WAITING FOR TUE VERDICT.

The time that has elapsed since the
passage of the repeal bill has been euf-
ficient to show that the business de-
preston was not, to say the least, en-
tireIy due to the silver purchases under
the Sherman law. 1t is not to be
doubted that repeal was good thing,
and that II has had beneficial general
effect; but the fact remains that 1t has
not fully restored public confidence
and brought back the former degree OF
prosperity. Trade Is still dull, indus
tries are still dropping, uncertainty still
prevails in all directions. This means.
plainly enough, that the people are APP
prehensive with regard to something
that did not figure in the repeal contro-
versy and that was not settled by the
result of that memorable Legislative
battle. 1t is not difficult to see what
that something is, and how ityoperatts
against the revival of good time. Any
intelligent person can readily under
stand that the menace Of tariff reduc-
ton is the controlling cause of the
trouble. The policy Of protection en-
tiers so largely into our commercislland
industrial affairs that any threat Of die
turbance by legislation against itis,re'
garded with alarm, and business move
ments are regulated accordingly. Iti
not reasonable to suppose that men will
20 on buying and selling with theiI
usual energy and confidence. under
such circumstances; and that is what Ii
the matter at the present time.
The people are anxiously waiting fol
congress to meet to know what 1t will
do with the tariff question.

STELLAR DISTANCES THAT PARALyzE

Sir Robert Ball, at the Royal Institn.

lectures on astronomy. He took for
his subject "The Stars" those orbs
which, though appearing so small to us,
because of their immense distance. are.
IN reality, great and shining suns. If
ne said, we were to escape from the
earth into space, the moon, Jupiter.
saturn, and eventually the sun would
become invisible; but, far as we ara
from the stars, they still shine brightly
to US.
Many of these stars are heavier than
our Sun. For example, Mizar. the
middle star in the tail of the Great
Bear, Is forty times as heavy as the
sun. To the naked eye there are FIVE
or six thousands of these heavenly
bodies visible. In all probability there
are worlds revolving around them.
Sixty one Cygni is the nearest star to
Us IN this part of the sky. Alpha Cen.
tauH, IN the constellation Centaur. in
the Southern hemisphere. is the near.
est OF all the stars. The sun is long
way of, 93,0OO,O00 miles. Now multi
ply This by 100000 and the result is
roughly speaking, 10000, 900, 100000
and this is the distance We are from

Take the speed of an electric cur

pose a message to be sent at this speed
from point on the earths surface, it
would 90 seven times around the earth
in one second.
Again, let it be supposed that mes.
sages were sent off to the different
heavenly bodies. To reach the moon
at this rate it would take about one
second. In eight minutes a message
would get to the sun, and, allowing for
couple Of minutes delay one could
| send message to the sun and get an
answer all within twenty minutes.
But to reach Alpha Centauri it would
take three years and, as this is the
nearest of the stars, what time must it
take to get to the others.
If, when Wellington won the battle
OF Waterloo in 1915, the news had been
telegraphed off Immediately. there are
some stars so remote that it would not
yet have reached them. To go q step
further, if in 1865 the result of the Con.
quest had been wired to some of these
stars, the message would still be on it's
way. If the tidings of the first Christ.
mastide in Bethlehem had been sent to
the stars, there are some orbs, situated
in the fUrthermost depths of space,
which could not receive the message for
long time yet.-LOndOn DALEY Tele-

FRUIT OR VEGETABLE.-The quest
ion whether the tomato is a fruit or
vegetable has finally been decided by
the Supreme Court of the United
States. Several years ago some impor-
ted tomatoes came through the Custom
House in New York city, when the
collector classified them as vegetables
and collected duty accordingly. The
importers disputed the point, and
claimed tomatoes to be fruit and enti-
tied to come in free. The matter was
taken into court which decided in favor
of the collectors claims that the TOM
ato ia a vegetable.

She had less of earthly lore;
She elimed by parth so narrow
Such werrisome burdens bore!
And she came. with heart-a- tremble,
To the warder at Heavens door.
And said, There were hearts of heroes;'
She said, There were hands of might;
had only my little children,
That called to me day and night
could only soOthe their sorrows,
Their childish hearts make light"
And she bowed her head in silence,
She hid her face in shame
when, out from blaze of glory,
A form majestic came
And, sweeter than all heavens music,
Lo, some one called her name
"Dear heart, that hath self forgotten,
That never its own has sought,
Who keepeth the weak from falling.
To the King hath jewels brought

For the Lord Himself has wrought"
