WONDERS OF THE SEA.

The sea occupies three-ffths of
the surface of the earth. At the
depth of about $500 feet waves are
not felt. The temperature is the
same, varying only trifle from the
ice of the pole to the burning sun of
the equator. A mile down, the wa
ter has pressure of over a ton to
the square inch. If box six feet
deep were filed with sea water and
allowed to evaporate under the sun,
there would be two inches of salt
left on the bottom. Taking the av-
erage depth of the ocean to be three
miles, there would be a layer of pure
salt 23O feet thick on the bed of the
Atlantic. The water is colder at the
bottom than at the surface. In the
many hays on the coast of Norway
the Water often freezes at the bottom
hefore it does above.
Waves are very deceptive. 10
look at them in a storm one would
think the water travelled. The wa
ter stays in the same place, but the
motion goes on. Sometimes IN
storms these waves are forty feet

THE SLEEP OF CHILDREN.

This is scarcely secondary matter
to food and dress. We know how
few days one can retain their reason
or life if sleep be utterly prevented.
There are fearful old tales of deaths
from this torture alone.
Firstly, children, at least nervous
child, should sleep alone. Its strong
er bedfellow draws upon its stength
in some as yet unexplained manner,
and one will be too hot and the other
too cold with the same blankets.
An aged or weary person also ex-
hausts the vitality Of child. In
most elegant homes we see the doub-
lie beds being replaced by two single
ones, side by side. The change has
wrought incredible marvels in the
health and temper of children.
Again, all children and most ad-
ults should have beds which yield to
the body. Children are much more
likely to suffer in this regard, their
prettiest cradles and cribs often hav
ing slat or stiff wicker bottoms which
would make even our stronger mus
cles ache. Twice as long sleeps would
they take and wake smiling, did we
give them the most elastic woven spi-
raj wire with not too heavy bed
atop. The old-fashioned cord-bot-
toned bedsteads were poorly replac-
ed by any Stats or cheap springs; Or
the light stir-up-able straw beds by
their modern substitutes of moss, cot
ton, excelsior or indeed tied mattress
es of any sort except curled hair.
The English have followed none of
these cheap fashions of misery, and,
indeed, every thrifty English, Irish.
German or Scandinavian girl emf
grant used to bring her feather bed
knowing that bed must yield to al
parts of the body to rest it.
A hair mattress in two parts weigh.
ing little more than thirty pounds
over feather bed on a woven wire
mattress is the ideal bed. The single
wire mattress costs but three dollars
and with merely a comforter is bet
than the average chiidren's bed.
A nice cradle or crib bottom Cal
be made of piece of the woven wir'
tackled on, or of elastic webbing tack
ed across at distances of four inches
If beds are not yielding, children will
lie on their backs, heating them mucl
more than is feared in soft bed
If the clothing is fitly loosened an
removed, as should be even in da
maps, the longer maps and the free
), dom from taking cold through pei
spired clothing when awakened wi
amply compensate in time for th
few minutes spent.

high, and travel fifty miles an hour,
more than twice as fast as the swift
est steamer. The distance from val
ley to valley is generally fifteen
times the height, hence wave five
feet high will extend over seventy
five feet of water. The force of the
sea dashing ON Bell Rock is said to
be seventeen tons for each square
yard. Evaporation is wonderful
power in drawing the water from the
sea. Every year a layer of the en-
tire sea, fourteen feet thick, is taken
up into the clouds. The winds bear
their burden to the land, and the wa
ter comes down in rain upon the
fields, to flow back at last through
rivers. The depth of the sea pre-
sents an interesting problem. If the
Atlantic were lowered 1854 feet, the
distance from shore to shore would
be half as great, or 1900 miles. If
lowered little more than three miles
say $3.50 feet, there would be a
road of dry land from Newfoundland
to Ireland. This is the plain on
which the great Atlantic cables were
laid. The Mediterranean is compar-
atlvely shallow. A drying up of 660
feet would leave three different seas,
and Africa would be joined with
Italy. The British Channel is more
like pond, which accounts for its
choppy waves.
1t has been found difficult to get
correct soundings of the Atlantic. A
midshipman of the navy overcame
the difficulty, and shot weighing thir-
| ty pounds carries down the line. A
hole is bored through the sinker,
through which rod of iron is passed
moving easily back and forth. In
the end of the bar cup is dug oul
and the inside coated with lard. The
bar is mades fast to the line and 6
sling holds the shot on. When the
bar which extends below the bal
touches the earth, the sling unhook:
and the shot slides off. The lard il
the end of the bar holds some of th,
sand, or whatever may be on th'
bottom, and a drop shuts over th,
cup 10 keep the water from washing
the sand out. When the ground il
reached shock is felt as If an elec
trio current had passed through tn
line.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

