How Hot It is In the Sun.

We can measure the quantity of hea,
that the sun constantly emits, because
we can measure the amount received by
our earth, which intercepts about $500
OOO,O00th part of all the light and heat
emitted by the sun. We thus find that
in every second of time the sun emits as
much heat as would result from the
combustion of IL 600,000000 tons of coal
In passing, it must be convenient to
notice that each portion of the suns
surface as large the earth emits as much
heat per second as would result from
the combustion of 1,000,000000 tons of
coal-a simple and easily remembered
relation. Now it is easily calculated from
this that If the suns whole mass con-
sisted of coal, and could burn right out
to the last ton, maintaining till then the
present rate of emission, the supply
would not last more than 5000 years.
AS the sun has most certainly been
emitting light and heat Cor longer
period than this, the idea that the solar
fire is thus maintained is, of course,
altogether untenable. There are, how
ever, many other reasons for rejecting
the idea that the sun is composed of
burning matter, using the word "burn-
ing" III its proper sense, according to
which piece of coal in fire is burning
where a piece of red-hot iron is not
burning, though burning hot. In like
manner we find ourselves compelled to
reject the belief that the sun may be a
body raised at some remote epoch to an
intense heat throughout its entire mass
and gradually cooling. For we find that
in the course of few thousand of years
such mass would cool far more than
the sun has cooled (if he has cooled
appreciably at all) even within the his
torc period; and we have evidence that
he has poured his heat on the earth dur
ing periods compared with which the
duration of the human race is but a
second amid centuries, while the dura-
ton of historic races is utterly lost TO
comparison.

An Egyntian Princess FlOgged.

The times must be out of joint when
princesses are begging their way from
door to door, and logged for telling their
experiences. Three women in tattered
garments recently asked aims Of an Ara
bian official in the streets of Cairo. He
took pity on the trembling creatures,
and fancied that he discerned something
more refined in them than in the ordi-
nary beggar. He heard wonderful
story. The three beggar women were
princesses, who had formerly been the
wives of the Viceroy, Abba Pacha, pre-
decessor of the reigning Khedive. They
received q handsome legacy from him,
which yielded sufficient to maintain
them in handsome style, corresponding
to their former rank.
About three years ago the khedive
required them to make over their pos
sessions to the Government, engaging
that they should receive Il regularly paid
equivalent from the State rentes, which
would relieve them of all future anxiety
about the administration of their prep
erty. They readily assented, and for a
short time the money was duly received.
After q year, however, all further pay
ment ceased, and they have not received
single penny from the State from that
day to this. At first they tried to main
tain themselves by selling their jewels
and ornaments. When this store was
spent, the princesses turned washer
women, but they earned SO little that
they fell into dire trouble from hunger
and want.
Their story was taken to the English
minister, Rogers Wilson, and he was
convinced of its truth. Meanwhile the
three ladies were seized by an officer
and two soldiers. "How dare you COM

"Getting Eyen'' With an Irishman.

When | was at school (said G.) there
was one boy with whom l was always
quarreling. He was an Irish youth
named Barney, and, like many of his

A Gambling Incident.

A lady of rank in Paris died recently
in the fashionable quarter Of the Arc de
Triomphe, of whom an interesting story
is told. She was q famous card-player,
and was credited with knowing every
game there was to know. When travel
ing in Il foreign land she had, one day,
in hotel, met Russian lady with that
passion for gambling said TO be inherent
in the Russian nation. Anxious to play
with the lady from Paris, she wrote re-
9uesting few games. Her request was
i!ranted and the ladies played all night,
The Russian losing at every hand, until
her Eopponent had won from her more
money than the mines in the Ural had
produced for her revenus in twenty-five
years. At last the Russian lady made q
despairing effort to regain her fortune,
but without avail. Rising from the ta-
BILE, she told the French lady how she
had lost more than she possessed, but
that i'll her desire to pay debt of honor
she would instruct her steward to con-
vey to her the title deeds of an the
mines and estates she owned. At this
the victorious antagonist smiled and re-
quested that she might have her own
way III the matter, since she had won.
A priest and lawyer were sent for.
When they arrived, the Russian lady
was asked to bind herself by q solemn
oath never again to touch a card or risk
money at any game of chance. She did
so, and then signed an engagement to
pay her antagonist the annual sum of
$4,000. The vow never to play cards fol
money again she faithfully kept, and the
$1,000 was punctually paid every year
the French lady giving it the name of
the,,"Queen of Spades bounty" and in
variably giving it to the poor of the city
of Paris.

