One common foundation cause forms the basis of oui non success in the education of aui- inals, and it is the root and result ant cause of the evils that follow. We presume that all animals at birth possess hereditary vice, and that vice must be eradicated be fore the animal can become a use ful servant to "man. This is most certainly a mistake, and one that leads up to numerous evils. The tea.me erroneous practice prevails in the training of horses, bulls, ■dogs, etc., but it is probably in the training of horses that the great est mischief results. In the education of a colt or filly, or a young bull, the same care is needed as that of a. Uhild. The disposition should be studied, fend the defects eradicated by- kind, yet firm treatment. At prssent, if a foal is of a lively tem perament, it is at once put down fes vicious, fend if either of its pa rents have shown what is miscalled vice, the result of mistaken bru tality iu their education-, then the foal’s liveliness is put down as hereditary vice, and a prolonged course of harsh conduct feud beat ing is deemed necessary to effect fe cure. If, on the other hand, the young animal is or a stow and heavy nature, it is erroneously Bupposed to be the result of vicious Sullenness, and the same treatment as in the case of the lively foal is undertaken—harsh treatment and beating to bring them into so- called subjection. In each case this cruel discipline has just the opposite effect to that softght, and hence we have sadly too many kicking, biting, jibbing and bolting horses. In place tt£ having horses which entertain affection for man, we have them in constant fear of man, ever expectant of a blow, and their worst actions often leading up to accident or death, are too often the result of this fear; pos sibly some movement of the driver nqt connected with them being misconstrued into the intention to inflict a blow. In the breaking and education of all yoiing ani mals firmness should blend with kindness, but never with harshness or brutality; of- particular.

It is not said that no woman shall marry earlier of Later than- either of those ages; but youth and health A scientific paper recently fered a reward for the most cor rect answers to a certain scientific problems. Among others was the old scientific conundrum, which weighs the most, a pound of feath ers or a pound of lead? Of^course % pound is a pound, no m>l fcor of What substance, and wheT , a sim ple or thoughtless person answers that a pound of lead is the heav iest everybody laughs. Mr. Charles Pitt, in answering the question, claims that the pound of lead Would weigh the heaviest, because the feathers would be l^uyed up by a weight equal to the amount df air which they displace—just as a cork, is bouyed up in the water. In future, therefore, we must re frain from laughing at the fool’s answer, as practically it is correct. Of coarse, if weighed in a V&cti- tun, a pound of any two sub stances would weigh alike. The shipments of wheat from California to the Australian Colo- hiegihis year promise to exceed theme of all former years. creeks ahd branches bordering the town, which lies on high ground, are given the pretty names of pretty girls. Big Indian creek is on the south and southwest, while Fannie Gresham branch is on the northwest and ; ‘Katie Flanagan branch is on the east, making it almost an island town. It is a re markably healthy and pleasant town in which to live. Many northern people spend their win ters here as a sanitarium, with ex ceedingly beneficial results. The streets are wide, and abundantly shaded with elms and water oakB. It has three churches—-Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian—a male and female high school, Masonic lodge and chapter, Odd Fellow, Knights off Honor and Legion of Honor lodges, and a military com pany of which’the people are just ly proud.

Perry has an excellent public library of ten yfears standing, well sustained and patronized. Its example in this regard many of the larger towns would do well to follow. More than 5,000 bales of cotton, many bar-loads of melons, large quantities of peaches, apples, grapes, strawberries, and other fruits are shipped annually to market. ’A large trade iD general merchandise is sustained, and the merchants, even now in the dull season, are wearing a smile, show ing that their trade has not de creased. The learned professions are well represented, both in number and ability. Perry has a population of about 1200> permanent and solid, and has many ^handsome residences, adorned with beautiful flowers and shrubbery. Takeii all ft) all, a more pleasant, wetl-ordered Com munity than Perry would be diffi cult to find. Much of this is doubtless due to the able and fear less manner in which that excel lent paper, the Home Journal, is conducted by its gentlemanly edi tor, Mr. John H. Hodges.

