When measles once ran riot in girls

had great difficulty in persuading his skit-
fish patients to remain in bed and SO in
duce the perspiration absolutely necessary
to recovery. Every means was tried, but
to no avail. Tho girls found it impossible
not to just hop out from tho blankets in
order to run in and tell their next door
neighbors that it was decided to trim the
new hat, with hcliotropc, or that it was
true that Cousin Fred was actually engag-
ed, all of which seriously retarded recov-

Little Peter.

This is the real namo of the petrol, q
bird that lives on the sea. The harder il
storms the better he likes it, and the more
noise the sea makes the louder he cries.
The sailors, who are all so jolly, never
like to meet petrol. They are so dismal
in their coal black coats, and sea1nen think
they bring them ill luck too.
You could not guess how the petrol
sleeps. He first makes of himself feather
ball and sits on the water, just as your
canary does on his perch.
Why doesn't he sink? Because his feath-
ers are so oily he can't.
These birds grow so fat that, to the Door
islanders in very cold countries, they arc
invaluable. After they are dead wick is
drawn through their bodies and set on fire,
and you can hardly believe how well this
queer kind of lamp lights up their simple
huts.
The petrol never goes on shore except to
build her nest, which is hidden snugly
away between rocks, or in the sand. There
she lays her one egg and brings up her ba-
by. All day the petrol lives on the water,
but she never forgcts at night to feed it.
Sometimes they are called Mother Ca
rey's chickens. If you ever go across the
water, you may sec them some day.-Our
Little Ones.

HEREDITARY NEEDLES,
A Case That May Arouse Some Apprehen-
sion In the Rearing of Families.

Needles have never been supposed to be
hereditary, but % recent case reported by
a physician OF cmnence offers undoubted
evidence to the contrary. A lady acciden-
tally ran a needle into her foot 30 years
ago, and it lay apparently dormant in her
system for so many years that it's existence
was almost forgotten.
In 1878 she was married. and year aft
er the birth of her infant daughter the
needle made its appearance in the infants
shoulder. There could be no doubt that
1t was the original needle by which the
mother had been attacked in 1860, for 1t
was of a peculiar and now obsolete pat
tern, and the mother distinctly remember
cd that needles of that pattern were in use
at the time of her attack
There could be no doubt that tho infant
inherited the needle from her mother, and
that hcnceforth physicians will expect to
find natural tendency to needles In the
tissues
AS it is asserted that people have died
from needles, although there are very few
such cases on record the insurance COM
panies will doubtless add to the questions
which they put to candidates for insurance,
Ibid your father or mother ever swallow
needles, and, if SO, how many, and of what
kind-sewing, darning or carpet?''-Spars

Eating to Live.

DIR. Pavy, perhaps the most eminent au-
thority upon diet, says that the average
man in n state of absolute rest can 1.-Two on
Is ounces Of food II day A man doing
ordinary light work can 1.-Two on 90 ounces,
and q man doing laborious work needs
from 263I to 80 ounces.
This Is food absolutely free from water,
and it must be remembered that every
thing we cat contains more or less water,
SO that from AZ to 60 ounces of ordinary
food are necessary to the work in which a
man is engaged.
Sir Lyon Playfair, another great author
lty, gives the following as all that is ncces.
sary for healthy man to eat in week:
Ihree pounds of meat, with one pound Of
Fat; two ordinary loaves of bread ono
ounce OF salt and five pints of milk, or,
Tor the meat, five or six pounds Of oatmeal
may be substituted. The sounds like star

ally knows what he's talking about

THE SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE.
Miles Are Too Insignificant to he Used II
Its Computation.

Its Computation
While it is interesting to know tho dis
lance Of some of the stars in miles, when
stated In that way tho numbers are so
largo that they frequently convey very in
distinct conceptions to the mind. For this
reason it is customary to estimate stars
distances in slight years" A light year
is the distance that light, moving Mt tho
rate of 1856, 300 miles per second, travels in
one year. This amounts in round numbers
to s, $50, 900, 600, 900 miles. The distance
of Alpha Centaur Is 4. 35 light years, that
of Sirius, the dog star, Is almost exactly
twice as great, or SO light years. In other
words light requires S.6 years to come to
US from Sirius. And these are among the
very nearest of the stars. Some whose

than one or two centuries. The great star
Arcturus for instance, has, according to
DR.. Elkin, a parallax of only eightccn-thou-
sandths of a second Its distance must, in
that case, be about ISL light years, or more
than a thousand million million miles. And
if its distance is SO great, then, since light
varies inversely as the square of the dis
lance from its source, it can be shown
that Arcturus must actually give forth
s. 600 or g. 900 times as much light as the
sun yields.
Yet Arcturus Is evidently much nearer
than the vast majority of the stars are
Not one in million is known to have
parallax large enough even to be intclli-
gently guessed at. There may be stars
whose light requires thousands instead of
hundreds of years to cross the space sepa-
rating them from us.
We thus see that only a few points on
the nearer shores of the starry universe lie
