EDUCATIONAL -W COLUMN. CoSUUCllSD BV 5. D. BALHWIW. General e*erocitet nt the public on Friday 1»*t. * Th« rainy, disagreeable weather of Hie past few w«ek« has Interfered with ihe school attendance quite materially. The withered leaf I* not doart and tost. There are forces In It and around It, though working In inverse order, else how could if rot? Pospisf Hot the rag from which paper is made, or the litter from which tlie earth makes cornCarb)le. From observation* made on the voy­ age of the Challenger, it appears that what is marked on the maps a; Wilkes' Termination Land, within the Ant­ arctic Circle, has really no existence. Wilkes, it is said, was deceived by the land-like appearance of distant ice- bergs. He reported seeing land, six­ ty miles distant, high and mountain- «»us. Others named the supposed lo­ cality for liiin and placed it 011 the charts. The first cost of submarine cables 1* heavy and they last, on an average, only ten or twelve years. If a sable breaks In deep water after it Is tei» years old. It cannot be lifted for re­ pairs. as It Is liable to break of Its own weight. The action of the sea water gradually destroys the outer coating of iron wire, though the core of the cable may remain perfect. The com- panies^fare therefore compelled to laytaaide a large share of their earn­ ings as a reserved fund for this decen­ nial renewing of the cables. The re­ pairs of these submarine lines are also very.oostly. A ship has to be char­ tered at an expense of live hundred dollars per day; and it generally takes aeveral!days:to find the location of the break and to mend It, which can be done only in ^favorable weather, A •Ingle break has sometimes cost a hun­ dred thousand dollars. Still this branch of telegraphy is profitable. and new lines are oontinually being laid. There are six wires connecting this oountry with Great Britain and Franee, and It IsHannouaeed that two more wll&oon be added. Administratrix Sale.

N e w F a l l STOCK, JUST RECIEVED --AT- A new theory of the so-called fasci-1 natloa of birds by snakes has been ad­ vanced by Catherine C. Hopley In Ltmd and Water. The bird, she' thinks, mistakes the snake's tongue. I whloh the ^reptile keeps In constant! •lotion while it otherwise remains perfectly still, for a lively worm, and gases at It with the expectation of making a meal of it. The ld«a was suggested by observations at the [ Zoological Gardens where the birds) were frequently eeen watching the tongues of the snakes. This certainly j takes the romance out or the operation and effectually spoils some handy little metaphors. For a Fit of Passion.--Walk out in the open air. You may speak your mind to the. winds without hurting anyone or proclaiming yourself a simpleton, For a Fit ot Idleness.--Count the ticking of a clock. Do this for one hour and you will be glad to pull oil your coat the next and work like a negro. For a Fit of Extravagance aud Folly. --Go to workhouse and speak to the in nates of a jail and you will be con­ vinced. Who makes hU bed of brier and thorn Must be content to lie forlorn. For a Fit of Ambition.--Go Into the churchyard and rend the gravestones They will tell you the and of ambition. The grave will soon be your bedcham­ ber, the earth your pillow, corruption your father, and the worm your mothcr and sister. For a Fit of Despondency,--Look on the good things which God has glren you In this world and to those which He has promised His followers In the next. He who goes into his garden to look for cobwebs and swiders no doubt will find them; while he who looks for flowers may return into the bouse with one blooming in his bo»om. For all Fits of Doubt Perplexity and Fear.--Whether they respect the body or tlie mind: whether they are a load to the shoulders, the head or the heart the following Is a radlual cure which may be relied on, for we have it from lli<> Great Physician: "Cast thy bur- tlee on tlie Lord and he will suetain thee."
