"" ' Impurities In Ice. Tho populnr dolusion that water in tho process of freezing somehow elimi nates any impurity it may contain, or that the vitality ofanimal or vegetable germs is destroyed by tho cold, is now very gonorally exploded. An American naturalist lias been mi croscopically examining fragments of ice taken from various cumls and ponds. Ho took only such specimens as ap peared clean and wore quite transparent to tho eye. On melting them and sub jecting thorn to mngn ftna powers, varying up to nine hundred diameters, ho sa,B that vogotablo tissue and con forvoid growth were in most eases ob servable at once. Ho found no in stance in which animalcula) wore pres ent in an active state after feeding, but after being allowed to stand for a whilo in a moderate temperature, tho water presented monads whoso movements woro oiisily distinguished with a mngni- iyhig power of from two hundred to four hundred diameters. Alter a wiiilo conforvie woro observed growing and taking form similar to the nests occu pied by tho young of the Paramecium, common in stagnant wator. Tlio rusult of tho observations is to prove bojond question Unit iroozing does not in any way eliminate impurity or prevent tho suusoquoul development ol auniial or vogotablo gorins. Tins is merely a confirmation of what has alroady been asserted and proved before, but tho matter is of such impor tance that it is not likely to bo urged with unnocessarv frequency. Many porsons who will look askaneo at a glass of untiltorod water will not hosilalo to cool thoir drink by dropping a knob of ice into it. That from ponds and canals is, of courso, ostensibly gathered for non-dietetic purposes; but it is to bo foared that in hot weather ico is ioo, nnd that much risk of mischief is oftnn .incurred. London Globe. "I'm going to marry him, and if you aro going to order him oil", why wo want to get married before. That i.s all."

A most novel and interesting method of bird-catching is practiced during the spring and early summer, while tho ducks and gcesu are molt ng and una ble to lly. Tho Ksquimaux puts his kia -k that is, his eoal-skin oanoo on his head, like an iiumen-o hat, and re pairs to tlio big Ia'e. or tho sea-s tie, where he has seen the helpless birds swimming and feeding in the waor. Here lie launches his frail bark, and, when so ited, which is not a'ways ac complished without a ducking, takes his double bladed oar in his hands, and at oncu starts in pursuit of the game. Hoforo him, on his knack: where he can seize it at tho proper moment, lies Ins duck-spoar, together with other imple ments of the chase. Cautiously ap proaching tho feathcrless flock, ho sometimes gets qu to near before his piO'Ciico is observed, but oon then, before fie is within striking distance, there is a great spluttering in the wa ter, as tho band scatters in everv direc tion, vainly beating the wator with the curious-looking stumps that soon will wear their plumage and onco more do duty as wings. Some dive below tho surface and conic up a great way oil", and always just where you uro not looking for them; but as tho flock take? alarm, the hunter dashes forward, feel ing tho neces.Jity for speed rather than for caution. lie is soon with u fifteen or twenty feet of tho struggling mass, and, seizing a curious-looking spear, with throe barbs of unequal length, ho poises it for a moment in tlio air, nnd then hurls it witli unerring aim at tlio devoted bird, impaling it with a sharp ened iron or bono spike in the center of tiio barbs. Tho handle of the spear is of wood, nnd lloats on tlio surface of the water, so that tho hunter can re cover his weapon ami tho game at his leisure. In somo sections of tho Arctic, tho game thus captured lortus u great sta ple of food; tor winter use tlio birds aro Hacked in bales of about throe feet in length and two feet squaro on tho ends, looking very much like small bales of cotton that have been tarred and feath ered, for it must bo remembered that tho insido and outside of tho birds re main intact when packed away. It is no objection to an Esquimaux palate that they docay boforo winter freezes the bale as solid as a rock. W. II. Gil der, in Scribncrt Monthly. Nutation of Crop. Why docs a farmor change tho crops of each field every year, growing first clover and grass and then corn, then oat-, nnd lastly, whoator rye, and again seeding down I) clover and grass? It is bocauso ho knows that these crops succeed better when thus grown and that ho cannot grow the same crop every your on tlio same ground, witli protit. There is a good reason for this, it is becait'O tho nature of each of thoso different crnp3 is not the same; that omt seems to rest the soil, that clover actually leaves the soil hotter than it was before, besides tulduig to it in the shape of roots, stems anil leaves, a largo