Phenomena of Shooting Stars.

The phenomena of shooting stars
and other luminous appearances in the
sky long acted as stimulants to the
superstitious fears of the multitude A
red appearance was a fiery sword
dipped in blood, a sinuous wavy line a
fiery serpent, a number of such lines
fiery dragon, q cluster of diverging
lines a rod for the scourging of nations.
The Church also encouraged supersti-
ton. As shooting stars were common
in August, about the time Of the festi-
val of st. Lawrence, they were said to
be 1.-THE tears of that MARTYR.
But it is time to introduce n little
science into the subject, says Notes dnd
Queries. In 1896 a stone weighing
fiftv-six pounds was exhibited i'll Lon
don. It is said to have fallen from the
sky in Yorkshire in the previous
December, but this statement was re-
ceiyed with great incredulity. At that
time Sir Joseph Banks was President Of
the Royal Society, and he noticed a
strong resemblance between the York
shire stone and one sent to him from
Sienna. in Italy, which was said tc
have fallen from the sky. Two or three
wears later he received an account of a
fall of stones near Benares, in Hindo-
stan. A chemical analysis of the stones
from all three sources proved them to
be identical in composition. and incre-
dulity as to their metoric origin began to
give way.

MADE NO CONFESSION.
ONE OF THE CRONIN MURDERERS
DIES IN PRISON.

The story of the Arrest Trial and Con-
viction of Martin urke-Suspeeted OF
Other Crimes-How He Was Arrested.
Martin Bnrde. one of the m..n CON
vict"d of the murder of DIR. Cronin, at
Chicago. died in the penitentiary at Joliet,
ILL.,. OF consumption. He made no con-
fession. He was generally believed to be
tile man who butchered Crouin.
Burke was about twenty -nine years
old. He was born near the little town of
Westford, County Mayo, Ireland. 1t is
said that he had to leave his native land
tor some act of violence committed un-
derthe guise of patriotism. He came to
this country in 1886 and soon afterwards
reached Chicago, having in his possess
sion letter of introduction from d
prominent Nationalist in Ireland to
Alexander Sullivan. He was elected a
member of Camp 90, of tile Clan ma
Gael. He was employed in the City
Water Department for time, but was
out of work for some time previous to
the Cronin marder and left the city i'm
nlediately after that sensational event.
The manner in which Burke came to
be recognized as one of the suspects was
in keeping with other remarkable fea.
lures of the Cronin case. Some time
previous there was dedication and un.
yelling of an obelisk in Mount Olivet
Catholic Cemetery in plot purchased
for the commemoration of Irish Nation
alists. During the ceremony the Clan
na Gael Guards were in line before the
monument and in the front rank stood
Martin Burke in uniform. A photograph
of the camp was taken. One day De-
teclive Collins. Of Chicago, saw a copy
of ii hanging in South Side saloon. He
secured it and found that Burke was one
Of the men active in proceedings prelim-
mary to the murder, and was the COM
panion and intimate of Coughlin and
others accused.
Burke was arrested in Winnipeg on
June Is, 1899. a long legal fight
followed to prevent extradition. He was
finally brought to Chicago and placed on
trial for the murder of Dr. Cronin. in
company with Bpggs, Dan Coughlin. P.
o. Sullivan and Kunze, and was SEN
fenced to Joliet for life. During the
trial it was charged that Burke was re-
sponsible for the killing of man OH the
North Side. He and another man left a
wedding late one night, there was no
one else with them, and the man was
never seen alive afterwards.

ToOthpicks.

These are said to have been invented
in Italy. Certainly they were in COM
mon use among the Romans. In Mar
tails epigrams there are frequent
references to the "dentiscalpium,"
sometimes reviling its abuse, sometimes
praising its use. The particular form
of toothpick which Martial preferred
was a pointed strip of mastic wood !;
but, in default of that, he recommends
quill. Singularly enough, the useful
instrument was regarded as an innoya-
tion in Queen Elizabeth's time. The
Bastard, in King John" sneers at
Your traveller
He and his toothpck at my worship's mess. ="
Travellers in France and Italy, it
seems brought toothpicks back, and
used them ostentatiously and all those
who affected foreign fashions sedu-
lously initiated them. Commonly a
case of toothpicks made of wood was
carried about by fine gentlemen. a
more violent eccentricity of fashion is
pointed at by Sir Thomas Overbury,
who describes a courtier as walking in
St. Paul's with toothpick in his hat,
cape cloak, and long stocking. =
Apparently the johnny" of the pres
ent day, who is SO unremitting in his
use of the homely quill, has inherited
the toothpick and his fourishing of il
from the coxcombs that thronged the
court of the Virgin Queen.

"A Word For The Cow.

ut is popular belief that the dog
is the most intelligent of all four
footed animals, and that next in the
mental scale is the horse, said George
Mcdaniel at hotel. That is a mis-.
take. The COW knows more than horse
and dog combined are capable of
learning. An ordinary town COW, who
has been accorded reasonable facilities
for acquiring general information, is
much wiser than some men who have
been honored with proud positions and
expensive funerals. The average town
COW can open gate that fastens with a
time lock, get into the garden, and do
fifty dollars worth of damage before
the exasperated owner can ram home
charge of slugs into a muzzle-loading
gun.
Il once lived in village where one
half the Inhabitants kept COWS, and
expected them to for"oa their living of
the other half. Finding the usual gate
fastenings of no avail, L added bolt,
and slept that night secure. The next
morning every COW in the village was
in my garden, and so full of cabbages
that cost ME two dollars head to raise
that they could not go through the
gate, and had to knock down a panel
of fence to let them out. That night I
added log chain and patent paddock
and sat up, in company with double
barrelled gun, to watch the proceed
ings.
''An old brindled he-pirate came up
and surveyed the house, to make sure
we were abed. Then she shook the
gate, and again surveyed the house.
Next she went to work on the bolt with
her tongue. In five minutes she had ii
drawn, and started to come in. She
looked surprised to find herself still on
the outside. Half q dozen of her
companions came up and surveyed the
new jewelry. Then brindle broke a
horn trying to lift the gate off its
hinges. They appeared to hold a
council of war; then an old spotted
gourmand inserted a horn under the
chain, lifted it over the post, and the
whole drove marched inside. l gave it
up, and took the gate off it's hinges. 1

Grand Army Notes,

The Massachusetts Grand Army OF
the Republic posts have associate
members, who put in a "five" now
and then to swell the charity fund.
They are also good campfire atten-
dants and do their share toward
helping along the patriotic work of
the order
Congressman Pickler of South Da-
kOta has introduced a bill providing
that the Union soldier be admitted
to the Worlds Fair free, believing it
a Just compliment, and due the SOL
dier that he be invited to come and
see the great development and ad-
vancement of the nation he had
saved.
The Pennsylvania commandery of
the Loyal Legion is raising a fund
for a Loyal Legion war museum and
library in Philadelphia. The estima-
ted cost is 100000. The state has
appropriated $4,000 on condition
that the Pennsylvania commandery,
with over 10000 members, sub
scribes 100000. 1t is expected
that citizens of Philadelphia will sub
scribe at least $4,000.
The department commander of
New Hampshire in a circular to the
posts in his command says: "The
commander regrets to have found a
grasping spirit on the part of most
of the hOtel-keepers OF Washington
which threatens to interfere with the
success of the encampment. This is
in express violation of the promises
made and inducements held out by
those who represented Washington
