The person who furnishes items to
a newspaper is always a valuable
friend to the editor. Many persons
hesitate about sending personal notes
to a newspaper regarding the move
ments of friends, lest the newspaper
man should think them too anxious
to see their name in print. He will
think nothing of the kind.

The Earth's Dash Into a Meteor stream

The earth is now passing through the
great stream OF me.eors which has caused
so many celebrated star showers in the
historic period. If we could get accurate
records of these November displays in
npcient times the myriads of meteors.
known as the Leonids. that have bonn
barled the earth would appear incredible
aud alarming. Happily for our planet, its
atmosphere, many miles deep, i%ntcrposes
over our heads an invisible shield which
but few of these heavenly bodies can PEN
citrate. The large majority of them IRE
melted and volatilized by heat developed
in the arrest of their motion by the air.
The earth will pass this time through
al attenunted part Of the meteor ring and
will not encounter its thickest part until
1899. While. therefore, no such star
shower as was seen Nov. 13, 1856, can be
now expected, meteors enough may be OBJ
served to show. that we are in the orbit of
the Lconids. If the weather is favorable a
large number of meteors may be counted
lndiating from the constellation Leo,
which rises about 8 p. m. The hest hours
for seeing what is to be seen will be after
midnight, when the moon sets.

horse. Few words were spoken, but many
blows were exchanged, and at last they
clinched and struggled with arms closely
locked. Both men were in imminent dan
ger of fallingtogether into the rock-bound
gorge, from the edge Of which their feet
were less thantwelve inches distant.
Neither of them saw Marie as she stole
up, drawn by some irresistible impulse.
But as, for nm instant, they loosened their
hold upon each other, she stepped behind
them and deliberately used her strength,
rendered extraordinary by excitement, to
throw her husband over the precipice. 1t
was no mistake or slip. 1t was broad day
light, and the had been q specta-
tor of the struggle for several moments.
She had perceived that for one or both
of the men certain death was close ut
hand. By interfering, she knew that she
could q one of them n terrible fate; SO
she saved the man she loved, and that
man was not her husband. As she had
once given up father, home, honor, and
peace of mind for the fellow Penrith, who
had shown no appreciation of her sacri-
flee, SO for his sake she became O mur-
deress, while he, without o word, mounted
his horse and rode quickly away.
Next morning o woman, weary, footsore.
heartbroken and almost dead, was found.

her and tried to bring her back to life.
But, old as I nm at the profession Of
healing, I have no cure for broken hearts,
apd in o week We buried poor Marie in q
grass-covered grave under one of the large
apple trees.
Even in rlast moments the dying girls
thoughts were all of Penrith. for it was
of Jean Coutellier's death-told solely
with the object Of shielding Penrith from
suspicion and possible punishment.
The strength of her love was Marie
Gamblers greatest weakness.

The trade in Christmas trees and green's
grows larger year by year. Thirty years
ago q Christmas tree was seldom seen ex.
cept in some home Of the richest class,
and the adornment Of churches for the
festival season a confined to the Catho-
lie and Episcopal denominations. But the
immense increase Of our German popula-
tion has popnlarized the Christmas tree
throughout the length and breadth Of the
land, and with the waning Of old Puritan
ideas the decoration Of the churches of all.
denominations has become customary.
The extent to which materials for these
purposes IRE required is shown by the fact
that a single dealer in New England last
year disposed of 10000 Christmas trees,
$4,000 yards Of wreathing, and 500 barrels
of evergreen spray. The smallest trees
that are sold bring, on the ground, ten
cents apiece. while the largest-twenty-6ve
to thirty feet in height-bring from 81 to
