An Idea Worth Adopting. T1he water supp~lly ab~roadl is SO often of a dloubtful charaoter that travelersi have resorted to the prudienit ex pedient of dlrinking only some wvell-knowvn min cral wvater-. 'Thiereupon a large trade has been (done in thme purchase fronm ra and bottle mnerehants' of such minerrt water bottles as still bore the labels in a fairly good condlition. It was then easy to lill them wvith or-dinarv andl possibly contaminated water, adding salt to give the taste andl appearance of the dlesired mineral spring. By this fraud the con sumer was not merely robbed but made to drink the very water lhe was dloingr his best to avoid. We are therefore pleased to niote that in France at least the Pr-efeet of Police has ad opted e getic measures to cheek this abuse. Orders have been given to visit all de pots of mineral wvaters, to seize hap hiazard a spieie and1( analyze it on the spot. TFhe tradesnmen wvill also be called upon to exhibit their invoices to prove whence their stock is dlerived. Not only are the stores of wholesale agents or dealers to be thus inspected, but the re tailors, the cafe, restaurant andl public house keepers will be subIjcted to an equally vigorous supervision, and all venders of such falsitications will be lia, ble to PrQo4nantiQ r)fd- rLa Agricultutre and National Prosperity. Never before perhaps in the history of the country has greator interest boon taken in tle grdwing brops than at the presont time. The supply of coreals in the country is small, meat of all kinds is searceo and high, and almost for the first time has there been a necessity for im porting potatoes, roots, anl garden vegetables. The eoming harvest will find ample 10oo1 iri the now cipty lin1,4j oribs, waiehousosi clevatort, and ecllars. It has been tentiarked that the world is orditarily within less than a year of starvation, and that hunger can not wait. We are nearer the realization of this startling statement than we have been for many years. Wo have more people to feed than we ever had before, and the number is constantly increaLsingv. Ordinarily some articles of food are plentiful and eheap, but at present ev erything is deai'. Even corn meal, salt pork, potatoes, and cured fish are high. Persons can not live cheaply if they de sire to. Every article that will help support life in man or the Inferior ani nmas comilands i good price., At prcs bnt every one takes an interest in the reports of condition of crops and is de sirous of obtaining the latest informa tion respectin them. I'here is anxiety on every hanT in respect to the weather and the extent of the damage by stormis and by the attactks of inseets. bealers iI othe' articles thant grain and provi. 5slons are deeply interestod. Ii the pro dtimtion of these Artics 'I'liey are eireful to gain the fullest ifirmation possible about, the )ros)CCt for CI0)s inl every section of the country bofore they sell large bills of goods oii ~uredit. The value of every day of stinshine is care fully estiflated in a thousand coiinthing. rooms. Tho damige initicted by a severe and long protracte(d storm is calculated in the same way. The worth of sun and heat is fully approciatedi A larger propirtion of the inhabitants of this country are directly engaged in agriculture than can be found in al Mit any couttry hi ti World. In the great riarkets where the coinoreo of all nations center we exchange grain, I meat, cotton, and tobacco for manufac tured articles. If we (1o not produe thon in abundance we havV; nothing with which we tart darry on foreign trade. Our tariff laws, designed to build up do mestic manufacturers to cupply local consumption, have an injurious effect on the manufacture of artieles for ex port. The prosperity of nearly all our manufactures depends. on the lWdud ion of rawkr materials thAt (!an bo work ed up. We make cotton cloth from lint produced from our own fields. Our ci cars are manufactured from laome-grown tobacco. The whisky, alcohol, glicos;c, and starch we make for home con:. sumption and export arj ptodlu'edd from corn. A shorutgo in the corn crop re sults in the decline of the amount, of ar ticles produced from it. We never im port corn, and it is diflicult to find a substitute for it in the articles we aro in the habit of manufacturing from its The prosperity of our mfanufacturcra depends nd irec tly, as *chi as directly, on the prosperity cf OUr agriculture. A Iai'ge proportion of our pcopie1 depend on the crops they raise for the meanIs to purchase manufactured goods of every kind. They must restrict their oon sumptioni to their ability to buy and make payment with the product of thuir fiolds. If crops) are smnall, only mnanufactunred