f SUNDAY READING.
V Children'!* ConfesMonn.
3 The evangelist, the Rev. Mr.Haminond,
I conducted a children's service at the Blow
I Street Methodist church, Toronto, one
Sunday afternoon recently. After prayer
he catechized the children as to the dif
ferent names given to our Savior in tlu>
Bible, and asked them if they could say
by heart the verso in the New Testament
beginning, "Suffer little children." One
little girl, about nine years old, stood
op to say it, but Mr. Hammond requested
her to go to the platform and do so.
This she did, aud on bein^ asked to
state how sho Ikvadw a Christian she
gawe her experience in a clear ami intelligent
manner, without the slightest
hesitation. Her story briefly
was this: Some of her companions
asked her to go to Sherbourne
street church to Mr. Hammond's
services, as it was great fun to see the
people crying. She did so, and she and
her companions used to run out of the
church laughing when they saw people
crying, but one day a lady came up to
them in the church and told them of
the crucifixion of Christ in such a way
that they had never heard before. The
iady prayed for them, and then they
prayed themselves and asked God to
forgive them for their sins. Since then
^lie knew that she was a child of God.
, Grayer was again offered and a hynm
aung, and Mr. Hammond toid the
children several anecdotes both amusing
and pathetic. After the formal service
vas over the Sunday-school teachers and
" others who had volunteered to assist
them conversed with the children as to
their spiritual condition, choosing certain
passages in the Scriptures to explain
it to them.

r Nature's IJaromet<,rs.
Every one has noticed the ingenious
and delicate workmanship of the spider;
Shey have noticed tbo the way in which
phe spins his thread; but every one may
not have remarked the interesting fact,
* that whenever we are to have wind or
rain tlie spider snortens very mucn tne
last threads to which his web is suspended,
aDd he leaves it in that condi-*
tion as long as the weather continues
variable. If he lengthens the threads
fair weather may be predicted, and the
continuation of fair weather may bo inferred
from the length of the thread. If
the spider remains inert it is a sign of
rain; if, however, he commences to
work during the rain, you may be certain
that the rain will not last long,
and that it will be followed by steady,
fair weather. The spider changes his
. web every twenty-four hours; if the
change is made in the evening, a little
before sunset, the night will be fair and
clear.
The swallow, this beautiful bird, the
harbinger of spring, is also an unfailing
barometer. When the swallow flies
low, on a level with the earth, antl gives
a light and plaintive cry, it is a sign of
approaching rain. If he rises to a great
height in the air flying either to the
right or to the left, steady, fair weather
\ may be expected. When a storm is
coming, the swallow also rises to a great
height in the clouds, then he .moves
slowly, majestically ; he floats, but does
not fly.
In the spring, when a single magpie
leaves its nest, it will rain ; if the father
and mother leave at the same time, it is
a sign of fair weather.
The peacock, at the approach of rain,
emits frequent cries.
The woodpecker coos.
The parrot chatters.
The guinea fowl goes to roost.
The goose shows the greatest unrest.
It flaps its wings and cries, throws itself
into the water, comes and goes, and
makes short flights.
The singing of the cricket- indicates
fair weather.
A Japanese Laborer's Cottage.
Half a mile up the valley, writes a
correspondent from Japan, I passed a
?cottage standing near the pathway. The
little garden in front was a mass of flowers,
among which there was a large
plant of the oleander in full bloom and
a perfect hedge of the big jessamine,
which scented the whole atmosphere.
Cucumbers were growing over the side
path and hedge, and a great vegetable
marrow plant had run all over one end
of the roof of the cottage. A few teashrabs
were in full bloom in the garden.
This useful species of camellia is
both pleasant to the eye and to the taste.
A pair of little bantams pecked about
the garden, and one of the tailless cats
peculiar to this country basked in the
sun, A pretty girl worked awav at her
loom under the shade of the broad veranda
; a cloth round her waist was
her sole attire,and was doubtless enough,
for the day by this time had become
very warm, although the thermometer
stood only at about seventy-eight degrees.
The elderly lady of this comfortable
little home was busy among her
pots and pans. Two or three smaller
bairns were playing with a kitten, and a
baby strapj>ed on its tiny sister's back
was enjoymg itself in profound slumber,
not wihstand ing the perpetual
motion of its nurse. I could not help

