The Transit of Venus.

Demorest's Monthly.
This event, which is to take place in Decem-
Der next, is attracting unusual attention to our
neighboring planet, which is now so conspicu-
GUS an object in the evening sky. Venus is
nearly as large as the earth, and like our planet
travels around the sun continually, but makes
its annual revolution in seven and half
Of our months. Each of its four seasons,
therefore, lasts eight weeks Venus is SO near
the sun that if it is inhabited it must be by be-
ings that can stand a continuous heat double
that of this earth Venus is surrounded by an
atmosphere filed with moisture, and must be
much more cloudy than is the sky Of this
earth 1t undoubtedly has continents, islands,
oceans, and rivers. It must have some forms
of life, for where there is heat and moisture
there must be vegetable growth, and in all
probability some of the lower forms of insect
life. The coming transit is an interesting
event, and astronomers everywhere are getting
ready to witness it from every point Of view
possible on this earth.

WOIseIey's Goodness on the Battle
field.
London World.
ALI accounts are agreed as to Sir Garnegs
lemeanor before and after the fight His cool
Aess and self-reliance were extraordinary. On
the morning before the battle, when he took
all the generals and their respective stats to
reconnoitre the enemy s lines, he dismounted
within couple miles of Tel-el-Kebir, and,
grthering the others around him, explained
exactly what he meant to do With short
stick he pointed to the intrenehments as be
might to blackboard in lecture-room, and
quietly indicated in turns the positions of each
part of the attacking force He had the whole
thing off by heart, knew ard explained In exact
detail what each regiment had to do. While
they were thus occupied, protected only by
small cavalry escort, the enemy sent out
party to observe them, but made no further
demonstration WOleseley's lecture fir
ished, they all remounted and rode back 70
camp.
After the battle was practically won, Dir
Garnet came to the bridge across the canal
communicating the right with the left attack,
and, getting off his horse, quietly began to
write his Telegram announcing the victory on
scrap of paper handed to him by one Of his
staff. Here, too, he received the reports from
the various staff officers Of divisions and bri-
gades, asking more particularly as to casual
ties. @Are you quite sure?" he always said
sDon't give me wrong figures Don't men
ton any officers name unless you are quite
quite positive he is hit" All this time he was
giving orders right and left, row to one staff
officer, now to another, and through it all,
confusing and embarrassing as the situation
might well have been, was perfectly quiet and

Floating spccks in the Eye.

Many persons are troubled with such specks,
called by the doctors "musc@ volitantes" fit
ting flies. They pass across the vision while
one is reading, or rise when the eye is turned
quickly upward, to descend slowly again as
the eye resumes its ordinary position. They
are always in motion. H3
Notwithstanding their name of @fies,D they
generally appear as minute beads, or strings
Of beads, or bits of thread, or transparent
globules When one attempts to hold them
before his direct vision, they Immediately float

People who are subject to them often suffer
from needles fears on their account But

Success ON the stage.
Joe Jefferson.


1t is asked, what are the qualifications that
one should possess to become a successful
actor or actress: This is difficult question
to answer. What would be the reply of a
scientist if you were to ask him what were
the qualifications necessary to become sue
cessful astronomer, or great naturalist?
fancy see the old gentleman now He re-
moves his spectacles, and, thoughtfully rub
bling his nose looks at the questioner as if he
were a long way off. He says swell, really,
Il Dear me, will you just say that over
again." You repeat the query. "Well," he
says, perhaps Unborn ability may be of some
service; and then | should think that great
love, even a passion for such calling, might
be valuable; but even these advantages, and
great many more that can't think OF, will be
of very little use unless they are joined to
earnestness and industry,
Now, l would say that, in addition to these
qualities, to make successful actor, one must
be gifted with sensibility, imagination and per-
sonal magnetism. The art must be commenced
at the foundation, or the superstructure can
scarcely stand The student should be CON
tent to enter upon the lower walks of the pro-
fessOn, and this is his first stumbling block,
because the lower positions are enormously
considered to be degrading.
The study of gesture and elocution, if taken
in homeopathic doses and with great care, may
be of service; but great effects can only be
produced by great feeling, and, if the feeling
be true and intense, the gesture and the elocu-
ton must obey it 1t is safer, however, to
study gesture and elocution than to study
nothing Better be pedantic and mechanical
than indefinite and careless.
The actor must show his generalship and
meet the foe Instead, therefore, of beginning
work in timid, inane and Indifferent way, he
should use precision, strength, articulation
and force even beyond the requirements of
dence of the audience, and, through this, their
attention

Editorial Rooms.
Denver Tribune.


