a student,n Clerer schome.

There was q rather popular, extravagant
young fellow, well known and well liked in
all sets, whose popularity led him frequently
into financial crises. He was the nephew Of
Mr.. Mortlock, the great Cambridge banker,
and also Of the Bishop of Ely. The relatives
did all they could-paid and paid until they
would pay no more, and at last desired him
to take his name off the boards. This he re.
fused to do, but adopted an unusual expedient
to have his debts paid.
He hired an apple stall and small tent,
placed them exactly opposite Mr.. Mortlocks
bank, with the inscription in large letters on
the stall; Fruit stall kept by Mr.. Mortlock,
nephew of Messrs. Mortlock, bankers, and OF
the right reverend the Lord Bishop of Ely
No change given" He passed the day seated
in the tent in magnificent velvet lined
cloak, books on the table; beside him there
was a plate TO receive donations, which
poured in-sovereigns and half sovereigns
abounded. AS there was room for two In
the tent, friends took it by turns to sit with
him. Mr.. Mortlock, the banker, could not
move out or even appear at the windows
without seeing crowd, whose sympathies
were all with the stallkeeper and who enjoyed
the joke immensely. The result was inevita-
bic. He had to be bought off, However, he
did not remain at college; the authorities
found an early excuse to get rid Of him.

The Use OF the Pyramids.

Nobody has ascertained the idea of the
pyramid builders, and until it is ascertained,
it is foolishness to condemn their folly. Those
structures-which, after all, have fulfilled
one end, having survived not only the people
which produced them, but even their ideas
may have been royal tombs, and, therefore,
useless expenditures of state strength; or they
may have been structures intended 10 record
through ages certain astronomical facts, in
which case they were evidences of wonderful
loftiness Of mind; or they may have been set
on foot only as palliatives for the social prob
lem Of the day-that is, as method Of find
ing work for multitudes of men who, because
the state had absorbed all the surplus wealth
of the cultiyating classes, could find no one to
pay them wages. Spectator.

There is good joke going the rounds on a
certain clergyman in Rochester, who is noted
quite as much for his absent mindedness on
occasions as for his general .piety. He was
called in by young couple whose home had
just been lightened by miniature representa-
tive of the mothers sex The happy parents
decided to have the christening at home. The
minister took the child in his arms and in his
kind, fatherly way addressed a few words of
advice to the young people.
"See that you train this child up in the
way that he should CO." he began. "Give
him the benefit of good example, and see
that he is surrounded by the very best influ.
ences. If you do this who knows but that he
may become Washington or Gen. Grants

An Exalted Throne.

The king of Italy has sent an envoy to King
Menelek, of Abyssinia, The envoy takes
with him colossal throne for the dusky po-
tentate. 1t is made Of carved and gilded
wood and is more than seven yards high.
His Abyssinian majesty will have to do about
five and twenty stairs of climbing to ascend
to bis new throne, and his apartments must
be tolerably lofty to accommodate SO airy a
perch. 1t is curious present, and do not
think King Humbert would care about
mounting so many steps to his own throne.
That reminds me that have had the honor
of sitting upon four thrones, and have ON
each occasion been struck by the fact that
they were-pd better not say uncomfortable,
or might be guilty of high easonl-but
certainty not as luxuriously easy as one of
ones own armchairs. / wonder why this is,
and also why crowns should be so heavy and
uncomfortable as rulel-Kathleen in Leeds

One would think that people would refrain
from introducing new and unique ideas into
funeral ceremonies, yet Newport, KY, has
done something in this way that is worthy of
note A woman died there, and between the
date of her demise and the day set for the
funeral the flood surrounded the house and
stretched to the graveyard hill some distance
away. But the funeral had been announced
and the projectors didn't propose TO dismiss
the audience on account of floods, so they got
lot of skiffs and rowed to the house. Then
the coffin was placed In one of them and the
procession formed, the marine hearSe leading
and the others following with quiet and de-
corous paddle strokes. 1t was the only fu-
neral cortege Of its kind the country has ever
known, and Newport is proud of her novelty.

