The Great Lick Telescope.

A very important event for the little
city of San Jose, Cal, is the completion
of the Lick observatory. This is the re.
suit of the generosity and the appreci,
alton of the benefits of science of James
Lick, one of the pioneers of California.
who died in 1876 at an advanced age.
He went to California in 1S47 with 9
small capital, and by investing it wisely
soon became, by the growth of San Fran
cisco and the development of the state. a
&anifold millionaire. In 1873, at the
age OF n, Mr.. Lick conceived the idea of
erecting an observatory and placing
therein the finest, as well as the largest,
telescope in the world. For this pur-
pose he donated 100000. After years
of preliminary work and detail the terms
of the gift have been completed and
Santa Clara county, Cal, is the location
OF the finest instrument ever made. The
great telescope is seventy-five feet long
and has thirty-siX inch refractor. AS
a fitting climax to this magnificent be-
quest, it may be stated that the body of
James Lick is deposited in the pier upon
which the iron framework of the great
telescope stands. Although known to
the world as cold, self contained and
exceedingly erratic man, Mr.. Lick has
left monument of his broad liberality
which is not exceeded by anything on the
face of the earth.-Detroit Free Press.

Use of Foreign Titles.

The intelligent foreigner is highly
amused at the ludicrous custom adopted
by some Of our 'leading" London papers
of giving the German title "Herr'' indis-
criminately to Teutonic, Slavonic and
even non-Aryan gentlemen. One finds
it natural that the une6ucated masses do
not know the difference between a
''Roossian" and ''Proossian;' but when
our leading lights fall into the same
error it is difficult not to smile at their
ignorance. Nobody will find fault with
any of our ''dailies'' for not securing the
services of Mezzofanti, but on the
other hand. they should try to hide their
want of knowledge, and not pose as
learned In matters of which they are
hopelessly ignorant. "Herr Tisza" or
Herr Ristich' looks exceedingly droll
in English print; ''Mons. Dragumis' per-
haps less SO. The rule which the papers
seem to wish to follow is to give every
gentleman his title. Well and good.
But in that case they should write, if
they wish to be polite, "Tisza ur." ''Pan
Ristich, "Kyrios Dragumis," etc., or
drop the title altogether if they do not
know it.-Notes and Queries.

The Seeds of Berries.

A curious phenomenon, generally rare,
and attributed to physiological idiosyn-
Grassy, has this year been quite general.
Thousands of persons have been mildly
poisoned by eating Strawberries The act
of eating fruit is fine art not generally
understood. Most people sit down to a
repletion of the first fresh fruit that they
can secure. When strawberries come
they gorge themselves on that fruit for a
month or more. There is no fruit that
does not carry with it q special danger if
over INDUCED in. The grape is probably
healthiest of all, if the seeds are discarded.
But berries have direct medicinal effect,
either laxative or astringent while the
seeds are irritants. The only conclusion
is that people should exercise common
sense about eating, that is if the common
sense be as plentiful as the fruit. Globe

Diphtheria from Pet Cats.

In a recent issue of The London SAM
tary Record read startling account of
the manner in which pet cat unques-
tionably communicated diphtheria from
one family to another with sad and fatal
results. A little boy was taken ill with
what ultimately turned out to be fatal
diphtheria. On the first day of the sick
ness, when the little fellow was taken
with nausea, the cat licked the vomit on
the floor. In few days, the little boy
having died, the cat was noticed to be
i'll, and her suffering being SO severe, and
so similar to those of the dead boy, the
owner had the animal killed. During its
illness the cat had been let out into the
barnyard of nights, as usual. A few
days later the cat of neighbor, also let
out at night, was noticed to be ill. The
second animal, which, however, recov-
cred, was the pet and playmate of four
little girls, who, grieved at its illness,
nursed it with great care. All four of
the little girls were seized with diphtheria
and died, and their mother is satisfied
that they got it from the cat. 1t is easy
to imagine how a cat can catch diphtheria
or other infectious diseases, when it il
remembered how often milk or other un
used food from the sick room is given tx
the cat or by some people thrown into
the back yard for the cats of the neigh
borhood. DR.. Frank j. Lutz in Globe.

