4 German physician, Dr. Tre;chler, ayers
 that habitual headache among young people is
 largely on the increase and he is inclined to attribute it to excessive intellectual exersion,
 often caused by the fancy of parents for hay ing great variety of subjects taught and more especially to night work. which, he says, produces in the brain the same condition as would be produced in the muscles, if, after long days march, a mountain climber vera to continue walking far on into the night, and were to repeat this day after day. Dr. TreichIer's letter has elicted from London physician statement that hs has sometimes found the brain to be growing faster than the skull which contained it. What seemed like great stupidity was for time the result, but in time the skull effected it's enlargement and the brain was relieved. Parents and teachers should 'smake a note" of these statements
 The reports received from Chicago in re- gard to the delegates thus far elected to the Republican State convention apparently
 more contradictory than they ought to be. The press dispatches repeating the returns of the Chicago Tribune give Blaine oonsidera
 bls majority. The Inter-Ocsan, on the con- | trary, reports that Grant has 163 delegates 1 against 93 for Blaine, and that this proportion is very likely to continue to the end. The same authority states that the report that Grant derives his support from Democratic countless and Blaine from the Republican counties, is the reverse of the truth-the strongest Republican counties in 1 the State sending up solid delegations for Grant. The Cook county (including Chicago) delegates are to be chosen to day. and they
 will doubtless determine the character of the
 convention beyond dispute. The contest is
 carried sn with great deal of bitterness

The letter of State Senator Robertson of New York, declaring his intention not to obey the instructions of tha convention and vote for Grant, is a frank document. Senator Robertson makes Q mistake, however, when he says concerning the action of the last Re publican national convention in deciding the unit rule not binding: With Republicans that decision is final, and the Utica conven tioh had no power to overrule it. As well might the General Term of the Supreme Court reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals" The decision Ia not final, for each convention can do as it sees fit with the unit rule, but it is probable that ths precedent will be followed.

long weary years, he gave up all
hope of finding his darling.
''Nor would I ever have found
you had it not been for that dear,

He then took Helen's hand and
removed the ring, and iE its stead
he put a flashing solitaire.

Woman's Charity for Woman.

Fannie Ward, sprightly writer in
Forney's Washington Chronicle,
speaking of charity between man
kind, very truthfully says:
"But when it comes to woman's
charity for woman, l fear the sex
are incorrigible, and no amount of
preaching will avail. Samantha
Allen understood whereof she
spoke, in the following pointed re-
marks: "Wimmen are mearcr
than pnsly about some things, and
this is one of them. Now wimmen
will 90 out and kill the fatted calf
with their own hands to feast the
male prodical tha. has been livin'
Oh husks. But let the woman that
he has been boardin' with on the.
same bundle of husks ask meekly
for a little mite of this veal critter,
will she get it? No! she won't
get so much as one of the hoofs.
She will be told to keep on catin'
her husks, and after she has got
through with 'eln to die, for, after a
acOmdaa has once cat husEs, she can't
never eat any other vitt.es and if
she asks mcekly, why is her
stomach so different from the male
husk~eater, lie went right off from
husks to fatted calf, they'll cay to
her, what is sin in woman hain't
sin in a man. Men are such noble
creatures that they soiW be little
wild, it is expected of 'cm; but
after they hsye sowed their wild
oats they always settle down and
make the very best of men.
"Can't l settle down too p cries
the poor woman. 81 am sick of
wild oats too, | am sicl. of husks.
l want to live good l;fc in the
sight of God and man. Can't l
settle down too s''
eyes, you can settle down in the
grave" they say to her. "When a
woman has sinned once that is all
the place there is for her. a wom-
an cannot be fogiven." There is
an old sa! in: "Go and sin nc
more;" but that is 1,SOO years ole
awful old fashioned.
And then, after they have fasten'
ed the male husk-eater on this Cos
pei veal, and tell on his neck anc
embraced him a few times, they
will take into their houses anc
marry him te their purcst and pret
test daughter, at the same time

: Cheerful Women.

In marrying, men should seek
happy women. They make a ter
riblc mistake when they marry for
beauty, or for talent, or for style;
the sweetest wives are those who
possess the magic secret Of being
happy under any and every cir
cumstance, Rich or poor, high or
low, it makes no difference, the
bright, little fountain of JOY bub-
bles up just as musically in their
hearts. Nothing ever goes wrong
with them-no trouble is too serious
for them "to make the best of it,"
Was ever the stream Of calamity SO
dark and deep that Tie sunlight OF
a happy face falling across its turbid
tide wonld not awake an answering
glcam Why, then, joyons-tem-
percd people don't know half the
good they do. No matter how
cross and Grabbed you feel, no
matter if your brain is full of
meditation on affiict.ng dispensa-
ton, and your stomach with mcdi-
cine, pills and tonics just set one
of those cherry little wo,ncn talking
to you, and we arc not afraid to
wager anything she can curc you.
The long-drawnc1 line about the
mouth Will relax the cloud OF set
tied gloom will vanish, nobody
knows where, and the first thing
you know you will be laughing!
Ah, what blessings are these hap
py women! How often their little
hands guide the pondcrous ma
chincry of life, with almost an in
visible touch How we look tor-
ward through the weary day to the
tireside smiles! No one knows, no
one over will know, until the day
of judgment reveals, how much we
owe to these helpful, hopeful un-
complaining happy women

Alfonso's Bridal Bed.

