The Cause of Sun Spots.

The minimum sun spot period seems
to have hardly passed away, although
spots on the solar surface begin to be
more frequent. The origin of these
disturbances is, of course, unknown.
Mr.. w. Matthew Williams, in his we'll
known work, "The Fuel of the Sum-"
attributes them to the influence of the
larger planets, acting by gravity upon
the mass of the sun. "The planetary
notions" says Mr.. Williams, "are so
complex, and their relative positions
are so perpetually changing, that the
position of the general centre of gravity
in relation to the mass of the sun is
never the same for two consecutive
seconds, and, therefore, the disturban-
ees of the SUMS motion, due to the re-
action of planetary gravitation, must
be most irregular and complex, especi-
ally if the greater portion OF the bulk
of the sun consists of gaseous matter,
and the nucleus is but a compare
lively small kernel in the midst of the
gaseous mass. The gaseous matter
would be lifted, or bulged, or undula-
ted as tide-wave, and dropped again,
but the solid (or more probably WIS.,
cous) nucleus would be dragged bodily
about, with an irregular reeling motion
insioe this profound undulating gaseous
ocean, which it would stir into eddies,
as the stroke of fsh's tail makes ed
dies in a pool. Without attempting to
define the nature Of these irregularities,

TAXING TOLL.


= The door of the mill stood Richard Lee;
White az an image of snow was he,
From his heavy boots TO his beautiful lips,
From the crown of his hat TO his finger-tips,
Now, slowly jogging alongtlH street.
Drove Farmer Brown, with his grist of wheat,
And with him Bessie, as fresh as the spring,
Andlripe as the fruits the fall months bring.
While the farmer drove about the town,
Young Lee ground the wheat and bOlted IL down
With many glance at the maiden fair,
Who sat by the door in the oaken chair.
Atlest he called her in shouting tones,
And she stood by the whirling rumblng stones
And watched the grain ~ IL ebbed so still
Till the farmer came, but the noise of the mill
Drowned the sound of his feet, and over the hop

Two heads were bent, and when Richard Lee
saw him standing there he stammered, "I-set
That is"-then he paused and shuffled his feet,

But the farmer smiled and said, We'll, Bess,

And the maiden looked down confused and
meek,
With patch of -four on one cheekl
Still the old man didn't take it i'll,
For he knew young Richard owned the mill.
But he mused, as they slowly rode away;
: Well I've been to mill now many day

SEEING STONEWALL JACKSON.

Mr.. A. G. Redwood, in one of his
Johnny Reb" papers, in Scribner for
June, gives this description of an Incl
dent within the Confederate lines. He
says:
1t was the end of bleak November
day; the fires of railway ties extending
in long line either way as far as the
| eye could reach made still more neutral
by contrast with their ruddy light the
dun gray fields of stubble, and the woods
IN which the gorgeous panoply of the
earlier season was paling into russell and
ashy tones. The work was over and we
were waiting with some impatience for
the order to take up the line of march
back to camp; for the evening air struck
chilly through our threadbare and tat
tered jackets, and we had eaten nothing
since early morning. Moreover a rumor
had spread abroad that an issue of fresh
pork awaited our return, and though the
long habit of expecting nothing good
until it came secured US against any SER
ious disappointment, there were not
wanting tender memories of ''short"
biscuit to raise our anticipations higher
than we cared to own. Thus preoccu-
pied, we are fain to refer distant cheer
ing further down the line to tidings of
the coming rationS, and we gather by
the roadside in order to get off the more
promptly when our turn shall arrive.
The sound grows more and more distinct
every moment, and now, far down the
road some moving object can just be dis
cerned IN cloud of dust which travels
rapidly our way. Nearer and nearer it
comes, louder and more enthusiastic
ring the shouts, and now we make out in
the dust the figure Of a single horseman,
with clump of others trailing off into
obscurity behind him-Jackson is coming
a moment more and he is here, going at
almost top speed; his hat is off: his hair
blown back from his broad white fore.
head; his eyes dancing and his cheeks
aglow with excitement, and the rush of
keen air. And now the cheers grow
deafening and ragged hats are swung
more wildly still as the men of the Foot
Cavalry recognize their leader The
cavalcade passes like a whirlwind and
disappears in the dust up the road.
cheered to the very last tagging courier
of the escort,-for we are in good humcr
now with ourselves and all the world.
And as we step briskly out upon our
hoIaeward march, the air feels fresh and
invigorating, and the miles seem shorter
than they were in the morning; even the
beloved biscuit is of minor consequence.
and the promised pork pales beside the
thought which fills us-that we have
seen jackson,
And we got tie pork besides,

