Days Five OF Six Hours Long.

As the evidence of tho earth's crust
proves that our globe has lasted for in.
calculablo ages, it bcco nes Of interest
to think how far the gradual elongation
of the day may have attained significant
proportions since very early times. 1t
may be tina. in thousand years the ef-
feet of the tides is not sufficient to alter
tho length of the day by so much as a
single second. But the effect may be
very apprccitble or even largo in a
million years, or ten million years, or
hundred million years. We havo the
best reasons for knowing that in inter
walls of time comparable with those have
mentioned the change in the length of
the day may have amounted, not merely
to seconds or minutes, but even to hours.
Looking into the remote past, there was
time at which this globe spun around
IN twenty three hours, instead OF twenty
four; at still earlier period the rate
must have been twcnty hours, and the
further we look back the more and more
rapidly does tue earth appear to be spin.
Mug. At last, as we strain our gaze tc
some epoch so excessively remote that il
appears to have been anterior to those
changes which geology recognizes, we
see that our globe was spinning round in
period OF six hours, or five hours, or
possibly even less. Here then is lesson
which the tides have taught us; they
have shown that if the causes Mt present
in operation have subsistcd without in-
terruption for sufficiently long period
in the past the day must have gradually
grown to its present length from au
initial condition in which the earth
seems to have spun around four times as
quickly as it does at present. Good

WILD FLOWERS AND THEIR CULTURE.
People usually make too hard work of
,cultivating wild plants. They are apt to
attempt to initiate the natural conditions
under which they find the plants. This,
to certain extent, is wise, but in most
cases it is easily carried too far. The
problem is simplltied when we once come
to understand that wild plants grow
where they are obliged to grow, rather
Shan where they desire to grow. BE.

HOW TO KILL BRUSH AND BRIARs.

! To farmers who live in timbercd re-
'gion this question is an interesting prob.
lem. There is a theory with some,
lwho ought to know, that there is day,
with the moon in right quarter and the
.sign nf Zodiac in the right place, that a
tree or shrub should be out to kill it
root aud branch. All this sounds we'll
enough to them, but years of experience
has failed to verify such theories. A
,sapling may be cut in the winter that
will never sprout. and it may he cut in
the light of the moon in August, when
the sign is in the heart, and sprouts will
appear abundanty. We cut brush
every day in the year, and some will die
no matter when they were cut, and some
will not do. Ii sprouting is done twice
year, say June and August, for two or
three years, no sprouts will appear tho
next year unless it be sasya(raS or post
oak runners.
The whole secret Of killing, other
than grubbing, seems to be in sap pois.
oning. The sap must sour, which kills
the roots. Hence some practice cutting
the stumps foot or more in hegth.
An experiment Of this kind showed a
decided gain, sine tho stumps rotted
out in fous years line from cutting.
The killing OF brars, especially aew
berries, battle all skill and Industry.
AT one time i. seemed they were gone,
but when tho land was a:st down to
