Late IHOurS--A Lady's Advice TO
Young Men.

A lady. who signs herself ga Martyr to
Late Honrs,n offers the following sensible
suggestions to young men:
Dear gentlemen between the ages Of "lS
and 49," listen tn few words OfieratuitL
Gus remarks. When you make a social
call of an evening. on young lady, 20
away at a reasonable hour. Say you come
at 8 o'clock, an hour and a half Is, certalnly
as long as the most fascinating OF you IN
conversation can, or rather ought to desire

be pleasantly spent with music. chess or
other games, to lend variety; but kind sirs,
by no means stay longer. Make slorteal Is
and come oftener. A girl-tbat Is. sensi-
bic. true.hearttd girl-will JOY it BITTER,
and really value your acquaintance more.
just conceive the agony of girl who, wellS
knowing the feeling of father and mother
upon the subject, hears the clock strike 10,
and yet must sit on the edge of her chair.
Ia mortal terror ltst papa should put Chis

inviting the gentleman to breakfast. And
we girls understand 1t all by experience,
and know what it is to dread the prOgnos-
tic of displra.ure. In snch cases 4 sigh, OF

times the 'dretnl5 are troubled with SONS

SHOWERS.
THE SHOWER NEXT WEEK


The beginning of this article spoke of
the probable occurrence next week of the
grand periodic met,oric shower OF 1866,
somewhere between u midnight of Tues
day and sunrise of Wednesday. The as
tronomers have foretold its coming, and
they generally are held as reliable proph-
cts. or course, every one will be-on the
tiptoe of expectation. No one need be
scared. Science has demonstrated the oc-
currcnce to be harmless. Experience has
demonstrated the fact also. That the spec
tacle will be one of indescribable grandeur
when it occurs will not admit of a
doubt. The memory and the records
of the grand shower of 1913 have SO
impressed its sublimity and awful beauty
OIL the recollection OF those who beheld it,
and on the minds of those who did not that
to live in the century in which its repeti-
tion is to occur, may be esteemed an exllt-
ed privilege. just imagine, for instance,
the frmampnt visibly descending at mid
night, in globes of fire over the dark and
roaring cataract of Niagara. The specta-
Gle will be visible in this latitude, it Is stat
ed, and through the United States general
ly, in its best aud grandest characteristics,
about the hours before named. ......

One of the most touching scenes ever
heard of trlnspIr, la Madison to-day, and
was related to me by all eyewitness. It
was aS follows: .I..H
A son of Waldo AbPeL of Madison, was
frightened to death. He was playing with
another boy about his own age Oh the steps
of the residence of MIR. Abecl, when gem
tleman shall say no. IA monster in human
iorm,or very thOughtess man, passing by,
pitched at the boys, and tod them that he
would catch them and shut them up unless
they ran into the house. They both ran
for their lives. Mr.. Abeel's son fell upon
the fl or in parOXvsmS. When he came to
so as to know anything, he begged of his
mother not to let the man catch him, and
he would never go on the steps again. Il
never will do it again, | never will do it
again" exclaimed the poor little sufferer,
and Immediately went into another tit.
The reaction of the system brought on a
dysentery from which he never recovered.
Nor did he ever recover from his fright9
He appeared to be conscious by spells, but
whenever he came to he would beg of his
parents not to let the man catch him, prom
ising never to 20 on the steps again. At
last he appeared to be conscious that he
must die. He would then say, 80 papa,
don't let me die, never will 20 on the steps
again. Aud thus, my informant says, the
child suffered,aud died. While the lady,

but do they think what they are doing? 1
hope that this will teach all who read 1t
lasting lesson.

At a meeting of the Democratic State
Committee, convened at Columbus yester-
day. it was decided to hold the State Con-
vention Of the OHIO Democracy, for the
purpose of nominating Governor and
other candidates, on the Sth day of January
next. While for slime reasons we would
have preferred lal er day, yet we are will-'
ing to concede that there are potent argu-l
ments in favor of an early nomiuation, ac-
computed by a more perfect and thorough,
organization OF the party. The hepromptiess
with which the Democracy rally after n de-
feat, is a source of amazement to our Radi-l
cal friends, but is not so to those who un-
derstand the determination of the party
that In Ohio last October cast teo hundred

ANALYSIS OF THE ERoLIrE.

The earliest records of an historic ac-
count Of the occurrence of grand meteoric
showers extend as far back as the Chinese
annals of 644 B. g., which nation preserved
the only authentic notings on the subject
FROM that date till 1893 A. ID. In all, during
this period, 977 years, sixteen special grand
descents OF falling stars are recorded by the
Chinese. The Greeks, quite strangely, pre-
served but meagre records of the phe-
nomenon. Their theory was to the effect
that the 8rolltes were masses of earthstOne
forced off the general surface by the rapidity
of rotation. .ta. 700 .apoa1 i.HA
| METEoRIC SHOWERS WITHOUT ERoLITEs.
| Some of the most remarkable displays of
meteoric phenomena have been accompa-
MED without the passage of 8rolite stones.
| The body of the meteor, called the bolis, is
a fiery body precipitated across the heavens,
and often explodes with loud noise, leaving
no trace of solid materials in their van or
wake. A luminous train follows them, and
| frequently leaves brilliance in the rear
| that lasts several minutes. They send forth
vivid stintillations, and present various
bright colors, so that the same meteoric
shower is often differently described from
different places. Their average heightabove
the earth has been ascertained to be 20-23
of degree, or about sixty miles. The now
accepted theory of a meteor is that they
emanate from nebulous body that reyolyes
around the sun, in an elliptical orbit the
aphelion of which meets the orbit of the
earth at the stated period of their regular
occurrence. Their nebulosity is inferred
from the fact that none of the meteors,
coming, though they do, with the pro-
digious' velocity of $50 miles in a minute,
ever reach our planet in solid, state, but
are dissipated in the atmosphere. y, .f......
This nebular theory is that of Professor
0lmAead, of Yale, and OF Arago. The lat
ter suggests thatthe meteoric bodies 6onsti-
tute stream in the form of an annular
zone, within which they pursue common
orbit; that there are several such streams
which intersect, each at its own periodit
earthsncomnn0n orbit and that through
each the myriad of small cosmical bodies
