Northern Limit of CornGrOwth.

On the northeast shores of Asia corn
cannot be cultivated at fifty degrees
north latitude, although in the interior
it natures as far north as siXty-two de.
grees. On the eastern shores of America
the northern limit of its growth is fifty
degrees, and on the western shores it
reaches about fifty-seven degrees, while
in the intermediate country it is known
to grow as far as siXty-five degrees The
fact that it thrives farther north IN the
interior of continents than on the shores
is thought by NJ. Buysman to be due not
alone to the cooling influences of ice ac.
cumulations on the coasts, but to de-
pend largely on the greater amount of
sunlight received in the dry regions far
from the oceans. In Norway corn grows
in latitude seventy degrees, the climate
being not only warmed by proximity to
the Gulf stream, but the skies being
very clear as well. Even in the most
northern regions, where the shade tenn
perature is very low, vegetation may
grow in sheltered spots exposed to the
sun, and luxuriant scurvy grass has been
found on Walden Island, beyond eighty
degrees north latitude. london NeDs.

"When She Will She Will"

al thought only few men were up to
the winter bathing mark" observed the
reporter. The bath maa laughed scorn-
fully. "When lady makes up her
mind to bathe every day in the year, he
said, nothing can stand her off. I've
seen meE who would come here on cold
mornings, undress and walk to the
waters edge, but the minute it touched
their toes, race back and get into their
clothes again. Not so with women.
When they are in bathing trim it means
bathing and nothing short of tidal
wave will stop them. Here comes the
daisy bather of the lot. I've seen that
girl here when it was so cold that to even
look at the water used to give me the
shakes. Now, what do you think first
induced that lady to bathe all the time2
For the pure love of it9 No, sir She
was getting too fat. She tried every
thing-dieting, exercise, and medicine,
but nothing would take her down. At
last she dropped on sea bathing, and it
fetched her. She is nice and slim now,
though plump enough, but when she
came here first she was as fat as a butter
ball. wish all the fat ladies in the city
would have her courage, and our winter
business would be worth something. ~

EmpIoyment and Education.

ga good education, says DR.. McCosh,
Qualities man to do dozen different
things, where an ignorant man could do
only one. Education also enables man
to rise in any sphere OF labor in which he
is employed" The truth of this is espe-
cially valuable in these days of change in
vocations. Science is specializing every
employment; mechanism is taking the
place of manual labor, and in this
approaching readiustment of vocations,
will prove the only individual safeguard.
What industrial future is there for the
man who can use his hands only when a
machine is invented that takes the place
of thousand pair of hands| Obviously,
the practical need of intellectual qualif-
cation is far greater in this age and will
continue to increase with the progress of
humanity. 1t is the tendency OF every
trade to become an art, and of every arti-
san to become an artist in his speciality.
And in this lies the true secret of the
great need of industrial education.-

TMO AstOnIshing Robperles.

One of the most singular most anus
ing, and at the same time, for the vic
Tins most annoying robberies, occurred
in our city Saturday. Two elderly ladies
on Michigan street were looking at the
circus procession pass by, So intent
were they in gazing upon the dazzling
pageant that not only their eyes but their
mouths were wide open, aud while in
this awe-stuck condition they were each
startled by the slap of rough hand over
their mouths. OF course they were mad,
and looked around with great indigna-
tion to see who cO&ld be guilty of such
a rude act, and it was not until they at
tempted to speak, in order TO properly
express their wrath, that they discovered
their false teeth was gone. The thieves
had looked into their Wide open mouths,
and saw that the plates containing tho
teeth were of gold, and they wanted
them. South Bead (Ha,) Tribune

The Laughing Plant.

1t is called the laughing plant, because
its seeds produce effects like those pro-
duced by laughing gas. The flowers are
of bright yellow, and the seed pods are
soft and woody, while the seeds resemble
small black beans, and only two or three
grow in pod. The natives dry and pull
yerize them, and the powder, if taken in
small doses, makes The soberest person
behave like circus clown or madman,
for he will dance, sing and laugh most
boisterously, and cut the most fantastic
capers, and be in an uproariously ridicu-
lous condition for about an hour. When
the excitement ceases the exhausted ex.
hibitor of these antics falls asleep. and
when he awakes he has not the slightest
remembrance of his frisky doings. ~

THE MARCH OF THE CHILDREN

List TO tho sound OF the drummingl
Gayly the children are comingl
Sweet as the smile OF a fairy;
Fresh as the blossoms they carry;
Pride Of the parents who love them;
Pure as the azure above them;
Free as the winds that caress them;
Bright as the sunbeams that bless them.
List to the voice-echoes ringingl
Sweeter than birds they are singing:
Thoughts that TO virtue invite them
We'd unto airs that delight them;
Truths that their future will cherish,
Soulplauted, never to pershl
Only TO senses completer
Heavens choicest music were sweeter.
Virtue unconscious, and pretty,
Walks through the streets of the city,
See the gay baunerets ilyingl
Nottoes and titles undying;
Truths, dearly hallowed and olden,
Braided in strands that are golden;
Words for the spirits desiring;
Sentences sweetly inspiring.
When, in voice of carresslng,
Christ gave the children His blessing,
Twas not for one generation,
But for each epoch and nation.
SO through the present it fingers,
Shed from His bountiful fingers;
So unto these it is given
Types of tho angels in heaven.
