Mars Moons.

A remarkable feature of the two
satellites of Mars, which we're discov-
cred about six years ago by Prof.
Asaph Hall. is the proximity of the
inner one to tine planet, its distance
from the centre of the latter body being
about u $50 miles; and from the surface
less than 1000. If" said Prof. New
comb, there are any astronomers on
Mars with telescopes and eyes ike ours,
they can readily find out whether this
satellite is inhabited. the distance being
less than one -sixticth that of the moon

THE Current

In the earlier days of Charles Sum.
ner's public life, he used to contend
that voting, being duty, not privi-
lege, should be enforced by law. The
logic of the position is impressive. The
proposition should be morticed firmly
into current reformatory programmes.

A Queer Disease.

Attention has lately been drawn in one
of the English medical journals to a dis
ease met in Siberia, known to the Rus
slams by the name of "Miryachit." The
person affected seems compelled to imi-
tate anything he hears or sees, and an
interesting account is given of a steward
who was reduced to a perfect state of
misery by his inability to avoid initiating
everything he heard and saw. One day
the captain of the steamer, running up to
him, suddenly clapping his hands at the
same time, accidentally slipped and fell
hard on the deck. Without having been
touched the steward instantly clapped
his hands and shouted; then, in helpless
imitation, he too fell as hard and almost
precisely in the same manner and position
as the captain. This disease has been
met with in Java, where it is known as
'Lata," In the case of female servant
who had the same irresistible tendency to
initiate, one day at dessert her mistress,
wishing to exhibit this popularity, and
catching the woman's eyes, suddenly
reached across the table and Selling a
large French plum made pretense to
swallow it whole. The woman rushed
at the dish and put plum in her mouth,
and after severe choking and semi-as-
phyxia succeeded in swallowing it, but
her mistress never tried the experiment
again.

Joe Cushing's Passes.

"Joe Cushing" said a railroad man
to Globe Democrat reporter yesterday,
fused to own a mill on certain rail-
way up in New Hampshire, and it was
an almighty big mill, too. Well, the
railroad got to squeezing Joe pretty
hard. They told him he'd got to ship
over their line or shut up his mill, and
they proposed to charge him any rate
they wanted to. At last Joe couldn't
stand it any longer. There was another
railroad six miles away, and one day he
went to see the general manager of the
other line, and offered to build road
cross lots from his mill if he was guar
anteed certain reasonable charges for all
time to come. His offer was accepted,
and inside of twenty-four hours Joe had
five hundred men at work shoveling
down hills, filling up valleys, bridging
streams and laying rails and ties. The
officials of the road that had been put
ting the blocks to him went to see him,
and offered to carry his stuff for the cost
of transportation if he would abandon
his project. but Joe promptly refused
them. In few months he had his road
completed, and he has been using it ever
since.
"Now the fun of the thing is that as
soon as everything was in working order
Joe went to Boston and had lot OF
printing done, and before many days
every railroad official in America received
an elegantly engraved annual pass, in.
closed in neatly printed circular. The
front the pass read as follows:
"1s-a JOE CUsH1NG's ROAD. 1881. Pass
Mr.. - until December 81, unless 9th.
erwise ordered.
"'No. -. JOE CUsH ING, President.
"0n the back was printed this unique
sentence: This pass is not transferable.
The person accepting and using it there
by assumes the right to travel and trans.
port baggage over this road whenever he
pleases, and at the risk of Joe Cushing,
who will be financially responsible fol-
all damage to person or property incurred
while 80 travelling
''The circular was headed by map Of
the road showing the location of the mill
and the length of the line. 1t said in
substance: "My road is only six miles
long, but is perfectly solvent, pays all it,
interest charges and taxes, and is first.
class property in every respect. here.
with send you an annual pass and invite
you to use my line at any and all time:
at my own risk. If you should see fit to
extend me in return the courtesy of an
annual pass over your road, shall great
ly appreciate it."'
"Well, sir, the mans cheek was SC
enormous that the officials of nearly
eveay road in America laugh over the
thing and send him pass, and l hear OF
HIM every now and then in different
places all over the country using his an
nuals."

