In the work OF NJ. F1ammarion on The
Planet Mars, says Ciel ct Terre lis
found a calculation of the astronomer
Phillips, of oxford. regarding the posi-
biity of the reflection by the Marian
seas OF the suns image as a luminous
point that could be seen from the earth
According 10 this calculation the image
thus reflected would measure one-twen-
tieth OF u second. and in an instrument
magnifyinS three hundred times, il would
be fifteen seconds. Phillips thought that
II the gray patches were really seas we
ought 10 perceive, from time to time an
Image OF this kind. In the same work is
found discussion of the same question
by Schiaparelli. who concludes that the
solar image reflected by the Marian wa
ter would have diameter of one-twenty-
fourth of a second, which does not differ
greatly from the preceding result Thus
II would shine like brilliant star of the
third magnitude. II would be less brill
liant, but 10 less luminous. in case the sea
were agitated. A Yorkshire astronomer.
Mr. Taylor, has recently treated the sub
Ject anew before the Royal Astronomical
Society of London. and has made fresh
computations. According to Mr. Picker
ing, the rejecting power of the planet
Mars Is only a quarter Of that Of Saturn.
If We call that OF Saturn the same as that
OF newly fallen snow, that is O.7S that az
Mars would be OF. Mr.. TAYLOR calls II

for the ratio OF the intensity of the solar
rehection In a water surface on Mars
and the total brilliancy of the whole Mar
tan disk This solar image
ought TO be easily visibly from here even
IN the canals IL they were composed en-
tireiy OF water. Mr.. Taylor adds that
from the Zimmerman Sea TO the Gulf of
aurora there Is series of seas perfectly
situated for rejecting the noonday sun
toward us. But nothing of the kind has
ever been noticed. The author therefore
concludes that this proves the non-exist
ence Of Marian seas. He adds that tho

Cedar For Cigar Boxes.

There are something like fourteen
million cigar boxes used in the United
States annually, and about nine-tenths
of this number are made in this city,
where the trade rivals the clothing in
dustry in point of capital invested and
the number of people employed, said
leading cigar box manufacturer in
New York to the writer yesterday.
The material out of which the best
boxes are made comes principally from
Cuba, and is known as Spanish cedar.
The recent war with Spain has short
ened the supply and increased the
price Of the article to such an extent
that many boxmakers, whose stock of
cedar was small early last spring have
been compelled to use cheaper and
less desirable grade of wood for the
purpose.
One New York firm has been ex-
perimenting with timber from the un.
explored Paraguayan forests, which
are sul to contain the finest cedar
wood in the world They have, how
ever. experienced considerable Difficult.
" IN selling their boxes, as cigar man
ul4cturers aud connolsseurs insist that
it spolls a fine cigar to put 1t in any
box not made Of genuine Spanish CO.
dar. The latter wood always retains
the flavor of gooi cigar The rea-
son given is that 1t grows in the same
localities as the best Havana tobacco.
Attempts made to use cedar grown
in the United States for cigar boxes
have not been very successful. The
Florida and South American cedar
contains a peculiar gum that melts
when the wood is exposed to the heat
of store or house, and thus the labels
and sometimes the cigars in box are
spoiled. Of course, the smokers OF
cheaper brands Of cigars are less par.
ticular about the quality Of the wool
used for their boxes, and a veneered
cedar, made from a peculiar sort OF
cedar that grows in Mexico, is often
substituted for the Spanish article.
But it cannot be done without the
cigar dealers finding it out, and the
consequence is that even good clg'r
when packed in such a box sells at
a disadvantage Washington Star.

Stick 10 the Country.

Boys, stick to the country. You
have a better chance to be somebody
and get ahead there than in the city.
In the great cities a few rise, many
fall. The temptations are greater
The Good Book says, Enter not into
temptation" and good sense endorses
the book. But going to the city, un-
less in obedience to a call Of proy-
dence, is going into temptation. Don't
do it. You may be strong, but do
not 60 where you have nothing to
gain and everything to lose.
1t is no promotion to leave a farm
and become a drummer for some busi-
ness-house, and knock about the coun-
try for few years without home, 10
be superseded, by and by, by young
er, sprightlier victim Stay at home.
Be content to make yourself a place
where you may marry and live and
die in ripe old age, beloved and hon
oied by your fellows, to whom your
virtues have long been known.
Stay at home stick to the country
there is money in it in the long run.
You will live longer, have more COM
fort, make more friends, and be more
useful, a hundred to one, than il you
60 to the city to swell the long, mel
ancholy list Of ruined boys.
Stick to the country from intelli.
gent choice, not from fear. Look at
it's great advantages. and prefer what
it offers to what the deceitful city can
promise.
In the name Of God Jet this mad
rush to the city be stopped ! Keep
them out Of the dens whose victims
they become. 1t is the boys from the
country that swell the number Of
roughs in the cities. Teach them con-
tentment amid the innocent joys Of
home. Thus Jet them be saved.

