with the transit instrument observe
the exact place of the star at that time,
and the hair line in the transit tele-
scope is used to mark the places on
the ground which are in exact north
and south direction. Or we may note
the passage of the star along the east
ern or the western side of circle and
with the transit instrument mark the
corresponding point on the ground,
and by turning the instrument on its
graduated circle the number of degrees
and minutes of the distance of the
star from the centre of the circle find
the centre, and that is the true north.
The latter is the last method unless
one is very sure of the precise local
time and was used in the final location
of the pins on the stones in the acade-
my yard.
1t will be seen from this that if the
stones are let alone and the geological
terrace of st. Johnsbury plain lies as
quiet as it has for the last few thousand
years and no unexpected Charleston
earthquake disturbs its serenity for
the next hundred thousand years our
meridian line will be as true as now
through all the rotations, revolutions
and gyratiOns of the earth which we
know anything about, to say nothing
of such trivial and evanescent phe-
nomena as the march of history or the
evolution of species.

What is Dirt Anyway {?

A good ash floor, properly laid, will
cost less in fifty years of wear than
the carpets that are bought to cover a
cheaper floor. But | suspect the car
pet item in this estimate must be that
of health. In our old carpets, in spite
of good housekeeping, Turk the germs
of the diseases that from time to time
render the house SO sad and homeless.
What is dirt anyway The queerest
stuff imaginable. Should you burn it
in the passage, it's candescence would
show with the spectrOscOpe lines indi
eating almost all known substances.
The iron lines would indicate the wear
from the nails in your shoes. The car
bon lines would come from the coal
dust, and the yellow salt lines would
only show that chloride of sodium is
always present erywhere. But when
you have old wall papers or old car
pets, you can be sure that some of this
is several generations old :; and if
there be not some bacteria of bad
sort, and germs of old fevers with all
the rest, | shall be surprised Globe

A Better Man.

Speaking of the late Thomas j. Pot
ter, the Chicago Times says, that when
the Vanderbilt lines wanted him as
general manager of the "Bee," it was
supposed by many that it was the ulti-
mate intention to make him in time,
the chief executive of the entire Van
derbilt system. 1t is said that John
Newell, president of the Lake Shore
road, conducted the negotiations, and
the following interview took place i:
"Mr. Newell--"Mr. Potter, the Van
derbilts want you as general manager.
What will you go for 7" Mr.. Potter,
(unhesitatingly)-"Forty thousand dol
lars year and full power to do as L
please" Mr.. Newell-"Whati Forty
thousand dollars a year. Why, that
is more than L get as president of the
Lake Shore !" Mr.. Potter-(again un-
hesitatingly) Well, that may be, but
then, you know, am a better man."

Blind In an Instant.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

A catastrophe such as few men have
the stOicism to bear and few survive
has come like thunderbOlt upon Chas.
Cullman of No. 50 Browne street. Last
Saturday night, while auditing the
books of the Bellevue Building associa-
ton, at their rooms OH McMicken ave
nue., he turned suddenly to one of the
by ISLANDERS and angrily exclaimed
"Why do you turn out the gas ? Pm
not through yet"
"Turn out the gas! What's the mat
ter with your The gas is burning"
"My God, then Pm blindw cried
Cullman, and sinking back in his chair,
ment, he buried his face in his hands
and mOaned and wept like child.
DIR. Schwartmeyer his regular physi
clan, was hastily sent for, and only ar
rived to confirm the worst fears. Gull
mOnitOry sign, without a warming, the
blow had come, and as he sat there be-
moaning his sad fate, eyes grew dim.
Friends took him by the hand and
trembled with emotion as they tried to
speak words of hope and comfort. The
stricken man only moaned: "My wife
My little ones !"
A diagnosis followed, and it was dis
covered that Cullman had for some
time been a sufferer from Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys. The exudations
of the albumen from these organs caus-
ed uramic blood poisoning, which
gradually pervaded the whole system
of the sufferer. Step by step the dis
ease spread, and contraction of the kid
neys followed, resulting in intlamma-
ton of the retina or optic nerve, hope
lessly destroying the sight forever
The case, although an isolated one, is
extremely rare, death generally ensu-
ing before such crisis arrives.

Temperance I'm Eating
Good housekeeping.

