ASTRONOMERS of speculative turn
of mind have suggested that there may
be connection between the variations
of the spots on the face of the sun and
excessive rains and droughts. Now
comes Mr.. B. G. Jenkins, Fellow of the
British Royal Astronomical Society,
who says that cholera, the black death,
and other plaques, are the effect of plan
etary influences, and particularly OF
those of the four outer planets, Jupiter
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. He goes
back for hundreds of years; asserts that
all the plaques which have swept over
Europe during that period can be &C
counted for by the movements and
position of one or more of these planets,
and concludes with the ominous predic-
ton; 81 would say that, within the next
seven years, there will happen that
which has not happened for hundreds
of years; all the planets at or near their
nearest point to the sun about the
same time. 1t is true OF the earth
that its magnetic intensity is greatest
about the time when it is near the
sun; the same is probably true of all
the planets; therefore we may expect
extraordinary magnetic phenomena dur
ing the next seven years, and great
plaques which will manifest themselves
in all their intensity when Jupiter is
about three years from his perihelion-
that is, in 1888"

. In the Nineteenth Century Lord Beach
ford has an interesting article about the
causes of the Zulu war. He states that
the Zulu kingdom was founded by one
Chaka, man of great military genius
and unbounded ferocity; terrible con-
aueror, not so much regardless of hui
man life as greedy of blood and empire,
and that Cetawayo still considers the
declaration of Chaka "to permit no
black power to share the sunlight" as
sacredly binding on him.

ADILE HANUM, a rich and Jealous
young Mohammedan woman of Bagdad
has shown herself to be sort of Turkish
Joan of Arc. When the late conflict
began, she rode into Mouktar Pasha'
camp in Armenia, at the head of fifty
six mounted troopers. Throughout the
campaign she was the bravest of the
brave, dashing into the thickest of the
fray, and animating her followers by
her daring to fight like devils; every
one of the original fifty-six was killed,
captured or missing, and Adile was her
self twice wounded. She won the rank
of lieutenant, and was decorated with
the order of Mediidie.

In the district of Shantung, in Chin,

In the district OF Shantung, in China,
a new source of wealth has been discoy-
cred. Small diamonds exist in consider
able quantities, and the mode of collec-
ton is very curious. The mountain
streams of Chinkangling are the favorite
spots for demonstrating. The natives
walk about in the sand, and in the
streams, arrayed in thick straw shoes.
The diamonds, being obligingly ragged
and pointed, stick in the straw shoes,
which are burnt, and the diamonds are
then collected from the ashes. The
average size of these gems is about that
efa pins head, though one as large as a
pea was carried to Cheefoo and sold to a
mandarin lately. The trade is in the
hands of the priests of the Chinkangling
temples, and the diamonds are sold to
GLACIERS at the great annual fairs.

FACTS about the city of London are
always interesting, and we find few in
the Cornhill Magazine. London is
spread over about seven thousand miles.
There is one death there every six min.
utes, and one death every four. The
growth of the population is at the rate
of seventy.fve thousand year, or two
hundred and five each day. The total
length of streets in London is about
seven thousand miles; there are bnilt
every year about nine thousand new
houses, by which the length of the streets
is increased twenty-eight miles. In the
jails there is an average of seventy-fve
thousand prisoners. The foreign-born
residents of London number about one
hundred thousand; but thirty-seven per
! cent. of the whole population were born
ont of the city. i

Good Advice 10 Parents.

Many parents labor under the mis-
taken impression that their children
must all pass through The ordeal known
as children's diseases, and, as they
sometimes express il. the sooner the
better. A child is no more subject to
disease Gin fact less so) than an adult,
if the proper precautions are taken to
regulate its Diet and keep the system
cleansed by appropriate medicines. BY
this we do not mean an habitual "dos-
ing with purgaiiycs. Such a practice
would weaken the infant system so that
il could not resist the attacks of dis.
ease. and would also prove ruinous to
its physical constitution. Eut mod
crate, occasional use of an efficient al
teraiivc, or blood-pnriicr would al
most absolutely insure the childs sys-
tenn against disease. besides greatly
promoting its vigor and strength. Dr.
Picrcc's Golden Medical Discovery is
uncxcellcd as an Alternative, and will
prove very cilectual preventive OF
these diseases.