COnsun,ptiOn.

The prevalence of consumption rs
shown by neutrality-suspicious. i'll New
England and Northern New York
should awaken popular attention. Were
cholera or smallpox or malarial fever to
show as large bill of mortality III the
regions mentioned as consumption, even
for one year, the greatest excitement
would be stirred up, and tremendous
efforts would be made for It's suppression;
but the fell lung malady is permitted to
20 ON with It's dreadful work, and little
more than regrets are heard on account
Of its existence.
Doubtless the severe northern climate
is Il principal cause of the disease, but
the diet dress and habits of the people
have as much Cf not more) to do with
its prevalence. The masses Of the New
England people do not eat food which
is sufficiently nutritious, particularly in
winter. They do not wear suitable clo
thing to protect their bodies against the
severe frosts and penetrating damps.
Moreover it is found that the chief cause
of consumption is breathing impure air,
and the ill-ventilated living and sleeping
rooms of the consumptive districts may
be pointed to in confirmation of the as
sertion. Buckwheat or Indian pancakes
soaked with lard and covered with mo-
lasses, fried pork, ham, salt beef, salt fish
leathery pie, soggy dumplings, coffee,
and tea can not be relied upon to nour-
ish and sustain q handwriting man or
woman in any part of the country, and
such diet persisted in is sure to bring
a harvest of dyspeptic affections and fe-
vers. Simple, farinaceous food-milk,
fruit, vegetables, eggs, and occasionally q
bit of fresh meat, plainly cooked-are
what the people require for their stom-
achs; while warm clothing, clean beds,
pure air. comfortable dwellings, will do
the rest toward maintaining their health.

respondent, is spoiled. The mother has

The true idea of self-restraint is to let
the child venture. a child's mistakes
are often better than its no mistakes
because when child makes mistakes
and has to correct them, it is then on
the way to knowing something. A child
that IS walked up every morning, and
never wakes itself up; and is dressed,
and never makes mistakes in dressing
itself; and is washed, and never makes
mistakes about being clean and is fed,
and never has anything to do with its
food; and is watched and never watches
itself; and is cared for, kept all day from

4 Fraud That Succeeded.

An ingenious fraud was recently COM
mitted upon wealthy merchant resi-
ding i'll Paris. He received letter in
forming him that the writer had ascer-
tanned that a box containing treasure
was buriedsin his garden, and offering to
indicate the exact spot if he would agree
TO divide the spoil. The merchant was
at first inclined TO treat the matter as
hoax, but upon receiving q second and
more pressing offer he sent an answer
agreeing TO the proposal. The next day
he was waited upon by gentleman of
agreeable manners, and it was arranged
that the search should be made at night,
in order to prevent the neighbors talk
ing The boX-a very weighty one-was
duly unearthed, and, when taken into
the house and opened, was found to con-
tain 5000 francs ($l 600 in silver pieces
of five francs each. The merchant,
much pleased at the result of the search,
at once handed over the half which he
had promised to his informer, who re-
marked that it was rather heavy lump
to carry to the railway station, distant
about a mile, and that perhaps the mer-
chant could oblige him with notes or
gold instead. This the merchant was
very happy to do; but he regretted it
bitterly the next morning, as he saw
that the five franc pieces were all coun-
terfeit.
