A Happy Thought.

/ Col. F. G. skinner. in Turf. Field and Farm.
But, my friends, you have factor en-
tirely within your own control, more philo-
sophical, more gentle, yet far more effectual
in attaining the desired end than any yet
suggested and that factor is the teaching
in your country schools, the curriculum of
which, am told, is sadly deficient in com :
mon sense and practical usefulness OF
course the three Rs, little geography and
Il little history are taught, but has there
ever been an attempt made to inculate the
simplest elementary rudiments of natural
science? Among your legion of country
school teachers, whose special mission it is
to teach the children of farmers. is there a
single one who has even sought to impress
upon his pupils the supreme dignity of
agriculture, the nursing mother of all the
arts, over all other human pursuits? And
that there is more true nobility and man
hood in guiding sturdy OK and in tracing
straight furrow with pillow than in part
ing the hair in the middle and vaulting
nlmbly over a counter to measure ribbons
and tape with yardstick Have you
single teacher who is capable or who is in
clined to impart to his pupils the slightest
ideas of the geology, the botany and the
fauna of the district in which he was born
or ever attempted to teach them the true
relation of the lower orders of creation to
man and to agriculture and to deliver them
from the many cruel superstitions which
they have inherited in this regard and
demonstrate to them that the owls and
other nocturnal birds, the woodpecker fam
lily, from the great ivory bill to the wee
sapsucker, and all the tribe of harmless
reptiles, such as the toad, the frog, the liz
zard, the graceful garter snake and others,
all of which they eagerly seek to destroy
at every opportunity-so far from being
the farmers enemies are his best allies by
the incessant war which they wage on the
rats, mice and other rodents and on the
multitudinous insects which are ever prey
ing on his crops? Let your teachers disa-
busc them of the false impression which
from the earliest days to the present still
fingers among the uneducated, that our
wise and bene6eent game laws were en-
acted, not for the benefit Of privileged
class, but for the whole community in which,
fortunately such class cannot exist, in the
face of the noble declaration made by our
fathers on the 4th of July, 1776, that all
men are created free and equal

Newspaper Writing.
From the Paper World.

FROM inc fAper W0rlu.
When people look at the numerous vol

cray, it strikes them that these great
writers did an enormous amount of work.
says well-known newspaper man. The
mechanical labor of producing so many
books is in itself something remarkable.
but busy newspaper man writes more 10
a year than successful novelist does in
twenty years. An active reporter grinds
out, at low estimate, 1900 words day.

equivalent in quantity to the reading mat
ter of nearly six three hundred page novels
Some reporters have been at work from
twenty to forty years. At the very low
average we have given, busy journalist
would write in ten years j,040, 900 words;
in twenty years 10,0s0,O00 words; in thirty
years 15,120,000 words, or an amount of
matter equivalent to pa, novels of 300
pages each, the work of any fifty industri-
Gus novelists.
II is evident from these figures that
newspaper writing represents hard work
But let US 90 little further with these
statistics. In order to write twenty words
mans fingers travel over thes space of foot
with two or three distinct movements in
the formation of each letter At this rate
it will be seen that, as there are $3.50 feet
in mile, newspaper man in forty years
makes his his pencil travel about 1875 miles
with vertical and lateral motion. This
work is aside from the reporters time and
labor spent in getting his facts, but even
this superficial calculation should make it
plain that the mechanical or physical labor
of writing is much greater than the general
public suppose. We have in our mind
writer who gets up only column day,
but there are men who average two orlhree
columns daily To figure out the product
and labor of such toilcrs would stagger
belief and would cause many young men
% give up their journalistic aspirations.

THE STORY OF LIFE.
BY JOHN C. SANE.

say. what is life? 'Tis to be born;
\ hapless babe, to greet the light
With sharp wall, as If the morn
Foretold a cloudy noon and night;
To weep, to sleep and weep again,
With sunny smiles between, and them
And then apace the infant grows
To be laughing, sprightly boy.
Happy despite his little woes,
We're he but conscious of his joy;
To be, in short, from two TO ten,
a merry. moody child: and them
And then, in coat and trousers clad.
To learn TO say the Decalogue.
And break il, an unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog:
truant oft by field and fen.
To capture butterflies. and then?
And then, increased in strength and size.
To be, anon, a youth full grown
A hero in his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his own;
To initiate the ways ofmen
In fashionable sins and then?
And then, at last, 10 be a man.
To fall in love; to WOO and we'd:
With soothing brain to scheme and plan,
To gather gold, or toll for bread;
To sue for fame with tongue or pen.
And gain or lose the prize: and them
And then in gray and wrinkled eld
To mourn the speed of lifes decline:
To praise the scenes his youth beheld,
And dwell in memory of Lang-Sync.
To dream while with darkened ken,
Then drop into his grave, and then?

Do the SUMS Rays Put Out Fire P

Last summer while making Que of my
regular weekly excursions in search Of
curious natural history specimens hap
pened upon some wood choppers who we're
burning brush One of these gentlemen
being regular reader of "Notes for the
Curious, put the following question:
"Why does the sun, shining on fire.
deaden its heat, suppress the rays and often
put it out entircly?" had never even
heard hint of the idea before. and was
perfectly staggered. | admitted my ina
bility to answer the question off hand
Returning home | repaired to the library
and consulted Brewers Guide to Scientific
knowledge, where the answer is as follows
Because the air, being rarifed by sun
shine, flows more slowly to the fire, and
secondly, because the chemical action Of
the suns rays is detrimental to combus-
ton.
