Life ON the Planet Mars.

Prof Lockyer is of the opinion that
human life on the planet Mars may be
very much like life on the earth the
light cannot be so bright, but the or
gans Of sight may be so much more
susceptible as to make the vision quite
as good. The heat is probably less, as
the polar SHOWS certainly extend fur
ther, but by no means less in proper
ton to the lessened power Of the solar
rays. He agrees with others that sew
eral very remarkable seas, including
inland seas, some of them connected
and some not connected by straits with
still larger seas, are now defnable in
The southern hemisphere, In which, as
in the case also with the earth, water
seems to be much more widely spread
than in the northern hemisphere.
There is, for example, a southern sea
exceedingly like the Baltic in shape
and there is another and still more re-
uarkable sea, now defined by the OBJ
,rvations Of many astronomers. one

Hunting tho Reindeer.

describing the methods practised by
the Esquimaux in hunting the Rein

New York Times: Advantage is
taken Of the RENDERS slight aversion
in fact, almost fondness-for the
water by those natives near the Attic
Sea who are not provided with fire.
arms. Wherever there is large lake
or a wide river they build little stone
monuments looking as much like the
human figure as possible, about 100
yards apart, along the crest Of a ridge
extending obliquely into the water,
and inland probably two or three miles.
If band Of reindeer is found grazing
inside the angle formed by the shore
and line of stone monuments a Skin
mlsh line Of Esquimau hunters is de-
ployed around them, and the deer, sup
posing that the stone piles are also hui
man beings on the other side, take
readily to the water, where the hunters
pursue them in their kiabs, or light
skin canoes, spearing them or shooting
them with arrows. Our sledge jour
ney of nearly a year in length was
nearly ended and a terrible gale was
raging which rendered travel impossi-
BILE. There was no meat within, and
out in the storm all the hunters went,
most of them returning within an
hour and reporting it was useless to at

ing daunted, Toolooah continued his
search to the south, and there he
found the tracks Of three reindeer,
which he followed at dog trot in a
wide circle, which brought him north
Of the camp about the same distance
six or seven miles. This made STun
Of some 10 or Is miles in all. He Sc
cured all the reindeer and by nightfal

my best hunter made, who that day
closed the total score of the expedition
at $50 and 236 for himself.

Read Less and Think More.

The late Charles O'Conor. perhaps
the most profound lawyer New York
city has produced, gave a piece of adj
vice to a young man which is as valua-
BILE as any legal opinion for which the
distinguished lawyer ever received a
fee. A lad wrote to him, giving a
long list Of books which he had already
gone through, and asking advice as to
a course Of reading. Mr.. O'Conor re-
piled that che had not only not read,
but had not known even by name one
half Of the books his correspondent ap-
peared to have read. He would not
therefore, undertake to advise him
what to read, but he could safely ad-
wise him to read less and think more {"
This anecdote comes from a recent
number Of the Century.
The advice was not, however, origi-
nal with Mr.. O'ConOr. In the Phila-
delphia Ledger some time since an OIL
der authority was quoted to the same
purport. Probably the same sound
wisdom could be traced to the time OF
the invention of printing. "Read less
(of trash and think more" has a pith-
iness which makes the advice all the
more easy to keep in mind. And fol-
lowing it would enable the temperate"
reader not only to think, but to re-
member more Of what he reads.
Remembering more would give
a practical value to the ideas
acquired and the facts obtained.
Perhaps Mr.. O'Conor's opinion
on reading is to be qualified little
by his practice. 1t seems that his
reading was very much confined to the
purpose Of his profession. No doubt
this limit increased his wonderful
efficiency in his pursuits. But It
would be great abridgement Of mental
freedom to restrict the reader to his
speciality and forbid excursions outside
of that. The mind is enlarged by a
variety Of topics, and there is scarcely
any subject, however foreign to
persons daily life, from
which he may not derive some advan-
tage. There is nothing in the way of
which stands so much alone
that it cannot be illustrated by other
and indeed apparently dissimilar mat
ters. Still the caution holds good
to most readers-"read less and think

