with what few exchanges that have

ten days. The high waters and
railroad washouts cut off almost all
communication and traffic through
out the state. Such an overflow and

About the middle of April last we OBJ
served a young lamb entangled among
briars. 1t had seemingly struggled for
liberty until it was quite exhausted. It's
mother was present, endeavorlng with
her head and feet to disentangle it. After
having attempted in vain for long time to
effect this purpose, she left it and ran away,
bddng with all her might. We fancied
there was something peculiarly doleful in
her voice. Thus she proceeded across three
fields, and through four strong hedges,
until she came to flock of sheep From
not having been able to follow her we could
not watch her motions when with them.
However, she left them in about five minutes,
accompanied by ram that had two power
full horns. They returned speedily towards
the poor lamb and as soon as they reached
it the ram Immediately set about liberating
it, which he did in few minutes by drag
glng away the briars with his horns.

pushed il forward by the force Of their eX-
pansion. But the glacier moves in winter
when ice docs not melt and in summer
when it does not freeze.
Another has affirmed that ice, though
brittle and seemingly unyiclding, is plastic
and gclatinous, and moves under pressure
like lsphGltum.
Tyndail and Huxley rest later theory
ur,on an extended series of experiments and
observations Ice crushed into granu-
lifted state if submitted to great pressure
Will readily take any desired form and re-
turn 10 4 solid and transparent condition.
So the glacier, pressed by its own incalcu-
liable wcIghL against an unyieldinG surface
is Ground up and made to assume the struct-
urc of its channel. and TO move forward
like 4 vicious substance, and the very force
witch yrinds it up restores 1t again to its
transparent state.
We found the consistency Of the MGR de
Glaze changed continually from the Seracs
to the Ca4peau. The snow at the source
gradually took on granulatcd form, which
the French call neVc, aud as 1t advanced
downward to where it alternately NOTED
and froze it was transformed into blue
transparent ice
Whenever The glacier leaps suddenly
downward in its track, it is broken up byits
own wc.-ht The lateral crcvices are
caused by the strain put upon thc ice by the
UNEQUAL movement OF the sides and the
center of the glacier, and as the cracks open
at right angles to the line of greatest ten
sion tncy generally curve upward, the con
vexity being up the stream. During the heat
of the summer it is a common thing to see
one or more brooks coursing along the sur
face Of the glacier and dropping into assures,
which they melt into the form of deep wells.
This water passes down to the bottom OF the
glacier, and, mingling with the rock which
has been ground up by the friction between
the ice and its bed, issues at the lower end
IN a turDid stream, which being drunk by
the people produces the strong tendency to
the goiter so common IN some OF the can
tons.
Moraincs are produced by the falling OF
dirt and stones from the cliffs upon the
sides of the glacier. These are called lateral
moraincs, but where two glaciers unite to
form third, as in the case of the Mer dc
CSlacc, two lateral moraines combine and
form q large medal mOranc. This material
is all borne on together as the glacier adj
vanccs, and is dropped off at the lower end
forming the terminal mOralnc. These mo-
raines scattered over new England are the
evidences of former glacial action in this
part of the country.
Sometimes a large, fat bowlder falling
upon the ice prevents it melting beneath,
and we have the phenomenon Of an ice
pillar.

FELINE STRATEGY.
The Courage with Which the Cat Meets

The mastery of herself which a cat shows
when, having been caught in a position from
which there Is no escape, she calmly sits
down to face out the threats of Il dog, is
marvellous thing, says Il writer in the Bos-
ton ITdnScr pr. Every body has seen Il kit

It, IS what her position tells the dog. But
she Is intensely on her guard, il spite of her
air Of perfect content Her legs, concealed
under her fur, are ready for Il spring; her
claws are unshcIthed, her eyes never move
for an instant fl ON the dog as he bounds
wildly FROM side TO side, BARKING with conf
cal fury, those glittcring eyes OF hers follow
Inn with the Eecncst scrutiny. If he p.ucks
up his courage to grab her, she is ready; she

who required a general system regulator. As a

keep on changing until the atmosphere
shall be a comminglng of October and
June. Benediction upon the deserts
till they whiten with lily and blush
with rose and yellow with cowslip and
emerald with grass. BencdIction upon
governments till they become more just
and humane. BcnedictiOn upon nations
till they kneel in prayer. Benediction
upon the whole earth until every
mountain is an Oliyet of conservation
and every lake a Galilee on whose mo
sale Of crystal and opal and sapphire
divine %splendors shall walk. O, take
the benediction of His pardon, sinners
young and sinners old, sinners moderate
and sinners abandoned. Take the
benediction of His comfort, all We
broken hearted under brreav ement,
and privation, and myriad woes
Take his benediction all We sick
beds, whether unIer acute spasms
of pain or IN long protraCted invalidism.
For o~rphanagc, and childlessncss and
W idowhood IA benediction. For cradles,
and trundle beds and rocking chairs of
o~ctogenarians "a bcncdiction. For life
and for death, for time and for eternity,
for earth and for Hea ven u benediction.
Sublimest gesture ever made, the last
gesture of our ascending Lord. "And
He lifted up His hands and blessed
them"
Is our attitude the same? Is IL wrath
or is it kindness? Is it diabolism or
Christism? God give us the grace of the
open palm, open upward to get the BEN
ediction, open downward to pr%onouncea
benediction. A lady was passing along
a street and suddenly ran against
a ragged boy, and she said: 81
beg your pardon, my boy, l did
not mean to run against you;
/ am very sorry" And the boy
took of h piece of a cap he had
upon his head and said: "You have my
parding, lady, and you may run agin me
and knock me clear down; | won'tcare."
And turning to a comrade he said:
"That nearly took me off my feet. No
body ever asked my parding before"
Kindness! Kindness! Fill the world
with it. There has always been too
much disregard for others. Illustrated
in 1880, in England. when IS, 900 acres
of marshes were drained for health and
for crop raising and the sportsmen de-
stroyed the drainage works because
they wanted to keep the marshes for
hunting ground, where they could shoot
wild ducks. The same selfishness In
all ages. o, for kindness that would
make our life a symphony suggestive of
one OF the anc ,ent %banquets where every
thing was set to music; the plates
brought in and removed to the sound Of
music, the motions of the carvers keep
ing time with the music, the converse
ton lifting and dropping with the rising
and falling of the music. But, instead
Of the music of an earthly orchestra, it
would be the music of a heavenly
charm, our words the music of kind
thoughts, our steps the music of helpful
deeds, IL smile the music of encourage
ing looks, our youth inc old age the
first and last bars of music conducted
by the pierced hand that was opened in
love and spread downward in benedic-
ton IN OF. veto heights on Ascension
