The Sums Fire.

How was heat originally imparted to our great luminary? Was he "born in fire" and has he been in an active state of combustion since the day of his birth, or was he once "a darksome body, fit ting hither and thither and yet going nowhere in particular?"
 If once mighty planet of somber hue, why is he now the torchlight as well as the heating apparatus of great system of worlds, and, being both, who is equal to the task of calculating even the cycle of time wherein the great change took place? It may have been that there were no worlds in what is now the solar sys- tenn prior to that time, or, if there were, probably only two.
 These two black giants of this dark ened portion of the great universe may have collided and coalesced into a vast nebula, from whence the whole of our system has been evolved. If light and heat were thus mechanically produced and still retained to certain degree in our sun, the largest fragment of the two colliding worlds, is it not altogether like ly that the great solar fires will finally burn out and that as result man and all living creatures will become extinct on all of the inhabited planetsf-st.

Lovers Rock.

"Come, my child!'
 It was Rolling Thunder head chief of the Six Nations, who spoke, and his words were addressed to Sparkling Vichy Water, his only daughter and the handsomest of all dusky maidens.
 "Must do it, father:" she asked as she rose up and took his hand.
 "You must. The white man will come here after us and look for history. Yes, you must leap from Lovers Rock and be dashed to pieces"
 Ut hurts to be dashed" murmured the maiden as they walked toward the rock.
 "Yes, I know, but you must sacrifice yourself. Within a few years the white mans steamboat will be blowing these waters, and it is positively necessary that the captain may point to this rock and say to his gaping passengers, Behold, the spot where the beautiful Sparkling Eichy Wa ter leaped to her death because her father wouldn't let her marry Too-gee-ho, the mighty raccoon slayer"
 ''But you don't oppose it, father" she said.
 "Of course not, but you must leap just the same. Twenty years hence there will be a summer hotel down there by the min eral spring. What sort of a paying insti tuition would it be without Lovers Rock, and tale of sorrow?'
 "Couldn't we lie about it, father? If the white man gets the legend, he won't care whether it is true or false, will he?"
 "Of course he will. The white man wants the solid truth about these things. You can't charge guest s4 per day at a summer hotel unless your legends are straighter than a string. My child, spread your wings "
 ''But wouldn't it be more interesting if you were to jump9 You are such big In jun, you know, and have taken so many scalps and fought"---
 Rolling Thunder sprang forward and seized her and did just what any right minded Indian father would have done un- der the circumstances-hurl her to her death and laid the foundation for the sum- mer hotel to boom. She was fatally in- jured. She died. There are just 5S0 places from which she was hurled, and if you don't fancy one you have 579 others to pick from. Anything not on the bill of fare will be extra M. QUAD.

THE MEDICI SLEEVE.

pictures, family portraits and the like, and the sleeves that Sir Josuha Reynolds and Gainsborough immortalized on their canvases are to be seen at the modern tea table and at homes. The fact that these large sleeves give freedom to the arms is in their favor, though it must be admitted that the arms would be equally free with less quantities of ma terial. A pair of sleeves now demand quite as much cloth as the bodice itself, which shows that their proportion is all wrong.
 The sleeve known as "Medici" is long and narrow. It is ornamented with Louis XIII bows and vandykes ill fancy ribbon, the ends finished with metal tips A wide puff of brocaded silk is completed with collar of either lace or embroidery, which falls from the neck of the tea gown or demitoilet bodice, to which this sleeve is suitable

 "I was thinking today that it was about timer' observed Mrs. Bowser as MT. Bow ser came hume the other evening with a suspicious looking package under his arm.
 About time for what?"
 'SI suppose you we run across some more germ killer, or a new kind of medicine chest, or a pocket fire escape. How on earth you let people take you in as they do is wonder to me!'
 "Who has ever taken me in?' he hotly demanded.
 "Every body who had anything in the shape of swindle."
 1T deny it! You can't point to one sin gle instance where I have made poor in vestment On the contrary, have saved us hundreds of dollars ger year in cold cash, not to mention sickness, suffering and doctors bills, by the outlay of few shillings now and then"
 "What new idea is it this timer" she asked as she resigned herself to the inev- itable.
 "Mrs Bowser," he replied after walk ing back and forth across the room three or four times, Eff I can save one-half our gas bill just as we'll as not, I'd be chump not to do it, wouldn't +"
 'We can save it all by burning kero- sene!''
 "Don't try to be funny, Mrs. Bowser. The gas bill is serious thing. If I can save anywhere from $50 to $40 per month by the outlay of couple of dollars at the start, common sense dictates my course. If 1didn't save to offset your waste, we should soon be in the poorhouse. The gas bill for last month was something appalling
 ''It was S4 20, I believe''
 'What you believe has nothing to do with the matter. If it wasn't S75 or $50, it will be this month. Mrs. Bowser, do you know the principle on which gas meter works?'
 "No."
 ''Of course not, and yet you assume to criticse my actions There is bellows inside the meter. The bellows is arranged to force the gas through the pipes faster than it can be burned, and thereby profit the gas company. We have paid out thou sands of dollars for gas we never burned, and the time has come to call halt"

The Percys had arrived only two days before in hopes to remove the farmers wife, who was a relative. to their home in the valley. The woman was iIl-too i'll to stand the journey, and they would wait for a few days in hopes of an improvement. The house had been visited daily by parties from both armies. but thus far no violence had been offered nor had anything been taken from the farm.

she said when opportunity came. This is no longer a question of what state may or may not do. It is no longer Vir- ginia, but a southern confederacy. Do you feel the same obligation?"
 Does the same obligation exist?" he queried in reply.
 Certainly not. 1 have dared to so as- sert and have almost been called trai- tor for my language. One does not need to be politician or the daughter of a politician to realize that the success of the newborn confederacy means the downfall of the republic. And yet Vir- ginians cannot return to their homes and lay aside their weapons of war"
