Venus LOnC DIV

If the observers at Flagstaff are
right in their conclusions that Mer-
curry and Venus make but one revolu-
ton on their axis during their journey
round the sun, so that each day is a
year long, these planets cannot be in
habited by people constituted like those
on the earth. It has been supposed
that Venus at least was very similar
to the earth in it's phenomena and
characteristics, and might be peopled
by much Of the same kind of beings;
but as Venus period of rotation is
nearly the same as that Of the earth
it must have six months of uninter-
rupted sunshine and six Of continuous
night--conditions which, in the case Of
the moon, have been accepted as imply
ing unbearable heat during the day
and uncomfortable cold during the night
The Flagstaff observers have the best
opportunity for observing this difficult
planet that has yet been given to as
tronomers, and their conclusions are,
therefore, most likely, to be correct;
but it may be noted that Schroter and
the two Cassinis have all calculated
it's revolution to be accomplished in
about twenty-three hours and twenty
one minutes. The phenomena on
which their calculations are based,
however, were confessedly few and I'M
certain, and il they were Incorrectly
traced the conclusions drawn from
them are necessarily Notwithstanding

THE COMMON BLACK COAT.
It May he Superseded by One OF
Lighter Color. ~ 5ztszzi +.

It May he Superseded by One OF
Lighter Color. Il
1t would appear from one Of our
trade organs that tailors are becoming
q little anxious about the: prospects of
the black coat of civilization, They
fear it is in danger Of being suppressed
ed by. a garment Of lighter hue, if not
Of variegated pattern. Perhaps, if
they were to give, voice to the deeper
apprehensiOns. they would say that
there was more at stake than the black
coat. There can, at any rate, be little
doubt, whether the tailors are willing
to admit it or not, that;with the fate
of, the black coat is bound up that of
the black waistcoat. Whether the two
have been lovely and pleasant in their
lives is matter of opinion, but we
feel sure that in death they would not
be divided.
We mean no disrespect to the vest
in describing it as parasite of the
coat. 1t is an humble dependent,
which has only found it's way into So
ciety under the wing of it's influential
patron, TO- whom it adheres with sim
gle-breasted fidelity rewarded on the
other side by an attachment which is
during the summer months.
The trousers, it is true, are connected
with the upper garments by no such
feudal tie; but their own opinion is
complete, and, except in very hot
weather, indossuluble. Hence, the far
sighted tailors no doubt perceive clear
~ enough that if the black coat goes

Animated by the restless spirit of
the age, it's Impotence of sobriety and
it's thirst for change and color in cos
tune, as in life, there is a school Of
so-called reformers who are endeavor-
ing to urge the wearers of black coats
to revolt Let them give free play, ex-
plain their anarchistic counselors, to
'their taste. in checks and stripes"
and they will be able to cut far more
picturesque figure at a far smaller an
nual outlay. With the outlay, of
course. the public is not concerned,
though that matter, doubtless, is not
without it's interest for the tailors; but
we own to some uneasiness at the idea
OF the entire community INDUCING
it's multifarious taste in checks and
stripes in a headlong pursuit of the
picturesque.
We have all of US, indeed, seen the
experiment tried under very favorable
circumstances, but with little more
than dubious results, by those little
bands Of vocal and instrumental art
lists, generally six or eight in number,
who are usually. to be met with at race
meetings or on the sands Of popular
seaside resorts at this time Of the
year. These pioneers of dress reform
have entirely discarded the black coat,
preferring one Of gayer color, with no
ticeable-elongated tails, and the free
dom with which they indulge their
taste in checks and stripes may almost
be said to border upon license. Yet
the effect, even with the addition of an
open shirt collar of Elizabethan pro-
portions, a corked face and a banjo,
cannot be described as entirely pictur.

a STRANGE CASE.
PARTIAL Loss OF Memory After q Ter.
ribIe Railway Accident.

