spolled His Calculations.

Uncle Joe Holden, the astronomer
Of Otisfield, who has been laboring
diligently for the past few years to
establish the idea that the earth
doesn't move, but the sun passes
around the earth once in twenty-four
hours, ran against a snag a few days
ago which bids fair to completely
upset his whole theory.
While expatiating upon the folly
Of tho commonly accepted notions of
astronomy in village grocery store,
why, only look at it., said he, 'if
the earth is 5000 miles in diameter
and moves at the rate of twenty-five
miles per minute, the sling of it
would throw everything off from the
face of the earth, the same as the
grindstone throws off water"
well, suggested the village doubt
or, chow about the sun, which is 92,
900, 900 miles from the earth, and
what must be the effect of his veloc-
ity in passing around the earth each
day at such distance" 81 never
thought of that" said Joe, and de-
parted without another word. Lew

of headgear are something marvel

On top is the button set in gold,

to the rank of the wearer. From the
base of the button a red silk fringe,
like an epaulet, falls over ali the sur

the button, held by a simple contriv-

An Elevator In Florence.

In Florence, says a traveller, Il
encountered the slowest elevator
known. 1t was in one of the pal
aces, and party of us wanted to go
to the upper rooms. After a consid-
erable time the numbering thing
cruaked down and an attendant
threw open the doors of its dingy in
terror. He bargained with us for the
trip at about FIVE cents a head, and
then. after carefully looking us over,
took out iron Weights from the floor
of the cage till he decided he had
balanced our JOINT avoirdupois. We
then entered and the lift began the
ascent. We moved so slowly that
the ladies became alarmed, fearing
we should be stalled between floors,
and though the height was not
great, not more than that of a four
story building, we were several min
utes in accomplishing it.
1.-TWO or three of our party who
had preferred the stairs to the known
slowness of the elevator, had reached
the gallery rested from their climb,
and well begun survey of the pic
lures before we arrived. And the
complacency Of the attendant was SO
exasperating; he evidently thought
his car remarkable for comfort and
speed. longed for communion Of
language to give him word picture
of some of our New York elevators.

The professor of antebellum times
was man of dignity, and wore an

then, even military titles being rare.
When coal region towns took on new

Long People Are Seldom Fat.

Some persons are born with a nor
nal tendency to become fat, others
with tendency to leanness. 1t is
the same among the lower animals
The hog is a sort of machine for
transforming the odds and ends of
food into fat but the farmer knows
beforehand that a little pig with long
legs and snout will work off the fat
as fast as it can be made. So a long
legged person seldom inclines to
obesity.
Temperament has much to do with
the bodily condition in this respect.
In lymphatic people the life processes
are slow and the fat is largely de-
posted rather than burned. This
temperament furnishes some of the
best types of surface beauty. The
person of nervous temperament, on
the other hand, by excessive activity
of body and mind, and by predisposi-
ton to haste, worry, fret and impa-
tience, naturally remains lean; but
while the features of such a person
will probably iack softness and round
ness of outline, they may exhibit in
a marked degree the higher beauties
of mind and soul...Hall's Journal of

the Union army. He had lost his leg al
Sharpsburg, But the wooden leg wa:
such good one that its owner still
passed for biped, even among some OF
his intimate friends.
One day n runaway negro, contra

engaged him as his body servant.
After looking long upon the wine one
night at q little dinner, the officer came
home TO his tent Ho called his contra
band to help him pull off his boots.
"Now, SAM" he said, "be careful.
One of these boots is tight, and it most
pulls my leg out TO get it off. Besides,
feel rather fimsy."
"Tse allus keerful, boss, replied Sam
and he carefully removed the first boot.
When the contraband began TO pull

pulled hard and things came with a

Sam saw the leg protruding from the

THE escuRIAL.
Some Of the wonders Of the Great Palace
Of the Spanish Kings.

some of the wonders Of the Great Palace
Of the spanish Kings.
The Escurial, the palace of the
Spanish kings, has been termed the
eighth wonder of the world Situated
twenty-five miles to the northwest of
Madrid, and near the top of a noun
tain, it has a commanding position
and may be seen for many miles in
every direction. Begun by Philip II
in 1868. il was finished in 1886 at an
estimated cost exceeding $50, 600, 600.
1t was built to fulfill VOW made by
Philip II that if successful in battle
with the French he would erect the
most magnificent monastery in the
world.
The battle of st. Quentin was
fought on Aug 10, 1867. the feast Of
st. Lawrence. and the monastery
buildings commenced in fulfillment
of the VOW took, in honor of st. Law
renee. the form of a gridiron, as on
this implement the saint is reported
TO have suffered martyrdom. Seven
teen ranges of buildings, crossing
each other at right angles, form the
ribs of the gTidiron. while quad
rangllar structure. completely in
closing The interior buildings, forms
the outer portion. and a wing 40 feet
long is the handle.
The size of the building is enor-
nous. being 74O feet from north to
south and $50 from east TO west; the
square towers at each corner are 200
feet high Within this monstrous
structure are contained the kings
palace a cathedral a monastery of
200 cells, two colleges, three chapter
houses, three Library buildings, five
large halls, six dormitories, three
hospitals, three Libraries and nearly
3, 900 other rooms. 1t is entered by
fourteen great gates and lighted by
1, 10 outer and 1878 inner windows.
The great church is an imitation of
st. Peters ut Rome, and some idea
of the structure of which it is part
may be gained from the information
that the church is 364 feet long, 230
across the transepts; the dome is
$50 feet high; there are forty chapels
in its interior, and the grand altar is
30 feet high and 80 wide. Under
meath the altar is a burial vault,
where all the kings Of Spain since
Charles V have been laid. Built in
the time of Spain's glory, the Es-
curial remains the most striking
monument of Spanish wealth and
power. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

One word in regard TO tho alleged
danger Of the fast train. 1t is most
cmphatically untrue that it is more
dangerous than other trains Those
familiar With the subject win agree
fhat tho very asverse is the case. AS
an eminent Enghsn authority writes,
with picked engineers, trainmen
and firemen, with the best and new
est rolling stock and the most perfect
engines the company possesses, with
every signalman and flagman all
down the line ON the qui vive, it is
difficult to see where there comes in
any special source of danger"
And in addition to this, it must be
remembered that fast trains, such as
are now being run on many roads in
this country. would be simply inn
possible without the vigorous disci-
pline, the constant energy, the keen
est exactitude, and the care and at
tention to the details OF the service
