Though Mercury is one of the small
est of the planets, it is perhaps the
most troublesome TO the astronomer.
1t lies so close 10 the sun that it is
seen but seldom in comparison with
the other great planets. Its orbit IS
very eccentric. and it experiences dis
turbances by the attraction of other
bodies in n way not yet fully under
stood. \ special difficulty has also
been found in the attempt to place
Mercury in the weighing scales, We
can weigh the whole earth, we can
weigh the sun, the moon and even
Jupiter and other planets, but Mercury
presents difficulties of n peculiar char
acter lie Verrier. however, succeeded
in devisinE method of weighing it.
He demonstrated that our earth is
attracted by this planet, and he showed
how the amount of attraction may be
disclosed by observations of the sun,
so that from an eXauination of the OBJ
seryations he made an approximate
determination of the mass of Mercury.
lie Yerrier's result indicated that the
weight of the planet WAS about the fif-
teenth part of the weight of the earth.
In other words, il our earth was placed
in balance and fifteen globes each
equal to Mercury, were laid In the 9th
er the scales would hang evenly.-"Sto-

An ArnYYer For GouRh

John Il. Cough, the famous temper
ance writer, was once in n New Eng
land town lecturing and after painting
the tavern as place of contamination
even for the ahstaiH2r asked.
Don't you all agree with me friends,
that there is no place man should 20
and of which he should tell his mother
and sisters unless he might take chem
too there? Should there be AIRY such
place."
ooh, y-e-sw came drawlingly from a
rear seat.
The audience was aroused from its
spell of admiration for the orator and
turned to look at the voice in the rear.
Cough smiled as though he thought no
discussion possible and blandly asked:
"Where, friend. would you 90 telling
mother and sisters, but refusing to take
them

Smuggling from Canada.

Sensational testimony WAS given in
the United States court in Boston, the
oath inst, relatiXe to smuggling on the
Maine border in the vicinity OF Calais.
Il was purported to be a verbatim report
# conversation between Special
Treasury Agent Charles f. Lewis, who
claimed to be tobacco dealer looking
for snap without regard to how the
goods arrived in this country, and Byron
+. Lurchin Of Pembroke.
In his eagerness to sell to his supposed
custo mer, Mr.. Lurchen unbosomed him
self freely. people up my way do not
consider il any crime 10 smuggle,' Lur-
chin said. "rhey all smuggle their
meat and sugar from Canada He
went on to SAY, so the officer swears,
that wool, tobacco, Cinnamon, pheuate-
Elm and sulphoual were the easiest and
most profitable goods 10 deal in,
The line between this country and
Canada is too great and the temptations
too strong to expect that smugg Cling
does not exist. Too many people think
that to defraud the government or q cor
poratiou is smart thing and there are "a
larger number who do not object 10
buying struggled goods. According to
the officers statement, Lurchin's snug
Cling, which he had long been engaged
in, consisted chiefly of wool and tobacco,
the former being taken across the border
and the latter coming by water from
-. John.
The hearing consumed more than
three hours aid At its conclusion prphs-
BILE cause was found, and Lurehiu was
held in So 600 bonds for the grand Jury.

Dear Mr. Wickham-Just home from
Mrs. Cowleys reception, where Alex
would have me with her, and | didn't care
to say what In particular urged me to
shop Just this afternoon.
AT Mrs. C.'s something turned up that
may make a good item for you. She and
a lot of them are theosophists. and 1t
seems there is IA man here who gives him
self out to be an English swami. But
those Boer relief committee women got
private warning that this Spragge Is the
same English detective who WAS watching
them at Philadelphia. He is an old In
dian scout service man like you read
about. I've of the b. r. &. saw him on
the steamboat last night. They leased
me about him, because they said he was
watching us and taking you to be re-
cruit | was enlisting for the Beers At
Philadelphia the first thing he did was to
find out all he could about newspaper
men, gave his name as Southgate and let
them think he was some lord in disguise
looking for chances to invest money.
Can't you make something Of this for
the paper? He is at the Grand Circular 1
think Cordially o. 2.
P. S.-This goes by special messenger.
Wickham thought he could and he
lost no time in saying so to the city ed
itor. And that was how 1t came to
pass that next morning the STIR had an
exclusive story of Mr.. Spragge-how
Mr.. spragge, who had ostensibly ar
rived in the city the day before and
registered at the Grand Circular, had
really spent two days quietly at an OBJ
scure boarding house learning all he
could about things not obviously his
business; how he had played much the
same game in at least two other big
Cities all to make sure that the Boer
relief committees were not shipping
contrabands to the seat of war.
1t was great thing for Wickham's
journalistic prospects, that story, but
it hurt Spragges career.

For many years 1t has been supposed that
Cstarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