The vice of inOrdinate liquor drink
ing is open and above-board and its
evils are so palpable that any one may
see them. Overeating, on the other
hand, is accompanied by evils that
none but the sufferers and their physi-
clans know much about. Some years
ago no less authority than Sir Henry
Thompson declared that he had been
compelled by the facts constantly COM
ing before him to accept the conclusion
that more mischief in the form of act
ual disease, of impaired vigor and of
shortened life, has occurred to civiliZ
ed man from erroneous habits in eat
ing than from the habitual use of alcO-
hOlic drink, considerable as he knew
that evil to be. He also declared him
self in doubt whether improper and in
ordinate eating were not as great a
moral evil as inordinate drinking.
The fabricatOrs of our food have much
indeed to answer for. They make di-
gestible raw material into indigestible
finished products and we eat them and
suffer. But the cooks are not to blame.
People eat more than they should and
they eat what is agreeable to their pal
ates, knowing that it will not be rel
ished by their stOmachs.
The habit of Overeating is common
ly made in childhood, when ignorance
and sensation override moderation of
appetite and reasonable caution. The
child should be restricted to the food
that it naturally needs and should not
be allowed to make hog of itself.
When the growth is attained and the
system no longer easily eliminates the
waste material not necessary for the
ordinary purposes of repair, then the
body begins to store up fat beyond
what is of use and Tags out the muscles
in carrying it around or, if there is no
fattening with Overeating, there are
dyspepsia, fevers, govt, rheumatism,
biliOusness and other ills. A temper
ance organization which should lay
down as its fundamental law absti-
enence from excessive eating would do
away with the greater part of the or
binary sickness among persons who
live up to the law.

How Neal Dow Interpreted an Order.

There was once an occasion in which
Neal Dow was a very noticeable figure.
1t was early in the war. His army
corps had been brought up, preparato-
~ to forming for battle. General Dow
was one OF party of lesser officers
who had been called around the corps
commander for instructions. He was,
as one of the boys said, all hat, boots
and sword. He was very small man,
and wore a hat with an enormous brim,
a pair of boots that tapped above the
knee, and a sword that changed on the
ground away behind him.
General Dow" said the command
er, 81 want you to go to that little hill
lock to the left, and take a position
facing that line of woods"
"NOw, general 7" asked Dow.
"At once"
In a moment the army saw little
General Dow tramping off toward the
hillock alone, and word was passed
along explaining the mistake he had
made. The shouts of laughter attract
sent an orderly after General Dow.
When the little man returned, the
commander asked:
General Dow, what did you under
stand me to direct you to do Z"
''TO take a position on that hillOck
facing the woods, SIR"
"And did you think meant to send
you there alone 2"
Certainly, sir. did not hear you
say any body was to go with me-"
The commander kindly set him right,
and General Dow finally took his com
mand to the hillock, but the boys in
the corps never got through laughing
and talking about the time ''Little
Neal Dow" set out alone to hold the
hillock against the rebel army."-[Chi

Permanence of the Meridian Line.

Prof S. III. Bracket
The question has been asked and
may have occurred to others, Is me-
ridian line once established to be al
ways correct, or is there liability that
what is now true north and south di-
rectiOn will not always be true
Doubtless this thought may be con-
nected with the knowledge of the fact
that the north star is not always to be
in its present position. l purpose
showing the relation between these
two things.
The north star is only approximate
" the true north pole of the heavens,
10 IL from the trne north pole. This
pole of the heavens is located by the
direction in which the axis of the earth
points and the earth itself is making a
motion in space resembling that of a
webbing top and it occupies about
$4,000 years in completing one gyra-
ton. So the pole of the heavens is
shifting among the stars and Is now
coming nearer the north star and will
continue to do so for about 200 years
and in about 10, 600 years it will be in
the constellation Hercules, not far
from the bright star Vega in Lyra.
But this has nothing to do with our
determination of direction on the sur
face of the earth. This is done by an
observation usually of the north star
because of some special cOnveniences,
bat the observation may as correctly
be made on any star or even on the
sun by day time. With the instru-
msntal cOnvenienees and the tables of
an astronomical observatory the work
would readily be done by other than
by the north star. The star seems to
describe circle in the heavens and in
doing so must pass the meridian twice
In the "a hours. By reference to the
proper tables we find the time of this
passage, the transit it is called, and

Warning Against Hair Dyes.

The Ann 'rican Analyst comes 10 the front
to warn the women against the use of hair
dyes, to probes the delicate golden shade
50 much admin,d by the court circles of
Europe and the Righ society Of the United
States" Tho three constituents Of the nos
trums used to produce this shade Of color are
peroxide of hydrogen, aqua regia and bronx
ers' acid. The first is the most harmless, but
it produces sores on the scalp and gives rise
to skin complaints. The acids attack and
burn the hair as well as the skin. "They
cause in time disease like the itch and pro-
duce Inflammation of the hair cells" This
leads to discharges Of the scalp Of lymph and
blood. On the whole, perhaps, the women
had better turn to some other hobby and get
on without the delicate gold shade" Of hair.

man wanted the senator to introduce in con-

kind to prohibit the use of corsets. He ex-
pressed the belief that corsets were soul de-
stroying as well as physically injurious. He
thought that the women Of America were
being ruined physically and morally by their
use. He thought that congress ought to take
steps to abolish the corset. The senator has
