lierW MA NI HAS IMPROVED.
The relation of man to nature pri
mordially and of savage roues in the
prudent day le, as we know very differ -
nut from WWt it has been represented
to be by petite and. thilosophers. In
the dehgetful picture their fano) paint-
ed there was nothing true ; the idylie
cuedttions amid whioh they fancied the
still youthful race as living 'sever had
exieteuce anywhere. The history of
meal the world over has its beginning
not in a golden age, but in au age of
moue. lustoad of noble shepherds and
lovelyallepherdeseee who, under benig-
uaut kissua aud picturesque limes, live
iu itinoceuce on the produce of their
vflooks, decorously eujoyiug all the
purest gifts ef fertuue, the reality pre.
emits to aur view rude, uncouth hordes
struggling against huuger, wId beasts,
agtouet the itiuleineucy of the seasons;
buried iu tltth, in grovelling ignorance
(tea brutal eellishuese ; their woman
mole slaves, their old people oust out ;
practising eitamb tibun first out of no-
cessit, and then because supers itious
utatio had hallowed the custom.
Into the mental stets of such things
we eau euter as little as into that of
childree. We cannot strip uurselves ot
the acquisitious made by the geuera-
tious whose successors we are, and
whose priceless hoardings of the
fruits of their labor now inure to our
benefit. if, as Paul Broca teaches, the
mean cerebral mash of Parisians in the
preseut day exceeds that of Parisians
in the twelfth century, may we not as-
sume our brain to have, by ti process of
gradual improvement become more
highly developed than the braiu of the
men of the stone age, 100,000 years
ago ? And this braiu, more perfect is it
by nature, has beeu, at an early period
of its life, subjected to innumerable nu•
conscious inflnences, and, later, to toe
couseious iutlueuces of education, whioh
render in some sense incommensurable
with the brain of those as yet half brute
creatures.
STILL 'HAPPY.
For the past two weeks a Woodward
A.venne druggist has put upu prescrip-
tion of some kind or other about four
times a day for a certain small boy, be-
sides filling orders for a large variety of
patent medicines aud porus plaster. The
sales were alt cash, but the druggist's
curiosity was at length aroused aud he
said to the lad :
"Got sickness in the family 2"
'etsinder," was the reply.
"Your father 2"
"Yes—all bat me. Ma is using the
plasters for a lame side, and taking the
touio for a rash wuich broke out on her
arm. Pa takes the trochee for tickling
in the throat 'nd uses the arnica on the
skin. Louisa uses the catarrh snuff
and the cough medicine, Bill wauts
the brandy for a sprained aekle, and
the squills are for the baby. That's all
but grandma, and the persoription is to
relieve the pain in the chest and make
her sletp herder."
"Rather unfortunate family," re-
marked the druggists.
"Well, kinder, but pa says it is
°helper than going to the seashore,and
so we plaster up and swallow dowu and
feel purty happy after al"
TEE TIME TO CUT GRAIN.
The appearance of the stubble fields
after harvest shows very olearly that
there le ranch waste by the shelling of
over -ripe grain, A much larger portion
of the crop is lost in this way than is
suspected. Ten per cent. would not be
too high an estimate of this lose, as re-
gards the oat and backwheat mops, and
5 per cent. in wheet, rye, and barley,
In the aggregate the whole loan will
reach without doubt to 40,000,000 of
bushels )early. Perhaps some loss in
oats and buckwheat cannot be avoided,
but with the other crops the whole har-
vest might he secured without any loss ;
and, he addition, an increase in the
value might be eeenred if the grain
should be out before lull ripening. Ii
lie now more than 20 years since OUtit-
bert W. Johnson, an English termer
and agricultural writer, made some ex-
periments by which it was proved that
i
. wheat, cut in its first stage of ripening,
1 posaessed a higher value for flour and
; b ,
read .11.‘ well as a greater weight per
measured Welled, than that cut when
fully ripe. Ie addition. the straw was
4nnal to be (note valitable for fodder,
During the feat process of ripening a
portion of the nutritive matter ie ellen-
ea into husk nil woody fibre, the bran
is thicker and heavier, and the kernel
shrinks in bulk and deueity. The Arid
stage of ripening ie the change from
what we kuow as " the milk " into a
sottish solid granular matter. When
this is complete the kernel can be crash-
ed between the Angeruade into a dry
floury eubstance, and hail not reached
the hard, almost flinty texture, which
marks the fully -ripened grain. The
straw in this early stage still retains
genie greennees, aud has not yet become
dry and brittle. This is the beat point
for harvesting. Thee is then the 'ea.(
bete by libelling of the grain ; the grain
is in the best condition ; it cures plump,
of a good color, with a thin bran, and
a. kernel rich in starch. The straw .is
not broken down, and the labor of bar
voting is lighter then at any other
time. The fins' process of ripening,
Well is simply the ascent of whatever
sap may be yet centained in the stalk
into the grain, and its elaboration into
starch, gluten, and 11111100i1 matter, or
the fnll development of the elemente of
perfect grain is carried on in the eheck,
in which the grain is protected from
the drying and shrinking effects of the
annis beat and the wind, The leas by
evaporation is thereforprevented, and
the weight and quality of the grain is
preserved. It is important that every
item of economy in the saving of the
fruits of onr labor should be studied
and this is in reality no triiliug nue
A FATAL CAROUSE.
There are evidently tnedioal students
in Berlin who are as great idiots as our
Princeton etudeute, A few days ago.
says the Burgerzeitung, &candidate who
mid just huished his studies and wits
about to begin practice, invited a num-
ber of his colleagues to a festal eveuing,
The hero of the eolensuity devoted him-
self with Huh energy to Gammbrinuts
that he foudd it lar more easy to sing,
tnau to speak, aud tumbled home in
uproarious excitement. When he ar-
rived at his lodgings he threw up his
wiudow and leaued out in order to
breathe the cold winter air. and to ex-
pel his buruiug Baiiehie heat. After a
short time he was struck with a violent
priokiug and smarting iu the eyes. Ile
closed the window aud went to bed.
When he awoke the next morning he
found the room in darkness and con-
cluded that it must still be night. Be
tried in vain to fall asleep again. After
a while the landlaay knuoked at hie
door and asked if he were ill, as he
was lying so late iu bed.
"What do you mean ?" asked he,
"I shall get up as soon as it is light."
eielaimed the woman, "it hen
been wear daylight these two hours."
"Oh 1" oiled he,"is it possible that 1
became blind last night 2"
Ills surmise was true. He had
lost the power of vision while trying to
shill himself into soberness at the op-
en window. This frightful discovery
so wrought upon the young doctor that
he hill into a violent fever, which car-
ried him offiu the following week.
ION
A TUTOR of one of the Oxford colleges
who limped in his walk was some years
ago accosted by a well-known politician,
who asked him if he was not the chap-
lain of the college at such a time, na-
ming the year. The doctor replied
that he was. The interrogator ob-
served: "1 knew you by your limp."
"Well," said the doctor, "it seems my
limping made a deeper impression than
my Preaching." "Ali, doctor, was the
reply, with ready wit, "it is the high-
est compliment we can pay a minister
to say he is known by his walk rather
than by his conversation."