articles of necessity can be purnchasedt by peCople living in the country. If they are large, they can indulge ini ar tieles that conduce to comfort or minis.. ter to luxury. People in the country adlapt themselvcs to theit' hflwomets bet-. ter than peoplhe who live in cities. Thiey are more secludled, and on that aceoJunt can get along better with poor furniture and articles of clothing. The prosperity of all Ouir great trans portation compjanies depends on our ag ricultunral prosperity. T1hme largeist prS portion of our freight cars are built for carrying grain, live stock, andl daire products. Many of our leading railroadfs were consltructedl for the transportation of far'm products. Several of them could not pay the ordinary runninr expenses if they reliedl on p~assengeu7 traflic andl the carrying of manufactured goods for support. Whein crop)s are good the trains run on, them are many and long. When crops aro poor the reverse in both particulars is true. What is true of rail road transportation is also true of steamboat and vessel transp~ortation. The latter, no0 1ess than the former, were built for the mos0t part for carrying farm pro~ducts andI farm supplies. As thme counmtry beohmles older its prosperity dlepenids 'mlore and~ more on agriculture. At one time a large portion of our people were en gaged in marketing the natural produem tions of the country. TVhey killed wild animals and sent their skins to market. T1hey cut down forests that were not p~lanlted by the hand of man. They washed surface goldl omit of gulches, an't b~ecameo rich chiefly through thle opera tions of nature. Many lived on the product of the chase. They ate t hie flesh of wild animals and birds, and sold the skins of the former. Ini many parts of the country civilized men produced the articles thovy ate and wore in the same way that, savages did. The natural products of the country su)pliedl many of the articles that in most parts oif the world are obtained only by contimnu Ouls anmd persistent toil. On this atceouint manfy supported life by hunting and fishing. At present it is niecessary to plant in ordler to reap, to breed andl 10eed cattle in ordier to have meat, to till the ground in order to have crops. Times are urosperous or the reverse according to the production of cultivat ed crops.--Chicago 'lhmes.

If the eye could gain gradually in light-gathering power, until it attalned something like the ran ge of the great gauging telescopes of the lIersch els, how utterly would what we see now seem lost in the inconceivable glories thus gradually unfolded. Even the revela tions of the telescope, save as they ap peal to the mind's eye, would be as nothing to the splendId sc00 revealed, when within the spaces which now show black between the familiar stars of our constellations, thousands of brilliant orbs would be revealed. The milky lnm!nosity of the Galaxy would be seen aglow with millions of suns, its richer portions blazing so resplendently that no eye could bear to gaZe long upon the wondrous display. But with every in crease of power more and more myr lads of stars would break Into view, until at last the scone would be unboar able in its splendor. The eye would seek for darkness as for rest. The mind would ask for a scene less oppressive in the magnificence of its Inner meaning; for even as seen, wonderful though the display would be, the glorious scene would scarce express the millionth part of its real nature, as recognized by a mind conscious that each point of light was a sun like ours, each sun the cen ter of a scheme of worlds such as that g lobe on which we "live and move and ave our being." Who shall pretend to picture a scene so glorious? If the electric light Could be applied to illumine fifty million lamps over the surface of a black domed vault, and those lamps were here gathered in ricb Clustering grons, there strewn more sparsely, after the way in which the stars are spread over the vault of heaven, somethiinz like the grandour of the scene which we have inagined would be realized-but no human hands could every produce such an exhibition of I celestia1 imagrrv. As for inams, it is obviottsly impossible by any maps which could be drawn, no matter what their scale or plan, to present anything even approaching to a correct, pictuire of the heavenly host. There ii no way even of shoWing their numerical wealth in a single pictitre. It is not till we have learuwi to look on all that the telescope reveals as in its turn nothing, comparcdl wit-hi the real universe, that we have rightly learned the lessons which the heavcinn teach, so far, at least, as it les within our feeble powet' tii HI'My the awful teaching of the stars.

