In order that we may distinctly un
derstand the cause and nature of the
trade-winds, it Is necessary t boar in
mind that the earth in the center of
its circumference, at an equal dis
tance from the polos, In dlvidod by a
lino called the equator into two hemi
spheres the northern and the south
ern. Across the equator, cutting It
obliquely, there passes another great
circle culled the ecliptic, which do
scribes the path the sun traverses.
It extends 2:1 degrees north and 23
degrees south of the equator, which
is the utmost limit the sun traverses;
for, when arrived at either of these
boundaries, he again seems to return
towards the equator. It must be very
evident that the region of the earth
included within a circle drawn 28
degrees north and 23 south of the
equator which will comprehend thfc
g tea test portion of Africa, a consldet
able part of Asia and America, and
many large, fertile and populous isl
ands in the East and West Indies
will receive constantly the solar rays
in a direction so little oblique as to
causa the most intolerable heat It
is, therefore, called the torrid zone;
and the limits at which the sun stops,
and appears to retrace his course,
have received the name of tropics, or
circles of return. This being pre
mised, and it being also remembered
that the earth revolves daily, "her
silent course advancing," round the
sun from west to east, the cause of
the trade-winds will be readily under
stood. The rays of the sun. In its apparent
motion from east to west, rarify the
air beneath, and the air so rarified
rises into the higher regions of the at
mosphere. While this takes place,
the colder air from the adjoining tem
perate zones rushes in to supply its
place. But it is from the polar regions
north and south that these colder cur
rents originally come; and did the
earth remain at rest, such would be
their obvious direction. Instead of
this, however, north of the equator the
direction of the trade-winds is from
the northeast; south of the equator,
from the southeast; the cause of which
is thus explained:
The velocity with which the earth
revolves is inconsiderable at the poles,
but increases as we advance, and is at
its maximum at the equator; the winds.
In sweeping from the poles, do not ac
quire a corresponding Telocity with
the motion of the earth as they ad
vance towards the equator; therefore,
moving more slowly than the earth,
they are left behind; so that, to the
observer who Imagines himself at rest,
the air appears to move in a direction
contrary to the rotation of the earth,
riz., from east to west.
The external limits of the trade
winds are thirty degrees no:th and
thirty degrees south of the equator;
but earh limit diminishes as the sun
advances to the opposite tropic. The
larger the expanse of ocean over which
they sweep, the more steadily do they
blow; accordingly, they are more
steady in the Pacific than in the Atlan
tic, and in the South than in the North
Atlantic Ocean. Within the region
of the constant trade-winds rain seldom
occurs, but it fall abundantly in the
adjoining latitudes. Tho reus-on is,
that rain, is produced by the sudden
mixture of air of different tempera
tures charged with moisture; but the
constant circulation and intermixture
of the air from the upper strata of
the atmosphere maintains so equal ft
temperature in these latitutes as not
to occasion the condensation of vapor
which is necessary for the production
of rain.
Within the limits of the trade-winds,
contrary to what might have been
supposed from tha latitude, the atmo
sphere is peculiarly cool and refresh
ing. The climate of the Eandwich
Islands is far more cool than might be
supposed, judging from their latitude.
To the trade-winds must this alone be
attributed; and thus has Nature ren
dered a region, which would otherwise
have been parched, arid and uninhab
itable, exuberant inteautyand mug
cificence. N. Y. Ledger.
A peculiar fact about American
literary women is that many of them
are domestio in their tastes and have
great ability as housekeepers. Lucy
Stone is a noted home-maker. Mrs.
Elizabeth Cady-Stanton's domestio
propensities ate well known. Mrs.
Annie Jenuess Miller, the lecturer and
advocate of dress reform, has a hus
band who worships her. Mrs. Liver
more, the lecturer, is another good
housekeeper, and in addition to her
public and private duties takes care of
an invalid daughter.

