some OF the Things We Know About
That Mysterious star.
A very wonderful and i'm some re-
spects mysterious object Is the sun. a
typical star. the nearest one. and not so
far away as TO prevent Us from study
Ing IL in detail. and yet presenting con
ditions SO different from those we can
obtain i'm our laboratories that 10 a
considerable extent II defes our rea-
sonings and renders our conclusions
merely conjectural
Certain facts. however. have been cs-
tablished beyond any possible doubt
and must necessarily form the fOunda-
ton OF all reasonable theories and
opinions.
We know. for instance. that its mean
distance from the earth is very closely
100000 miles: that its diameter is
about $4,000 miles. or 1O9is times that
of the earth. and its bulk about 300
600 as great
We know also that its mass is about
$4,000 that OF the earth and that con
sequenly gravity upon its surface is
about 21l2 times rs powerful as here
\ man who here weighs $50 pounds
would weigh more than two tons upon
the sun. and there squirrel would not
be able to jump any more friSkiy than
an elephant here
Experiments with burning glasses
make II certain that the effective tenn
perature OF the suns surface taken as
whole doubtless the actual tcmpera-
turc varies widely ut different points,
is much above any which We can pro-
duce 10y artificial means. Not even the
electric furnace can rival IL. Carried 10
the sun and kept there FOR few hours
only. the earth would melt and pass
into vapor. The estimated temperature
Is about 1900 degrees T.. but cannot
be regarded as exact. - Professor

HEART PROVERBS.

He that hath no heart ought to have
heels.
A happy heart is better than a full
purse.
What comes from the heart goes TO
the heart.
He who hath most heart knows most
OF sorrow.
A cheerful countenance betokens n
good heart
No estate can make him rich that has
n poor heart
The hearts testimony is stronger
than thousand witnesses.
n glad heart seldom signs. but n
sorrowful mouth often laughs.
The heart is the hidden treasure OF
man; the tongue is the gate TO the
treasure.
good heart Is the sun and moon:
or rather. the sun. for IL shines bright
and never changes.
There never was heart truly great
ana generous that was not also tender
and compassionate.

A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
JOBPRIN7INC

1t used to be that the quality of
Job Printing did not amount 70
much, so far as success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly well
Withoutit. But we live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see piece of Job print
ing crowded aud the type jammed
too close together, with dirty-lOoking
INK and finger marks smeared over
it, on a low grade of paper. it doesn't
speak we'll for the firm which uses it.
In fact YOU don't have the same
opinion of that place as you have of
the man whose stationery is clearly
printed with good ink on the best
grade Of paper.
The quality of stationery reflects
the standing Of ones business. Ii is
therefore duty you owe to yourself
to have good printing.
