What Star Ph tosraphs Reveal,

Perhaps the most notable oi these celestial photographs. in the dirct light that it throws upon the nebut.lr hypothesis, is Mir. Roberts already famous picture of the Andromeda nebula. Nobody can look upon tho vast nebulous spirals that this pho- tograph reveals, surrounding great central condensation, and showing here and there brighter knot where a satellite of the huge focal mass is in process of formation; without feeling that Laplace and Kant were not very far astray in their guess as to the mode ot formation of the solar system.
 But. although stars in abundance are scattered over and around the Andromeda nebula, there is little in theirappearance to suggest a connec- tion between them and the nebula. It IS different with the .nebuln in the Pleiades and in Origin. In the wonderful photographs of the Pleiades by the Henry brothers of Paris one no. only sees masses of ncb- ulous matter clinglng, so to speak, to some of the more conspicuous stars but in one place long. straight, nar- row strip of nebula has stars dotted along its whole length. like diamonds strung upon ribbon. It becomes moro difficult to resist the conclusion that in this strange nebulous streak, with it's starry file. We possess an in- dication of the mode of origin of the many curious streams and chains of stars with which the heavens abound, when we look at another amazing rev. elation of celestial photography.

Ina New Skirt.

The alternative to the sheath skirt IS style which came in last autumn over another, the upper one caught up at the waist and thus forming a quantity of drapery. Both skirts are usually bordered with bands of velvet or plush. Sometimes the raised DOT ton of the upper skirt is right in the centre, but usually it IS at one side or other of the waist. For evening dress es this style is pretty if the upper skirt is lined with acontrasting color. This revival is a notable instance of a curious fact, that fashions which come Tn one spring or autumn or win ter frequently return at the same pc riod in the next year, having totally disappeared in the interim.

Double Staro.

One of the latest novelties in astron- omical phenomena, as brought to light by studying the spectra of cer- tain stars, is the showing that two of these, heretofore classed as single, are i'll fact double, and belonging to that class known as binary stars, or pairs which revolve about common centre The hinaries thus discovered are the stars known as Zeta, Ursa Maioris and Beta Aurige, the former being that star which in popular phrase, would be described as the middle star in the handle of the "Dipper.

Stretc hing a Penny,

r. is stated that when Alfred Shaw of Ansonia, Conn.,. rolled out an 1889 penny to the length of fifty inches it was supposed that the limit of ex- tension in such cases, had indeed been reached; he was therefore sur prised to read the published account of roller in the employ of the firm of Wallace ts Son, named Williams, who succeeded in drawing one out to the much greater dimensions of nearly seventy-on inches. This induced an- other trial on the part of Shaw, who carefully prepared his twenty by-sixty rolls, and, taking a penny and forg- ing 1t slightly by hand, proceeded to consummate the operation to it's ultimatum with the ordinary means supplied by the establishment. His success as q most expert workman in this line was proved by his exhibiting . ribbon of the alloy of which the cent was made showing the almost incred- ible measurement of eighty-four inches i'll length, seven-eights, of an inch wide, and three ten-thousands of an inch in thickness--a degree of expan- sion scarcely possible to be exceeded.

"Take off Your COrSets

"Five years ago lady living in one of the larger towns was told by her physician that if she wished to live sho must continue to live out of doors most of the time.
 "Leave off your corsets and get on a farm; raise pigs and chickens-auy. thing which will keep you in the open air
 Her husband bought farm close to one of the nearest railroad stations so that he might attend to his busi- ness in town. There was a tc ,rrable house on the place and a young orchard. which contained few plumb trees. The bees buzzing about these plumb trees i'll full beauty and bloom of an early spring gave this woman her inspiration.
 She planted a plum orchard and q few acres of buckwheat and catnip She read upon bees and poultry and began business.
 It is fact that this industry, be- gun in the smallest way, now pays this one-time invalid in good round dollars as well as health and restored vigor.
 To see this woman riding about the farm on horseback, with a mans hat shading her ruddy and somewhat freckled face, wearing a bloomer dress and sitting astride on mans saddle Is often quite shock to the conserv- ative mind

Antiquity of tho Carpenter. Plan.


 Antiquity of tho Carpenters Plane. A very interesting discovery has been made at the Roman city of Sil- chester. The excavators came across a dry well, which, on being explored, proved quite little museum of anti. quity. Some fifteen feet down, a Times correspondent says, diggers found an urnshaped pottery vase, about a foot in length, quite intact, and, curiously enough protected by Jumps of chalk built around it. The vase which probably originally con taincd some precious substance, was however, quite empty. Above it were deposited a great number of iron impliments, most of which were in a wonderful state of preservation. They seem to have been the tools of a carpenter, and a coppersmith silversmith, with some miscellaneous objects of blacksmith 8 work thrown in The principal speci- men is carpenters plane of quite modern type, although unquestionab ' niotO itDVV OitA, thlSO or four axes retaining their fine cntting edges and still quite serviceable, Q number of chisels and gouges of all shapes and sizes, hammers, adzes, saws, files, etc In the smiths depart ment may be specified a brazier burn ing charcoal quite complete, two or three anvils of different sizes and shapes, q fine pair of tongs adapted for lifting crucibleS, curious tripod candelabrum lamp, or candle-stick, and several of the curious objects, the precise uses of which have not yet been determined. In addition there are several large bars of iron, a couple of plough shares, and a broken sword. Probably more will be found deeper eawn in the we'll This is undoubted ly the most important find at Silchester since the discovery of the bronze Roman eagle, now at Strath fielbsaye, some years ago.

