THE PROCESS OF GROWTH.

How slow are the processes of
growth and as secret and inscruta-
bic. Months of time mus elapse
before the little, black, hard seed
that looks as though it might be but
a grain of gunpowder, will develop
the ..heliotrope's purple loneliness.
In darkness and solitude the process
OF dissolution and termination must
take place before in upper air and
light there can be the beauty and
fragrance of perfect bloom. And
the higher and the more complex
the life, the longer the time requir-
ed, and the more painful the process
of growth. Courage, then, 0 soul .
and patience, too. Thou art not
an animal" to be grown in year.
Thy destiny is eternal. The GLORY"
to which thou art growing has no
approximation in''the things that do
appear" So much the longer and
more severe must be the process Of
thy life.

Lords of Creation.

Grant Allen propounds, in the
Forum, a new view Of ''woman's
place in nature" "The males," he
says, ''are the race; the females are
merely the sex told off to recruit and
produce it. All that is distinctively
human is mantle field, the ship, the
mine, the workshop. All that is
truly woman is merely reproductive
the home, the nursery, the school
room. The very necessity for telling
off at least considerable number of
the women for the arduous duties of
human maternity prevents the pos
sibility Of women, as such ever being
really, in any deep sense, the race. 1t
is human to till, to build, to navigate,
and these are the functions that fall
upon man. The males have built up
human civilization and have made
the great intentionally acquired gains
in human faculty, while the females
have acted as mere passive trans
mitters of these male acquisitions.

A boy at the public grammar school
has confessed to his father that he
has for some time past taken money
from the till in his shop, being or
dered to do so by man, who had
made him the subject of experiments
in hypnotism. The father went. to
the school authorities, and it was
discovered that a whole class ofboys
were in a similar plight. They acted
as mediums" and by a process
known as suggestion were made
to steal money from their parents
and bring it to the ardeut scientist

Treatment of Sprains.

Sprains demand careful treatment.
When large joint is affected there is
often considerable constitutional dis
turbance, fever, rapid pulse, etc. It
has often been said that bad sprain
is worse than a fracture. It is certain
ly a very serious trouble, especially if
the ligaments which bind the bone
together are lacerated.
Perfect rest to the affected limb is
the most essen tial measure, and splint
should be used in its support. To
lessen the supply of blood to the in
jured member during the inhammatory
stage, it should be elevated and cold
applied. Cold applications should be
made to the joint either by cloths
wrung out of cold water, Or by pow
dered ice tied up in towels or in rub
Der bag. A very convenient method
of keeping the cloths wet without
changing them is as follows: Fill a
pitcher or some other vessel with
water, and place it higher than the
limb. Moisten a string or a strip of
linen, and place one end of it in the
water; let the other end hang on the
outside, and rest in on the cloths which
cover the injured part. The water
will be continuously conducted along
the string or linen used.
The application Of cold should be
persisted in until the inflammation has
subsidized; the swelling may then be re-
duced by bandaging, uniform pressure
and firmness being used. More or
less stiffness of the joint will remain
for time; this may be overcome by
gentle movements, if they do not ex-
cite more than momentary pain. If,
however, the pain is more Or less per.
sistent, then the part must be kept
still longer at rest. The local treat
ment to restore the action is much the
same as in chronic rheumatism
Stimulating liniments may be used; il
matters but little which is selected
the efficacy of all depends almost en-
tirely upon the handwriting en-
ployed in their application. One par
to three of liniments ammonia an6
camphor make a good preparation.

Nothing is Old Since The Flood.

A magazine article talks of The
Lack of Ole Homes in America" It
is a great pity. Things ofthis sort
always impress us very deeply. A
few weeks ago we visited Sunday
school, and the tears filled our eyes
as we noticed the great scarcity of
old men in the infant class. We
looked over therows oflittle.children,
all of them under six years Of age,
and not one white haired old man in
all the class could we see. There was
one bald headed toothless fellow
there, but he was sitting in his sisters
lap, chewing rubber ring, and sing
ing song all by himself, the refrain
of which was "ah goo, ah GOO" Yes
indeed, there are few old men in the
infant class. Same way with the
Kindergarten. It's a wonder some
wise magazine writer hasn't noticed
this singular fact, and made an ar
ticle about it.-Burdett.