quantity of valuable plant food for the corn which follows it; that the culture of the corn kills a vast quantity of woods and cleans the ground, and pro pares it for tho oats and wheat; that alter the oats havo boi-n grown the soil has given up to that crop all the strength it possessed, and that it then roquiio4 help to rcstoro it. This is given by the manure and fertilizers used to prepare for tin1 wheat or rye and tho clovor ami gras after it, and that by tins treatment one can go on year after j ear, for a whole life-time, growing crops and then leave his farm still fertile and useful for Ids children, who may do tlio same, to bo followed again by their children. This method of culture is called tho rotat on of crops, and tho uual rota tion consists of tho four crops men tioned, viz.: clover and grass, corn, oats and wheat. This is called the four courso s.stoui. Some farmers add oth er crops, and so lengthen the courso with great beuolit to the soil; because in the four courso system there is too much grain and too little fodder for feeding cattle and making immure, without which good crops cannot ho grown. There aro also not enough of tho renovating croi s, as those are called, in which cither the soil i.s ma nured or rested, and restore I. or in fact renewed in strength and power to pro duce the other crops which tako more from tho soil, and are therefore called oxhaiistive. For tho principle at the bottom of this s stein of rotation is chiefly this: that the farmer iniist fol low an exhaustive crop with a renovat ing one; tint is, one that is hard or difficult to grow with one that is easy, and so give the soil an opportunity to recover before its strength is taxed too much. Much injury has been done to many farms by an unwise neglect of th s pre caution, anil crops of wheat and corn luvo been grown year after year, until the soil has been mado unable to pro duce enough to pay the farmer for his labor, or to support him and his family with comfort. It is in this way that farms have been worn out, and people havo been forced to go further west to get new land, that the same wasteful practice mav be followed. Now, thntthe West is becoming tilled up, and tho havo puzzled thoni. Ono girl's com plete answer to this question is, Wlion you havo a illness it m ikos your health bad. as well as having a disease' An other says, 'Occupations which aro in jurious to health are carbolic acid gas which is impure blood.' Another com nloto answer is. ' Wo ought to go in tho country for a fow weeks to tako plenty of fiosii air to make us healthy aim strong every year.' Another complete answer is, Why the heart, lungs, blood, which is very dangerous.' Tho word 'function' was also'a great puzzle. Very many answered that tho skin dis charges u 'function called perspiration. Ono rrirl wars. 'Tho function of tho heart is between tho lungs.' Another says: 'Wli-it, is tho function of tho j heart? Thorax.' Another girl, in an- swor to tho sixth question, s;y'a, 'ihe process of digestion is: Wo should never eat fat, because tho food does not di gest.' " Another class of errors is that of exaggerated statoments, ono girl an swering, 'A stono-mason's work isin jurious, bocauso when he is chipping ho breathes in all tho little chips, and then thoy aro takon into tho lungs.' Another says, 'A bootmaker's trado is very injurio'us. bocauso tho bootmakers always press tho boots against the tho- i'!iy. null tiinrnfnm it. iirnssna tlm thorax in and it touches the heart, and if thoy J do not dio they aro cripples for lifo.' Several "iris insist thatovery carpenter or mason should wear a pad over tho j mouth: and ono crirl savs that, it a sawyer does not wear spectacles, ho will bo sure to loso his eyesight, until, ly. one girl declares that 'all mechan ical wor.: is injurious to health. An other child sajsthat 'in impnro air there is not any oxygen, it is all car bonic acid gas? Another says that if wo do not wash ourselves 'in one or two days nil tlio perspiration will turn into sores.' "Ono girl states that 'when food is swallowed it passes through tho wind pipe and stops at tho right side, somo of it goes to make blood, and what is not wanted passes into the alimentary canal.' Another girl from tho same school says, ' Venous blood is of a dark black color, and when it reaches tho heart it is mado by tho heart a bright red color.' Several girls from tho same school repeat this last error. Another girl says, 'The ohylo Hows up the niid dlo of tho backbone and reaches tho heart, where it meets tho oxygon nnd is purified.' Another says, '1 ho work of the heart is to repair tho different or gans in about ha f a minute.' Another says: 'Wo have an upper and a lower skin; the lower skin moves at its will, and the upper skin moves when wo do.' " I'opular Science Monthly. A Importer's Work.

