Lie on the Planets.

Rev. Dr. Dallinger delivered lecture at
Bristol the other night on the planets
around US and their possible habitability
Speaking of Mercury, DR.. Dallinger pointed
out its chief features and showed that they
approximated to those of the earth. AL
though the heat from the sun there was
more intense, it might be tempered by the
character of the atmosphere Venus was
yet more akin to our world in every respect,
so that life there, as we know it, was yet
more possible. The conditions of the at
mosphere indeed were such that the whole
globe might be habitable. Mars came next
under review, the lecturer explaining its
character, substance, atmosphere and other
features, which he said made the existence
of creatures, if not man, quite possible
People were slowly losing their former no
tions that there were~nothing and nobody
in the universe except the world and man.
There were other worlds, however, which
as far as human intelligence could Judge
were not yet suitable for habitation, but
were gradually assuming conditions which
might ultimately make life possible.
The lecturer held the opinion that many
years hence some means of mental conf
munication with the denizens of the other
planets might be established. In the pres
ent daysof marvellous discoveries in science
all things seemed possible, and the estab-
lishment of intercommunication Of some
kind between this earth and the beings of
the planets did not seem more improbable
or impossible than the sending Of q tele-
graph message from England to New York
seemed 100 years ago.-Pall Mall Budget

Feminine Cynicism.

A woman who prides herself on her in
sight into the characters of men she meets
remarked the other day that man always
judges other men by himself as q standard
This is the way she finds one man judges
another man:
A rascal-One who owes him money.
Ditto--One to whom he owes money.
A dude-One who dresses better than he.
A miser-One who saves more money
than he.
A spendthrift- who spends more
money than he.
A snob-One whose social position is bet
ter than his own.
An upstart-One whose social position is
worse than his own.
A smart man-One who thinks as he does.
A fool-One who doesn't
A crank-One who has theories about
men and things different from his own.
The woman went on in the same strain
and gave her own ideas of men. Who agrees
with her? These are some Of them:
A thief-One who takes 81.
A capitalist-One who takes 81, 100000.
A soldier-One who makes killing busi-
ness.
A great man-One who never opens his
mouth.
A laborer-One who gets to work at 9
o'clock a. m.
A murderer-One who makes killing a
pleasure.
A business man-One who gets to work
at 10 o'clock a. m.
A statesman-One who talks without
making money.
A politician-One who makes money
without talking.
Ahypocrite-On A who says what he does
not think and is found out.
A lawyer-One who makes living out of
the quarrels of his fellow men
A physician-One who makes his living
out of the bodily sufferings of his fellow
men.
A merchant-One who makes his living
by buying what he does not want to sell at
profit wr1ng from his fellow men.--Wo

spectacled Boston Women.

strolled through the streets of Boston,
up Washington and down fremont. The
streets were now filled with busy throngs
A thought struck me. I began looking out
for the spectacles on nose which had been
taught were one of the characteristics of
Boston femininity. On a cursory survey
my impression was one of agreeable disap-
pointment. determined to make the mat
ter question of mathematics. / would

$50 women | met in Washington street,
then the same number in fremont street.
There might be some difference in the char
acter of the throngs. found no essential
difference, however.
The proportion Of spectacled to unspecta-
cled women, counting in all ages, was as 6
to $50 in Washington street as against Z in
fremont street, or 13 out of total of 500 in
both streets. doubt if lesser proportion
could be found in any other American city
These figures cheered me. Another lie was
nailed. The Boston girl might be human

But Levinson couldn't understand It,
and after he had turned around and
helped his cousin all through that amaz-
ing trial at which petit jury actually
acquitted the scoundrel on his own testi-
mony he went out west to look after his
mining claims. Strange to say, some of
them turned out to be fairly good prop
erty, and he is now on the way to be rich.
He told me afterward that he had de-
SPARED of winning Julia and went away
with the determination TO stay. But his
feelings were too strong for him, and he
came back to try once more. OF course
l knew all the time that he would. And
he was successful.

ly cousin had the grace to disappear en-
tirely after his trial. Nobody misses

A Cowboy District Attorney.

Everybody in the Panhandle knows Lo-
renzo Dow Miller. Better than that, every
body likes him and admires him. Dow
lives at Panhandle City and is district at
torney and rules over 20 counties. He is a
genius.
Born in Texas, he went to the Panhandle
years ago, when the Indians were still in
the country. His capital consisted of an
unusual amount of common sense and a
6-shooter. He went out on the plains as a
cowboy and has punched long horns all
the way from Lost valley to the neutral
strip. Around his campfire at night he
pored over an old volume of Blackstone
Before very long he bought some more
books. Honest, sober and industrious, he
made friends as fast as the prairie grass
grows in the spring or yearling runs in
a stampede. He astonished the world one
day by announcing his candidacy for dis
trict attorney. He astonished the world
on the day after the election by having
beaten his opponent.
From that time Dow has gone on until
he is invincible in his district. One of his
arguments, made before Greer county
jury before The vernaeular of the ranch
had given " y to the polish OF the effete
east, was as follows:
Gentlemen of the jury, look at that pris
oner. His phiz is dead tough. He's thief
and q sneak thief at that. Look at those
knots on the back of his head. They are
the bumps Of cussedness. How came tc
know is, 1 travelled with circus once and
got onto the racket. Now, want to give
you confidential stiff and drop few points
into your system. If you turn that fellel
loose, the bars of every ranch in this county
| will be down before Sunday night. and som,
fine steers will be lost" He let the case go
and the man got two years.--Galvestor

An Ignorant Newsbox.

1t might be supposed that. every man,
woman and child in this country was fa-
miliar with Mr.. Blaine's face, but it seems
that this was not the case. One evening
just before the June convention gentle
man rather hurriedly entered the Fifth
Avenue hotel reading room and made a
bee line for the newsstand. His face was
pale, but in no other respect did itdiffer
from the central figure of 10000 cartoons
familiar to the public at large The news
boy in charge of the stand asked the pros
pective purchaser what was wanted. The
gentleman named a couple Of papers.
YES, sir" responded the youth with
alacrity, holding out his hand for the
change. The pale gentleman paid no at
tention to this mute appeal. and taking the
papers was moving off when the boy called
him back
who shall charge them to, misters"

Not ray Of intelligence lit up the news
vender's eye. Instead Of that he fixed a
rather suspicious glance at the retreating
figure, while the loungers in the vicinity
murmured to themselves, And that is
