Professor Swift the famous comet-discover.
er of this city, gave very interesting short
talk on the ''Varaiations in the Earths Or
bit" before the Teachers Institute this morn
ing. He showed that the earths orbit is
rocking to and fro in swings of about 1O9, $50
years in length, producing complete changes
in the earth's seasons. The polar regions, he
said, are decreasing now 100 feet year, and
in IL, 900 years the north star will rise and
set In 1000. 900 years hence, if an astrono-
mer of to-day could then return to the earth,
he would find that the heavens with its beati-
full consultations will have completely
changed in appearance. He showed in few
words what constituted degree In circle,
the former depending upon the latter's size.
He also spoke of the wonderful double stars,
which seem to the naked eye like one star,
but which under favorable circumstances,
when seen through powerful telescopes, are
seen to be several stars. In conclusion he
discussed the question, ''how long will the
machinery of the heavens last :" but he left
his hearers in the dark on that point.

HvOsier Girl who Would like to Marry
the President.
Washington Telegram.]

washington Ielegram.J
A young lady who gavethe name of Emline
Noble, and her residence ''Indiana," called
upon President Hayes yesterday, and informed
him that she had arrived in accordance with
her promise to marry him. The president said
that he would have to consult some of his
friends about the marriage, and managed to
get out of the room. She was then taken in
charge by an officer and conducted to police
headquarters. She was rather finely dressed,
had just arrived in the city, and seemed bent
on being married. Senator VOORHEES,, upon
being informed of the case, and happening
to know her parents, requested that she be
sent to the government asylum for treatment.
She was sent there to-day, in the meantime
being provided with quarters at hotel. She
had with her $217, which she parted with re-
luctantly, although she was told it would be
kept safe for her at police headquarters. She
appeared very indignant because the presi-
dent did not marry her, as she had imagined
he would, and said if he had not consented
in his silence in declining the offer she had
sent him in letters, she would have married
young man in Indianapolis. Miss Noble is
about twenty seven years of age, and is not
at all bad looking, and besides is we'll educa.

Drinking at Meals.
[Rursl New Yorker.]


Large draughts of very cold water taken
into the stomach with the food, by chilling
the stomach by its rapid passage through the
walls of its vessels, do arrest the secretion of
digestive fluids until the proper warmth is
re-established. Large draughts, also, of tea and
coffee, by the astringency of the former, and
by the nervine action of the theme they both
contain, as we'll, also, as by the peculiar mar
cOtic action of coffee-derange and hinder
digestion. Alcoholics, however diluted, have
like effect. With these limitations we but
declare the cOncensus of all Psychologists
when we say that full response to the calls
OF thirst at meal times, as at other times is
wise and proper. And for this reason: The
sense of thirst is given to rs not only that we
may keep the fluids of the body duly sup
piled with solvent and dilutent material, but
also that, through the excretory organs, all
soluble offensive substance may be quickly
washed away. In the digestive process, the
demand for water in aid of both these neces-
sary purpose is urgent In nearly everything
we eat there are soluble substances that are
in excess, and this excess should be promptly
carried out of the system. Perhaps the most
abundant among these, usually, is the CON-
mon salt so freely taken. 1t is however, by
no means the only one and they all, unless
promptly removed, act as irritants. Their
action upon the stomach will, in very short
time, decrease and soon arrest the flow of
the gastric fluids and disturb the muscular
action by which the stomach ''churns,' so
to speak, its contents, that ever portion may
receive its due admixture of digestive ma
terial. This disturbance of muscular action is
seen at its highest in vomiting by which the
offending substance is elected summarily, to-
gether with all the contents of the organ.
Now, it is best not to overeat, and it is best
to eat simple food, with as little excess of
seasoning or of Objectionable elements as
possible. But, under all circumstances, it is
both wrong and dangerous to give refusal to
natures call for natures remedy in such
cases. Plenty of drink is what is demanded,
and free supply of fluids must be given if
serious consequences arc TO be avoided.
The consequence Of refusal are not all i'm
mediate. The irritation from lack of drink,
as we'll as that from improper drinks, become
in time chronic, passing in time to inflam-
nation, the result of which is dyspepsia and
the symptom of which is pain. Then, for
want of diluent fluid by which offending So
luble substances are quickly removed, these
often assume insoluble forms and are deposi-
ted in various parts of the body, to remain
there constant sources of pain and danger.
Gravel and stone in the urinary organs, bill
larry concretions in the liver, calcareous de-
posits in the joints and elsewhere, and possibly
tubercular deposits in various organs are, we
may say with much certainty, due in some
degree, to foolish fear of water-drinking.

