SHOOTING STARS.
How They Travel Toward the Earth and
Perish in Streaks of SpIendor.

How They Travel Toward the Earth and
Perish i'll Streaks of Splendor.
A small body, perhaps as large as a
paving stone or larger, more often per-
haps not so large as marble, is moving
round the sun. Just as a mighty planet
revolves in an ellipse, so this small OBJ
ject will move round and round in an
ell1pSe, with the sun in the focus. There
are at the present moment uncomfortable
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 extraor-
binary circumstances. At the time we
see the meteor it is usually moving with
enormous velocity, so that it often trav-
erses distance of more than twenty
miles in second of time. Such We
loc1ty 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 NAV
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 streak of splendor.
In the course of its wanderings the BODY
comes near the earth, and within a 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, one hundred or two hundred
miles below, exclaim, go, look, there is
shooting star!"-Albany Journal.

Poor Humanity!

the pessimists, they who look at the worst side.
Certainly what would otherwise be bright
existence is often Swallowed by some ailment
that overhangs it like pail, obscuring per-
petually the radiance that else would light the
path. Such an aiiment, and a very common
one, is nervousness. or in other words, weak
ness OF the nervous system, a condition only
irremediable where inefficient or improper
means are taken to relieve it. The concurrent
experience of nervous people who have per-
sistently used Hostetters Stomach Bitters is.

NY LITTLE LADY.
/ know O little lady,

So young and sweet and shy,
She bushes like the roses
When a sunbeam dances by.
She trembles at rude wind,
Is full Of fancied fears;
1t seems as il I'd happened
On q violet in tears.
But smile her tears will Danish,
And her skies be blue again,
For she knows no more Of sIrrow