Thil was kept up for about quarter Of
an hour, when the fire was put out and
the one at the other end of the house
lighted. The other party now went
through the same motions, which were
sometimes graceful, but always monot-
onOus.
Thus the two parties continued to al
ternate, the motions becoming more and
more energetic. After awhile the fun
became furious, the fellow with the colos-
sal headdress performed a kind of In
dian war dance, uttering the most ave.
inspiring grunts and yells imaginable,
until, entirely exhausted, he sank down
in his place. The female at the other
end went through a similar performance,
while three youths enacted pantomime
representing two dogs in chase of cat.
Two dancers placed themselves on hands
and knees close together, thus forming q
table. The fellow representing the cat
sprang up upon this table, whence he
kept up tremendous splitting and
scratching at the dogs barking and leap
ing around below. The most curious
part of this dance, if so it can be called,
was that the fellow who played the role
of cat had his face so frightfully dis
torted by strips of bark tied around it
that he looked somewhat like an Egyp-
tian mummy in a very bad state of preser-
walton. The sivas are usually kept up
without intermission until daybreak,
A few hours was quite enough to satisfy
my curiosity, and was glad to make

parlors and had spent q delightful half
hour on parade duty as it we're, when my
wife suddenly turned pale in what /
thought was fainting fit. hurried her
from the room and was about to turn the
house upside down In search Of restora-
tives, when she clutched my sleeve and
pointed to her feet. She had before
leaving home drawn over her shoes pair
of my socks, and had forgotten to remove
them. The thought that she had been
parading before 300 people with those
socks on was too much for herr
A Southsider who had listened to this
said, after indulging in contented little
chuckle: my wife tells me almost as
good a story as that on herself. She is,
as everybody knows who knows her at all,
very particular about her dress, and she
grieves over a spot on my coat or lack
of polish on my shoes with grief that
will not be comforted. She went down
street shopping ON one occasion this
spring, and in trying on bonnets became
little disturbed over the fact that none
of the new shapes suited her face. She,
therefore, picked up her parasol, walked
out of the store, called on a very aristo-
cratic acquaintance and then came home.
A glance in the hall glass showed that
she had no bonnet on. She had taken it
off to try on the new ones, and, as she
expressed it, had been parading along
the streets with nothing on her head but
a small veil across her forehead. She
didn't scold me about the spots on my
coat for a week"
81 have better story than that" said
a superintendent of one of the depart
ments of Fields. Not long ago a
fashionably dressed lady came in early,
and in the course of her bargaining put
her parasol on the counter near large
feather buster which one of the clerks
had been using. After making some
purchase the lady caught up the buster
instead of her parasol and went out hur'
riedly. AS soon as discovered the mis-
take sent boy after her with the para
sol, but he did not overtake her until
she had made quite big journey.
Gin fact, she fourished that feather
buster along the street, flourished il
about as she went into another store, and
put it down on the counter, still under
the impression that it was a parasol.
When her purchases in the second store
were made she turned to pick up her
parasol and seeing the feather buster
asked for her parasol. The clerk ex-
planned that she had not brought any
parasol in, but had come in carrying that
duster. She was supremely indignant
at such an intimation, and was deliver
ing the clerk a sharp lecture on the sub
iect when in came our boy with her
para8ol and an explanation. She was so
overcome that she had to be sent home
in q carriage. y Chtcag0 Tribune.

A Floral Time Table.

1t is most interesting fact that GER
tain flowers open and close their blossoms
at least once in every twenty-four hours,
although the cause of this action is as yet
but imperfectly known. In some cases
it may depend on heat, in others on light
being present in sufficient force. The
fact has long been known. 1t was known
to Linneus, and some of the early gar
deners mention floral clocks and dials
among the quaint conceits offered to the
readers of their books. Here is list of
plants which open at different hours
during the day. The first column of
figures gives the time of opening in the
morning, and the second column shows
the time of closing,