Mrs, Grants Book.

Mrs. Ulysses s. Grant is making little or no progress with her book. Her eyes are weak, but not failing her, as the report goes. Whenever she has time she writes page or two. but progress is very slow. From present appearances the book will hardly be on the market before the spring. I have seen one or two chapters of this work, and can state that, while there is no evidences of literary skill or finish displayed, there is candidness and freshness about 1t all that the American people like and will accept with interest New York Letter.

Effects of Moisture,

Theclimate of England and Ireland is peculiarly adapted to the spinning of line hnen yarn, on account Of the prevailing moisture; hence it comes that Germany, whose production con sists mainly of heavy linens, must send to England for all her fine yarns, the flax of which, however, is grown largely in Belgium, Holland and Rus sia.

How Daughters Should be Educated

To inaugurate an economical fash ion IS we'll; only let 1t be ore of pre- vention, not of cure, says Mary A. Iivermore in the North American Re view. To rear a girl in absolute de pendence, good for nothing, selfish in her aims, and exacting in her demands, Is q sin against the daughter. and against society. To begin ct her birth to economize and retrench in every department for the accumula- ton of money. that this monstrous perversion of her life may be accom- plished and maintained is grotesque and heathenlsh. Girls thus trained will fail of attaining high order of womanhood. Their aims will be pet ty, their ideals low and nothing very excellent can be expected of them in wifehood or motherhood.
 Let the reform inaugurated be made fashionable and be carried on. Let us begin a system of economy that will prevent the evil which our author only proposes to cure, and by an ut ter inadequate remedy. While we carefully guard whatever is womanly in our daughters. let them be trained tomore ol fibre and tirmness Educate them to seli-denial il pecuniary cir cumstancos demand it, and not to self-indulgence. Accustom them to be of service in the household, to re- gard economy as praiscworthy and even heroic, and to add to their other accomplishments pratical knowledge of work and the possession of some lucrative vocation or industry by which they can support themselves. Such girls. when portionless, will carry to their husbands dowries in them selves

Women Who Faint in Church.

One of the latest things in church fairs is bazaar held in Edinburg for the purpose of raising funds to pro vide accommodation for ladies who faint during the service, Evidently the women of Edinburg have not yet been visited with the wave of woman's advancement and are not cognizant of the fact that fainting is as old fashioned as Hannah More's novels, and that any such encouragement to syncopeis IS contrary to the spirit of the age. If the typical woman of the age felt like fainting she would be so oc- cupied in the scientific study of her own sensations that she would forget to collapse at the proper time

Hints From BroWn-SeQuard.

Dr. Brown Sequard, in one of his lectures with reference to check on sneezing, coughing, etc, says: Cough ing can be stopped by pressing on the nerves on the lip in the neighborhood of the nose. SneezIng may be stopped by the same mechanism. Pressing in the neighborhood of the ear, right in front ot the ear, may stop coughing. It Is so also of hic-coughing, but much less so than for sneezing or coughing. Pressing very hard on the top of the mouth isalso means ofstoppingcoush- ing, and many say the will has im- mense power.
 There are many other affections associated with breathing which can be stopped by the same mechanism that stops the hearts action. In spasm oi the glottis, which is terri ble thing ln children, and also in whooping cough, it is possible to af- ford relief by throwing cold water on the feet, or by tickling the soles of the feet, which produces laughter, and at the same time goes to thematter that IS producing the spasm, and arrests it almost at onco. l would not say that We can always prevent cough by our will: but ln many instances these things arc possible. and ii you remem- bet that in bronchitis and pneumonia. or any acute affection of the lungs, hacking or coughing greatly increases the trouble Ut times yOt can eaSii Y see how important 1t for the patient to try to avoid coughing as best he can.

Happy Marriages Without Dowries.

We are told that "the marriage rate is decreasing because there is so large proportion of men who wish to mar ry, but cannot, because the intended father-in-law has not the means to give his daughter q dowry." If such q settlement for the bride IS the only sure preventive against the husband s failure by overwork, then it may be that the marriage rate Is decreasing
 But we believe there are quite as many happy marriages and true homes among those who take wife without a dowry as among those whose wives have large dowries-if, indeed, there are not more. Wives having can aid their husbands by keeping house themselves-not having 1t kept for them-and they have less cause to fear failure for their husbands, either from over-exertion or pecuniary loss than the more richly endowed wives who are governed by fashion or Mrs. Grundy North American Review.

Women In Politics.

It is pleasant to know that we have in this town a regularly constituted body known as the Society for Polti- cal Study, by which women aequaint themselves with the workings of poli- tics. There is no earthly reason why
 women should not be well up in the study of how we are governed, for up- on that question depends the welfare of the entire family. Politics touches us at all points. It involves the way the streets are kept as well as the prices we pay for the necessaries of life; it involves the way our public schools are run as well as the Indian question, and so forth. Nothing GOV CTS the ground in hnman affairs so completely as politics, and why should not the women understand all about 1t and make their influence felt when ever wrong is perpetrated?-Epoch.
