CONGRESS adjourned at p. ~.
last Thursday, the 9th. 1t was one
Of the shortest so-called "long" ses-
sions in the history of the govern
ment, and beyond the passage of the
usual appropriation bills little was
done. The program laid down by
Speaker Reid at the beginning of the
session was well adhered to. The
appropriations, however, will ex-
coed $500, 100000.
THE Democrats of Ohio county,
whether for gold or silver, are de-
termined to stand by the party, what
ever the platform may be. At the

raging a Compliment.

We have heard of a lady of rare
beauty who said, upon a certain oc-
casion, that the only real, disinter
ested compliment she ever received
was from a coal HEAVIER, who asked
permission to light his pipe in the
cleaning of her eyes.
Another compliment, true and
genuine, was paid by a sailor who
was sent by a captain to carry a let
ter to the lady of his love.
The sailor, having delivered his
missive, stood gazing in silent ad-
miration upon the face of the lady,
for she was very beautiful.
well. my good man., said she,
"for what do you wait? There is no
answer"

humble Difference, Il would like tc

SHOOTING STARS,


Blaze and Darken.
The shooting star is an oddly of the
very oldest kind. 1t is "a world Of itself
"a miniature planet - probably act
larger than the papier mache globe on
your study table or the rubber ball
with which tho schoolboys play three
cornered cat" but it is a world just the
anne. These baby planets are not al
ways round. as planets are generally
supposed to be, but are known TO DO in
oil sorts of queer shapes. Some are
square. others octagonal; some irregu-
lar and many cornered, while n is &C.
~casionally mot with which is smooth
as a brick or u cement paving stone.
Probably you have never heard of a
man Tor woman either, for that matter)
meeting with" q shooting star in any
Of his wanderings. Let us see how such
a thing might be possible.
The shooting star is originally a min
iature world, revolving around the sun
with as much regularity as the earth,
Jupiter, Venus or Mars. 1t keeps up
this unerring flight thousands OF even
millions Of years. Finally 1t reaches the
limit of its existence. Suddenly and
perhaps without any visible cause it
shoots off at a tangent. It is now u
Shooting star" Formerly 1t was a
world, but ever now it is not bright as
other stars are. Let us see what will
cause 10 to "fiame up like a gigantic
torch in the heavens" This particular
body tSat we are talking about shot off
from its orbit in the direction Of our
I earth. It's speed is not less than 30
miles a second, probably five times that.
In the great outer sea Of space 1t en-
counters no resistance to its headlong
flight. But wait. 1t is nearing the en-
velope of atmosphere which surrounds
our globe. What will be the result when
it comes i'll contact with 1.-THE air we
breathe?" THO first stratum it strikes
is SO attenuated that its resistance is
very slight. Yet the friction is great
enough to instantly raise the tempera-
ture of tho falling world. Within the
hundredth part of % second the dense
stratum Of atmosphere has been eucoun-
tered. The flight Of tho little world is
10Y perceptibly checked, the result be-
ing II sudden firing of tho mineral mat
tiers in the tono. There is an instanta-
neous burst of light, and then we see
the doomed representative of the minia-
ture planets i'll all its meteoric splendor.
Possibly the streak Of fire it leaves
athwart tho heavens will not appear to
be more than u few hundred feet long,
Certainly it will DO thin and short if
the little wcrld WINS not larger than a
football-because it will be almost in
stantly consumed as soon as II strikes
the denser portions Of the atmosphere.
On the other hand, If this world which
has so suddenly come TO an end was as
large MS a good sized barn when it start
cd, fragments of it weighing from 10 to
1000 pounds may reach the earth. 1t
is from these fragments that We learn
the shape and composition of the aerial
phenomenon referred to as shooting
stars. st. Louis Republic.

The bill went to the senate. a majority

What a Little Girl Said TO Victoria.

An amusing story of ingenious
childhood is told by former maid-of.
homo, in the service of Queen Vic
TORN, says the Youths Companion. A
little niece of hers visited her one day
ut the conrt. The Queen caught sight
of the child, and, pleased with her in
nocent prattlo, asked the lady-in-
waiting to have the little visitor come
to luncheon some day ut the palace.
The child was taken on nnnppointed
day to the royal table. While quite
unconscious Of the honor conferred
upon her she was quiet and well-be-
nnved, and not inclined to talk I'M
nec' s5arily. During the luncheon
coicken was served. The child ate
her portion with keen relish, and was
careful in the use of knife and fork.
Suddenly she stared Mt the Queen with
eyes like round towers Then point
ing her small finger in the direction of
her Mn rsty, she exclaimed with tone
of reproof:
20 piggie piggie!"
The queen had taken one of the
chicken bones quite ,leicately in her
fingers, but the carefully trained child
who had been warned in the nursery
that this WAS breach of propriety in
young people, could not refrain from
repeating nm expression that she had
often heard her govcrness use. Every
one at the table was startled, but the
Queen at once led in the laughter, en-
ioying quito keenly the joke at her
own expense.

English Ignorance of Canada.

The Canadians say that the English
people are Us ignorant of Canada as
they are Of Dahomey, and this criti-
cism applies TO government officials aS
we'll rs to citizens. Not long ago when
the embargo against American cnt'le
was adopted by Great Britain. the
minister of the colonies issued II proc
lamution excluding among Others al
castle shipped from the province OF
Toronto. There is no such province.
There is n city OF that name, but his
lordship might AZ well have said tn"
state of Boston or Pittsburg.
Then, again, last winter there was
built in England, ut tue expense OF the
Canadian government, new revenue
cutter for service on the lakes. When
it arrived, and the Canadian engineer
went aboard, he found II very costly
apparatus for condensing salt water
into fresh for the supply OF the bolt
ers, and when he called the attention
of the builders to 1T, they explained
that they supposed the water of the
lakes was salty, like that of the sea-

Sea water contains silver in some
quantity. 1t is often found deposited
on the copper sheathing of ships.
The ordinary speed of a house.fy is
twenty-five feet second; but when
chased it often attains a speed of 100
feet second.
An observatory for terrestrial mag.
natism has been established in con-
nection with the astronomical observ-
atory in Munich, and DR.. Franz Won
Schwarz has been made director.
A chair of ichthyology has recently
been established at Munich in connec-
ton with the Tierarztliche Hochschle
of that place. This seems to be the
first professorship of the kind ever
established.
Roentgen rays have been used to
take pictures of flowers. They show
the ovules inside the overy in an un-
opened bud. the seeds within seed
vessel, and even the veins upon the
white petals of flower.
Or. T. Eldridge Brown, a we'll.
known authority on color blindness,
says that women have much better
perception of color than men. For
the whole population he estimates the
percentage OF color.blind persons
is 3. 5, while DR.. Wilson puts it at 5.5.
There are many authenticated ex-
amples of increased power of mind
during sleep. One of the best known
is that in which the great naturalist
Agassiz successfully reconstructed

of fossil fish at which he had been
working unsuccessfully in his waking
moments for several weeks.
By actual count a naturalist took
two thousand tiny feathers from the
lining of single birds nest, while in
the construction of another 4S2 twigs
were found to have been employed.
In building the bird works from the
inside, sitting among the material and
twisting and weaving it into shape.
The mother bird assumes the respon.
sibility for the nest, the father follow
ing her about and helping her when
she will permit it.
