CELESTIAL WONDERS.
Color of the Sky and the Moon and
the Hues Of the Stars.

1t Is the atmosphere that makes the
Sky look blue and the moon yellow. If
we could ascend to an elevation of fif-
ty miles above the earth's surface, we
should see that the moon is brilliant
white, while the sky would be black,
with the stars shining as brightly In
the daytime as at night.
Furthermore, rs most picturesque
feature Of the spectacle we should no
tice that some of the stars are red,
others blue, yet others violet and still
Others green in color. or course all
of the stars. If we bar the planets Of
our own system, are burning suns,
and the hues they wear depend upon
their temperature.
The hottest stars are blue. Thus
Vega, In the constellation Lyra, is a
blue sun hundreds Of times as large as
our own solar orb We are journeylng
I'm its direction at the rate of millions
OF miles a day, and at some future
time 1t may gobble us all up.
For, after all, humj.ating though the
confession be, our sun Is only very
small star-of the sixth magnitude OF
therea bouts-and of an Importance In
the universe so slight as to be scarcely
within the pale of respectability.-

Coughs.

Every person who coughs should not
alarm himself with the idea that he Is
I'm bad way. Experience has con
vinCed us Of fact that there are two
distinct kinds of coughs-one proceed
ing from an affection of the lungs ana
air tubes, as I'm cold, the other pro
ceeding from effervescence In the
stomach. The lungs cough is symp-
tom which all know to require atten-
ton. lest serious consequences ensue.
The stomach cough is n much more
simple matter and may easily be got
quit Of 1t is caused 10y the food and
drink which are put into the stomach
efrcrvcscing and producing an irrita-
tion. A knowledge OF this fact ought
to lead persons So affected to ponder n
little on the nature of their ailment and
the tone of their digestive powers.

One Seam For Fifteen Years.

1t has been said that the most mo-
notonous form Of labor is cumming
labels. But there are many others
which come very near It. In the boot
and shoe trade, for instance, the work
Is divided among as many workers as
possible. One will thus make single
cut in the leather and another give one
turn of the machine handle. In some
cases II pair of shoes have passed
through fifteen pairs of hands before
reaching completion. AS natural re-
suit, there are workers who week after
week go or performing the same work
hundreds of times q day. Indeed in
one factory there is woman who for
fifteen years has sewed only one seam.
Her machine works so rapidly that she
spends as much time inserting and
withdrawing her work as in the actual
sewing g.-Westminster Gazette.

thus observe under our eyes just such

A MILITARY SURPRISE.
President Grant and the Drummer

Colonel John L. Glen. the drummer

with the president. Mr.. President"
he opened the interview, IL wish to
ask you for an order to admit me to

was unfortunate. How did IL happen"
why, you see. was in the war while
those other boys of my age were in

Glenn was barely eighteen then and
boyish looking even for his years. He
had made his own way TO the presl-
dent and had no political sponsors TO
back him. What exclaimed the
president "YOu We're in the WARP"
Yes. | was in the war four years.
And elem related his experiences.
Grant wrote something which he
handed 10 the young applicant, saying:
Take this to the secretary of war.

Glen went back to the secretary of
war. who had before received him
coldly. and delivered his note. The
secretary read ii and asked. DO you

YEAST Is A PLANT.
But II Can Be Seen as Such Only
With the Microscope.

with tne microscopes.
Yeast is a small plant which can be
seen only with the aid of the micro
scope, says Good Health. There are
two varieties, wild and cultivated, for
these tiny plants can be improved
through cultivation, as larger plants
can he.
Firms which make yeast for the
market must grow these plants quite
as carefully as the florist grows his
flowers. Care must he taken that they
do not become mixed with other varie-
ties, therefore destroying the culture.
In some laboratories where yeast Is
grown two separate buildings are kept
for this purpose. These are both care
fully disinfeCted and II II is found
that the yeast becomes contaminated
In one building The culture is started
anew and the other building previously
dlsinfected before moving into 1t.
This plant, like bacteria, requires
warmth. moisture and food. The mate
rlas out of which the bread Is made
should always be warmed, and the
dough should always be kept in n
warm place. The temperature most
favorable is about that of the body.
little less than 100 degrees.
There is always considerable mois-
ture in bread and plenty Of food for
the plant. The food which II, requires
IS sugar. This il obtains from the
wheat, there being some sugar in the
flour, and more sugar is also formed
from the starch.
AS the yeast plants feed upon sugar
they break 1t down into two sub
stances, alcohol and gas known as
carbon dioXlde or carbonlc acid gas.
AS the gas is formed ii is held 10y the
gluten, which is n very elastic sub
stance. When the bread Is put into the
oven the heat expands the tiny bub-
blcs Of gas. causing the bread To rise
or 10 become much lighter. The alco-
hol formed, being a volatile product
passes off into the baking.

A LEAP TO FAME.
Tbs Story Of a Stuffed Cat In the
Smithsonian Institution.


In the Smithsonian institution at
Washington Is a case containing q
stuffed cat A card attached to the
case, setting forth the reasons why
this particular feline Is known to fame,
yives official sanction TO q tale that is
in every respect as remarkable as any
emanating from the nature fakirs.
The story OF the cat Is as follows:
Many years ago. while the Washing
ton monument was still In an unfin-
ished condition. an adventurous and
patriotic cat ascended the interior Of
the shaft by means Of the ropes and
scaffolding. When the workmen ar
rived at the upper landing the next
morning and began to prepare for the
days work the cat took fright and
sprlnging 10 the outer edge, took the
leap OF over 800 feet to the hard earth
below.
In the descent. which was watched
closely by the workmen. the cat spread
herself out like a flying squirrel, fell
slowly and alightel, as cats always do,
on all fours. After turning over on the
soil few times as if dazed she pre-
pared 10 leave the grounds. She had
proceeded almost beyond the shadow
Of the monument when a stray terrier
pOunced upon and killed her.
One Of the work. men rescued the re-
mains OF the cat and turned them over
TO the Smithsonian institution, which
caused the skin to be mounted and
placed under the glass case.-Youth's

BRUTAL MURDER

PORTLAND. Or. Feb. a.
Aaka Yasuii. n japanese. aud his
wife we're found murdered at their
cabin. half a mile west Of Stella.
Wash, late yesterday afternoon.
The affair Is mysterious one,
and there Is no clew TO the identity
Of the murdsrers. That more than
one committed the crime In In.
Dictated by the fact that the wom.
an had been shot with a 3S-caiiber
revolver while the mans body con.
tanned four bullets OF % caiibcr
There were evidences OF a strug
gle at the place. and the couple
apparently put up a fight before
being ovcrpowercd. The sheriff of
cosiiiz county is working on the
case. but there Is little To so on
In running down the murderers.
Revenge il the only motive sug.
Eested. for there was nothing of
value about the cabin to excite
the enpldity OF thieves.
