and sulphur. But no new light yet
appears in reference to the mysterious
absence from the sun of oxygen, nitro
gen and chlorine, which play so i'm
portant part in the chemistry of the
earth; except, indeed, that the result
obtained by Jansen, last summer, on
the summit of Mont Blanc are conclu-
sive that the great B line of oxygen,
which is so conspicuous in the solar
spectrum when the sun is near the
horizon, is entirely of earthly origin,
and not in the least solar, writes Pro-
fessor Young of Princeton to the
Youths Companion. The veteran as
tronomer, still enthusiastic and full of
pluck, though unable to endure any
severe physical exertion, had himself
carried by small army of guides and
porters to the very summit of the
mountain, and there obtained decisive
observations. AS regards the "photo-
sphere the luminous surface of the
sun-and sun spots, there is little new
to note. Jansen, at Meudon, has
made real improvements in the pro-
cesses of photographing the spots and
the details of the solar surface, and re-
cent observations Of the displacement
of the lines of the spectrum at the east
ern and western edges of the sun, made
by Duner of Upsala, have confirmed
the laws of the SUMS swifter rotation at
the equator-a law which, though first
discovered more than thirty years ago,
has recently been called in question.
1t still remains as much a mystery as
ever how the great cavities which we
see as spots come to be formed in the
SUMS surface, why they are so limited
to the two zones on each side of the
suns equator, and why they show such
regular increase and decrease in num-
bers every eleven years.-Selected.

Merry Japanese Maidens.

In physiognomic mobility, and vari-
ETY. and definiteness of expression, Jap
anese women are doubtless, as a rule,
inferior to our women; but by way of
atonement they have fixed facial ex-
preston of amiability and girlish sweet
ness that is extremely fascinating.
This charming expression, which is
result of the habits of obedience,
kindly disposition and desire to please,
inbred and cultivated from their child
hood, is common to all classes from the
humblest to the highest. In courteous
ness, aesthetic tastes, good manners,
and personal cleanliness, the lowly and
ignorant women of Japan are far SUI
perior to the corresponding grade in
America or Europe, and, indeed, to many
who make pretenses to higher sphere.
Besides the expression of amiability,
there is another one of contentment
and absence of worry that attracts one
in these women. This is found even
in the servant-maids, who are always at
beck and call; even in the laborers in
the muddy, malodorous rice-felds, under
hot sun; even in the poor women and
girls who, for one cent an hour, spend
ten hours day stirring tea with their
bare hands in hot kettle. As regards
sparkling, laughing eyes it would be
difficult to find anything to match the
dark orbs of the Japanese maidens
when you chaff them in English, which
sounds so funny to them, or in (your)
japanese, which sounds more funny
still. They are the merriest girls in
the world, always ready to laugh on the
slightest provocation, and their laugh is
as musical as their language. They
are naturally fond of reading, and there
is large literature especially written
for them by authors, male and female.
AS regards the latter, Mr.. Aston re-
marks: 81 believe no parallel is to be
found in the history of European let
tiers to the remarkable fact that very
large proportion of the best writers of
the best age of Japanese literature was
the work of women" Were | asked,
" Are Japanese women beautiful?' l
should say that japanese women are
rarely beautiful because they age too
soon; but japanese girls are often ex-
tremely pretty, and as a rule delight
fully sweet, fascinating and girlish.
Japanese men, perhaps, seem to us
somewhat feminine in physical appear
ance, but in Japan itself this does not
strike the eye, because the women are
so much more so. They are, indeed
the most womanly women in the world.

LincOln's Youth.

Abraham Lincoln won a neighbor-
hood reputation as clever young man,
which he increased by his perform
ances as a speaker, not seldom drawing
upon himself the dissatisfaction of his
employers by mounting stump in the
field, and keeping the farm hands from
their work by little speeches in jocose,
and sometimes also serious, vein. AT
the rude social frolics of the settlement
he became an important person, telling
funny stories, mimicking the itinerant
preachers who happened to pass by,
and making his mark at wrestling
matches, too; for at the age of seven
teen he had attained his full height, six
feet four inches in his stockings, if he
had any, and terribly muscular clod-
hopper he was. But he was known never
to use his extraordinary strength to the
injury or humiliation of others; rather
to do them kindly turn, or to enforce
justice and fair dealing between them.
All this made him favorite in back
woods society, although in some things
he appeared little odd to his friends.
Far more than any of them, he was
given not only to reading, but to fits of
abstraction, to quiet musing with him
self, and also to strange spells of melan-
choly, from which he often would pas 8
in moment to rollicking outbursts of
droll humor. But, on the whole, he
was one of the people among whom he
lived; in appearance, perhaps, even a
little more uncouth than most of
them-a very tall, rawboned youth,
with large features, dark, shriveled skin,
and rebellious hair; his arms and legs
long, out of proportion; clad in deerskin
trousers, which, from frequent exposure
to the rain, had shrunk so as to set
tightly on his limbs, leaving several
inches of blush shin exposed between
their lower end and the heavy tan
colored shoes; the neither garment held
usually by only one suspender that was
strung over coarse, homemade shirt;
the head covered in winter with a coon
skin cap, in summer with rough straw
hat of uncertain shape, without band.
1t is doubtful whether he felt himself
much superior to his surroundings,
although he confessed to yearning for
some knowledge of the world outside of
the circle in which he lived. This wish
was gratified; but how? At the age of
nineteen he went down the Mississippi
to New Orleans as a flatboat hand,
temporarily joining trade many men,
bers of which, at that time, still took
pride in being called half horse and
half alligator" After his return he
worked and lived in the old way until
the spring of 1880, when his father
"moved again" this time to Illinois
and on the journey of fifteen days
Abe - had to drive the oX-WaoOn
which carried the household goods.
Another log cabin was built, and then,
fencing field, Abraham Lincoln split
those historic rails which were destined
to play so picturesque a part in the
presidential campaign twenty-eight
years later.-Atlantic Monthly.

