Meteorites.
Popular Science Monthly.

Popular Science Monthly.
Meteorites are particularly interest,"
ing, because they comprise the only
material coming to us from outer
space. In consequence OF the strik-
ing phenomena resulting from their
rapid passage through our atmos-
phere, making them appear like
balls of fire visible at great distances,
sometimes exploding with such vio-
lence as to be taken for earthquakes,
their falls have been noticed and re-
corded since the earliest times. The
accounts however, were so imbued
with superstitions, and so distorted
by the terrified condition of the mar
rators, that in most cases the wit
nesses of the event were laughed
at for their supposed decisions; and
it was not till the beginning Of the
present century that men of science
and people in general began to give
credit to such reports.
The earliest authentic records OF
stones falling from the sky are to be
found in the Chinese annals, which go
back to 644 b. g., and between that
time and 333 A. d., Blot has traced
sixteen distinct occurrences. In Eu-
rope,a meteorite is said to have fallen
in Crete as far back as l47S b. c., but
Greek history cannot be depended
upon for events earlier than 200 B.
c. A more probable fall in 7O5 b.
G., is mentioned by Plutarch; while
Livy, in his History of Rome, gives
an account of a shower of stones
which fell on the Alban Mount about
652 B. c., and which SO impressed
the Senate that they decreed nine
days solemn festival.

NOVEL LODGING-HOUSE.
An Office Building During the Day and
Hotel at Night.

An Office Building During the Day and
Hotel at Night.
Among the many peculiar methods
that are employed by some men to as
sist their salaries is one that was used
by former landlord of mine who now
owns three houses, from which he de-
rives a good living, says Mark Z. Len
non in the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
He was for long time janitor of
large Office building here. 1t became
quietly known to the class of wander
ers who can pay but small sums for
hotel bills that the corridors of this
building, which was well heated by
steam, would furnish them lodging at
five cents per night, or ten cents for ere
served berths, as the janitOr termed
the offices, into which he would admit
the cleanest and most Trustworthy of
his guests, and on whom he locked
the doors. This was a welcome re-
treat to that class, who often had
not the cash required by the Bethel,
and his patronage became great. The
throng would be compelled to move
out just before daylight, and under
pain of never being again admitted,
they were prohibited from leaving any
sign of their presence, such as dirt,
rags, etc. Among the habitues were
many who were sometimes without
even the pittance necessary to pay for
lodging, but under no circumstance
would they be given credit; they could
stay, however, if they would devote
an hour or so in cleaning the place,
by which means the building was al
ways kept so neat that it was often re-
marked. A woman, child or Grip
pie needed no fee, as they were always
given free lodgings. Even the police
favored the resort, as they often
quietly found criminals that they
could not have done but for the rem
devious. Every night the janitor
reaped rich harvest, and is now well
to do.

Practical Housekeeping.

Good Housekeeping.
Carelessness in measuring and pre-
pairing a dish is often the cause OF
failure. When Il recipe is found
good, it should be followed exactly.
1t is not only an economy for
home-makers to keep an account
book, but it is a great satisfaction to
know, from year to year, exactly
what has been expended.
The excellence of baked potatoes
depends upon eating as soon as done,
and not before. They are worthless
till cooked, and dry rapidly as soon
as baked through.
Go to be bed at night to sleep; and
not to think over the troubles of to-
day, nor the anticipated trials of to-
morrow. One woman: 81 plan my
next days work each night after re-
firing" Poor, little, nervous thing,
she looked IL.
The importance of letting the sun
light fall into all parts of our dwell
ings cannot be too highly estimated.
Good health is dependent on sunlight
and pure air. An eminent physician
has said: Sunlight should never be
excluded except when so bright as to
be uncomfortable to the eyes.
Silver, washed after each meal in
very hot ,water, with sometimes a
little ammonia in it, will be bright
and shining for a long time with,
out other cleaning. When a more
thorough cleaning is necessary, use
any good silver polish, being sure to
rub lightly, as the bright lustre soon
wears dull, and if it be plated, soon
wears off.

Two WOodfOrds who Believed In Standing

Good evening, sir" said a man with
white porcelain buttons on his coat, as
he politely removed black straw hat
with both hands. He was coming
down the front steps of Madison
avenue house and had encountered the
owner going up. II have just been

fords, sir; it is hardly likely, sir, that
we are any relation.

said the other, as he shifted the air still
more suspiciously and went up two
steps higher.