Young Lady "Then I'll tell you" (this with a look of determination) Capturing Birds by Fascination. In tho interior of tlio Province Val divia, South Chili, a species of wood snipe (I'ainuycn inc.) is often caught by tho natives in tlio follow. ng manner: When the bird flies into ono of tho low bushes, which in spots of about three to six meters in diameter aro found fre quently in the wood-moudows thoro, two nion on horseback go round it in tho same direction, swinging thoir la.os over the bush. After ten or more rounds ono man slips down from his horse, whilo the oilier continues, lead ing his companion's horse behind. Carefully then tho first man creeps on to tho point where the pnipay on is sit ting, nearly motionless or stupoliod with tho rider's circular movenionts, and kills it by a quick blow of a stick. Whon 1 first was told so I would not boliovo it; but in 1853 or 1851 I took part myself in this kind of capture in tlio liaciondti San Juan, in Valdivia, belonging to my chief, Dr. Phitippi, now Professor in tho University and Director of the Museum in Santiago. I had loft tho house without gun, accom panied by a native servant, whon, in a part of tho wood called Quomas. I ob served a paipayen falling into a donso but low bush of tho abovo-mentioned kind. Desiring to obtain a good spooi muii of this not vory common bird for our collection I expressed my regret at not having tho gun, but tlio servant ro piled: "Never mind, if you wish, wo will got this bird." And ho caught it with my assistance in tlio above way without injuring it. A uturc. longer be done, and larmers are obliged to follow a more skillful practice, and are forced to study more carefully the nature of thoir business, that they may make their farms more productive Tho feeding of cattle and sheep is tho most important part, of tho farm work and tho growing of feeding crops thoro foro needs to be made a special study by the young farmer. A rotation then which can bo mado to includo tho largest number of feeding crops is tho best. A seven course rotation is sometimes prac ticed in which clover and grass aro grown ono year for hay and a second jcar for pasture, followed by corn, oats, roots (cither turnips or mangels) bar ley, clover for hay, and wheat on tho clovor sod. followed by grass. This ro tation has many advantages. It has two cultivated or cleaning crop3, corn and roots; two sods plowed under, and four feeding crops, viz., corn, roots and two hay crops. Whero it can bo fol lowed it enables tho farmer to keop a flock of shoop or to keop cows and a dairy which is ono of the most protita blo and pleasant parts of farming, and givos tho girls an agreeablo opportunity of adding to tho income of tho farm and to their own resources by making but ter, as well as finds employment for tho boys which is not so laborious as tho constant raising of grain. When tho rotation is chosen, tho farm is divided into fields to suit tlio courso, livofortho four courso, in which thoro aro two in grass at tho samo timo; nnd eight for tho seven courso rotation.

Tho London Globe givos a ludicrous illustration of tlio results of physiologi cal teaching in tho girls' schools of tho English metropolis. It seems that tho National Health Soeioty, laudably do sirous of promoting tlio ineron.se of prac tical physiological intelligence, ollored prizes to be competed for by tho pupils of tho girls' schools under tho control of tho London School Board. Tho re sponse, howovor, was not vory livoly. Out of two hundred and thirty-four schools only olovon sent competitors, it boing presumed that in tho other schools physiology is either not taught at all, or so poorly taught that tlioro was no emulation. Tho olovon schools which woro represented in tho examination, wo aro to suppose, woro tho host girls' school under tho jurisdiction of tho HoM'd. Two hundred and fifteen girls attended and competed for tlio prizes, tho examination boing conducted by Mr. MoWilliam, who reported tho ro- sult to tho London School Board.
