Home Paper, a Friend.

The local paper should be
found in every home. No child
rem should grow up ignorant
who can be taught to appreciate
the home paper. It is said to be
the stepping stone of intelli-
gence in all those matters not to
be found in hooks. Give your
children a foreign paper which
contains not a word about any
person place or thing, which
they saw or perhaps ever heard
of, how could you expect them to
b. interested. But let them
have the home paper and read Of
people whom they meet and of
places of which they are familiar
and soon an interest is awakened
which increases with every ar.
rival of the local paper. Thus a
habit of reading is formed and
those children will read the
papers all their lives and. become
intelligent men and women, a
credit to their ancestors, strong
in knowledge of the world as it
is today.-Roseau Advertiser.

Peculiar Light Giving Animals.

A peculiar light giving animal found
in southern Californian waters is the
heteropod.. The metropolis, dazzling
white and almost shapeless, can often
be seen floating on the clear water.
Their bodies are almost transparent,
and they have in addition to a long
tail powerful sucker, by which they
cling to seaweed. When these crea-
lures are irritated they seem to emit
light from all over the body. though
one writer describes one In which the

Is said to be the most wonderful. Like
the heteropod, this animal Is provided
with claspers that enable it to fasten
to seaweed and rocks. So plentiful are
they In Californian waters that the
Santa Catalina channel, which is from
eighteen to twenty miles wide and
about forty-flve miles long, is at times
literally covered with them as far as
the eye can reach. Covering the entire
surface and cleaning like gems in the

The Era of the YOUNG.

The present is certainly the
ezra of the Young" The world
has seen the "stone age," the
dark age," "the age of iron, ="

one of New York's principal
theatres was occupied by play
in which the leading role was

Rivers That Flow Backward.


Near Argostoli, town on one Of the
Greek islands, four little torrents Of
sea water, rolling on an average fifty
five gallons second, penetrate into
the assures Of the cliffs, flow rapidly
inland and finally gradually disappear
into the crevices Of the soil. Two Of
these water courses are sufficiently
powerful to turn all the year round the
wheels of two mills constructed by
an enterprislng Englishman. This
seems at first sight absurd on the face
Of it, but it is quite easily explained.
The hills Of the island are of soft, cal
careous rock, full Of assures, and suck
up water like immense sponges: In
consequence the pools in their subter-
ranean caverns are always lower than
the surrounding sea, so to restore the
balance these little brooks, fed by the
waves, are always descending inland.
The curious yet natural result of the
constant evaporation Of the sea water
is that gigantic masses of salt crystals
are constantly forming in the caves