The Silent Club.

A queer club was once established in
London, under the title of the Silent
Club. The members were bound to
express themselves at all club meet
ings, as far as possible, without
words. The first rule OF the club was:
"The members of this academy shall
think much, write little, and be as
mute as they can" On one occa-
sion a new candidate applied for admis-
sion. But the members were limited
and all vacancies filled. A meeting
was called, the candidate was to be in
troduced, and the president was to an
nounce his decision. When the gentle
man entered, the members, who were
all his friends, were as much disap-
pointed as he that he was to be refused.
AS he approached, the president rose
and silently handed him cup of water,
so full that single drop would have
made it overflow. The applicant per-
fectly understood what the president
meant, but he was courageous and
quick-witted. Without speaking, he
took from his button hole single rose
leaf and laid it gently on top of the
water. He laid it on so softly that not
a drop was displaced, and handed it
back to the president with bow. With
one consent the members applauded.
They resolved to put their rule aside,
and to admit the man who showed
them that he could ornament their So
cety without hurting it. Then the
man thanked them in an equally Gu
rious way. When the register was
handed him to be signed he wrote be-
low his name the number of the club
members-100. He added before it an
@, making it 0100. Underneath he
wrote, "Their value will be the same"
The man was so modest that the presi-
dent complimented him Immediately by
rubbing out the and substituting the
figure l. This made the number 100.
Underneath he wrote, "Their value
will be increased eleven times" These
ingenious people must have devoted a
great deal of time and thought to avoid
using their ongues.-Harper'S Young
PeOple.

Chemistry OF the Sun.

In connection with the photography
Of the solar spectrum, considerable adj
vances have been made in the recog-
nition of the chemical elements present
in the sun. Copper, silver and vana-
dunn have been transferred from the
list of the doubtful metals there to the
certain; and very recently Rowland
has found clear evidence of the pres
ence of silicon, the apparent absence of
which has long been standing puzzle.
The evidence in favor of the presence
of carbon also seems to gain strength,
and the same is true in the cases of
aluminium, cadmium and zinc. The fact
that the lines which reveal the presence
of silicon are almost entirely in the ul-
tra-violet, invisible portion of the spec
trum, warrants the expectation that
photography may soon find there evil
dence of some of the other still missing
elements, such as boron, phosphorus

The poorest girls in the world are those
not taught to work. There are thousands
of them. Rich parents have petted them,
and they have been taught to despise labor
and depend upon others for living, and
are perfectly helpless The most forlorn
women belong to this class 1t is the duty
of parents to protect their daughters from
this deplorable condition. They do them
great wrong if they neglect it. Every
daughter should be taught to earn her own
living. The rich as we'll as the poor re-
quire this training. The wheel of fortune
rolls swiftly round-the rich are likely to be-
come poor, and the poor rich. Skill added
TO labor is no disadvantage to the rich, and
is indispensable to the poor. Well-to-do
parents must educate their daughters to
work; no reform is more imperative than
this.

Life and Song.

Life is the seed one soweth,
Song is the springing flower
Life is the tear that floweth,
Song is the happy hour.
For as the seed must tarry
Under the chilly mold,
Only to swell and carry
SAVIOR in every fold;
And as the tear prepareth
Hearts for the coming bliss,
And by the pain it beareth
Widens the soul for this
So will a seed of sorrow
Blossom my life along;
So will fearful morrow
Write me a deeper song.

No Money for the NAVY.

What viii the coming congress do for the
United States navy! This pertinent ques-
ton has been asked frequently to-day. Ii
is well known that Secretary Tracy very
much desires the building of 4 few more
small cruisers, and perhaps an additions
battle-ship or two. He may ask congress:
for an appropriation for this purpose, bU'
the indications are that it will be very DIM
cult to get congress to appropriate any
more than necessary to complete the work
now in progress.
l sounded several of the leading candi-
dates for the speakership Of the next house
to-day upon the subject and found that the
necessities of the navy were not weighing
upon their minds half as much as tariff re-
form. There is disposition among some
of them to plead poverty and treasury
already depleted by the excuses Of the
late billion-dollar congress. In fact, one OF
the aspirants, Mills, declared that the e1-
peuditures of the government were away
in excess of the receipts, and that there
was no money with which to do anything
that might be needed. If the United
States had satisfactory foreign commerce
he believed it would be necessary to have
navy to protect it. He does not antici-
pate the slightest possibility of the coun-
try engaging in war with any foreign
power. This is an age of arbitration, he
