Tin- Uiioa's Ulsslon. Some partisans of final causes have Imagimsl that the moon was given to the earth to afford it light during tive night, but in this case nature would not have attained the end pnnn>*ed. since we are often deprived at tl'c same tune of the light of both sun and moon. To have aecompiisbeil this cud tt would have been sntiliient to have placed the moon at first lu opposition to the sun.and in the plane of the elliptic at A ilistanie from t!:e earth ispial to the one luui itvdih part of toe distance of the earth from the sun and to have InipreaMst on rite esulb anil moon parallel velocities pro|«irtlomtl to their dfatanees from tin- sun. In this casi- the moon, being constantly lu opposition to th* snn. would have <!•*- ta-ritasl nnitnl it an ellipse aiiniiar to that of the earth. Ttecse two botlie* would then constantly sn-veed each other, ami. as at this dhrtaucc tl:e moon could not Is- eclipsed, its light would always replace that of the sun.—lxiplaro. _ The Drprnvril Camel. “Any ordinary horse on the street might well feel insulted at beiug named in the same class as a domestic animal with that four legged Impassive vehicle, the camel.” writes n traveler. “Fidelity in a camel does not exist. An artist might as well depict a devoted croisslile fondling a lost child as a faithful dromedary standing over the corpse of its fallen master. Lockwood Kipling touched the core of the matter when he a vowel that a man might as reasonably lavish his affection on a baggage wagon. In short, tlie camel is an unredeemed laior. more brutiali than a mule, less sensible of endearment than even of extremes of temperature anil weather. Its virtues are of the body, its great etaluranee compensating for a mental and moral depravity that must lie labeieil nothing short of amazing.” Tvoat That Are Xot Trout. Dr. Theodore Gill of the Smithsonian Institution in calling attention to the misnaming of our native fish by early settlers instaieed among others the trout. The pilgrims, finding in New England streams a fish that reminded them of the trout of England, gave It the same name, although ixaak Wai- J tou would have told them that it was not a trout, but a char. lu Maine landlocked salmon aliJ in certain lakes an- > other salmonid fish were also called trout, lu the south the name trout was given to black bass. In California a peculiar fish was nanus! trout, apparently for no other reason tl:au its |k>ssession of spots. The Gila river trout is not a trout at all. < ntoplritori. It wHf surprise mnuy to know that Washiu/ion Irving wes a t rifesaeil' orchard thief. On<*. while picking up ; an apple In bis own orchard, he was i accosted by un urchin of the neighborhood. who. not iv.-oguizing biui as th* proprietor, offered to show him a tree where be could get s one better allies than those. “But.” said the boy. "we must not let the old man see us.” "I went with him.” said Irving, "and we stole abaut a dozen or two of my 1 own apples and then went shares.” Thank Von. "Thanks” is a miserable expression ' commonly used by persons who have ■ not hud the advantages of good brood-! Ing. Every favor received and civility , shown deserves to Lc recognised, and ; the smallest m-kiJowledgmei.t the re j ciplent can make is to say or write, j "Thank yon.” Ths vulgarity nf "Thanks" is on n par with the postal card eorreapondencc.
