CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.

A good work, receiving less help than it
should, is that done by the various So
cieties for the prevention of cruelty to
children. This work is not a charity in
it's strictest sense; for charity often pau
perizes, and the effort here is to prevent
pauperism, the intention being 30 to
guard and protect children while of ten
der years and frames that instead of grow
ing up to swell the viler Glasses, as they
might if left to themselves or chance
they shall be given the opportunity of
becoming good people, and therefore
good citizens. Every dollar spent upon
them, then, is so much money saved to
the governing powers, who would other
wise have to spend that sum in the cost
Of providing police and penalty. More
over, just so much wealth is added to the
community as this person made worthy
may create by thrift and industry. In
addition to these considerations should
be reckoned the satisfaction felt in the
prevention of positive suffering to the
weak and delicate little beings, too young
and ignorant, and sometimes too loving,
to protect themselves.

SOME FACTS ABOUT EGGS.

The discourse on eggs which Mr.. Sim
monds has just delivered before the So
ciety of Arts is we'll worthy of the most
careful consideration. Eggs, according
to the lecturer, constitute a neglected
mine of wealth. They are the one article
of agricultural produce for which the de-
mand is unlimited, and perhaps the only
one in which we might, did we choose,
defy foreign competition. They not only
mean money, but they command prices
that admit of profit compared with which
beef and mutton are of little account and
wheat barely worth mentioning. Hens,
for those who know how to utilize them,
lay eggs which, il not made of gold, are
quite capable of being turned INTO that
metal, when they are retaila bic all the year
round, one mon th with another, at some
thing not much short of penny apiece
while the eggs of ducks will bring a still
more remunerative price.
Eggs are a meal in themselves. Every
element necessary to the support of man
is contained within the limits of an egg
shell, in the best proportions and in the
most palatable form. Plain boiled, they
are wholesome The masters of French
cookery, however, affirm that it is easy to
dress them in more than 500 different
ways, each method not only economical
but salutsry in the highest degree. No
honest appetite ever yet rejected an egg
in some guise. 1t is nutriment in the
most portable form and in the most con-
centrated shape. Whole nations Of man.
kind rarely touch any other animal food.
Kings eat them plain as readily as do the
humble tribesmen.

the Kaiser Ludwig sat at his meat with

GOOD MANNERS.

Good manners are not SO common as
to be OF no weight in society, like good
spelling or good English. One may be
rich as the Rothschilds, one may be
highly educated, and not possess them,
or one may have them In degree The
Duo de Morny's definition of a polite
man was, zone who listens with interest
to things he knows all about, when they
are told by person who knows nothing
about them;" but this is but one phase
of his character. Good manners are
more serviceable than passport, than q
bank account, or lineage. They make
friends for us; they are more potent than
eloquence and genius without them.
They undoubtedly spring from kind
heart, and are the dictates Of good hu-
NOR. They are not something to be
learned from fashion news and books
of etiquette; they are not imported or
borrowed. The good-mannered person
does not tell us our failings, does not
lecture ue; he does not merely wear his
manners because they are becoming or
polite, but because he can no more ex-
list without them than without air. They
resemble the antique paint ted glass of AL
bert Durer's day, in which the colors
we're not laid on, but stained through;
they are p art his of character; theyare as
much gift as poetry is to another, or
the inventive faculty. There are those
who may be said to have positive gen.
ius for them, as another has for CONVEX
sation; they know how to sway others
by them. Polite people have an influence
that is not due to their position or pos
sessions, to their learning of their wit.
There are those who believe that good
manners are only another name for good
clothes and good food and good homes
with the modern conveniences and luxu-
ries, that they are talkative and emphatic
and SNOWY; but we do not always find
that the best-mannered people live in
palaces. Good manners are something
which nobody can afford to do without,
no matter how rich or powerful or intel
lectual he may be. They add to beauty
they detract from personal ugliuess, they
cast a glamor over defects, they ameliorate
the round shoulders of this person and
the squint of the other; where they exist,
imagination supplies deficiencies of every
other attraction. They are contagious,
like the measles, but they must be more
than Skin deep to be OF any service.

BABIES OF THE ANTIPoDEs.

