Mr.. Shaler, the New England geolo-
gist, has given in recent paper an ILL.,
ustration OF the great changes Of sur
face TO which our globe has been sub
jected in a succession OF ages.
He takes Boston and its vicinity for o
subject and shows the Transformation
occasioned chiefly by the glacial period.
Two parallel mountain ranges, he says,
once lifted their SUBMITS as high as the
Alleghenies, the one on the north, now
represented by the Waltham hills, and
the other by the Blue hills in Milton,
on the south.
These were covered by solid sheet Of
ice two miles thick IN the glacial period.
The massive glacier ground them down
by its power, being assisted by the SUBJ
seauent action OF air and water, to Their
present level.
Parker hill in Roxbury, Powder Horn
hill in Chelsea, and Corey hill in Brook.
line, are made up by material ground by
the glaciers from these mountains, and
so were the three hills for which Boston
was originally called Trimountain. This
same material also filled up parts OF the
harbor, which would otherwise include
Cambridge, Maiden, Revere, Brooklint
and Quincy, and other suburban towns
To q resident in Boston, familiar with
its environs, it seems impossible to be
ieve in these changes. = Youths Com

THE BETTER CHOICk.

On New Years day old Silas Walling
entered his shop where he had six men
at work making hats. He beat up his
felt in the old-fashioned way; and his
great kettle, where the hats were formed
and booked, was tho self-same kettle
which his grandfather had used before
him. Silas was Quaker meek,
plodding, conscientious man, honest and
honorable, just to the last degree and
as generous as his means would allow.
On this New Years day Silas entered
his shop, and called his six men to come
into his little counting-room, where, as
had been his wont for many years, he
had present for each. one. But this
year he had made change. Hereto
fore it had been his custom to purchase
for each such article Of use, or ornament,
as he thought would be most acceptable.
This time, as his men came before him,
he said:
"My good friends, you observe this
book. 1t is history of the Bible, ono
Of the most valuable works I ever read.
1t was written by scholar, without sec
tartan bias, whose only end and aim is
to make clear and plain the hundreds OF
abstruse points and doubtful passages,
which the average reader could not I'M
derstand without help. I had bought
this book, and paid IS for it, when it oc-
CURED to me that some Of you-perhaps
all-might prefer to receive the money,
and then go out and purchase, each for
himself, whatever his fancy might die
tate. SO l have brought the book in
with me, and he may take it who wishes
or he may take the SIS. There lie six
five-dollar gold pieces-so that all may
take money, il they choose. And, as
you make your selection, you will each
and every one accept my best wishes for
the New Year. And, il more than one
of you should choose to take the book,
Twill procure what are wanted. Thomas
Downs, you are the senior. You will
choose hrst.
Thomas came forward, with a per-
ceptible disposition to sheepishness in
his looks-for he had plainly seen that
the good old man, in his heart, wanted
his men to signify desire to study and
understand the Bible but he was moi
inclined that way. He took piece o.
gold.
CHARLES Bascomb came next, and ht
chose piece of gold. Five dollars il
gold was pleasant sight and he could
purchase what he pleased.
Tho next and the next and the mex
} took the gold.
Last came Eben King, the apprentice,
boy-or so he was called, though he wa
to enter upon journeyman's wages thi
day. Said he, his bright blue eyes Civ
ing forth pleasant light:
"I think I'll take the book, Mr.. Wall
ing. My mother is dear lover Of tn
Bible, and l know it will do her grea
deal Of good to have me read prope
explanations of q great many things tina
we can neither of US now understand.

but think thee hast made the bette

the end of the thirteenth century.
When the Popes left Rome to settle at
Avignon, France, they introduced into
that country the secret which had been
kept by the Italians; and Louis XII. es-
tablished at Tours mandatory Of silk
fabrics. Francis I. founded the Lyons
silk works, which to this day have kept
the first rank. Henry H., of France,
wore the first pair Of silk hose ever
made, at the wedding Of his sister. The
word "satin," which, in the original,
was applied to all silk stufs in general,
has, since the last century, been used to
designate only tissues which present
lustered surface. The discovery Of this
particular brilliant stuff was accidental
Octavia Mai, a silk weaver, finding bust
ness very dull, and not knowing what to
invent to give new impulse to the
trade, was one day pacing to and fro be-
fore his loom. Every time he passed
the machine, with no definite object in
view, he pulled little threads from the
warp and put them to his mouth, which
soon after he spat out. Later on, he
found the little ball of silk on the floor
of his Workshop, and was attracted by
the brilliant appearance Of the threads
He repeated the experiment, and, by
using certain mucilaginous preparations,
succeeded in giving satin to the world.

CHILDREN IND FASHION.