S. in the censds bureau. He said that experience showed that for census work better men could be obtained by the spoils method than the civil service reform method. It would be interesting to know when employes of the census bu reau were selected by the civil ser vice reform method. If they have never been selected by that meth od on what does Mr. Porter base his statement that experience teaches that for census work better men can be obtained by the spoils method. The truth, is that Mr. Porter wants to handle the patrdn- age of the censns bureau; He has friends, doubtless, whom he wants to put into comfortable positions. A large number of men and wo men will be needed for the census work, and hundreds of them will have steady employment for five or six years, id fact, some of them will be needed for ten years. It is only recently that the census of 1880 was completed. There is just as much reason for applying the Civil service rules to the census bureau as to any other bureau. Mr. Porter says that there is special work to be done, and ex- jper s needed to do it. Very well-, let him appoint experts to the places <vhere experts are necessa ry. Experts are needed in only a few positions. In the great major ity of the places only men and vo- men who can do clerical work are required. It is probable-, however, that the President will be convinced by Mr. Porter’s argument, not because the argument was fe strong qge, bnt because he would like to fill all the places in the censns bureau with, republicans. If he should rise above partisan considerations and declare that merit and not politics should Control the appoint ments he would take a higher place.in the estimation of the peo ple. “His pills os thick ab hand grenades flew, And where they fell as certainly they slew,” W8B once said bf one of those ig norant doctors in the early timeaj who might well have been called the aide-de-camp of death; The sufferer from scrofula, with sores as bad as Job’s; need not now eurse the day he was born, for Dr; Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery will restore health and beauty, feppetite and strength.