"You'll need especial care of super
natural powers if you stay in this
city, the clerk replied.
'Yas, I reckon so, an' wife she
'lowed so, too."
"You must look out lor sharpers."
"Yas, that's what I'mgoin' to do the
Tery fust thing."
When Beasley had gone out the
clerk, speaking to an acquaintance,
said:
"We can have some fun with that
old fellow."
"How?"
"You noticed his big silver watch,
didn't yon? Well, suppose you follow
him aroiid to-night, and if he hap
pens to get out of the crowd, go up to
him and ask the time. Then, when he
takes out his watch snatch it away
from him and bring it here.
"That would be a good idea, but I'd
rather you'd do it."
"The-'e is no danger," said the
olerk. "Why, before he could recover
from bis surprise we would have his
watch 'n the drawer here. You stand
watch for me after awhile and I will
work the old fellow. I would like to
have a photograph of the expression
that will come over his face when he
realizes the los of his watch. Such a
picture could be sold for a large
amount of money.
The hour was growing late. Old
Keasley stood on a street corner. There
were no saloons in the neighborhood,
and consequently there were no potice
nien. A man wearing a slouch hat ap
proached Bcasley and said:
"Mister, will you please tell me
what time it is?"
"Oh, yas do that Time Is a mighty
cheap articklo with me."
Beasley took out his watch with one
hand, but with tho other hand he took
out a pistol. "Hold on, now, don't git

If ye do I'll shoot you sho. Now, let

you?"
"Yes, sir."
"Bout ez good timez you ever seed,
I reckon."
"Yes, sir."
"Like to own this watch, wouldn't
you?"
"Sir?"
Beasley repeated the question. "Yes,
sir," said the mun.
"Well, you sbail have it. You shall
trade yourn fur it."
The man stepped back. "Hold on,
now (Beasley held up the pistol).
Don't try ter git away, fur if you do
I'll hurt you, sho. Take oil your
watch. (The man obeyed.) Now,
here, take mine."
When Beasley went into the office
of the hotel he found a clerk with a
solemn face. "Wall. I'm gittln' along
putty well," said tho man from Ten
nessee. "Cleverest folks up here lever
seed in my life. I thought the folks
down in Nashville was good, but these
people lay over any I over seed. W'y,
I tell yo whntoneof 'em done. Found
out somehow that I had a ole bull-eye

give me a gold one fur it. Best folks
I ever seed."
The clerk did not reply. Ills coun
tenance was sad, and his nervousness
bespoke great anxiety.

a gold watch and putting it on the
counter. "Gimme my sun regulator.

THE HAPPY OPTIMIST. ',
A Man to Whom Every Clonil I Sphere
in Pn rent Hilver.
The optimist Is the jewel of society.
He is not born; he is made. The op
timist is the pure metal that glistens
at the bottom of the world's crucible
after it has been freed from all dele
terious matter by the fire of adversity.
He is, as it were, a sheaf of experi
ence clarified and tinctured till nothing
but the pure, fragrant attar remains.
It is not impossible that be may have
been, in his younger days, so ill-contained
as to rant himself hoarse as a
mosquito. The father of American op
timists, whose soul, In his latter yeurs.
was as calm and translucent as one of
our mountain-girt lakes, was irascible
In his youth. j
When one has been beneath the trip
hammer of real affliction, has felt the
hand of calamity clutching tt his
heart, the little every-day an
noyances seem to him like the
tickling of a straw wielded
by a liliputian, and the cries of pain
and disappointment that winnow the
air, as the tinkling babble of toy lives.
Who shall say that the optimist has
not caught a glimpss of the infinite?
Is it not very like, for is he not ever
tip-toeing on the skirt of the limitless?
The faith of the optimist is as bound
less as space itself, even though you
grant it the much-haggled-over fourth.
dimension, and by this faith he be
comes almost a prophet, for theknowU
edge of what ought to be, and the faith
that it will be brought to pass. A
Delphic oracle, or a seer of Ercildoun
is not more intuitive than your perfect
optimist He can catch the outlines of
the ideal flower even while Nature vig
orously wields the pruning knife of ad
versity, cutting back the young plant
and fitting it for a better growth.
To the optimist every cloud not
only has a silver lining, but is sphered
in silver, with every drop of rain a
pearl. The mission of the optimist is
to find good in every thing, and nobly
he fulfills it He is an oasis hid in th
great social desert a fountain of peaca
and content, undisturbed by the
typhoon of restlessness and dissatis
faction that swerls ceaselessly about
him. His presence is a3 soothing as
the How hum of an aeollan siring fin
gered by the zephyr, and as healthful
as the wind which Egypt's natives
call tho "doctor," is to the burring
cheek and parched lip of the fever
etrlcken African tradesman.
Where gets the optimist this peace
which pussoth all understanding? It
comes from his conviction that around
the waist of nature, cestus-like, is
bound tho siiviug and inexorable law.
