By Rail to the Nearest Star.

In recent lecture on Fixed Stars"
Dr.. David Gill wanted TO give an illus
trati0n of the distance 10 Centauri
This is what he sail: I'VE shall sup
pose that some wealthy directors. for
want of outlet for their energy and
capital. construct . railway to Cen
tauri. We shall neglect, for the pres
ent, the engineering ditliculties-a
mere detail-and suppose them over
come and the railway open for traffic.
We shall 90 further, and suppose that
the directors have found the construc-
ton Of such railway to have been
peculiarly easy, and that the propri-
etors Of interstellar space had not been
eXOrbitant in their terms for right of
way. Therefore, with q view to en-
courage traffic, the directors had made
the fare exceedingly moderate viz:
trst-class ut two cents per 100 miles.
Desiring to take advantage of these
facilities, gentleman, by way of pro-
viding himself with small change for
the journey, buys up the national debt
Of England and few other countries,
and, presenting himself at the office,
demands n tirst-class single to Cen

the scrip Of the national debt of Eng

IN AUTOCRATlC VALET.
Beaumarchais Couldn't Finish His Gam
After His Map said l. Was Bedtiine.

The old-fashioned valet or body
servant of European gentleman en-
joyed extraordinary privileges, says
the ICUtt'S Companion. Often he gave
himself the airs of the master, while
the master found it desirable TO obey,
more or less meekly. Beaumarchais,
a famous French author, had a serr-
ant, Antoine by name, who had long
been in his service, and against whose
tyranny he seldom yentured to rebel.
One evening, in his old age, the great
man WAS engaged in a game Of chess,
when Antoine entered and said, some
what sharply, but respectfully:
"Monsieur, it is 10 o'clock"
Very well, Antoine" the master an
swered; "but let me finish the game"
II YOU don't come now, monsieur,
you viii be tired tomorrow morning."
"Oh, no; think not, Antoine"
"And being tired, you will not want
to get up"
"Oh, yes, Antoine; l shall get up"
No, monsieur; you will not get up"
"All right, Antoine; | will 90 in a
few moments"
And if you are not up, monsieur, at
the usual time, you will derange your
whole day"
"in minute, in a minute."
And you will have no appetite for
breakfast, monsieur"
"Come. now, let me finish this game.
Can't YOU see the clock is fast?'
But the clock is slow, monsieur"
q tell You it is fast"
The clock is slow, monsieur"
Now, now! The. game is almost
done, and then"
But if the game were almost done
You would not have SO many pawns
left, monsieur"
Antoine, should have been done
already if you had let me alone"
But l shall not let you alone, mon.
sieur."
Il tell you shall finish the game!
Get out, Antoine!"
"Wc will get out together, mon
sieu..'
"Antoine, I'm not baby"
You do not cry, monsieur. Aside
from that, there is not much differ
enCe"
The dialogue went on in this way
for some time. Beaumarchais, shrug-
ging his shoulders, moved pawn on
the chess board, and then Antoine,
bowling very low, and with a great
outward air of respect to the company,
seized the board and tipped it over,
dumping the chessmen in heap on
the 'flOOr.
Beaumarchais was on the point of
flying into violent rage, but at the
sight of his valet, who stood by, wear
ing an air of sweet humility joined
with consciousness of duty nobly done
he burst into a loud tit of laughter and
suffered himself to be led home and
put to bed.
The very next morning Beaumar-
chais was found dead in bed. Whether
or not the excitement of this mild con-
troyersy with his valet fastened his
death is not known. Antoine, at any
rate, was sure that he had done his
duty, and it is quite possible that his
care of the old gentleman had already
prolonged his life.

The Haby's Substitute.

Walnut Hills. but Is now resident of
Mt. Auburn. On one occasion he had
been entertaining some New York
frIeels in lavish manner, and re-
turned home in the early morning
hours little the worse for his recep-
tion. His wife, who was awaiting
him. discovered his condition, and be-
ing in neglige costume tossed the KEY
out Of the window to him. He finally
effected an entrance into the house,
and meeting the repYoachful glance Of
his better half made a vain effort to
conceal his real condition from her by
taking the baby from the cradle and
rocking il in an unusually sober man

and when he returned picked UP the

His wife says he rocked the nursing
