Sun Storms Through A Telescope.

The Providence journal says the great
ire-ball is in intense connection. His
surface is scanned and scared in every
direction with black spots that indicate
the disturbing elements at work in his
chaotic mass. Occasionally, for a day
or two, the blemishes disappear, and
the glorious king Of day shows a face
like q shield of glowing gold. But the
aspect quickly changes; spots come
rushing in all directions and assuming
all forms. They appear singly and in
pairs, and again in groups and rows.
Immense groups break up into small
ones unite to form great chasms, into
which half a dozen worlds might be
dropped and there would still be room
for more. Sometimes the spots are
visible to the naked eye, and at that time
a good opera glass + spy glass will
make them easily perceptible. Hun
dreds of observers all over the world
watch the suns face every clear day, and
keep a record of the number of spots,
their size and the direction in which
they move, for as the sun turns on his
axis they turn with him, some Of them
remaining for months without much
change, some taking ON new forms and
some disappearing entirely. Very little
is known of this mysterious sun or the
spots that are visible more than 10000
600 miles away.
Once in about eleven years the sun
takes on his present sun-spot phase, and
we are approaching the maximum of
disturbance. No one knows the cause.
Some believe that it is the fall of great
masses Of meteoric matter, and some
that it is the result of internal commo-
ton and a rush upward of gaseous X
plosions, in comparison with which our
hercest volcanic eruptions are but the
flicker Of a name. Besides the sun-spot
agitation, the gaseous outbursts are
marked and vivid. The tongues of
flame or rosy protuberances are d%arting
forth in all directions and bearing their
testimany to the solar commotion. Mr..
Trouvelot, of Cambridge, who makes
daily observation of the suns chrome
sphere, gives a graphic description of a
remarkable solar protuberance that he
witnessed on November 16. When first
seen it was large and complicated, ex-
tending upward from the sun about
100, 600 miles. Three or four hours after
it had developed into huge proportions
extending far out into space, and van
ishing gradually to regions where it
could not be perceived. AS nearly as it
could be measured, it reached a hight
of over a quarter of the suns diameter,
or about $4,000 miles. Such a protu-
berance hurled upward from the earth
would almost reach the moon! Two
hours after, the whole structure had
collapsed, and was only about $4,000
miles high. Observations like this give
an idea of the mighty forces at work in
the solar orb, and make observers long
for the time when a satisfactory solution
may be found for this mysterious peri
odical solar disturbance, SO intimately
connected with the meteorological con
ditions of the earth.

Sick-headaches can often be greatly
relieved, and sometimes entirely cured,
by the application of a mustard plaster
at the base of the neck. The plaster
should not be kept ON more than a
quarter of an hour.

SCANDAL MoNGBRS.

The following sound words from
40 exchange should be read and
needed; All good men and women
hold the scandal monger as the
meanest and most degraded of hu'
man creatures. Whether male or
female, the tattler cannot be other
wise than an object of aversion. -
Cold in heart, malignant in mind,
their depraved aud vicious impulses
are the counterpart Of the snake. -
Indeed, by common consent, they
have been named snakes 10 the
grass. Over all that is good and
pure they draw the trail of their
meanness, they deal 10 a currency
that is tainted with shame, misfor>
tune is their delight, and what they
fail TO discover, their minds, trained
to treachery, is quick to invent, :
These social vampires belong to
every community. The moral de-
formity Of their natures makes them
pursue their calling as the hound
follows the slot of the quarry. They
are to be seen 10 every place where
men and women congregate. 10
stores, in offices, in quiet business
circles, but most of oil in society
The social spy ID not an improve
ment on Mrs. Grundy. She tattled
for the love Of gossip; the spy dig

malignity of SANDER. Pale>faced

FILTRATION.

The Augusta News talks to the
point in the following plain and SEM
sible editorial: "Can there be such
q thing as innocent Irritation 7 Is
not Irritation itself essentially wan
ton and prone to evil ? Where is
the young woman who can indis>
crimina.ely pick up beau on the
public highway without degrading
herself and proclaiming reckless
disregard in the rules Of society,
which is the first step to ruin. Chas-
tity is the jewel in a womaus char
acter which is essential to all other
female virtues and she can only re-
tain il BY chastity Of action and
thought.
The very moment she advertises
to the public that her acquaintance
is public property she becomes a
practicable free lover. The least
diversion from the strict part of
propriety and dscorum is dangerous.
People do not generally go to crime
by leaps; they 60 gradually and by
imperceptibIe, and to them, harms
less Emergencies. Young ladies'
should remember that no worthy
young man will encourage Irritation,
and even the unworthy have no re-
spect for the foolish young woman
who recklessly throws herself away.

AN ENEMY TO SOCIETY.

IugersoIl is merely an ignorant
shallow-brained SCOOTER who SCOTS
for a livelihood. Gibbon was an
apostate, but he didn't trade upon
his Apostacy. Hume Was skeptic
bat he did not follow skeptioism - q
trade. Paine was Q foul mouthed
bias phemer, but be did not make
merchandise of bis bitter hatred of
God. There are decent. honorable
skeptics. There are men who hon'
ess.ly dOub. the truth of some OF the
articles Of orthodox creeds. There
are lgood men that have need to
struggle daily against the dominion
of unbelief. There are true men
that have need to be constantly re-
minded that human reason is not the
court of last resort in the domain of
belief. But Ingersoll 10 not an hon
est skeptie. His methods are con-
elusive of the impOssibilisy Of such
being the ease. He trades upon his
disbelief. He makes merchandise
of bis inidelity. He does the Dew
iIs work, like Judas, for silver,
He labors to undermine and destroy
the foundations of christian society
for hire. Shame upon the wretch |!
be blasphemss the name of God for
money There are many men OF
noble impulses and generous hearts
that do not live up to the full meas
ure of their faith in the Almighty +;
but they would sooner die in the
bitterest, most abiecs want than
make a living by sneering at virtue
and accusing their Maker of base
ness. There are men that love
money 90 hOpslessIy, as to be willing
to sacrifice all the finer feelings OF
human nature in order to make 1t
aud keep it; bat, sOiled and scared
as they are, they would not take the
contract for denouncing the Al
mighty, In the presence vi fu~'"
asse mblies, in order, to increase
their illgotteH gains. There are
men that lie and steal and murder
that rob widows and Orphsns--thst
degrade manhood fer below what
should DC it's lowest level but even
these poor wretches, so far removed
beyond the call of mercy or the
touch of pity, would scorn to do
the dirty work Of !ngersoll--either
through the love Of bsssness or
greed for money. There is 40 low
or deep than that in which dwells
the creature that would, at one blow

TEN DOLLARS A WEEK BOARD

this would be an effeCtual bar to all

that the managerial scheme has been

the dogs are recognized as special

courtesies of that class. Four of the
six dogs have special attendants,
