1t is not little remarkable that
intelligent men and women, know
ing by their own observation aud
experience how absolutely neces-
sary to the growth and perfection
of plants and animals light from
the sun is. should fail to draw the
inference as to its needs to human
beings. No man would expect
grass. grain or vegetables to grow
thrifty in darkness, nor even In
shade. 4 little observation shows
that shaded light keeps back
growth and perfection. Under
dense foliage of trees nothing
grows as outside in the broad light,
/ House plants, flowers. and shrubs
are educated to bear light. yet
children are kept from the direct
ravs OF the sun, as for the mos
part women are, and in measure
men also.

BIsMARCK's plan to increase the
strength of the German standing army
is aimed primarily at France. The west
ern frontier of Germany is to be greatly
strengthened in view of the steady in
crease of the French army during the
last few years. France, out of a popu-
Iation of $4,000, 900, has 100000 men in
the active army, 800 in the reserve,
$4,000 in the territorial army and 625,-
600 in the territorial reserve, in all about
100000 men The German Govern
ment has now 4O1 900 men in the active
army, 100000 in the reserve, $50, in
the landwehr and 100000 in the land
sturm, or 2,511 900 in all who have mil
itary training, and there are 3,345,OO
men who have received no military
training. France has ], 1886, 900 men who
have received no training. The Ger
mans excel in cavalry and the French
in artillery. Bismarck, in increasing the
active army of Germany, also, Of course,
has his eye on Russia, whose old policy
of Russianizing the German population
of the Cars Baltic provinces, has been
revived. The repressive measures at
Revel, Riga and elsewhere, have revived
German national feeling, which may not
in vain appeal to Germany, where Bis
marck is bent upon carrying out his pan
Germanic theories and ror sOIidating all
the Teutonic peoples of Europe.

The splendOr Of the 1tid-winter Sky.
tSsv York SUM-

The winter evening slry is now a {
nearly its greatest briIliancy OF the
fifteen first magnitude stars visible in
this latitude twelve can be seen be-
tween z and 10 o'clock o. m. The only
ones not visible within those hours ar5
Arcturus, Antatss, and Epica. This
array of the chief leaders of the frma-
ment furnishes fine opportunity for
study that receives little attention, and
which yet possesses peculiar interest fot
those who delight in the picturesque as.
pect of the starry heavens. To learn to
recognize the leading stars individual
peculiarities by which they can be dis
tinguished from one another; very much
as one distinguishes faces! in crowd, is
perhaps, hardly a scientific pursuit, yet
it is by no mean an idle intellectual
amusement. No better time than the
present could be chosen for this study
of what might be called the physiogs
nomy of the stars. Nobody, for in
stance, could mistake Vega, the bright
star that can be seen in the northwest
early in the evening, for any other in
the sky. Its peculiar color and brill
iancy have been admired by astron-
omers for ages. Over in the east, q
little later, BetelgUese and Rigel, the
chief twinklers II, Orion, t1ay be seen,
with Aldebaran in the Bull shining
high above them. Rigel looks very
much like Vega, yet careful eye de-
tects difference of color. Betelguess
and Aldebaran are at once classed to-
gether as red stars, yet there is tho most
beautiful contrast of hue between them.
Aldebaran is of pale rosy color, and
Betelguese, which varies remarkably y in
brightness, is of a reddish or ange
Nearly overhead, at about 10 o'clock,
is Capella, which seems TO vie in bright
ness with Rigel, yet the two can never
be confOunded; for while Rigel blazes
and scintillates, like diamond shaken
in the sunlight, Capella shines with a
steady, unchanging luster that makes it
one of the most beautiful of all the
stars. Sirius, which rises shortly after
Rigel, is distinguished by his superior
size, and by the ceaselsss flashing of
prismatic colors, surrounding him with
q sort of halo well becoming the chief
of all the stars.
Whoever has once learned to know
these stars, as he knows the faces of his
friends, may wander to every corner of
the world without losing the feeling
that he is vet at home.

Arnber.Cane Sugar.

