Very Embarrassing.

Several ladies were sitting together on the
balcony of a Southport hotel the other night
when the moon. although full, was somewhat
hidden by clouds. A natty little fellow came
towards the group and said softly PUSSY,
darling" whereupon all the young ladies
jumped up and came towards him eagerly
He selected one and walked away with her.
The other brides sat down and told their re-
spective Romeos afterward that 1t was "too
ridiculous for anything" and that they
never were so embarrassed in the whole
course of their lives"

A Dangerous Crisis,

A gentleman who was last winter in
the south relates that upon one occa-
sion he went with some friends to col
ored service, says the Boston Courier
At the close of the sermon contribu-
tion was taken up, and as the plate was
passed to him he dropped into it silver
half dollar. meaning this to do for the
whole party. The colored deacon who
was passing the plate regarded it an in
stant with q stupefied air, and then said
in a hoarse whisper: Take out dat ar
silber" Isn't it enough?" the gentle
man asked, much amused. "Lor' bless
yer" responded the deacon, 1--WE don't
put silber into this yer plate. Dat
old nigger preacher'd get SO puffed up
dat we uns couldn't lib wild him,
poway." The argument was too con-
vincing to be resisted, especially as by
this time the whole congregation was
watching the colloquy between the dea-
con and the stranger, and the gentle
man hastily exchanged handful of
pennies for the silver piece. The deacon
passed on smiling, with the air of q
man who had skillfully brought the

TRAVELS OF A STAR.
"A French Astronomer Makes Remarl

French Astronomer Makes Remark.
able Observations By the Naked Eye.
A communication from NJ. Camille
Flammarion, the French astronomer, in
the New York Herald mentions his dis
covery at Juvisy observatory of the
movement Of n star by the naked eye.
This is the first time in the history of
astronomy, he says, that the displace-
ment of a star hns been settled without
instrumental aid.
The star to which he refers shines be-
meath the brilliant star "Cluster" in the
constellation of the Virgo. 1t is num-
bered slXty-one and is of the fifth mag
nitude. Hipparchus described it two
Thousand years ago as double star. 1t
was then optically double, only not
physically connected with another
star, But it is no longer double even
in appearance. 1t was in the attempt
to ascertain the stellar parallax by the
study of double stars that the elder
Herschel found evidence of the great
law that the dominion of gravitation
extends beyond the limits of the solar
system to the most remote regions of
space.
Star aliases constructed by Nj. Flam-
marion and others show that not infre-
qucntiy many stars in the same region
of the heavens travel in company, or
exhibit, as one says, q 'grcgarious ten
dency." 1t is not often, therefore, that
any change in the relative positions of
stars can be detected. But when the
star is in line OF sight observations with
the spectroscope make it possible to de-
terminc its rate of approach or recess
sion. More than twenty years ago Hug
gins found by this means that Arcturus
was approaching us at speed of sixty
miles a second, while Sirius was increas-
ing his distance by nearly third as
much per second.
Star siXty-one in the constellation of
the Virgo was once near star sixty
three, forming with it, apparently, a
double star. Now it is separated, says
M. Flammarion, ''by a distance exceed
ing by far that of the full moon, and it
is flying with a rapid course to the
southwest and preparing itself to aban-
don the Virgo, it's arm and its Cluster,
TO go and lose itself in the folds of
Hydra, which unveil themselves in the
south"

INDEPENDENCE IN FASHION.


AngIomania East Becoming Thing Of

anxious to make good match, not

to weigh very light in the scales of
decision when placed in the balance
with money, it is more than refreshing
it is idyllic-to read the account of a
club lately started in Austria. The
ehivalrous feelings of the members of
the Mariahilf Matrimonial club raise
them so far above the majority of their
sex that it is difficult to believe in the
actual existence of the club, about
which, however, believe there is no
doubt. says London letter from a
woman to the Philadelphia Telegraph.
