Unknown Sensations.
Science Monthly.


Sound is the sensation produced on Us
when the vibration of the air strikes on
the drum of our ear. When they are few
the sound is deep; as they increase in
number it becomes shriller and shriiler,
but when they reach 10000 in second
they sease to be audible. Light is the
effect produced on Us when waves of light
strike on the eye. When four hundred
millions of millions of vibrations Of
ether strike the retina in second they
produce red, and as tbs number increases
the color passes into orange, then yellow,
green, blue, and violet. But between
forty thousand vibrations in a second
and four hun dred millions OF millions We
have no organ of sense capable of receiv-
ing the impression. Yet between these
limits any number of sensations may ex-
ist. We have five senses, and sometimes
fancy that no others are possible. But it
is obvious that we cannot measure the in
finite by our own narrow limitations.
Moreover, looking at the question from
the other side, we find in animals complex
organs of sense, richly supplied with
nerves, but the function OF which we are as
yet powerIess to explain. There may be
fifty other sei.ses as different from ours
rs sound is from sight; and even within
the boundaries Of our own senses there
may be endless sounds, which we cannot

Don't sit down and whine because your

Two Kinds of Girls.

There are girls and girls says writer in
Golden Days. One is the girl who appears
best at home, who helps her mother, and
takes unfinished tasks from the tired
hands that faiter as their work. She is a
cheerful and congenial companion and
all her friends and relatives learn to re-
gard her as q little saint and comforter.
The other girl is the one who let's others
work for her. 81 just hate housework,"
she says, ''and Iiet ma do most OF it,"
"You make your own bed, OF course"
says her friend. "Wen no, ma makes the
beds generally. haven't the strength"
"Who washes the dishes?'' "Ma does, or
sister Jenny. It makes my hands red,
and red hands look SO horrid when / am
playing the piano" "And you do moth
ing" IF do the shopping. That's such
help TO ma. I receive the company,
for sbe'is too tired to stay up after sup
per, and she says I'm lots of help to her"
There is pot much trouble in choosing
between the two girls.

Unhealthy Plants.

DAmong variety ofintermingIed par
lor plants, there is almost always AMI OF
more that does not look as bright and
healthy as the rest. Oftentimes many
will show the same symptoms but in IN
equal degrees. The only way to treat
such plants successfully, if the cause is
not known, is to separate them; take
away all unhealthy specimens, look up
their original habits; then supply their
several natural conditions in regard to
moisture and temperature. The soil
shoald not be overlooked, but this is not
SO important as an Immediate change as
moisture and temperature. The crowns
of many plants are very low; such are
liable to De kept too moist or are earthed
up too high, and thus are subject to
decay. It may be possible that reporting
will aid in their recovery. In many
cases change in treatment, will effect a
complete recovery. The depredations Of
insects should be watched for, as they
often cause trouble.

Sanity and Christian Science.

I am glad to note return to sanity in
the matter of Christian science, so called.
Many who gave it their firm adherence at
first have seen that it is rank imposture,
and have withdrawn allegiance, ashamed.
Its rapid spread was due to that peculiar

bold assumption Of supernatural power

charlatan to the careful, thorough, trath-

One Of these quacks, st the time in i'm

his success in attracting clients, the sur

formed to an independent, influential,

the cuisine and general appointments

THE FARM AND HOME
PLAYING SCHOOL.

Blue-eyed Maud is the teacher,
Clarence. Minnie and Bale
Are the most advanced of her7pupiIs-
The first class studying well
Then there are the primary scholars
Those dollies who sit in a row
And Robbie's the Superintendent
Who visits the school, you know.
Puss is studying drawing,
Her paws on the crayon-tray,
While Bose sits on hassock
Ready his part to play.
She has on her very best ribbon,
With an extra frill of lace,
While he wears a rundown collar
And very solemn face.
A mouse peeps out of the corner,
From his hole just under the wall.
And pusS goes Scampering after,
Upsetting the dollies all!
While Maude--the dignified teacher
Just screams and jumps to chair,
And the grave little superintendent
Laughs loud at the funny affair,

CALIFORNIA DIAMONDS.

One of the .Products of Butte and Amador Coun
ties.
Diamonds have long been known to ex
ist in California, though mono of Iarg
size have been found. The principa
fields are along the north fork of tn
Feather River in Butte county, and in
the volcano gravel region on tributary
of Dry Greek, in Amador county. AT
Cherokee, near the orth ork of the
Feather, sixty or seventy diamonds have
been taken out. They are found in the
gold diggings in coarse gravel. The lew
eler's Review says:
Last winter diamond expert from the
fields of South Africa, a M. Atkins, ex.
amined the diamond bearing places al
Cherokee and Volcano, and came to the
conclusion that tie stones found there
had at some period been brought from @
distance, and that these gravel fields were
not their original bed. The same view
it may be added, is held regarding the
gold deposits for which this mines are
worked. Cherokee and Volcano are in
the Western foothills of the Sierra Ne
vada, the latter place being about loo
miles southeast of the former. The pres
ent topography of country is not looked
to as giving any clue to the sourcs from
which the precious deposits bave come
as it is evident that that the entire regior
has been compile tely changed by earth
quakes and volcanoes, and the hills art
now in many cases composed of laws

ancient rivers, mountains and valleys
The best gold gravel mines on the east

the beds of ancient rivers. These beds

many cases passing under mountain spurs
or being cut of by valleys. In othel
instances violent upheavals have SO dis
