TOPICS YoR A DAY OF REST.

with but one more week Of the Torrey
mission at the Auditorium, the principals
and assistants at the meetings are reused
TO greater effort and many new features
have been devised to hold and stimulate
the general interest In the mission work.
one Of the most potent factors was the
day OF prayer held last Wednesday. DR..
Torrey held a protracted prayer meeting
at the First Congregational church and
neighbOrhood meetings were held In many
parts Of the city. which were reported to
be well attended.
The meetings at the BurwoOd theater
each noon have been continued and the at
tendance Of business men has been notice
able. Miss Parker has been well received
by interested audiences at the Young
Women's Christian association rooms at
noon. and Mr.. Jacoby has iabored strenu-
ousiy ana effectively with the personal
workers committee each evening.
The attendance at the mission has been
more than gratifying TO Dr. Torrey, as he
has invariably been greeted by attentive
audiences which taxed the capacity Of the
Auditorium. The singers who volunteered
their services have been faithful in at
tendance and the music has been one Of
the most interesting features Of the mis-
sion. While It has taken much time and
EFFORT on the part Of Mr.. Butler, large
and effective chorus has been established.
A special meeting for women will be
held Sunday afternoon by Dr. Torrey, while
the night service will be principally for
men. The attendance at the Sunday meet
/ ings has been 50 large that the division
Of the Sunday services was found neces-
| sary to accommodate all those who de-
sired to attend, as many go to the mission
on Sundays who cannot find time during
/ the week.

plate that ornaments a handsome new dog

voted himself to the interest of the Omaha

Immediately installed himself at the post

carriers. He is a medium sized canine of
slate color on the back and sides, white
feet and slate, spotted head and white
nozzle. He has been making the tour Of
the city with the various carriers all win
ter and spring. He does not stick TO one
carrier in particular, but bestows his favors
among all of them. Sometimes he goes
with the mail wagons to the depots.
"Purp" evidently is a newspaper reader
and keeps close tab on dog tax time
Hence for several days he has been diff
dent about taking his chances on the
streets with the dog catcher without tag
The carriers Wednesday took up a sub
scription and bought "Purp" a collar and
tag.
He boards at the postoffice. all the car
riers, and clerks contributing from their
lunches. 'Purp' has been formally
adopted by the postofice, and is the only
dog that has free run Of the building.
Yet at the same time he seems to know
OF the general inhibition against dogs be-
ing permitted about the postofice building,
and in fair weather. when not on duty
he takes up his position at the carriers
entrance and keeps watch.

Determine Validity of
BrONn'n Opinion.

1t has been decided to institute msndamus
proceedings to test the validity OF the
opinion OF the attorney general that liquor
licenses are subject to taxations. One OF
the deputies will refuse to assess the IL
censes in his territory and County Attorney
Slabaugh will bring proceedings to compel
him to do 80. This will furnish a speedy
test OF the law in the case.
County Attorney Slabaugh has received
word that the law was partially tested
in Pawnee county about a year ago in a
suit in district court. In the district court
It was held the licenses were not subject
to taxation and the case was not appealed
to the supreme court. The Douglas county
case will probably go to the supreme court,
no matter who wins out in the lower court.

Language In France.

There are several districts in France where the very ancient tongues still survive. Basque is spoken by about 100000 persons, who are naturally proud of q language that is their ex- elusive possession, for it is unlike ev- cry other spoken tongue, and the as sertion is commonly made that to un- derstand it one must have learned it in the cradle This peculiar property gives in the mind of the Basque people support to their belief that it was the language of Adam and Eve.

Ancient Roses.

Flinders Petrie, the archaeologist, while excavating among some ancient Egyptian tombs, found wreath of roses which had been bound into a garland and buried with the dead thou sands of years ago. NJ. Crepin. the bot anist and microscopist, made care full examination of this queer find and prepared q paper on it which he read before the Royal society of Belgium. From this paper it appears that in places where the flowers were matted together they still retained their color as well as a very faint odor. The species to which they belong is now eX- tinct, but q rose resembling them in several particulars is still grown in Egypt and Abyssinia.

The sun, provided we measure only the disk seen with the smoked glass. is S66,0OU miles i'll diameter- C., 1OS earths could be comfortably ranged side by side across the disk. To cover the surface would require many thou sands. To fill the interior We should need 100000. On a smaller scale we might represent the sun by Il ball two feet in diameter and the earth by d good sized grain of shot. Let the sun be followed out, then place the earth at it's ceuter and let tue moon revolve about ii at it's real distance of 24O ON miles There would yet remain nearly 100000 miles of space between the moons orbit and the inelosing shell of the sun. Indeed to journey from one side of the sun to the other, through the center, would take one of our swift express trains nearly two and d half years. So vast globe must be heavy, Since its density is only quarter that of the earth ii only weighs as much as 332. .ON earths, or two octil- lions of tons. The attraction of gravity on it's surface would cause man whose weight was 1oO pounds to weigh two tons
