remarked to his wife that he'd give $50
to any one that would hit him q tre-
mendOus thump on it suddenly without
expecting it, to see II it wouldn't burst

turned his jaw mp and pointed to the

The Star CAMILLA.

The star Capella seems to be earning
the title of the Comet Pointer. 1t was
used a few weeks ago to indicate where
the comet that suddenly blazed out In
the northeast was to be seen, and now
it serves as q sky mark to show the
place of the new comet that is just
coming into sight. Capella has been
the usher for big comets before. The
star is very interesting on other &C
counts. 1t is one of the suns that re-
semble our own sun in constitution,
but Capella, placed at the distance u
sun is from the earth, would appear al
most unendurably brilliant, while the
sun. with its fiery girth Of more than
$500, 900 miles, would look like a pig
my in comparison. Capella seems to
be slowly growing brighter. Il Is gen.
orally ranked as the second star in the
northern hemisphere, Arcturus alonu
exceeding it in splendor. It seems to
have changed color, like Sirius. Some
of the ancient sky-gazers. and n as
late as the tenth century, describe it as
red. Now its light is brilliant, creamy
white. In mythology Capella repre-
sents the sacred goat Of Jove.

The yellow" Russians.

The use of the cpithet yellow" as
applied to the Russians is common to
all tho nations Of Western and Centr nj
Asia. Mussulman writer's designate
the Russians by the title of "Beni III
Asfar," ''Sons Of Y~ellowness." Byron
had no doubt heard this cpithet used by
the Turks when he wrote the lines in
''Childe Harold"
Ozark Muchiar, his son, to the Danube has
sped.
Let the yellow-hairca Giaurs view his horse
tails with dread!'
The a%ppellation appears to be one of
very long standing, too. for the Persian
poet Miami, who wrote in the thir-
teenth century of our era, speaks OF
''Saudai Hind o Safrai Rus" ("The
blackness of India and the yellOwness
Of Russia') Orientals always speak of
the Western European nations by the
general appellation of "Farangs." or
Franks, but they do not include the
Russians among the Farangis. They
call them Roos. which the illiterate
have corrupted into Ocroos; the o.
manlis also call them '.MuskOob,"
''MuscOvite;" but l have never heard
this word used by any other Easterns.
The English are reckoned as a Ferangi
nation. OF course. Oriental ideas on
the subject Of geography and etiinol-
ogy are very vague. Tho writer's speak
of 1.-THE v inlidel Kingdoms of tho
Farang," which has been supposed by
some TO indicate the seven Electors of
the old German Empire, but is proba-
bly, a mere general expression. like 9TH
ers in use among them, such as the sew
en- heavens, the seven seas, the seven
climes, etc. The epithet ''kara" (black)
is a very common one among all the
Turkish speaking races. and is gener-
ally used in a flattcring sense-ano olive
complexion, with raven hair. being the
favorite Turkish type OF beauty. Hence
remarkable handsome men are often
called ''Kara Osman. "''Kara Mustafa,"
Black Osman or Mustafa. l have nev-
err heard the epithct applied to Euro
peans; but the Turcomans have prob
ably adopted it with reference to the
English simply as an antithcsis to the
yellowness Of the Russians. - Cor. Lon
