The earth does not travel at the same
rate all through its journey. Its orbit
being elliptical, it must at some time
approach nearer to the sun than at
others and will take less time in NOV
ing through N part of its path than
through another. In winter the earth
is nearer the sun than in summer and
owe through space more rapidly. On
Jan. l the earth is about 5000, 900
miles nearer the sun than it is ON July
I, and as the velocity of a planet in
creases with it nearness to the sun the
earth passes over one-half of its orbit
In less time than over the other half.
Between the vernal equinox, which
happens on March 81 and the autumnal
equinox, which falls on Sept. 23, the
earth is 1876 days in accomplishing that
half of her journey round the sun,
while the other half occupies only 179
days. 1t has been said that, owing to
the friction caused by the tides and
other reasons, the earth IS moving more
slowly than it used to do, and that the
days are consequently frightening, but
as this is only to the extent of half a
second in a century it will be a long
time before there will be any apparent

The Experience Of U Frenchmsn Who Was
Incarcsratsd For spying.
A Frenchman named Klein, who has
just been released after undergoing a
long term of Imprisonment in Germany
as a spy, gives u very uninviting descrip-
ton of life in German prisons. Klein
has just returned to Bar lie Due, where
his family reside. On Feb. II, 1887, he
was arrested at Strasburg. where he was
detained for five months awaiting his
trial. At the end of that time he was
taken TO Leipsic. where he was tried,
found guilty and sentenced to six years
hard labor. Soon afterward he was re-
moved to a prison at Halle-on-Saale.
For four years. according to his story,
he was not allowed to see or speak to
any one, 50 that his reason seemed to be
impaired. and he was removed first to a
madhouse at Berlin, then to another at
S~tephansfeld. He was finally liberated
ON the 18th Of December.
At the prison of Halle, Klein occupied
a cell about 12 cubic meters in size, with
one small window in it, and his bed was
a plank with u maize straw mattress and
one blanket. His food consisted chiefly
of barley, peas and other grain, with
soup made of meat twice a week and OF
tallow the other five Gays. The allotted
daily task for each prisoner was 12 pairs
of stockings, and the penalty for not
completing them a beating with a cane
Klein earned 25 marks, or shillings. TO,
his six years work.-London Letter.

The Final Splurge.

Arthur CUTLER COUGHS story called
THE Pauper' contains the description
of IA poor old couple who give the last
little entertainment to their friends be-
fore going into the workhouse. 1t seems
to be the usual thing for Cornish folks,
whose hospitality even under the most
disadvantageous circumstances is pro-
verbal. They like to make a splash be-
fore going under. Miss Scantlebury
did it better'n anybody I've heard tell
Of, say these gossips. When she fell
into redooced circumstances. she sold
the eight day clock, that was the only
thing O. valne she had left. Brown o
Tregarrick made it, with a very curl
u brass dial, whereon he carved a full
rugged ship that rocked like a cradle
an went down stern foremost when the
hour struck. Twas worth walking a
mile to see. Browns grandson bought
it off Miss Scantlebury for 9 guineas,
he being proud of his grandfather
skill, an the old lady drove into Ire
garrick workus behind a pair of grays
wi the proceeds. Over and above the
carriage hire she'd enough left to adorn
the horses wi white favors an give the
rider a crown, large as my lord. Aye,
an at the workns door she said to the
fellow, said she: All my life I've
longed to ride in a bridal chariot. All
though my only lover died of a decline
when l was scarce 80 I've done it at
last, said she, an now heaven an airth
cant undo it!''

National Handwriting.

If individual character influences in,
dividual handwriting, national charac-
ter should influence national handwrit-
ing. Authorities tell us that such is the
case; that the art Of the Italian, the
pride of the Spaniard. the ~vivacity of
the Frenchman, are all displayed in
their %penmanshlp.
1t may be so, but as a rule it would
take an expert or an enthusiast to tell
the difference between the writing OF
the shrewd Scotchman. the staid Eng
lishman and the lively Irishman. Ger.
man handwriting. however, is truly in.
dicative of the national character; it
requires nearly as much patience t.
read it as to write it.
On the other hand, one seeks in vair
to discover the temper of a Jew from
the dots and points of Hebrew or to de
cipher the character of Mr.. PitmaI
from the phonetic alphabet. Cham

Gambling.

A considerable proportion of failure
in business and 80 per cent of the de-
falcations and theft and ruin of youth
among people who are employed in
places of trust are due directly to gam
bling. | have seen in my vast employ
ment so much misery from the head of
the family neglecting its support, and
~squandering his earnings in the lottery
or the policy shop, and promising young
men led astray in a small way, and final
ly becoming fugitives or landing in
the criminal dock, that | have come to
believe that the community which IL
censes and tolerates public gambling
cannot have prosperity in business, re-
ligion inlts churches or morality among
its people.-Chauncey Depew.

will tell your wife that she may give
you warm drinks and try to get You

USE or A FLYING MACHINE.


BnS kmWGubkOus
What important purpose can fight in
air serve? Maxim. Langley and all who
have studied the subject thoroughly
agree that the speed Of aeriation will
greatly exceed that of any terrestrial
locomotion.
From this follows an entire economic
change in the direction of rendering i'm
nense tracts of comparatively worthless
territory at distances of 20 to 40 miles
from cities much more available.
There would also result the relegat-
ing of city property in large measure
to business and storage purposes.
This would to a large extent accom-
plish what Henry George signs for, but
would do it by means which do not in
volve any wrong to the land owner by
the wage Garner.
With flying navies capable of carry
ing unseen at night large quantities of
explosives to the center of u city war
would become SO destructive that it
would be soon supplanted by arbitra-
ton as a matter of common sense and
self preservation.
Arbitration once established, an III
ternational police system controlling IA
tions as we do individuals, and enforc-
ing the DEGREES Of boards of arbitration,
would be enormously assisted by this
power of rapid and if necessary destruc-
tive p~atrolling.
Immense areas of country, now we'll
nigh impenetrable, would be opened to
usefulness. Large sources Of wealth
would thus be added to the civilized
world and would result in the amelio-
ration of the condition of the savages of
such regions as central Africa.
We should have to give up selfish leg
islation and restriction upon the COM
merce of other nations, and be obliged
perforce to stand on a broader her
itage than that of a nation or of zone.'

Marriage Proposal Reform.

A suggestion Is made tor a legal re-
form which. while retaining breach of
promise actions, would deprive them of
all their ornamental trimmings in the
shape of love letters and the other usual
incidents of courtship. 1t is proposed
that no promise Of marriage should be
held valid unless it is made in writing
upon properly stamped paper. Young
ladies might af.ix a sixpenny stamp to
the letter in which the swain declares
his affections and ask him to be so good
as to cancel it with his autograph

he does not know he has more genius
than Esop or Phadrus.
In truth. he was a severe critic of his
W work. He attended the first presen-

some ladies who did not know him. At
some of the important passages he ex-
claimed: That is wretched! That is
absurd
When they protested that it was
good. and that it was by the great La
Fontaine, be rejOined:
THAT makes no difference. The
piece is bad. | know that La Fontaine
you are speaking of. He's a stupid fell
low. He's myself"
Then he Went out, entered a cafe and
went to sleep in a corner Some of his
friends found him there and inquired
why he wasn't listening to "Astree.'
"Oh.' said the author, rousing him
self and sitting a yawn, Il just came
