The new comet discovered by \ French
star gazer two weeks ago ia still LURKING
around the heavens without any visible
means Of support. Like all Migrants it has
u very plausible tail 10 unfold, but the ques
tl.n will arise in we'll regulated minds,
"W hat is this stranger doing around 50 late
at nightf" A comet Is neither useful nor
Ornamental at this season of the year. The
nights are getting altogether too chilly for
young persons to develop suddenly an
earnest desire for astronomical knowledge,
or to indulge in pleasant evening walks
under the shallow pretense OF looking for
the comet. 1t is true that Mars moons
supplied the vacancy for short time, but
this Was only temporary, as ir was soon
found that even the wonderful magnifying
power Of a looking-glass would not render
the satellites visible, and of course the
moons became of no value as pretext for
evening strolis. If the astronomers really
wish to benefit this country they will bring
along their moons and comets and things Q
little earlier in the season. Reform 10 this
direction is necessary

The WoRsr YEr.-"Why, asked Plato
of Socrates, as they languidly rose from
the symposium and walked up the Appian
way, why Is a lazy dog like sheet Of
paper?" Socrates thought'uIy rubbed his
ear and sait: Seems 20 INF I've heard
that before sOme~ here" "Well, old an

Socrates made seveu futile attempts,
