How Intelligence Progresses.

From the lowest to the highest
creatures, intelligence progresses by
acts of determinations; and it contin-
ues so to progress among men, from
the most ignorant to the most cultur-
ed. 10 class rightly-to put in the
same group things which are of essen
TALLY the same natures, and other
groups things of natures essentially
different--is the fundamental condition
to right guidance OF actions. Begin
ming with rudimentary vision, which
gives warning that some large Opaque
body is passing near Gust as closed
eyes turned to the window perceiving
the shade caused by hand put before
them, tell us of something moving in
front), the advance is to developed
vision, which, by exactly-appreciated
combinations of forms, coIors, and mo-
tions, identifies objects ut great dis
tances as prey or enemies Of this or
that kind, and so makes possible adj
justments of conduct for securing food
or evading death. That progressing
perception of differences and conse-
quent greater correctness of chasing
constitutes, under one of its chief as
poets the development of mind, is
equally seen when we pass from the
relatively simple physical vision to the
relatively complex intellectual vision
the vision through the agency of which
things previously grouped by certain
external resemblances or by certain ex-
trinsic circumstances come to be more
truly grouped in conformity with their
intrinsic structures or natures. Unde-
deloped intellectual vision is just as in
discriminating and erroneous in its
classings as undeveloped physical vis-
ion. Instance the early arrangement
of plants under the heads trees, shrubs,
herbs: size, the most conspicuous trait,
being the ground of distinction, and the
assemblages formed being such rs
united many plants extremely unlike in
their natures. and separated others that
are near akin. Or still better, take the
popular classification which puts to-
gether under the same general name
fish and shell-fish, and under the SUBJ
name. shcll-fish, puts together crusta-
ceans and mollusks; nay, which goes
further, and regards as fish the ceta-
cean mammals. Partly because of the
likeness in their modes of life rs inhab-
iting the water, and partly because of
some general resemblance in their
tastes. creatures that are in their essen
tial natures far more widely separated
than q fish is from y bird, are grouped
under the same class and under the
same sub-class. --Herbert Spencer in
Popular Sc.e,see Monthly for FebruarY

Etiquette for Chinese Women.

A young girl walking in the street
must not turn her head round; nor at
home is she to glance shyly at visitors.
She is TO remember, moreover, that
girls who are always laughing and
talking are not esteemed; and that vir-
tuous women have been honorcd from
the earliest times. The philosopher
Mendze grieved when he saw his moth
er break her shuttle; the woman Tson
threw herself on sword 10 save her
husbands life; the mother of 40, being
so poor that she could not buy writing
materials, taught her son TO read by
tracing characters in the sand. Wo-
men should be able 10 read, write and
use the counting machine, so as to be
in position to direct household. They
should read books of piety and stories
Of morality in action, while avoiding
love-poetry. songs and anecdotes. Wo-
men should be reserved; and they are
cruelty enjoined not TO occupy them
selves with other peoples affairs. Men
ought never TO talk OF domestic affIirs,
while woman should never talk of any,
thing else. When visitor is in the
drawing-room the lady of the house
should not be heard raising her voice
in tho kitchen. Women are not to
paint their faces and wear striking
colors, for the sufficient reason that if
they do men will look ut them. Young
women. as well as young men. are to
be dutiful 10 their parents and always
in good humor, even when their father
and mother are not. They are to ask
them whether they are hot or whether
they are cold; to take them food and
drink and to furnish them with new
boots and shoes. When a young girl
Is grown up and married to an honest
man she must not forget her parents,
and once or twice year must ask per-
mission of her husband to go and see
them. "From the highest authority
until the present day the rule in mar
riage has been that the husband COM
mands and the wife obeys.n Virtue in
a wife consists in having an even tenn
per; and TO arrive at this much must
be supported. If the first wife has
not the happiness to give her husband
a male child he chooses a person he
loves in order to have by her son
who will perpetuate his line. 1t is nec-
essary under these circumstances,
says the Manual" mot to give way
to jealousy, but to live together on
friendly terms in the same house. At
present great dissensions trke place
between first and second wives. Out of
a hundred first wives you will hardly
find one of a sweet and affable dispo-
sition. | have taken great palms."
adds the author, ''in writing this para
graph. Do not read it thoughtlessly.
If, however. he had been more thought
full himself it might have occurred to
him that the want of sweetness and af-
fabilily which he deplores in "tirst
wives" is the result less of character
than of circumstances, and that it
would show itself equally in second
wives if they too in their turn were to
be replaced.-St James Gazette

Agriculture i'm Ireland,

Irish land shows q continuous ten.
dency to 60 out of cultivation--lhe area
under all crops being this year but 15,-
15l, 230 acres, as against Is, 5,212, $50
last year, and 15,304, 235 the year be-
fore. the decline extends alike to
corn. green crops, flax, and rotation
grasses; and even potatoes occupy 3d.
9O0 acres less than in 1882. The de-
crease in the area under wheat is enor-
NOUS, amounting to no less than 58,-
600 acres, or nearly SO per cent. The
growth in permanent pasture does not,
as in England, keep pace with the
abandonment of tillage. On the con-
trary, the cultivated area in the whole
Of Ireland shows u diminution in the
year of more than $4,000 acres. There
is some increase in the number of cat
tie, and slight increase in the number
Of sheep and lambs; but the number of
the latter is about 20 per cent. less than
tWo years ago. In pigs there has been
q decrease for the year of over 100, 900.

A correspondent from Cairo de-
scribes an Ostrich farm in that neigh
borhood. The owner began four years
ago with twenly-four birds, and has
now 21O. Each full-grown ostrich
yields nearly 70Jfrancs' worth of teath-
ers. The hen lays about forty-eight
eggs; about one-fourth are bad, and of
the remaining three dozen half are left
with the bird and half are hatchcd ar
tificially in warm cases of sand cover
ed with flannel. The difficulties in this
process are in keeping uniform heat
and in cracking the shell at the right
time and place. The most disagreea-

George w. Fairchild, Deputy United
States Surveyor of Nebraska, in his re-
port to the Commissioner of the Gener-
al Land Office says:
"All the agricultural land in that Sec
ton has been fenced in by the cattle
men. Their ranges extend for hundreds
of miles, and the wire fence inclosing
all desirable public lands, and even the
watercourses, are posted at intervals
with notices threatening death to any
persons opening them. The herders as
sert that they hold these lands under the
desert land and timber culture laws.
The result is complete check to per-
sons seeking to make homestead settle
ment."
This is stealing the public lands by
the wholesale.

A Gard,

To the Citizens Of Anderson County: It has
been reported by some malicious person
that my administration of the County Jail
has not been correct in that prisoners have
not been properly fed, and that prisoners
have been hired to the city council of An
derson and thus double fees collected. Both
of these statements are entirely without q
shadow of truth to sustain them. and I am
confident that the people Of Anderson
County know them to be msliciously false.
II any proof of this is needed, think the
following affidavit of Mrs. Margaret r.
Harris, a respectable white lady, effectually
disposes of the first faltehood:

says that she was the cook at the County

and that It was during said time while she
was cooking that one James Patterson was