Recently the head of Frank Tolles, the
leader of a band of highwaymen, was
borne into Cheyenne, Wyoming territory
and exhibited to jubilant crowd. When
the people had taken q good look at it, it
was buried on the prairie in the outskirts
of the town. In passing over the prairie
few evening ago, G. P. Clark saw the
skull dancing along and bobbing up and
down among the cactus bushes. His
hair stood on end. Cold chills struck
him. When he reached Cheyenne ne
was as white as a sheet. Everybody
scoifed at his story; but a few men were
induced to go out and take look. The
next morning whole crowd went out to
investigate. There again was the NOV
ing skull. The boldest in the party
sppro ached. Ali at once little prairie
dog bounded from the skull and shot
away into its hole near by. 1t had ap-
propriated the highwayman's head for a
resting place.

There has been 6u extended discussion
in Chicago over the question whether
contagion can be transmitted from books
in the public libraries. Theoretically it
is held that disease may be SO transmit
ted. but practically it is not. Mr. Poole,
the Librarian of the public library of
Chicago, has been in communication
with the officials of all the principal IL
braries in the United States and Canada,
as well rs those of foreign libraries.
While some librarians admit the posi-
bility of the conveyance of infection in
this way, none refer to actual cases. It
has been wisely determined, nevertheless
to exercise extreme care in the future
delivery of books. The librarian is to
receive from the health department list
OF all the houses in which these diseases
appear, and no books will be allowed to
go to such houses, and those received
from them viii be carefully disinfected.
1t is wise measure and ought to be
generally adopted where pubic libraries
exist.

LAWFUL HOMICIDES.

At least one out of every four who snffcr
death on the gallows, is not rendered in
sensible by fall that breaks the neck, but
is simply chokcd to death, as a man would
be who was slowly hoisted by block and
tackle. The torture of the victim in such
cases is terrible, and nobody can witness il
without feeling of sickcning horror. The
execution Of old man Hunter was most
bungling and shocking affair, and, although
it had been preceded by hangings ten times
more appalling, it was the first to excite
anything like general demand that means
be adopted to render the recurrence of such
scenes an impossibility.
Of all plans for killing man legally,
that have been adopted by civilized people,
hanging by the heck is the most barbarous.
Poisoning, beheading, guillotinlng, garroting
and drowning-all these are more mcrciful
than hanging; and since the object is not
TO inhict pain upon the victim, but to rob
him of bis life, we do not see why the most
mercifu and least painful Of
all methods, viz: poisoning, might
might not be adopted, and hanging abol
ished.
The idea that executions should be public,
that the horrors of the scene might excer-
cisea restraining influence upon the viciously
inclined, has long ago been abandoned. 1t
was found that the effect was demoralzng
that the frequency Of executions so harden
cd the sonsibilities of spectators as TO final
~ render them Indifferent to the struggles
and agones of the victims, though of the
most appalling nature. For this reason
majority of the States rcsorted TO private cX-
ecutions; or executions within an enclosure,
in presence OF an enumerated few, only.
And now, since public executions are no
longer allowed, because Of their dcbasing
effect, why may not the victim be dispatch,
ed, in the presence Of few witnesses, by
painless poison, in his own cclll The aim
of the law, to put monster cut of the
world, would thus be accomplished and
the feelings Of the community would
never be Mortified by such cruel
and barbarous butcheries as
occur every month Of the year, and as are
sure to continue to occur so long as we re-
tain the halter as the instrument for in
aicting the death penalty. 1t mGy occur
that "old foges' will assai even this sug.
gcstion in the line of mercy because, in its
turn, it assails a practice 'sanctilied by
the rust OF ages" 1t is about time that Il
use OF that SOFT ct argument should cease.
