Diana Dart was feeding the little

to be turned out of Valleythrope.
And then he related all the particu-

Am l to go?" said he, quietly.
Diana's shadowy. black-lashed eyes
followed the little goslings as they
vanished like balls of downy gold into
the tall southern-wood bushes along
the picket fence.
No" said she. why should you
go? Valleythrope is your own"

INJURED Diana in a still lower voice,

persists to this day that there was a
genuine ghost in the laburnum walk

cred its message from the other

Rapidity of Movements.

The writing of shorthand has often
been mentioned as wonderful in
stance of the way in which varied
faculties of the mind and body can be
brought into play at the same moment,
but NJ. Fere. in his work on the rela-
tions OF sensation and movement and
kindred topics, shows that the playing
ical and mental rapldity and versa
tility, is still more remarkable. A
pianist in playing presto of Mendels-
sohn, played $685. notes in four min
uteS and three seconds. The striking
of each of these notes involved at least
two movements OF the finger and pos
sibly more, and the movements of the
wrists, elbows and arms can scarcely
be less than one movement for each
note. AS twenty-four notes were
played each second, and each Involves
three movements, the result would be
seyenty-two voluntary movements per
second. Again. the place, the force,
the time and the dur ton OF each Of
these movements was controlled. All
these motor reactions were conditioned
on knowledge of the position of each
finger OF each hand before it was
moved, while moving it. as we'll as OF
the auditory effect in force and pitch,
all of which involves at least equally
rapid sensory transmissions. If to do
this we add the work Of the memory in
placing the notes in their proper posi-
ton. as we'll as the fact that the per-
former participates at the same time
in the emotions the selection describes,
and feels the strength and weakness
of the performance, we arrive at a
truly bewildering network of afferent
and efferent impulses, coursing along
at inconceivably rapid rates,

A small body, perhaps as large as a
paving stone or larger, more often
perhaps not so large as marble, is
moving round the sun. just as a
mighty planet revolves in an eclipse,
so this small object will move round
and round in an eclipse, with the sun
in a focus. There are at the pres
ent moment inconceivable myriads of
such meteors moving in this manner.
They are too small and too distant for
our telescopes, and we can never see
them except under extraordinary cir
cumstances. At the time we see the
meteor it is usually moving with enor-
nous velocity, so that it often traverses
a distance of more than twenty miles
in a second of time. Such a velocity
is almost impossible near the earth's
surface; the resistance of the air would
prevent it.
Aloft, in the emptiness of space,
there is no air to resist the meteor. 1t
must have been moving round and
round the sun for thousands. perhaps
for millions of years, without let or
hindrance; but the supreme moment
arrives and the meteor perishes in a
streak of splendor. In the course of
its wanderings the body comes near
the earth, and within few hundred
miles of its surface. of course, begins
to encounter the upper surface of the
atmosphere with which the earth is
inclosed. To body moving with the
appalling velocity of meteor plunge
into the atmosphere is usually fatal.
As the meteor rushes through the at
mosphere the friction of the air warns
its surface; it becomes red hot, then
white hot, and is finally driven off into
vapor with a brilliant light while we
on earth. 100 or 200 miles below, ex-

Some Practices of Lawyers Funny

The New York Herald has been col

Many OF the good, old-fashioned
legal anecdotes that have seen hard

While they possess the rich flavor of
ages for me. have found as a general
thing that they were new to my aud
fences, particularly to the more youth
full element.
One OF the best OF these old time
stories relates to lawyer in whose
hands was placed a claim for collection.
He agreed to undertake the work on
contingent fee-viz., a retention of
half the amount he would succeed in
collecting. He promised to act vigor-
ously, but weeks passed and the client
heard nothing. He finally wrote to
inquire what had been done in the
matter. BY the return mail he receiv-
ed this reply: II have already got my

Blood Oranges,

The blood orange is mere variety
of the sweet orange, obtained by Guilt
walton, and appears first to have been
raised by the Spanish gardeners in the
Philippine Islands, from the capital
of which (Manila) it. together with
the well-known cigars, formed at one
time one of the chief articles of export.
On it's first appearance in Europe it
excited a considerable sensation, and
in the last century very high prices
were demanded for the trees which
bore the wonderful fruit None, how
ever, now come to us from Manila
our supply being derived almost en-
tirely from Malta, where great pains
and attention are bestowed upon their
cultivation. 1t was for a long time
supposed, and indeed the idea is not
yet quite extinct, that blood oranges
were produced by the grating of the
orange with the pomeganate, but there
is not the slightest foundation for this
belief.

