IN 100000 YEARS.
At the End of That Time the Earth's
Surface VIII Be Perfectly Level,

We frequently see statements and
estimates OF the amounts OF sand and
mud that is annually carried into the
ocean by the great rivers OF the
world. No one has seen a suddenly
formed rain torrent cut deep
channel in a roadway can doubt the
power OF water to wear away the
features OF the globe. In fact it has
been estimated that in about six
million years, If the present rates Of
denudation be continued, the whole
surface OF the earth will be smoothed
off to one general level.
But while it is easy to see how q
river and it's tributaries can rapidly
cut their way through ordinary soil
and sand, it is more difficult to con-
celve the remarkable effects produced
by water which runs over bed Of
solid rock.
The Colorado river, for instance,
flowing between lofty walls OF rock
and upon a rocky bottom, is still
deepening it's channel.
The explanation OF the cutting
power OF the water OF the Colorado
lies, as Rev. DR.. Hutchinson, the geol-
ogist, has pointed out, in thefact that
it is charged with sand, brought to it
in great quantities by its tributaries.
This sand, being swept down the steep
gradients OF the river. wears away the
rocky bed as emery dust wears stone.
Thus nature assists nature on all
sides says the Youths Companion,
and tine sand that frost and wind and
water have formed out OF the exposed
rock OF the mountains becomes, in
turn, an instrument for channeling
and wearing away the better pro-
tected rock OF the valleys beneath.

1t is well known that the Queen OF

guise among the cottages OF the poor.
One day the Queen was caught in q

OF an old woman; the DANES sight

England's Queen quietly took the UNI
brella, which was better than nothing,

Good Manners Demand the Abolition OF
Scandal.

Good Manners Demand the Abolition OF
Scandal.
1t has come to be more and more
maxim of good manners, not to mem
tion good morals, that scandal is never
to be talked in the drawing-room. So
thoroughly is this recognized that if a
woman is heard in good society talking
of unpleasant personalities, she is at
once set down as an accident of the
place, and not as one either to the man
ner b orn or who has been long enough
with people of good breeding to ac-
quire their repose and taste Very
likely many of these high-bred people
In question, who are to the manner
born, hear gossip and scandal, and per-
haps lend to them a too willing
ear, but it is in privacy, in the
depths of boudoir or chamber, vice pay
ing its well-known tribute there to
virtue in the hypocrisy that whispers it
in the dark, as it were, and will not
listen to it more public. And it is to be
confessed that of the two evils, the in
discriminate encouragement of evil
speaking is the greater, for the hypoc-
risy Injuries ones self, but the opposite
course Injuries ones self and many 9TH
ers besides.
The forbidding of the enjoyment of
scandal in public is, at any rate, an ac-
knowledgemcnt of its vulgarity if not
of its wiclledness. 1t proclaims too,
the fact that society thinks well of
itself and it's intentions, and has a
standard of some loftiness up to which
1t endeavors to live, and that It recog-
nizes an interest in the possible lido
ings of fallen mortals as some
thing intrinsically low and coarse
and calculated to hurt it's own struct-
ure, an interest in such facts anyway
as Indicative of an order of taste not to
be desired, and its possessor a person
not to be associated with. 1t may be
simply as a sybaritic precaution, ease
and pleasure being so much surer when
no uncomfortable suggestion thrusts in
an ugly head, that unpleasant topics of
an unwholesome nature are tabooed in
the conversation of the finest drawing
rooms. But whether this is so or not
it is plain that good society would like
to be optimistic, it would believe in no
evil and would speak no evil; it has
found that the essence of good manners
is also the essence of the golden rule,
and as the voice of scandal violates all
its notions it has laid upon such utter.

When two young ladies ride together

Presently she noticed the co nductor

asked her companion
"Did you pay my fare?"
The blonde nodded.
81 didn't want you to do that. Here
is your money.
And she fshed nickel out of her

He looked good deal more like
peripatetic peddler than like a tramp,
but he wasn't, just the same, and his
partner, down the road behind the fence
waiting, bore the unmistal1able evil
dences OF his profession. 1t was away
out in the suburbs, and as he went up
to the house from the front gate, he cast
furtive glances about, as if apprehend-
ing an attack in the rear. The lady of
the house answered his knock.
"Do you want to buy a fine blanket
for a mastiff, MADAME" he inquired after
polite salutation.
NO" she responded sharply, ''we
don't keep mastiff."

and she slammed the door in his face.
He smiled something more than good

gate as imperiously as Caesar and as
fearlessly. He found his partner, and
they held consultation of some dura-
ton.
An hour later, two tramps came over
the back fence of that house in wild
tumultuous tumble, leaving dog
apiece and a portion of their pants on
the other side, and went flying down

PRACTICAL SYMPATHY.
The Example of Sweet Womanliness Set by
Young Chicago Lady.

