What q. Woman Can Do.

As wife and mother, woman can
make the fortune and happiness of her
husband and children; and, if she did
nothing else, surely this would be suffi.
cient destiny. By her thrift, prudence,
and tact, she can secure to her partner
and to herself competence in old age,
no matter how small their beginning, OF
how adverse fate may be theirs. By
her cheerfulness she can restore her hus-
bands spirit, shaken by the anxiety OF
business. By her tender care she can
often restore him to health, If disease
has overtasked his powers. By heI
counsel and love she can win him from
bad company, if temptation in an evil
hour has led him astray. By her exam
pie, her precepts, and he, sex's insight
into character, she can mould her child
rem, however adverse their dispositions,
into noble men and women. And, by
leading in all thing true and beautiful
life, she can refine, elevate, and spiritu-
allze all who come within reach so that,
with others of her sex emulating and as
sisting her, she can do more to regener-
ate the world than all the statesmen OF
reformers that ever legislated.
She can do much, alas perhaps more,
to degrade man if she chooses to do it.
Who can estimate the evils that woman
has the power to do? As wife can she
ruin herself by extravaganza, folly, or
want of affection. She can make de-
mon or an outcast of man who might
otherwise become good member Of So
ciety. She can bring pickering, strife,
and discord into what has been a happy
home. She can change the innocent
babes into vile men and even into vile
women. She can lower the moral tone
of society itself, and thus pollute legis
lation at the spring head. She can, ir
fine, become an instrument of evil in
stead of an angel of good.
Instead of making flowers of truth
purity, beauty and spirituality spring ui
in her footsteps, till the earth smiles
with loveliness that is almost celestial
she can transform it to black and ariG
desert, covered with the scorn of all evi
passion and swept by the bitter blast o
everlasting death. This is what woman
can do for the wrong as well as for the
right. Is her mission little one? Hal
she no worthy work, as has become tn
cry of late? Man may have a harde
task to perform, a rougherroad to travel
but he has none loftier or more infuen
tial than woman's.

In THE reports on American and foreig,

In THE reports on American and foreign
patents relating to chemistry, published
in the Proceedings of the American
Chemical Society, we find the following
inventions mentioned: A method Of
making articles from waste amber by
treating the pieces with solvents and sub
jecting them to pressure; process of
obtaining the perfumes of natural flow
ers by absorption, the flowers being
stepped in vaseline which takes up the
essential oils and is thus transformed
into perfume; new fuel consisting of
coaI-dust ground with lime and formed
while moist into masses of convenient
sizs and shape; an Illuminating oil made
up of petroleum and small portion of
chloroform; and plastic mass called
tripolith, which is a substitute for plaster
of Paris and is said to have advantages
over that substance, presumably for the
use of sculptors. @

PeriheliOn and Aphelion.

The earth reaches her perihelion OF
nearest point to the sun the 1st o1
January. She is then three million
miles nearer the sun than when in aphe-
lion, or her most distant point from the
sun on the 1st of July. As the earth
moves in an elliptical orbit, and the sun
is situated in one of the foci of the
ellipse, she must some times be nearer
him than at Others Her nearest point
is called perihelion, from two Greek
words meaning near the sun. Her most
distant point is called aphelion, from
two Greeks words meaning from the
sun. Though much nearer to the SUD
than in July, the increased proximity Is
not even perceived by far the greater
portion of the myriads of human beings
on whom the sun shines. And yet the
three million miles that measures the
earth increased nearness, Is a distance
of which we can form little conception.
By measuring the suns diameter from
day to day throughout the year, we have
the means of determining the relative
distances of the sun from the earth. In
this way the shape of the earth's orbit
was found out The earth moves fastest
at perihelion, for the suns attraction Is
then strongest, and the greater his at
traction the faster she moves. This is
proved by measuring the suns apparent
movement through the ecliptic. Thus,
on the 1st of January he moves through
sixty-one minutes of the ecliptic, on the
1st of July, he moves through about
fifty-seven minutes, giving four minutes
of degree in increased velocity, which
means countlesss miles in the earth g
actual speed.
An interesting question connected with
| perihelion is the reason why We do not
have our hottest weather when we are
nearest the sun. 1t is because it occurs
| in the northern winter when the suns
| rays fall obliquely upon the earth and
| give comparatively little heat, though il
is probable that the severity of mid
| winter is tempered by the benignant In
fuence. The reverse takes place in the
Southern hemisphere, where doubtless
the occurrence of perihelion increases
the midsummer heat. This theory &C
counts for the fact that in Australia anG
Southern Africa the temperature il
winter is higher than in CORE spending
latitudes north of the equator. Th'
earth's perihelion is, therefore, an in
teresting topic for study to those wh'
would understand the play of some of tn
great forces that rule the worlds IL
space. for the same laws control tn
movements of the smallest planet ant
the largest sun.-Providence Journal

