What the Eclipse Proved.

Editor CdledOnidn For the purpose
of solving some questions in my own
mind, closely calculated from Fer
guson's tables as regulated by Vose
for the latitude of Washington, the
eclipse of June ll-l2, for the latitude
of st. Johnsbury. also equated sun
time to true clock time, and then by
observation, with a small glass it is
true), verified the calculation.
The result was extremely satisfac-
tory, the ingress and egress, conse-
quently the middle of the eclipse, or
true time of full moon, occurring by
observation precisely as calculated,
which demonstrated to my mind
the fact that seems to be incOntrOver-
table, that not the shadow of Il change
has occurred in the reLdtiUe position of
the three great bodies in which we, as
terrestrial inhabitants, are interested,
that is the sun, earth and moon, sen
sationalists to the contrary nOtwith-
standing.
1t has been unhesitatingly stated
that the sun has been drawn 70O,OOt
miles ont of its former position, caus-

yet to be more remarkable summer
} Had such statement been n true one

June 18th, 1881.
| wonder if people i'll civilized
country who grumble at the hardness
of the "penny post" or indulge in ex-
carnations of impatience if they are
obliged to wait five minutes at the post
office for the assortment of the mail
| say wonder if they ever think of the
immense labor and danger experienced
i'll transporting the mails to some of
the mining towns and out-Of-the-way
places Oh our western frontier.
The mails on the overland stage
routes are comparatively regular and
safe, but the thousand and one branch
es radiating from these routes are often
times simply trails leading to some
mining town far up in the mountains,
over which no animal but Il sure-footed
pony can travel. Over these trails,
mounted on fleet Mustang ponies, ride
the post boys carrying the mails to and
from these busy, smoky little towns
nestled in some lonely gulch far up i'll
the "Rocky range" To some places
the mails are delivered weekly,
to some weekly, and to some monthly,
according to the size and importance
of the place and its distance from the
main line. On long routes, where
several riders are employed, each one
has his 'stage" or "run" to ride over
usually about thirty miles, and he is
expected to make it in four hours, de
liver his mail to the next rider, lay of
three hours, take his return mail anC
ride back in four hours. Each rider
and pony thus gets sixty miles ride
and then lays off until the next day
The post rider must necessarily be &
light weight, not over l30 lbs, quick
alert, and plucky, for he will have
many difficulties and dangers to en-
counter, requiring nerve and gOO'

A year and half passed away, dur
ing which, owing to his frequent alb
sences and Miss Lorinda's watchful
care, Dolly and her lover had met but
three or four times. 'It's hard" said
the young man, on the last of these
occasions, "to know that can not ask
your aunt for your hand because |

"Dan," interrupted the girl, with
dewy eyes, "it isn't her anger-thOugh

in me to provoke it-but the promise
my mother made for me on her death

promise, Dan, you must remember,

orphan asylum, and we would never
have met" Adding, the sunshine
coming back again, "Don't you see

