How to Mako Them COntented With Their
Lot i'm Life.
As the children grow. share the re-
spOnsibilities as well as the labors OF
the place with them. Give each one
something of the common product for
which to be responsible, and thus early
teach all to feel that every one has
duties, on the performance of which
other people are dependent. Give to
one the garden; to another the yard;
to another the potatoes. etc. 1t is well
to give each one a patch of land to do
with as he Or she pleases; but give
each one some care in the common

and responsibility as fitness for it war.
rants. Be watchful yourself. but let
it always be in a spirit of genuine in
terest. not from lack of confidence. Be
ready with advice when asked for or
absolutely needed; but in the latter
case, remember that experience is a
pretty thorough teacher.
If your boys see that you are willing
to con-ider the advice of others and
read that given in some good agricult-
ural paper. they will feel the freer to
come to you while you will be the bet
ter able to assist them.
If you can influence a neighbor to let

boys. so much the better for your own.
a friendly competition will be pretty
sure to follow.
Nor are the girls to be forgotten in
these plans. Give them something
aside from the usual household drudg-
cry 80 that they may also look for
some returns besides the return OF
their tasks.
Useyour leisure hours in keeping
up with the times. Don't give your
children a chance to feel that to be-
come a farmer means to retire from all
the outer world. Youth paints all
walks of life in brilliant cOlors and
loses interest first in that which seems
diverging farthest from the rest
Don't always talk of the work on a
farm never being finished This say
ing is no truer of the farmer than of
the true man everywhere whose work
is only finished with his life. Avoid
unnecessary shadows in the farm pic
ture. but don't wholly evade COMPARE

A SOLAR CYCLONE.

The Sum Composed Of Columns Of Intense
taai ~ Hot Metallic Vspors.
Those who have looked through . large
telescope under favorable atmospheric con-
ditions at one of those immense cyclones
which occasionally break out ON the sun,
have derived from what they saw very
good idea Of the origin of sunlight. They
have seen that the brightest portion Of the
surface of the sun consists Of columns Of
intensely hot metallic vapors, averaging
about three hundred miles in diameter, ris-
ing from its interior and glowing with ex-
treme brilliancy, from tho presence Of
clouds formed, probably, OF shining parti-
cles Of carbon precipitated from its vapor
as the tops of the columns reach the sur
face and lose heat by expansion and radia-
ton. "a good idea OF such precipitation
is had by observing the particles of water
condensed from transparent vapor, in un.
usually high thunder-heads, where the &C
ton is in some respects similarly Be-
tween these ascending columns are seen
descending masses Of cooler vapors,
rendered dark and smoky by relatively
cool and Opaque particles Of excessively
high temperature in the condition Of trans
parent vapor. In the immediate region,
however, where the cyclone is raging, these
bright ascending columns are drawn out
horizontally by theinrushing metallic winds
(which often reach velocity OF q thousand
miles per hour) into long ilaments, pointing
in general toward the center of the disturb
ance, which is always occupied by huge
cloud of smoke Frequently twenty thousand
miles in dzaneter;, rapidly settling back
into the interior Of the sun. Over aud
across this great central black cloud are
often driven long arms of the shining car
bon-clouds, which, when the cyelonic action
is very strong, bend round into slowly
changing spiral forms, very suggestive OF
irf0 -, s1~s.. II, -
ably connected with this aight, is that tho
observer seems to be viewing it from q po-
sition quite near the scene of the disturb
ance, whose minute and complicated details
are seen with exquisite dlstinctnesA-
