The Earth.

Without counting the disputed
planet, Vulcan, the earth is the third
from the Sun. 1t is about 93,000000
of miles from the Sun, varying in dis
lance at different times. We are
10000 of miles nearer the Sun on
January 1st, than we are on the first
of July. The Earth goes once around
the Sun in 365 days and G hours
that is, while it is going one time
around the Sun, it turns around on
its axle three hundred and sixty-five
and one-fourth times. One revolu-
ton in its orbit is year. One rev.
olution on its axis is a day and a
night. A person on the Equator
would be carried around by the
daily revolution of the Earth over
LOCO miles an hour, while the whole
planet is at tho time rushing forward
around the Sun at the rate of $4,000
miles an hosr. This seems impossible,
butt is an easily proven fact At the
Equator line 1927 miles long would
reach through the center of the Earth,
and one 24,902 miles long would
reach around it. There is every
proof that the Earth is a round ball
or star suspended by Gods power in
the open Heavens-Ex.

GROWTH OF THE BRAIN.
Interesting Facts Concerning tho Skull
OF Great Thinkers.

Interesting Facts Concerning tho skulls
OF Great Thinkers.
In the inferior races the head ceases
to grow after twenty years Of age. In
the superior races the head of the INTEL
ligent and educated man increases in
volume until thirty-flve, forty and fifty
Ave years. The skull has reached it's
maximum development when the bones
composing itare welded together SO as to
render the sutures invisible. Once the
sutures are solidifed, the further growth
Of the brain is impossible, which is said
TO explain the insurmountable difficulty
experienced in trying to teach illiterate
adults. The qualification varies accord
Ing to the investigating activity OF the
brain. 1t takes place between the ages
Of twenty-five and twenty-five years in
the task-worker, between twenty-eight
and thirty-fve in the middle class man
ual professions, and after thirty-five in
educated persons who practice intellect
ual professions. Recent experiments in
the female colleges of Russia, says the
Chicago News, prove that woman's head,
though naturally smaller than mans, is
susceptible to similar development under
educational treatment. The skulls Of
great thinkers grow throughout life.
The frontal sutures of Pascal, Rousseau
and others who lived to ripe old age
were found open. Comparison of the
individual skulls Of different races dis
closes the singular and important fact
that in the inferior beings the solidih-
cation of the sutures begins in the
frontal, or intellectual, region of the
brain, and terminates in the occipital,
or animal. In the case OF the civilized
man, on the contrary, the qualification,
beginning much later in life, starts in
the occipital, passes to the parietal
bone, and thence to the frontal, thus
giving till the last moment the fullest
scope TO the superior functions.

did not have much to say. He used to
lie about the hotel veranda in big
steamer chair and read novels. He
wore yachting suit and cap and silk
shirt. He did not look bit salt, be-
cause the skin Of his face was as white
and as smooth as a baby's. So they
laughed at him for wearing yachting
suit. All the other fellows wore them

went sailing once or twice when some
generous fellow took pity on him and
invited him. Then the women laughed
at him more, and in strange German
called him Der Alte Chaperon-the
Old Chaperon-because he always went
down into the cabin, stretched himself

he was afraid tho spray would spoil his

just staid in the steamer chair and read

Disorders which Affect the

Are among the most formidable known.
Diabetes, Brights disease, gravel and
other complaints OF the urinary organs
are not ordinarily cured in severe cases,
but they may be averted by timely med
ication. A useful stimulent Of the urinary
glands has ever been found in Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, q medicine which not
only affords the requisite stimulus when
they become inactive, but increases their
vigor and secretive power. BY increasing
the activity of the kidneys and bladder,
this medicine has the additional effect of
expelling from the blood impurities which

The marriage ceremony practiced BY
the people of Borneo is very short and
simple. Bride and groom are brought
out before the assembled tribe with
great solemnity, and seated side by side.
A betel nut is then cut in two by the
medicine woman of the tribe, and one
half is given to the bride and the other
half to the groom. They begin to chew
the nut, and then the old woman, after
some sort of incantation, knocks their
heads together and. they are declared
man and wife.
