How can We who are bewildered and
appalled, by the fury of our planets cy-
clones and volcanic eruptions, form con-
eeption of the terrible energy of natural
operations on the sun? Professor New
comb suggests that if we call the solar
chromssphere an ocean of fire, we must
remember that it is an ocean hotter than
the fercest furnace and as deep rs the
Atlantic is broad. If we call its move
ments hurricanes, we must remember that
our hurricanes blow only about a hundred
miles an hour, while those OF the chrome
sphere blow as far in q single second They
are such hurricanes as, coming down upon
us from the north, would, in so seconds
after they had crossed the st. Lawrence, be
in the Gulf of Mexico, carrying with them
the whole surface of the continent in q
mass, not simply of ruin, but of glowing
vapor, in which the vapors arising from the
dissolution of the materials composing the
cities of Boston, New York and Chicago
would be mixed in single indistinguish-
able cloud When we speak of cruptions
we call to mind Vesuyius burying the sur
rounding cities in lava; but the solar erup-
tons, thrown 5000 miles high, would

The Immigration Scheme.

The organization Of an association tC en-
courage immigration to northern and CEN
trail California will be attended with inn
portant results in promoting the prosperity
of the portion o! the State named if proper
energy and system is given to the work.
There is much to do and it will require a
world of labor to bring the organization to
that perfection that the scope of its duties
contemplate; but by industry and intelli-
gence much can be done in the direction
intended. The region intended to be benc-
flied is vast in area, and but sparsely popu-
lated in proportion to that area. 1t has
great diversity in resources, in lands suited
TO varied agriculture, grazing, numbering
and mining Watered by rivers capable OF
furnishing unlimited water-power for man.
ufacturing machinery and irrigation, and a
climate that cannot be excelled on the con-
tinent. There is every variety of soil and
climatic conditions to encourage the settle
ment of tens of thousands of people, and
those of tle independent class who have
the means and intelligence to profit quickly
upon their venture if they come to settle
among us. 1t would not be good policy to
hold out inducements only to the impecu-
Nous classes, but to those who already by
their thrift and industry are able at once to
make good improvements and are ready to
become permanent residents and add to the
wealth and stability of the country. Grass

Earring Wood.

For twenty or thirty years we have taken
occasion to refer to the injury which the
application of tar does to fences, shin
giles and woodwork in general. We
nevertheless still notice that the prac-
tice is pursued under the impression that
the tar preserves rather than destroys the
objects TO which it is applied. 1t should be
borne in mind that heat as we'll as moisture
decays wood, but both combined will have
an increased effect il this direction. The
idea that many persons entertain that
moisture alone is the decaying agent, and
it follows that the protection of wood
against moisture, by thorough covering of
paint, tar, etc, will effect the purpose is
altogether fallacious. Heat in an almost
equal degree will work the destruction of
the wood; and as the black color
ing of tar will attract the heat
powerfully, this agent alone, or in
combination with moisture, which
in nearly all cases will more or less pene
trate at points through any covering, will
rapidly produce decay. The effect of tar,
intensified by the attraction of the suns
rays, absorbs the life of the wood, which
can be erumbled into powder by the hand,
as our experience has frequently proved to
US. A black fence is pleasing to the eye,
which in addition to the belief that it m,lss
be Il preventative OF the wood, lnducet
many to scout the idea of its damaging
character; but trial will in n short time
only too fatally confirm wha; we say. Many
persons whitewash their fences under the
impression that it also preserves the wood
by protecting it against rain; but the least
examination will show that whitcwash
does not turn off the rain, but that it pene
trates directly through it to the wood.
The question will therefore be naturally
asked: In what way does it benefit the
wood? We answer by its directly opposite
effect upon it of that of tar-its white
color. White repels the heat, and hence
protects the wood against the damaging
effect of the heat Whitewash, as almost
any other coloring matter, except that of
black, may have some slight preventative
influence but not sufficient to pay for lis
application. The effect of good paint on
fine work exposed to the weather, where
repeated coats are applied, is a different
matter, and has nothing TO do with the
question in hand. If good coat of tar is
applied to wood which is entirely under
ground, and where the sun has no influence
upon it, and no heat to be attracted by the
tar, there is no doubt but that its applica-
ton will have an excellent effect in pre-
serving the wood jamestown pa Tele-

What We Have Learned From Animals.

