There are many frm believers in the
theory that most people are crazy at
times, and facts seem to support their
belief. The following, from a source
unknown to the writer, will likely re-
mind number of our readers of some
incident in their experience, which at
the time Of its occurrence seemed to
them most unaccountable: "A wise
man will step backward off porch or
into mud-puddle, great philcso-
pher will hunt for the specks that are
in his hand OF on his forehead,
hunter will sometimes shoot himself or
his dog. A working girl had been
feeding great clothing knife for ten
years One day she watched the knife
come down slowly upon her hand.
Too late she awoke out of her stupor
with one hand gone. For few
seconds her mind had failed, and she
sat by her machine "a temporary luna.
tic and had watched the knife approach
her own hand. A distinguished pro-
fessor was teaching near canal.
Walking alone one Summer he walked
as deliberately into the canal as he had
been walking along the path a second
before. He was brought to his senses
by the water and mud and the absurd
ity of the situation. He had on a
new suit of clothes and a new silk hat.
but, though the damage was thus
great, he stills laughs over the adven-
ture. Our mail collectors find in the
iron boxes along the streets all sorts of
papers aud articles which have been
put in by some hand from whose mo-
tions the mind has become detached
for second. A glove, pair Of spec

Any system of inversion which
should attach more importance to the
delineation of mans appetitites than to
the de'ineation of his aspirations, af-
fections, or humors would condemn
the ola masters Of imaginative creation
from Eschylus to Shakespeare.
Whether We hold the arts which de-
pict mankind to be, IN the words of
Mr.. Matthew Arnold, criticism of
life, or in those of Mr.. Addington
Symonds, revelation of life, tie ma
terial remains the same, with its SUBJ
limities, its beauties, it's ugliness, as
the the case may be. The finer man.
ifsstatlons must precede in import
ance the meaner: without such radi-
cal change i'll human nature as we can
hardly conceive as pertaining to an
even remote future of decline, and GER
tainly do not recognize now. In pur-
suance of his quest for true exhibit
tion of man, the reader will naturally
consider whether he feels himself un-
der the guidance of a mind who sees
further into life than he himself has
seen: or, al least, who can throw a
stronger irradiation over subjects al
ready within his ken than he has been
able to do unaided. The new light
needs not to be set off by finish of
phraseology or incisive sentences of
subtle defaition. Unfortunately the
two hundred years or so of the modern
novels development have not left the
world so full of fine examples as to
make it particularly easy to hight on
them when the first obvious list has
been run through. The, at first sight,
high-plled granary Sits down to a
very small measure of genuine corn.
The conclusion eau not be resisted,
notwithstanding what has been stated
to the contrary in SO many places, that
the scarcity of perfect novels in any
language is because the art of writing
them is as yet in It's youth, if not in
its infancy. Narrative art is neither
mature in its artistic aspect nor III lis
ethical or philosophical aspect; neither
in form nor in substance. To me, at
least, the difficulties of perfec. presen-
tation In both these kinds appear of
such magnitude that the utmost which
each generation can be expected to 90
is to add enc or two strokes toward
the selection and shaping of a possible
ultimate perfection.

THE INDIAN SCHOOL.

A bill has passed the Senate, and
will probably become law, to estab-
lish an Indian Industrial school in Ne
vada This school will be built and
maintained by the Government for the
exclusive benefit of the Indians. The
original bill named Carson as the
place at which it should be established
but the bill was amended so as to leave
the site to be hereafter determined.
II the object of the bill is to educate
the Indians, the school should he es-
tablished in this county, as there are
more Indians in Humboldt than IN any
other county in the State, according
to the census taken by Captain Dave
under the direction Of Major Powell in
1880. There are over $50 Piutes and
perhaps 200 Shoshones in Humboldt
County. These Indians receive no an
nuities from the General Government,
and never did recsive any, with the
exception Of the rations given at Fort
McDerlnit occasionally to those who
were taken to Yakimas prisoners after
the Bannock war, and subsequently
made their escape. Humboldt is CEN

