GRAVELS OF THE GLACIAL AGE.

Some 10000 or more years ago the con-
ditionS which had brought about the great
ice age were beginning to change. The
elevated land began to sink, and a higher
temperature slowly followed The long
winter was gradually drawing to a close,
and the great springtime of the world was
beginning to hasten its influence upon an
ice covered land. Tons, rather mountains.
OF ice began to melt, and the water filled
the river valleys to overlooking. Gravel
sand and mud were borne along bv these
raging waters and deposited wherever the
conditions were favorable. Ice RATS COW
cred the surface of the food bearing rocks
and powders from more northern lands
All rivers which had glacial sources were
greatly influenced by the final melting. As
the southern part of the ice sheet rested
over northern Pennsylvania the Delaware
and the Susquehanna were typical rivers of
the age. The rocks and gravels which line
their banks show how well they have kept
the record. In the Delaware valley brick
clay and gravel are laid out in beautiful
terraces, especially at Stroudsburg and the
Water Gap. Here the waters rose some
200 feet, and an artificial dam is supposed
to have formed the river into Il broad lake.
The Indians, it is said, have curious
legend about this flood. They tell us that
the "Minsies' were the first race which
dwelt here, and the region round about
they call "Minisink," meaning that
the waters are gone"--a vague remem-
brancc perhaps of the postglacial foods
Lippincott's.

THE EARTH IS RUNNING SLOW.

Lord Kelvin estimates that the running
slow OF the earth in its daily rotation
round its axis amounts to - seconds per
century.
The main cause OF this retardation is the
friction of which has been calculated by
this eminent physicist to be equal to a
weight of i,0OO,OO tons applied on the
equator.
Other causes have also to be taken into
account-as, for example, the increase in
the size OF the EARTH due to the falling on
1t of meteoris dust, which, if deposited at
the rate OF one foot in 1000 years, would
produce the observed retardation by itself.
Such phenomenon as the annual growth
and melting of snow and ice at the poles
is introducing irregularities into the prob
lem, the growth at the poles, by abstract
ing water from the other parts of the
ocean, accelerating the earth S motion, and
the melting, by restoring the water, re-
tarding it.
Against the retarding forces there has to
be taken into account probable accelera-
ton, due to the gradual sinking of the
earth by cooling, but Lord Kelvin believes
it to be very small-perhaps not more than
one-siX-thousindth part OF the retardaton
due to tidal friction.
Professor Newcomb has declared from
astronomical considerations that the earth
went slow and lost seven seconds between
1850 and 1862, and then went fast and
gained eight seconds between 1862 and
1872, changes of rate applicable by possible
changes in the earth's shape, so slight as to
be quite understandable in astronomical
observations.

A SPOILED DOMESTIC.

Families who are entirely dependent on
one person are to be pitied, because the
time inevitably comes when that prop fails,
or is removed, and the structure that it
supported tumbles into ruin. Such cases
are observable everywhere, and the situa-
ton is at times pathetic, at times humor-
Gus. The present incident belongs to the
latter class.
Mary Blake was domestic in family
where she had lived more years than she
had fingers on both hands, and she was as
much an integral part of that family as the
head of it, Mr.. Munson. The one hope of
these good people was that Mary Blake
would neither die or resign. one
horn OF the dilemma would have been as
serious to them as the other.
She was model domestic in every way,
a cook that would have put to shame the
greatest chel in the country with her we'll
seasoned Dishes an exceller t laundress,
and when there was sickness, ii capable
nurse. Added to these rare qualities was

they had long been accustomed to- and the
good order OF grateful sacrifice arose from
the altar where dust and ashes had gath
cred.
Then great scheme entered Mr. Mum
sons head He felt that they had never
apprt cated the services OF this excellent
domestic and one morning he sent for her
to come to the breakfast room while the
family were seated at the table
GLOW are you feeling now?n he asked
considerably.
Ppm all right, SIR" answered Mary
Blake.
"oh, no; not all right. You limp little
yet"
But it don't hurt a bit. Pm as right
as IN ever be-"
That's it, Mary" said Mr. Munson;
you have received IA shock that you can
never get over. You will always be lame
and feel the effects of that fall"
"lf you mean" began the woman in il
choking voice, that Pm not able to do
much work, or earn my wages, just say SO,
and I'll he after leavin at once"
1T has cost you all the money you saved
up for your hospital expenses and was a

the girl, with look OF surprise.

