heroine faints and falls gracefully upon

required to seize large pitcher from a

exclaiming as she does so: ooh, heav-

This is a highly humorous effect in its
way, but its side splitting features were
greatly intensified the other evening

pitcher was half full of water when i

branch of industry. Our Incompatible
location with respect to transportation
facilities, both by land and water; our
great mines of the finest fuel and cox

what We Know About Mars.

We know enough to be safe in pre-
dieting that future astronomers will
find out much more. The observations
of the past summer have shown Schiapa-
relli's canals or lines to be veritable fact.
They were seen from the observatory at
Mortified, Mimi, to extend not only
crosswise but also lengthwise of the
planet, like stripes crossing one another
in check pattern. They seem to branch
out from dark spots, which look as If
they might be bodies of water
We know that Mars has two moons
Phobos and Deimos-and that Phobos is
brighter than Deimos. At least those
are the names our astronomers have
given to the satellites. What the people
of Mars call them we have not been in-
formed. We know when the summer
and winter of Mars occur, and the Lick
astronomers saw the great white polar
cap, which is supposed to be snow and
ice. grow smaller with the increasing
heat. Yet Professor Barnard is not GER

would not present the same appearance
Since the last opposition Of Mars star
Ting changes have occurred on the sur
face of the red planet for which there
is no adequate explanation. These arr
changes in both form and color.

Great Britain's Slaves.

The English people have always had q
great deal to say about their aversion to
slavery, but no worse system ever ex-
listed in the world than that which pre-
walls in some of the British colonies
where cody labor is employed. The
coolies are indentured in India or China
that is, they are practically sold to the
agent, who sells them again to planters.
For term of years, usually ten, they
become the slaves of the planters; for
petty offenses they are fined until they
become hopelessly indebted to their
owners; they are not allowed to leave
the plantation without a pass, or If they
do they are liable to arrest as runaways
During the last few years parliamentary
investigations have greatly reduced th'
hardships of the unfortunate Hindoos
most Of whom were drawn away from
their native land by misrepresentation
but much still remains to be done, espe
cially in the mines Of South Africa, be
fore the stigma Of slavery can be erase,
from the British empire.-St LOU

of the legislature elect from this county
to begin studying the road question
with a view to securing the enactment
of a practical law under which the
economical construction of much

Washington which has such an extern

the profitable improvement of which
depends in so large measure upon the
construction of an adequate system Of

Just as graceful, good looking and gen.

youths. Before the cadets had been
licked into shape by constant drill and
athletic exercises they were fully az
stumbling and stoop shouldered as the
national guard boys. The whole differ
ence was in the attention to military
drill. A famous English actress, noted
for grace and dignity of bodily move

in her childhood she lived in a garrison
town. Her mother was determined OF
making the daughter graceful and erect

Two days before the recent election
the HERALD estimated the total voting
population of the county to be about
4.5OO, and expressed the opinion that
about 5000 votes would be cast, or
about eighty per cent. of the total num-
Der of eligible electors. The returns
indicate that the first estimate was not
far from correct. 1t is thought, how
ever, that nearly ninety instead Of
eighty per cent. of the entire vote was
polled. and as the total vote for gov
ernor was 1882 it is plain that thu
number of voters in the county is ap
proximately 1850, as estimated.

All, priestess of an unknown shrine,
BY what sad process
Hast thou in some long bygone time
Lost thy proboscis2
Was there beneath that grave, sweet brow
A mouth for kissing?
Alas! we cannot know, for now
Thy lips are missing.
And yet a subtle, nameless grace
Around thee fingers;
As there thou stand st with tranquil face,
Sans nose, lips, fingers.
The outline of thy matchless form,
Thy grace revealing,
Thy flowing draperies adorn
Without concealing.
All, could he look upon thy fate
Whose hand once wrought theel
And see to what a sad estate
The years have brought thee
For him would live again that hour
OF inspiration,
When burned his soul with newborn
power
For thy creation;
And he would see thee now as then
In thy perfection;
Times accident could not again
Mar recollection.

Some Little Points.

The social standing of an individual is
Judged instantaneously by his grammar
his manners and his personal cleanli-
ness. The Irish woman who said she
knew a certain family belonged to the
aristocracy because they talked so pre-
else" was not far out of the way. Though
an individual wore the Koh-i-noor on
mis- forehead and was an angel in his
morals, he could not go into good society
if he ate with his knife, picked his teeth
with fork and said "them pertaters.
The place to form the best manners
and the best habits of speaking is at
home. The child whose parents have
refined manners and talk the English
language correctly has an incalculable
advantage over the one not thus launched
on the world.
Parents ought to be ashamed of them
selves who allow themselves to lapse
from the best they know in both Ian
guage and manners. The home is ex'
