The Wonders Of the Sun.

The lecture-room of the Catholic Uni
versity was completely darkencd Friday
afternoon of last week to show to good
advantage the stereopticon views with
which Professor Searle's lecture on the
physical constitution of the sun was
illustrated.
The professor described the method
of computing the suns parallax and tho
distances of the planets Among other
interesting figures, he stated that an ex-
press train going at the rate of fifty
miles an hour would need 200 years to
traverse the distance between the earth
and the sun ; and if one of our ocean
racers had starred from the sun at the
same time when Columbus set out on
his famous voyage it would not be here
yet. 1t takes light, which travels 1885,
600 miles minute, over eight minutes
to get here from the sun, and 10 all our
calculations that allowance must DO
made. The surface of the sun is 80
large that it the earth could be spread
out upon it it would occupy spaco no
larger, relatively to the whole, than
territory twice the size Of the State of
Massachusetts would upon the earth's
surface, The earth in going round the
sun travels | $3.50, 600, 900 miles, or 1854
miles every second. He showed how,
that by measuring the amount of Tho
attraction exercised upon the earth by
the sun, the density Of the latter had
been calculated to be one-fourth as great
as that of the earth

pink low down on the waters edge, a
roar like coming storm was heard. the
mutterlng of mems voices and oaths Of
vengeance Mounted on his grey horse
came old Firth from the mills, pistol 10
hand, with posse of constables about
him. After him tramped the mill hands,
and among them rode young Firth, with
bandage on his head, mounted on
King and no other horse in creation.
For King, with more sense than some
men have, had saved his master taking
him by his clothes with his teeth, until,
his senses returning, he was able to
cling to his name, and so, with Gods
grace, the two gained land together, and
the boy told his story
They arrested the men, with their
emptied bags and bits of iron, giving
evidence of their reason for the attack.
But, after all, it was King who had ven-
geance on them for Bryan died of the
bite on his arm, and Peter of the kick
he got both ending in modification.
And the whole story is but another proof
that Satan is a treacherous friend even to

A Congressman Cwhosc name is known,

stole the fine, high, shiny, silk hat Of
Mr.. Smith d. Fry, the versatile corre-
spondent, at committee meeting. Mr..
Fry needs that kind of hat in his busi-
ness, and went into an F-street store to
buy another carly yesterday morning.
He made several trials and at last seemed
suited with glossy $S beaver, when he
spoke to the clerk, "You mako allow
ances for the cloth, do you not ?"
The clerk glanced doubtingly at the
trim Boulangcr beard aud genial nose of
his customer, but was in moment re-
assured when he felt the pious depths of
those benevolent eyes.
'Yes, sir" said he, 1--WE allow one
dollar off to clergymen. You may have
tho hat for seven dollars"
Thank you," was Mr.. Fry's mild
and gentle acknowledgment; "but don't
you think the hat just triae too fly
ahem, too fashionable, as it were too
stylish, 50 to speak. My brethren might
disapprove. "
"Oh, not at all, !" the clerk was prompt
to say. at looks very sedate, very be-
coming"
"Ah, well, | will take it at all hazards
sighed Mr.. Fry, counting out the seven
requisite bills, land if my congregation
don't like the hat they can go to HI"
The clerk swooned, and Mr.. Fry paid
cigar bill in the next block with the
remark, That dollar won up street

How to Get Along Well.

Pay as you go.
Never "fool" in business matters.
Do not kick every one in your path.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times.
Don't stop to tell stories in business
hours.
Have order, system, regularity and
promptness.
Use your own brains rather than those
Of others.
Dot not meddle with business you
know nothing Of.
A man of honor respects his word or
he does his bond
No man can get rich by sitting around
stores and saloons.
If you have place of business, be
found there when wanted.
Learn to say no. No necessity of
swapping it out dog fashion, but say il
firmly and respectfully.
Help others when you can, but never
give what you cannot afford to, simply
because it is fashionable.

UNTIL TOMORROW.

If you have task to do,
That seems as ii you'd n'er get through
Believe me, that the wisest way
Is to begin the task to-day
If you have word unsaid,
Spoken, would make one comforted,
Go find that one, and say il straight,
II is word that cannot wait.
If you can do u kindly deed,
Can heal the sick or hungry feed,
Do not leave the deed undone
Until you see to-morrow's sun.
But angry word, and selfish way,
Are best put off another day,
And then another day again,
Postpone what gives another pain,
So keep the hasty speeches down,
And make smile chase back the Irown
