The Grandest Instrument Gu Earth.

Professor George Davidson, Of the
United States geographical survey,
accompanied by several friends,
visited the Lick Observatory on Mount
Hamilton, Saturday evening, by inyi-
tation of Professor Holden. The
night was n splendid n for observation,
but owing to the fact that III persons
were Also on the mountain, it being yisi-
tors night, no length of time could be
spent at the great telescope, as that is al
ways the great attraction for visitors. IL
was the first peep through the 3G-inch re-
tractor that Professor Davidson enjoyed
since the completion of the observatory,
and TO say that he was pleased with the
experience is only half putting it.
''Yes, sir" he said the other day,
when spoken to about the matter, lit is
the greatest and grandest instrument on
earth. | am not at liberty to diynlge
lust now what | saw and what has
already been accomplished by the astron-
omers on Mount Hamilton. That glory
is for the astronomers themselves. and
when they do make public their discov-
cries, which / hope will be soon, it will
aStonish the astronomical world as much
as any one else. Some of the discover
les they have made are, in fact, so novel
and wonderful that Professor Holden and
his assistants are really timid about an
~nouncing them TO the world until they are
entirely satisfied that they really do exist
and are not illusions of some sort. I'M
portant discoveries have been made in
all of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES double
stars, planets. etc.-and questions which
have been subjects of doubt and specula-
ton for generations have been entirely
put at rest and accounted for. The te!e-
scope exceeds my most ~extrayagant hopes
and i~maginations, and the only way to
beat il is 10 build n bigger one, put it on
a higher mountain and in a clearer at
mospherc, all of which would be a diff
cult combination to get together. San

Cramp OF the Pianists.

Certain functional diseases OF the hand
and arm have been observed in pianists
by Mr.. Vivian Poore. THIS cramp Of
the pianists he estimates to be eight
times as common as the cramp of
writers; and he finds especially liable to
it those who practice with the wrist con-
tinually held rigid. The symptoms are
painful stiffness Of the shoulder and Of
the right arm, less frequently of the left
side, cramps Of the little finger and Of
the ring finger, sometimes with trem-
bling-this distressing condition often
persisting after exercise with the keys,
and being brought back by the least ex-
ertion of hand or fingers. Cold, seden-
tary habits, weakness and pre~disposition
to rheumatism and govt increase the La
bility to it.-Arkansaw Traveller.

Death and Burial In China.

When the Chinese wish to declare the
extreme v-eXatiousncss Of any piece Of
work they say: lit is more trouble than
a funeral;" the obsequies of a parent
being reckoned the most maddening
affair in human experience.
Infants are buried summarily, without
collins, and the young are inferred with
few rites; but the funeral of the aged, Of
both sexes, are elaborate in proportion to
the number Of the descendants and to
their wealth. When a childless married
man dies, his widow may perform all
the duties Of a son toward him, may re-
main in his house and may adopt children
to rear as his heirs and worshipers of the
family names If his widow proposes
marrying again, a young male relative
may, with the consent of senior members
of the clan, undertake the services ex-
pected from a son and inherit the estate
Of the deceased.
When one is about to die he is re-
moved from his couch to a bench or to
a mat on the floor because of a belief
that he who dies in a bed will carry the
bedstead as a burden into the next world.
He is washed in a new pot in warm
water in which a bundle of incense sticks
is merged. After the washing the poi
and the water are thrown away to-
gether. He is then arrayed in a full suit
of new clothing that he may appear in
hades at his best. He breathes his last
in the main room, before the largest door
Of the house, that the departing soul may
easily find its way out into the air. A
sheet Of spirit money, brown paper hav-
ing a patch Of gliding or one surface, is
laid over the upturned face, because it is
said that if the eyes are left uncovered
the corpse may count the lows of tiles in
the roof, and that in such case the
family could never build a more spacious
domicile. Adele NJ. Field in Popular
Science Monthly.

Noruay's Land and People.

The forest land in Norway is in extent
as compared with the arabic land as
thirty TO one. OF course the expectation
of timber is n Of the chief resources Of
the country, but the woods are well pre-
served, a forester resides in every district,
aud no waste or destruction'of such valu-
able possessions is allowed, as has I'M
fortunately taken place in America. The
land that is cultivated, except in a few
favored spots, seems poor, and the people
themselves have, evidently, few Of the
luxuries Of life. There are not many
villages, Norway differing from Sweden
IN that respect; the farmhOuses are scat
tered, and the dwellings Of the peasants
are usually small wooden huts, and often
are ruinous.
But, though poverty is great, there is
no beggary. We have never been inn
portuned for aims, nor have fees been ex-
pected for triiling services, as in Italy or
the rural districts Of England. The peo-
pie have a somewhat sad, or rather a
subdued look, such as solitude often gives.
The women, with handkerchiefs pinned
over their heads, hook at US with grave
eyes. The little white haired children
never shout after the passing carriage, or
play monkey tricks to earn a cent. They
are a gentle and quiet race, civil and
pleasant spoken, but not jolly and talka-
tive like the Germans. Their voices are
Of a peculiar melody-a musical rise and
fall in the pronunciation of their words,

A Popular summer Fashion.

That suitable garment for a tropical
climate-the light wooden shirts fast
making itself popular in our tropical
summer weather. But the mandate Of
foshion still Is that the wooden shirt is

needed, A gentlemanly dress will never

flannel shirt is certainly less offensive
than the sweat soaked handkerchief
with which the wearers OF Numbered

once a glossy and heat inclosing collar.

rnttenlnc the Goose. Liver.

Little does the over fed sybarite know
what cruelty is often p~racticed SO that
his dainty palate may be sufficiently
tickled. Harper's Bazaar has this to say
concerning pate dc foie gras: Every
body knows that the pate de foie gras Of
Strasburg is the best in the world, but
very few Of us have more than a vague
idea of the methods employed for enlarg-
ing the livers Of the geese from which it
Is made. Now the liver Of the goose so
trained if we may use the expression,
Is twelve times as large as nature in
tended il 10 be. In order TO obtain this
result the unfortunate geese are sub
iected TO torments unknown even to the
early Christians. The first thing done is
TO nail the feet of the geese fast to
planks. so that they may not arrest the
desired tumefaction Of the liver by even
the slightest movement. Secondly, their
eyes are put out, that no glimpse of the
world they have left ,may disturb them.
Finally, they are crammed with nuts, a
delicacy Of which they are extremely
fond, but they are not allowed TO drink
a drop of water, although they suffer
such tortures from thirst that they utter
piercing cries of agony. The Epoch.

Ianrhter Indicative Of Character.

An authority on lau ghter says: 1t has
been observed that laughter is indicative

laugh in a broad latin "a" are open
hearted, honest people, fond OF noisy jo-

Excessive jerking laughter, however, is
an evidence of vulgarity. Those laugh
ing in a dry "a" are respectable, but
little expansive, and a hard lot of people.

Following I'D Their Patrons.

The custom among business firms Of
following their patrons TO different re-
sorts is gaining rapidly. Dress goods and
imported costumes are now exhibited in
hotel parlors; embroidery and all devices
in fancy work are spread upon hotel
tables, and the city dealer in fancy wares
has become a dangerous rival to Indians
with their stock of gay baskets. 1t is
said that modistes sometimes follow de-
lnquent customers to the resorts on dun
ming bent; m%anicures have become a part
of all fashionable hotels. aud others make
the most Of summer marts, and often
gain much profit from their enterprises.
