How did you know my. manner"
asked John Henry as soon as he was
comfortably seated.
81 know the name of every one
who comes to my domain-not only
that but everything about him; thus
your history is like an open book to
me. IT'S not for naught I have q
private seer"
''The Deuce" muttered John Henry
under his breath. He didn't quite
like the idea that this foreign poten-
tate should know all about his past
record. Then he added, aloud: "If
you know all about me it is but fair
that you should tell me something
about yourself. Who are you any
way?"
81 am the last descendant of the
Aztecs who in times long past did
rule this country's vast expanse from
isthmus to the Horn. They long
have passed away, and alone re-
main. O-wha-ta-faik my parents
called me, and the Patagons did
choose me to control their destinies.
I am their queen, beloved as such,
obeyed without a murmur; yet, with
al, my life is lonely, since there's none
who'll take me to his heart and make
of me his welded wife.
'Those Patagons are a pack OF
FOOLS" angrily replied John Henry.
'None of them wants to marry a
beautiful queen, who converses in
blank verse? / don't understand it. :"
"Ah, no, you cannot understand;
your notions are so different from
ours. Among your people none
would have chance to wed whose
feet were cen but half SO large as
those of our women. So with us the
opposite is true"
-''It seems to e.yourfe feet are ofgen-
erous size, Queen"
eyes, yes, as you regard it,"
John Henry pondered a moment
as though revolving an idea. AS
with sudden resolve he blurted
out:
"Queen, since no one else will have
you, suppose you bestow yourself on
me. / have known you but few
minutes, yet already l love you
right well. True, your feet are @
trifie larger than we consider the
right thing, but we might go to
Chicago to live; there no one would
notice anything strange"
II know full well that it would
come to this, that you would thus
propose to me. / do accept, but
know that can never leave my ma
tive land; here must l live and die;
our customs and our laws do so Or
dain. Stay here with me and help
me reign; twill be an easy task, and
this, our country, is not SO bad when
once you've learned it's ways"
"By jove, Queen, you offer is not
half bad; l will stay"
"'Tis well. Ho, there! he vassals,
go without and spread the joyous
news. O-wha-ta-faik has found a
spouse. Now haste, prepare the mar
riage feast"
"And my COMPREHENSIVE OF

"They shall return again to their
respective home, or else be made

HOW 1T HAPPENED

I got to thinkin' Other, both her parents
And all her sisters married of, and none but
but her and John
Alvin all alone there in that lonesome sort
of way,
And him blamed old bachelor, confrmder
every day.
dy from the time
He settled in the neighborhood and hadn't
airy dime
Err dollar, when he married, for to start
housekeepin' on;
So got to thinkin' of her, both her parents
dead and gone!
got to thinkin' of her and a-wondern what
she done
That all her sisters KEEP gittin married one
by one,
And her without no chances, and the best
girl of the pack,
An old maid, with her hands, you might say,
tied behind her back
And mother, too, before she died, she used to
jes take on
When none of 'em was left, you know, but
Evaline and John,
And jes' declare to goodness 'at the young
men must be bline
To see what wife they'd git if they got
Evaline.
got to thinkin' of her; in my great affection
she
Was SIGH a comfort to us, and SO kind and
neighborly;
She'd come and leave her Homework fer to
hep out little Jane,
And talk of her own mother at she'd never
see again:
Maybe sometimes cry together, though, Tor
the most part, she
Would have the child so reconciled, and hap
py like, at we
Felt ionesomer'n ever; she'd put her bonnet
And say she'd rally hat to be a-gittin back
TO John!
got to thinkin' of her, as I say; and more
and more
I'd think of her dependence, and the burdens
t she bore;
Her parents both abein' dead, and all her
sisters gone
And married off, and her Twin there alone
with John;
You might say jes' toilin' and a-slavin' out
her life
For man at hadn't pride enough to get
hisself wife,
Less some one married Eyaline end packed
her off some day;
So got to thinkin' of her, and it happened
that away.

The Suns Energy.

