According 70 the ancient Egyptisn
astronomy there were seven planets
Two,the Sun and Moon, ,clrciing sround
the earth, and rest clrcllng round the
sun. These planets they arranged IN
order tbeginning with the plahuts Of
the longest p~Tind), as follows; 4, Sa-
turn 3, Jupiter |; 8, Mars s,ths San;
s. Venus; 9, Mercury 2, Moon. Tho
seven days In order were assigned 20
the planet which iuled the nrst hour,
aud thus the days we're named rs fol-
tows: The SUMS day <Sunday); the
Moons day MONDAY, LundD; Mara
day TUESDAY, Mardi); Mcrcnry's day
"wednesday, Mercredi); Jupiter's day
Thursday, Jeudl) Venus day (Ftldsy,
Veneris dies, Vendredi); saturn's day

OF the nature OF the KgyptiAn week end
Of the method Ia which the arrange.

the course OF the evening Mr.. Wong
stated that amoug the Chinese mathe.
meticians were hired at "a per week.
They do this work by machinery as Il
were, and It Is the dirty labor 0f the
empire. When Mr. Wong first came to
this country to enter college, he was
told that &c was necessary to study
mathematics two years he at once told
them he knew mathew atics better than
those who we're to teach him IN this
particular branch. Illustrative OF this,
Wong, In his address at Browns hall,
offered to foot up several columns OF
figures. For convenience, his manager,
Mr.. Hawkins, was to name the figures,
but the young professor OF mathematics
at Asbury, whO was present, thought
he saw haw there, and at once came
to his feet. He asked: '0H.'
"Will you, sir, allow me to give you
the figures 2" ..
Certainly, sir I shall be glad 70
have you do so." was Mr.. wong's
courteous answer. 'Hs 'tT
"Now, then, siI," began the profess
sor, and he named sum upon sum, not
going beyond the tens Of thousands, but
giving him at least thirty different sums
to add. When they were all on paper
Mr.. Wong asked:
And now Ia that all, sire" 70

A PARTISAN. who is rather too fond Of
a practical joke, noticed the other day a
newly married couple driving in a superb
landau. He followed them, and hired all
the hacks he could t~ind-fOurteen in num-
ber-by the hour. Hedirected the drivers
to follow the nuptial landau in Indian file,
one by one, and then jumping into the last
one himself awaited the event. The mys-
FERROUS procession winding along toward
the Bots o attracted attention and Gre
ated quite a sensation. At last, after a
long while, the bridegroom's attention
was called to the situation by the smiles of
persons passing by. He was very indig-
nant, and has made a formal complaint
against the audacioUs joker.

III Az
BY AriZona's sea of sand
Some bearded miners gray and Old,
And resOiute in search OF gold,
Sat down to tap the savage land.
They tented in a canyons mouth
That gapei against the warm wide south
And underneath a w~aye-washed wall,
Where now no rains OF winds may fall,
They delyei the level salt white sands
For gold, with bold and horny hands.
\ miner stood beside his mine,
He pulled his beard, then looked away
Across the level sea of sand,
Beneath his broad and hairy hand,
A hand as hard as knots Of pine.
1T looks 50 like a sea, ;" said he.
He pulled his beard and he did say,
st looks just ike a dried up sea"
Again he pulled that beard of his,
But said no other thing than this.
4 stalwart miner dealt 4 stroke,
And struck 4 buried beam OF oak;
An old ships beam the shaf~tappeared,
With Storm-worn faded figure head.
The miner twisted his long beard,
Leaneion his pjCk-ax as he spoke:
''TiS from some lonE-lost ship" he said,
'SOme laden ship Of solomon
That sailed these lonesome seas upon
In search Of Ophir's mine; all! me,
That sailed this driei-up desert sea-"

Stagnation in Business the World
Over.

1t is poor consolation in adversely
to know that we are not alone in our
misery; such as it is, however, our
iron manufacturers may take it to
themselves. The depression of the
iron trade is general throughout the
world. The production of pig-iron
in Scotland was less in 1874 than in
any of the last twenty years. At
one time there were only 30 furnaces
blowing, ont OF the 1872 erected, and
the production was 400, 900 tons less
than in 1870 Russia, notwithstand-
ing its activity in railroad building,
imported only 5221 900 pounds Of
rails against 7,119,0O0 in 1878 In
Prussia, the large steel ofworks Krupp
discharged come thousand workmen;
and the Borsig mandatory of en-
gines at Berlen-the most extensive
in Germany-has had to protect itself
by taking similar step. Last month
the largest Austrian mandatory of
engines, Sigl dispensed with 1000
hands. for the reason that it had
neither orders or sufficient working
capital. The government, however,
in true Austrian fashion, remedied
both misfortunes by advancing capt.
tai to the works, and By causing some
of the railroads to give extensive
orders for rolling stock.
