FOUR BABES AT A BIRTH.
BENJAMIN Tubbs Beside Himself with
Grief and ii error.

Mrs. Charlotte Tubbs, of Caroline county.
Md, has driven her husband nearly crazy
by giving birth TO = quartet of bue-eyed,
red-iaced, bald.head babies, each weighing
from three to five pounds. Mr.. Benjamin
Tubbs would no doubt have been delight
ed at this family presentation but from
the fact that just sixteen months ago his
wife made him Christmas present of her
second pair of twins. One year previous
to that she gave birth TO son, and ten
months previous was the mother of twins.
All the twins and the quartet are girls,
and the only boy was the single birth.
Nine children in five years.
This is the maternal record of Mrs.
Tubbs, of Caroline county.
Nothing was thought OF the rapid in
crease in the Tubbs family until the last
quadruple addition, and now Tubbs is al
most beside himself. He could scarcely
support the five. and does not know what
to do with the nine. \ subscription has
beer taken up 10 get him and his family
better accommodations. Ii is remarkable
that the four babies lived, and from the
sound of their lung power and other
healthy indications they will all live to
keep the two pairs Of twins company.
Physicians from all the country round
have been to see the phenomena. The
mother is doing well. The babies were
born week ago. and the fourth was born
just live hours after the first.

There was never time when The
ncavens were studied by SO many aD'ateur
astronomers as at present. In every civil.
ICED country macy excellent telescopes are
owned and used, often 10 very good pur
pose, by persons who are not yet practical
astronomers. but who wish TO see for
themselves the marvels of the sky, and
who occasionally stumble upon something
that Is new even TO professional star
gazers. Yet. Notwithstanding this scliv.
lty In the cultivation OF astronomical
studies, it is probably safe TO assert that
hardly one person in hundred knows the
chief stars by name or can even recog
nizc the chief consultations, much less
distinguish the planets from the mixed
stars. And, Of course, they know nothing
of the intellectual pleasure that accom-
panies knowledge Of the stars. Modern
astronomy is rapidly and wonderfully
linking the earth and the sun together.
with all the orbs of space, in the bonds of
close physical relationship. so that person
of education and general intelligence can
eder no valid excuse for not knowing
where TO look for Sirius or Aldebaran, or
the Orion nebula, or the planet Jupiter.
AS Australia, New Zealand and the islands
of the sea are made part of the civilized
world through the expanding la
iluence of commerce and cultivation.
so the suns and planets around US are in o
certain sense falling under the dominion
of the restless and resistless mind Of man.
We have come TO possess vested intel
lcctual interests in Mars and Saturn. and
in the sun and all his'multitude of fellows,
which nobody can afford TO ignore. Per
haps one reason why the average educated
man or woman knows so little about the
starry heavens is because it is popularity
supposed that only the most powerful tele-
scopes and costly instruments Of the OBJ

them, No great stake could he made
1t does not require an optical instrument

Every year millions of dollars worth OF
the material resources of the country are
swept away by fire. This loss is an abso
lutte one. 1t can not be replaced nor re-

theless. with every fire the country at large
is poorer by the amount Of the loss
1t is only natural that the insurance com.
panies should, ut the present time, feel this
loss most severely, and should be continI-
ally trying new plans TO check IT, Their
experience has taught them that nearly all
fires can be traced to carelessness in one
form or another, that our iire-fghting ap.
planes need not much further improve.

best suited TO accomplish their purpose
