ONE HUNDRED MILLION STARS.

How Astronomers Compute the Number
 in the Heavens
 Let us see what richness of stellar distribution is implied by this number of 100, 100000 of visible stars, says the Gentleman's Magazine. It may be easily shown that the area of the whole sky in both hemispheres is Al. .255 square degrees. This gives 2,424 stars to the square degree
 The moons apparent diameter being slightly over half a degree (31 deg. 5 min.). the area of it's disk is about one fifth of a square degree.
 The area cf the whole star sphere is consequently about 100000 times the area Of tic &s.-l moon. A total of 1OO,- 0O0,0GJ of stsrs gives therefore 800 stars to each s,7aee of sky in area to the full moon This seems large number, but stars scattered over as thickly as this would appear at considerable dis tance apart when viewed with a tele- scope of hish power. As the area of the moons disk contains about 7SO square minutes of are, there would not be an average of even one star to each square minute. A pair of stars half q minute, CT thirty seconds, apart would form very wide double star, and with stars placed at even this distance the moons disk would cover about 5000. or six times the actual number visible in the largest telescope.

Barbarous features Taers of the Marriage
 CuSt2.lS.


 Customs.
 For waRoo1 cruelty in the capture o1 bride we must go to Greenland There we find something more than simulated violence in the method oi capture and the means by which the girl is retained. Dr. Nansen, in his ac- count of his journey Across Green land, says that or the west coast mar riage nowadays roughly follows the lines of marriage in Europe. but on the east coast old customs prevail A man having made up his mind to take to himself wife, goes to the tent of a family, one of whose girl members meets his views, catches her by the hair or in some other equally rude way, and drags her forth to his homo. He there presents her with bucket or some useful domestic utensil, and the ceremony is complete.
 According to Baron Nordenskiold, etiquette requires that the bride should receive hard blows. She does not sub init readily, but bewails her fate, ap- pears with torn garments and dishev- eled hair, and makes show of getting away from her husband. Sometimes her grief is sincere, and sensitive European would certainly not know whether t was or not He might be tempted to interfere, in which case he would probably find himself opposed by the bride as well as bridegroom. In order that the apparently miserable woman might be compelled to remain in her new home, the barbarous GUS tom used to exist of branding her feet so that they were too painful for her to walk. By the time they were well she could with propriety declare her self resigned to her position.
 In Greenland, it is easy to tell who is married and who is not. The Esqui- maux women gather up their hair into huge tuft OF the top, tying it with ribbon, the color of which denotes their position. i maid wears red, a married woman blue, widow, black; a widow anxious to remarry, black and red; widow too old to remarry, white.

THE BRAIN ANE THE HEART.
If Properly Used They Largely Escape
 Senile Failure.

If Properly Used They Largely Escape senile Failure.
 In his work on the senile heart Dr. Balfour tells us that there are two parts of the human organism, which, if wisely used, largely escape senile fail ure, , says the Troy Times. These two arc the brain and the heart. Persons who think have often wondered why brain workers, great statesmen and others, should continue to work with almost unimpaired mental activity and energy up to a period when most of the organs and functions of the body are in Q condition of advanced senile decay. There is physiological reason for this, and Dr. Balfour tells us what it is. 1.-The normal brain," he affirms, remains vigorous to the last," and that because its nutrition is specially provided for" About middle life or little later the general arteries of the body begin to lose their elasticity and to slowly but surely dilate. They become, therefore, much less efficient carriers areas. But this is not the case with the internal cortids, which supply the capil- lary ot the nutrient blood to the capil- lary areas of the brain. On the contrary, those large vessels continue to re- tain their pristine elasticity, so that the blood pressure remains normally high CT than within the capillary area of any organ in the body. The cerebral blood paths being thus kept open, the brain tissue is kept better nourished than the other tissues of the body.'' Who is there among those who. have reached or passed middle age that will not be rejoiced to find such admirable physiological warrant for the belief that the brain may continue to work, and even to improve, almost to the very last hour of life?