The Isanc of the Dentists.

Neuralgia and assesses are the bane
of the dentists. Patients come to them
with their faces swollen to twice their
natural size and as sensitive to the touch
as a equity foot, and win insist upon
having the tooth taken out at once. They
are in misery and must have relief. In
vain the dentist assures them of the inn
possibility of an operation. They insist
and he protests. He dare not suggest
the idea of leaving the extra amount of
cheek in the office with him for a week
or until it subsidies, and so he probably
attempts lancing operation that may
be successful or otherwise, as the case
may be, but the patient is appeased, and
that is the chief result to be desired

Success of the Artist

The commonest error into which a
critic can fall is the remark we so often
hear that such and such an artists work
is careless and 'swould be better had
more labor been spent upon it." AS
often as not this is wholly untrue. AS
soon as the spectator can see that .smore
labor has been spent upon it, he NAV be
sure that the picture is to that extent in
complete and unfinished, while the look
of freshness that is inseparable from n
really successful picture would of neces-
sity be absent. If the high finish of a
picture is so apparent as immediately to
force itself upon the spectator he NAV
know that it is not as it should be; and
from the moment that the artist feels his
work is becoming a labor he may depend
upon it it will be without freshness. and
to that extent without the merit of a
true work of art. Work should always
look as though it had been done with
ease, however elaborate; what we see
should appear to have been done without
effort, whatever may be the agonies be-
meath the surface. NJ MISSIONER sur
passes all his predecessors, as well as all
his contemporaries, in the quality of high
finish, but what you seeis evidently done
easily and without labor.
remember Thackeray saying to me.
concerning a certain chapter in one of
his books that the critics agreed in ac-
cusing of carelessness, "Careless? If I've
written that chapter once I've written it
dozen times-and each time worse than
the lastp'-a proof that labor did not as
slst in his case. When an artist fails it
is not SO much from carelessness- do
his best is not only profitable to him, but
Joy. But it is not given to every man
not, indeed, to any-to succeed when
ever and however he tries. The best
painter that ever lived never entirely sue
ceeded more than four or five times: that
is to say, no artist ever painted more than
four or five masterpieces, however high
hisgeneral average may have been, for
such success depends on the coincidence,
not only of genius and inspiration, but of
health and mood and hundred other
mysterious contingencies John

a WASHINGTON dispatch says: An in
teresting chapter of the unwritten history
Of the late presidential campaign is going
the political rounds in this city. The cor
rectness of the story is vouched for by
several gentlemen who are personally cog
infant of the facts, and it furnishes a
better understanding of the indifference
with which Gen. Harrison regards the
wishes of the New York politicians.
About a month before the election Gen.
Harrison summoned every county com
mitteeman in Indiana to Indianapolis
The Democrats were making an agrees
i've campaign, with excellent prospects OF
carrying the state. Gen. Harrison was
naturally alarmed. He informed bis
visitors that the outlook was discouraging,
and that he had rather be defeated than
lose his own state. He dwelt with great
earnestness upon the fact that if Indiana
should go by default and he should owe
his election to New York, the politicians
of that commonwealth would boldly de-
mand everything in sight and make life a
burden to him until the close of his ad-
ministration. For this reason he besought
the committeeman to redouble their efforts
and by carry ing Indiana leave him indie
pendent OF New York. Gen. Harrison
calculated at that time upon securing the
electoral vote of Connecticut, which, To-
Gether with Indiana, would have elected
him. He did not secure Connecticut, us
the result proved, but he did succeed in
making West Vugiuia doubtful, which
was almost as much to the purpose. He
thinks, as most Republicans do, that the
party will win in 1892 without New
York, and Tor this reason it is said the
Empire state will have to be satisfied with
what she is given, and that this may be
much or little according as Gen. Harrison
may elect.
