Children,S Parties.

Somebody writing on How to Give
Chf1dren's Party" says: One of the
most successful parties that my children
ever attended was given by clever and
rather eccentric friend of mine. In issu-
ing her invitations, she requested that
the children might arrive not later than
three and be sent for not later than eight
o'clock. When they arrived they were
shown into q large, comfortable room,
and the hostess and lady friend joined
with them in playing at old-fashioned
round games, which were continued after
tea. About half-past seven the children
, were taken into another room aud in
vited to seat themselves around large
table. In the middle of this was a
Christmas tree, prettily lighted and
tastefully decorated. A plate was set
for each child, upon which was an or
ange, a piece of cake, few raisins, and
by the side of the plate small parcel
containing a present. Upon the parcel
was placed dolls candlestick holding
a small wax taper lighted. The children
examined their presents and partook OF

The Next Foreign Battle Field.

There is great strife going on among
the leading powers of Europe for the
possession of more territory. Great
Britain has managed to grasp the Suez
Canal, as well as al that part of the
common plunderipg field OF Asia con-
tanned in the Empire of India; Germany
and Austria are having sharp eye upon
the Danubian Provinces of European
Turkey; while Russia is striding like a
giant toward disputing with England
the possession of Asia, taking up on the
way all such strong provinces as Kho-
kand, and yearning for. the possession Of
Servia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Herze-
govina, in European Turkey, which
Austria covets.
The most ambitious of all foreign rul-
ers at the present time is the Gar of
Russia. His onward tramp into Asia is
the cause of alarm and jealousy ON the
part of Germany, Great Britain and Aus
tria. These three nations are watch
dogs on his track, and evidently intend
to brighten him from the feast upon
which they are all equally eager to feed.
With the Cars flag waving now IN Kho-
kand, only 225 miles from English terri
tory in Asia, Great Britain is forced
upon the lookout; and with Austria ia
the projected path of the progressive
Russian ruler, Germany naturally falls
to whetting her sabers to save a country
which she would absorb herself. And
here, in one of these two regions-Aus
tria and the Danubian Provinces in Eu
rope, or the borders of India in Asia
seems destined to be fought the next
great war between these foreign sover-
eignties-Germany vs.. Russia, if the
ambition of the latter infringes upon
Austria's coveted acquisitions on the
Danube; or Great Britain vs.. Russia, if,
perchance, the ambition of either of
these Powers should overleap itself in
its greed for territorial or commercial
predominance in the East Chicago

Solar Heat.

Astronomers are still discussing the
investigations of solar heat made by M.
Vicaire, and the conclusion arrived at by
that eminent observer, namely that the
temperature of the suns surface is en-
tirely comparable with that of terrestrial
flames, and is certainly less than $500
degrees Fahrenheit. But even more in
teresting than this, is the conclusion ar
rived at by Prof. Thomson, namely, that
the suns radiation amounts to about
7,000-horse power for each square foot
of its surface, and that coal burning at
the rate of half a pound per second pro-
duces almost the same result Rankine,
however, has estimated that, in the fur
mace of an ordinary locomotive, coal is
consumed at the rate of one pound per
square foot OF CRATE surface, in from
thirty TO ninety seconds. Hence the
force expended in radiation from square
foot of the suns surface is only from If
teen to forty five times greater than that
developed from an equal surface of coal
burning in the furnace of locomotive
requiring, therefore, an increase of tenn
perature of less than 1000 degrees Fab
renheit to make the radiation from the
Goals tho sar as that from an equal
area OF the suns surface.

Prehistoric Man.

A late letter from Spring Lake gives an in
teresting account of the excavation of the
mounds at Spoonville, by party Of scientists.
The writer says: THE mounds at Spoonville
nine miles east of Spring Lake, on the bank Of
Grand river, which have been source of much
comment and speculation since this section has
been inhabited by the present race, were visited
and explored by party OF scientists consisting
Of Prof. w. d. Cunning, the no.ed scientist Of
Boston the Rev. j. Straubs, o. p. Pillsbury,
and ID. Mclaughlin, Of Muskegon L. 8.
Smith, d. G. Garisey, G. H. Debois, Hy Potter,
Drs. McNetta and Styles, of Grand Haven, sew
eral reporters, and large number Of others
interested. Only two Of the mounds were ex-
humed. In one was found four skulls and
large quantities of human bones Of indi-
viduals who inhabited this country not less
than 1000 years ago. The skulls of these be-
ings are very low and narrow, with projected
Jaws, showing they were more of the animal
than the human kind, and about half way be-
tween the ape and present man. quantity Of
pottery, copper, hatchets, and needles were
also found in the excavation. In the second
mound only skull and quantity of bones
were found. Prof. Cunning thinks these the
richest mounds yet explored, ard further in
vestigation will be made in few days, when it
8 expected many more interesting discoveries
will be made"

A Brutal Physician.

The following remarkable statement
is from the Augusta (lde.) Journal: ga
pauper by the name of John Swamburne,
an Englishman by birth, lived in the
town of Washington, in this State. He
fought at the battle of Waterloo, and
was wounded in the head. He always
believed and said that he had the bullet
in his head. Somt four weeks since Mr..
Swamburne died, and physician asked
permission of the selectmen to examine
the head of the deceased, to discover if
the theory of carrying the bullet therein
was correct. Permission was given.
The body was placed in coffin, which
was carried into the church, to remain
over night, for safe excepting. The body
was in the hands of the sexton. The
next morning the physician came to the
church and told the sexton he had per-
mission to cut off the head, which he did
in most bungling and awkward man.
ner, and, putting it into a pail, carried
it to his Office. and told the sexton to
bury the body. After dissectihg the
head and failing to find the bullet, he
caused the head to be returned to the
church, and as the body had been buried
he told the sexton to bury it. The sex
ton asked, Where shall bury it 2 The
doctor replied, AT his feet; and when
Swamburne goes through purgatory he
can turn somersault and catch his
head = The sexton, acting on this sug-
gestion, buried the head, as it was placed
in p bag by the doctor. The people were
indignant, and had the body disinterred
and the head placed in the coffin, and
the completed corpse properly buried.
1t is understood that legal steps are to
be taken in the premises.
