T}IE HURON EXPOSITOR.,
Vegetable Animals.
BY B4OBBBT ARNOLD.
What is an animal, and what a vege-
table ? Most persons are in the habit
of thinking them entirely different, but
who can draw the line of distinction be-
tween them ? envier, the celebrated
naturalist, thought that motion, the
power of moving about at will, was a
lacuna' which animals had and which
vegetables had. not.; yet the sponges
and corals of the ocean are composed of
innumerable animals which cannot
change their places any more than cab-
bages oan.
There are animals that have not
muscles, or nerves, or mouths,
stomachs 4 yet they move, they eat
they digest. There are in ponds, pia
so small that a teaspoon would h
thousands of them, which move almost
with the rapidity of lightning. Our
microscopes are not powerful enoughsto
show us their organs of locomotion, but
they undoubtedly have them.
Animals eat and drink. Plants eat
and drink, too, and some are exceeding-
ly fond of animal food. The "sundew,"
a little plant that grows in low, marshy
land, has small round leaves with a
hairy fringe. At the end of each hair
is a drop, apparently of water, but real-
ly of extremely sticky secretion. An
insect comes along and alights on the
leaf. If but one of its toes touches the
shining drop his doom is sealed. He
becomes the mildew's dinner.
In marshy places in North Caro
grows the Venus's fly -trap. Ev
leaf has a row of spikesso arran
that when the lobes of the leaf
closed the spikes interlock, so t
nothing can pass them. If a fly alig
on the leaf he gets a "pressing" invi
tion to dinner, which he is alwa
compelled to accept. The strang
thing about the plant is that its lea
will not close upon a piece of wood,
a button, or anything else that is n
food.
The nepenthes, or pitcher -plants,
India, also catch and digest insec
The leaves are shaped liked pitche
The rim of each pitcher is smear
with something which looks and tas
like honey, and which continues so
distance into the pitcher. Then t
surface beeomes as smooth as t
smoothest glass. The insect slid
down this inclined plane to the botto
of the pitcher and plunges into an ac
which kills it. These pitchers are
reality stomachs, and they digest a fl
or a bit of beef or mutton exactly as
human stomach digests its food.

It is said that animals have instinc
at least, if not reason, and vegetable
have not. Do not be too sure of the:
Mr. Darwin saw the tendril of a climb
ing plant voluntarily withdraw from
hole in a, wall after it had chosen it an
remained fixed in it for thirty-si
hour ; and it is a fact that the ten
tacles and leaf of the sundew will mos,
a little distance upward after a fly—an
catch him, too!
Perhaps some wise person will ask if
animals can be propagated by slips, as
plants can, and smiles while he asks.
Certainly ; that's the easiest thing in
the world. The common hydra,
abounding in ponds, can be cut into
twenty pieces and each piece will be-
come a perfect hydra. If the body he
cut in two, length -wise, the parts will
grow together again, and, if the two
parts be kept separate, each will be-
come a hydra. The same is true of
jelly -fishes.
Professor Huxley says : "The dif
ference between an animal and a plan
is one of degree rather than of kind
and the problem whether, in a given
case, an organism is an animal or a
plant may be essentially insoluble."
So, to be on the safe side, I shall call
Each things as the sun -dew, Venus's fly-
trap, and so forth, vegetable animals.
How Spurgeon Preaches.
In, the vast throng, the -eye soon
recognizes the central - figure of the
whole. If he were not there, the pastor
of this imnaense flock, one might spec-
ulate, ignorant of his absence. Is not
that perhaps he, or the other ? But,
being there, no doubt can exist. The
one figure comes out to which all others
are a setting—a full, pallid face, with
thick, iron -grey hair and afringe of
dark beard. As the clock over head
shows the half-hour, the pastor comes
forward, and at once the confused
sound ceases—the shuffling of feet, the
frou-frou of dresses, the nervous cough
that runs over the area like the rattle
otsfile-firing, and a profound stillness
greets the first words of prayer. The
voice is worn with much service, even
husky in the higher notes, but admir-
ably managed and modulated so as to
reach every corner of the wide arena.
We feel at once that we are in the
presence of a born orator. With-
out book or scrap of note, there is, from
the firet, a confident easy flow of well-
chosen words. Some distinguished
orators put yon in a cool perspiration
till they have fairly warmed to their
work, but with Mr. Spurgeon all is ease
and self-conscious power which inspire
confidence in the listener. It is part of
the preacher's system not to spare
himself in any way, but to give the
whole service -the emphasis of his own
unaided powers. His reading of scrip-
ture is accompanied by a running com-
mentary that is a kind of preliminary
sermon, and he gives out each verse of
the hymn with appropriate feeling and
action. There is no organ, and it ex-
cites a certain feeling of disparity of
means to end, when an elderly precent-
or leans forward from the tribune and
sounds a tuning -fork to lead off the
psalmody—the assemblage is so big and I
the tuning fork so small. But the I
singing itself is disappointing. There is
not that grand outpburing one might !
expect from such an assemblage.
A great deal of the charm of Mr.
Spargeon.'s discourse -k -and there is a
powerful charm about it, causing time ;
to flow on unperceived and the risk of
losing a train to be disregarded—is due I
to the ease and certainty of delivery
and the good English in which it is ex-
pressed. If the preacher in former days
sometimes sacrificed gbod taste to force
of expression, time and experience have
toned down such exuberances. But

