Not before 1882 was the proceeding
stirred up again, but then matters went
on with energy TO their final result. In
1888 judgment was pronounced against
Calico in these terms.
We say, pronounce, judge, and de-
clare thee, the aforesaid Calico, to have
rendered myself to this holy Office
vehemently suspected of heresy ON ac-
count of those things which were de-
duced in the written process and which
thou hast confessed as above; that is,
that thou didst believe and hold that
false doctrine, and contrary to the holy
and divine Scriptures, that the sun is the
center of the universe and does not
move from east to west, and that the
arth moves and is not the center of the
world and that such an opinion may be
held and defended as probable after it
was declared and defined to be contrary
to holy writ, and consequently that thou
! hast incurred all the censure and punish
ments decreed and promulgated by the
sacred canons and other general and
particular constitutions against delin-
! quents Of this sort. From the which it
pleases us to absolve thee, provided only
thou first with sincere heart and I'M
feigned faith, before us. adjure, curse,
and detest the aforesaid errors and here
sizes, and any other error and heresy con-
trary to the Catholic and apostolic
church, in the form which shall be shown
| by us to thee.
The next day Calico publicly made
the required adjuration and took a
solemn oath never thereafter, in speech
nor in writing, to teach that the sun
stands still and the earth moves. The
mistake of John Jasper is that he lives
about two hundred and fifty years toe
late. In Galileo's time he would have
been on the winning side, whereas now
his once orthodox opinions are received
only with derision by everybody but the
Richmond negroes.

Eating their Own Flour.

The Hindoos share largely in the de-
pravity incident to the human race. They
will lie and cheat, and are SO cunning,
withal, that he must be a shrewd man
who detects them. An English officer
was once on a tour of inspection, and
pitched his tent at Tooljapoor, place
frequented by pilgrims on account of its
holy associations.
complaints from pilgrims and travellers
against the four-sellers. They not only
gave short weight, but so adulterated the
flour with sand that the cakes made Of
it could not be eaten. AS the native
officials could not manage the cheats,
the officer determined to teach them
lesson, show them the superiority of
English shrewdness.
Calling some of the most trustworthy
of his men, he ordered each one to buy
-four, and note the shop where he pur-
chased it. The men brought the officer
their samples, each one of which he
tested, and found it SO full of sand as to
be UNBEATABLE.
Every fiour-sel'er in the place was Or
dered to appear, with his baskets of
flour, his weights and scales before the
officer. On their arrival, they were
seated in row on the grass in front of
the tent.
Each of you," said the officer to the
unsuspecting four-sellers, care to weigh
out two pounds of your -four"
1t was done; and one asked, as it for
the pilgrimsY'
No." replied the officer, striving to
keep his face straight, cit is for you.
Each one must eat his own -four"
Instantly they saw the trap into which
they had fallen, and offered to pay any
fine he might impose.
No, mop he answered "You have
made many eat your flour, why should
you object to eat it yourselves?'
Amid the jeers of the bystanders some
of them began to eat, suffering out the
half-moistened -four, which could be
heard crunching between their teeth.
Pardon! pardon" they cried, fling
ing themselves on their faces
"Swear," cried the officer, "swear by
the holy mother in yonder temple, that
you will not fill the mouth of worshipers
with dirtl You have brought this on
yourselves. Not man in the country
but will laugh at the four-sellers, who
could not eat their own -four because it
broke their teeth"
They swore, were released, and no
further complaints of bad -four were
heard

ITEINS FOR FIELD AND HO USE.

MAKE paste of soft soap and emery

A SMALL quantity of turpentine added
to stove backing will make the stove
easier to polish.
To remove old putty from window

it, and it will come off easily.
A FEW drops of glycerine in bottle

A BOTTLE of faxseed oil, chalk and
vinegar, mixed to the consistency of
cream, should be kept in every house for

THERE is no part of the year when
cellars in which vegetables are stored
need ventilation oftener than the pres

aired every day, the vegetables should
be removed.
SUGAR drops: rub to a cream six
ounces of powdered sugar with three

The Signal of the Snow Spirit,

A little distance west of Sierra Valley
there is very high mountain from
which strange and sublime spectacle
is visible of clear day in summer.
From behind a chain of snow-covered
hills, thirty or forty miles north, a
great sheet of light rises up slowly, lin
gers few moments, and then drops
suddenly behind the hill, reappearing
at intervals of six or eight minutes. The
phenomenon is to be seen between ten
and twelve o'clock in the morning, and
only while the snow remains on the
mountain; it is not readily observable,
and we presume we never should have
noticed it had it not been pointed out
by closer observer of atmospherical
peculiarities. Our speculative friend
named it the "Signal of the Snow
Spirit" and attempted philosophical
explanation which we entirely failed to
comprehend. After the eye becomes
adapted to the light glare Of the snow,
the signal is quite apparent, rising and
falling like a great belt of northern
light of which two giants of the mist
had made a winnowing sheet.

A Pen Plcfure.

A few months, or even weeks, since, her
pallid countenance was the very type of
ruddy healtb-the delight of the school and
the pride of the household. She was always
welcome wherever duty or pleasure led her
Diligent, punctual, and exemplary in the
classroom, obedient and loving at home,
she won the hearts of all. Bet alas those
glowing cheeks and lips are now blanched
by consumption. The voice once SO ell
chanting in laugh and song is feeble, husky
and broken by hollow cough. Let us APP
proach her couch and gently take her
bloodless hand in our own. Do not shud-
der because of its feeble, passionless grasp
The hand once so warm and plump shows
its bony outlines, while the cords and tor
tuous veins a'e plainly mapped upon its
surface. The pulse that bounded with re-
p elton, imparting beauty, vivacity, health,
and strength, to the system, is delicate to
the touch. The enervated heart feebly pro-
pels the thin, scanty blood. Must we lose
her while yet so young and so fair? No.
There is relief. But something more is re-
quired than the observance of hygienic
rules, for enfeebled nature calls for aid and
she must have it, Administer this pleasant
medicine. 1t is inyigorating. 1t allays the
irritable cough, improves the appetite and
digestion, and sends a healty Jingle through
her whole being. The blood is enriched,
nervous power increased, and the heart
bounds with a new impulse. Her face
brightens-the blood is returning, her voice
is clearer, and her requests are no longer
delivered in that peevish, fretful tone so
| deadening to sympathy. Her step is still
faltering. but strength is rapidly returning.
Let us take her out in the warm, life-giving
sunshine. In a few weeks she will go with.
out our aid and be able to join her compan.
ions in their pleasant pastimes and feel her
whole being warmed and expanded into
perfect life" The change is so great that
we think she is sweeter and nobler than
ever before. And the medicine which has
wrought this transformation, we look upon
as blessing to humanity, for there are other
loved ones to be rescued from the grasp
of the insidious destroyer. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has raised her
1t will raise others.