both Piutes and Shoshones, and a

EVOLUTION IN CIVILIZED MAN,

of Darwin and embodied in the

saie, gives more lives than she can
support: there are more individuals
requiring nourishment than there is
food, Only those live that obtain
sufficient nutrinent, and only those
live that find habitat. OF the mnl-
titude of germs, some perish ON the
rocks, some languish in the darkness.
some are drowned in the waters, and
some are devoured by other living be-
Jugs. A few live because they f-'i not
upon the rocks, but are implanted Ia
the soils; because they are not buried
in the darkness, but are bathed in she
sunlight; because they are not over
whelmed by deep waters, bat are
nourished by gentle rains; or because
they are not devoured by the hungry,
but dwell among the living. A few
live because they are the fasorites Of
surrounding circumstances. In the
more stately phrase Of the philosophy
of evolution, they are adapted to the
environment Evolution, or progress
in life, is accomplished among ami
mals or plants by killing the weaker
the less fayored--and by saving the
stronger and more favored. Many
must be killed because there are too
many, and so the best only are pre-
served. These little above the aver.
age are saved, and this is called
natural selection. But this general
statement must be followed little
further, that its deeper significance
may be grasped" Major Powell then
illustrated the operation of the law of
evolution by showing tho infinite
variety of conditions presented by the
earth as the home of living beings,
seine sf the ways IN which competition
for life is CARRIED on. ana the manner
IN which plants become more perfect,
and animals advance. Tho endeayor
has been made" he said, ''to show
what the struggle for existence means,
and the part which competition plays
IN biotic evolution. Competition
among plants and animals is fierce,
merciless and deadly; from competition
fear and pain are born; out of compe-
titlon come anger and hatred aud
feroclty. But it must not be forgotten
that from this same competition come
fhings more beautiful and loyely--the
wing Oh butterfly, the plumageof the
bird, and the fur Of the beast; the
hum OF the honey-bee, the song Of the
nightingale, and the chatter of the
squirrel. So good aud evil dwell to-
eether. The evolution Of institutions

traced from the der-right through
the rigdt of the noble, by constant and
long endeavor, into the right Of the

man annually takes 10000, 900 or TO-
600, 900 Goldfish from the sea around
the shores Of Newfoundland. But
even that quantity seems small when
we consider that each cod yields about
5000, 900 eggs each season, and that
even 5000, 900 have been found in the
roe of a single cod. Were the 60, 0,000,-

of 100, ,000, 900, 100000 young Goldfish.
Other fish, Though not equaling the
cod, are wonderfully productive. A
herring weighing six or seven ounces
is provided with about $4,000 eggs.

There is nothing the matter with
American sheep. They grow large and
robust The meat is nutritious,
healthy, aud palatable, and the grow
ing demand for our lamb and mutton
abroad attests their excellence. Their
skins are Of good texture also, and the
wool is as flexible and of as good
quality as any foreign growth Yet it
Is fact that as fine goods can not be
made from American wool as from
the German or French. The cause is
of simple explanation. The sheep

hills of Vermont, Massachusetts, and

their wool grows luxuriantly. This
growth is aided by an oleaginous auid
secreted in the skin, and when the
wool is sheared small globules of a
glutinous and sticky nature are found
adherirg 70 the surface Of the hairs.
These are treated with strong alkalies
to remove the excrescences; but the
wool feels rough to the touch, alto
gether different from that grown on
sheep in the southern countries of Ger
many. Inspection of cur cleansed
wool with the microscope reveals cups
or crater-shaped protuberances still ad-
herring to the hairs. The alkali has
destroyed the gluten, but not the hard
bottom crust Of the globules. Chemi-
calls strong enough to remove these
affect injuriously the crispy surface of
the hairs. The epidermis is broken
and destroyed in places, thus weaken
ing the fiber and impairing the
strength and hexibility Of the wool
These manifest themselves in the
dyeing. With all the care possible
after the wool is woven into cloth
there is lack of softness to the touch
existing in the iine foreign product.
The dyes will wear off first at the cup
like excreseences and show a mottled
appearance, and if the cups have been
all removed will wear pale where the

leading wooden manufacturers sent
some of the best American wool to the
most noted German manutactory,
where it was subjected In the dyeing
house to exactly the same treatment as
the German wool. The manifest diff
ference in the outcome settled the
question finally. What effect sheep
raising in the equable climate of Ari-
zona or Southern California might
have may be inferred from the facts
gwen above. But it must be remem
bered that the profit of sheep-raising
consists in the fact that land useful
for nothing else is good enough for
sheep. They will thrive ON rocky,
stony land, with scant vegetation,
where cattle and horses would starve.

George Stephenson went one day

heat, but now the weather was be-

curiosity were aroused. What could
the little thing want? He went at
once to the room and opened the
window to see. The window opened,
the bird flew straight TO one particu-
lar spot in the room, where Stepen.
son saw a nest-that little BIRDS
nest. The poor bird looked at it,
took the sad story in at glance,
and fluttered down to the floor, BIO
ken hearted, almost dead.
Stephenson drawing near to look
was filled with uDspeakable sorrow.
There sat the mother bird, and under
it four tiny little ones-mother and
young-all apparently dead. Ste.

lifted the exhausted bird from the
floor, the worm it had SO long and so
brayely struggled to bring to its
home and young, still in its beak,
and carefully tried to revive it, but
all his efforts proved In vain. 1t
speedily died, and the man mourned
many day. At the same time the
force of George Stephenson's mind
was changing the face of the earth,
yet he was sad at the sight of this
dead family, and was deeply grieved
because he himself had unconscious