A Model Dog Story!

A remarkable case of animal in
telligence and fidelity has developed
in this city. Every one knows the
late D. Watson's little Zolla, that
used to follow him everywhere and
often ride beside him in his buggy
seat. He would come every morn
ing to his masters office, and if he
did not find him there would run
over to the livery stable to see if the
doctors buggy was gone, and if it
was he would follow the track until
he had found him. When his master
was in the coffin little Rolla was
held up SO he could see his face, and
showed signs ofintense grief.
He was at the funeral at Wood
bine cemetery and was the last one
to linger at the new made grave.
Since that time he had visited the
grave night and morning and is seen
sitting upon it keeping watch, as
though he expected his kind friend
and master. He often wandered
alone on the streets at night, and a
gentleman whose profile and beard
somewhat resemble Dr. Watson S
has told us that little Zolla has
often walked in front of him and
gazed into his face and even followed
him home and satfor hours in front
ofhis door waiting for him to come
out that he might get one more
look at this face so much like the
one treasured in his memory-Jef-
ferson (Ga.,) Herald.

Something to live for came to the place,
Something to die for, may be.
Something to give even sorrow grace,
And yet it was only baby!
Cooling and laughter, and gurgles, and cries,
Dimples of tenderest kisses,
Chaos of hopes, and of raptures and signs,
Chaos of fears and of blisses.

This years wilderness, may be;
But heaven stopped under the roof on the

That it brought there only a baby.

Then your blood be upon your
own head! Rather than surrender
the schooner we'll burn her and you
with her! I'll give you half an hour
to think it over"
We didn't want two minutes. We
were determined not onlynot oleaye
the schooner, but to recapture her.
We expected to be attacked first by
the skylight, but this was small al
fair, and did not command but a
portion of the cabin. And, as we at
terward ascertained, the only fire
arm among the mutineers was a
double Darreled pistol, which had al
ready been discharged, and could
not be reloaded for want of ammu-
milton. They would also batter in
the doors of the companion, but we
hoped to hold them at the barricade
Ihey could not come at us by way
Of the hold, for that was full.
We got a bite to eat from the pan
try, had a glass of wine, and bv that
time were hailed for our answer. The
captain replied that we would not
go, and defed them to do their worst.
We heard them, moving softly about,
and at her own request Jess was al
lowed to pull away portion of the
barricade and creep up the stairs to
listen, while the captain and stood
with our guns ready to repulse any
attack by the skylight. Jess was
returning to report when a battering
ram drove in the doors hardly an
arms length away, and the men who
had welded the spar raised a yell at
sight OF her. Not one person in ten
thousand, man or woman, would
have done as she did. Instead of
springing over the barricade, she
leveled her revolver and shot one of
the men, the leader of the mutiny,
through the head as he stood above
her. AS he threw up his arms and fell
she shouted to us to come up, rushed
up the stairs, and we heard her fire
twice more before We got over tie
barricade. .a
When we got on deck no one but
Jess was to be seen erect. Two dead
men and one wounded unto death
were lying on the deck, and the
other three had fed to the TO 'castle.
Two minutes later they were begging
for their lives, and they crawled like
ours as they came up to be bound.
Jess had killed two of the new men
and mortally wounded the negro
cook, and the mutiny had been put
down and the craft retaken before
you could count a hundred. Her
movements had been so swift and
her aim was SO fortunate that every
thing had to go before her.
1t would have made your hair
stand up to listen to the confession
of those rascals. The seizure of the
schooner had long been contemp-
lated, and a part of the
plan was to get hold Of the
girl. Had we accepted the offer
of the boat we would have been killed
as soon as we reached the deck. The
leader was an ex-convict named Ike
Reese, and he proposed to turn the
craft into a regular pirate, strength
ening his crew from such small craft
as he might overhaul. The negro
died within an hour, and we hove the
three bodies overheard without
ceremony. During the forenoon we
worked the schooner to the east,
and about noon got a couple hands
from an English merchantmen and
put into Melbourne to report and
deliver up our prisoners. One was
hanged for the crime. but one died
before the trial and the other escaped
and was shot dead by the officers in
pursuit;-New York Sun.
