Importance of Bulk in Food

Although the presence of a sufficient
quantity of nutritive matters in the food
is naturally the most fundamental mat
ter for consideration. its bulk is scarcely
less important. The function of diges-
ton requires that the food shall prop
erly fill the stomach; and however large
the supply of nutritive matters may be,
their effect is imperfectly brought out if
the food be too small in bulk, and it
actually becomes more valuable if
diluted with woody fibre or some other
inert substance. On the other hand, if
a food be too bulky, the sense of reple-
ton causes the animal to cease eating
long before it has obtained a sufficient
supply of nutritive matter. 1t is most
necessary, therefore, to study the bulk
of the food, and to consider how to mix
different substances in such a manner as
to adjust the proportion of nutritive
matter to their bulk. If we examine the
nature of the mixed foods most in vogue
among feeders, it will be most generally
found that a very bulky food is combined
with another of opposite properties.
Hence roots, the most bulky of all kinds
of food, are used along with oil-cake or
bean-meal; and if, from any circum-
stances, it becomes necessary to replace
a large amount of roots by the. latter
| substance. the deficient bulk must be
replaced by hay or straw.-Bosto

already has some 800 acres OF bananas
under cultivation. The manager intends
to plant at least 700 acres more this
year; thus this plantation alone will
shortly be able to export $4,000 punches
per month, or sufficiency to keep ont

Planned the things we would do if we had

That could make us happy, beneath the

IF we had the key and the wisdom then
That we have now, we would give it again
To Him who knows all the needs of men!
IF we had the key, with our narrow sight;
Wed let in the sunshine, but never rain
And without the raindrops there'd be no
No sheaves for the harvest without the rain.
I'VE would gather the gold from sea and

We would crush the grapes for their rudy

We would gather all flowers with perfume
sweet
And trample the bitter beneath our feet .
And without the bitter there'd be no sweet!

To leave it with God. And for the rest
And for the rest, He knoweth best?"

The FIXED STARS.
The Distinction Between Them and the
Planets, or Wanderers.

Planets, or Wanderers.
The fixed stars were at first so called
to distinguish them from the planets, or
wanderers. Fog while the latter orbs
are continually changing their positions
with reference to the other heavenly
bodies, the fixed stars seem to the I'M
aided eyes to keep the same relative
positions in the celestial sphere genera
ton after generation. But by the aid
of the telescope it has been learned that
this unchangeability is not real; that
these stars really move, some of them
with great rapidity; but their distance
from us is so great that the rate OF
change is imperceptible during any
brief period of time. 1t may not be
perceived in a single century or two,
but in the duration of thousands of
years it becomes visible. That these
fixed stars are all suns of other systems
is no longer doubted by astronomers.
We can not see the planets that revolve
around them, because at their great
distance reflected light would not be
visible to us, but we believe such planets
to be there. for reasoning from II
knowledge of the works of the Creator,
he would not create these magnificent
sources of light and heat without putting
them to some use. The distances of these
sun from u system and from each
other are so great hat they may be said
to be actually beyond the measurement
not merely of all human means of COM
putting distances. but wen of finite
comprehension. The distance of a few
of them from us have been measured,
but the most are so far away that by nc
known mean can we even approximate
their immense distances. The nearest
fixed star to Il system is Alpha Cen
tauri, one of the stars in the constella-
ton of the Centaur, and is 81, $50, 000,-
000, 600 miles distant from us, OR $780,
600 times as far as from the earth to the
SUI If our sun were moved so far
away it would give us less than one
third as much light as now comes to II s
from the star. So we may believe that
| Alpha Centauri to be a sun with Il sur
face three times as great as that of ouI
''orb of day." and a volume over five
times as great. Many of the fixed stars
are probably many thousand times as
large as Il sun We may write in fig
ures the distances that can reduce such
mighty orbs to mere twinkling points of
light; we NAV speak of them as so many
billions of billions of miles, but they
convey no real idea to us. Our
minds cannot conceive of such i'm
mensity; it belongs to the u~nthinkable
knowledge of the infinite. If we needed
further evidence than that given by rea-
soning on the revelations of the tele-
scope to prove to us that the fixed stars
are suns resembling our u in general
constitution and condition, we have
found it in spectrocscopic analysis,
which shows us that the light from them
is essentially similar to that which ema.
mates from u sun, being formed by
the consumption of similar gases, oxy,
gen, hydrogen, ETC. Chicago Int,

LETTER CARRIERS LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Sixth Auditor McConville has rendered an
opinion in regard to the letter carriers leaves of
absence. He decides that they are entitled to 15
days leave in each year but that the time Of the
leave is in the discretion Of the postmaster Of
the office where the carriers serve. He holds
that the postmaster can regulate the time of
the leaves as he deems best for the good Of the
service and that a carrier who Is appointed at
the beginning of the fiscal year may take his
leave Immediately after his appointment if the
postmaster sees fit to let him off then that
the postmaster may, If he deems it best. with
hold the leave until the end of the fiscal year.
In short that the time of absence is solely at
the discretion of the postmaster.