Making Kid Gloves.
The Troy (N. Y.) Times gives a des-
cription of glove manufacture in a own
near Troy as follows:
"In this factory nearly all the stook
need is imported from France. ' The
skins on arriving at the factory are first
put through the process of "shav ng,"
which is done with a broad chisel, and
all the irhperfeot parts of the leather
are cat off. The skins are then t ken
to•the table cutting room, where t irty
cutters are employed in cutting the
skins into oblong pieces, after which
they are sent to the slitting room, here
the fingers are cut and the gloves!. are
ready for the sewing machines. Thence
we follow them to the making -r om,
where ninety steam sewing mach. nes,
run by women, are kept busy stito ing
the seams, and twenty other wome are
engaged in working the buttonholesand
putting on buttons. The gloves are now
ready for the "laying off" rooms, wh re a
number of long, hollow forms, like out-
stretched hands, are stood upright rom
a table. 1.1 dne wore in need of a ood
warm shake of the hand, he cora be
accommodated here, for each of these
hollow forms is filled. with steam, andgives the gloves that peculiar s ape
they have before being worn. Ano, her
room is the, sorting room, where the
various colorand sizes are sorted nd
fitted for the market. In the stitc ing
process is a peculiar sewing mac ine
which does the beautiful over-stitc ing
of the seams., In this factory over 200
hands are employed and about 75 dozen
pairs of gloves made daily. The glove
cutters average from $75 to $90 per
month in wages, and the makers (wo-
men) from $30 'to $40 per month. A
beautiful glove is now being made
called the mosquetaire, from imported
Inocha skins, but dressed in the village,
which is. better than any impoited
glove, and the day seems to be coming
when American -gloves will be knowe as
the superior to all other makes. The
skins used will cut on an aver ge abrnt
two pairs of gloves."
The House of Muddle.
Are you, familiar with the house t at
is always in a muddle ? where the s o• ell
of washing is constant, where the sitt ng
room is a heap of litter with thi • P'
mending, getting up or taking to pie•es,
where dirty children are running ab o ut,
falling and squalling alternatively, at all
hours of the day, where there is pett ng
and dangling one moment and scold ng
and beating the next; where nothitat is
clean, nothing mended, nothing rea F y,
nothing done. And in the midst of :11
there is the untidy, worn-out, distre ed
house -wife herself, bitter against sir -
vents, wroth with the children, s-
tonished at husband's complaints, xot
pleased at untimely visitors (who, y
the way are always untimely at such
houses), and in a constant pucker frcm
morn till night because things don't go
right, because things won't go rig t.
And the oddest thing of all in su h
houses is that the more work the ra re
dirt ; the bigger the washings the great-
er the stock of dirty clothes, the mere
strainings at comfort the Ines comf rt
there is. In such a house inanimate
things are endowed with strange pow rs
of locomotion; and an agency, or power
or a person called Nobody, whose ve y
existence is denied in better regulat d
houses, seems to become invested wi h
almost supernatural powers of evil. IA
chair leg has got broken or a _dish has
fallen down and been smashed, or the
table has got scratched, or a dress lil
got torn. It is always nobody that dd.
it ; or if not, then the things have bro
en, or torn, or scratched themselves— 1-
together of their own accord and out 4of
sheer spite and mischief. No living
being is to blame ; it does itself.

Why tPrairies are Treeless.
A curious and interesting explanation
of the absence of trees on the great
western prairies was given at the met-
ing of the academy of Natural Sciences
by Mr. Thomas Meehan. Numberleas
theories have been advanced by stud-
ents in natural history why the great
feeding ground of the buffalo should he
without , arborescent vegetation, t e
principal one, which is supported y
distinguished authors, being that f
climatic influence. Mr. Meehan's th'
ory is that the absence of trees is due
artificial, causes altogether. Tanght y
their, necessities, the early Indiais
made it a practice annually to fire the
high grass of the prairies, which had
the. effect of making the growth mo e
luxuriant and consequently more i -
viting to the vast herds of buffalo, on
which the aborigines depended greatly
for sustenance. It has been concluii-
ively settled that no vegetation, Bettie
the hardy prairie grass, will appear on
ground over which fire has swept, until
another Beason, so that the yearly
prairie fires extended the area of the
plateauuntil they had become almc4t
measureless. Mr. Meehan cited several
instances where trees had grown when
the firing had been discontinued. T e
hypothesis was both pleasing an
plausible, and has excited some disco
sion among the savants.
A Glenholm Story.
About the end of last century, before
the parishes of Broughton, Glenholn
and. Kilbucho had been united, th
minister of Glenholna was a Mr. Ha
dane or Haydn, as he was generall
styled. He was a, strict disciplinaria
and made a very vigorous- attempt
have family worship duly establish
in every home in his little parish. On
of his flock, a Mr. John Cairns, wa
among the last to yield to his injunction
and Mr. Haldane latterly was success,-
ful in getting bird to attempt the per;.
formance of this duty. On the first
occasion, when John was on his knees
TT
longer, he looked up in his face an
asked angrily, "Crawlin' deevil when1
