existed across the bed of the
North Sea. Now, the animals only
pushed their way very slowly into the
newlv-cleared region as the ice melted
away, and the consequence is that only
some forty kinds of mammals out of the
whole European fauna had penetrated
as far as England before the gradual
submergence of the low-land belt sep
arated it from the continent by forming
the inclosing arms of the sea. But Ire
land lies even further west than En-
gland, and there is reason to believe that
st. Georges Channel had all been
flooded before the waves of the Atlantic
broke down the last link between Dover
and Calais. Accordingly, Ireland never
got her fair share of land animals at all.
for though the wolf and fox and Irish
hare and many other quickly migrating
creatures had time to cross the inter.
vening belt before the submergence,
several smaller or slower creatures. in.
Guiding the vipers, did not get over the
ground fast enough and were thus shut
out forever from the Isle of Saints
Among them were the whole race Of
voles, and that is the reason why Ire
land to this day has no WATERWAYS.

Arcadia vs.. PandemOnium.

In Arcadia, where everybody is rich
or, rather, where nobody is very poor
or very rich, when the summer heat:
come people do but little work. They
are up and stirring at early morn, but al
ten o'clock they retire to their houses.
pull down the blinds, disrobe and make
themselves as easy as possible. No one
stirs out of the shade until about three
p. M, when in the cool of the evening
life's activity is renewed; the fields are
plowed, the garden beds hoed and
weeded, the cows MIXED, the butter is
made, the stores are opened and bust
ness transacted. After which they re.
tire by nine or ten. for the Arcadians
more rest in summer than in winter.
The Arcadians take their suggestions iu
these matters from nature, and declare
that when the leaf droops with the heat
and the birds and animals retire to the
shade. as they do in the middle
of the day. so should man if he
would preserve his physical vigor at its
best. In Arcadia the streets are shaded
with many rows of trees and the houses
built about large squares in which are
placed fountains. A drowsy silence
from ten until three p. m. reigns over
all their cities, for their people work to
live but do not live to work. COngenial
occupation is by them hailed as a bless
ing, but no occupation is allowed to be-
come drudgery. 1t is only in Pande-
monium that men and animals are
forced to drudgein the season of deadly
heat from sun to sun, sometimes finish
ing their tasks more dead than alive
and sometimes dropping dead ere the
tasks are done. 1t is only in Pandemo-
mum that the few thousand flee the
city during summer to cooler retreats
on the mountains or by the seaside.
while hundreds of thousands are obliged
to remain in sitting air generated
from packed humanity and miles OF
heated brick and stone. Y Graphic.

something as we stand here brings
back that morning seventeen years age
when / rode away and left her with SO
little thought that l was never to see
her again. Poor little Rose!'
The sigh was for that lonely grave
z that PARKWAY land. She had slipped
her hand into his. arm; she pressed il
close now. There nad never been any
jealousy of that first wife in her heart.
He went on after a little pause:
II wonder, sometimes, how it would
have been had she lived. l can not
imagine her-pure, tender child that
she was!-ever growing dear to me as
you have been. 1t is well that the
power of directing our own lives is not

talking but little. then Power reused
himself with shake and laugh.
"Come, Rose. l think we have both
been in dream-land together. You will
be chilled to the marrow with this heavy
dew. 1t is my fault, but you will have
the penance to bear in the shape of
bad cold tomorrow. 1t is the way of
the world that one person shall suffer

II wonder if you can forgive me,

tone.

LABOR SONG.
There's the music of the birds.
And the music of the bees;
There eithe music of the forests
in the grand old trees;
Natures symphony is sweet
And without a single flaw,
Yet there's nothing like the music
VI the Hammer and the Saw.
Hail TO Liberty and Peacei

And the worlds ennobling chorus
Of the Hammer and the Saw.
Though the little birds may sing,
And the balmy zephyrs blow,
Yet the larder may be empty,
And the wheat crop low;
But when labor strikes a note.
Then the heart that was in awe
Dances lightly to the music
Of the Hammer and the Saw.
Hail to Liberty and Peacei
Hail to "Order, Heavens first lawv'
And the worlds ennobling chorus
Of the Hammer and the Saw.
The man may not be skilled
For the harp or for the Tyre,
But have caught an inspiration
From ambitions noble fire.

Advance in WhalebOne.

Nearly all the whalebone used in the
United States is received through San
Francisco; but nearly every pound re-
ceived here is shipped directly to the
East, where it is put into shape for use.
The catch of late years has been COM
paratively light. The receipts at San
Francisco for the last three years have
averaged less than 3O0,OO pounds. The
quantity which was reported in 1882
was $4,000 pounds. A Boston paper
says the total catch of arctic whalebons
in 1882 was only 241,0OO pounds, and
that the first of November, 1882, when
this bone first came upon the market,
the supply of carry-over stock in first
hands was only Is, Opounds. The for
eign demand has been quite active this
year, especially from England, where
the consumption is much larger than in
either France or Germany In conse-
quence of these heavy Withdrawals for
export, the stock of bone in first hands
the 18th inst. was reduced to 10000
pounds, of which 10000 pounds were
Arctic, 5000 pounds South Sea, and
1000 pounds Northwest. In addition
there are probably $4,000 pounds in
second or cutters hands. These figures
include $4,000 pounds South Sea re-
ceived this season, and there will not
be over 1000 more of this kind to come
forward. 1t will thus be seen that the
total supply in first and second hands
available until the arrival of the Arctic
fleet is only $1,000 pounds. The price
of the Arctic advanced from $3.50 May
to S2.75 May 4 in the Boston market.
The LIST Of june the price was 1926, and
the 7th of June it was $3.50. During
the first week in June the manufactured
article sold at $3.50, and in the course
of the second week it was advanced to
1926. These high prices are causing a
larger consumption of substitutes in the
form of horn, rattan, rubber and cellu-
loid. From present appearances the
Arctic fleet will report no more bone
than last year-Sdn Francisco Bulletin,

