Mrs. Harrison Saves her Bonnet

During the taking of the oath by the
President elect, General Harrison and the
Vice President remained standing and Mrs
Harrison was installed in the chair or sofa
oi state. Presently however, the drizzling
rain decided her % put on her waterproof
and the President turned from the review
to render her some gallant assistance-a
little domestic episode that again went to
the hearts Of the crowd. Gradually the
other ladies of the Presidents household,
Mrs Mckee aud Mrs Russell Harrison,
joined the party
The glorieS of their costumes were
eclipsed under maroon waterproof-, col
or peculiarly becoming to Mrs. Russell
Harrison. Mrs. Mckee, who sat by her
mother, had on black round hat faced
with red Mrs Russell Harrison wore a
love Of a white bonnet" but the rain was
no re>pecter Of persons, and presently the
Presidents wife began to be oblivious and
apprehensive as to the fate of her own
triumph of the modiste's art-the black
and gold marvel that was never intended
to defy the elements Mrs. Harrison
speedily produced large, white pocket
handkerchief, and proceeded 70 tie it over
her bonnet, an example that was soon fol
lowed by her daughter and daughter-in-
law Mrs. Mckee's black and red round
hat disappeared beneath mouchoir; Mrs.
Russell Harrsons splendid white bonnet
was similarly protected, and thanks to
these handkerchiefs. which ought BY right
to have been baDdanas, the head gear of
the ladies of the White House escaped to-
tai destruction.
Presently, however. the younger ladies
of the party retired discounted and Mrs.
Harrison alone remained, heroically shell
tering her face with the huge white bou-
quet, her yellow aigrette rising above the
white handkerchief that saved the bonnet
of the first lady of the land"

Yet the Earth did Move.
SOME OF THE ARGUMENTS USED AGAINST
GAIIIEO

SOME OF THE ARGUMENTS USED AGAINST
CALLED.
The most tremendous theological engine
against Calico was the idea that his pre-
tended discovery vitiated the whole Chris
tan plan of salvation. Father lie Care
declared that it cast suspicious on the doc
trine of the incarnation; Others declared
that it upset the whole basis of theology :;
that if the earth is a planet, and only one
among several planets il cannot be that any
such great things have been done especial
ly for it, as the christian doctrine teaches.
If there are other planets-since God makes
nothing in van-they must be inhabited :;
but how can these inhabitants be descend
ed from Adam? How can they trace back
their origin to Noah's ark? How can they
have been redeemed by the Savior?
In addition to this prodigious engine of
war, there was kept up terrific fire Of
smaller artillery in the shape of texts and
Scriptural extracts. Some samples of
these weapons may be of interest. When
Calico had discovered the four satellites
Of Jupiter it was denounced as impossible
and impious. 1t was argued that the bible
clearly shswed by all applicable types that
there could be only seven planets; that
this was proved by the seven golden candle
sticks of the Apocalypse, by the seven
branched candle-stcks of the Tabernacle,
and by the seven churches of Asia.
In letter to his friend Renieri Calico
gives sketch of some of the dealings of
the Inquistion with him. He says: THE
Father Commissary Lanclo was Jealous to
have me make amends for the scandal had
caused in sustaining the idea of the move
ment of the earth. To all my mathemati-
cal and other reasons he responded moth
ing but the words of Scripture, Terra
duten, in 9teraum stabit.' 1t was declared
that the doctrine was proved false by the
standing still of the sun for Joshua; by
the declarations that 'the foundations OF
the earth are fixed so firmly that they can
not be moved and that the sun 'runneth
about from one end Of heaven to the 9TH

of corpse. There was a badly ,,lacerated
wound near the right ear and fracture of
