The Word of an Indian.

While Indian Commissioner Pray
was at one of the agencies number
of young men drank whisky and
became unruly. They disturbed the
peace. They were tried and con-
victed and sentenced to do certain
number of days work on the high
ways.
The next morning the Indians un-
der sentence without guard of any
kind went to the place designated
and did their days work. Tho next
day they did the same, and SO on
until the terms Of their sentences
had been fulfilled. They never
shirked, and nothing was required
from them except their word that
they would fulfill the conditions of
the sentence.
Is the word of an Indian worth
more than the word of white man {

No Life on Jupiter.

Judged by our terrestrial experience,
which is all we have to go by, the
magnitude Of the planet, if it is to
bear life resembling that Of the earth,
is limited by other considerations.
Even Jupiter, which is as far as our
knowledge extends, represents the ex-
treme limit of great planetary size,
may be too large to become the abode
sfsliving beings of a high organization.
The force of gravitation on the sur
face Of Jupiter exceeds that on the
earth s surface as 264 to 1. Consid-
ering the effects Of this on the weight
and motion Of the bodies, the density
Of the atmosphere, the laws of pneu-
matics, ETC., it is evident that Jupiter
would, to say the very least, be an ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable place of
abode for beings resembling ourselves.
But Jupiter, if it is ever to become a
solid rocky globe like ours, must
shrink enormously in volume, since
tits only O.24 as compared with the
earth. Now the surface gravity Of a
planet depends on its mass and its
radius, being directly as the former
and inversely as the square Of the lat
ter. But in shrinkage Jupiter will
lose none Of its mass, although its ra-
dius will become much smaller. The
force of gravity will consequently in
crease on it's surface as the planet
gets smaller and more dense.
Hhe present mean diameter of Jupi-
ter is $500 miles, while its mass ex-
ceeds that Of the earth in the ratio Of
316 to /. Suppose Jupiter shrunk to
three-quarters Of its present diameter,
or GA 800 miles, then its surface gravi-
ty would exceed the earth's nearly
five times. With one-half OF It's pres
ent diameter the surface gravity
would become more than ten times
that Of the earth. On such planet a
man bones would snap beneath his
weight, even granting that he would
remain upright at all! Itwould seem,
then, that unless we are apt to aban-
don terrestrial analogies altogether and
Ego it blind" we must set an upper
limit to the magnitude Of habitable
planet, and that Jupiter represents
such an upper limit, if, indeed, he
does not transcend it.-I1putn Sci
encc Monthly.

I Lives to Be Kicked.

George Washington Oakes is the
imposing name of a Richmond (Fa)
darky, who has recently started on a
tour Of the towns and villages Of the
South with one of the most novel and
preposterous shows ever taken Oil the
road. The actors are three in num-
Der, Oakes playing the leading role, a
mule, with sledge-hammer hoofs. TAX
ing what may be described as the
heavy villain S part, and diminutive
colored boy acting as prompter and
scene-shifter.
The whole exhibition consists of a
single scene between the mule and the
leading man. Oakes braces himself
behind that section of the mule which
an architect would term his rear
extension" and awaits the kick which
the animal has been trained to launch
at his owners shins. The mule is a
terrific kicker, and the smashing hit
he delivers would completely demor-
alize an ordinary man ,and send him
to mediate over his sins in the near
est hospital ward. Not SO with Cakes,
however. Either because nature has
provided him with shinbones Of chill
ed steel or because he has discovered
some trick to prevent the mules hoofs
from striking fairly, he never flinches
or seems to be one whit the worse for
the terrible concussion of those iron
sshod feet.
After thus showing the spectators
that he cares no more for the heels OF
mule than for the push Of a baby s
pudgy fist, Oakes passes the hat, and
the novelty Of the entertainment never
fails to bring in shower Of coins.
Cakes has always refused to divulge
the secret oe his phenomenal powers
sefresistapce. That he is not provid-
ed with any great amount of padding
at. the point where the mules heels
land he has shown by barring his shins
when, as frequently happens, some
spectator betsmoney that he will not
dare to repeat the performance with
his trousers rolled up. On such occa-
sions Cakes has actually allowed the
mule to kick his bare shins, still with
no serious results.
Ter tell der truf, said Cakes,
when making little speech after a
recent performance, 'sAh dunno how
It's ah kin stan it mahself- Guess
5ah muss ben born wid stone bones.
Pom nah word, gemmen, alb don't
seem ter feel it at all
Aud Oakes's appearance both dur
ing the performance and afterit seems
to bear out his statement -PittsJuyg

A Sanitary Reform For the Mind.

1t is easy to demonstrate that the
mental health of the community is
a much higher concern than the
physical health and comfort. The
analogy suggests the extension of
protection. Take such detail as the
teeth in the mouths of the commu-
nifty. If there is needed a license for
the practice of dentistry, why not a
license for the practice of literaturei
If the teeth are ruined, science is
capable of furnishing new set, and
our blessed tariff lets them in free
of duty, which is more than it does
for set of literature. But there is
no way Of getting a new set of mind
if the mind is once demoralized by
reading year after year slovenly and
unframed writing. a person may
have the conceit that he is capable
of cutting his own eyeteeth, and so
he may be in matters of business,
but no young mind of a person who
can read is safe against the daily
decentralization of bad writing. If
the intellect of the public is of equal
Importance with its bodies, surely
it is worthy of equal protection. No
toriously it does not get it in the
matter of reading. l am not speak
ing now of vicious literature. That
comes under the head of niortals.
But men and women, boys and girls,
are daily making books and news
papers who do not know how to
write, who have neither skill, train
ing nor conscience in the matter.
They deluge the reading world with
q false product which does irrepara-
BILE injury to the unprotected public.

TranspIanting Shade Trees.

There is no better time to trans
plant shade trees than during the win
ter when the trees are dormant, as the
digging up and moving does not inter
fcre with their sap circulation at that
time. 1t pays to dig up quite large
trees to set out for shade, for then
they are of use in a year or two Dig
a ditch around the tree several feet
from the body, cutting of the roots
cleanly as they arc exposed Then
undermine She tree until it tips over.
Trim the top as closely as the roots
have been trimmed, roll the roots on IL
mud boat and snake it to the place
where it is to be set out Brace it so
it will not blow over, and in the
spring it will start into new and Wig
orous growth, and in Il year or two
make thick shade. Thousands of
trees we're dug up Oh The site Of the
World Fair and set out in another
place, in this way, and nearly every
enc of them is nice shade tree now.
