Early Rising.

There is class of superstitions borne
down to us from the grabbed times Of
our Puritan ancestry which / fancy we
shall also somewhat shamefacedly own.
They were the daily maxims which
formed part of the teaching in every
genuine New England home, and their
permanence, as part of our mental
constitution, is an encouraging circum-
stance to educators, who sometimes are
inclined to think that even line upon
line and precept upon precept fail to
make their impression upon the way
ward mind of youth. To remove this
fear we stand as living monuments,
boldly avowing, first, that we find it
constantly difficult to convince our
selves-though our reason tells us that
we are abused-that it is not moral
duty to rise before, or at least with, the
sun. Day by day, as we descend to our
eight O'Clock or nine O'Clock breakfast,
we are conscious of a certain sense of
moral turpitude which we know to be
unreasonable. 1t is in the effort to
shake off this sense, which is only the
remnant of an old superstition, that
write. The general axioms on the SUBJ
iect of early rising, which helped to
make the New England Primer and
the Farmers Almanac a never-failing
source of supposed improvement, and
which were afterward accommodated by
Franklin, do not apply to the present
day nor to city life. What is gained
even for useful work by rising at six,
and then being obliged to take nap
in the middle of the day. Why not do
up all our sleeping at once and have a
clear sweep for work? If, again, one
could carefully rake up and cover the
embers of his fire at nine p. NJ. and
sleep the sleep of the righteous till six,
he might possibly rise at six, or even at
five, though why, even in that case,
any sane person should insist on doing
two hours work before eating, and call
such action virtue, could not under
stand. Circumstances alter rules as
well as cases, which is what we of
Puritan stock find it hard to understand.
| myself know two young women of
New England birth and training who,
though they go into much evening
society, and are frequently awake at
the New York winter, yet persist in
DelnS punCludl every uOrnlnS dI lHe
half-past seven breakfast of the family.
True, they have no appetites; true,
they take long maps in the afternoon
true, they break down every year by
March; yet they CALAMITY return to the
assault every autumn, and would feel
ashamed and guilty if they did other
wise. So strong is the force of super
stition In the future more perfect
days it will be considered a sin to awake
any one from sleep, except in cases OF
life and death, and our grandchildren
may perhaps be free from the inherited
weakness of believing because the
flowers and the chickens and the birds
wake when the sun does, that therefore
a human being should do so. BY what
logic do we select the one action OF
waking as suitable for our imitation?-

Ocean Depths and Mountain Heights.

If it be remembered that the great
est depth of the ocean is only about
five miles, and that the height of the
highest mountain is likewise about five
miles above the level of the sea, while
the globe itself has a diameter of 5000
miles, the comparative insignificance
of all the surface inequalities of the
earth is at once forced on our atten-
ton. A surface sixty-six feet in
diameter, having on its surface de-
preston of one inch, or a globe one
foot in diameter with a groove on its
surface one-siXtieth of an nch in depth,
would represent on a true scale the
greatest inequality of mountain height
and ocean depth on the surface of the
earth. Misconceptions often arise,
and erroneous conclusions are fire.
quently arrived at when these proper
tons are not rigidly borne in mind.
But, unimportant as these surface
features may appear when viewed with
reference to the diameter of the earth,
or to the superficial area of an ocean
several thousand miles in extent, still
to the geologist and physical geogra-
pher the elevations and depressions,
foldings and dislocations, vertical and
lateral, which form these inequalities
are truly gigantic, immense, profound;
and the more they are studied the
more do they appear to be the result of
changes taking place in very definite
and orderly manner in the course of

Climates of the Polar Regions.

The theory has long been advanced
that the poles of greatest cold are not
coincident with the terrestrial poles,
and that the lowest mean temperature
is to be found in the region of the Lena
River in Siberia This idea was en-
couraged by the fact, among others,
that the Polaris party reported milder
climate at Thank God Harbor than
Kane experienced about two hundred
miles further SOUTH" The part of the
argument, however, which relates to
the Lena River Valley, is directly con-
tradicted by Lieutenant Greely's obser-
vations for two years at Lady Franklin
Bay, where he found the lowest mean
temperature yet observed about four
degrees Fahrenheit. Grinnell Land,
therefore, as far as we yet know, is the
coolest part of the Northern Henri
sphere. Danish Greenland, whose mean
temperature hovers around the freezing
point, is buried under hundreds of feet
of ice, simply because about two inches
of ice forms in winter more than is
thawed out in summer. The authori-
ties in terrestrial physics agree that it
would require only slight change in
climatic conditions to remove Green
lands ice blanket and cover the land
with verdure. Were it not for the
presence of these immense ice masses
constantly refrigerating the air the
summers of Danish Greenland would
be as warm as those of England. Mr..
Wallace is of the opinion that if the
two Arctic currents that flow south along
both sides of Greenland were diverted
from that country, the great ice mantle
would rapidly disappear and the coun-

The Duty of Good Living.

{" The average individual in this coun-
try lives better than the average indi-
vidual elsewhere" says New Yorker,
who lives well. g Take it in England.
The well-to-do man is great on chops,
but the poor man never has chops.
They don't have meat at the prices a
poor man can pay, for they keep out
American cattle in order to keep up
the prices of the English beef. For
myself, live generously" he con-
tinued do not believe that man
can continue long under the strain of
complicated business affairs and do good
work unless he keeps his physical sys-
tenn in good working order | am shy
of stimulants, but l believe in taking,
and do take, plenty of the best food
| can get l have regard for regu-
larity, but do not believe man should
enslave himself to good habit What do
eat? Well pretty much anything that is
good. | am strong advocate OF mixed
diet, and while / am as far as possible
from being vegetarian, eat plenty OF
vegetables. Meat is as necessary to me
as any other food, for although in the tor
rid zone man may get along well with
out it, in this climate, at least, he needs
meat. Yet meat diet exclusively is
as bad as an exclusively vegetable diet.
Fruits, too, are an important element
of proper eating. The various acids of
the different fruits are all valuable to
the wonderful mechanism of the human
frame. You may certainly put me
down as thorough believer in the wis
dom of taking the best possible care of
the body. Human life is worth COM
paratively little unless it is spent under
the best attainable conditions"