On the high plateau of the Cumberland
mountains, al Pomona, Cumberland county,
Tenn, dwells an artist of rare skill, who years
ago lived in Nashville. In the forties his
brush was constantly busy with the portraits
of the leading people of that day. His ivory
miniatures were the perfection of the art.
His pictures of jackson and Clay were en-
graved and had an immense sale. In ls49, in
broken health, he went to the mountains and
established nurseries which became famous
for the finest apples. Fruits from Dodge's
orchards always won the premiums. With
health restored, he went to Brooklyn in 1851,
and thence TO Chicago. where he followed his
loved profession for years, but year ago the
love of the mountain brought him back to its
breezy uplands, and now Ia his SD year John
W. Dodge still paints with his old time skill
beautiful pictures, finished portraits, his eye
not dim nor his natural force abated. Nash

OTHER WORLDS THAN OURS.
Discoveries Concerning Sirius That Poiat
to That Belief.

| BY means OF the spectroscope very won
derful discovery has been made respecting
Sirius Astronomers had noticed that this
star was in rapid motion through space, as It
was found that year by year it was changing
its position In the heavens, traversing ia about
fifteen hundred years space equal TO the ap-
parent diameter OF the moon, at velocity of
no less than twenty miles per second. OF
course, by actual observation the only motion
capable of being detected would be that which
was square to the line of sight. 50 that al
though Sirius appears to us 10 move across
the heavens, he may really be travelling In a
slanting direction, either toward or from us.
No one would ever have expected TO be able to
tell whether astar was approaching to or reced-
ing from us, yet even this seemingly unsolvable
problem has Of late years been accomplished
by spectroscope. DIR. Huggins, our great
est authority on this subject, having identi-
fled certain lines in the spectrum of Sirius as
those Of hydrogen found on comparison that
these were displaced in such a manner as to
indicate that the star was recedng from us.
1t has been estimated that this recession,
combined with the thwart motion Of twenty
miles per second, gives us the actual move
ment of Sirius in space speed of about
thirty-three miles per second
These, then, constitute some of the chief
items of information about Sirius at present
within our knowledge.
There seems to be no reason to doubt that,
in common with other suns, he has his sys-
tenn of planets circling round him after the
manner Of our own sun; and what systeml
Vast as ours appears, it is dwarfed into in
significance compared with system whose
ruling orb is 5000 times larger than that
which does duty for us. There seems, also,
no reason 20 doubt that these planets are in
tended to be the abode of life; it maybe that
at the present moment none Of them present
any signs Of life, but think we may safely
infer without improbability that each one Of
those worlds has destined period in its de-
velopment during which life, similar to that
which now prevails on our planet, would be
in existence. What a world such a one would
be, in size perhaps not inferior to that of our
sun, himself million times larger than our
earth, and it may be that us this Siran world
is so vastly superior to ours in size, its inhab
itants would be on scale in proportion TO its
dimensions, race of beings of such intellect
and civilization compared with whom we are
but savages. Chambers journal.

IncreasIng the church Attendance.

One of the leading churches of the city has
adopted a novel method of increasing its at
tendance. Each Saturday evening a commit
tee of gentlemen visit the hotels and take
off a list of the guests who are domiciled there
over Sunday. A neatly printed invitation 10
attend service at the church is inclosed in an
envelope sealed up and directed to each of
these guests. These are left with the clerk
with directions TO place them in the boxes in
the morning. As each man comes down to
breakfast Sunday morning he finds a letter
for himself Opening it he discovers the in
vitation 1t excites his curiosity, and in many
cases the invitation is accepted. The plan
has been in operation short time only, but
thus far has been found TO work well.-Min-

A Clever Swindle.

A sharpswindler made collection of dimes
in Flint, Mich, the other day. He procured
a bundle Of old illustrated papers out of some
body's rag bag, and at the dinner hour when
some of the pToprietors or clerks were sure TO
be absent from each store, he made the round
of the business houses. Dashing into place
he would slap down a paper, yell Here's
your magazine; ten cents, please, and those
addressed, thinking some absentee had order
ed the paper, almost invariably paid the
Ledger.