when he took legal view of the accident
On so many Slight links hangs the chain of
consequences
One day Mary Munson sought her
mother.
There's lady in the parlor to see you,'
she said, with sparkling eyes
"Who is she?" asked Mrs. Munson. Her
daughter was laughing, but would not
tell. Mrs. Munson went into the parlor
with company smile on her face.
"Gracious Mary Blake! Is it possible?"
The funny looking object that she was
almost made Mrs. Munson laugh too She
was dressed in cheap blue MORE silk, wore
feather bedecked hat, and an imitation
seal coat. Her pudgy hands were crowded
into yellow kid gloves.
81 wouldn't have known YOU said
Mrs. Munson. "You look so fine

son, when her caller had left, ''at the rapid
pace she is going, NIarys damage fund
wont last forever and sac may get back her
senses and her usefulness when it is gone"
1t is this hope that sustains the family
under the trial OF burned biscuits, soggy
bread and general misrule, when Mr.. Mum
son is heard to remark, mournfully, that
he wishes he had left well enough alone

WHY PHYSICIANS USE AN "R."

\ woman of an investigating turn of
mind started out the other day to discover
why physicians begin their prescriptions
with the letter ar. " Well, she found out,
but it took time and caused her some
trouble. 1t seems that during the middle
ages, when astrology was in fashion,
character very much like our "R'' was
the sign of Jupiter, the preserver of health.
The physicians, being then equally de-
voted to the science of medicine and
astrology, invariably began their prescript-
ions with the following words In the
name of Jupiter take the following doses
in the order set down hereinafter" In
the course of time this formula was abbre-
waited, until at present only the letter Ar
remains to teach us that the medical art
was once associated with the science of the
stars.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1895-04-06

that of contented mind aud fairly good
temper. \ little stolid, perhaps, and fond
of her own way. which was such a good
one that it needed no interference.
This was the aggregate of Mary Blake ;
virtues and the MunsonS depended upon
her to such an extent that it really seemed
as if any men ber of the family could have
been spared with less friction to its running
gear.
That child who amended her nightly
prayer by adding the sentiment and thine
be the kitchen, the parlor and the glory, -
petitioned better than she knew. If there
are a hundred rooms in 4 house or only
two, the kitchen is the most important
factor in the we'll being of the family. 1t
is the heart OF the domestic system, and its
life-giying arteries reach through parlor
and guest chamber with reyiving influence.
And the goddess OF the shrine is the plain,
hard working woman who views heaven
and earth through the back door.
-hulN lfllht was usually tttllth Wy
full name to distinguish her from Mary
Munson, the daughter of the famiiy-was
as much attached to the people she had
lived with so many years as is possible for
those who are neither kith nor kin to their
employers. 1t was her nature to be loyal,
hardworking, patient and steady. The
II, .,l,.,
husband and family of her own was on
account of a strong dislike she had to men.
She tolerated Mr.. Munson, but hat no
special liking for him. And she was that
treasure in the family, a girl" without
followers.
One morning Mary Blake came to grief.
She went out the back way with IA pitcher
in her hand, walked ii block or two, on an
errand at neIghboring grocery store, and
returning, fell on defective sidewalk,
where she lay helpless, dazed and hurt.
Some one found her, telephoned for an
ambulance, and she was carried OIL to a
hospital, where serious fracture of the
hip was reduced by surgeon and she was
laid on IA white cot in the city ward, from
which place she sent word of her misfor-
tune to the Munson family.
1t was severe blow to them, but under
their grief lurked the hope that Mary
Blake was not permanently injured, but
would return to them, and they did every
thing to make her comfortable and help
her to get well.
The best that was promised them was
that at the end of three months she would
be well enough to leave the hospital, and
Mrs. Munson expressed fear to her hus-
band that such long rest might render
Mary Blake useless; She might not want to
do battle with the pots and pans again.
And Mr.. Munson had said:
Don't you worry, mdear. was in
the hospital myself once, and it isn't as
much fun to lie and rest with broken
back as you think it is. I'd rather work
by the day, myself"
At the end of six weeks Mary Blake
walked in upon them She looked white
and walked with "a slight limp, but after
she had taken off her things and given Ole
look around the kitchen, the new girl who
had supplied her place said she was ready
to leave, and the cat retired under the
stove.
By slow degrees order grew out of chaos.
The Munsons, who had been hanging on
the edge of domestic precipice, returned
to the peaceful daily methods of existence
