A DAUGHTERS LOVE.
GALILEo AND HIS SWEET MARIA
CELESTE.
From the Cloister the Lovely Nun
Cheered and ConsoIed Her Great
and Prosecuted Father.
BY SARAH K. BOLTON.

In, the sad, hard life of Calico there
is one bright ray of sunshine, the love
of Maria Celeste The SON of a poor
musicians and dealer in cloth, Calico
learned early what self-sacrifice and
economy meant. Skillful in music,
loving poetry and art, his father de-
cided that he should study medicine,
because this would bring an income,
while the lad might quite likely starve
over music and poetry.
He longed to study mathematics and
when the professor taught Euclid, the
medical student would stand shyly at
the schoolroom door and listen. This
his father soon forbade, as it would
perhaps hinder his medical work.
Birth of the Pendulum.
When he was 10, meeting at prayers
in the Pisa Cathedral, and dreamily
watching a bronze lamp swing from
an arch, the idea came to him that ain
instrument could be made which
should mark the rate and variation of
dulum which half a century later was
applied to clocks. When the young
man graduated from the medical
school, he was unable to take his de-
gree because too poor to pay for it.
His father asked the reigning duke to
grant his son one of the forty free
places founded for poor students in the
university at Pisa, but the request
was denied.
Calico now wrote q valua BILE essay
on gravity. but it waited fifty years
for publication! After some years, a
friend obtained for him a mathemati-
cal professorship at Pisa, with salary
of less than hundred dollars annual
ly. To help out this small income
Calico practiced medicine, gave
lectures on Darlto and other literary
SUBJECTS and had private pupils.
After three years at Pisa he was OBJ
liged to resign. because he did not
follow the teachings of Aristotle. The
friend who had aided him before, now
obtained for him a professorship at
Padua. He was becoming known, and
life would now be easier, when an
unexpected burden came to him.
Bearing Great Burdens.
His father died and the support of
a mother and four children fell en-
tirely upon him. His sister, Virginia,
had married before her fathers death,
and now her husband demanded the
marriage portion which had never been
paid, or he would arrest Calico and
throw him into prison.
Another sister, Livia, could not
marry unless the proposed bride
groom were given 1900 uucats, Of
which 800 must be paid down. Calico
borrowed 600 ducats and gave to him.
Calico had lazy brother for whom
he was always obtaining situa tions
and providing money. Some years
later this brother sent his wife, seven
children and a nurse to Calico to be
supported, and the indulgent brother
cared for them as best he could.
Wonderful Discoveries.
In the midst of all this distraction
and care, Calico pursued his learned
career He wrote and lectured, in
vented the compass and the thermo-
scope, or heat indicator, and made the
first telescope. He began early to
study the heavens; he found that the
milky way was composed of an i'm
mense number of stars; that the
pleiades numbered not seven stars, but

THE AWFULLY FAT WOMAN.
What She Must Do to Reduce Hsr
AdipOse Tissue.

What She Must Do to Reduce Hs-
AdipOse Tissue.
In large cities, says Womankind. mid
die aged women throng the gymnasium
and physical culture schools to learn how
to reduce the too abundant flesh and keep
off the rheumatism which is too often an
accompaniment. The woman who does
her own homework has most of her
muscles called into service every GAY. and
the danger with her is that they are
overexercised; still, much relief can be
received by spOnglng every night after
hard labor with The following inexpen-
stve lotion: Two ounces of spirits of
ammonia, two ounces of spirits of cam
phor, one and One-half cups of sea salt,
one cup of alcohol and one quart of rain
water.
The woman whose face and throat are
thin can remedy the thinness by frequent
bathing in cool water, and before retir-
ing rubbing in some good cream. In rub
bling the wrinkles should be rubbed
against so as to rub them out, and it is
as much in the rubbing as in the cream.
A nice bit of soft flannel rubbed several
times daily over the face will be bene-
fetal, and she whose double chin detra6ts
from her good looks can, by judiciousDy
rubbing downward, get rid of the super
fuity

this was an impossibility to obtain, one
who had wit enough to read up in the
countless literature upon that subject to

sion of first-hand ideas The girls who
serve refreshments should be in Chinese
dress and should have little apartment
carefully fitted up to simulate one of
the picturesque restaurants. The food
may be tea, in shallow cups, without milk
and very strong, and slipped with the aid
of tiny porcelain spoons. Preserved
fruits, odd nuts, and small cakes should
be the sole other refreshments.

Hcney's Sentences.

In passing sentence upon James

"James Heney, you. have been in

THE SOURCE OF MIR MOODY'S
WEALTH.

The fact that Mr.. Moody has a
pocket has been largely dwelt upon
by his enemies, and the amount aud
source OF its contents are subjects OF
curious speculation, says Prot. Drum
mond IN McClure's magazine. |
shall suppose the critic to be honest,
and dIyuige TO nm a tact which the
world has been slow to learE-the
secret OF Mr. Moody's pocket. 1t
IS, briefly, that Mr. Moody is the
owner OF one OF the most paying lit
erary properties III existence. 1t is
the hymn-book, which, first used at
his meetings IN conjunction with Mr..
SanKey, whose genus created 1t, is
now IN universal use throughout The
civilized world. Twenty years ago
he offered 1t tor nothing to d dozta
different publishers, but none OF them
would look at it. Failing to find
publisher, Mr.. Moody, with almost
the last lew dollars ne possessed,
had it printed in London IN 1873:
The copyright stood IN his name:
any loss that might have been sui
tered was his; and TO any gam, by
all the laws olbusiness, he was justly
entitled. The success, slow at first,
presently became gigantic. The two
evangelists saw a fortune IN their
hymn-book. But they saw some
thing which was more vital to them
than iortune-that the buSyUbdy
and the evll.tongued would accuse
them, il they but touched one cent of
1t, OF preaching the gospel for gain,
What did they do? They refused to
touch lt-l'terally even TO touch it.
The royalty was handed direct from
the publishers to company OF well
known business men in London,
who distributed it to various chart
ties. When the evangellstS lett Lon
don, a similar committee, with Mr..
W. +. Dodge at Its head was formed
in New York. For many years this
committee faithfully disburSed the
trust, and finally handed over its re-
sponsibllity to committee of no
less weight and honor-the trustees
OF the Mortified semlnaries, to be
used hencetorth in their behalf Such
is the history OF Mr.. Moody's pocket.
