Increased attention 10 the laws Of
health has considerably reduced the

years. The chief sanitary evil Of the
metropolis now Is an impure water

Experiments with the solar engine
are yet being made by n. Mouchot in
Algeria. With 4 C mirror twelve
feet In diameter he concentrates the
heat Of the sun upon a small boiler,
within which he obtains q steam pres

Common sense, " says Pref. Huxley,
sis science exactly 70 far Is IL fulhlls
the ideal Of common sense; that Is, sees
facts rs they are, or at any rate with
out the distortion Of prejudice. and rea-
sons from them In accordance with the
dictates Of sound Judgment. Aud sci
n Is simply common ems at Its best;
that is, rigidly accurate in observation,
and merciless 10 fallacy in logic"
A few years ago astronomers wit
messed two remarkable appearances.
In 1865 a tenth magnitude star in the
constellation OF the Northern Crown
suddenly shone a. a second magnitude;
and In 1876 a new star became visible
In the constellation Cygnus, subse-
quently fading 50 as TO DO only percep-
tible by means OF n telescope. Like all
others, these stars are doubtless great
suns, glowing with intense heat and
constantly ~convulscd by the most pro-
digious internal commotion. Proctor,
In his latest work, considers the effect
Of n change In our own sun such as was
witnessed In the case OF each OF these
two stars. The star In the Northern
Crown shone with more than eight hun
dred times its former luster; while the
star In Cygnus became, perhaps, thou
sands Of times rs brilliant as before.
Now, IL our sun were to increase even
tenfold in brightness, all the higher
forms Of animal life and nearly all the
forms Of vegetable life on the earth
would PROFESSIONALLY be destroyed.
An authority on ~horsemanship says
that II Is a folly for a lady to put her
self into stays so tight that her figure is
not flexible while she Is on horseback.
A stuffed doll, he says, should never be
put oil q horse, nor any woman who is
not 90 loosely dressed that she can lace
her own boots and put up her W back
hair. While the lady Is on horseback
the circulation OF her blood should
never be impeded.
Mr.. Adams, OF Van Schaick Island,
N. Y, Is the possessor a bay horse and
black Newfoundland dog, who have
formed a wonderful attachment for
each other. They are in separable CON-
panions, and one Is not easy IL the other
Is out Of its sight for amoment. Whet-
her in the stable or the pasture, the dog
sleeps with his equine friend. II the
horse is harnessed the dog is OF the alert
and follows wherever driven, and when
the horse stops the dog Is close at his
head, and 1t is q pleasure TO witness
them exchange caresses. The horse
will scratch the dogs back with his
teeth, which delights him greatly, and
In return the horses face gets a thor
ough smoothing from the tongue Of the
dog. Sometimes In sport the horse will
seize the dog by the nape OF the neck
with his teeth and raise him In the air,
but the dog does not whimper, but re-
taliates by watching his opportunity to
give the ear Of the horse q pinch with
his teeth. They will fight for each 9TH
er wickedly. II the dog is attacked by
other CANNES he seeks shelter under the
horse, and the teeth and feet of that
animal are active In his defense. What
the result will be II one Of these devoted
friends should die before the other Is q
matter Of some concern to the owner,
who values both very highly.
