Some filing IS being done on
Virginia street. Sunnyside, and the
improvement is already marked.
This j. the first work that has
been done upon that side this
year. There is SO much to be
done that Street Commissioner
O'Rourke decided not to touch
that section this year. reserving
action until such time as the funds
would admit Of something tangible.
II is the intention to next year do
some substantial grading and prob
ably put in a new bridge. Action
has been also deferred in the hope
that some of the property owners
would build retaining walls upon
the lower side. This will have to be
done before the street can be made
a, teautiful as the superintendent
wishes. His desire is TO make
Sunnyside as presentable as are
other portions of the city. The
dirt now being obtained comes
from Fritz Ulrich's lots on Wall
street.

A Disguised Toast.

At one tine the officers under Lord

their mess, FOR, though a splendid ad-
miraL he was not popular in the navy
on account of a certain shyness and
want of. tact with those about him.
The chaplain. who was protege Of his
lordship, was mortified at this and de-
termined that the officers should drink
to Lord Howe. When called upon for
a toast one day he said, We'll, gentle
men. 1 can think Of nothing better at
this moment than to ask you to drink

Amusing Franks the Erratic Types
Played With a Composer.
Miss Maude Valerie White. author of
numerous popular songs. has told a
number of anecdotes, many Of them at
her own expense. I suppose, she once
wrote in the Cornhill Magazine. all
composers have had q laugh over the
extraordinary mistakes which some
times OCCUR in the first proofs Of their
songs. I remember years ago writing
a very sentimental song. in which the
line occurred
I've never once regretted the vow I made
that day.
Ny feelings may be imagined when I
found they had printed
I've never once regretted the row made
that day.
Miss White also told about an anus
ing mistake which occurred in the pro-
granme of one Of her concerts: A
well known singer and very good friend
of mine was down to sing my two
songs, ITO Marry" and Grabbed Age
and Youth" But the newspaper an
nounced something very different. Not
content with drawing up a programme
Of my concert, it drew up programme
of my future. for read as follows:

To Marry Maude Valeria White
Grabbed Age and Youth.
AS 1 am a good many years older than
the friend in question, the coincidence
struck me as particularly funny, and
I cut the programme out Of the news

mail next morning l received an iden-
teal cutting from him, with an inquiry
whether he was to take this as form

Planets and Suns May Pick Up Minor
Solnr Bodies.
Jupiter is much the biggest member
of the family of stars which revolve
around Our sun; consequently the pow
er of his attraction is greater than that
possessed. for instance, by the earth.
JuCiter's exploits as burglar have
caused very considerable annoyance
and Inconvenience to astronomers in
=! .'ys brfore his powers. We're fully
rr..Oy'rizIu.
III 10 there appeared fine comet,
which WAS found to have al elliptical
orbit round the sun Of so comparatively
small size that Mr.. LeXell, its discov-
erer. calculated it would return IN fve
and half years, but in 17I73 telescopes
were vainly focused on the spot where
it was expected to reappenr, and again
in 1871 it disappointed all observers.
Mr.. Lexeil plunged into fresh calcula-
tons and after much research found
that Jupiter was the culprit. The un-
fortunate comet had been rash enough
TO plunge tNtO Tue SplkSft VI tAt SitihI
planets attraction. with the result that
il had been completely diverted from
it's former orbit and flung off into quite
a different one Of a twenty year period.
1t has never been seen again by any
one on this earth and probably never
will be.
Jupiter was also responsible for the
delay which occurred in the return Of
that splendid visitant known as Hal
ley's comet HALEY fosnd that be was
not the first discoverer of this big COM
ct. It had appeared 1T least twice pre-
viously, once seventydve years before
and again serenty-six years before that.
The astronomer concluded that there
would be a further delay in its third
yeturn and predicted that It's next ap-
pearance would be 5i8 days later. He
did not live to see 1t. But in 1853, the
year be had prophesied for its reap
pearanca, astronomers were waiting
for it.

was a cucumber on the table. And so

King. "Why, thus: Jeremiah King, by
