THE REp-uEADED GIRL.

writer, when the rhododendrons and
straw hats are beginning to blossom,
and when by other like unmistakable
signs we know that the spring time is
ended and that summer is nigh at

season. il is pleasant to turn from the
'wilderment of rival booms and the
turmoil Of conventions to q glad yet
placid contemplation of the red-headed
girl.
For, after all. there is something
about the red-hcaded girl that is both
soothing and comforting-always pro-
vided. of course, that you take her in
the right way. When you take her in
the wrong way-well, it won't be long
before you'll wish you hadn't For.
Notwithstanding the truth of the state

Corn and Oats for Horses.

Corn is deficient in many of the ele-
ments of nutrition so necessary for re-
cupcrating the constant wear and tear
which necessarily takes place in the
body of the living animal. On this ac-
count, horses which are exclusively fed
on corn and hay do not receive that
kind of nourishment which appears
necessary for the due support and main
tenance of the animal fabric; hence, we
must not be surprised that corn-fed
horses show evidence of being languid,
by sweating profusely while being
worked, lack of vitality, etc. Oats, on
the contrary, contain more of the essen
tial elements of nutrition than any other
article of food which can be fed with
impunity to horses, and are decidedly
the most nutritious. They are the
cheapest, because there is less risk in
feeding them. and experience has proved
that horses properly fed on oats and
timothy hay, with regular exercise, good
grooming and proper sanitary regula-
tons, can be brought to the ighest state
of physical culture, and can perform
more work with less evidence of fatigue
than when fed on any other article of
food.-FGrm, Field and Fireside.

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.
Representative Willis of Kentucky, Has
Hopes of Getting Action in the House on
This Important Measure.

Representative Willis of Kentucky, Has
Hopes of Getting Action in the House on
This Important Measure.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May p.
Mr.. Willis, of Kentucky, the author of
the House educational bill, hopes to get
that subject before the House for
its action this week. Now that the
bulk of the appropriation bills are
of the hands of the House, it is in
cliDed to turn its attention to some of the
more important measures before it,
which are for the good of the general
public. In fact, the leading members
recognize the necessity for doing some
thing. Almost six months of the session
have passed, and it is difficult to point out
any general measure of importance, aside
from the pleuro-pneumonia bill, and
one or two others of a general nature,
that have passed the House. The gen.
eral impression among the friends of the
educational bill is that 1t will not meet
with serious opposition at the House end
of the Capitol. 1t was pretty thoroughly
discussed i'll the Senate, and the Senate
put the bill in such shape as to give gen.
eral satisfaction. As amended by
the Senate, it is now very similar
TO the bill introduced in the House
by Mr.. Willis; SO it is proba-
BILE that Mr.. Willis will, when the bill
comes up in the House, move 10 substi-
tute the Senate bill for his own, in order
to lessen the complications which would
follow, should the House adopt its OWE
bill instead of the Senate's, and the pros
pect that the bill may become law seems
10 be very good.

Stellar Paranax.

In astronomy there is nothing so diff
ficult to determine as the parallax of
star. At such prodigious distance no
measurement can be made, as in the
case of determining the moons distance,
with the diameter of the earth as basis
for the triangle; nor can the aid of
another planet avail anything. as it does
in measuring the distance of the sun.
The worlds orbit alone, with its great
diameter of seventy million leagues,
can be used as medium of operations.
In the annual revolution of the earth she
finds herself at a given moment at
point of the orbit precisely opposite the
point she occupied six months previous
", and must traverse six months later.
From point to point the diameter of the
orbit, measuring upward of two hun
dred million miles, affords the base of
triangle for parallax measurements
triangle having the star at the summit.
The means of estimating the stars dis
lance is, therefore, to observe it minute
" for six months or year, and to de-
termine whether it remains apparently
fixed, or whether it appears slightly dis
placed by reason of the change in the
earth's position. If, at the close of the
wears observations, it still appears
fixed, it is because the star is situated at
a distance so incalculable that the
measurement base of two hundred and
twenty-five million miles are absolutely
nothing in comparison with that dis
lance. But if it appears to be displaced,
then it will be possible to determine the
tiny ellipse it makes annually, or rather,
appears to make, by reason of the
the stars of Heaven offer a parallax of
one second-that is, equal to an annual
movement of two seconds-the thick
ness of hair seen at distance of ten
yards. If the visible movement of
star were to be one second year,
it would only seem to have moved
over a distance equal to the one thou
sand eight hundred and sixtieth part of
the diameter of the suns visible disk
his disk seen with the naked eye. 1t
would be one thousand eight hun
dred and sixty years before that star
would seem to have moved distance
equal to the suns diameter. Yet the
stars are moving really with rapidity
oI MILLIONS Vi HliIeS per udy. AIcIuIuS,
for instance, travels distance of five
million four hundred thousand miles
every twenty-four hours. This will give
our readers some idea of the difficulty
of determining the parallax of a star.
Now, with the aid of photometrical and
heliOmetrical and other ingenius appli-
ances, astonishing measurements have
been made.-N Q. Times Democrat.

A TUNNEL DISASTER.

Tunnel Gives Way in Pennsylvania, Kill
ing and WOunding a Number of Men.
LIGONIEIs, PA, May 30.-Knupp's tun-
mel, Oh the South Pennsylvania road, was
the scene of terrible accident, by which
nine men were instantly killed and eleven
Others seriously injured, with slight hopes
of their recovery. A large force of men
were engaged in eXcavating i'll the tunnel
about nine feet from the main en-
trance, when the heavy scaffolding gave way
with the above appalling results. 1t is I'M
possible at present to learn the names of the
victims, but it is said they were principally
Italians. The bodies have all been recOv-
cred, and the Coroner'S inquest will be held.
Great excitement prevails at the scene of
the disaster. The underground work
of the tunnel was just begun and
they had not made much progress
when the accident occurred. The COW
erings were limestone and the roof timbered
over as the work progressed. 1t was
thought TO be secure, but the rocky sides
and coverings split and came down with
such force as TO crush the heavy timbers
and precipitate huge mass of earth on the
unfortunate men below. All available force
was put to work at once digging out
the crushed remains of the victims.
The scene is described AS heartrend-
ing as one after another OF
the mangled bodies were brought out and
laid OH the bank Six men were killed out
right, and two have since died. Five others
were seriously injured. The men killed
were all foreigners, with one exception.
Their names could not be learned, as the
tunnel is twenty miles from any railroad.

A Juryman StoIs a suit for Divorce by
Proving thu PLAINTIFF a Bieamist.

ATLANTA, GA, MAY ga peculiar case
was tried here-that Of Lucy Pitts VS..
George w. Pitts. The wife complained OF
the husbands neglect, failure to support,
etc The case was presented ex parte and
submitted to jury. After some consider
alton it was announced to the Court that the
jury could not agree. One of the jurymen
remarked to the Court: That woman
don't need any divorce, She has been mar
ried again for two years" This sensational
declaration resulted in Juror John Hoffman
being sworn in the case. He testified that
George Pitts married Lucy Martin in
Griffin, Tex, six years ago, and that after
keeping her here some six months she left
him because he insisted upon taking her to
disreputable places. She returned to heI
home, and about two years ago she remar-
ried. She came back to Atlanta and told
Mr.. Hoffman she was married again, and
he learned that her statement was true
This evidence upset the divorce case, and
Lucy will probably be looked after by the
State officers. What use she had for
formal divorce at this stage of the proceed
ingS is a decided cOnundrum.