The Example of Sweet WOmanliness Setb by
Young Chicago Lady.
An example of sweet womanlincss
and helpful sympathy comes from Chi
cago by way of an indianapolis corre-
spondent who does not wish to be
known in the case; Miss Fannie Gary, Il
young and wealthy Chicagoan, worked
two weeks last summer in tailor shop
in the city of the worlds fair Mary
Anderson, poor girl, was one of the
regular toilers In the shop, and Miss
Gary, who knew her, noticed that she
seemed to be rapidly running into de-
cline. Acting on generous impulse,
she proposed sending the sick girl
to pleasant summer resort to be rccu-
perated.
"But, oh, dear" said the poor girl,
II can't go; the proprietor will not
let me leave unless some one takes
my place, and there is no one to do
that"
"Oh, yes there is" said Miss Gary;
"you go and I'll do your work"
Miss Anderson went to the country
and Miss Gary went to the tailor shop.
For two weeks every morning at six
o'clock she left her pleasant home, clad
in plain black dress, and joined the
other workers in the hot and stuffy
shop. All day she stitched, and reached
home at seven o'clock in the evening,
taking an hour at noon for lunch, and
when her principal returned rested,
rosy and cheerful, the beautiful daugh-
ter of Judge Gary doubtless felt abund-
antly paid for her unique and practical
sympathy. Detroit Free Press.

WOMEN AS ASTRONOMERS.
A Field in Which Their Labor Has Beer

A Field in Which Their Labor Has Been
Eminently Successful.
Helen Leah Reed, writing in the New
England Magazine states that women
of genius, like Caroline Herschell, Maria
Mitchell and Mary Somerville, have al
ways been welcomed to the ranks of
astronomers, and that the various
European and American obscrvatorics
have of late years employed not few
women computers.
The Harvard college observatory has
been especially appreciative of the work
of women; not only employing them as
computers, but definitely encouraging
them to undertake original research
Yet, although there is field for woman's
work in astrometry, the so-called old
astronomy, with its problems relating
to the positions and motions of the
heavenly bodies, much wider scope is
offered for the work of woman in astro-
physics, the so-called new astronomy.
For In this latter branch Of practical
astronomy, photography is now so
largely used that the observer, magnify
ing glass in hand, can at any hour of
the day study the Photographic plate
with results even more satisfactory
than those formerly obtained by visual
or telescope observations at night. In

are employed it is obviously imprac-
ticablc for womcn to engage in night
observing,
The work in which women take part
at the Harvard observatory may be dt
vided INTO three classes;
/. Computing, based on the work OF
others. For twenty years some women
have always been included in the corps
of Harvard computers.
.. Original deductions (notneccssarily
star work.. Work of this kind has been
carried on chiefly by special students Of
the Harvard annex. In this class OF
work must be named longitude cam
paign-probably the only longitude
campaign ever conducted wholly by
women, whereby Miss Byrd aud Miss
Whitney determined the precise differ
ence in longitude between the Smith
college and Harvard college obseryn-
tories. Miss Byrd is now director or
the Smith college observatory, and Miss
Whitney Is Maria Mitchelrs successor
at Vassar. In this second class of work
may be included also the making of a
standard catalogue of the stars near the
North Pole by Miss Anna Win'ock, the
daughter of former director OF the
Harvard observatory,
g. The Henry Draper memorial work,
and four other Investigations, less eN-
tensive, though similar in kind 20 those
provided for by the Draper fund.
The Draper memorial Investigations
form one of the most noteworthy de-
partments of the Harvard observatory,
and they are carried on by women
under the general direction of Prof. Il.
C. Pickering, the director of the observ-
atory. Moreover the work is support
ed wholly by a woman, Mrs Anna
Palmer Draper, of New York, in honor
of her husband, Dr. Henry Draper, who
was a pioneer in the work of photo
graphing stellar spectra.
Although in practical astronomy tho
field for woman's work is wide one,
the number Of paid positions for work.
ers in this field Is naturally limited.
Yet the success of the Harvard expert
ment Of training corps of women as
sistants has been SO Marked that 1T is
to be hoped that other observatories
may follow this example. As the re-
sources Of the various observatories are
increased by the liberality of people
Interested, like Mrs. Draper and Miss
Bruce, in encouraging the development
of astronomy, it may not be too much
to expect to see larger numbers OF wom
en- among the observatory assistants.
