WOMEN RIOTERS

A sympathetic Kansas sheet says the
women of that state are "waiting with
uplifted Ratchet for the first origina
package" They are likely to have
busy work for their little axes, as the
legal authorities of that state say there
are no doors to be shut in the face of
the packages. Their introduction has
already commenced in Iowa under the
new dispensation, and the courts are
asserting that the state sellers can get
in no work until a sale upon Iowa soil
has acclimated the goods. But without
regard to the legal situation, there is
nothing in the mission of the women
with axes among beer barrels to excite
respect. 1t shows that tender hearts
have still more fragile mental environ
ment. The event of this sort at La
throp, Mo-, few months ago has
caused the indictment of seventy eight
ladies and discouraged the industry in
its infancy in that quarter. Women
can least afford to be rioters and law
breakers,

A EAR.OEE STAR.
1t Would Take q Cannon Ball IOO,-
100000 Years to Hit 1t.

OOO,OOO Years TO Ill HI.
Chambers journal.
1t is difficult to conceive that the beau
tifuI dog star is a globe much larger
than our sun, yet it is fact that
Sirius is sun many times more
mighty than our own. This splen-
did star, which even in our
most powerful telescopes appears as
mere point of light, is in really a
globe emitting so enormous quantity
of light and heat, that. were it to take
the place of our sun, every creature on
this earth would lie consumed by its
burning rays.
Sirius shining with far greater luster
than any other star. 1T was natural
that astronomers should have re-
garded this as being the near
est of all the fixed" stars, but
recent investigation on the dis
tances of the stars has shown that the
nearest to us is Alpha Centauri, star
belonging to the Southern ATTITUDES,
though il is probable that Sirius is about
fourth on the list in order of distance.
For, though there are about fifteen or
twenty stars whose distances have been
coniectured. the astronomer knows that
in reality all of them, save three or four,
lie at distances too great to be measured
by any instruments we have at present.
Astronomers agree in fixing the dis
lance of the nearest star at 25.000,000,-
100000 miles, and it is certain that the
distance of Sirius is more than three
and less than six times that of Alpha
Centauri, most likely about five times;
so that we are probably not far from
the truth if we set the distance of Sirius
at about 100000, OO0.OOO,00O of miles!
What vast distance is this which sep
arates us from that bright star; words
and figures of themselves fail to convey
to our minds any adequate idea of its
true character.
To take common example of illus
trating such enormous distances: 1t is
calculated that the ball from an Arm
strong 1OO-pounder quits the gun with
the speed of about 400 yards per second.
Now if this velocity could be kept up
it would require no fewer than 00,00.-
900 years before the ball could reach

more than coincidence that the Dem

BACKLOG MS.
Above the glowing embers

Above the glowing embers
hear the backlog sing
The music it remembers
Of some remembered spring;
Back to the branch forsaken
Return the jocund choir,
And in the chimney waken
A melody of fire.
The sparks red blossoms glisten
And fash their giances brief
At me who lean and listen
And dream | hear leaf
On some Maymorning sunny,
Low lisping i'll the tree
Or in his haunt of honey,
A bloom enamored bee;
Or It's the soft wind blowing
Its sweetness from the South
A fragrant kiss bestowing
Upon the roses mouth;
And ere the spell is broken,
Or darkness Ter it slips,
see the scarlet token
or love upon her lips.
Without, the wind is bitter.
The snowfiakes fill the night;
Within the embers glitter
And gid the room with light;
And in the fireplace cleaning
The backlog sings away,
And mingleS all my dreaming
With birds, and blooms, and MAY.
