& The Sun Made of Metal.

In a recent article in the Nineteenth
| Century,, bydMr. j. Norman Lockyer,
the writer very strongly objects to DIR.
Diapers discovery Of oxygen in the sun.
Mr.. Lockyer says he has gone carefully
over the whole ground and finds: First,
that the" photograph on which DR..
Draper bases the discoveryYis not one
competent to settle such an important
question; second, that he does not find
the condolences between bright solar
lines and oxygen lines in the part of the
with which fhe, is most famil-
Jar; and, third, that comparing. DR..
Diapers photograph with the fine pho
tograph of the spectrum obtained by
MIR. Rutherford, he "fails to find any
true bright line in the sun whatever
-coincident with any line of oxygen
whatever. 's' Mr.. Lockyer sums u the
evidence as to the suns composition in
these words: $50 far as our uncontest-
ed knowledge goes, the sun is chiefly
made Of metal, and on this account is
strangely different from the crust of
our earth, in which the metals are in
large minority. ..,s. s,..d r,..f.. ...,4.

Quick Work.

Two years ago farm er-miller and
his wife, at Carrolton, Mo-, furnished
some invited guests with bread baked
in eight and a quarter minutes from
the time the wheat was standing in the
field. This year it was determined to
make still better time. Accordingly
elaborate preparations were made to
reap, thrash, grind, and bake the grain
with the least possible loss of time r '
III l minute Is seconds the wheat,
about peck, was cut and threshed, and
put on the back Of a swift horse to be
carried to the mill, 16 rods away. In 2
minutes II seconds the flour was de-
livered to Mrs. Lawton, and in 3m. 55s
from the starting Of the reaper the first
griddle. cake was done. In, 4 minutes
81 seconds from the starting of the
reaper, a pan Of biscuits was delivered
to the assembled guests.
After that, according to the Carrolton
Democrat. other pans of delicious " one
minute" biscuits were baked more at
leisure and eagerly devoured, With the
usual accompaniment of boiled ham
and speech making. .et at' q,

: A FEW years ago the astronomers in
sisted upon astonishing themselves and
alarming the credulous and timid, who
are always ready for a panic on account
of celestial phenomena, by learned dis
QUESTIONS about the protuberances"
seen on the suns surface during an
eclipse. When the moon covered the
face OF tue sun the protuberances"
were seen at the edge These were sup
posed to be prodiglous waves of flame
some Of them about 100000 miles
high. 1t was estimated that if the
earth and moon were tumbled into one
of the great "protuberances" they
would vanish in fervent heat like Jumps
of coal cast into furnace. 1t was
supposed that the excessive heat of the
month through which we have just
passed was, perhaps. due to the unusual
agitation of the protuberances." But
the astronomers on the line of
totality of the eclipse of July 90, re-
port no protuberances." There was
a lovely corona; but as for protuber-
ances," hot one. This seems almost
like a practical joke on the astron-
omers by the SUM- Cincinnati Com

German Letter.

In the town we noticed numberless
peasants attired in funny costumes,
Many wore scarfs twisted, in turban-like
fashion, around their heads, and long
calico double NANTES or capes, gathered
in full around the neck and hanging
loosely from the shoulders; the under
one extended nearly to the bottom of
the dress while the upper one, orna-
mented with wide ruffle of the same
material, was foot or SO shorter.
Some of these undercapes are arranged
in a sort of bag in front, in which it is
convenient for a mother to carry her
child | might here add that the style
of dressing German babies might not be
heartily approved by every American
mother. Until the child is 3 or months
old it is carried around in swaddling
clothes. 1t is only allowed to have the
free use of its hands and arms, its lower
limbs and waist being wrapped around
by what is styled g wickle-band," If
the baby was consulted in regard to
this mode Of dress it might inform us
that it did very we'll for winter, but
that it was little too warm for sum-
mer, and also that it would really like
to exercise its lower limbs freely. .....,

direct violation of the laws of nature.
Perspiration is a moisture which nature
spreads over the surface of the human

