Mexican WOrshIn.

OF the whole system of Mexican worship
by far the most prominent feature was its
astounding ferOoity. II was drenohed in
every part with human blood. Its priests
were an army of sturdy butchers, whose
highest function was to oleave the victims
breast with the sacrfoial hatohet and pluck
out his palpitaling heart its devotees We're
cannibals who deyoured the victims flesh in
sacramental feast, and, like the priests of
Baal, cut themselves with knives and
lancets. Each month had its festivals
of slaughter, and in the capital alone
10000 human victims are said to have been
annually offered. From slaves and crimi-
nails from prisoners captured in wars un-
dertaken for the purpose, from troops of
children purchased Tor sacrifice, was the
CHASTITY death-oontingent continually re-
oruited. Some were fatted in the sacred
cages, others loaded with hOnors and stated
with sensual delights to make them the
more acceptable offerings some persisted ON
the altar by the fatal stroke of the priest,
others in the mockery of gladiatorial COM
bat some were ilayed alive, others flung
headlong into mountain whirlpools and
lakes. Never was superstition SO sckening
With intolerable horrors.-BldckWood' Mag

There is no doubt whatever that the rela-
tive price of champagne TO that of other
sparkling wines does not unfairly represent
its comparative merits, To begin with all other
sparkling wines are comparative novelties,
and there is nothing that so depends ON old
practice and traditional skill as the making
of good wine. Sparkling wines are now to
be obtained at every conceivable price, from
a guinea dozen or Whereabouts upward.
There is the enormous production of the
Loire district, which seems 10 he greedily
enough consumed by those who like it, and
against which there is nothing to be said as
far as wholesomeness goes. But in respect
to flavor, no one who knows what wine is
would dream of comparing even the best
Saumur or Vouvray with a moderate cham
payne, There is sparkling burgundy and
il may be observed that sparkling burgundy
| (white, not red, for red sparkling wines,
| except as an occasional curiosity, are rather
| mistakel is the nearest approach TO cham
payne. But nearly all sparkling burgundy,
and still more that excellent southern
growth, ST. P6ray has the defect OF being too
strong, Wine that sparkles Is intended TO
| be drunk, not sipped and considerable eau
ton is required in drinking sparkling bur
gundy, which, however, let IL be repeated,
is the best substitute, at about thTee.fouTths
Rhine and moselle wines everybody knows.
At their very best they are good, but they
are not cheap; you may get, ii you take a
little care, far better champagne for less
money, Besides, the peculiar ilowery flavor
which is the charm of hook and moselle al
most invariably becomes pommadish in
character in the process of manufacture into
ON mtuSSaUr. The remarkable freshness and
cleanness OF taste which are the chief charms
of champagne are absent As for misoella-
neous sparkling wines, such as those of
Italy, Hungary, the Jura, etc, they need not
be seriously mentioned. Except the mex
perienoed burglar, who, having made way
with a dozen or so OF champagne, said, " 1t
was like ginger-beer, but not so good" no
one would think of denying that the arith-
metical relation OF the price of these wines
to that of champagne is reasonable enough.

Luck.

Since Weed became entangled in poker
game and lost 100000 down the Hudson
River recently, all of the old players have
been showing their hands and making open
confessions of their sins. An 0gdensburg
sport remarked the other day: Speaking
of that big game of poker reminds me of a
little Job which did not work some of us fell
lows put up on man from Canton. lie
used to come out here every little while and
get drunk. lie had money, and was ready
TO play at such times. One of the boys
fixed the cards so as to give him three
queens and pair of mines. He gave one of
the other boys four jacks. The old man
was so drunk that he did not notice the pair
and drew two more cards, and as luck would
have it got the other queen. The boys
thought they knew how matters stood and
began to bet. The old man had the most
money, and raised the bet of the man who
held the four jacks every time. The latter
sure of the game, borrowed all the money
the other fellows had and put it up. Fl
| nally the old man called him and showed W
the four queens. You just bet there was a
demoralized crowd. The old man scooped in
the cash, and that game was never tried on
again. - UtCd Observer.

Astronomy has shown that many of the
double stars which stud the heavens are
really systems ofworlds liz up with two suus
emitting differently colored rays Of light, and
revolving around their common centre Of
gravity. Referring to the planets which
must be connected with such system, Mr..
w. Doberck remarks i'm Nature: When we
reflect upon the complicated nature Of thu
orbits, which the planets and comets
describe round our sun, we get some
idea Of how remarkable must be
the nature OF those curves that
planets describe round double suns. Per
haps the same comets that disappear TO our
gaze leaving the sphere Of attraction of the
sun, are attracted, and for time become
members of those wonderful systems. Our
mathematics do not suffice for solving the
problems that are suggested, but il is not
unlikely that unless situated very close to
one or other of the suns-so close that the
other appears not much larger than a star,
though comparable in brightness to the near
est sun-the planets are whirled out in the
space by the gravitational influence Of the
other sun, a. very likely many a minor
planet was elected from the solar system un-
der the influence Of Jupiter. What must be-
the nature Of those worlds illuminated by
two different suns, one yellow aud another
purple Now rises the one, aud all is
clothed in yellow; now the other, and illu.
mined from complementary sources, every
object appears in its natural color. Then
sets the yellow sun, and what must he the

here, except perhaps for moons rejecting
light from the differently colored suns. Not
only the play of color must there he more
varied than here, but phenomena of which
we have not the faintest idea must be pro-
duced also through the action of heat, cleo
tricity, and magnetism. Indeed, upon sub.
iects like these science gives no information,
and we may therefore give our fancy free
reins.