Tribune. -A good adviser says: " Next to the love of her husband, nothing so crowns a woman's life with honor as the devo tion of a son to her. We never knew a boy to turn out badly who began by fall imig in love with his mother. Any man may fall in love with a fresh-faced girl, and the man who is gallant to the girl may cruelly neglect the poor and weary wife in after years. But the big boy who is a lover of his mother at middle age is a true knight, who will love his wife in the scre-leaf autumn as he did in the daisied spring. There is nothing so beautifully c iva rous as the love of a big boy for his mother. Boys, think of this." IndJurious Insects. There are few things more humiliat ing to humanity than the sense of man's hellessniess before very small insects. T igers or wolves we can exterminate easily enough, if we really set ourselves to work at it; '.ats,~ mice and weasels we can keep dlown somehow. lBut be fore the Colora~do beetle or the seven teen-year locust we are practically al most resourceless. And before the phiylloxera or the hop-fly we can hardly. do more than look oni regretfully with foled hands. Yet it is some consola tioni to rellect that what seems at first sighit a useless and purely ornamental scienace can help us to some extent in dea~lin~g with these infinitesimal pests. Thec only3 way to conquter them, if way there lbe at all, is to l earn their whole life-history; to know them in the egg, in the larva, in the pupa, in the full Iledlgedl insect; to crush them in every stage. withI whatever weapon the subtle ties of chemistry or mere ingenious bruzto force can suggest; and to donoth ing whi can in any way give them a single extra chance of life. Nothing, in fact, could better show the intimate in terationi and( reaction of knowledge and practice than this interesting study. On the one hand, no means can be devised. for gett ing ridl of injurious insects ex cept by a thorough scientific acquaint uince with their origin and metamor p~ha(ses; on the othier hand, no such care fuil obser~Vatiions oni particular life-hisa tories have ever been undertaken, prob ably, exept with1 the stimulus of some practical adlvanit-go to mankind in view. I'hus science and agriculture both gain by the conjunction Even butterfly hunting hmas its spjec.ial commercial uses, when the butterfly turns out to be the p)arent of the gooscherry caterpillar, or. to lay the eggs fronm which a warm sun will hatch out tihe destructive cabbage Many of these observations help to briti1g out the minute interaction which often obtains between different parts of the organic baliancc; no that if we want to extermiinatec a particular insect, we must sornetimes begin by encourag ing or' re pressinig some1 seemingly unt connected bird or plant. For example, but anists have long known that wet se'asonsi are particularly favorable to ebiarlock, anud that after two or three such seasons the fields, unless dili rently weeded, ar'c yellow all over with its bright blossom. But chiarlock is ap pairenitly the native food-plant of tur nip thy, from which the insect spreads easily to the cultivated turip~)-a close ly all ied artiticial form; nmuch as the Colorado beetle, origi'nully parasitic on a solainumn in the Rocky Mountains, took readily to thie richer food of the very simiilar pIotto vines, as soon as extend 4'd tillage began to apiproach its natural habuitat. Jt is only by such careful observation, wit h pra~ctical application of the results, that we can hope) to outwit our insect foes; for tihe more widely any particular crop is grown, the more generally can its nat uural eniemie~s spiread and survive. Even in England. where hill andl dale, copse and hedge break up the tilth, and where small fields of various staples are habitually nmuch intermnixedI. the insects can easily migrate from patch to patch of their special food- plant: while in Amerien, where the same crop some timies covers hundreds of square miles toget lier on t he unfenced andI unbroken plain, locusts and~ armiy wornms can niarch straight across country, day after dlay, ini regular battalions. -B - l)uring the past six months 92 peor run1s, aged1 90 and~ up~ward, (lied in Phil adlelphin Of these 17 were nmen and 76 were w' men.
