A Powerful Telescope.

Sometimes Mr. Fairs glass ls turned
upon the sun, and the intense rays Of the
latter make q focus a short distance from
the end of the tube which is capable of
setting anything combustible on fire.
Yesterday Mr.. Fair was exhibiting the
instrument to some friends, when, turn
ing his back to it, he remarked: .r..
"Gentlemen, since I began my astro-
pomical duties, contemplating the vast
universe, observing the sidereal move.
ments Of the stars, the moons ecliptic,
and the a1ial rotations of other orbs, I
have been a changedman. What I once
read in books T now know by actual OBJ
servation. Take the sun, for instance:
853, 900 miles in diameter, over 1885,
900 times the size OF the earth, and e1-
ceeding the combined mass of planets
$50 times" ~.
Here the Colonel backed up into the
focus of the instrument, and a jet of

What Kills.

In the school, as in the world, far more
rust out than wear out. Study is most
tedious and wearisome to those who
study least. Drones always have the
hardest time. Grumblers make poor
scholars, and their lessons are uniformly
"hard and too long" The time and
thought expended in Sinking would be
ample to master their tasks. Sloth,
gormandizing, and worry kill their
thousands where ,over-study harms one.
Al curse rests on laziness and gluttony.
By the very constitution of d being
they are fitted to beget that torpor and
dependency which chill the blood,
deaden the nerves, enfeeble the mus.
cles, and derange the whole vital ma
chinery. Fretting, fdgeting, nnui,
and anxiety are among the must com
mon causes of disease. ON the other
hand, high aspiration and enthusiasm
help digestion and respiration, and send
an increased supply Of vital energy to all
parts of the body. Courage and work
invigorate the whole system, and lift one
into a purer atmosphere, above the
reach of contagion. The lazy groan
most over their "arduous duties, while
earnest workers talk little about the ex-
hausting labors of their profession. OF
all creatures the sloth would seem to be
the most worried and worn.

Two Little Girls Smothered in q Trunk.

One of the most awful calamties ever
recorded is that Of the death OF the two
daughters of Mrs. Amelia Moench, first
assistant teacher of German in q St..
Louis school, by being 4sufocated in o
trunk. The little girls have for; a:year
past been with their father on farm

and thirty.eight miles from st. Louis.
Mrs. Moench spends her vacations on
the farm, and was prepared to go to her
husband and children Immediately upon
the close of school. Mr.. Moench had
gone to Dixon, and his little girls called
cheerfully after him to hurry back, and
if he wrote to their mamma to send their
love. On his return he was surprised
not to see them awaiting him. He call.
ed but received no answer. He went
into the house AID saw the tray of the.
trunk setting on the floor A horrible
fear flashed on his mind. He opened
the trunk and found the two little girls;
the younger, who was underneath, was
evidently past all hope, but the elder
was still warm and limp. Not a neigh
Dor was within half a mile. The father
dashed cold water on the children, then
rubbed them with vinegar, and made
every effort to restore animation, labor
ing until after twelve O'Clock, but IN
vain. He then gave up in despair, and
went to seek help from q neighbor. The
little girls were aged eight and FIVE years
respectively.