PARTIAL Loss OF Memory After q Ter.
ribIe Railway Accident.
One OF the victims Of the Atlantic
Citymeadows railroad horror Is Fran
els A. Morell, who lives with his faith
er at East Orange, N. J.. lie is So years
old, unmarried, and was, prior to the
accident, connected with the law Office
of his brother-in-law, George Clymer,
In Newark. f.t;s. E.as: . .
The remarkable feature Of the case
is the fact that, while slowly returning
to his normal physical condition, his
mental condition lis such that he re-
calls nothing Of the accident. When
spoken. to upon the subject of the
collision he denies any recollection Of
it, or that he was in it, and attributes
the pain in his head to neuralgia. i
He was taken out of the wreck at
a. point almost under one of the locomo-
tives. He reads the newspapers, en-
tiers earnestly and intelligently into a
conversation, and seems as clear-mind-
ed as any one else, except OH the subj
ject Of the accident.
When Morrell was taken to Atlantic
City Sanitarium after the accident it
was found that he WAS practically
scalped OH the left side of his head,
his ear was torn off with the scalp,
and the skin from the left side of his
face almost around to the point Of
his jaw. His left shoulder blade was
badly fractured and the bones of his
shoulder were broken. His left arm
was badly injured, his legs were a
mass Of bruised and liberated flesh,
and he was crushed about the lower
part Of the trunk Of his body $40 badly
as to cause severe internal Injuries,
which make his restoration to almost
normal physical condition little short
Of marvellous. His external wounds
are nearly all healed, except where his
ear was torn.
Owing to the remarkable recovery
from his physical wounds, the doctors
now entertain the hope that what is
now a blank to him may return to his
memory and his recovery be complete.
His conversation with members of
the family is often sharp and bright.
In many Instances, however, the in
PREVENTION of few hours time will
apparently obliterate from his memory
all trace of the conversation, and he
will deny that it took place or that
certain things were done. On the other
hand, matters which it was not be-
ieved he could well remember he re-
called with ease, two, three, or four
days after their occurrence. In fact,
he understands and talks we'll about
everything except the accident and
anything pertaining to it, and while he
listens with interest to anything said
about it, he declares earnestly that
he knows nothing of it, and that it
never happened, in spite of his fright

Short Story Of the Civil War Told
by an Old Soldier.
"WheneEer: I see pile Of shovels
stacked upon the sidewalk in front
of hard ware store" said an old SOL
dier, ut makes me think of a pile Of
shovels l saw once stacked up at the
end Of a traverse in an earthwork
at the time of the civil war. There
were siege guns and mortars of one
size and another in batteries scattered
along these worl2s-in the particular
| battery that I speak Of there were
two 1O0pound riued guns. There was
a traverse between the two guns, and
one on the outer side of each, a trav-
:erse, you understand, being a. short
ridge of earth running back from the
line In front. and at right angles with
lit to protect the gun and the gunners
from lateral fire. This pile of shovels
lay at the end Of one Of the outer tray
erses, to the left Of the piece that I
worked on. There were six or eight
men on the gun. :.
federate mortar battery dropped
ploded the instant it struck Our own
gun bad just been fred, and the ,men
were all standing scattered around to
the rear of the gun carriage, none of
them far away from the shovel pile,
and all OF them right in open range,
not protected, as some of them, any
way, would have been a minute earlier
by standing over on the other side of
the gun, and the gun and the gun car
riage between them and the shovels.
"The air was filled with smoke, and
fragments and splinters of shell and
shovels were flying in all directions
There wasn't man but what expected
to have his head knocked off by
piece of she'll, or to be cut in two by
shovel blade, or at least to have the
handle of a shovel stuck through him.
But the fragments of shell. all flew
past, the shovels all came down, and
the smoke cleared away. and nobody
had even a scratch. Then the men all
laughed and went to loading the 100.

MASTER OF THE WHIT.