The scene representing an editorial-room
difficulty in Milton Mobiles play of @Inter-
views" is very funny, but it is greatly exag-
gerated The popular impression that an edi-
torial-room is constant battle-ground, that
the editors are being necessarily bounded for
copy, that indignant subscribers rush in with
complaints and horsewhips, that the editor is
persecuted CREATURES all fallacy The
average editorial-room is very quiet sort of
place-a spot where loafers are seldom toler-
ated, and where disturbances very infre-
queltly occur. The idea that the foreman is
inveterately bowling for copy is an erroneous
one, invented probably by some amateur jour-
well regulated editors make it one of
the important details of their business
never to let the printers stand around
and charge time The editorial-room is not
luxurious spot, but it is invariably comforta-
bly, quiet 1t is especially rare field for the
study OF character. In the course of brief
year every phase of human nature passes be-
fore the eye of the editor in his sanctum, and
1t is there that the cant and hypocrisy of hu-
mainly are most frequently self exposed The
hollowness and rottenness of politicians are
first detected by the editor, for the politician
has confidant in the editor. And it is so
with merchants, lawyers, preachers and every
manner of man who steps into the editorial
sanctum If they are weak and hypocritcal,
the editor is the first to discover it. for tho ed
itorial-room is a sort of disrobing room for the
rest of the world-a chamber where people
come and lay off their masks and toggery and
display their blemishes and weaknesses. To
those who are in the secrets of the sanctum it
is no wonder that editors are invariably the
most confirmed of cynics

Prentice Milford in San Francisco Chronicle.
We had very calm passage until within
four days of New York. The steamer was
light, and such rolling for three days 1 never
deemed anything afioat capable of. The oscil-
lations were as regular and almost as rapid as
those of a common pendulum. 1t was one

The cabin steward was busy putting up extra
bunkboards to keep them from rolling out.
One morning l saw the stewardess en- route
from the cooks room to the cabin with
breakfast for some state room victim. She
carried in one hand tiny coffee-pot, and in
the other plate of sausages, fried beautiful
brown-how beautiful they looked! The
ship gave an extra double twist, flop, a fling,
= and then sharp rebound. The stewardess
flew one way, the coffee-pot another, and the
sausages, broken plate and all, slid in con-
fusion of pieces straight before her. That

speech.

ONION EATING.
BY an Exnerf.

By an Expert.
Springfield Ohio Globe.
Il know this: An onion is the most vilihed
and worst traduced esculent there is, and vet
1t is one of the most delicious to some persons
that the earth produces. There is one thing
that it lacks and that is popularity. 1 know
men who, If they experience the slightest
Whit Of an onion, become so sick that they
are in the deepest imaginable misery for
hours thereafter. What say is no exaggera-
ton in the least Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Hooper is afflicted that way On the
other hand there are those who are SO passion
ately fond of onions that they would rather eat
a mess of onions than to sit down to the finest
banquet in the land General Samuel F.
Hunt is one of them General Hunt is an
enthusiast on the subject Of onions He told
me once that every time he visits the residence
of a friend of his, who makes a specially
of raising particularly fine species of onions,
he eats so many that he is ashamed of himself
Many time he slips off to restaurant and
enjoys a feast of his favorites in several
courses. He says that those are the happiest
moments of his life. To the travelling man,
the onion is the best friend in the world
You can't think of any shape that an onion is
not good. Boiled, stewed, fried, baked,
fricasseed, escolloped, roasted, picked or raw
they are palatable and delicious. Cooked with
potatoes, beefsteak, turkey or duck they are
exceedingly savory. Just let q fellow banging
around the country, disguised with the fare he
receives at out-of-the-way hotels or boarding
houses, eat a raw onion and see how it will
brace him up. If you have taken too much
tea of an evening, and feel the worse for your
bout the next morning, manage to get outside
of an onion or two, and see how it will help
you. Onions are excellent cures for heavy
colds, as everybody knows. Then when a fell
low becomes wakeful, just let him fill up on
nice sliced onions. Gracious to goodness,
what comfortable drowsiness will come over
him! He forgets all care, and sinks into a
regular old-fashioned, forty knot snooze that
does him power of good, I tell you

The Salvation ARMY.

CSO . MOlIIlJ.
At last accounts, this famous religious Or
ganization was in trouble. The common peo-
pie of England were leagued against it, and
as the praying bands marched through the
several towns, they were maltreated and even
stoned by the roughs and the lower classes. 1t
seems the common people of England resent
the attempt to teach them sobriety. But the
Salvation army is intent upon the discourage
ment of the use of liquor, hence the turmoil.
But the great success of the Salvationists in
renewing the religious interests of such
number of people has excited the emulation
Of the members of the Church of England,
who have commenced to organize movement
of similar kind They are getting up pro-
cessions with banners so as to march through
the towns calling on the people
to join the ranks of the faith
full But General Booth and his Jealous
wife, with their son as an assistant, still keep
the lead, and his army is marching on and re-
kindling the religious enthusiasm of the
people Of the British Isles
