Our Bfq Neg0b6or.


A great deal has been said of late
about our neighbor, the planet Jul
piter, and with good reason. for Jul
bitter has been in a condition OF in
tense activity His disk, seen
through the telescope, is crossed by
belts of various forms and colors.
The central ones are the great equat-
orial belts, and are more permanent
than the lesser ones near the poles,
The Talker saw this planet little
while ago, through the largest re-
fracting telescope in the world. His
disk was larger than that of the
full moon. His belts were of varied
forms and cOlOrs, and were tinted
with soft gray, purple, brown and
delicate green. The picture was
not only superbly beautiful, but
wonderfully impressive for the at
mOsphere of life and action that
pervaded it. Jupiter is probably
surrounded by a cloud atmosphere
several thou sand miles in depth,
beneath glows and heated nucleus,
giving out some light and heat.
The great red spot, the huge riffs in
the clouds, the changing form and
hues the belts, bear witness to the
commOtion that agitates his chaotic
mass, the process of development
that in the course of millions of
years will make the giant planet a
fit abode for animate life. The
Companion says truly that we are
probably watching the process of
world making on the surface of our
big BROTHER. In his vast bulk, 300
times that of the earth, the cooling
process must be slow, for the law is.
the larger the mass of the planet,
the longer it takes to cool Long
before it shall have become cooled,
it is probable that mankind shall
have ceased to exist on this planet

He made q blazing fire-he was
careful to make as little noise as
possible, for fear of waking Mary
and then he made some biscuit.
some coffee and cooked some meat.
sPOor woman. she needs this
Sleep" he said, as no movement
all this time was made i'm the bed.
When the meal was cooked he
put 1t on the little table and then
went to the bed to wake Mary.
"Mary! My wife !" he called.
SECT up, darling. Here is a good
fire and a good dinner"
The child rubbed its eyes with its
little fists and began to cry, but Ma
ry did not move.
( MARY, wake up. Mary!" called
John again. And be drew down
the covering and put hisarms about
his wife and kissed her.
Then, with cry of horror, he
passed his hand over her face.
Mary was dead.
The next day there was simple
funeral which only a few attended.
Some of the neighbor5 came IN and
followed the body TO the grave.
Some OF them even wept.
But John stood by the grave I'M
til the last sptdeful of earth had
been placed, and there was no tear
in his eye. The fountain had been
dried up by grief which could
find no expression.
Since that day he has been stead
lily at work. He has drunk no
more, and is fast regaining his old
friends and making new ones.
His chief pleasure in the world is
to care for the motherless babe.
But the world can never know the
sorrow that fingers in his life.
AS he sits before his fire at night
when the child is fast asleep, he
thinks always of the weary little
woman who loved him and bore
with him and did so much for him.
In all his sorrow he treasures a
sweet hope that he may one day
see her again and kneelIng at her
feet hear the loving words of forgiv-
ness. How this may be he cannot
tell. He only feels that it must be
so.
Somewhere in the great universe
of God there must be reward for
the patient, faithful wife. Somehow
in the providence of God he must
and will be granted the privilege OF
hOnoring her as he never hOnored
her in this life.

A DISTINGUISHED free trade ORA
tor on the stump in Tennessee used
to say that he. was tired of paying
$5 for an American blanket when a
British blanket could be bought for
$2-if there were no protective duty
on the imported article. Having
heard a good deal about the blan-
ket argument a New England man.
ufacture recently tested the matter.
He imported a pair of pound bIan-
kets. The wholesale price in Eng
land was 81 45 on which the import
duty and custom house fees was
81 80, making the total cost SO 30,
while American blankets of precise
ly the same weight and quality are
selling at $500 per pair, showing
that the American price of the arti-
Gle is not the English price with the

WASHINGTON, February A.
Representative Morrison completed
his tariff bill this morning, and dur
ing the call of states introduced it in
the house. The bill was prepared
last week, with the exception OF
placing few articles on the free
list, concerning which Mr.. Morri-
son was undecided. A reduction of
20 per cent, is made in numerous ar
ticles, while in a few cases the re-
duction is greater or less than this
rate. A provision prevents any re-
duction to a rate lower than i'll the
Morril act of 1861.

The MARTYRS of Journalism.

At DR.. J. B. Woods funeral,
Wednesday, at the New York Press
Clubs rooms, DIR. Talmage said /:
1--WE stand at the casket of Il martyr
Of American journalism. So closes
a life in that precarious profession,
the struggles and hardships and ex
posure of which few appreciate.
All of us want the news and the
newest news, and the news budget
in the best shape, but yet realize
little.what tolls and Ifatigues every
issue of morning and evening news
papers represent. The senseless
clamor of the public for cheaper
and cheaper newspapers, until we
get what is equal to a book or
small library in one newspaper for
two or three cents, may be great
sport for us, and may take no more
from the stock holders of Il newSpa-
per company than they can spare
without especial inconvenience, but
the demand comes with crushing
weight upon the repotOrial corps,
who must do more work for less
pay. 1t fetches the blood. Stand
ing by the casket of dead Journal
list, | demand that the public take
the foot of invasion off the hearth
stone and the bread tray of the
men who write three-quarters of
the reading matter of our morning
and evenining newspapers. With
the vast majority of journalists it is
a and-to-h hand fight for bread, and
nothing accumulated for the day of
sickness or time of old age. The
toll of hand and foot in this cOun-
try often fails of proper compensa-
ton, but still more inadequately
paidis the toll of the brain. When a
pen, for thirty years drawn at the
top of its speed across the midnight
page, comes to its last paragraph,
and slows up in its last sentence,
and stops at its last word, and rests
at its last period, it is to be congrat-
ulated above all the pens that con-
tinue their weary flight.

Canine Dentistry.

eyes" said the man who advertises
as dentist for dogs, .'canine dentistry
is a new departure in the treatment OF
dogs. Many dogs, especially lad 'es'
pets. are troubled with bad breath, which
arises in some cases from improper feed
ing, and generally from decayed teeth
and accumulation of tartar. Having
been the proprietor of the largest
kennel at Toms River, N. j., for many
years, and a large importer OF all kinds
of dogs, l ha'e made their diseases
matter of study. When dog is brought
to me. I examine his mouth, and II l
find that tartar has accumulated upon
the teeth, take preparation which
have for that purpose and remove IL:
Sometimes large canker sores are found
upon the gums and the teeth become
loose. In such cases l cauterize the
gums and apply my remedy, which has
the effect of hardening the gums and
restoring the teeth to their original
| tirmness. Where tooth is decayed 1
extract it. Another cause of the dis
order of the mouth, which most always
occurs in small terriers, Is from close
interviewing.
yesterday lady brought 10 me q
very large Maltese cat, and complained
that the cat had very offensive breath,
and it being great pet, wanted to

which was broken oil so cose to TIE
gums that could not reach it with the

tooth was out the offensive smell was
gone. 1t was very painful operation
