TIE COMING COMET.

Everybody tho can command the
use of telescope ought TO get ons
look at the new comet before it te-
comes visible to Ike naked eye. 1t
is a sight 10 be remembered, especial
" if the comet should make great
display within two months as the as
tronomels predict it will. Remem-
beriug that this gives promise of be-
ing one of the grapdeat comets ever
seen, it is interesting to LOOK at in
its haywood. It is far from possess
ing anything imposieg in its appear
ance. Tho inexperienced obserser
has to look twice before seeing it at
all, especially if the telescope be is
using he Of small aperture. Yet
anybody can see that il is an infant
Hercules. II has a head like etar,
compact and brilliant, and it trails
behind it in its million miles day
fight q little, straight, bright tail,
bigger alreadv away out there in
space than most comets are able to
display in their perihelion.
Looking at this little comet in the
telescope, it is difficult to realize its
power and possibilities, or compre-
bend tho speed with which it is dart
ing toward the sun.
The latter measures confirms the
first calculations that The comet will
go extraordinarily close to the sun.
No astronomer has succeeded in ideu-
tifyiug it with any previous comet,
and it is probable that this is its first
visit to ths solar system, at least since
men Lave made records of celestial
phenomena, Tt is not Impossible
that it last exhibited the clories Of
its train to the inhabitants of the
worlds revolving around somo blatant
fixed star. The question is frequently
asked: How large will tie comet
be?" 1t is impossible to say more
than that, Judging from the bright
ness Of its nucleus and the present
rate Of increase in the size of ita
tail, it ought to be a more brilliant
comet than that Of last summer.
But nobody can promise that it
will be, because the nature of comets
and tie laws that govern the devel-
opmant of their tails are not well
enough understood TO enable astron-
omeIs 10 make positive predictions
concerning their appearance.
This comets position when nearing
the SIM will not DO such as to give US
the besS view Of its tail. The comet Of
1858, like this cue, was watched from
tie that it appeared as q faint
object in the telescope until, hanging
in the western heavens, it seemel to
span half the arch oil the sky, making
tie autumn evenings brilliant with
it's hgat. BY the lst of May this
comet should be conspicuous to the
naked eye.--New York SAn.

Pianos.

A piano should be tuned at least four
times in the year by an experienced tuner.
If you allow it to 90 too long without
tuning. 1t usually becomes fiat. and
troubles tuner to get it to stay at tuning
pitch. especially in the country. Never
place the instrument against an outside
wall. or in cold, damp room; there is
no greater enemy to piano than damp.
Close the instrument Immediately after
you practice; by leaving topen dust fixes
on the sound-board and corrodes the
movements, and if in damp room the
strings soon rust. Should the piano stand
near or opposite a window, guard, if pos
sible. against its being opened. especially
Oh wet or damp day and when the sun
is on the window, draw the blind down.
Avoid putting metallic or other articles on
or in the piano; such things frequently
cause unpleasant vibrations. and some-
times injure the instrument. The more
equal the temperature of the room, the
better the instrument will remain in tune.

Removal of Grease Spots.

Fatty oils have greater surface tension
than oil of turpentine. benzole or ether.
Hence. If grease spot on piece of cloth
be moistened on the reverse side with one
of these solvents. the tension on the greasy
side is larger. and therefore the mixture
of beazole and fat or grease will tend to
move toward the main grease spot Ii we
were to moisten the centre of this spot
with benzole, we should not remove it.
but drive the grease upon the clean por-
ton of the cloth, 1t is. therefore. neces-
sary to distribute the benzole first over
circle surrounding the grease spot. to APP
proach the grease gradually, and at the
same time having blotting paper in con-
tact with the spot to absorb the fat inn
mediately Another method. namely, to
apply hot iron on one side, while blot
ting paper Is applied to the other, depends
upon the fact that the surface tension to a
substance dminishes with rise of temper
ature. If. therefore. the temperature ut
different portions or sides of the cloth is
different. the fat acquires tendency to
move from the hotter parts toward the
cooler.-The Pharmacist.

a peck of dried apples. They were
all stuck together in n lump, but got 'em
jammed into the pot, poured in some
water and started the fire. Presently
few Of 'em began to rise up-to the top OF
the pot, so skinned 'em of and put 'em
in pan. Pretty soon some more bulged
up, and ! skinned them of and put EN-