Celery.
Country Gentleman.

Country Gentleman.
Probably no class Of people suffer
more with rheumatism than farmers,
and yet the remedy for this dreadful
disease is, or should be right at hand.
If celery were eaten freely, sufferers
from rheumatism would be compare
lively few. 1t is a mistaken idea
that cold and damp produce the dis
ease-they simply develop it. Acid
blood is the primary and sustaining
cause. If celery is eaten largely an
alkaline blood is the result, and
where this exists there can be neithe.
rheumatism nor govt 1t should be
eaten cooked. Cut into bits and boil
till soft in as little water as possible.
Add to this half as much milk as
there is water in the celery, thickened
with flour, and seasoned with butter,
pepper and salt. If you cook it nicely
and give fair trial, am sure you
will as soon leave potatoes out of the
daily bill offare as celery. 1t is nice
as sauce for any kind of cold meat
or fowl, or for roasted poultry or
game of any kind. Children will
like it poured over boiled potatoes, or
it may be drained from the sauce,
mixed with mashed potatoes, formed
into little cakes and Drowned. a
ready witted woman will find nu-
numerous ways of serving it.

Treating Dog Bites.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A good thing to do for a mad dog
bite is to fill the wound with powder
and touch it off. This meets snake
bites too. An efficacious and aborigi-
nal plan is to procure half a dozen
young live fowls, cut the skin from
the side Of one, and put the raw spot
against the bitten part. In a few
minutes take another fowl and use it
in the same way. -Four will prObab-
ly die, the fifth will get giddy, but
not die and the sixth may not be
needed. Such a treatment for dog
bites is handler than, and as, infal-
liable as the maidstone"

How Many Words in English.
Chambers journal.

Chambers Journal.
An interesting question suggested
by an ancient waif of a book is the
number of English words now exist
ing. Considerable difference of opin-
ion exists on this point. Mr. George
p. March, an American author of re-
pute, in his Lectures on the English
Language" estimated that the num-
Der lin 1861 probably does not fall
short of 100000" and large additions,
especially in art and science, have
come into use since that date.
Other writers, however, come
to a different conclusion, and
think that 10000 would include the
whole. 1t depends Il good deal on
how calculations are made. If all
the subsidiary words participles and
the like-are to be taken into account,
it will swell the sum total very con-
siderably.
Taking the first three words that
occur at random, we find that from
demonstrates" in one of our modern
dictionaries, there are thirteen deriva-
tives; from the word "bright' there
are twelve, and from "deplore" there
are ten. There is also redundance in
other forms. In one Of Todd's edi-
tiOns Of DIR. Johnson there are up-
wards Of eighty words with the pre-
fix "all"-all complying, all-divin-
ing, all~drowsy, and 50 on-a very
notable instance of dictionary pad-
ding, In ways like these the vUcabu-
larry may be indefinitely increased.
Probably, if we take leading words
and all their derivatives, the num-
Der at the present time will exceed
Mr.. Marsh's estimate. An approx
mate verificatiOn of this may be found
by multiplying the number of pages
in any good modern dictionary by
the average number of words in
page.
Shakespeare's works, it is believed,
include about $4,000 separate words,
and Milton about 5000; but from
these figures we have no criterion of
the extent Of the actual English vo>
cabulary. 1t may be mentioned here
that, while Cockeram has only about
1000 or 5000 words, there are in Bal.
ley's dictionary approximately about
$4,000, and in JOhnson's not more
than that. In some of the larger
modern works, again, the figures, as
has been said, reach to upwards of
100000.
In DR.. JOhnson's vocabulary many
technical and scientific terms were
omitted, and in his original preface
he excuses himself in a very naive
and characteristic fashion. 81 could
not" he says, "visit taverns to learn
the miners language, nor take voy-
age to perfect my skill in the dialect
Of navigation, nor visit the wares
houses Of merchants and the shops Of
artifcers to gain the names of wares,
tools, and operations of which no
mention is found in books" An adj
verse critic might be inclined to ask,
Why not? But, all the same, it will
be readily conceded that he did a
great work according to his lights.
The science Of philolOgy has been
revolutionized since his day, but his
labors largely contributed to the
earlier stages of its progress.
