These instances seem to show that
the new king can make as bold cCup
perhaps rs the old. but that hitherto
he has only exerted this ability when
on the defensive.
AS a basis for this ability he has a
physique such as his father never DOS
sesSed. He is sturdy, almost thick-set,
being fifty,nine inches high and weigh
ing 165 pounds. His freedom from
bodily ills gives him his fathers quick
ness of manner without his nervous
ness. He was born in the heart of New
York, at Seventeenth street and Union
square: educated in New York, at Or.
Cromwelfs school in Forty-second
street and, as everybody knows. mar
ried in New York. Like his father, he
is of plain and domestic tastes-an cX-
cellent family man.

a Solar CONFEDERATION

NJ. Tacchini, the Italian astronomer,
reports an enormous solar prOtuberance
which he carefully observed on the 10Th
of November last, says the New York
Herald. 1t reSembled an immense eX-
plosion or eruption and shot outward
with frightful velocity, at one time eX-
ceeding one hundred and fifteen miles
a second and extending two hundred
and forty thousand miles beyond the
solar chromosphere. Clouds interrupted
the observations, possibly before the full
magnitude and intensity of the phenOm-
enon could be recorded. There have
been even greater prOtuberanceS than
this, but such an outburst is grand
enough. NJ. Tacchini says: II think
that the phenomenon ought to be re-
garded as a grand solar cOnfa grafton
that is to say, as change Of state in
matter, and veritable transportation" 1t
would seem from these late observations
that the activity Of the sun, which was
exceptionally great in the first eight or
nine months of 1892, still continues, and
will probably continue far into 1893.
If so, there may be an excellent oppor-
tunity for studying the influence of fiery
solar storms upon terrestrial meteorol-
ogy.

FASHIONS IN CARRIAGES.
improvements in New York Stimulated u
the Horse show.

Since the horse show at Madison
square garden there has been an in
creased demand for carriages of Il
sporting character, such as tandems and
similar vehicles for driving. The show
stimulates people who had not used
them before, and opens the eyes Of
those who have driven them, but driven
inditferently. These annual shows DO u
great deal of good, making demand for
better hOrSefeSh as well as for better
carriages, says the New York Tribune.
1t is a frequent remark Of foreigners
that carriages here are kept in better
repair than on the other side of the
water. The tendency with regard to
cOlorS of carriages is toward simplicity,
discarding gaudiness and supertiuouS
OrnamentatiOn in metal work.
One of the fashionable carriages of
the day, the cabriolet, has been cOnSid-
erably modified. Instead of the round
body or boat shape (bateaW, which has
been common for years, there is ten
dency to make the center little lower
than the body proper. This makes Il
more graceful carriage than the extreme
Of the other style. NictoriaS are not
used so much now. The light Innings
for brOughams or open carriages, VIC
tOriaS and cabriOletS are still fashion
able, and there is no reason why they
should not continue to be popular. IL
landaus the change is mre toward sever
ity and simplicity.
Rubber tires are greatly on the i'll
crease for all heavy closed carriages
Some people thought these tires increas
ed the draught, but this impression ~
longer exists after the records made n
trotting with the rubber tire. Hansoms
are used probably more than formerly
At first it was thought they would not
be successful as a private carriage, bu1
now they are III general use.
There is Il new trap which has sud
denly taken a prominent place. 1t is Z
sidebar covered gig, extremely light fol
two persons, and it has the advantag sc
of being compact. The driver is close
to the horse, and altogether it is a smart
and simple little trap.
There is a new color, a light and
bright shade of green, which is favor
ably received, and when bordered with
simple color like black is extremely
effective. The sleigh trade is practi
cally dead. Manufacturers find thai
life is too short to store them, as after
q year or two they are obliged to sci
them as old stock. Even the little snow
which New York has is soon cleared
away.

A SKETCH.
\ Man With 10 More Gizzard sbnuld On;


a Man With 10 More Gizzard should oui
the business.
The burglar was not a bad LOOKING
man, although his business had a had
look. He stood by the door of sleep
ing-rOOm and peered in. The Detroit
Free Press asserts that faint light was
burning and he could hear the measur-
ed breathing of some one asleep.
Cautiously he crept inside, STOPPING
low, and looked around No one there
save a sleeping woman.
In an instant Il cloth saturated with
ether was thrown over her face and he
waited one, two, three-ten minutes,
and the stentonOus breathing of the
sleeper told him the drug was doing its
work.
With a deXterous hand he seized the
jewelry and money lying on the dress
ing-case and began u quick search IN
the drawers of the case.
"Oo-OO," came voice from the
shadows of the room.
Quick as Il flash the burglar clutched
his silent knife and turned to meet his

the burglar saw a child in its crib by the
foot OF the bed.
1t was Il pretty baby, sleepily holding
up its hands to him. He let his knife
fall to his side, and stepping over to the
| crib, touched the child. 1t oooed again
! softly and held up it's arm for him to
take it.
The impulse was beyond his control,
and he lifted the baby to his bosom and
it nestled its soft, white cheek down
to his and put its white arm about his
neck
He purred to it, and in a moment its
curly head was laid against his face AMI

by the increased vibration OF the ear.
From this Mr. Wales said he was conf

which could be worn with comfort by
the patient, and which would focus the
smaller waves Of sound on the drum
mead, thus increasing it's vibration, and
eilaonng the patient to hear ordinary

WHAT SCIENCE HAS.DONE FOR
DEAFNESS.