From the Council Chamber in
the Palace at Madrid, we pass into
the Kings bcdchambcr, which is
simply but richly furnished. The
walls are hung with beautiful speci-
mems of the Gobclin tapestry, but
the carpets are of Spanish manu-
factnre. An exquisitely carved

of his room, which, like tho royal
household, is principally remark
able for its elegant simplicity. Ad-
joining is a chambre dc toilette with
marble bath, washstand, etc. A
shert corridor separates the apart
mcnts of the Queen from those OF
her royal spouse. Passing through

like canopy is richly upholstered IN

and devices with golden threads.

an embroidered shield, on which
the initials of the spouse are worked
in gold. The shield is supported
by two reclining nymphs, nude as

Mysterious Elementary Disturb
anCeS.

The people living ont on Neuse
River, not far from the city, were
frightened Friday about 10 clock,
by an exceedingly loud, roaring
noise in the heavens. Mingling
with this noise were sounds of ter
rife loudness. like thunder claps.
These explosions were very sharp
and there were several of them. BY
some their noise and jar was pro-
nounced like that mado by a twelve
FOUNDER gun. The noises seem to
run along the sky from the north
and were of varying intensity. The
sky was perfectly clear at the time.
The duration of the rumbling noise,
which was very steady, was over
FIVE minutes. There has been of
late several mysterious sigh's and
sounds in the heavens. Going home
at an early hour in the morning
not long since, a person saw the
sky suddenly flame into brightness
then the brilliant glow died away,
but in a lew moments again retutn-
ed. A Charlotte paper reports
that on Friday, about 10 O'Clock, a
bright meteor was seen coming In
this direc ion. 1t was probably this
| which caused the noises heard on
, the Neuse, the reports being pro-
duced by the bursting of the meteor
into fragments. These occurrences
take a strong hold on the imagin-
ations of many persons. AS we
have before stated, there are a
number of persons who believe.
and believes firmly, tha. the earth
will go to wreck in 1881, the time

Leap Years.

A subscriber has asked us why
1900 will not be leap year, and
we make the following explanation,
which, we hope, is sufficiently clear:
The earth, as matter of fact,
completes her full orbit around the
sun in three hundred and sixty
five days, five honrs, eleven minutes
and ten and theirty-cight hundreths
seconds. That is the time she
consumes in getting back exactly
to where she was the year before,
and that time constitutes the year.
When Julius Caesar stopped fight
ing and came to look after his
affairs at Rome, he found the year
very far wrong, the seasons ont of
fix and things generally awry.
And while he was much occupied
with other concerns, he Gid not
belong to the old set who thought
that "timc was made for slaves"
but, or :hc contrary, great as he
WAS in battle, in the forum, as an
orator and all that, he busted him
self in getting the seasons right and
undertook to keep them straight
thereafter tor all time. To do
this, instead of going along at the
old rate OF three hundred and sixty
five days to the year, he added a
quarter of day to each year, max
ing one full day in every four years,
which extra day has been assigned
to February, and we call it Febru-
ary 29th. But then it is plain that
Caesar slipped up, because he gave
to every four years forty-four min.
utes and forty one and tifty~two hun
dredths seconds to much, and if that
thug was allowed to go along uu :
corrected, the earth in hundred
years would be nearly twenty hours
ahead OF time. There is an accu-
racy of twenty hours in every CEN
tury, If we allow three hundred and
sixtv-five ard one fourth days to
the year. To correct this. one leap
year day, of February 29th, is
omitted in every centary, and the
particular year fixed upon to be
robbed of its extra day is the CEN
tury year. So. Generally, years
divisible by one hundred are not
leap years. We say generally be
cause, leaving out full year, when
the correction to be made is only
twenty hours, itself works an error
to correct which and bring the
earth up to time again, an allow
ance is ma,!e of one day every four
hundred years. So that the rule
fer leap years may be stated 'hi:
way. Every fourth year is lear
year, except century years; and
every fourth century year is Il LEAP
year. Thus 1900 was leap year
not so 100, 1900 aud 1900. Twc
Thousand will be, as we shall all
find out, if we live to see i'.-Od

THEsWELLING SEA

The birds of the North flew onward,
The lichen its orders shed;
The crescent moon was pale
As water lily-dead-
Torn from its present stem and floating
For weeks on its weary bed
The Northern light burned brightly
The circle was broad aud low;
The rays were like whirling pillars Of hre
With green and crimson glow.
The dying man lay in his hut
ooh, where shall we bury thee?
Shall we bury thee on the mountain,
Or urder the swelling sea?
Shall we bury thee on the mountain
In the eternal snow
Where the spirits of the mists shall dance
While thou liest still belowf
Or wilt thou be sunk in the sea-

The birds of the tempest shall whirl above,
And the seals play merrilv."