" It has been noticed that voting rool

which was surrounded by trees, and n
I having done anything to reveal his pre

I of a singular spectacle. About sixty <
I seventy ravens were ranged in a rir
round one of their fellows, evidently r
puted a culprit, and, with much clatt
I of tongues and wings, were engaged :
I discussing his alleged delinquencies.
At intervals they paused in their d
bate in order to permit the accused

i postulations were speedily drowned :
I a deafening chorus of dissent. Event'
! ally the court appears to have arrived;
the unanimous conclusion that the felc
had utterly failed to exculpate himse)
and they suddenly flew at him from a
sides and tore him to pieces with the
powerful beaks. Having executed the
sentence they speedily disappeared
leaving the mangled corpse of the ui
I fortunate bird as a warning to all evi

A most remarkable instance of a spa

Some Men's Luck.
i General Gordon was severely wound- j
ov" ed four times in one battle and
)1^" within an hour, and lived to light again; ;
and this is only a specimen of the sin?
gular good luck that attended some
m' men. In 1801 a Michigan cavalryman,
J | named Drake was out foraging in the
,cjin Shenandoah valley in company with a
. ' comrade named Cooper. Cooper was in
1 a smoke-house after meat and Drake !
|me was on guard at the door when thirteen
:.irs' Confederates sudden I v appeared. They
ir}^j ! were mounted anil advanced at a gallop,
K 1 I part of them firing as tbev rode up.
| One lmllet found a suitable opening in
L,.es | tlie stone wall of tin; smoke-liouse and
)c flew in and killed Cooper dead in his
a^e j tracks. Drake was standing beside his
au* | horse and his saddle- was hit by three
eon l bullets, one of which glanced through
!ew | his hat.
n.s j As roon as the trooper could realize
I?11 | what had happened he swung himself
,,ie j into the saddle and dashed at the circle
1C. J around him. The moment he happened
j in view he was a target for carbine and
, ~ i pistol. His horso made a rush at the
.ijt ! line, but was driven back. Followed
11 by Cooper's horse he galloped around
' ? and across a circle not over 100 feet
, 0 across, all the time under a steady lire
by the Confederates. This lire was soon
nC'T returned by Drake, who lircd away
1 seven cartridges and then drew his
,v "" i salier. His seven Miners, as aiierwaru
. ' vouched for, killed two men, wounded
j two more, and killed one horse.
an His lire l>roke the circle and
,Qan ! lie got out of it, Imt for
^ ! thirty rods, as ho made oil', ho was ex,vu!
I posed to the lire of nine or ten men.
^ Cooper's horse was killed in the circle'
! while Drake's was hit no less than nine
j times and vet not disabled. As for the.
ayc i rider, his comrades, on his return to
. . camp, counted up a record of a truly
llJ' j miraculous escape. Three bullets struck
:>rs' ! his scabbard, two his hat, four went '
through his clothing, one burned his
'jcheek, one raked his knee, and two hit ;
, . his left boot. While one single bullet
v1!' killed the one trooper, the other had
sixteen tired point blank at him and yet
5 . did not lose a drop of blood. Cooper's
.horse was killed l?y one bullet, while
?7 nine failed to disable the larger and j
J."~ more exposed animal. ? JHroil Fra

POPULAR SCIENCE.
M. Shvedoff endeavors to maintain in j
the Journal of tlie Russian Physical and ,
Chemical society that hail is of cosmio t
origin and is a variety of meteorites. 1
A German chemist has established the ,
valuable fact that wood impregnated i
with parafine oil is preserved for many <
years from rot, even under circum- 1
stances most favorable to decay.
A correspondent of Nature gives the
ionowing niuunu ezperuueuts wim pularizcd
light: Break off a plate of ice !
and hold it between the sky and a pool
of water. Its reflected image will show '
the beautiful colors due to polarized
light. The incident rajs should come
from a part of the sky about ninety degrees
from the sun, and reflection
should take place at the polarizing
angle for water, and the plate will probably
require adjusting to bring out the
maximum effect.
Statistics show that since 1854 there
has been an increase of risk from liglit_ ?

