Referring TO some OF the more valuabl,
conclusions arrived at by recent astronom
ical research, an English writer argues IL
favor of the theory that the stars, or many
of them, are very similar to our own sun
this being clearly shown from three consid
erstions. One of these is their great in
trinsic brilliancy compared with their small
apparent diameter, a diameter so minute
tLat the highest powers of the largest tele
scope fail to show them as anything br:'
mere points of light without measurabl,
magnitude; second, their vastdistance from
the earth, distance so great that the di
ameter of tho earth's orbitdwindles almost
to point in comparison, this also account
ing satisfactorily for the first fact, and
third, the spectroscope-tha unerring il
strument OF research in this field-show
that the light emitted by many of them /.
very similar to that radiated by the sun
Thus their chemical and physical constitu
tion appears analogous to that of our cen
trail luminary. Though the spectra of the
5ed stars differ much from the solar spec
eSunl, these objects are comparatively rare
fosming exceptions TO the general rule.

Persons intending to cross the ocear
should for several weeks before embark
ing take daily exercise in the open air 4
get the general system in a good condition
To the same end they should eat a Inoderat,
quantity of plain food, especially avoiding
what is heavy, greasy or constipating.
They should select statcroom as neal
the middle Of the steamer as possible.
Some tourists are never seasick so long as
they lie on their backs and keep their eyes
closed. The passenger who is seasick
should remain in his berth until or Il
o'clock in the morning and have the stew
ard bring him what little food he takes
He should not go the table in the cabin un
til all symptoms of seasickness have left
him, as the very sight and odor of the rich
food will surely make him worse.
My own experience and observation have
taught me that dry diet is by far the best
and until the patient feels certain that ht
is over the worst of the attack he SHOULD
rely largely upon sea biscuit or watel
crackers. As he gets better he may tax,
gruels and broths. The latter should b,
free from grease. Raw oysters with lemon
juice may be eaten.
After vomiting the patient should drinl
a cup of hot water in which there is
pinch of soda, and it is all the better if thi.
is elected, as it clears the stomach of bill,
and mucus
Lime or lemon juice, in water without
sugar, should be taken several times day
both before sailing and during the voyage
for its action OH the liver and bowels an6
as an aid to dige.t ton, which has beer
weakened by losses Of the gastric juice.
When the patient begins to go to tn,
table, he should avoid pastry, fat meats anC
all rich food, and after eating he should Ii,
fat on his back for half an hour, or until di
gestion is well begun, when he may go OF
deck and walk or sit In steamer chair
but he should not lean over the side or sterr
of the ship.-Youth's Companion.

Mrs. DR.. Cool paid visit to Chicago re
Gently and while out shopping and sight
seeing spent all her ready money. On her
way back to her hotel, therefore, she
stopped at bank to have check cashed.
AS usual, the clerk told her that she would
have to be identified. As DR.. Cool was a
stranger in n strange land, she found her
self in dilemma. She presented her card,
but that would not do, when brilliant
idea struck her.
Flashing beam from the diamond set in
her front teeth upon the clerk. she said
please look in my mouth"
Another one gone crazy" thought the
clerk, but he complied with the request
looked astonished, smiled and paid the
check, for on the crown in the dentists
mouth the clerk read the inscription, IL
Cool, 1888" Identity was thus established
beyond question, and Mrs. Cool went on
her way rejoieing.-San Francisco News

There is widespread belief that ivy
trained against the walls of dwelling
house is productive Of damp walls and gen
eral uuhealthiness. The very opposite Of
this is really the case. If any one will care
fully examine an ivy clad wall after a
shower of rain, he will observe that while
the overlapping leaves have conducted the
water from point to point until it has
reached the ground the wall underneath is
quite dry. More than this, the thirsty
rootlets of the stems will force their way
into every crevice of the structure which
will afford firm hold and act like suckers
in drawing out particles of moisture for
their own nourishment. Care should be
taken by means OF occasional pinning that
the ivy does not force its way into the in
terstices of the roof or the joints of the
drains or CUTTERS. Ivy, too. renders n house
cool in summer and warm in winter, and
its influence cannot be otherwise than ben

Pipe smoking is annually becoming more
popular In the United States In past times
pipes were RELOCATED to the alleged lower
classes. OF late years, however, and par
ticularly since the craze for everything
"English, You know" came in, pipe smok-
ing has increased. 1t is now considered
quite too awfully swell to drop from tan
dem dogcart with the stem of n short root
pipe tightly clinched between your teeth.
1t is sort of finishing touch to your
rough md ready fishing costume to have a
stubby pipe in your mouth and gives one
delightful sense of easy, graceful, negli-
gent sweetness. just as soon as the APP
proval of society alighted upon the custom
of pipe smoking pipes became much in de-
mand, and the cost of the same increased
proportionately, especially for the strictly
English shapes. 1t Is amusing to see n fell
low pretending to be judge of pipe.
The fact is that nearly all pipes smoke
pretty much the same.
The cheapeppipe smokes better than the
more expensive ones as q general thing.
For instance, a corncob pipe Is one of the
coolest, sweetest smokes you can get.
Next comes the penny clay pipe. II you
will smoke clay pipe few times and
throw 1t away, you will always be sure that
you are enjoying pipe smoking OF the most
delightful character. The tendency of the
average human is to buy an expensive pipe
and then color it by blowing smoke against
the bowl.
This practice renders the pipe ornamen-
tai, but as a general thing these highly col.
ored pipes are very strong, and it is any
thing but pleasant for persons averse to
tobacco to be in the same room with them.
The English smoke pipes because pine
smoking is cheaper than cigar smoking.
Americans smoke pipes because the English
smoke pipes.
The only man who can properly under
stand pipe is the plantation darky, who
puts live coal on top of a pipe filed with
plug tobacco and puffs gently at the "turrer
end of reed stem while the purple night
shadows gather around the cabin and the
screech owl scares itself and the neighbor-
hood with its weird laughter.-C Cincinnati