A letter to the Rockville md.
Advocate says My FIRST observation
Of them was in 1851. A thrifty young
sugar maple tree was apparently
ruined by their missions, but, having
been well trimmed, 1t is now one of
the finest trees in the town. Their
next visit was in 1868. On the 9Oth
of May they were first noticed, ascend
ing the trees in great numbers at
night. Early in the morning they
came out Of their shells, and, after
being warmed and turned black by the
sun, few of. For about a week they
came up in great numbers, the ground
being filled with round holes, as though
countless canes had been stuck in and
withdrawn. The air was filled with
their noise, and in about two weeks
from their first appearance they had
pierced the limbs Of bushes and ten
der trees, particularly the chestnuts.
They begin to die off rapidly, and by
last of June but few were seen or
heard. The damage done was slight,
compared with their countless num-
bers Their noise was at its height
about the middle Of June. The male
only makes the noise, by means Of a
tight, parchment-like membrane I'M
der the wing, moved BY internal fibers
or muscles. The eggs are deposited
side by side in the Sits or punctures
made in the limbs about a dozen in
one place. and each female laying
about 100 eggs. Hogs and chickens
fatten on the loeusts, and It was no
ticed that the corn was undisturbed
by crows, and very few were seen. as
they found abundance Of food for
themselves and their young in both
the fat grub and winged insect.
The only damage done was by the
limbs Of young trees breaking off
where they had been punctured.
Their being poisonous TO beast or hui
man is a myth.
The only care requisite is, that if
about to plant out young orchard,
the trees should have been long
enough out to bear having the young
or limbs trimmed back, or else should
be left until 1886. Sometimes on the
borders of two districts there will be a
visitation twice in II years, as some
few get over the line The seventeen

Amount Of Exercise Reauired.

DR.. Parkes has calculated that The
amount Of exercise a man in health
should take regularly is equal to walk
ing nine miles a day on level ground.
The amount of walking done in walk
ing about the house and other domes-
It'd duties may probably be put down
as three miles, which win leave only
walk Of six miles per diem on level
ground. If the ground is billy, this
will be still more reduced, so that it
certainly does not seem an excessive
amount to advise. The proper guam
tity must, however vary greatly with
circumstances. Females, for example,
will not take as much as men. In
winter more may be taken than in
summer. In youth, when the body is
undergoing its most active develop
ment, care must be taken that every
muscle is exercised in its turn. Hence
the free use of gymnastics, games. and
sports at this age is most beneficial
In advanced lifethe power and incli-
nation for exercise both fail, but even
then every effort should be made to
prevail upon the individual TO take
some amount of exercise and to post
pone the evil day when he win become
completely bedridden. Such an amount
of exercise is in all cases necessary as
will keep the mucles in good health,
and enable them to meet the physical
requirements of the rest ofthe body

A New Story of Tom Corwin.

1t was seldom that Corwin made anv
enemies, especially in his own party.
On one occasion, however, he chang ed
one of his warmest admirers into a ram
pant Democrat with bit of sarcasm.
1t was in the campaign of AZ. He
spoke in Lancaster and stopped at the
principal hotel, kept by Wing. The
biscuits seem to have been heavy enough
to attract the Wagner Boys attention.
When Corwin was about to leave for
the next town the landlord was all
smiles and good wishes, and said:
"Mr. Corwin, if there is anything
can do to aid you in defeating Wilson
Shannon, you have only to mention it. ="
That's very generous, said Cor win.
"But I mean it," said Boniface.
Only tell me what can do and 1 will
do it."
There is only one thing you can do,
replied Corwin, ''but dislike to refer
to SC delicate matter"
"Out with it, Mr.. Corwin; out with
it. I'll do anything for the cause.
Only mention it, that's ALL"
well Mr.. Landlord, I'll tell you
what you can do to defeat Mr.. Shan
on. He speaks here next Thursday, I
believe"

"And then feed him on the same kind
Of biscuits that we had this morning.

and he will weigh SO much that he can't
run at all"
Corwin whipped up his horses and
was off, but the landlord had under
gone political transformation. From
A Wing he changed to Democrat, and
was "fernist" Tom Corw1n for the rest
Of his life.