Long Branch, Aug. S.-I.ong Branch, af-

This bicycle path. know those who have

coast, certainly through New Jerseys
long stretch Of coast, and much further.
Now, even an average cyclist, mounting

as far as Saratoga; or can go south to
Washington with reasonably good roads
all the way
Those two very interesting young ma
irons, Mrs. c. Oliver Iseiin and Mrs. Hoo
bart Chatfield-Taylor. both of whom have
been at Southampton enjoying the de-
lights of golfing on Long Island, have been
attracted out to enjoy the cycle path, and

named by that special daughter of theirs.
there was much rejoicing The natives

The wives of politicians are prominent
this summer. You see them and hear
of them--as you hear of the politicians
themselves. For one thing, they are ex-
pected to answer a voiuminous daily cor
respondence, replying to whoever may
write; and for another, they must be
hostess TO every other politician who may
happen to be In that part OF the country.
It is on this account that Mrs. Brice, at
Newport, has had to employ Sanford
Beattie as a major domO, to conduct her
establishment and leave her time to en-
Joy the summer. And it is for that reason
that Mrs. Levi p. Morton has fed from
Elerslie and from the camp in the Adj
rondacks to come to Long Branch and
board at a hotel for few weeks. At the
same hotel is Abner Mckinley, shining
with fraternal light.
Mrs. Roswell p. Flower too, has for
saken home cares for the summer and Is
living in a hotel in Saratoga. But the
greatest change is for the Mortons. whose
housekeeping tales az that country place
of theirs have made fine paragraphing
for time without tell. They are resting
very quietly here. Mr.. Morton looks a lit
tie shrunken and worn, but his eye is
bright and that, they Say, is the mark Of a
young man. He can swim and dive and
enjoys driving fast horses.

GEMS FROM MONTANA.
Fergus County Disgings Disclose
Some Beautiful Gems.
From the chicago Record.

From the chicago RECORD.
Helena Mont, Aug. s.-The industry OF
sapphire mining seems to have received a
new impetus and to be opening up very
successfully in the western part of Fergus
county, in what is known as the Yago dis
trlct For number of years Montana sap
phires have met with considerable favor,
both at home and abroad but the stones
which are now being mined in Fergus
county appear to be of an entirely differ
ent character from those heretofore found
in other parts Of the state and seem like
ly to be much more popular, especially in
the east.
Most OF the Montana sapphires which
have been on the market for the last few
years, while exceedingly hard and lus-
trous, have lacked the rich coloring pos
sessed by the oriental gems. A few have
been pronounced very fine stones but the
majority are almost colorless or OF pale
blue or yellow or often even a greenish
tinge. This was particularly true or those
found upon the western side of the range,
and while some preferred the light-colored
stones, yet as a rule the dark-blue stones,
until recently quite rare, met with the
greatest favor
Another objection which has been urged
against the iight-colored sapphires OF
Montana, especially by eastern tourist who
have purchased them as souvenirs OF their
visit TO the northwest, is that upon being
taken away from their native climate with
its high altitude and rare. dry atmosphere
they quickly lose their lister and become
dull and faded with no more beauty than
has a bit of colored glass. But this com
plant has never been brought against the
dark-blue sapphres. which are now being
extensively mined on the eastern side Of
the mountains and, strange to say. none
of the light stones are found in this mine
The owners Of this claim find no diiicui-
ty In dlsposing Of their sapphires at fair
prices as fast as they are mined. In adj
dftion TO several hundred dollars worth
which have been purchased by local Jew
elers. a big house in New York recently
bought 5000 carats of the sapphires and
made a proposal that the operators should
enter into a contract with them 10 sell
them all that they Mined as the New
York house pronounced the stones excep-
tiohally fine.

ment. His men are promoted FOR efficiency