Transmitting Sound to the Ear by the Use
Of simple Device.
There is little doubt but what the
treatment of deafness has been reOlu-
tionized by the invention Of the sound
discs. The development and growth of
the use of this device is phenomenal,
and is well worthy the attention it has
received in medical circles, where it has
been widely discussed and most heartily
approved. A prominent physician has
gone so far as to estimate that fully
three-quarterS of all the deafness which
has been relieved in the United States
during the past two years has been
by the aid of this instrument; and he
considers it an easy triumph over this
most distressing aff1ictiOn.
While the idea of such an instrument
is not strictly new, yet the restoration
of such a large number of desperate and
abandoned cases by its use has proven
it to be of vastly more Importance than
was at first supposed. A recent inter
view with the inventor of the instru-
ment. Mr.. B. III. Wales, who lives in
Bridgeport, Conn, disclOses how the
idea of such an ingenious instrument

stars see nby the Naked Eye.

One is afraid to say how many thOus-
ands of years ago were made the first
observations Of stars Of which we have
any certain knowledge, says J. Norman
Lockyer in Youths Companion. But
in all probability they were made not
less than seven thousand years ago,
by priests in Egypt, who required to
know when certain stars rose above the
eastern horizon, in order that their
morning sacrifice might be offered at
the proper time, that is, exactly at sun
rise.
Nowadays, such eye observations
have given place to others made by
elaborate instruments, which enable
us to observe stars not only on the
horizon but in any part Of the blue
expanse of heaven, while by the in
creased power Of telescopes the num-
Der of stars within our ken has been
increased from six thousand-the num-
Der which may be seen in both henis-
pheres by the naked eye-to probably
about eighty million.

started out of the woods with about
$500 which he had earned. While on
his way he came to camp occupied
by two men, and asked to be allowed to
stay there over night. His request was
granted. They discovered that he had
the money, shot him and took the dying
man to a bear trap, placed his hands in
it, so that it would look as though
death had been caused by his being
caught there and left him.

PEOPLE WENT WILD.
Spectators Happy over the AcQulr-
tai of Lizzie Borden.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 2l.-The clos
ing scenes in the trial Of Lizzie Borden,
when the verdict Of Not guilty" was an
nounced by the foreman the jury, was in
direct contrast with these which had preced-
ed it. Heretofore all had been decorous and
in keeping with the dignity Of the most
dignified court in the country, but when the
verdict Of Not gully was returned a cheer
went up which might have been heard half
a mile away through the open windows
aud there was no attempt made 20 cheek H.
The stately judges looked straigh; ahead
AZ :he bare walls. Sheriff Wright was pow
erless 70 WELD the gavel which lies ready
for his use, and not once during the tremen-
dous excitement, which lasted fully min
ute, did be make the slightest sign OF having
heard II. He never saw the people rising in
their seats and waving their handkerchiefs
10 unison with their voices, because his eyes
were full of tears and were completely blind
ed for the tine.
Miss Bordons bead went down upon the
rail in front OF her and tears came where
they had refused 10 come for many q long
day as she heard the sweetest words ever
poured into her willing ears-the words
Not guilty Mr.. Jennings was almost
crying and his voice broke as he pat out his
hand to Mr. Adams, who sat next to him
and said; Thank God while Mr.. Adams
returned the pressure Of the hand aud seem
ed incapable Of speech. Governor Robinson
turned to the rapidly dissolying jury as they
filed out os their box and cleaned on them
with fatherly interest in his kindly eyes and
stood up as Mr. KnOwlton and Mr.. Moody
came over 10 shake hands with the counsel
for the defence. As soon az possible the
room was cleared.
When the spectators had finally gone
Miss Borden was taken to the room ofthe
justices and allowed 20 recover her eompO-
sure with only the eyes OF friends upon her,
and the caresses Of devoted admirers. At
the expiration OF an hour she was placed in
a carriage and driven to the station where
she took a train for Fall River, her home no
longer probably, but still the only objective
point for the immediate present. After the
verdict had been received the District Attor-
ney moyed that the other cases against Miss
Borden be nolle pressed, and the order of
the court was 20 that effect.