and Switzerland, while there is no
corresponding increase in the number
of thunder-storms. Herr Holtz, who
has been investigating this matter, inclines
to the belief that the causes for
the greater liability of danger from
lightning are to be sought in the changes
produced of late by man on the surface
of the earth ; such as the clearing of
forests, the increase of railroads, and
the groat use made of iron in the construction
of houses.
A report by Dr. H. Trimen, of Ceylon,
on indin rubber, states that the plant
which produces the Ceara rubber is
very hardy, and will grow in a dry,
rough soil and in a moderate dry, hot
atmosphere, while the Para and West
India rubber plant require a rich alluvial
soil and a constantly hot, moist
a mosphere. The tree grows to a heighs
of about thirty feet, and has a dense
rounded crown. In two years it attains
a diameter of four or five inches, when
it may be tapped. The cultivation of
this tree will reduce the .price of rubber
to a reasonable rate.
M. Chappuis thinks that the blue of
the sky may be due to ozone present in
the upper regions of the sky. He argues
that the electrical discharges constantly
taking place will produce ozone; and

absorption-spectrum of ozone and finds
nine dark bands in it, three at least of
which correspond with known bands in
the telluric spectrum.
The Flying-Fish.
A letter in the New Orleans Times
says: An extract from Nature throws
doubt on the pursuit of flying-fish by
the so-called dolphin, the coryphene.
As I waa once a witness of such a chase,
accompanied by a circumstance much
rarer, I append an account. One afternoon,
during a voyage on a sailing vessel
bound to a "West Indian port, while
the ship was making some four or five
miles an hour, a coryphene was observed
gamboling under the bows, going
ahead a little, as if to show its superior
speed, and then returning to its frolics.
While the sailors were fastening the
harpoon to a line, the coryphene sighted
a flying-fish. At once it stiffened itself;
its whole body quivered as if with excitement
; its tail was agitated from one
side to another, and it started in pursuit,
bounding over the surface of the sea
with leaps of some fifteen or twenty
feet. Although a stern chase is held to
be a very long one, this lasted less than
a rcinuie ; oac of the leaps brought the
coryphene right under the terrified Hying-fish,
which seemed to fall into its
enemy's jaws. The latter returned to
its "play-ground" under the bows, and
was harpooned, brought on board, and
cut up within two minutes after its
meal. The flying fish was taken ^out i
whole, uninjured. The coryphene is j
the beautifully colored fish noted for the I
shifting and varieties of its tints when i
expiring. It is commonly but erroneously
called a dolphin, as in the well-known
verse, " The dying dolphin'3 changing
hues." Now, in regard to the flyingfish,
I have watched them on many voyages
and I can confirm the observers :
who describe its motion as a leap, not I
an act of flying. It springs out of the j
water, gradually rising to the middle of
its course, then falling, describing a j
parabola just as an arrow does in its
flight. I have repeatedly seen them
change direction during the leap, making
a deflection amounting to about a
half angle, never more. But I cannot j
agree with Mr. Whitman, who estimates I
the length of their leap to be as much |
as 800 or even 1,200 feet. I opine that I
about 200 feet is a pretty big jump for !
nne of these fishes, and. instead of fortv i
seconds, I calculate the time occupied !
in a long leap at fifteen seconds, which j
gives a velocity of nine miles and a fraction
per hour.
Fiinotions of the Newspaper.
1. The newspaper is, first of all, a '
business enterprise. Publishers make j
newspapers to sell, just as hatters make J
hats or shoemakers make shoes. The j
newspaper is merchandise made to suit
the market. Those buy it who wish it,
and the buyers take their choice of the
wares offered. Without this commercial
value the publication could not be sustained,
and it would be as- unwise as
unjust not to take this fact into account.
Newspaper makers, like other manufacturers,
must consult popular tastes
and market demand.
2. But the newspaper is also a public
agent. It offers to the public, for pay,
certain services, such as the advertisement
of commodities, the announcement
of public meetings, courts, | J
elections and sales. On this work, as , :
an advertising medium and public j
herald, it depends for much of its sup- J
port.
These are the private and personal j
aspects of the newspaper, and so far as 1 J
these are concerned it is the private ! ]
property and business affair of its pub- ! J
lislier. But to count the newspaper as j ;
merely a business enterprise, and to
reckon with it only as such, would insult
the public intelligence as much as j
it would trifle with the public interests j
