Distressing Effects Of Perihelions.

Astronomers tell us that remarka-
BILE opposition is taking place among
the more influential planets of our sys-
tenn. In other words, they are rang
ing themselves on either side of the sun
in such a manner that a straight rod of
sufficient length could be passed
through their centers and that of the sun.
Whoever remembers that implement
in the schools consisting of wooden
frame with parallel wires stretched
wooden balls, the whole intended as
help in teaching children to count, will
understand the coming planetary situa.
ton. Let half dozen of those balls
stand for the planets and let the wire
be imagined, and we have the idea.
Such an arrangement, the astronomers
say, has not occurred for eighteen hum
dred years, and that serious disturb
ances of all forms of matter and mind
may be looked for as the outcome of it.
Mr.. Richard Proctor, who has never
been known to exaggerate, gives in his
adhesion to the total programme.
These planets, when once drawn up on
the celestial parade ground, will be in

its nearest point to the sun. Contemp-
lating this fact with that enlargement
of view superinduced by science start
ling thought strikes us. There is no
further need of our looking for the
cause of the calamities, crimes and
deliberations that have come upon the
community like a swarm of unregener-
ate Jersey mosquitoes. The unexam-
pied hot weather is due to these perihel-
ions. The Narragansett and Stoning-
ton rushed into each other, not on ac-
count Of the fog or the stupidity of
their officers but were hurled at one an
other by the perihelions. We need not
further expand this immense and over
whelming idea It throws light on all
existing mysteries, and sets the puzzled
philosophers on their legs. As a theory
for courts, juries and counsel for the
defense, it is invaluable. Is virtuous
citizen accused of theft, burglary or
murder? The lawyers will not require
to tax their already overdrawn store of
special pleas to shunt him clear of JUS
tice. They won't have to call it self
defense, or even emotional insanity.
Set it all down to the perihelion. LOG
ic is logic" said DIR. Holmes, in az
counting for the spontaneous dissolu-
ton of the Deacon's "One-Hoss Shay"
and science is science.-N. Y. Graphic.

At the close of course of lectures at Bur-
lington lately, Prof. Tice was taken suddenly
and alarningly i'll with Neuralgia of the
chest, his pulse falling from 80 to IS, and
physicians failed to relieve him. Thinking of
st. Jacobs Oil, the professor ordered it to be
applied on flannel and was instantaneously re-
lieved; in one hour the pain was gone, and
he left for his home in st. Louis.

JOHN STEELE, the Z" Coal Oil johnny
whose astounding prodigality made him
notorious throughout the country, is
now q well-behaved and reasonably
prosperous farmer at Franklin, Pa. It
was in 1864, when he was just twenty
one, that the striking of oil on farm
that he had inherited began to yield
him an income of $1,000 q day. This
wealth turned his foolish head, and he
began to spend the money in the most
reckless and grotesque manner. He
squandered all his property in three
years. His wife had managed to get
hold of $75, 900, but that was lost in =
bank failure. Steele gradually came to
his senses, went to work at his old oc-
cupation of teamster, next became a
railroad baggage master, and slowly
saved enough money to buy the farm
on which he now lives.

In China the names of children are
given according to circumstances asso-
ciated with the time of their birth. If
q child is born at midnight, its name
may be Midnight; if the season be
rainy, the child's name may be Rain; if
the birth occurs on the birthday of some
relative. that relatives age may be the
name of the newborn, and so there are
names of Thirty, Five, Fifty, One, and
other numbers. But there are even
more curious names. If the parents
desired boy, and girl is born, her
name may be Ought-to-a-Boy.
HARTMANN, of Berlin, is the animal
king of the world, and he collects more
wild beasts and supplies more menag-
cries, probably, than any man living.
His animals are mostly collected by
young students of zoology, who enlist
in amateur brigades under his command,
or by trained hunters. A showman can
get the great serpents of the Andes and
Amazon cheaper from Hartmann than
he can from their native country, and
the same may be said of almost every
other species of wild animal.

Certainly, she is. When 1 married
her five years ago." said Mr.. TAYLOR,
"she was the one woman in all the
world for me, and | have never changed
my opinion regarding her."
"Sensitive?" asked Fred again,
briefly.
Eyes, rather. Why?''
"Only this, 1 have been trying lately
to show my appreciation and love for
Kate in the same manner that you show
yours for Dora.''
81 don't understand you," said Mr..
Taylor, stiffiy.
"Nor l you" retorted Fred. "You
say you have good wife and that YOU
love her as we'll as you did five wears
ago; yet you constantly find fault with
her; SO much that Kate noticed it and
suggested that initiate your manners
and let you see how you admired it."
You don't mean to sayr'
81 do mean to say that have copied
your manner faithfully, and as much as
possible literally"
Mr.. Taylor walked hastily forward
some distance in advance of his friend.
He was mortified and angry, but Just
enough to own after due reflection that
Fred's words were true and justifiable.
He had taken Fred to task for what
was but copy of his own manner. 1t
will seem strange, but Mr.. Taylor had
never considered himself q fault-fi finder.
True it is that "men are more apt to
use s:ectacles, to behold other mem
faults, than looking glasses, to behold
their own" At last he waited and
Fred caught up with him.
Is this truep" he asked.
Eyes. my dear fellow" said Fred,
"you found fault with Dora almost con-
arrival"
