The moon was ut the full, and
shone brightly when the first pair
of miscreants-the young man who
sat on tho jelly -cako and heavy
young lady to whom lie was affianced
issued from tho front door, and
instantly sat down with tremendous
emphasis. Close behind them came
the rest of the raiders, who with ono
accord strcwed themselves over the
ground, until in some places they
were collected throo or four deep.
The shrieks of the ladies and the
stronger remarks Of the mon filed
the mir. No sooner would strug-
Cling wretch regain his feet than
he would sit down again with
renewed violence. The atfrighted
clergyman and his wife gazed with
wonder at the appalling spectacle and
the good small boy never ceased to
sing "What Shall the Harvest Be"
at the top Of his lungs-interspers-
ing the stirring hymn with wild
''whoop whenever 'a particularly
brilliant pair of stockings waved in
the air.
Although only three persons sus-
tanned fatal injuries, there was
scarcely member of the party who
escaped without more or less serious
wounds, either of body or clothing.
1t is generally believed that there
will never be another surprise party
IN BroOkficld, and it is under con.
temptation among middle-aged
house-holders to present Master
Sawyer with a service of marbles
and o life membership in the Foreign
Missionary Society, as n testimonial
OF their esteem and gratitude.

THE SUNS DISTANCE.
Professor Proctor and the Transit Dx
peditions.
From the London Tines.

I have received largo number of
letters respecting the new estimate
OF the suns distance dcducible from
the observations of tho British
Transit Expeditions. Among these
letters is one from the author of
Forthcoming work on astronomy,
who wishes to know whether all the
Dimensions depending on the suns
distance ought now to bo modified
to accord with the now evaluation.
1t may probably bo of use to indi.
cate how the matter stands.
The value Of the suns distance,
dcduced by Captain Tupman with
great skill and after much labor
from many sets Of observations
made with much care and after long
practice, may be set at 93,321, 900
miles. The sole method employed
in obtaining this result has been
that called Delisle's, which, between
1868 and 1874, was the subject of 80
much controversy in these columns
and elsewhere. In fact, the obsor-
vations employed may be said to be-
long exclusively to Sir G. Airy's
original scheme, for the Halleyan
observations, made at southern
stations by the British parties, will
DO effective only when combined
with those made at northern sta
tions by America, Russia and Ger.
many. This result, 90, 1921, 900 miles,
exceeds by very nearly million
miles Newcomb's g mean valuo-92,-
$4,000 miles-deduccd from obser,
vations by six methods. It exceeds
by moro than O million miles
Lovcrriers estimate from tho plane
tnry pcrturbations. It exceeds still
moro, by about 100000 miles tho
value for deducing which from the
transit observations of 1859, Stone,
then first assistant ut Greenwich,
received the gold medal of the AS
Economical Society.
The probable error of the new
result is set by Captain Tupman at
two hundred thousand miles. It is
rather a significant circumstance,
however, that of tho two sets of
observation-disclosures and egress-
into which the British results can
be divided, ono gives a distance
exceeding by more than million
miles the distance givon by the
other set.
It appears to mo that the main
result of tho observations is the
demonstration of what was before q
matter of surmise-the. untrustwor-
thy nature Of Delislo's method.
Respectfully yours,

Punctured Wounds.

Punctured wounds of the horse are
those inflicted by pointed body, as nail
in the foot, point of fork, or splinter OF
wood. These are the most dangerous
kind of wounds, for they are frequently
the cause of tistula and locked jaw, says
the Modern Horse Doctor.
We make it an invariable rule, in the
treatment of punctured wounds, to first
examine by probe or otherwise, and re-
move any foreign body that may be pres
ent, and then poultice with flaxseed, into
which we stir small quantity of fir bal
sam. In puncture of the foot by nail, IN
stead of plastering it with tar, and forcing
a tent into the orifice, and then covering
the sole with leather, as most blacksmiths
are wont to do, we have the shoe
taken off, the foot washed clean, and a
moderately warm pOultice applied, and
renewed daily, until the suppuratlye stage
commences. That once established, we
consider our patient safe; for many men,
as well as animals, have lost their lives
from the absorption of pus formed in the
wound after the external breach had
healed. When a bone is injured by the
point of a nail, or fork, the cure is rather
tedious; the primary wounds, however
are the same. The pouttices may be fol-
lowed by astringent injections, as alum
water, etc. In case of injury to the bone,
We use pyroligneous acid; to be thrown
into the wound by means Of a small
syringe. If fextensive disease of the bone
sets in, the services of 4 veterinary sur
geon will be required. \ profuse of un.
healthy discharge from Il punctured
wound must be met by constitutional
remedies. Sulphur and sassafras, to the
amount of half an ounce each, every 9th
er day, to the amount Of three or four
doses, will arrest the morbid phenome-
non. The local remedy in all cases OF this
kind is diluted acetic or pyIoligneous
acid.

College Students Of a Century Ago.

The change in educational methods and
aims in the last century has been most
extraordinary. DR.. Noah Porter, of Con-
necticut, father of the present President of
Yale College, gave sketch of his college
studies In letter to friend. He entered
Yale in 1899, the same year that the late
Prof. Silliman became professor. He
says:
"As though we had come fresh from the
common school, we were put back into
our grammar, geography, and the common
learning, and kept in them great part of
the first two years, so that at their close
we had scarcely advanced farther than is
now requisite for admission. And what
poor, barren things our grammars, lexi-
cons and textbooks then were, compared
with such as are now furnished!
"And our teachers were as scantily fur
nished as our books. / wonder that any
of US came out men, or ever became such.
And yet we were fully employed, and on
such things as were put intoour hands we
were kept hard at work. Though we
were perhaps half year on Morse's two
huge volumes of geography, we were re-
quired to recite the whole of them, and
our memories, if no other faculties, were
severely tasked."

Learn So~etIiE-,

Are you German."
NO, sir: am an American"
IF YOU were a German, or an Irishman.
or Frenchman, could set you to work
because you would know how to do some
! thing, but Americans don't know anything
about practical business
This reply may not apply to all Ameri-
cans, but it is lamentably true 10 great
extent In Germany the boy is brought
up where he sees something done, and has
some idea of doing If. Very few Irish
men or Germans but know how TO turn
over few rods of ground and raise some
thing upon it Most of them have some
idea of mechanical operations, the pro
| duction and uses of material and of tools
1t is those born in America who are ig-
norant and idle. 1t is the false notion
that a man does not need TO labor. or that
he can get his living by his wits, that
causes large part Of our idlcness and
distress. Begin at once to learn some
thing; no matter your age, learn sol..t
practical pursuit at once. So the Scicr /
| tic American advises.

Sanitary Use of Trees.

A correspondent of the American Ar
chitect calls attention to a phenomenon
which he has observed in the overflow of
waste from his own house. He has a
close-built brick cesspool, 8 feet in diam
eter and 8 feet deep, with an overflow
thence for liquids into percolating stone
cesspool 10 feet by 10 feet; both are
domed over at the top, each closed with
fiat stone, and covered with soil. Unlike
his neighbors, whose cesspools are con-
structed In the same manner and in the
same kind of soil, but who are subjected
to the necessity of cleaning out both cess
pools at frequent intervals, his own have
been in use for four years without being
opened, and have given him no inconveni-
ence. A few months ago a deep excava-
ton in the street near his percolating or
overflowing cesspool revealed the fact
that the moisture from it was all absorb
ed by the roots of three large and very