The Performances of Artist in
the Whip1ash Line.
An Austro-Hungarian named Piski-
slug has created a sensation in Vienna
by his wonderful performances with
the whip. The first thing he does is to
take a long-lashed, stout-handled whip
In each hand, and, with orchestral &C.
compartment, proceed to crack or snap
them at a terrific rate. The sound
made by his whips in this manner is
graduated from a noise like rifle re-
port to the soft click Of billiard ball.
1t makes a curious sort of music, and
serves to show low he can regulate
the force Of each stroke. Moro inter-
est is evinced when he seiZes vicious
looking whip with an abnormally long
lash. 1t is provided with very
heavy handle of medium length: This
is his favorite toy, and what he can do
with it is 1eally wonderful. He first
gives the: idea Of what fearful force
may lie, in a whiplash in the hands of
an expert. A large frame, over which
is stretched calf or sheep skin, is
brought on the stage. This is marked
with dots of red paint. The man with
the whip steps up, and, swinging the
lash around his head, let's fly at the
calf skin. With every blow he actual
ly pulls a piece out of the leather, leav-
ing a clean-cut hole. These pieces are
distributed among the audience to
show that there is no trickery about
the performance. After this he takes
a frame with three shelves. On these
there are a dozen or more of medium
sized apples lying very close together
and provided with large numbers.
Any one in the audience may desig-
nate which apple he wishes struck,
and the unerring lash snatches it out
like flash. A still more difficult feat
is the Swapping Of coins from mar
row-necked bottle. A piece of silver
about the size of a half-crown is put
over the cork Of a bottle, which stands
on the edge of q table. The whip art
list, without appearing to take any sort
of aim, sends the long lash whizzing
through the air and picks off the coin
without Earring the bottle, much less
breaking it.-London Tid-Bits. .

B ADVICE TO FARMERS.
BY II. II. Carr Co, the Farmers Con.
M mission House, 4

mission House, taz
We are In the midst OF an exciting
political campaign; the great cities
are stirred by monster demonstrations.
The great orators hold forth every
night In halls, wigwams, and tents. Po-
lltical leaders are busy figuring out the
result In advance Of the election. Thou
sands OF men In the eiiaploy OF the ma
tionai committees are. ascertadning' as
near as possible how each city ward,
how, each branch of organized labor,
how each city will vote. One thing no
man, NO set Of men, no campaign COM
mittee, no political party can tell In
advance, that is, how the farmers Of
the country will vote. The one great
question to-day is: How do the farm
ers feel about it? We mention this
only to illustrate point in practical
business matters. -,-.z a., III. ~
Agricultural workers are learning
their power in politics. They can make
or unmake state legislatures. They do
it by initiating the methods. of labor
in cities, by working together. They
do not need local unions. They can
work in our grand intellectual union
for their common good. They have
done it in demanding legislation. They
are doing it now in way that makes
leaders tremble. They will act more
tntelligently and united in the future.
They find other things than politics to
call for their decision: They produce
what the world needs. They are study
ing new methods Of giving the fruit Of
their labors to the world. Recently an
army Of 100000 men marched through
Chicago's streets celebrating the TWEEN
ty-f1fth anniversary Of the great fire.
The farmers have for years fed a much
greater army; not only fed, but made
rich, presented with grain elevators,
private banks, fine houses, costly lux
1rria no N11
of middlemen. But there is a revolt
against dividing profits with this army
between the farm and the worlds big
markets.
This Independent action began with
this pioneer farmers commission house
the easy money-makers professional
shippers) at the stations over a dozen
states tributary to Chicago tremble.
The question: what are the farmers
going to do?'' bothers not politicians
alone, but all those who have been
getting something for nothing. Farm
ers are going to ship their own grain
not few or a hundred, but: an army
Of thousands. They know how, they
have tried it,, it pays. That is one
question answered by farmers.
See what few farmers say who
have tried shipping:

The Coffee-EatinE Habit.

The coffee-eating habit is on the in
crease, and it is probably the worst
that can be found, says a well-known
physician. Coffee, when boiled and
taken as a beverage, is not only unin-
furious. but beneficial, unless taken in
very great quantity, but when eaten
as roasted is productive of a train Of
ills that finally result in complete
physical and mental prostration.
have had a number Of cases Of the
kind, and they are as difficult to cure
as those arising from the opium habit.
The trouble is more prevalent among
young girls than any one elese. They
eat parched coffee without any definite
object, just as they eat soapstone
slate pencils, with much more disas-
trous results. The coffee-eater be-
comes weak and emaciated, the COM
plexion is muddy and sallow, the appe-
tite poor, digestion ruined and nerves
all unstrung. Coffee will give a few
minutes Of exhileration, followed with
great weakness. The victims nearly
die when deprived of the accustomed
gtimulan Washington Star. ... n