A Chicago dispatch states that # is said
that the wheat syndicate has been reinforced
by P. D. Armour, Of Chicago, and one or
two Milwaukee capitalists, and that. the
biggest deal ever attempted In this country
will soon be under way. The market on
regular No. 2 for July has been oversold dur
ing the last few days not less than 20, ,000,-
600 bushels, and members of the clique talk
of making the shorts settle az 81 bushel
1t Is reported that the agents OF the new
combination have been going around among
vessel owners for two days past chartering
boats, and that by Monday not less than one
million bushels OF wheat now in store here
will be on the way East. 1t is predicted
that by July 1st there will not be 1000, 600
bushels of old wheat In the Chicago eleva-
tors. The scheme is to distribute the grain
among the New EDgland millers, where 1t
will go into consumption. II this plan is
carried out, 1t will leave the combination
with nothing to do but to look after the new
No 2 winter, which will come in during the
month OF July. The new rule making win
ter wheat regular, which it is thought would
prevent corners, has had no such effect.
Speculation was more active to day than 1t
has been for months.

Death of an Ex-State SenatOr-The
whisky Law of Eastman.

EASTMAN. GA, June 12.-Ex- State Senator
John j. Hamilton. of this place, died Of
paralysis at half-past five O'Clock last satur-
day afternoon. Mr.. Hamilton was sixty-two
years old. and was stricken with the disease
one week before his death, being almost in a
dying condition during that time He was
next to the last Of family OF eight brothers,
all of whom were wealthy and influential men
in the communities where they lived The
only one of the brothers now Lying is Mr.
Ashley Hamilton, of Florida. Senator
Hamilton owned considerable stock and
real estate in this section. He always
provided well for his family and was
prompt in the payment of his debts. He is
gone. and his loss will be felt, but his life and
efforts have not been without their Legitimate
fruits. the benefits OF which will be reaped by
those who survive him. He leaves a devoted
wife, three most affectionate unmarried
daughters, a little boy and grown son. J. D.
Hamilton, who is a prominent merchant of
Eastman. He also has two married children
The remains of the deceased were inferred
yesterday at the cemetery in the presence of a
large number OF relatives and mourning
friends.
There is but one drawback to the prosperity,
and but one blot upon the well deserved good
name of our little city-that is the local law
governing the sale OF whisky in Dodge county.
The people are beginning TO clamor loudly for
the repeal of this law unless it can be en-
forced AS it now stands, the whole thing is
not only farce. but an absolute nHllIty. Those
who are not familiar with the facts, and are
not directly interested; those who do not
live here where they can see for themselves
how the thing Is managed, cannot
appreciate the situation. The law as enacted
provides that the retail liquor license in this
county be 81 800. except when sold in certain
specified quantities, and under certain restric.
tions by drug stores for medicinal purposes
Thus far 1T is, on its face, very good; but the
law has simply been used as a tool and the
unfortunate result is, we have a healthy town
medicine is kept The whisky business here is
most profitable to individuals, although neither
the State. the town, nor the general govern
ment so far as known, derive one cent of rev.
enue from the traffic as conducted. JB, JR