10 prevent diphtheria, then, and to
finally exterminate it, every man, woman
and child throughout our land and the
world should be brought to obey the
laws of hfe and health. Parents should
regularly feed. properly clothe and duly
restrain oil children, before theycome to
the years Of understanding and account
ability. This alone would do much.
A late prominent physician of Paris
estimated that 1900 children had
died in that city during the thirty
years of his practice there from short
sleeves, short pants and other kindred
imprudence in the dressing OF children.
And am fully convinced TINT as large o
proportion are sacrificed, in towns al
least, in this country from the sans
cause-all for a wicked fashion. And
from careful observation in this country
and abroad, I am confident that ct least
as manymore are carried off by improper
food and irregularity in taking it, to
gothor with poisonous candies and othel
unwholesome and indigestible trash tina
no child or other person should cot.

COD LIVER OIL.

The american Journal of Pharmacy
suggests q new method OF taking cod
liver oil. AS the use OF this remedy is
at the present time more extensive than
ever before, any means employed where
by it can be more readily taken without
causing disgust Will prove oil service to
sufferers who have to use it daily. Mr..
Fai1thorne's method consists in adding
two drachms of tomato or walnut catchup
to each ounce of the oil, the mixture be-
ing well shaken whenever required for
use. He has found this mixture toagree
with many persons much better than
any other form in which cod liver oil
has been taken, and this he attributes to
the association of substances generally
employed as additions to food, bringing
into operation those digestive faculties
of the stomach which might otherwise
remain dormant when such incon-
gruous substances as sugar and
one Of the principal ingredi-
ents OF fish are introduced together into
the stomach. Mr.. Fairthorne also states
that the following forms not unpalata-
bic mixture, which is readily taken by
the patient: Liebig's extract, ounce;
extract of celery seeds, ! fluid drachm;
vinegar, fluid ounce; water, 2 fluid
ounces; cod liver oil, s fluid ounces.
The extract of beef is to be dissolved in
water, and the oil and vinegar to be
added and shaken well together with the
extract Of celery.

TIE DISCOVERY OF RILK.

The discovery Of silk is attributed to
one Of the wives of the Emperor Of Chi

years before the Christian era; and since
that time special spot has been allot-
Ted in the gardens Of the Chinese royal
palace to the cultivation of the mulberry
tree-called in Chinese the golden
tree and to the keeping OF silk-worms.
The first silk dress in history was made,
not for sovereign nor for pretty

shape, Heliogabulus. Persian monks
who came to Constantinople, revealed to
Justinian the secret Of the production Of
silk, and gave him some silk-worms.

A HAWK AVID 4 RAr1LEsY4Kg.


My musings on the ages of change
that it must have taken to mold the
scene to its present aspect were broken
in upon by a large rattlesnake gliding
out on a bare rock, within. fifty feet of
the point where was sitting. He
seemed to search around like dog for
place to suit his snakeship, and thon
stretched himself out to enjoy the
warmth. was thinking if it was worth
while to heave a stone at the monster,
when big shadow swept down aud a
hawk nearly caught him mapping, but
not quite. The snake sprung his rattle
and coiled himself ready for attnck
while the hawk lowered around, making
a dash, now on the right and now OH the
left. 1t was quite an Interesting Skin
mlsh, but at last the snake made a
spring and apparently failed to strike,
and, before he could recoil himself, the
hawk seized him with both talons close
behind the head-in fact, he had him on
the neck-and swept into the air, while
the snake struggled and twisted. away
up into the blue, in wide, circlinq
sweeps, until the struggling reptile hung
limp and lifeless, when the hawk came
to earth again, and, alighting on a
neighboring tree, made his meal on the
snake. Globe DsDl0crat

THE FIRST AMERIcAN NEWSPAPER

THE FIRST AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.
Boston came to the front, in 1704,
with the NeWs Letter. This paper was
8xl2 inches In size. One column OF the
title-sheet was devoted to foreign news.
The news from Franco was nearly five
months old, yet it was eagerly devoured
by the people Of Boston. The Indians
then skulking in the vicinity of Hart
ford were as murderous as the Utes and
some OF the other tribes on our Western
frontiers. Yet it took two weeks for the
news to reach the city of Boston that
Hartford was raising fifty mon to send
out to protect the frontier settlement OF
Dover, in New Hampshire. Even Bos-
tonians, in those days, did not feel dis
posed to hug the "noblo red man" in
their bosoms as a "fond delusion,s fol
the editor favored q law offering pre-
MUM of from 910 to ESQ for every rnale
Indian above IL years old taken, accord
ing to the service at the time performed
by the captor. The Mes0S Letter was
the only paper published in this country
in 172O. In that year james Franklin
proposed to bring out another--the NcaG
England Courant-in the town. The
undertaking was considered hazardous
The paper was started, but short lived
us the publisher was guilty of the un
pardonable offense of speaking too plainly
of political measures then before thu
public. BE was forced to abandon hi
enterprise and leave "free-speech" Low