A New Flying Machine.
New Haven Paladirm.l

New Haven Paladirm
Professor G. F. Kichel of Bridgeport is
constructing flying machine which he is
to use at Coney Island. The india-rubber
gas cylinder is being made at the Naugatuck
glove shop. This is slightly eliptical in
shape, is forty-five feet three inches in length,
and about forty-three feet in circumference.
The cylinder is to be inflated with hydrogen
gas and will have sustaining capacity ade-
quate to the support of the machinery neces-
sary to operate the car, and two men addi-
tional, lacking about one pound weight. The
whole structure is thus almost upon poise
Still it will not rise except by operating the
paddles or ''rings" necessary for that pur-
pose. Its propelling agencies are so nicely
constructed that the car may be raised or
lowered, moved forward or backward, pro.
PEELED in circle, at the will of the operator.
1t is a very ingenius affair throughout and
throws other machines of the sort into the
background.

How often the soft, fossy hair of children
is seen crimped, pinched and curled, and
nothing is so inj furious to the ultimate health
of the hair as this sort of treatment. Wee
creatures of three or four years and even
younger, are arrayed in curl papers by affec-
tiona1e and admiring mothers, who are bent
upon making the children charming, and
who do not stop to consider how far they
may be defeating their own ends by the ac-
ton, or how much pain they may be infict-
ing upon the objects of their fond solicitude
An authority on that subject says: 'Up
to the age of six or seven children retain
what is called their baby hair, which is in
jured, not improved by cutting. In its soft
and delicate sickness, it is like the first plum
age of young bird, and quite different from
the harsher hair which succeeds it. If the
hair curls naturally it looks charming dressed
in that fashion, but putting it in papers is
sure to injure it and pull it out by the roots.
The use OF curling irons is still more objec-
tionable; anything which tangles and cuts
the hair is bad in the extreme, and it is to be
regretted that mothers draw 50 heavily upon
the capital of their children's hair, instead OF
using the yearly increasing interest of its
beauty and value One disastrous result aris-
ing from the prevalent custom of allowing
the hair to flow uncOnfned down the should
ers has been in some cases, disease of the
spine or other ills of kindred nature This
has been attributed to the heat of the hair,
when it is thick, and as the hair is non-con-
ductor the constant warmth of it about the
the neck and shoulders becomes a weaken
ing agency and betrays itself in some miser-
able form. The scalp of the head should be
always kept clean. The hair should not be
brought in contact with very sharp comb
teeth; it should be carefully and we'll brushed
and loosely coilcd in one of the becoming
fashions that abound at present, without be-
ing injurious to the growth or beauty of the
hair, or detrimental to the physical struct-

BY THE SEA.

Ny blue-eyed pet with golden hair
Is sitting on my knee,
And gazes eagerly atar,
Across the beach, beyond the bar,
Where rolls the restless sea-
She puts her little hands in mine.
And laughs with childish gee,
To zee the fOaming billOws splash,
As on the shore they fiercely dash,
Then glide back silently.
But while she laughs 80 merrily
My heart is far away;
And, as l look upon the shore,
Where loud and long the breakers roar,
My sad soul seems to say,
1.-The sea is like human life;
1t breaks upon the shore
Of time with resistless might.
And, when the goal is just in sight,
Dies-tO return no more.
"And all along the shore of time
Full many wreck doth lie;
The pangs of many mad carouse,
Of blasted hopes and broken vows,
Of happy days gone BY"
Yet, while muse in mOurnful mood,
And gaze upon the sea,
My blue-eyed pet 18th golden hair,
Whose heart has never known care,
Still sits upon my knee.
Her head is resting on my breast
Her eyes in slumber deep;
The same rough sea whose breakers roar,
And madly, fiercely lash the shore,
Has lulled my child to sleep.

