One Way to Keep Cool.

A Springfield genius favors the Hart
ford Times with the following valuable
suggestion: With 81 degrees of heat in
the parlor and 112 degrees outside,
have found great relief from hanging a
ten-quart tin pail, with six-quart one
inside with ice in it above the head. ANY
water-cooler, even an ice-pitcher, can be
suspended so as to get double benefit
from its presence. Sitting by a table,
writing, one can not abate the heat by
using a fan; with ice above the head
mot resting on iD much is gained in
preventing sickness, or in alleviating
suffering if one is sick. Where ice can
not be had, q wet canopy IS the next best
device. To which the Times replies:
Our correspondents plan is no doubt
good; but there may be even a better
way than TO sit under a lump of ice. A
fat ithaca (N. " woman and bevy of
young children, attired in calico, passed
nearly the whole of one of the hot days
last week seated in Cascadilla Creek,
sheltered by an umbrella.

perature of the sun, and should, he
thinks, produce corresponding changes
on the earth. He would not be sur.
prised at serious results and radical eli
matte variations. The connec'
ton between sun spots and
droughts which produce fam:
ines, he holds proven. Terrestrial
magnetism, he points out, has been less
energetic during the past four years
than during the preceding 40. Mr.. Nor
ton of the Stevens Institute follows the
English scientist in gloomy, or, rather,
fiery forecasts. He, too, is surprised
that no great changes have occurred,
The absence of the green line shows that
the self-luminous gaseous matter pre-
viously observed in the corona is only a
temporary occupant. He thinks that
he sees an argument in favor OF the old
theory that the sun is fed by meteorites,
huge iron bolts fired at old Sol, and he
can not shake from his mind the belief
that such changes are liable to occur on
earth as would make the pole tropical.
1t is comforting that Prof. lanyard, Of
England, agrees with our American as
tronomer, DR.. Draper, and is not prey
to fears of an intolerable increase of So
lar heat on the earth or its equally in
tolerable diminution. Prof. Loder also
keeps his imagination cool. We pre-
sumo that a little later these learned
sun.doctors will come little nearer to
an agreement on the temperature of their
illustrious patient, but at present the av-
erage citizen, while convinced that there
is great astronomical erudition just now
at Denver, will have chance for choos-
ing his own favorite from among the
many contradictory deductions drawn
by astronomers. The growing certainty
about the discovery of the new star at
only fifteen million miles from the sun
looks like the probability of great
posthumous triumph for Leverrier.-

How Raisins are Prepared.

A strip of land bordering the Medi-
terranean, somwhat less than 100 miles
in length and in width not exceeding 3
or 6, is the raisin producing territory of
Spain. Beyond these boundaries the
Muscatel grape, from which the raisin
is principally produced, may grow and
thrive abundantly, but the fruit must go
to the market or the wine press., When
the grapes begin to ripen in August the
farmer carefully inspects the fruit as it
lies on the warm dry soil, and one by
one clips the clusters rs they reach per-
fiction. In almost all vineyards slants
of masonry are prepared, looking like
unglazed hot-beds, and covered with
fine pebbles, on which the fruit is en-
posed to dry. But the small proprietor
prefers not to carry his grapes SO far
1t is better, he thinks, to deposit them
nearer at hand, where there Is less
danger of bruising, and where bees and
wasps are less likely TO find them. Day
by day the cut branches are examined
and turned, till they are sufficiently
cured to be borne to the house, usually
on the hilltop, and there deposited in
the empty wine-presS, till enough have
been collected for the trimmers and
packers to begin their work. At this
stage great piles of rough dried raiSins
are brought forth from the wine-press
and heaped upon boards. One by one
the lunches are carefully inspected,
those of the first quality being trimmed
OF all irregularities and imperfect ber-
ries and deposited in piles by them
selves: So in turn are treated those Of
the second quality, while the clippings
and inferior fruit are received into bas-
ketS n the feet of the trimmcrs and re-
served for home consumption. \ guam
tity of small wooden trays are now
brought forward, just the size OF a COM
mon raiSin-boX and about rs inch deep.
In these papers are neatly laid 50 Is To
lap over and cover the raiSins evenly
deposited in the trays, which are then
subjected To heavy pressure in rude
press. After pressing the raiSnis are
dropped into the boxes for market.

Kearney's Boston Speech.