The most satisfactory way of ar
irving at an idea of the enormous
energy ofthe sun is by measuring the
amount of heat which his rays are
capable of generating; and further,
by our knowledge of the relation
which exists between heat and me-
chanical work, we are able at once to
estimate the amount of work which
the sun is capable of doing, and also
the quantity of energy he must be
losing year by year. By suitable ar
rangements we can cause certain
quantity of his radiation to be alb
sorbed by water or other substance,
and note the rise of temperature
which results, and as we know the
mechanical equivalent of each degree
of temperature in water, for instance,
it is only matter of calculation to
arrive at a knowledge of the suns
total energy. Like everything else
connected with this wonderful body,
figures gives us, says the Scotsman,
no adequate conception ofhis energy,
and various Illustrations have been
used by different investigators. Thus,
Hershel considered it in relation to
the quantity of ice which it would
melt in a given time, and states that
the amount of heat which the earth
receives when the sun is overhead
would melt an inch thickness of ice
in two hours and thirteen
minutes. From this it
can be calculated that if
the body of the sun were entirely sur
rounded by sheet of ice on it's sur
face of more than a mile in thickness,
the suns heat would entirely melt
this coating of ice in the same time
namely, two hours and thirteen min
utes. Prof. Young uses and even
more striking illustration. He says:
eff we could build up a solid column
of ice from the earth to the sun, two
miles and a quarter in diameter,
spanning the inconceivable abyss OF
ninety three million miles, and if the
sun should concentrate his power up
on it, it would dissolve and melt. not
in an hour, not in a minute, but in a
single second; one swing of the pen
dulum and it would be water, seven
more and it would be dissipated in
vapor." OF course, of this enormous
quantity of heat the earth receives
but a very small fraction. The re-
mainder, except, of course, what the
other planets receive, passes away in
to space and is lost forever, so far as
can be ascertained, to the solar sys-
TEN. If FIVE estimate in mechanical
power what we do receive, we find
this to be on each square foot of sur
face equivalent, on an average, to
about fifty tons raised mile high
yearly, or to one-horse power con-
tinuously acting, to every thirty
square feet of the earth's surface. 1t
is by this enormous supply of energy
that the whole world is kept alive
and active. 1t keeps us warm and
drives our steam engine and water
wheels, it circulates our atmosphere
and brings us rain and snow in due
season; it grows and nourishes our
plants and animals, and, in word, is
the source of almost every earthly
blessing.

Chicago urs) Arkansaw Traveller. July It'll.
Had shoemakers always followed the
old ailage ''stick to your last" and had
tailors likewise ''stuck to the goose, F"
the world would have lost many a
statesman, philosopher, inventor, author
and poet The unsatisfied mind of man
has, however, in>every age and country,
caused them to break away from their
arduous and often i'll paid toll, to sue
cessfully embark in trade or specula-
ton and sometimes in science, art or
literature. F. W. Lebin, Swedish
tailor, of Chicago, is one of these.
Some six weeks ago he was told by q
friend of the great drawing soon to take
place in The Louisiana State Lottery
and invested in small way. His ven
ture proved successful his name being
attached to one of the capital prizes.
To confirm the report that Mr.. Lehin
held winning ticket in the June draw
ing of this enterprise, Traveller repre-
sentative called on him at his residence,
GIT Northwestern avenue. He was
found, surrounded by his wife and six
bright, healthy looking children, sitting
upon his table in true tailor style, busy
with his needle. In answer to an in
qrliry as to the truth of the report OF
his good fortune he replied: eyes, ]
held leo of ticket No. 71,678 in The
Louisiana State Lottery, which drew on
June 10 the second capital prize OF
100000. As soon as 1 learned of my
good fortune I forwarded my ticket to
the managers at New Orleans and the
money came at once by express. l took
it from the express Office directly to the
bank where it is still deposited. l am
going to buy me lot somewhere in the
suburbs of the city where [ can have q
garden and grass plot for the children
to play on, build me nice little home
and try and enjoy life. I shall keeI
right on working at my trade and send
my children to school. With home
of my own and no rent to pay l may
soon save enough from my earnings to
go into business for myself" Mr.. LIE
bin is but thirty years of age, and the
start his luck gives him, coupled with
his own industry and good sense will
doubtless make him one day leading
business man of Chicago.

Those desiring to visit Cincinnati and
the Centennial exposition during the
hundred days festivities, beginning
July 4, should bear in mind that De-
partment of Information has been es-
tablished, to which all inquiries per-
tanning to rates of transportation, board,
and such other matters, should be di-
rected for sure and speedy answer.
The exposition will not only afford a
practical review If the progress of the
last century, but will also afford many
features of acknowledged interest in adj
dition. The Electric Display, the Con
dolas, the Fountains, the Music Hall
entertainments, dramatic, spectacular,
musical, operate, literary, and other at
fractions are, any one, worth the price
of admission to the whole exposition,
including everything.

Weather Prophets.
From the Toronto Mail.

The prediction that the present
summer would be a cooler one was
on the verge of verifcation when the
hot spell set in. Now the scientist
say it is going to be terribly hot, anG
they give as their reason the theory
that heat follows the practice ofharC
times and comes at regular intervals
The summer of 1867, 1874, and 1881
were unusually warm, and if excessive
heat really presents itself every sever
years 1883 should be a scorcher. II
is wonderful how easy it is to argue
in favor of any kind of weather.