Thomas Stevens, one Of the editors of
Outing, thus describes, in Babyhood, a
curious sight that he saw in China:
"One day when travelling through
China on my bicycle tour around the
world, I came upon very novel and in
teresting sight. 1t is the first thing Of
the kind I ever saw or heard about. My
overland journey led me through many
out-of. the.way districts where the people
are primitive and curious in many re-
spects. In one of these obscure commu-
mites, in the foot hills of the Mae-Ling
Mountains, saw about twenty Chinese
infants tethered to stakes on a patch of
greensward, like SO many goats or pet
lambs. The length of each baby's tether
was about ten feet, and the bamboo
stakes were set far enough apart 30 that
the babies wouldn't get all tangled up.
Each baby had sort of girdle or KAN
naerbund around its waist, and the end of
the tether-string was tied to the back of
this. Some of the little celestials were
crawling about on all-fours; others were
taking their first lessons in the feat of
standing upright by stesdying themselves
against the stake they were tied to.
"What queer little Chinese mortals
they all looked, to be sure picketed out
on the grassland like lot of young
calves whose mothers were away for the
dayl In this respect they did, indeed re-
semble young calves; for I could see
their mothers at work in a rice-feld a
few hundred yards away. All the babies
seemed quite contented with their treat
ment, stood and looked at them for sew.
eral minutes from pure amusement at
their unique position; but although they
regarded me with wide-eyed curiosity, l
never heard a whimper from any OF
them. Nobody was paying the slightest
attention to them, and from appearances
should conclude that they were most
likely picketed out in this manner every
fine day while their mothers worked in
the neighboring fields. Very probably
these Chinese babies soon come to regard
their daily outing at the stake with the
same degree of satisfaction that very
Young America derives from his peram.

BOOKS AND BOOKISHNES

A bookish people, says Sir John Lub-
book, in the London Spectator, do not
make great books. The Germans are,
we suppose, the most bookish people in
the world, and though they make mag
nificent encyclopedias, the most learned
of disquisitions, and scientific trestises
beyond all praise; though they edit class
les as few but German scholars ever ed
tied them; though they master the prin-
ciples Of comparative grammar and ex-
haust the views which can be taken on
the philosophy of history, and treat "the
categories" of all things nameable with a
thoroughness that both bewilders and
enraptures less mastery logicians; yet
you certainly cannot say that they have
a literature to compare with the English.
And the reason is, as we believe, simply
this, that a bookish people cannot pro-
duce the greatest books, il we mean by
the greatest books something more than
monuments of investigation or learning
namely, living powers, powers that stir
the heart, books whose words have, as
Luther, the most IN bookish of men, called
it, "hands and feet" that can wiring us
in their living grasp. That is where
Homer beats even the tragedians of the
great Athenian age: he was not bookish.
but for that reason wrote book that had
the life of whole world in it; while Eur
ipides, Sophocles, and possibly even Es-
chylus were in aeense bookish, and make
you feel that the life they dealt with was,
as it were, the distilled water of life, not
the water of life as it dubbed up from
the fresh earth. Consider only the great
est English witers. One of the greatest,
Milton, was perhaps in the main book
ish man, "a m an who had lived on books and
whose imagination was schooled even
more by books than by actual contact
with life. But where would Milton stand
beside Shakespeare, who is the most un-
bookish man who ever wrote great books
whose greatest charm was but very
inadequately described even in Millions
own beautiful phrase, when he contrast
ed "Johnson's learned sock" with the de-
lights to be experienced when
Sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child
Marbles his native woodnotes wild?"
Indeed, we believe we might say that
though there will always be a field for
highly cultivated genius-for instance.tor
a students poet, like Milton or Herbert,
Henry Vaughn or Wordsworth (who had,
however, in him a streak Of the hardy shep-
herd and mountaineer,) or Ooleridge, or
Keats, or Tennyson, or Matthew Arnold
the men who will make the great pop
ular books of the world, the books which
dominate the unbookish, will always be
fed chiefly on 6rst-hand experience OF
men and things, and only by accident, as
it were, on literary studies.

ORIGIN OF THE TELESCOPE
AND PENDULUM.

It seems scarcely credible that that
wonderful, far seeing instrument which
brings the most distant worlds under our
curious ken, should have had it's origin
in child's play; yet SO it il. The children
of a spectacle-maker in Middieburgh were
allowed at unexpectedly on wet days
to play in the ir fathers workshop On
one of these occasions, as they we're
amusing themselves with some spectacle
glasses, one of them placed two together,
one before the other and looked through
them at weathercock on q neighboring
steeple. To the child's establishment, the
vane appeared larger and nearer to it
than when seen through one glass only.
The father was called to see the sight,
and struck with the singular fact, re-
solved to turn it to advantage. His first
plan was to fix two glasses on board by
means of brsss rings, which might be
brought nearer to each other or further
off at pleasure. He was thus enabled to
see distant objects better or more dis
tinct than before. The next improve
ment was the glasses in the tube, which
may be termed the first telescope. Calico
soon heard of it and applied it to as
Economical purposes.
The mention OF this great man recalls
to mind his accidental discovery of the
pendulum. A correct time measure had
long been desideratum in the world.
Water-clocks had been tried and found
wanting; Alfreds candles would not do
for the world at large. Another lucky
accident must supply the want; and it
came as follows: The future great as
tronomer, though then only young
man was in the cathedral OF Pisa. One
OF the vergers had been supplying a
lamp with oil, which hung from the
roof and left it swinging to and fro; this
caught Galileo's attention, and carefully
noting it he observed that it vibrated in
equal times, and first conceived the idea
of applying it to the measurement oil
time. It cost him fifty years to complete
his pendulum.