1t is a favorite theory of some that ami
mails are initiative, and what man does
they follow after and try to perform. Posi-
bly, man first learned from the animals.
Many animals are born armed and
weaponed both for offense, capture and de-
Tense when attacked or pursued. The GO
rillas of Africa fought the soldiers of Han
no, and apes use handstones to crack nuts.
In the days of Strabo that historian tells us
that Indian monkeys climbed mountains
and rolled stones down on their pursuers.
Take throwing for example. The print
tive man learned it from beasts. The squid
(cuttlc-fish) defends itself by discharging its
ink bag, Embedded in the liver, and escapes
in the blackened water. The tokotes or
archer brings down insects with drop of
water when they are three or four feet high
in the air. The archer fish of Japan is kept
in a glass jar and fed by holding flies
at the end of q rod a few inches from
the surface of the water, and it never
fails to hit them. The llama or gUanaco
throw their acrid and fetid saliva some dis
lance and with accurate aim. Men would
learn to strike by watching the blow of the
bear, and the kick of those animals which
defend themselves by kicking, as the horse,
ostrich, eagle and larger birds of prey
would teach him q lesson in assaulting
with ready wings. The whale raises its
head with such force that it has sunk a
whaler. Combats of goats, stays, butfalOes
and wild bulls, all of which rush forward
with their heads down and drive their
horns into their enemy's body, would sug
gest the thrust. The bittern, the peacock
and the American white crane stab at the
eve And the black rhinoceros, the fiercest
of any, when angered his horn becomes
hard and erect, and, diving beneath the
canoe, he pierces a hole in its bottom
and sinks it, and with the same
weapon attacks and rips open the
huge and ungainly elephant The
pheasant and partridge, the cock and
quail, would suggest, with their spurs, the
use of the poniard. Pliny says that dol
phins which enter the Nile have knife
edged spur on their back to protect them
from crocodiles The bull head fish has Il
many-barbed horn on its dorsum which
must have taught the Esquimaus and saw
ages of South America and Australia the use
of their spears. Poisoned dagger-makers
took hint from the sting-tish or adder pike,
whose dorsals and spines have double
grooves, in which a poisonous secretion is
found. The sting-rays twist their long,
slender tails round their enemy and cut
the surface inflicting a wound not easily
healed. The sting sometimes breaks off
in the wound. The Fiji Islanders, the
Samoans and Tahitians use this poison ex-
tensively. These things IN animals
would suggest the poisoned dagger with
which the Italians of the middle ages
were so handy.-GCincinnati Enquirer.

Train Your Daughters.

This advice is intended for all mothers
without exception or distinction, and all
other guardians of young girls. A girl
should be trained to a thorough theoretical
and practical knowledge of housekeeping
however great her expectations, however
high her position In life. Although she
may be the daughter of millionaire, or
one high in station, she is liable some time
to become the head of home and the
head of home without knowledge of
housekeeping is certainly a proper object
for commiseration. She may be abun-
dainty able to hire all the servants to do
her work without lifting her hands, yet if
she knows nothing eXperimentally she is
liable to be, in measure, at the mercy of
her servants. A servant generally learns
very soon whether her mistress understands
the mysteries of her vocation; whether she
is capable of directing her household affairs
or not, and if she makes up her mind that
she is ignorant in that respect she will,
nine times out of ten take advantage of it
and become petty tyrant, or fail to earn
her wages.
Every girl should be taught practical and
scientific cookery. She should learn the
changes that take place in meats and yege-
tables by cooking, and just what kind of
cooking will render them most agreeable,
digestible and nourishing young
woman who pronounces the marriage
VOWS, who takes upon herself the position
of head of the home department of fam
lily, assumes fearful responsibility. And
if she does so without qualifying herself
for the position she does very wrong, and
the evils that may flow from the act are in
calculable. An ignorant incapable house
keeper will very likely ALLEVIATE the afiec-
tons of her husband ruin his and her
health, and plant the seeds OF disease in
the constitutions of their offspring. 1t IS
highly important that wife and mother
should exercise refining, intellectual,
moral and spiritual influence upon her
family, but that is hardly possible unless
she understands the lower departments of
housekeeping, the preparation of their
food, the care of the rooms, the care OF
their clothing, the care OF their beds, the
art of making home neat, attractive, COM
Portable and beautiful.
Then begin early, mothers, to teach your
children TO do something well to sew and
mend their clothes; to sweep and dust
their rooms to SCI and clear OFF the table;
to wash the dishes, and quite early, to
cook the simpler dishes. Most girls will
learn TO do these things much more cheer
fully when young than when in their
teens, and it should not be postponed until
then. 1t certainly would be unwise TO
confine very young girls to work until it
becomes irksomc, but they should have
some light tasks in that direction to per-
form every day Begin early and follow
up conscientiously the duty of training to
some useful daily work in the way of
household duties, and, imperceptibly,
your girls will grow into knowledge of
housekeeping that will qualify them, when
into the position of keeper of their own
home; position, when properly filled,
second in importance to none that man
kind can fill on this earth.-[Tribune and

4 JUNE DAY IN AUTUMN.

/ know the summer has gone by.
But summer azure tints the sky,
And summers timid zephyrs sigh,
Ambush II heard.
A moment since fair, faint note,
Uprising softly from the throat
OF some wild bird.
Oh, what day Ito which belong
The summers sky and breeze and song,
The summers MISUNDERSTANDING throng
OF sweet delights,
With autumns wealth of garnered sheayes
And autumn's glow of frost-touched leaves
On distant nights.
If back to life's calm autumn, days
Like this come ever; when the rays
Of autumn's sun shine through the haze;
When sheaves of gold
To eaIth'S store-houSes have been borne,
do not see why men should mourn
That they grow old.
Good Cheer.