The signal service Continues to issde false weather prophecies with a regularity that indicates that it has settled down to the business permanently. The American lift in the Eiffel tdwer, at Paris, wfes subjected to a final test, before handing it over for public use. The lift, which consists of two apartments, one above the other; Weighs 11,000 kilogramnids, and loaded with 3,- 000 kilogrammes of lead—that is to say, weighing 1,400 kilo grammes—was raised to a consid erable hight. There it was fast ened with ordinary ropes, and this done it was detached from the cables df steel wire with which it was worked. What was to be done was to cut the ropes and alloW the lift to fall so as to ascertain whether if the steel ca bles were to give Way, the breaks would work properly and support the lift. Two carpenters, armed with great hatchets, had ascended to the lift and were ready to cut the cables on a signal. There was a great anxiety. The signal was given, a blow cut the rope and the enormous machine began to fall. Every one was startled; but in its downward course the lift began to move slowly, it swayed fof fe mo ment from left to right, struck on the break and stopped. There was general cheering. Not a pane of glass broken or cracked. A pow erful arm seemed - to have - stopped it without a shock at a hight of ten meters above the ground. ►—O-i become so great as to threaten the well being of society. The Phila delphia News says that the solu tion may]be£fouhd in the changed conditions of life in the cities compared with those of twenty- five or thirty years ago. At that time, it says^the ambition of mar ried people was to own a home, where they blight enjoy domestic pleasures. Now, most of the mar ried people do not know what home means. They live in flats, boarding-houses; br hotels, and the surroundings tend to drive hus band and wife apart. The women, having no household duties, and committing their children to the care of others, seek amusement in society, or in promenades, or in attendance upon theatres. The men, disliking the confinement of rented apartments, spend much of their time at clubs or other places. The love for domestic life is lost, and discontent, jealousies, quarrels and divorces are the result. It is true that the cities have a virtual monopoly of the divorce business, but if this is because of the want of domestic life in its best sense, thefe seems to be very little hope that the evil will be remedied. In all probability life in flats, boarding-houses and ho tels, will become more general, rather thaw otherwise. It will not be questioned that this sort of life has a tendency to multiply divorcee, but there are other things which help to cause the increase in them. One of them is the too general practice of marrying almost solely for money. The main agency, however, is prohfebly the divorce laws. It is so easy to obtain a divorce these days that people make hasty and unwise marriages; and frequently upon the slightest provocation they fly to the coarts for a so-called relief. The Morning News has often pointed out that what is de manded is uniform and more stringent divorcb laws. Eight Years on tire Way. Mr. Senseman, of Mechanics- burg, Pa., heard something fall a few nights ago, but gave the sdttnd no heed. Next morning he found thfet the bottom of his cellar had literally dropped out; and that the gable end the hause had sunk, and wfes in danger of falling; An un derground stream had caofeed the sink. . A resident of Newark, N. J., is in possession of fe letter written by him to his wife at Dresden in 1881, which failed to reach her there owing to her sudden de parture, and which has for the last eight yeais been travelling about western Europe, iii spite of the fact that the address of the writer in this city was plainly printed on the envelope. When the postoffice authorities at Dres den failed to find the party to whom the letter was addressed, it was sent to Paris, fend frdm there to London; and from there to Liv efpool; At each of these cities it had apparently been left at the of fices of the leading bankers df oth er places at which American tour- ists are likely to stop. Finally, it was sent to the American exchange fet Liverpool, where it has, to all appearances lain for some time, and being recently resurrected, was returned to the Newark ad dress, with the envelope stamped and restamped, and otherwise marked up with the names of places at which it had been depos ited.- England idastB of 52,019 wid ews only Is Jiity-feHr years A French chemist named BeaU- metz exhibited at a recent meet ing of the Paris Academy of Med icine a new alimentary substance which he names fromentine. It is obtained from VrhCat by the aid of special millstones, qnd is really the embryo of whefet reduced to flour. It contains three times more nitrogenous substance than meat; and a large proportion of sugar. It is thdUght that it may advanta geously replace powdered meat as a concentrated food. It iiiay be employed for making soiips, fend highest perfection between these two periods. Very*early marriages are seldom desirable for girls, and that for many reasons. The brain immature, the refeson is feeble, and the character is unformed. The considerations which would prompt a girl tq marry at seven teen would in many cases have very little weight at twenty-four. At seventeen she is a child, at twenty- four a woman. Where a girl has intelligent] parents, the seven years between seventeen and twenty-four are the period' "vhen both mind and body are rhost amenable to wish discipline, and best repay the thought and toil devoted to their development. Be fore seventeen few girls have learn ed to understand what life is; what discipline is, what duty ’is. They cannot value what is best, either in the father’s wisdom or in the mother’s tenderness. When mar ried at that childish period they are like young recruits taken fresh from the fafni fend the workshop, and hurried off to a long campaign without any. preliminary drill or training; br like a schoolboy re moved from school to a curacy without being sent to th^universi- ty or to a theological hull. Who can help grieving over a child-wife, especfally if she hate Children, and a husband who is an inexperi enced, and possibly exacting boy- man. The ardor of his love soon cools. The visionary bliss of his poetical imagination vanishes like the summer mist; there is nothing left but disappointment and won der that ftliat promised to be so beautiful and long a day, should have clouded over almost before sunrise. i. j§ Here is ah item of more real bearing upon the question of Flying Machines. Attempts ' to make birds the] models upon*which man can con-j struct a flying apparatus are at- j most without ntiniber. History is I full of such attempt^ and their failures.

Where has it gone for that considerable quantity of goods? To the New England mills? Not at all. It might have done so once, and not so very long ago, but now it has no need to do so. The contracts were given to mills in Lousiaiia aiid Georgia, and the incident is very completely illus trative of the radical changes which have tdken place in one of our leading industri£4. The South has ho longer any need to divide an important part of its revenues with the cotton spinners of Massa chusetts ond Rhode .Island; It does its own work aiid keeps its money at home. This incident noted will bear a lot of thinking.- Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. ■ i i l Grandfather-Smith of Funxsu- tawney, Pa, who was gathered to his fathers several ybars ago; used to say, after the grfeafc flood df 1861; that it was all in the moon: Whenever,” he said, “the moon changes at 11 o’clock and 59 mih- utes in the day tiipe on June 1, you may look out for heavy rains and a big flood.
