The orbit of the planet Neptune,
thirty times further from the sun than
that of the earth, forms the outer
boundary of the solar system. The
distance is immense, yet shrinks into
insignificance when compared with that
which lies beyond.
The study of inoculation for cholera
was first taken up by Pasteur, at the
instance of Prince of Siam, in whose
country it is indigenous. 1t is hoped
that it may ultimately be stamped out
there, and in this way its propagation
to other parts of the world prevented.
At Baku, Caucasus, the other day, a
petroleum well was being bored. When
the depth of about 900 feet had been
reached, the fluid rushed up with such
force that all the machinery was de-
stroyed, and the windows in the neigh
boring houses broken. After three days
the well was exhausted.
The Arctic explorer Nanssen has a
scheme for shutting himself up in the
Polar Sea with provisions for five years
and seeing where the drift of the Arctic
ice carries him. He is advocating it
before the Royal Geographical Society
and has reused great interest. The
general feeling is that Nanssen will
never return.
AS everybody IS learning now, boil
ing kills the microbes in water, and it
was only when the authority of law
forbidding the use of the infected river
water was put in force in Hamburg
last autumn that the cholera was really
checked; and it is interesting to learn
that Cyrus, who seems to have had
good ideas of sanitation, when crossing
the river Choaspes, had all the drink
ing water for his army boiled-in silver
bowls, the legend says.
The following are the lowest barom-

At meeting of the international
Hotel Employees Association in New
York City the other day it came out
that the walters of the metropolis have
invented new name to describe the
man who regularly omits to give tips to
expectant walters. 1t is "Miff" The
name is not applied to the man who
once in a while fails to find his vest
pocket when the waiter hands him his
hat and inquiries how he was pleased
with his dinner, but when that failure
becomes chronic his name is handed
around from one waiter to another as
Milf, and when he comes into the es-
tablishment, it is dollars to doughnuts
that he finds them all too busy to have
time to attend to his wants.

Many villages in all parts of the
United States have taken the names Of
the roadside inns about which they
have grown up, but it is perhaps only
in conservative Southern Virginia, re-
marks the New York Sun, that the
''ordinaries" for entertainment OF man
and beast have given names to villages.
There is Jennings Ordinary III Motto
way County, Smoky Ordinary in
Brunswick County, and doubtless many
others in the same region. 1t is here,
too, that local maps immortalize the
shopkeepers, the millers and the black
smiths of an earlier generation. Oddly
enough, one looks almost in vain for
names growing out of the bloody
struggle from 'di to IS.

1t is fanciful but pretty conceit,
eNclaims the New York News, that of
casting Columbian Liberty Bell
weighing $4,000 pounds, composed
partly of jewels, silver, rare coins and
all sorts of precious contributions from
women and children in all parts of the
United States. The value of all these
contributions will greatly exceed the
value of the jewels which Isabella is
said to have sacrificed for the outfit of
Columbus.

The dedication of the Norman Tenn
pie at Salt Lake City took place under
far different conditions than were ever
imagined by those who laid the founda-
tions, soliloquizes the San Francisco
Chronicle. Polygamy is now prescribed
by rigid laws, and though the spirit of
the laws is violated by many Mormans,
still the fear of Imprisonment has done
much to check one of the worst fea-
lures of the system. The younger men
among the Mormans claim that they
have discarded polygamy and that it no
longer plays an important part in their
religion

For some years past Greece has been
gradually monopolizing the earth
quakes of Europe. Several beautiful
towns and villages have lately been
turned in few moments into heaps of
ruins. Amphissa, Leucadia, Corinth,
Egion, Philiatra, and lastly the flower
of the Lavant Zante, have all been
badly shaken up.

A prize was recently offered by the
Denver (Col. Sun for the best solution
of the problem of how to keep hus-
bands home at night. The prize was
awarded to the writer of the following !:
"A Quaker advised his son to keep his
eyes wide open when counting; after
marriage to keep them half shut. II
you did not act ON the first part of the
advice, try the latter. Study your
husbands disposition, and be sure to
make thorough study of your own.
Try using little tact and good deal
of consideration for his wishes aud
feelings, and see if you cannot teach
him to be more considerable of yours.
Business is trying. Men like peace at
home. II possible, manage not to be
worn out. BE cheerful Don't worry.
Don't seold."

WHERE THE WORLD BEGINS.

Oh, fair is the land where the world begins,
So near to the other shore It lies,
(Only span as the white dove fiies)
So far away from earth's cares and sins,
Around 1t sheltering walls arise,
Builded by love that never dies.
This land is but one of the many inns
Along life's pathway back to the skies;
There the dweller toileth not, nor spins.
But only watches with mute surprise
The wonders passing before his eyes,
smile in his scepter, his mandate sighs,
And weakness is ever the power that wins
In that beautiful land where the world be-
gins.

Though it's sometimes song an sigh
But when troubles are rilin'

Jes' hear the birds singin
When death-bells are ringin
An thrillin' the world an the skyl
They'll sing so a while hence
When I'm in the silence
But don't go to askin' em why

One beautiful hour,
One SONG that comes after a sigh.

The new railroad from Jaffa to Jer-
usalem is only fifty-three miles long.
Passenger trains make seventeen miles
an hour. The rails came from Eng

from Philadelphia, the cars from

by Arabs and Egyptians. The road is
not likely to yield profit for long
time to come.

THERE is large sized row in the
Woman's Relief Corps of Illinois, 1t
broke loose in the State convention, in
session at Springfield on Saturday. A
violent attack was made upon Mrs. Pit
kin of Chicago, and the validity of her
marriage was assailed. She defended
herself by telegraphing to New Y York for
a certificate of her marriage and pro-
duced it to prove the falsity of the
accusations brought against her. Mrs
Wallace of Chicago, who was also a
candidate for department president
came in for a share of the abuse. One
very tonguey delegate declared that Mrs.
Wallace's candidacy was the part of a
scheme which was represented in the
Grand Army encampment by the can
didacy of J. L. Bennett to forward the
interest of what they are pleased to
call the "whisky ring of Chicago" But
Mrs. Wallace was elected.

THE Bakers Journal in discussing
Judge Riek's remarkable decision in
the case against the striking railroad
engineers, says:
"The railroads are showing their
hands. 1t is the first clear evidence
we have that the railroad monopo.
lies control the courts and government,
and it remains to be seen whether OF
not the people will allow the govern.
ment TO submit TO the railroad autoc-
racy. If so, we are to be reduced to
condition bordering on serfdom."
