Other Suns Than onrs.

II our sun could be as far removed
from us as are the seven stars it would
hardly be visible in an opera glass, yet
there are sixty or seventy such groups
as the Pleiades in sight every night,
each group being composed of scores Of
suns larger and more brilliant than
that which makes life on our world
possible. Alcyone Is @ sun 1000 times
more brilliant than our ''orb of day."
and Electra and Maia are each 500
times larger than Old Sol Several OF
these immense sun groups (taken col
lectively and not reckoned on the basis
of individual members) are believed to
be as much as 10000, 100000 In diam

why Is tho Negro plack2

II the conclusions of M. Jauffert, the
great French scientist, are to be relied
upon, there is no reason why the skin
of the African should be black and that
of the Scandinavian of milky fairness
that is to say, there are no apparent
causes for this wide variation in color.
Jauffert says: "The skin of the African
negro is of exactly the same anatom-
ical structure as that of the fair
skinned, faxen-haired Norseman. Il
may also be shown that In the mucous
layers of the skin of dark-complexioned
whites pigment cells similar to those
found in the Negroes skin are developed
In exactly the same way they are in the
blacklist African. Moreover, freckles
are of the same nature as the blackness
which has suffused the entire skin Of
many of the tropical barbarian tribes. |"

Cansed by Bad Teeth.

Mouth dyspepsia is coming to be a
very common disorder. 1t has further
been repeatedly demonstrated that a
decayed tooth is frequently the start
ing point of a py@mie process, and il
has also been shown that tubercular
and other disease germs may find en-
trance to the body through cavities in
decaying teeth. Unjust not be forgot
ten also that these cavities are the IA
vorite hubitat of many pathogenio
microbes, which, feeding upon parti-
cles of retained food. speedily develop

such. 1t cannot be ignored, neither
can it be consoled away. 1t must be
accepted, and allowed to wear itself
out. AS rule, readjustment comes
slowly. Sorrow, grief and the emo
ton caused by all great misfortunes
should be regarded as akin to acute in
fictitious diseases, which they resemble
in result; and later, as conva1escence
from such diseases. In this class OF
illness, seclusion, rest, sleep, appro-
pirate food, fresh air, sunshine and in
terests that tax neither mind nor body,
are required. After extreme sorrow,
the nervous system needs, above every
thing, complete rest. The poison of
grief is more than name. To urge
work, study, travel, the vain search for
amusements, is both useless and dam
gerous. For time the whole organ
ism is overthrown and temporary SCI
clusion Is imperative for proper read
justment. Recent medical observations
show that the physical results Of de-
pressing emotions are similar to those
caused by bodily accidents, fatigue,
chill, partial starvation and loss Of
blood. Birds, moles and dogs, which
apparently died in consequence Of cap
ture and from conditions that corre-
spond in human beings to acute nos
talgia and "broken heart" were ex-
amined after death as to the condition
OF their internal organs. 1t was found
that the nutrition of tho tissues had
been interfered with, and the subssance
proper of various vital organs had un-
dergone the same kind of degeneration
as that brought about by phosphorus
or the germs of infectious disease.

The Cuban War.

A New Yorker lately returned from
Cuba believes the Cubans will win their
fight for freedom. 1t will, he says, re-
quire probably two years to settle the
matter, but his firm have sdvices from the
interior of Cuba stating that the workmen
on the tobacco plantations are abandon
ing labor and are joining the rebels in
their struggle. The Spanish, he says,
are just now fighting against long odds.
The new recruits being brought from
Spain are dying from fever on every hand,
and those that are esca ping the rebels are
being carried off by sickness before they
get acclimated. He believes that bust
ness will be practically suspended in Cuba
within the next few months, when the
natives will devote themselves to Sight
ing.
The Spanish authorities keep wonder
fully well posted in Cuba on the move
ments of the rebels, and any person who
goes there. All mail matter is opened
by the authorities before delivery, and
anything relating to the rebellion is con-
fscated and destroyed. The chief cause
of tho insurrec ton and uprising, Nj. Flah-
erty says, is the outrageous and unreason-
able way j n which Cubans and visitors to
Cuba are taxed. The hotel-keepers are
required to afix a government stamp op-
poste the name Of each guest as he regis
ters. The stamp must be paid for by the
hotelkeeper. but is charged into tho hotel
bill by him so that the visitor pays the
tax. The stamp is similar to that used
for playing cards by the Internal Revenue
Bureau of the United States. The stamps
are placed upon all mail matter after it ar
rives there, and must be paid for by the
receiver before the mail can be lifted. The

Owning a Governor.

II would like to know how 1t feels 10
own governor
Such was a remark credited to Senator
Quay Just before Delanater's nomination,
and it has gone down in political history
as one of the junior senator's worst breaks.
People who are well acquainted with
the present contest in Pennsylvania say
that ouay's famous expression explains
the whole course of the fight. 4 well
known Philadelphia gentleman, who has
held some places of honor in the State, in
speaking on this subject said:
srWhen Senator Quay, something over
four wears ago, said be would like to know
what it felt like to own governor ne
probably did not know that 1t was JUST
that feeling that would drive him from
politics Now, Senator Qnay mas never
experienced the delightful sensation OF
owning a governor for the reason that the
naonIa at the uolls defeated his man Della
mater. and Gen. Hastings is the governor
of the whole people and not the creature
of one man or any set of men. Quay dis
coversd that he could not own Gen. Hast
ings. However, he knew that he would
he recognized like any other leading Re
nnblican. but this did not satisfy the 'old
man He knew time was fleeting. that
he was getting old, and that if he wanted
10 own a governor he would have to hurry
mn Then he sent an emissary to the gov
ernor with such demand that II 1t was
granted it meant that the governor would
really be owned by Quay. OF course the
governor refused the demand, and quay
then started on his fight of extermlnation.
He decided to take the bull By the horns
and wipe out every man in politics, and II
successful he would nominate, elect and
own a governor all to himself The Re
nublican workers who had gone along
with Quay for so long, decided that 1t was
time to serve notice on the 'old man that
he could not use the Republican party 10
vent his personal spite, and, as result,
the active Republicans all over the State
have turned against Quay and he is defeat
ed. He is worse defeated than even
his oppouents think he is. This man quay
was defeated the day the people in Laeka-
wana county voted for State delegates
senator Quay chose his own battle
ground. He chose Lackawana and oppo-
nents decided to fight him on the ground OF
his own choosing They fought, and the
Ouav flag was hauled down. From that
minute Quay was defeated. de may Try
to 'Svengalize' these delegates, but 1t is no
use. All the jnnior senator needs IS lew
more Lackawannas and he will withdraw
from the fight Now. am not one OF the
men who believe Quay should be annlhl-
lated. | believe he should be taught a
lesson and given to plainly understand the
difference between leadership and dlcta-
tion."
