HlNDus AND CHINESE.
The Former Love the Ideal. and the Lat
ter the Practical,

ter the Practical,
Never did opposing qualities and de-
fects establish wider gulf between two
races. During the four or five thousand
years which make up her history, China
offers us the unique spectacle, as it
seems to me, of society founded upon
purely human basis-without prophet,
without Messiah, without reyeaIer, with
out mythologyi of a society calculated
for temporal well-being and the good
organization of this world, and for moth
ing else. India, on the other hand,
shows us not less surprising spectacle
of race exclusively speculative, living
by the ideal, building its religion and its
literature in the clouds, without any in
termingling elements drawn from his
tory or reality. The characteristic feat
ure of the Chinese mind is negation of
the supernatural; what it can not I'M
derstand does not exist for it. India, on
the contrary, absorbed in the contem-
plation of the infinite, has exhausted her
activity in the creation of an exuberant
mythology and innumerable systems of
metaphysics. Nor has the study of ma
ture, of man, or of history ever seemed
to her worthy to check her thought for
an instant. China is indisputably, of all
countries, that which possesses the best
ordered and the most abundant archives.
Since the twelfth century before the
Christian era she has stored up, dynasty
by dynasty, and almost year by year, the
official documents of her history, the
DEGREES of her sovereigns, the rules of
her administration. India, so prodig-
iously fruitful in everything else, has not
a line of history. She has reached
modern times without believing that the
real is ever worth writing down. This
present life is for the Chinese the only
aim of human activity. For the Indian
ences. On one side you have bour-
geois and reasonable race, narrow as
common sense is narrow; on the other,
a race devoted to the infnite-dreamy,
absorbed, and lost in its own magma
tons. Nor are the physical character
istics of both less strikingly contrasted.
The bright oblique eye. the fiat nose,
the short neck, the cunning look of the
Chinese, indicate the man of common
sense, well trained in the affairs of this
world; the noble outline of the Indian,
his slim figure, his broad, calm brow, his
deep, tranquil eye, show us race made
its very errors, to provide us with a
measure of the speculative power OF
humanity.-MacnatltQaa's Magazine

five buttons, a sacred number. These

LIE NAUGHTY SUNBEAM.

One fine morn little Sunbeam
Woke up cross and, OIL so bluel
POuted, when the Sun, his papa,
Told him all that he must do.
And this naughty Ii tie Sunbeam
Said: :" He did not care cent,
S'posing all the world was dripping
And with dew the limbs all bent.
@Did not care if all the daisies
Caught their death, with rlfiles wet;
And those tall sud starchy lilies
Lost their fine and stately set
Guessed he wouldn't mind his papa
And go working down below;
Believed he'd sail out in acloud-boat
Or go sliding on the bow.
"said he would not lightthe world up
Like useful little lamp;
Thought he'd run away forever
And become sunbeam tramp"
So, instead of working bravely
ELL his task was fully done,
He played keeps for rainbow marbles,
Till the little clouds all won.
Then he climbed the black cloud mount
ans
Till he came right to the top,
Where this naughty little Sunbeam
Found most unpleasant stop.
For his aunt, the busy south-wind.
Who was out there for walk,
Met this idle little Sunbeam,
And they had little talk.
Then she led him to a corner
Where the heavy clouds were banked,
And this lazy little Sunbeam
Had his little person spanked.
TIL he said: He'd mind his papa;
Thought twas horrid playing tramp;
Guessed he'd go and light the earth up
Like useful little lamp"
So he came down in hurry,
Right among the dripping wheat;
Kissed the yellow grain and peoples
Till they all were dry and sweet.
Dried the white and stately lilies,
And the roses full of fun,
And the red and yellow tulips,
Till his work was fully done.
Then the New Moon, his sweet mother,
Laid him in her shining bow,
And he said that he was sorry
As she rocked him to and fro.

coTToN-sEED MEAL
Not Injurious to Calves If Fed in Modera-
ton.

Not Ing furious to Calves If Fed In Modera-
ton.
One of our subscribers writes that his
neighbor has lost three calves from feed
ing cotton-seed meal, as he supposes,
and he asks what there is in this feed
that should be so fatal to calves.
We have not recommended the use of
cotton-seed meal for young calves be-
cause it is not all decorticated, and the
husk of cotton seed is exceedingly tough
and indigestible, entirely unfit for a
Young calls stomach. If the cotton
seed was well decerticated we do not
think that, fed in moderation, it would
injure calf. But it is exceedingly
rich in heterogeneous matter and oil, and
the ealf's stomach can stand but little
of it. The Young calf should not be
given more than quarter to one-third
OF q pound per day. and that should be
BOILED and fed with wheat middlino.s.
Cotton-seed meal is not so laxative as
hnseed meal, and not so soothing to the
stomach. The six-months calf can safely
be fed one pound of cotton-seed meal
per day, which in nine months NAV be
increased to one and one-half pounds
per day. These rich foods should al
ways be given in small quantity to
young animals, and always mixed with
with foods poor in nitrogen. In dairy
districts, where whey is used, which is
50 poor in nitrogen and oil, little oil
meal viii make up the deficiency, and
becomes valuable addition. In COM
hination with corn meal, cotton-seed
meal has a large feeding value for those
"a year old or over. The deaths of the
calves mentioned may have been caused
by feeding too much and creating inflam-