The Missouri Republican says There
was recently shipped frcm Crystal Lake,
ILL.,, carload of sugar made from am
Der cane. This was to be followed by
another in few days, making not far
from twenty tons as the result of the
first experiment in sugar making in that
locality. The product is described as
being light in color with a delicate
orange tinge. 1t had also a peculiar lus-
ter, and the grain was bright and spark
ling" The gentlemen who visited the
factory reports that the proprietor of
the hotel went to his store-room and
brought out fair sample of yellow c.
coffee sugar, and the two were compared
side by side. The odds were found to
be greatly in favor of the amber sugar.
It was much lighter and brighter, and
beside it the yellow 'C looked dark,
dingy, guinmy and lusterless." Gen.
Le Due, who has just visited the factory,
and from whom the information relative
to the shipment has been gained, says
g that the proprietors inform him that
there is Sd much enthusiasm among
farmers regarding this new industry
that there win be 10000 acres Of the
early amber cane planted in that local.
ity next year" The factory is well pro-
yided with every essential for making
suQar. the same as the refinery at Fari-
bault, and viii next year, it is thought,
be running so smoothly as to turn out q
carload Of sugar every two days,

On one occasion Californian being re-
ceived by Mr.. Carlyle, with his habitual
denunciation of the great Republic,
endured it calmly to the end, and then
observed: "Go ahead, Mr.. Carlyle. |

smiled grimly by way of response, and
to have said afterWard that the Cali

80 Don. Pedro II. RaiIroad IS 81,

THE Dom Pedro II. Railroad is the
largest and, with perhaps one exception,
the most important in Brazil. The total
length of the main line is 800 miles, and
extensions are made almost every year.
The road was commenced under the man
agement of an incorporated company
interest of z per cent. on the capital
stock being guaranteed by the govern
ment But in building the first portion
of the road it was necessary to cross the
mountains near Rio, and by the time 100
miles were completed, the capital was
entirely exhausted. In 1865 the govern
ment bought the road of the stockhold-
ers and it has since been built and run
as branch Of the imperial service. On
the invested capital of rather more than
$40,000,000 the government realizes an
average income of five and a half per
centUm yearly.

Attempted Suicide Of a Modern Juliet.

Bellefontaine, Ohio, some time since,
furnished case of genuine love-lorn
maiden-a schoolgirl of 15 years,
who fell desperately in, love with youth
of about the same age. They quarreled
over a matter, but did not kiss and
make up after the customary manner OF
lovers. When they met the next morn
ing the boy declined to meet the friendly
advances of the young lady halfway,
but sullenly refused to speak to her at
all. A short time after she wrote him
note, saying that unless he forgave her
she would kill herself. The youth, it
appears, had retired from the Romeo
business entirely, and replied by simply
telling her to go on with her killing and
he would pay the funeral expenses,
whereupon she commenced by swallow
ing the contents of her ink bottle, which
made her very sick. She then tried
red ink with no better result. The next
move was to procure rope and repair
to an outbuildiDg f)r the purpose or
hanging herself, but some schoolmates
discovered her and thwarted her de-
signs. She then went home and tried to
cut her throat with d pocket-knife, and
actually succeeded in cutting quite a
cash in her neck. The youth has not
relented. The names of both parties
are suppressed owing to their promi-
nence,

been pitching into you?"
Pitching into me? Great Caesar,
[ should think it had. But you just
let me meet the editor of that paper"
"You never make anything by

grin and bear it.
''Yes, that's all right for you to say,
butjust let me meet that man! I'll show
him how to run a newspaper" I'll

What did he do?"
do! He did a deal. Here's how
it is: | often go to Springfield in the
evening, and come home on the first
train in the morning. Well, one
night I met an ID crony and we went
to the music ilall and the theater.
When we came out we met some
friends. OF course | could not get
right out, so | treated; in fact, we
were having pretty good time, when
some fellow came in and tried to raise
row. In less than no time the po-
lice were in and had us. The next
morning / was hauled before the court
and fined $40. [ did not care much
because | gave a false name and |
knew my wife couldn't find it out;
but the very next morning I'll be
eternally confused if that paper didn't
have all in and my name too"
did your wife see it?"
81 should say she did"
did she make fuss?"
Fuss! Godfrey Elihu! Are you
married?"