POLITENEsS IS KINDNESS.
Indianapolis Journal.l


While at Providence Rhode Island, | met
Mrs. Mary A. Livermore at the house OF a
friend. at the table the conversation fell
upon the subject of polteness. The hostess
told of friend of hers, little antique in
her manners, for whom reception was
given by one of the Beacon street aristocra-
cy of Boston. At dinner the guest poured
out her tea in saucer to cool it-a method
of refrigeration which was quite an fat
thirty years ago. The guests looked surprised,
and some were inclined to smile at her SIM
plicity and ignorance of high-toned propri-
ETY., but the lady of the house poured some
tea into her saucer and drank it therefrom.
This was considered hint to all, and the
guest was Immediately placed at her ease.
Mrs. Livermore said: II was once the re-
cipient of very marked politeness of SINH
lar sort. When was in London my hus-
band and l received verbal invitation from
Lady Villas, whom had met once or twice
pleasantly, to come 10 her house next even
ing and meet few friends of hers. So we
went out riding in the afternoon, stopping
there on our way back to the hotel. Judge
my amaZement to find the house illuminated
and very large and brilliant party assem-
bled in full dress in my honor. There l was
in plain carriage dress, bonnet and black
gloves!"
"What in the world did you do?" inquired
young girl at the table, impatient for the
announcement.
"Why, went right into the house and to
the ladies' dressing-room, whence l sent
note to the hostess saying that l had misap-
pretended her invitation and was not in ap-
propriate costume. She ran up and reassured
me by telling me they had come to see me
and didn't care for the dress, and carried me
right down with her. All in full dress and
the ladies without hats, and hair elaborately
dressed, with brown dress, bare hands, and
bonnet on. soon recovered the self-posess-
ion which the .faur pas somewhat disturbed,
and was greeted with splendid cordiality.
In few moments Mr.. Livermore edged
around behind me and whispered, Didn't
you think, Mary. that all these ladies
had on white kid gloves when you came
in?" l looked around, and they were
all bare-handed! Moreover. l observed
that half a dozen had bonnets on. This
half dozen rapidly increased, till we
were in majority, and soon discovered that
no lady who arrived after did had removed
her hat! Now, that is what I call polite
ness"

THE BROOK.

But yesterday this brook was bright
And tranquil rs the clear moonlight,
That wOos the palm on Orient shores;
But now hoarse, dark stream it pOurs
Impetuous DER its dark bed of rock,
Bolls into currents fierce and fieet,
That dash the white foam round our feet
raging whirl of waters rent
As il with angry discomfort.
4 tempest in the night swept by,
Born of murk and fiery sky,
And while the solid woodlands shook,
1t wreaked its fury on the brook.
The evil genius of the blast
Within its quiet bosom passed,
And therefore is it that quiet tide,
Which used as lovingly to glide
As thoughts through spirits sanctified.
Shows now whirl of waters rent
As if with angry discomfort.
| knew of late creature height
And gentle as the clear moonlight.
The tenderest and the kindest heart
God ever sent loving part
To act on earth-acrOss whose lie
A sudden passion swept in strife,
With wild, unhallOwed forces rile-
1t stirred her natures inmOst deep
That never more shall rest or sleep;
Remorse its rugged bed of rock,
Der which for aye with thunder-shock,
The tides of fe' ling, fierce and fleet,
Are dashed to foam or icy sleet,
A raging whirl of waters, rent
BY something worse than discomfort.