The medicinal gu ,lites of nutmegs
are worthy of great deal of attention.
They are fragrant in odor, warm and
grateful to the taste, and possess de-
cided sedative, astringent and soporific
properties. In the following affections
they will ne found highly serviceable:
Gastraglia (neuralgia of the stomach)
cholera mOrbu5, ilatulent collie. dysen-
terry, cholera infautum and infantilc
collie.
In all cases nutmegs may be pre-
pared for administration in the follow.
ing manner:
Crate one or more nutmegs into q
fine powder. For children, one-sixth
to one-t third of a teaspoonful, according
to age, of this powder, mixed with a
small quantity OF milk. For adults.
from a half to two teaspoonfuls may
be given in the same way, according
to the severity OF the case. Every two
hours is generally the best time to ad-
minister this remedy.
Insomnia (eleeplessness) is very
often etfectually relieved by one or
two doses OF nutmeg, when much
stronger agents h we signally failed.
In the delirium tremens of drunk
ards, this remedy can be administered
with safety and great benefit when the
use of other sedatives might be per-
ilous

NUNS WITH SHAVED HEADS.
A Curious Temple In Japan-Dec
lLLikL Il

grated With HaIrpins.
On hill back Of the main temple is
an octagonal temple that is the most
curious one l have seen in Japan, and
that satisfies ones love of the novel,
strange and picturesque in such edi-
fees. The Dlice is filled and covered
with votive offerings from those who
have been restored to health or had
prayers answered.
The outside is half nailed over with
little six inch square boards, on which
are painted the suffering pilgrims who
have been cured. and a ledge is
heaped high with avis, which the
deaf offer up when their hearing is re-
stored.
Locks OF hair, short swords and de-
vices in coins are hung up as offerings
OF gratitude on the doors Inside there
is circular altar containing old stat
ues and sacred images, and its base is
plated with sword-hilts, short swords
and round metal mirrors. until not a
bit of the woodwork can be seen.
Helmets and bits of armor are put
wherever possible, and the long she'll
harpins OF Japanese women have been
woven with silk cords into curtains or
screens between the posts supporting
the dome roof.
All around the walls and over the
rafters, as far up into the darkness as
one can see, the walls are covered
with short swords ranged closely side
by side, by overlapping metal mirrors,
sword hilts, bows and arrows, coins
and curious weapons and pieces of ar
NOR.
This little temple is such an extra
ordinary curio itself, and its contents
so unique, that its loss by fire would
seem to be more than that of any
other building at Horiuji. writes a
correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat Near it is nunnery,
where a family of women. with shin
ing, shaved heads and wearing the
same gowns and garments as priests,
have their affairs and images, daily
services, and lead the same life In

1t is interesting to watch the develop
ment of a leader of the dominant
party. says a Washington letter. At
the opening Of congress, before the
committees ARE announced, there is
nothing especial for him to do, but
there is this by which he can be recog-
nized: When the time comes he
thinks proper for such a motion he
silences the clamor of the rest Of the
house with bills and resolutions ito
be referred" by rising in his place and
calling in clear voice; "Mr, Speak
err" The Speaker then turns from all
others and recognizes the leader. MIR.
Speaker" the leader says, II move
that when the house adjourns it be to
meet on Monday next" His party at
once vote for this motion, or nobody
says either yea or nay, and the speak
er declares the motion carried, The
leader then proceeds to move an adj
journment, but before he has got that
motion we'll out some member asks him
to let a certain resolution go in for
reference. This he is apt to consent
to. and then the house adjourns on his
motion. The man who moves the adj.
tournaments, the recesses and sets the
time to which they shall adjourn is the
leader always.
