Are Stones Alive?

We generally think of minerals as dead
lnmpS of inactive matter. But they may be
said to be alive, creatures of vital pulsations,
and separated into individuals as distinct as
the pines in forest or the tigers in the Jungle.
The dispositions OF crystals are as diverse as
those of animals. They throb with unseen
currents of energy. They grow in size as
long as they have opportunity. They can be
killed, too though not as easily as an oak or
dog. \ strong electric shock discharged
through a crystal will decompose it very
rapidly If IT is OF soft structure, causing the
particles to gradually diSintegrate in the re-
verse order from its growth, until the poor
thing lies in dead, shapeleSs ruin 1t is true
the crystals life is unlike that of higher
creatures. But the difference between yece-
table and animal life is no greater than that
between mineral and vegetable life. Linuieus,
the great Swedish naturalist, defined the
three kingdoms by saying: .'Stones grow:
plants grow and feel; animals grow and feel
aud move. Wide Awake.

An Underground Forest.

An underground forest was recently dis
covered in the metal mountains of Saxony
These mountains are covered with forests Of
pines and frs, in which there are a lsr-a
number of open spaces serving as pastures for
the cattle kept on them during the summer
Many of these forest pastures are inundated
in fall and remain under water until the
summer following, The result u; those De-
riodical inundations is the formation Of deem
layers of peat, which supply the region with
valuable heating material Along a pass
through that forest region railroad is now
building between the cities of Annaberg and
Schwarzenberg. In one of the peat PASTURES
the navvies have just laid open the stems of
e primeval forest IN al advanced stage of the
process of petrifaction, or carbonization. The
stems are all of the fir family. from fifteen to
thirty inches circumference on the average,
and imbedded in peat some fifteen To twenty
feet under the surface. No reliable estimate
of the age of the forest has yet been pub

words: 81 give you name entwined with

A Fortune from $50.
No. VII D,.De.~


One of the odd characters about New
York is w. p. Proctor, the Vice President
of the Singer Sewing Machine Company.
He lives at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and
has the best horses and carriages in the
city but never rides. His own exercise is
walking, and the carriages are for his
family. he is a email man with a shrewd
face and careless dress. He was a
mechanic when he first met Singer. They
went into partnership to make rock drills
on Cherry street. The drills worked with
a hand rachel. Their factroy blew up,
and Singer walked all the way to Boston
in the hope of interesting Boston people
to start factory there. While in Boston
he was asked to go around the corner to
see wonder-it was a sewing machine.
He came back to New York and said he
would make better sewing machine than
the one he saw. They raked together
$50 and the machine was made, and in
thirty-fve years this $50 of capital grew
be $30,000,000. Proctor married Sing
er's daughter, and is probably worth $685.
100000. He owns third of the stock of
the Singer Company. 1t is amusing to
hear him tell at times, how, in thu early
days of his sewing machine experience,
he and Singer used to dream of the time
when they could make 1000 machines
year, which they were certain would yield
them fortune. To-day they make 1000
q day.

GenneSaret.

The lake of Gennesaret is about the
size of Windermere. but rather broader.
1t lies $50 feet below the level of the
Mediterranean, and is bordered on both
the east and west sides by steep declevi-
ties. From no part of the western shore
can its whole length be seen, but when
well out in the middle of it, near the
northern end, it seems to prolong itself
southwark to infnity, the lev land where
the Jordon leaves it not being visible.
The rocks which surround it are not es-
pecially beautiful, and there are hardly
any trees on the bank S cen under
gray northern sky it would seem very
commonplace. We have all of US visited
numbers OF lakes which in very many re-
spects are its superiors. Atmosphere,
however, is marvellous beautifer, and l
can not imagine there being two opinions
about the lovliness of the scene which
was presented to us on the 30th of De-
cember. As we streached out into the
lake our eyes and thoughts were given to
the bread features of the landscape-to
the PERCEPTIONS wall of cliffs which hold
up the great plateau of the Jaulin; to
Hermon which rises grandiy to the north
dominating this whole region and TO the
clear waters over which we are gliding
under sky which would have done
honor to the most perfect English June.
The plain of Gennesaret is a small piece
of level ground the latest measurement
of which makes it two miles and half
long by one broad. Well watered and
fertile, it nioys climate very superior
to that Of the ragged uplands which hem
it in, and Josephus, with what craze for
exaggeration, which was one of his many
dement's, has described it as @ sort of
paradise. That, it can never have been,
but it was doubtless in the time of
Christ q populous ard prosperous bit of
country.

Youths Companion.

Gluttony is not the sin OF this age, but
hundred years ago there were many
men and women who lived TO eat. Their
god was their belly. One of them, q
Frenchmap, when youth OF %, was
found sitting down, alone, 10 seven roast
turkeys, merely that he might enjoy their
<soysters," that delicious mCrsel found in
the depression of the side bones. This
glutton lived to be so, with but one pur-
pose, to eat and drink.
Careme, who cooked for George ". of
England and for Alexander I. of Russia,
said: "Men who knew how to eat are as
rare as gooa cooks. Look at the great
musicians and physicians; they are all
gastronomers."
But Careme admitted that there was
one great man who was neither great
eater nor judge of good eating. Ma
poleon ate very plain food, and little of
1T, though always with hunger and rap
idity. He drank little wine, for it excited
him, and he had TO have cool head.
There is an old story which relates that
a London Alderman pronounced the
turkey as most unsatisfactory bird. It
Is too much for one, and not enough for
two. The Saturday Review gives the orig
inal story as follows:
'And then, sir, we topped off with a
gorgeous turkey, first-chop bird-never
tasted juicier-melt in the mouth
crammed with truffies to the eyes-bou-
quet is no word for tive left nothing
but the bones"

