PIT OF sensiuvlzed paperr AS mat
ter Of fact, however, the discolorization
of sensitivized paper is but one of the
many processes duo to the chemical en-
ergy of the sunlight. And prolonged
absence Of sunlight Is a very serious
matter. Its effects upon the health are
direct and perceptible. We get no
ozone, and we become dull and listless
as If we had been sitting up all night.
When thus out OF tone and below par,
we are consequently deficient in that
vital energy which would otherwise en-
able us to shake off any ordinary all
ment. Nor Is this all. Absence of
sunlight for any considerable period is
almost invariably followed by epidemic
outbreaks. When the sun is active,
filth of all kinds putrefies as it collects.
When there is no sunshine filth collects,
accumulates in masses, and ferments.
These fermented accumulations are a
source of positive danger as soon as
the sun resumes its activity. Decom-
position under bright sun is compar-
atively harmless. Slow decomposition
in the dark is especially hostile to
health. We need no chemist to tell us
this; but, ut the same time, it is as well
to bear the chemistry of common life
in mind. When the astronomer royal
reports total absence of sunshine we
ought to be especially careful, and, it
may be added, children suffer more
from the suns rays than do adults.
Adults have only to keep alive; chill
dren have to keep alive and grow,
which entails double amount of chem
ical work. Now, if there be no sum
shine. we can best supplement its alb
sence by exercise. And yet, strange
enough, the absence of sunshine is re-
garded by most mothers as sufficient
ground for keeping children within
doors. 1t is, on the contrary the rea-
son why they should be sent out and
kept out as much as possible.-London

Feathered Pugilists.

'More care is taken in the training
OF fighting cocks than was ever spent
in getting Slugger Sullivan ready for a
match" said an old chicken fancier,
yesterday, in answer to the query of q
reporter. The speaker handled the
"birds" in nearly every prominent
main that has been fought in or near
tho city. He was one of the few who
escaped arrest at the recent raid upon
cock-fghters at New Hunting park.
Neatly-arranged coops. containing fino
specimens of the feathered pugilists,
occupy the whole of the third floor of
his residence. When match is ar
ranged the training begins. and until
the battles are fought the chickens are
constantly under the trainers direc-
ton. The first object is to harden the
flesh and by exercise to increase their
staying powers. This is done by run
ming them back and forward on a
wooden table by the pressure of the hand
After a certain amount of this exer-
else the chicken is weighed, and if its
flesh has not been reduced enough to
satisfy the trainer it is put through an
other process. The chicken is tossed
several feet into the air, and alights on
a mattress placed upon the table. A
hundred times, possibly, the feathered
fighter goes up and down; when he is
put into dark but well-ventilated bar
rel. A couple of hours are allowed to
elapse, when he is again brought out,
and two little soft balls fastened to his
spurs. Another chicken is equipped in
like manner, and the two indulge in q
sparring match. This continues sever
al minutes, and while they strike each
other viciously no harm can result, I'M
less one of the gloves" flies off. A
feature of the training is the feed Civ
en-. If the chicken needs little more
weight he is fed on raw beef. Roasted
corn and the white of hard-boiled eggs
are the principal articles of diet, with
a loaf of spiced bread, containing eggs,
sugar, rock candy, and variety of
spices, for dessert The latter is eaten
with relish. The maximum limit of
weight of fighting chicken is six
pounds, while the minimum weight is
four pounds. The sport of cock-fght-
ing, according to the old fancier, has
largely increased in popularity during
the past score of years, and he declar-
ed that not a week passes without
rafting contest in some part of the
city. Philadelphia Record.

An enthusiastic artist, desiring to
paint a storm on the sea, pushed his
boat far out on the deep, and when
last seen was painting the very wave
which engulfed him. That this man
he employed defeated the end he
sought. He sacrificed his life to a
passion which. if properly restrained,
would have been innocent and even
praiseworthy, but which, being ,inordi-
nate, destroyed him.
Does our Judgment condemn this
painter? If it does, it illustrates its
own soundness. But does it not at the
same time censure multitude of living
menp What is this painter but typi-
cal man, illustrating the folly of thous-
ands who have surrendered themselves
to the control of an inordnate ambi-
ton to be rich, or to be pre-eminent in
society, or in political or in ecclesiasti-
cal lifep What other Interpretation
than that such a surrender has been
made by vast numbers can one give
TO those illcgitimate methods which
have taken possession of the great
marts of trade, which so largely char
acterize our political elections, and
which in some small degree manifest
themselves in ecclesiastical circlesp
Ambition in church or State, when
curbed by Christian principles, may be
innocent and even praiseworthy; but
when it exalts itself into ruling pas
sions, tramples on the claims of God
and humanity and seeks money, honor,
Office or power as an end, it becomes
deadly and dangerous sin, destructive
of character and fatal to its victims
immortal interests. Our painter is the
fitting type, both of his folly and his
fate.

Sunshine and Human Health.

For some considerable time past the
astronomer royal and his assistants
have been weekly reporting the signifi-
cant fact that the recorded sunshine
during the seven days has been, upon
the average, nil. Prima facie 1t is only

this intelligence. What can It possibly
matter to the world at large IL there Is

This morning Isabella Mason, o very
black. but neat looking woman, was
charged by q light yellow girl named
Mary Morris. with committing an rs
sault and battery on her.
The testimony showed that Bud
Mason, tine defendants husband. was
the father of Mary Norris child, and
that although his mother, and also his
wife, had offered to take the child and
care for IL If Mary would only stay
away from him, she refused to give Il
up.
Sometime ago Mrs. Mason warned
her that unless she remained away from
her husband she would thrash her, but
1t seems she still persisted in following