An acre of sweet corn for feeding
to swine will afford good return in
pork fully equal in money value to any
use to which the corn could have been
applied. They are very fond of the
stalks as well as the ears of corn, and
will eat all up clean. If given to hogs
fed upon corn principally, it serves to
give them relish for their other food,
improves their healthfulness and in
creases their flesh. When hogs have
been kept at pasture on clover sweet
corn may be used to follow the clover,
as they will eat enough of it to make
them grow thriftily.-N. Y. Herald.

should be practical, direct, scientific,
experimental; on farm, with compe-
tent, practical teachers. They should
cover the old apprentice plan of train
ing, brought up to the requirements and
possible requirements of this genera
ton.
There is one feature of farm life that
cannot be too carefully considered. l
refer to theeffect of modern machinery
on the training of the boys. 1t is a fact
that we can hardly find boy of eighteen
or twenty, who has all his life worked
on farms, who can handle scythe with
any skill. Some of them are equally
awkward with hoe and rake and other
tools. The reason is evident enough in
the general introduction of machinery
for rapid moving and cultivating. Up
to twenty, or longer, the farm-boy
simply waits on machines. He has none
of the training or development of skill
that used to be the result Of farm work.
He has never tried his muscle in cutting
his own swath or hoeing his own row
with his elders. As a result, when set
to do what machinery cannot do he is
an awkward clown. In the garden, if
you set him to spading, he neither can
dig, turn or grade; but, with no system,
roots the soil in heaps, half pulverized
and half aerated. Ask him if he has
never done any moving or spading and
he will tell you he has worked on a
farm for ten years. ''But what have
youlearnedP" "They would never let me
do anything but wait on the machines.
So you have your raw apprentice at
mans wages, and, what is worse, too
wise to learn. He despises these low
grade accomplishments as much as
your high school boy scorns geography
and arithmetic. The only help for this
state of things is in school training,

"The United States Court at Solomonville, A. T., had to adjourn suddenly, Friday and fee from the vengeance of cowboys" and also Tue son special to that paper in words and figures here reproduced.

Authentic ru- mors had reached Solomonville to the effect that gang of cowboys were in- tending to intercept and murder Judge Sheldon and party on thsir return X from Solomonville to thiS iSrtation on Sunday morning. Judge sheldon, A. Zabriskie, c. c. Stephens and Deputy United States Marshal Evans, the lat ter having been sent by Marshal lid ball to accompany them down, left Solomonville at clock this morning, the party being thoroughly armed, and came through, distance of forty miles, in four and half hours, without ac- cident.
 Upon arriving here they received intelligence to the effect that last night the cowboys had left Duncan, on the Clifton and Lordsburg Railroad, for Solomonville, with the avowed pur- pose of attacking the jail, releasing the condemned criminals and murder ing Sheldon, Prosecuting Attorney Stevens and others interestedo in the prosecution. The Sheriff had sum moned large posse of resolute men to defend the jail and lively times may be expected. Twenty-two convictions were had for crime, among which were two of the most desperate of cowboys. Stirring times are expected.

Turkey Shooting.

The usual Thanksgiving turkey shooting was indulged in by the mighty nimrods of Globe, on Wednes- day afternoon. MT. Hatch had the af- fair in charge and furnished eleven fine birds. The distance measured of was two hundred yards, and it re- quired true eye and steady arm to capture prize. When the shooting began the conditions were not favora. ble for good craftsmanship, there be- ing a cross wind, and the sun also bothering the shooters considera- bly,. It required thirty-nine shots to bring the first turkey to grass, and it looked as though the gentleman furn. ishing the game would have a picnic, but the marksmen soon. caught the distance, and the wind dying down, it became evident that the turkeys were going to experience a warm afternoon in November. The feathers began to fly and Mir. Hateh's prospective gains to disappear, and when the last bird bit the dust it was found that no one was much ahead,- and that the only sufferers were the turkeys. Daniel Boone Lacey proved a terror, bring
 
 ing down the game in good style, and for fear he would bag them all, was barred out. Eaton, Newtonst Spence, Boston, .Vosburgh, Gill, Redman and Mahopey also carried home prizes.

ORIGIN AND OBJECTS,

The National Women's Christian Temperance Union is the largest soci- ety ever composed exclusively of wo. men, and conducted entirely by them As a general estimate, (the returns being altogether incomplete) we think that the number of local Unions, is about 5000, with a membership of about 100000, and large number of juvenile organizations. This society is the lineal descendant of the great Temperance crusade of 1873-4, and is a Union of Christian women of all Churches, for the purpose of educat- ing the young, forming a better public sentiment; reforming the drinking classes; transforming by the power of Divine grace, those who are enslaved by alcohol; and removing the dram. shop from our streets by law.
 Every State and Territory will have been organized by the time this con. vention is held.
