The Midnight Sun.

Imagine yourself in a ship at anchor
looki & west or straight in front of you.
There is a broad eXpanse of sea on your
right hand, behind you is the rugged
coast, and t. your left the long narrow
ford between the main land and the ISL
ands that the steamer has just traversed.
You watch the sun as it slowly sets; the
islands and the coast look like a dark
rich purple, and the shadows cast by the
ships masts grow longer and longer.
After bit, when the sun has sunk APP
parently twelve feet from the horizon,
it stops and seems to remain stationary
for twenty minutes or so; then the very
sea gulls hide while the air of a sudden
strikes chilly. Each one has an awed
expeXant feeling. Soon the sun rises
very slowly once again, and the yellow
clouds change with his uprising to even
greater beauty-hrst to the paest prim-
rose and then to a blush pink The sky,
which was just now rose color, becomes
gray, then emerald green, and lastly
blue. Rock after rock stands out, caught
by the suns rays, and the reign of day
has begun once more

&c Mutual.n

When Dickens set the example of mis-
using a good word by naming novel
Our Mutual Friend, he could hardly
have foreseen to what further abuses the
word mutual" would have been put,
possibly as the result of his mistake.
One man can not be the mutual
friend" of two other men. Since the
word signifies one thing "acting in re-
turn or correspondence to another"
things are mutual only as between two
objects. A friend who is the friend of
two other people is their common
friend, not their mutual friend.
Two persons may have mutual lik-
ing or a mutual distaste because each may
like or dislike the same thing under the
same conditions and the feeling may be
a part of one, at the same time, as much
as of the other; but friend who is the
friend of each is simply common friend,
and is in no sense mutual" to them.
Where the misuse of word like this
may bring up is well indicated by a
phrase which was not long ago employed
by certain public official in introduce
ing a friend to another and a higher
official
Il want you to treat this man as we'll
asyou can, said the introducer, because
he's very mewchal friend of mine!"
Evidently he thought that mutual"
means dear, just as some people think
that "condign" punishment means very
severe punishment, whereas the word
"condign' simply means suitable, fitted
to the occasion, and may be applied to a

Topped ears are the result of domesti-
cation in all animals except the elephant.
Not only carnivorous animals, but all
animals which are liable to be preyed
upon by others, need the erect mobile
funnel shaped ear to catch every sound;
the one class to apprise them OF the vi
cinity of their prey, the other to keep
them on their guard against unseen
foes; and the constant exercise of the
external organ gives tone and energy to
the muscles which move it.
The elephant, too probably came of
an ancestral stock that had erect ears,
but for ages past there has been no Great
ure powerful enough to cause it alarm,
and for want of exercise the muscles
which move the ear have lost tone and
wasted away, leaving the ear to lop or
hang pendulous
The tendency to lop the ear varies
much in different animals. Rabbits lop
their ears after a comparatively short
period of domestcation, and with the
exception of dogs IRE almost the only
lop cared animals il Europe or America;
but in Oriental countries all the domestic
animals are more or less lop cared, a
fact which suggests that they have been
much longer under domestication than
their congeners in Christendom.
East Indian goats have long pendulous
ears, sometimes over a foot in length
and soft as silk. The ears of the Indian
donkey stand out horizontally; those of
the zebu or Indian OK, droop below the
bor;1on+,l l;pa ,pd Gonna braaIs of Ori-
entail horses carry their ears nearly hori-
zontal, although the Arab horse shows
no such tendency.
The greatest measure of variability in
this matter of Topped ears is to be found
among dogs. Spaniels, settlers, pointers,
bloodhounds, beagles, and foxhounds,
all have long pendulous ears; bulldogs,
terriers, collies, and grayhounds droop
only the tips of their ears; the spitz has
erect ears, while mastiffs and many
other breeds have short pendulous or
semi-pendulous ears.
1t might be inferred that the more
pendulous cared dogs have been longer
under domestication and that the more
prick cared dogs have been derived from
wild stock at a comparatively recent
period; but something may be due to
accidental variation and careful selec-
ton in breeding.
In general, Topped ears result from
ages of disuse OF the muscles which
move the ears, and which in wild ami
mails are in constant activity; and it ap-
pears that ears which have become pend
ulous tend to increase in length,
