THE COMET.
BY GEORGE LUNT.


YoN car of fire. though yelled by day,
Along that field of cleaning blue,
When twilight folded earth in gray,
A worldwide wonder flew.
Duly in turn each orb of light
From out the darkening concave broke;
Ewes glowing herald swan in light,
And every star awoke
The Lyre re-strung it's burning chords,
Streamed from the Cross its earliest ray
Then rose Affair, more sweet than words
On music's soul could say.
They, from old time in course the same,
Familiar set, familiar rise;
But what though art, wild, lovely flame,
Across the startled skies?
Mysterious yet, as when it burst
Through the vast void of nature hurled,
And shook their shrinking hearts, at first,
The fathers of the world.
No curious sage the scroll unseals-
Vain quest to bafled science given
Its orbit ages, while it wheels,
The miracle Of heaven.
In natures plan, thy sphere unknown,
Save that no sphere His order mars,
Whose law could guide thy path alone
In realms beyond the stars.
Gods ministerl We know no more
@zsOf thee, thy frame, thy mission still,
Than he who watched the flight of yore
On the ChaldGan hill.
Yet thus, transcendant from thy blaze
Beams light to pierce this mortal cod;
Scarcely fool on thee could gaze,
And say-There is no God!
--B0StOn AdUertiSer.

Hindo0 Worship Of Tools.

AT the festival of Sauri, wife of Sceva,
and of the three principal Hindoo deities,
which is celebrated for several days in
September, and is one of the most sol
emn of the Hindoo festivals, every arti-
san, every laborer and handicraftsman
offer sacrifices and supplications to the
tools and implements which they use In
the exercise of their various professions
The laborer brings his plow, hoe and
other instruments, piles them together,
and offers to them sacrifice, consisting
of incense, flowers, fruits, rice and other
similar articles; after which he pros
trates himself before them at full length.
The mason offers the same worship and
sacrifice to his trowel, his rule and other
instruments. The carpenter is no less
pious with regard to his hatchet, his
saw, his adze and his plane, before
which he is offering a sacrifice OF rice
and flowers previous to prostrating him
self before them. The barber, too, col
lects his raZors in heap and adores
them with similar rites. And the shop
keepers are in the daily habit of person
ifying the stool on which they sit: Oh,
great stool, send me to-day many Gus
toners with full purses and empty
heads" Every person, in short, in this
solemnity adores the instrument or tool
he principally uses in gaining his liveli-
hood. The tools are then considered as
deities to whom they present their sup
plications that they will continue favor
able and furnish them with the means oil
living; and to such depth does this
base idolatry descend that the farmers
in certain districts offer sacrifice to the
dunghill which is afterward to enrich
their ground

THE first American whaler which ever
doubled Cape Horn was the Rebecca,
built by Claghorn, who was also the
architect of the famous frigate Constitu-
ton. She was launched in 1885, in New
Bedford, and though she was of only 185
tons she was regarded big ship in those
days, and the compliment of command
ing her was given to Capt. Cornelius
Grinnell, father of Henry and Moses ii.
Grinnell, of New York city. During the
reign of the Directory she was taken by the
French, recaptured by the British and re-
stored to the owners through heavy sal
wage. The Rebecca was lost at sea IN the
winter of 1904

MEDICAL science in Holland claims to
have discovered yet another remedial
power of that benefcent substance,
auinine. German physicians, who have
used it for several years in their practice,
say that quinine is a sovereign cure of
smallpox, if administered in pure state
and at an early stage of the disease. t
acts as prompt antidote to the poison
of the dread malady, but must be given
in large doses.

Custers Anabasis.

THE Sioux Indians, into whose country
Gen. Custer is now marching with an
expedition of only about 1000 available
men, are nation possessing very nearly
10000 male members capable of being
used as warriors, besides as many squaws,
who are about as available as the males
in disputing close point Of war. These
people are commanded by two noted
chiefs, Red Cloud and Spotted Tail. The
former is bitter and unrelenting enemy
of the Government, refusing hitherto to
enter into treaties or agreements OF any
character with any consistency of con-
struction. The treatment of the Govern
ment Commissioners by him last fall is an
index of his grim feelings toward the
whites. Spotted Tail has always been
ready to treat or be treated, especially
the latter, and has ridden to Washington
whenever an opportunity presented it.
self, with undisguised pleasure. He has
signed all documents presented to him
with surprising alacrity, but always with
the expectancy of new horse and sad
die, with a sixteen-shooting rifle, am
munition and equipments to match, in
which expectation he has yet to be
disappointed This can be easily ac-
counted for when it is known that his
power has long since flown; that, though
abroad hero, at home he is scarcely
equal to squaw in power. His lnf1u-
ence with the great chief, Red Cloud, is
not greater than fly's buzzing, nor is it
much among the few lodges over which
he is nominally the chief.
If handful of Modecs kept the United
States forces at bay six months in the
lava-beds of California, what will Gen.

these redskins will be no child's play.

A Rich Beggar Dismantled.

