Married Women IN the West.

Inc western married man has no

SIDE. The men who "run" the towns
are seldom seen at the parties, which
are managed by their unmarried
clerks. In the old courtly days man
and wife had q social individuality.

erlng IN the west, he is expected to
seat himself beside his wife aud behave

fond of the worthy woman at home
but in company as well.
Ifa married man should attend a
western social affair without his wife
ne would be very apt to be approached
by married woman who would ask

your wife ?" and there would be q
certain something in the woman's tone
indicating that he ought to be ashamed

The distribution of rainfall on the
earth has had much attention given to
it of late by scientists. In this country
the fall of rain ranges from inches to
1S5 inches in a single year, the maxi
mum being reached in the state of
Washington, while in one part of India
there is said to be an annual rainfall of
6lO inches. 1t is not, however, this
unequal distribution which produces
floods, but the concentration of rain
in brief intervals of time. In France
q inches of rain have been observed
to fall within twenty-f four hours. If
such precipitation be limited to the
boundaries of a small district there
must necessarily be a heavy flood.
When our professional rain-makers
shall accomplish anything like this
they will be entitled to an appropria-
ton.

Talking of patent medicines-vou
know the old prejudice. And the doc
tors-some of them are between Won
and US. They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands won't
cure you. You believe in patent med
icines if they didn't profess to cure
everything-and so, between the ex-
perlments of patent medicines that are
sold only because there's money in the
stuff" you lose faith in everything.
And, you can't always tell the pre-
scription that cures by what you read
in the papers. So, perhaps, there's no
better way to sell, than to tell the truth
about it, and take the risk of its doing
just what it processes to do.

Could she know through the walls between

For form they may not press,
And my empty heart is breaking
In its desolate loneliness.

And breathe prayer in silence
At a mothers broken shrine,
For the woman who rocks the baby,

Jupiter'S Fifth Moon.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES OF PROFESSOR
BARNARD's GREAT DISCOVERY.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, sept. I3.-
Prof. Barnard has made public more
facts in regard to his great discovery
of new satellite of Jupiter. He found
the new body at midnight on Friday
last. Friday is the professors night
with the big telescope. Although he
had no reason whatever to suspect that
there existed a planet of such insig-
niicant dimensions, he resolved to
look specially for unknown moons of
the gigantic planet, with the startling
success already made known.
Later Investigations have shown
that Barnard's Jovisn satellite revoIves
in period of II hours, SO minutes.
The young astronomer made the mi
crometer investigation himself, and
then computed the resulting elements.
From the amount of light reflected bv
this tiny moon, he states that it is
certainly not more than 100 miles in
diameter, and probably less.
1t is so close to the primary, that the
greatest possible distance from the
edge of Jupiter, at which the satellite
may be observed, is thirty-six seconds
of arc, or about two-thirds the diam
eter of the planet itself.
In speaking of his discovery. Prof.
Barnard says that the new satellite is
certainly as faint as the thirteenth star
magnitude, and probably much less.
In the great Lick refractor it appears
as very tiny star in exceedingly
rapid motion. The movement was
clearly exhibited in the successive
micrometer measurements, so that
there could not be the least doubt
about the character of the discovery.
Prof. Barnard spoke of one curious
feature apparent in the study of this
ffth JOvian moon. The period is so
very nearly One-half solar day, that
for months at a time only one elon.
CATION is visible at any one place. !
For example, at the present time,
only the eastern elongation can be
seen in the United States, hence the
western elongation takes place during
daylight. At the European observa-
tories the reverse is the case, and con-
sequently Vienna and Nice will for
some time secure careful observation
of the western elongation of this new
b ody.
According to the di scoverer the new
moon is more difficult to observe tn an
the two satellites of Mars. These can
be seen with ordinary telescopes dur
ing favorable opportunity, but the
Jovian attendant can at the best be i,
seen ouly, as Prof Bernard remarked,
with the 30-inch Pulkova telescope, !;
5he 30-inch at Nice, the 2S-inch at :,
Vienna, and possibly, under the
most favorable circumstances, by the :
26.inch at the Washington Naval OBJ :
ervatory. :
The new Satellite was observed on !
Friday Saturday and Sunday nights,
md the truth of the facts above stated d
) beyond all question. 4

Tile Story Retold.
Denver, Colo, Dec 16.-A horrible
case OF cannibalism committed in Colo.
RADIO in 1873, was called to mind to-day
by the hearing of an argument on
habeas corpus proceeding brought by
the attorney OF Alfred Packer, who is
at present serving time in the Canon
City penitentiary, charged with having
killed and partially eaten five of his
companions. Packer has had two trials,
the lirst resulting in his being found
guilty OF five murders and being sem
fenced to hang.
His attorneys appealed his case to
the supreme court and this tribunal
held that he could not be sentenced ex-
cept lort manslaughter, because the
law relating to murder was imperative.
Packer, in accordance with this decis-
ion, was tried again, found guilty OF
manslaughter, aud was sentenced 10
eight years for each murder, each SEN
tenCe To- begin after the other had
ended until the terms had been served.
Packer has about completed his term
OF sentence on the first charge and his
attorneys ask his release, asserting that
there is no such thing as cumulative
sentence.
The story OF Packers awful crime
has been told. Packer and five COM
panions were travelling from Utah to
to Southern Colorado, where they be-
came lost in a snowstorm in the noun
tains. They fell short OF provisions,
and the want OF food, according to
Packers story, drove them crazy.
Packer left them temporarily to try and
discover something to eat, When he
returned, he claims that he was met
outside the camp by one OF the party
who attempted to kill him. Packer
fired and the man dropped dead. On
reaching camp, Packer says he found
his other companions dead, and a piece
OF one of them was roasting over the
fire, having been put there by the man
who attempted his lie. Packers aw-
full hunger was too great to Withstand
the sight offered them, even though it
was human flesh, and he ate the meat
with great relish. lie continued to
camp there for several days afterward,
living on the flesh of his companions.
lie finally became strong enough to
travel, and at last reached civilization.
1t was charged at his trial that the
crimes were committed for robbery.
lie was arrested shortly after the crime,
but escaped and for ton years was at
liberty, when he was rearrested, tried
and sentenced. The court has taken
the case under Amusement.