A Bamed Tigress.

An officer in the Bengal I,ancers,
who was seized by tigress, owed his
escape to.a curious incident. The IL
gress seized him by the breast Of his
coat and shook him till be became un-
conscious. On recovering he heard a
strange noise at little distance, as If
somebody was sneezing violently. II
was the tigress herself. He turned
slowly round and gave a furtiye
glance in that direction. He could
hardly believe his eyes. There was
the tigress sinking off with her tail
very much between her legs and sneez-
ing most violently and making the
most piteous grimaces. The truth
dawned'upon him like fash Of light
ming. In the operation Of shaking
him his snuffbox had flown open from
his waistcoat pocket, and the tigress
had received the contents thereof IN
her face.

A Pathetic Coincidence.

The surgeons and nurses at ST.
Mary's Hospital were unusually dis
tressed over the death few days ago
of Private Henry J, Wind, of Company
D, Third New York Regiment. The
hospital attaches had taken an especial
interest in Winds case, and everything
possible was done to save him, The
surgeons, after a consultation, decided
that his only chance Of recovery lay
in the performance of delicate sur
gical operation. The surgeons did
their work well, but the patient col
lapsed under the knife. They carried
him back to his cot in the ward, and
realized that he had but few minutes
to live. The soldier, who seemed to
understand his own condition fully,
clutched one Of the doctors by the
sleeve and said "Oh, Just pull me
through, doctor; my mother needs
me. She needs me bad He fell
back, breathing stertorously, and a
nurse passed her soothing hand over
his hot brow. At that moment the
occupants of the room were electrified
by the strangely appropriate strains
of song that hoated through the
window from the street. A quartette
of young men, with exceptionally good
voices, was passing the hospital sing
ing
Just break the news TO mother, she
knows how dear love her,
And tell her not TO wait for me, for I'm
not coming home;
Just say there is no other can take the
place Of mother,
Then kiss her dear, sweet lips for me
and break the news to her.
Almost at that very moment the
sufferer gasped and was dead. The
singers passed on down the street, and
the quiet in the ward was broken by
the low sobbing of the nurse. There
were tears, too, in the eyes of the sur
geons.-Philadelphia Record

Saving and Having.

Either man must be content with
poverty all his life, or else be willing
to deny himself some luxuries, and
save, to lay the base of independence
in the future. But if a man defles
the future, and spends all that he earns
(whether his earnings be 81 or $40
every week., let him look lean and
hungry, for want at some future time
will surely come, no matter what he
thinks. To save is absolutely the only
way to get a solid fortune there is
no other certain mode on earth. Those
WHO shut their eyes and ears to these
plain facts will be forever poor, and
for their obstinate rejection Of the
truth, may perhaps die in rags and
filth. Let them die so and thank
themselves.
But, no they take a sort Of recon-
pense in cursing fortune. Great waste
of breath They might as well curse
the mountains and eternal hills, for
we can tell them fortune does not give
away her real and substantial goods.
She sells them to the highest bidder,
to the hardest, wisest worker for the
boon. Men never make so fatal
mistake as when they think they are
mere creatures Of fate; It's the sheerest
folly in the world. Every man may
make or mar his life, whichever way
he may choose. Fortune is for those
who by diligence, honesty and frugality
place themselves in position to grasp
hold of her when she appears in view.
The best evidence Of diligence is the
sound of the hammer in your shop at
seven o'clock in the morning. The
best evidence of frugality Is the FIVE
hundred dollars or more standing IN
your name at the savings bank. The
best evidence of honesty are diligence
and frugality.

Contagious blood poison is absolutely

other hand, his condition will grow
