The zetetio Philosophy.

The Zetetic philosophy, which
proves absolutely and without a shad-
ow of doubt that the earth is a plane
and not a planet, has in it no theories,
but establishes its conclusions upon
facts alone. Many Of these facts are
of such a nature that hot to know all
about them will soon be deemed a sin
of ignorance.
The people should know that the
surface of standing water is level,
whether it be in the form of a pond, a
lake, a canal, a sea or an ocean, and
hat it makes no difference at ali how
many people, in consequence of false
teachings, believe it to be curved that
in no surveyors operations in the con-
structions of railroads, tunnels or "a
mails is any allowance made for the
curvature" of the earth's surface, al
though the books tell us that it is nee
essary; hal the view from a balloon
in the air is that of a flat earth, and
moi a globe; that the river Paraguay
in 300 miles does not fall a foot; that
for the last 500miles the Amazon falls
but ten feet six inches, and that the
Nile, in 1000 miles, falls but a foot.
Sailors a see the light at Cape
Hatteras forty miles out at sea, where
as OF the globe theory it ought to be
more than 900 feet below the level line
of sight; strain your eyes as you
please, you a never see a ship com
ing up" for, at the furthest distance
that you car by any means see, a
ship is on a level with the eye; the
horizon always rises on and on just as
you rise on; if the mariner were to
take a globe" with him with which
to navigate the ocean he would wreck
his ship; meridians are straight lines
diverging from the central north to-
ward the south in all directions hori-
zontally<''parallels of latitude" only
are circles-and ON a globe, the point
ing of a compass north and south is
clearly impossible; sailing westerly is
sailing round horizontally with the
north star on your right hand, and
sailing easterly is sailing in the
same horizontal mode, with the
north star on your left = and
all the money in the United States
treasury would not buy a proof
of SO much as the bare possibility of
sailing down a globe, under a globe,
and up the other sidel-Carpenter's

A stranr. Pennsylvania Accident.

We were the victim yesterday Of
n of the most distressing accidents
ever known in this territory, writes
the editor of the Mif1in Center Pa.)
Blade. Yesterday morning our wife
took occasion to do the family wash
ing, having been kept from It earlier
in the week by being very busy put
ting up our winter supply Of apple but
ter. Among other articles Of wear
ing apparel which she included in the
wash was our white vest, rightly
thinking that the white vest days were
about over, and intending to do it up
and lay it away against the return
of the next picnic season.
Now, u~nbeknown to her, in the
lower right hand pocket of this vest
there was a large roll of bills, twelve
ones and a two-$14 in all. She did
not discover the roll, and after having
washed the garment thoroughly she
hung it out on the line in the back
yard to dry. ALI might yet have been
well had it not been for Mr.. Ferden-
baugh's large brindle cow, which is
well known to most of our citizens.
While our wife was in the parlor
visiting with Mrs. Parmley, who call
ed to see how TO make her grape pre-
serves jell, this beast-she deserves no
better name-broke through our back
gate and deliberately ate up our vest,
money and ALI When our wife reach
cd the scene of trouble the beast was
just swallowing the last bill, with evil
dent relish.
Our wife seized the mop and rushed
at the marauding intruder, but she
only tossed her head, kicked sideways
with both hind feet, and leaping light
ly over the fence trotted off, switch
ing her tail defiantly. Neither the
vest nor the money, we are sorry to
say, seemed to have any bad effect on
her scoundrelly good health.
Our wife Immediately informed us
of the accident, and we instantly called
on Mr.. Ferdenbaugh and demanded
that the animal be slaughtered, doubt
ing not that we should find our money
In the first of that suite of stomachs
with which we learn from physiology
the COW is provided. This Mr.. Ferden-
baugh refused to assentto He pleaded
that he was a poor man, and, as he
had recently bought the COW, hat all
his ready money was in her. We nat
urally replied that all of our ready
money was in her, too, but it failed to
move him.
1t was a sad affair, take it all
around, but one about which nothing
cal be done. Our wife's excuse for
not looking in the pockets before she
began her laundry operations is that
she had gone through u pockets for
money for twenty years and never
found any, and had therefore become
discouraged. And, if the reader will

A Story of Mrs. chanIer.

Miss Amelie Rives had a host Of ad-
mirers when she lived in maiden medi-
Castle Hill, Va. She was q petted and
spoiled beauty and treated her lovers
with indifference and sometimes, it is
said, with absolute rudeness. Once,
according to one story, when q dozen
gentlemen called upon her in the
morning, she entered the parlor in a
bewitching riding habit, excused her
self, mounted her horse, rode an hour
or two, and finding the gentlemen
waiting for her on returning, she went
to her studio back Of the parlor and
unused herself by drawing caricatures
of her admirers, representing them
sitting in various attitudes Of idiotic
vacancy.-New York Telegram.
