" What Kind of Elastic.
From the Danbury News.l


A dry goods man, who is well known
for his politeness, has father who is
an excellent citizen, but not a very
smooth talker. They were so busy at
the store Saturday afternoon that the
old gentleman was called in to help.
Among the customers was a young lady
who appeared to be waiting to trade
with him whose elderly. appearance in
vited her confidence Soon an oppor-
tunity offered, and leaning over the
counter as an invitation for him to do
the same, she whispered her order.
He bent close to her, and said, g What's

whispered. 80 elastic, said he in
tone that eeuld be heard on the walk,
and looking much pleased with his sue

Hot Talk from California.

The Sacramento UnionE nEhas been serv-
ing up some delightful thermometrical
"reminiscences of the old mining days of
the golden state. In 1853 the mercury
in the shade marked 115 degrees at
Coloma for many days. In 1854 it rose
in Diamond springs several times to ia
and 115. In 1859, one day, it rose to
1T at San Andreas the same day to
121 at Knights ferry, and to 133, in the
shade, at several places in Santa Bar
bara and San BernardiBo. The last
feat of the mercury pushed things a
little too far. Birds fell dead from the
trees, and cattle in the fields. But
from 1850 to 1857 it was not regarded
as exceptional at the towns of Jackson,
P1aceFviile, ColOma, Sonora, Moke1umne
hill and other mining places, when the
mercuryrose in the shade to 10 degrees.
Since then the introduction and distri-
button of water through canals, and
the cultivation of shade trees and
shrubbery among the originally naked
volcanic hills, has tempered the sum-
mer heat, and it is as great a pheno-
menon now to read in those mountain
towns 100 degrees. as it was ia degrees
in the early days of mining. TThe'
Union says "The most remarkable
thing about the extreme heat that used
to prevail is that it never caused sun
stroke, and seldom, even at ia in the
shade, prevented men in working out in
the sun in deep canyons, among glisten-
ing waters and shining powders, where
the mercury would have ascended to
140 degrees and probably higher"
NATURE NEEDS BoRDER.-Nature,

The Relative Size of Stars.

1t is a very commonly-received idea
that the stars are really about of q size
and brightness, differing no more from
each other than so many men would
differ or so many cattle or trees of one
species. This is taught in most of our
school. and college textbooks, and with
it the corollary that the apparent differ
ences in the brightness of the stars are
almost wholly due to differences of dis
tance. Upon these notions also. are
founded many of the speeuIations as to
the constitution of the stellar universe,
which seem to form a favorite amuse-
ment of those whose deficiency in exact
scientific training leaves them only such
topic for discussion as are confessedly
at present beyond the reach of accurate
investigation. But the fundamental
idea is utterly baseless. The stars are
no more alike in magnitude than rocks.
The minutest gain of impalpable dust
and the hugest mountain mass proba-
bly, differ no more in size than large and
small stars, and a similar facts holds
good as to their brightness. As BesseI
expressed it "the black stars are proba-
bly, Just as numerous as the white ones. 1"
Every new investigation puts these
truths in clearer light, and the discovery
of the minute companions of Procyon
and Sirius alluded to in the preceding
paragraph is one of their most striking
confrmatious for in those cases we
have a star, evidently large and bright,
associated with another hundreds of
times less brilliant, and yet demonstra-
bly, Grom the motions of the pair of
about the same weight as the apparently
larger one.-The Independent.

The sages Reproof.

Alhakem, the sage, whom all the
people honored for his great wisdom
and his many virtues, sat in the mar
ket place giving instruction. A youth
named Scyd, who had recently inheri-
ted vast wealth, passed that way, and
shared with the old teacher, the atten-
ton of the multitude.
"See," cried Scyd, chow my good
fortune hath lifted me in q day to claim
a public attention which Alhakem hath
been long years in gaining"
And he smiled proudly as he spoke.
Alhakem had heard bis words, and
motioned for him TO draw near.
"My son" said the sage, "let me
speak unto the fable. Once upon a
time a gourd wound itself around
lofty palm, and in few weeks climed
to it's very top.
"HoY old mayest thou be?" asked
the gourd.

MErHoD.-The absence Of method,
which charaeterizes the uneducated, is
occasioned by an habitual submission Of
the understanding to mere events and
images. as such, and independent Of any
power in the mind TO classify or appro-
pirate them. The general accompani.
ments of time and place are the only re-
lations which persons Of this class APP
pear 10 regard in their statements. As
this constitutes their leading feature,
the contrary excellence, as distinguish
ing the well-educated man, must be re-
ferred TO the contrary habit. Method,
therefore, becomes natural to the mind
which has been accustomed TO contem-
plate, not things, only, or for their
sake, alone. but, chiefly, the relations
of things; either their relations 70 each
other, or to the state and apprehension
of the hearers. To enumerate and an
alyze these relations, with the con-
ditions under which. alone, they are
disooverable, is TO teach the science Of
method. - COLersd0C