by wearing very little clothing, and by
adopting, light colors for dress. The

The little general then took his visi-

cupied in 70, at his return from the
three-years' tour around the world. 1t
is elegantly furnished and carpeted
throughout, the walls covered with
paintings, and numerous cabinets filled
with treasured sovenlrs, of the generals
long career before the public. The
furniture is all of the usual size, except
that of his own room, which is diminu-
tive and of the most elegant descrip-
ton.
The general showed with pride the
picture Of the Prince Of Wales, given
him by the prince; the little Grand
piano presented to him in "A by Kirk
man & Sons, of London; also the sewing
machine presented to his wife as a
wedding gift by Wheeler & Wilson; the
billiard table from Michael Phelan, of
New York, presented to his wife in
1868, at the time ladies were taking up
billiard playing as q fashionable amuse-
ment, and many other interesting and
curious articles. In the stable near by
are his wife's. pair of English ponies,
the generals carriages, large and small,
etc. The general also has a fast trotter,
some promising colts, and other live
stock, in which he takes great interest.
In,ra field adjacent gambolled the gem
erals pair Of travelling ponies, which
have accompanied him all over the
world.
"There! [ guess you've seen the
whole show now," said the general,
with smile, as the party finished their
tour. " Now if you like, I'll drive you

ElOped With His Wife's Daughter,
JOhnstOwn. Pa, Tribune.

Eleven years ago Christian Goldner
alias John Goldner, was growing youth
of Verona, Allegheny county, Pa. He
married widow who had daughter
10 years fage at the time of her second
marriage, to whom Christian, alias
John, was particularly kind; and it
pleased the kind mother to know that
the tendrils Of her husbands affections
were twined SO lovingly about the heart
of her daughter. Thus they lived for
five years, or until the daughter budded
into womanhood, and then, when Mrs.
Goldner awoke one morning, she missed
her husband and daughter. Recently
she learned that there was one John
Goldner living near Johnstown, and on
Wednesday the man was arrested He
proved to be the recreant husband,
and, after hearing given him before
Squire Cox Of Johnstown, the man was
committed to jail at Ebensburg for trial,
at court. Mrs. Goldner No. 1 is several
years older than her husband

ates Impurities, but invigorates the lining OF the
Intestinal canal when weakened by constipation
Or the uDwise of violent purgatives. The

reinforced and aroused to healthful action by this
benifcent tonic and corrective, and every organ,

Farmer.
IMPROVED STOCK.-As we have passed
through the country and noticed the
scrub stock, the land sharks, it has been
a matter OF surprise to us that farmers
could be so blind to their own interest
us to plOd on IN the old rut that their
fathers trod, instead of keeping up with
the times in raising the best stock.
Take, for instance, the hog: A good
Berkshire or Poland. China pig will
make as much pork at eight or ten
months old as one of those slab-sided
land pixies will in eighteen months, and
DO 1t with much less expense other
wise, besides enabling teh owner to
realize on his labor so much sooner.
This estimate does not take into &C
count the fact that the improved breeds
are always worth from one-half to one
and one-half cents q pound more than
the common stock. What is true of
hogs IS no less true Of cattle, sheep and
horses. 1t costs no more, if as much
to raise q shOrt-horn steer as to raise a
scrub or Texas steer, but when raised
and fattened for the market the differ
ence in value will be found to amount
to several dollars in favor of the short
horns. And this difference is Just as
marked through all the stock on the
farm, even down to the poultry yard.
Let us hope that the time is near at
hand when our farmers, as class, may
see the advantage of producing the
best of everything, and then Will an
era Of prosperity dawn on them.

so badly scalded that she died Tuesday evening
after thirty-two hours of fearful suffering. As
Mrs. Albert King was returning home from the
village on the evening of the 10th, with her little
boy less than a year old in her lap, they met a
pedder's wagon as they were going up the hill
from the village. The horse became frightened
and backed off bank several foet high into a
stony brook The horse keeled over in the shafts
and lay with his head under the forward end Of
the wagon. Mrs. King climbed out over the seat
with her child, and strange to say they escaped
with slight injuries. The accident was witnessed
by several in the village. Albert Fowler, son
of John Fowler, aged about fourteen, was thrown
from horse the 18th, and had his arm broken
above the wrist. DR.. Loveioy, Of South Royalton,