Old Country Suspiciens.
youths Compsnioa.J

The country people Of England are
suspicious Of what they do not fully un-
derstand. An amusing illustration Of
this habit was given to the rector Of a
parish in Sussex, on the occasion Of his
marriage.
His parishionen were kind enough to
make him q handsome present, the sum
being made up by subscription. Some
time afterwards, he was surprised and
amused to learn that current criti-
cism said it was ca curious thing that
our parson couldn't get married without
sending the hat round for money to pay
his wedding expenses"
The parson, being wise man, deduced
from the criticism an additional argu.
ment for the utmost publicity in all
money matters in which he and the par
ish were both interested.
"Ah, ma'am," said an incredulous
cottager TO q lady, district visitor, "my
son has been up to the North Pole; he
tells me some things that ] really can't
believe, though he Is my son. He tells
me, ma am, that be has seen with his own
eyes ice bugs as big ss church"
The story may recall one which
went through the papers some years
ago. An old woman, who united credul-
ity and incredulity in her habits OF
thought, had sailor son. Once, when
home from q voyage, ne told his mother
of the flying fish be had seen. 'Tom,"
neyer aae 'bPaasai bpousi. ] you up 70 teiI lies. ~
"Well, mother" said the graceleM
rogue, knowing the old lady's habit Of
mind. eve once anchored in the Re<i
Sea. The next day, ON hauling up the
anchor, we found it unusually heavy.
Judge of our surprise, when We got it
above water, to see hanging from one of
the fiukes one Of Pharaoh's chariot
wheels" .
"There, can believe that, ny son,
for the Bible tells u Ill about hat
wicked king being drowned Ia the Red
Sea; but don't tell your mother any Hes
about flying fish, for she won't believe
such stuff"
A more singular instance Of pervesity
in belief was that related Of DIR. johnson,
who. when informed of the awful Lisbon
earthquake, pooh-poohed at it - absurd
but he firmly believed in the Cock-lane
ghost story.
But Dr.. johnson, for . man Of learn.
ing, was remarkably superstitious; and
it Is peculiarity Of such people 70 dis
believe the causes Of ordinary natural
phenomena, while they have no hesita.
tion in giving credence TO the widest
stories oil supernatural character. II ID
for this reason, in q great measure, that
what is called "SpirituAlism" has de-
veloped 50 largely in modern times. IL
believers are mostly amelg people d

Reluctance to Inflict Capital
Punishment.

From official statistics recently col
lected and printed in a special paper by
the Howard Association it would appear
that there is a special difficulty in
enforcing the extreme penalty Of the
law, and they give the following ex-
amples:
In Australia, during the decade 1870
70, there were sentenced to death for
murder SO6 persons, of whom only 16
were executed; in France, during the
same decade, 1913 persons were sentenced
to death for murder, of whom 90, or
less than half, were executed; in Spain,
decade 1868 to 1877 --latest return), 291
were sentenced to death and 126 exc
cuted; in Sweden (1s69-1s7S) 80 were
sentenced to death, only three were
executed; in Norway (1867-l87S), IA
were sentenced to death, only three
were executed; in Denmark {1868-1877)
"a were sentenced to death for murder,
only one was executed; in Bavaria
(1870-1879), 249 were committed for
murder, seven were executed; in Italy
there were. about 1000 homicides pei
annum, followed by very few executions
or other severe punishments; in Ger
many (North), during the decade 1869
78, 1901 persons were convicted OF
homicidal crime, of whom 484 were
sentenced to death, and one executed
(HodeD; in the United States about
$500 murders per annum were com.
mitted, with about 100 executions and
100 olynehinps ner anntlm
The "iynchings" occur almost exclu.
siveIy in the states which retain capital
punishment by law. In Australia and
New Zealand during a recent decade
there were 453 sentences to death. fol-
lowed by 1913 executions.
With respect to England and Wales
in the 80 years 1850 to 1879 inclusive
there were zoos persons committed fol
trial for wilful murder, of whom 66s
t33 per centum) were convicted, and
872 19 per centum) were executed
The proportion of convictions IN Eng
land for non capital crimes averaged
76 per centum, showing, it was argued
how much easier il was to secure con.
viction and punishment where the ir.
revocable penalty did not interpose III
peculiar difficulties.
| In Ireland during the last 20 year
66 were sentenced to death, and 81
(64 per centum) executed; and in Scot
land during the same 20 years 40 wer,
sentenced to death, and Is (nearly 8,
per ceutum) executed.
The association further shows that dur
ing the LAST Is years most Of the seriou
crimes of this country have material,
diminished, and especially those which
we're formerly capital. In respect o
countries which have abolished capita
punishment it is said that "experienc
now extending over many years show
this result in generAl-that wheseve
the capital penalty has been substitute
by a severe secondary. punishment, en-
forced with comparative certainty am
under common sense conditions, mur
ders have not increased, but the cer