tic. At another time they seem to live
only in a pale moonlight, and we watch
the scenes rather than participate in
them. It is very certain, however, that
the majority of dreams are only of mo
mentary duration, though extended oc-
casionslly to the length Of minute.
In proof of this DR.. Scholz tells the
following story from his experience:
CATER excessive bodily fatigue and a day
Of mental strain of g not disagreeable
kind, betook myself to bed after l had
wound my watch and placed it on the
table. Then lay down beside burning
lamp. Soon found myself on the high
sea on board well-known ship. I was
again young and stood on the lookout. l
heard the roar Of the water and golden
clouds hoated around me. How long /
stood so I do not know, but it seemed a
very long time. Then the scene changed.
was in the country and my long-dead
parents came to greet me; they took me
TO church where the loud organ sounded
was delighted, but at the same time
wondered to see my wife and children
there. The priest mounted the pulpit
and preached, but could not understand
what he said for the sound of the organ,
which continued to play. 1 took my son
by the hand, and with him assembled the
church tower, but again the scene was
changed. Instead of being near my son
stood near an early known but long
dead officer-I ought to explain that 1
was Pm army surgeon during the maneuv
ers. I was wondering why the major
should look so young, when quite close in
my ears cannon sounded. Terrified, I
was hurrying off, when I woke up and
noticed that the supposed canron shot
had its cause in the opening Of the bed
room door through some one entering.
1t was as if had lived through an etern-
ity in my dream, but when looked at my
watch I saw that since had fallen asleep
not more than one minute had elapsed
much shorter time than il takes to re-
late the occurrence"

English Farming Not Prosperous.

An English exchange states that sad
illustration of the abnormal depression
through which the country has been pass,
ing is afforded from Heckington. Two
farmers were summoned before the local
magistrate for not contributing to the
import of their parents. Both were
single men, and lived together. They
owned about acres of lard, which, how
ever, was mortgaged for considerable
more than it would fetch in the market.
In addition to this they rent about 20
acres of glebe land. They stated that
they worked early and late, and were only
just able 20 get bare living, and never
knew what it was to have fresh meat in
the house. They were unable to earn
more than shilling a day, and had not
sufficient clothes. They were anxious to
contribute TO their parents maintenance,
but from poverty were unable to do so.
The magistrates refused to make en- Or
der, not being satisfied as to the neaDs of
defendants.

Changed by a Child.
Youths Companion i.


"The wolf shall also dwell with the
lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with
the kid; and the calf and the young lion
and the fathling together; and a little
child shall lead then"-so says the He
brew prophet, illustrating thereby the
nature of the moral revolution through
which the earth is to be renewed. The
prophets meaning is fulfilled by this
tender scene narrated by an exchanges;
In a certain prison there is a man
whom we shall call Jim, and who is a
prisoner on life-sentance. Up to last
spring he was regarded as desperate,
dangerous man, ready for rebellion at
any hour.
He planned general outbreak and was
betrayed by one of his fellow, conspira
tors. He plotted another rebellion. and
was again betrayed. He then kept his
counsel. While never refusing to obey
only needed backing to make him refuse
to do SO.
One day in June party of strangers
came to the institution. One of them
was an old gentleman, the others ladies
and two of the ladies had small children

The convict hesitated, a scowl on his
face; and the little girl held out hel
hands and said: "If you will, guess III
kiss vou,"
His scowl vanished in an instant, and
he lifted the child as tenderly as father
could have done. Halfway up the stairs
she kissed him.
At the head of the stairs she said: "Now
you've got TO kiss me, too"
He blushed like a woman, looked int
her innocent face, and then kissed he
cheek; and before he reached the foot o.
the stairs again the man had tears in hi
eyes.

has objected to having his name appear
in print, says:
ftOh, DEAR she sighed. 81 shall have

never saw such forgetful child in my
life. He torments the soul out of me-.
Every time I send him 60 the store, he
brings back something that didn't send

Then raising her voice she called:
"Willier'

"You come here thi, minute! I'm in a
great hurry. I wan yeast cake down
to the store, and don't want you to for
get what I sent you for I don't want

but yeast cake. One of them tinfoil
cakes-Willie!'
"Yes ma"
"Did you hear what said?"
'No, ma"
"Oh, you do try my patience so. Come

The boy appears.
''Now, want a yeast cake-how came

playing in the mud again. I'll tell your
father when he gets home. It's not

with nutmegs like You did yesterday, nor
with cinnamon, like you did the day be-
fore, when You are told to get citron.
Your coat is buttoned wrong. Don't you
forget now"
The boy escaped to the street, when
the anxious and painstaking matron call
ed out of the window:
"Now don't you stop to play with those
Martrengialc boys, like you did last
week, and keep out of French's back
yard-do you hear? Its yeast you're go

But the boy was out of hearing.

The Thistle.

With regard to the circumstances under
which the thistle was adopted as its en-
blem by the Scottish nation, correspon
dent in London relates the following:
Queen Scotia mad led her troops in well
fought field and when the day was won,
retired to the rear from her tolls. She
threw herself upon the ground, where as
i'll luck would have it, the envious thistle
had selected to grow at the very spot of
her repose. Whether the fair Amazon
fought in the national custom, know
not, but the spines of the offending herb,
were sufficiently powerful TO penetrate
the skin IN very painful manner.
Queen Scotia sprang up, and tore the
thistle up by the roots. She was about
to cast it from her with a military ex-
preston, when it struck her that the
prickly plant would henceforth bassociat-
ed in her mind with the glorious victory
she had just gained. Her intention was
changed. So she placed the thistle In
her casque and it became the badge OF
her DYNASTY,