A friendship that makes the least
noise is very often the most useful;
for which reason I would prefer a
prudent friend to jealous one
addison.
We ought to attempt no more than
what is in the compass of our genius,
and according to our vein.-Dryden.
He that does good to another man
does also good to himself; not only
in the consequence, but in the very
act of doing it; for the conscience
of well-doing is an ample reward
Seneca.
Work with all the ease and speed
you can without breaking your head.
Two things speak much of the wis.,
dom of the nation: good laws and a
prudent management of them.-StiU-
inafeet.
To know the pains of power we
must 60 to those who have it; to
know its pleasures we must 60 to
those who are seeking it; the pains
of power are real, its pleasures inn
aginary.-Cohom.
1t is fault in a multitude of
preachers that they utterly neglect
method in their harangues.-Dr. I.
Watts.
Pride that dimes on vanity sups on
contempt. Benjamin Franklin.
Simplicity, without which no hui
man performance can arrive at per-
fection.-Saoyt.
Liars are the cause of all the sins
and crimes in the world.-Epictetus.
The reason why SO many marriages
are happy is because young ladies
spend their time in making nets, not
in making cages.-Saoift.
Surely there is something in the
unruffied calm of nature that over
| awes our little anxieties and doubts ;
the sight of the deep blue sky and
the clustering stars above seem to
impart a quiet to the mind.-Jona-

An Old, Old Story.

In distant days, fore Newton taught
The streams to run down hill,
A quaint and loving couple dwelt
Hard by a ruined mill,
The house, within, was lovely as
A fairy's dwelling place;
The wife well skilled in household lore,
And sweet and bright her face.
She never longed for wealth and state:
More happy far her lot,
Than those proud DANES who looked with scor
Upon this little cot.
The husband brought, to aid his hands,
The skill acquired from sages,
Nor scorned to use the wisdom gained
From reading Natures pages.
For earthly wants must find place
Within this world of ours,s
We cannot sip from honeyed dew
Nor dine upon the flow ers.
"Dear love- she said, 'I grieve so much
The circumstance to mention,
But making tea for You tonight
Was truly my intention.
If now the pail you'll take and climb tos
Top of yonder mountain,
Beneath an oak trees tender shade
You'll find sparkling fountain %
''Dear one,'' he said, ''you surely know
Your mandates I'll obey.
But take your hat and come with me
To cheer me on the way"
Thus hand in hand the lovers climbed
The steep and rugged hill,
My struggling muse would fain relate
The story told to Gill.
s'You know" he said, in accents soft,
"Youve ever called me frank,
And as cannot speak in rhyme,
I'll talk to you in blank"
ssTo see the wor6ing sons of earth
In sober garbs, and feel that life
In all its beauty, opes to them
But sombre views, is straying tar
From truth. For Nature loves them all,
And gives to each a recompense
For toil-worn hands and weary limbs
The slothfnl ones have never seen
The beaming face of rising Sol
Peep from a misty veil OF red,
Unseen, by them, the rainbow bright,
On every dewy blade of grass,
Aurora's foot falls wake them not
As o'er the world she lightly trips.
Their ears are closed to music rare
Poured from the throats of songsters gay
But Natures sons may read the book
Presented to their gaze alone.
The sparkling eye, and healthful glow
Are given for work so bravely done,
The desert waste, by them reclaimed,
Buds and blossoms the rose.
In vain the ocean hides his pearls
In briny deeps and caskets strong;
The sons of toll in armors quaint
From tricksy elves his secrets learn"
The legend here goes on TO state
A rolling stone came down
Meath the unheeding feet of Jack
Who fell and broke his crown.
Poor faithful Gill one moment stood,
To grief was turned her laughter,
The maniac's fire was in her eye
AS she ''came tumbling after.''
Ine SouS, themselves were SfleVeu TO see
'tThat Natures laws were hid in night
To chaos depths their mandate went
"Let Newton be- and all was light"
No more the streams up hill do run;
The apples seek the ground;
Around the centre by a law
All objects now are bound.
A marble shaft to mark the place
To travellers known so well,
For pilgrims feet have worn the ground
Whereon this couple fell.
And childish lips tbs tale repeat,
And those whose locks are hoary,
For no one ever tired gets
Of listening to the story,
GLOW Jack and Gill went up the hill
To get a pail of water,
How Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Gin came tumbling after.''