I am workingman. You will eX
cuse me for not being able to address
you on this occasion. However, you
will have ample opportunity to hear me
in the near future. l bring you glad
tidings from California. We left the
plains of California strewn with the fes'
tering carcasses of public plunderers,
and we hope to see the United States OF
America similarly organized. l do not
intend to address a faction, class or a
party. My simple mission is to address
the honest, horny-handed sons of toll.
l have proclaimed from the inception Of
this movement death to the machine
politicians, death to the thieving capital
lists, and death upon death to the MUIR
dering, plundering, thieving land
pirates.
Now, friends, I hope you will excuse
me from taking any further action to-
day, as you will soon have ample oppor-
tunity to hear me in the open air, in
open-air meetings. L hope, however,
to see the workingmen organize in this
State and carry the next gubernatorial
election. We do not propose to discuss
the issue of Nationality. We do not
propose to take into our organization
any "isms." We mean to organize
ourselves together as workingmen to
ameliorate our condition by the ballot,
that we may become more powerful
than the sword of monarchical legions.
l hope you'll wish to state, however,
that | have been misrepresented by the
press. The Associated Press has taken
pleasure in fixing up the reports of my
utterances in California. They have
been fixed up in San Francisco by I'M
scrupulous m;nions of the thieving cap
italists and blood suckers in general.
They have distorted my speeches. and l
have never had fair show. thank
God am not a man who was made by
the newspapers. l am q man who was
made by God, and l despise the corrupt,
monopoly-fostering press of the United
States. The workingmen have come to
look upon the -" star-spangled banner "
as Haunting lie-as fit token of a ma
tional protection of legions of numbering
monopolists, who are day by day grind
ing the workingmen in the dust. We
propose, as said before, to ameliorate
the condition of the laboring men. We
propose to do in this section what the
laboring men have done in California
that is to meet the capitalists in square
fight. Labor won, and to-day labor is
crowned king.

SPANS Most Beautiful Cathedral.

There are larger and more massive
cathedrals in Spain, but that of BurgOs
is the most beautiful. No mere out
line can afford any adequate idea of its
architectural richness. The order is
Gothic, the purest, the most harmonious,
and the richest of the thirteenth CEN
fury. The principal facade has three
rich ogival portals, and above them two
open, graceful towers, not unlike the
one at Strasbourg, but of a reduced
height. In the center is the dome of the
lantern, and in the rear the tower of the
Constable's Chapel, all magniicently
ornamented with statuettes of saints,
Gothic canopies, filagree pinacle, and
other airy elaboration. The interior is
in the form of Latin cross, 300 feet in
length, and 213 feet in width in the
widest point. The cloisters, the Arch
bishops palace, and several chapels
surrounding the cross, somewh:t COM
plicate the plan. Twenty massive
octagon pillars form three naves but the
effect of the full eXpanse is crippled by
the inevitable choir and high altar in
the center. The pre-eminent feture OF
the interior is the lantern, which, with
its four pillars and lofty dome, grand
and rich beyond all efforts at word
sketching. The Chapels of the Consta-
BILE and of Santiago (St. ,Ames the
Elder) are the gems of the ten and the
former is of especial richness In all
there are sixty tombs in the cihedral,
including several of the old roal fami-
lies and distinguished ecclesistics OF

The SUn.DOctOrs Differ.

All the astronomers who have taken
observations of the late solar eclipse
from stations in the West agree in the
importance of the revelations made.
The great luminary is pronounced to be
in state of comparative quiescence,
for which, in spite of the alleged law of
the periodical city of sun spots, they ap-
pear to have been somewhat unprepar-
ed. Only one protuberance was noted,
and the corona gave continuous spec
trum from which the green line 1474 X
was missing, showing, according to
Prof. Draper, that it consists Of q band
of continuous light solely due to rehec-
ton. The low energy of the sun, and
lis consequent lack OF masses of ignited
yapor projected beyond the chromo-
sphere, is held to account for the absence
of the green line, which represents the
unknown substance, probably very
light gas, and which is called helium
for want of better term. This appar-
ent leSsening of the vitality of the sun
appears 10 Prof. Draper as something
which at the first blush should induce
wonderful changes in the climate Of the
earth, but in the fact that no such mu-
taiions are noted on this globe he con-
cludes that the abnormal condition of
the sun at the IL year period Of maxi
mum sun spots "cOunts but little
against the total amount Of heat sent out
Al all tines He therefore sees no
rnrent 81 III 70 climate or crops in the
sctivity OF quiescenee Of the sun. Not