Yesterday an old man, poorly dressed,
limping as if very lame, and wearing green
glasses, entered a saloon on the river road
and asked for money, saying that he lived
at certain number on Seventh street, and
that his wife was very i'll and he too old
and lame to work. In the saloon was
man living at the very number given on
Seventh street, and he branded the old man
as liar. The old man then said it was
Seventeenth street, but he was so confused
that the half dozen men present deter
mined to see how he was made up. He
shouted ''police - as they approached him,
but the men locked the door and threw
him down. The green glasses covered as
good pair of eyes as were in the room,
and no cause for his limping could be
found. He had his left hand tied up, but
they ierked the rags off and found no hurt
or wound. Lastly, they fished out of his
pockets S3S. 45 in small money, as he had
begged it, and discovered that he had a
handbook on a Chicago savings bank with
S4S0.50 credited to him. He made great
fuss as they went on to expose him, and
finally promised that he would leave De-
troit by the Pacific Express and never
come here again. He claimed to have
begged most of the money in Toledo.
One of the men accompanied the old
knave to the Central depot and remained
there until he saw him move away on the
train.-DetroH Free Press.

Agreeable Emotions and Health.

Professor Tyndall while in this country
last year visited the Falls of Niagara, and
on reaching the Cave of the Winds by de-
Scending Biddle'S stairs he conceived the
idea of attempting to pass under the blue
waters of Horseshoe Falls from that point.
He found guide who was willing to make
the attempt with him, and together the
next day they passed through the mist and
foam of the roaring cataract, reached the
desired point. and returned in safety. In
describing his emotions at one point in his
perilous Journey, he remarks as follows ::
Here my guide sheltered me again and
desired me 10 look up; did so, and could
see as before. the green gleam of the
mighty curve sweeping over the upper
ledge, and the fitful plunge of the water as
the spray between us and it alternately
gathered and disappeared. An eminent
friend of mine often speaks to me of the
mistake of those physicians who regard
mans ailments as purely chemical, to be met
by chemical remedies only. He contends
for the psychological element of cure. By
agreeable emotions nervous currents are
liberated which stimulate blood, brain and
viscera. The influence rained from ladies'
eyes enable my friend to thrive on dishes
which would kill him if eaten alone. a
Sanative effect of the same order L expert
enced amid the spray and thunder OF Nj
agara. Quickened by the emotions there
aroused the blood sped healthily through
the arteries. abolishing intrOspectiOn,
clearing the heart of all bitterness, and en-
abling one to think with tolerance, if not
with tenderness, of the most relentless and
unreasonable foe. Apart from its scien-
tific value and purely as a moral agent,
the play, submit, is worth the candle"

Moses I'm Egypt.

Mariette's discoveries thus far have
thrown less light upon the sojourn of the
Israelites in Egypt than many might have
expected or wished. We are apt to forget,
in the great Importance which the Biblical
narrative possesses for us, that small sub
ject race, like the Jews, could only be acci-
dentally mentioned in the annals of such a
proud and powerful people. A few strong
probabilities, however, are worthy OF being
noticed. The conjectured period ef Jo-
seph's arrival in Egypt corresponds with
that of the HyksOs, or Shepherd Kings,
who being strangers themselves, would the
more readily confer high authority upon
stranger. Moses, almost certainly, was
educated as an Egyptian priest under the
reign of Rameses IL, and the Pharaoh of
Exodus was the latter's son, Menephthah,
a superb bust of whom is in Marlette's
museum. The name Moses is the Egypt
ian Mesu, signifying "child," or boy"
A recently-deciphered papyrus contains
an official report concerning a certain
" Mesu," who is declared to have much in
fiuence over 1.-THE foreign people," as the
descendants of the Hyksos, the lsraelites,
and other Semitic tribes settled in the Delta,
were collectively designated. Bricks,

Moist and Dry Air.

A comparison of the losses of heat by
the respiration of an absolutely dry and alb
sOlutelv saturated air at 800 and S6o f. is
highly instructive. At 320 and dry we
lose I,l72 calOric units at $50 and dry we
lose 1,096 caloric units-difference only rs
calOric units. At 32o and saturated we lose
LOGO calOric units; at $50 and saturated,
420 calOric units-difference rs much as $40
caloric units.
The different states of dryness of the air
appear thus to be of a greater moment than
the difference Of temperature, and this is
the reason why our sensations do not al
WAYS coincide with the thermometer. You
readily understand how much more diff
cult it is to manage ones heat-hOusehOld
in a hot than in a cold climate. Our
means of warming ourselves are better than
those for carrying off our heat. Therefore
the European race has had a hard fight un-
der the equator. The working power of the
body depends upon certain amount of
consumption, by which certain amount
of heat is necessarily created, which has to
leaXe the body in a regular way. The
HifidOO who has to draw the Europeans
punkah bears the heat better in proper
ton as he takes less food and creates less
heat in himself, but then his working
power is quite propOrtionate to the total Of
his consumption.
The Europeans struggle in hot climate
and his dangers of a degeneracy will re-
main as long as he has no better means of
cooling himself by some or all of the known
three routes. Houses with thick stone
walls are tolerably efficaciOus. These walls
rarely get warmer than the average tenn
perature of the year. They cool the air
which comes into the house, and act on
the inmates in the way we have seen when
speaking of the room which is not warmed
through and through. A good means
would be some cOntrivance by which the
air in the house could bedepriyed of water.
