Etiquette is responsible for a queer
legal decision. A traveller on a Ger

man sued the company for damages.

An Insolent Follower.

He was going home to his wife and
family. 1t was growing dark. His road
from the station was lonely one, and

man behind him was following him
purposely. The faster he went the faster
the man went, until they came to a
churchyard Now" said he to him.

The Great Wheat Shipments.

The wheat crop of 1892 is more than
100,000000 bushels less in volume than
was the crop of 1891, and yet in the three
months ending with October over 104,-
100000 bushels were crowded into the
markets of the West-a quantity greater
by nearly one-fifth than in the same
time last year, and nearly three times as
great rs in the few years Immediately
preceding. 1t is phenomenal to find
such proportion of the years produc-
ton out of first hands so soon, and this
circumstance furnishes the bears with
every needed facility for shaping prices
to their own mind.

Train the Memory.

Chicago Dispatch.
A splendid way to improve the mem
ory is to begin by treating it as if it
were another person, and then charging
it, upon penalty of a severe upbraiding
to keep until wanted the information
fact, date, name or whatever is to be re
membered. In this course you uncon-
sciously do two things-you sort out
things worth while to know and you
impress them upon the memory in auch
way as to cause it to grasp and keep
them. The latter is most important
thing to do. Half of ones forgetfulness
comes from failure to properly grasl
what it is you are to remember. 1t is
said of Thomas B. Reed, the famous
member of Congress from Maine, who
was Speaker of the House of Represent
atives for two years, that he considered
it great hardship to have to tell man
the same thing twice. You ought nev-
er to cause any one such hardship.

A VERY WEAK PLEA.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette
Congress is to be vigorously besieged
by the representative of the Columbian
exposition enterprise in behalf of Sunday
opening, and the strongest plea they are
able to present is the very weak and
wholly insincere one that unless the
action of last session closing the fair on
Sunday is reconsidered tens of thousands
of working people will be wholly de-
prived of the educational and elevating
advantages which the exposition is in
tended to impart. This plea is based on
the allegation that the working classes,
not only of Chicago, but those embraced
in an area of hundreds of miles in every
direction from that city, are generally so
poor that they can not afford to take a
day or two off and visit the fair-that
they are obliged to work every day ex-
cept Sunday, and unless they are ad-
mitted on that day they will be barred
out entirely.
This is not plea which any consider
able number of working people make in
their own behalf. They wonld be
ashamed to make it. 1t is made for
them by certain elements who are restive
under the restraints of Sabbath laws and
who wish to see them trampled upon
with the sanction of the government
These are the persons who prate about
individual liberty ahd rant over Puritan
ical bigotry. They insist upon Sunday
recreations, such as open beer gardens,
theatres, museums, and all manner of
outdoor sports, such as ball games, horse
racing, hunting and the like. These are
backing up greedy directory, whose
respect for American institutions and
their own State laws is secondary alto
gether to the desire to swell their gate
receipts.
There is an easy way in which the re-
gard of the managers for the interests
of the working classes can be put to the
test. Let them admit wage workers to
the exhibition free or at half rates.
When leading hotel proprietor and a
prominent merchant of Chicago tried to
persuade President Roberts of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company that the
railways should carry passengers to the
fair at one rate for the round trip he
asked them if the hotel-keepers and
merchants proposed to reduce charges
in the same proportion, and they frankly
answered that they did not Everyone
expects that hotel charges will be ma
terially increased during the fair, and
that merchants will get the best prices
they can for their goods. The working
classes, for whom the directors profess
such deep concern, will be given no
favors. They will be expected to pay
for all they get. The chief reason they
want the doors open Sundays is that
they may profit by it. 1t is an insult
alike to the consistency and patriotism
of the members of Congress to ask them
to stultify themselves in this regard, and
they should say so at the earliest oppor-
tunity.

Size of the Universe.

N0rdStjernen Copenhagen
To form some idea of the largeness of
the earth one may look upon the land
scape from the top of an ordinary church
steeple and then bear in mind that one
must view 100000 similar landscapes to
get an approximately correct idea of the
size of the earth. Place 500 earths like
ours side by side, yet Saturn's outermost
ring could easily enclose them. Three
hundred thousand earth globes could be
stored inside the sun, if hollow. If a
a human eye every hour were capable of
looking upon a fresh measure of the
world material $4,000 square kilometers,
large. that eve would need $1,000 years to
overlook the surface of the sun. To reach
the nearest fixed star one must travel
| 33.000,000 kilometers, and if the veloci
ty were equal to that of a cannon ball it
would 100000 years to travel the dis
tance.
On clear night an ordinary human
eye can discover about 1000 stars in the
northern hemisphere, most of which
we cannot measure. How large they
must be- Round these 1000 stars cir
Gle $4,000 other stars of various sizes.
Besides single stars, we know of sys-
TENS of stars moving round one anoth-
er. Still, we are but short way into
space as yet! Outside our limits of Wis
ion there are, no doubt, still larger
spaces.
The Milky Way holds probably at
least 20,l9l 900 stars, and as each is a
sun,we presume it is encircled by at least
50 planets. Counting up these figures,
we arrive at the magnitude of l ,OOO,955,
600 stars A thousand million of stars!
Who can comprehend it? Still, this IS
only part of the universe. The mod
ern telescopes have discovered more and
similar milky ways still further away.
We know of some 5000 nebule which
represent milky ways like ours. Let US
count 1000 of them as being of the size
of our Milky Way, then 2,000x20, 49,
40, ,3S2, 100000 suns, or 2.Ol9, lO0,00O,OOO
heavenly bodies. Suppose these bodies
paradlng before our mental eye, one per
minute, it would require 3,840 years to
inish the march, in all of which time
we would have to look upon them un-
ceasingly. Suppose human being mi
grating from globe to globe, and spend
ing 50 years on each, he would require
1O0,955. 100000, years for the round.
If he stayed only one hour he would
save much time, but still need 23O,43O,-
600 years for the task. Yet thess neb-
ula are only part of the universe! Out
side the nebula limits we know of other
nebul8 not resolvable into stars. They
appear to be primitive nebu!e, pure, un-
used, world stuff matter for new crea-
tion. Some of them occupy space as
large as the orbit of Uranus. Some are
still larger. The one in "Orion" is esti-
mated to be 2,200,000,000,000,0 100000
times larger than our sun. Are we
coming to the outermost limits? Who
dares to say yes? We are probably come
to our limits But the future, with new
instruments and scientific devices, may
push those limits so much further out
into space.

not be construed in any way as strength
to our nation. They are not American,
either in their ideas of government or
in their attachment to our institutions.
Our nation is feeling its want of ability
to assimilate this great body of aliens.
Thinking men all over the country
agree that the danger to our institutions
from this source is real and threatening,
and the workingmen, who are most af-
fected by the vast influx of cheap for
eign labor, ought to take the lead in
demanding that restrictive legislation
be en-; cted by Congress. The time has
come to act and the report of the Senate
committee should be backed up by petit
tions from all parts of the country de-
manding the passage of prohibitory
or strongly restrictive law.
