The new asteroid discovered by DR..
Peters, of Hamilton College Observatory,
on the 25th Of August, may prove to be
the most interesting of the whole group.
The first computation of the orbit indi-
Gated that part of the path was inside the
planet orbit of the planet Mars. DR.. Peters
is making another computation from
later observations, and he thinks the path
may be outside that or Mars, but still near
enough to distinguish the new asteroid
as the nearest of all to the sun. In view
of the discovery, astronomers may be in
clined to adopt the view that the moons
of Mars were picked up by that planet
from the asteroids near his orbit, 1t is
possible that the earth picked up it's satel-
lite in the same way. The moon has the
appearance Of having received a heavy
blow which cracked h shell in every
direction from the crater Tycho. The
moon might have struck the earth in a
way to cause the fracture of the moons
she'll, which was afterwards cemented
again by the outflow of melted matter.
The lines Of apparent fracture are in
tensely white, like new matter pushed up
through the older portions of the moons
surface. The central point, or crater of
Tycho, is also intensely white. and is very

the effect of this situation be upon his

pendent and fearless? Is he not already
emancipated from the bondage of man,
and freed from the fear of man? AS the
world narrowS and shrinks, why should
not the freedom and the moral heroism
of heaven expand as his already received
heritage? 1t would seem that this ought
to be so, and that it ought TO bring a
sense of great happiness. A great many

higher life before they have done with

love and duty, and these pull both ways,

During the war, at a time of great de-
preston, it is said, writes Charles Dudley
Warner in HaYper's Magazine, that a
public meeting was called in Oneida
county, N. Y, for the purpose of stimu-
lating the war spirit. 1t was a matter of
| general notoriety at the time that there
was a decided political disagreement be-
tween Roscoe Conkling and his nephew,
Morris Miller, and they warmly opposed
each others views and measures. The
meeting was aroused for the more vigor-
Gus prosecution of the war. The speakers
We'd with each other in their devotion
and self-sacrifice. One speaker offered to
contribute a large sum of money, an
other and another offered an in
creased mount. An aged man arose
and with a broken voice declared
that he had n money to give, but that
he had a young son whom he would
dedicate to the service Of his country.
Another father arose and with tears in
his eyes pledged the same sacrifice.
The enthusiasm was at its height and
the house was carried away by the
spirit of self surrender, when Mr.. Miller
arose and eloquently expressed his de-
votion to the cause. II have" he said in
thrilling tones, mo money to give, but l
offer to my country my uncle, Roscoe
Conklingl' There was dead silence for a
moment, and then suppressed laughter,
and then a roar that shook the house.
Business was resumed, the speaking
went on, other pledges were made. But

break out in g litter. He offers his
uncle, Roscoe Conkling, " and the fancy
would tickle somebody else, until the
whole house was ~convulSed again and

Divorces in France.

The divorce law passed in France in
1884 seems to be operating with terrible
effect. In 1884 there were 1867 divorces;
in 1885, 4,123; in 1886, 1907; in 1887, 5,797.
But the most astounding statement made
is that in the department. of the Seine,
/. e., Paris and its neighborhood, there
are no fewer than 62.8 divorces to every
thousand marriages, or that considerably
more than one in twenty marriages (say
one in sixteen) ends in a divorce. On the
other hand, in the Finistere and the Cotes
du Nord not much more than in a thous-
and marriages ends in a divorce-a curl

In those countries of Northern Europe
where wooden houses prevail, it is CON
tended that, when properly built, wooden
dwellings are warmer. less damp and al
together healthier than houses of stone
or brick. DIR. Seymour, at the meeting
OF the Royal Asiatic Society of Japan, ex-
planned that the remarkably small infant
mortality in that country was due in a
great measure to the fact that the Japan
csc live in well built wooden houses.
1t is also noticed that those foreigners
living in Japan, who reside in brick and
stone houses are much more subject to
disease and illnesss than those who live
in wooden houses; it remains a longt ime
