How the Sun Sets Officially.

At Governors Island the sun is not
only made to go down with a big bang
at the Nations expense, but the opera
ton is preceded by an astonishing
amount of red tape. By a regulation of
the War Department the management
of the affair must be carried out by the
guard. One corporal of the guard, as
noon draws near, fixes his eye upon the
Western Union time-ball, over in New
York, which can be discerned with the
unassisted human eye from the guard
house. When the ball falls the corporal
says as much to another corporal, who
instantly sets the gu%ard-house clock.
The second corporal then tells a third
corporal to set all the clocks on the
island. While the third corporal is set
ting all the clocks, the second corporal
hunts up the hour provided for sunset
in the almanac and writes it down on a
lip of paper. A fourth corporal carries
this slip toa fifth corporal at Castle
William. The fifth corporal waits until
his clock, as corrected by the third cor
poral, marks the hour designated on the
slip of paper furnished by the second
corporal, and then gives a signal to a
sixth corporal, w%hereupon a bugle is
blown, the gun is discharged, and the
sun has gone down officially.-Bufalo

Doctors and Patients.

In one of u large provincial towns
a middle-aged individual, suffering from
indigestion and various other ailments,
having been advised to consult the lead
ing physician of the locality, was ush-
cred into the %latter's private room.
When he had detailed the symptoms of
his malady, loss of appetite, sleepless
nights and so forth, ..Ah," said the doc
tor. II see how it is, you require plenty
of air and exercise, but we will 500
bring you round. Nothing so bad for
the digestion as sedentary habits, desk
work, and that sort of thing. You
must manage to walk rs much
and as often as your business
will allow. By the bye, what is your
businessP" Travelling peddler for
the last five and-twenty years." re-
piled the patient. Some few months
ago one of our medical celebrities was
walking down Bruton street one after
noon with a friend, when they perceived
coming toward them a strikingly
handsome woman. DR.. 2. Immediately
seized his companions arm, and with
out saying a word crossed rapidly over
''What is that forP" inquired the other.
Hippocrates, II don't particularly wish
to meet that lady. Iattended her husband
last year-a very bad case indeed-and

friend, she died under your care"

clan, "a great deal worse. I cured him

likely to forgive or forget it'll the

One Cause of Domestic Infelieity.

Rev. Mr.. Giles. of %Philadelphi a,
said, on recent Sunday, that one of the
causes of domestic infelicity is the fool
ish and exaggerated notions of young
people regarding the happiness of mar
ried life. at is the happiest state" he
said, ''but it must have its trials, regrets
and disappointments. Though condu-
Give to happiness, happiness is not its
direct purpose" Mr.. Giles did not
mention it, but it is nevertheless true,
that these foolish and exaggerated no.
tons are got from the miserable novels
and poetry that misrepresent life. When
young people learn that married life is
no more of perpetual a than n
other life, that the same qualities of self
control, forbearance and kindness that
make any other life tolerable are essen
tial to married Eife, then there will be
fewer disappointments and divorces.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1884-01-03

"Just SOL knew the feeling exactly, and
I fancy Mr.. Jones guessed as much: for
though he aimed his arrows at the dupe
whoIwas not present, he took careful heed
that zach one should pass through me.
'All false sympathy" he said at parting
'spity's thrown away on such as she, but
there, gentlemen must take their way; and
as it's no doubt cost a tidy sum, perhaps
after all, sir, the lesson may be of profit to
you"
1 thanked Mr.. Jones cordially; I felt
very little fear that a second time I should
ever fall a victim. The world of women
was evidently a terra incognita to me, and
henceforth, as far as possible, l m try
and steer clear of them. UP to this period
1 had occupied a neutral position, hence.
forth I was armed to the teeth, my antag'
onism to the fair sex became a byword and
a reproach to me. "Never had a thought
of love in his life!" said they who know
me, and have never read these confessions,
and by them learned what a narrow escape
I once ran of not living and dying q
bachelor.-Ienple Bar.

C~opernicus.

At Frauenburg, Copernicus may be
said to have first begun Systematically
to note and record the places of the
heavenly bodies. He chose for his OBJ
servatory and abode a tower stilY
pointed out to visitors as the
s.curia Copernicana." 1t formed
part of the Notifications by
which the ecclesiastical citadel of Erm-
land was Gas the event proved) not al
together Intellectually protected, and
overlooked a spacious horizon to the
north, south and west. The cathedral
of Frauenburg stood on a gentle emf
nence close to the Frische Half, an ex-
tensive sheet of nearly fresh water,
connected with the Baltic by a single
narrow channel, and separated from it
by a ridge of blown sand known as. the
adjacent to the Copernican tower, the
eye wandered undisturbed across the
blue expanse of this species of inland
white dunes beyond, and, in clear
weather, even to the azure line of the
Baltic; while on the landward side a
family undulating plain stretched south
as far as the eye could see, well wooded
and watered. rich with cornfields and
meadows, and e~nlivened by cheerful
h~omesteads; the view on the east side
alone being interrupted by the rusty
red brick gable of the pinnacled -cathe-
dral. 1t was here that Copernicus set
up his triquetrum, an instrument
for taking { the attitudes of the
stars, constructed by himself, ac-
cording to Ptolemaic precepts,
of three strips of deal marked in ink
with numerou divisions. Aided by
this rude implement, which afforded,
with the utmost care, a degree of accu-
racy at least 2,400 times inferior to that
at the command of modern astronomers,
he effected the most complete and sur
prising scientific revolution known in
the history of human progress. 1t was
soon discovered, however, that he pos
sessed other gifts besides those neces-
sary for star-gazing, and that his clear
Judgment and strong sense could be
made eminently useful in practical af-
fairs. Nor does he seem to have raised
any objection to the interruption of his
| studies. Thus he undertook and full
filed, as Administrator of the distant
capitular domains of Allenstein and
| Mehlsack, duties of the most h~eterogen-
Gus character. He was at once Bailiff,
Military Governor, Judge in civil and
criminal cases. of first instance and ap-
peal, Tax Collector, Vicar General.
Some records of his daily labors in the
| allotment of lands have been preserved,
and show the minuteness of the details
with which he was obliged to be con-
versant. The conditions of tenure in
Ermland were various and complicated.
The difficulties at the best of times at
tending their regulation were increased
tenfold by the disturbed state of the
country.-Edinburgh Reriew.
