The Iioht of the Stars.

Various eldeavors have been made to estimate the light of the stars. In the northern hemisphere Argelander has registered 324,O GOO stars down to the nine and a half magnitude, and with the aid of the best photometric data Agnes NJ. Clerks System of the Stars" gives the sum of the light Of these northern stars as equivalent to LAO of full moonlight, while the total light of all stars similarly enumerated in both henispheres, to the number Of about 90O,OOO, is roughly placed at 1-1SO of the lunar brightness. The scattered light of still fainter celestial bodies is difficult to compute. By photographic method Sir William Alp bey rated the total starlight of both hemispheres at HOO of full moonlight. and Professor Newcomb from visual observations of all stars at just FPS times that of Capella, or 1-S9 of the light of the full moon.
 It is not certain, however, that the sky would be totally dark if all stars were plotted out Certain processes make the upper atmosphere strongly luminous at times, and we cannot be sure that this light would be totally abSent.-Harper's Weekly.

Puzzled the HaCKSr,

The first organized work of women in relief corps was led by Florence Nightingale in the Crimean war of 1855. So unaccustomed were people to that service at the time that it called out some curious comment. Writing of Chinese" Gordon. Dr. Butler tells in his book, Ten Great and Good Men," how the boys at Cambridge met the call upon them for hospital stores.
 One day letter came suddenly from the war office telling us that any warm clothes for the invalids at Scutari would be prized by Miss Florence Nightingale. At once in every college committee was extemporized of lead ing undergraduates, charged to collect presents of flannel jackets, trousers, blazers" rugs, greatcoats, furs, even sealskins.
 In a few hours box after box was filled with these treasures, and all the boxes were kindly and gratuitously packed for us by the leading upholster- CT of the town. his foreman simply re- marking to me in tone which General Gordon would have enjoyed:

The Old Time English School.

Until comparatively recent times public school boys in England had many hardships to endure. AS late as 1884 writer who spoke from expert ence said that ''the inmates of a work house or a jail were better fed and lodged than the scholars of Eton." Boys whose parents could not pay for a private room underwent privations that might have broken down a cabin boy and would be thought inhuman if inflicted on galley slave.
 "They rose at 5, winter and sum- mer, and breakfasted four hours later, the interval being devoted to study, after they had swept their rooms and made their beds. The only washing was a pump. The diet consisted of an endless round of mutt ton, potatoes and beer, none of them too plentiful or too good.

A Dutch Fishinq Fleet.

If the traveller wants to get a real glimpse of picturesque Holland, a glimpse which shall long be a happy memory, let him journey to the old fishing village of Scheveningen, not far from The Hague. Its fishing fleet is an imposing one and is best seen at night, when the boats are drawn up on the beach. Each has a number, and these are painted on the sides in such large figures that they can be read at a considerable distance. At night when the fishermen begin to come to land the women of the village walk down to the beach with their knitting in their hands to meet them. They wear their wooden shoes, some of which are made to look especially clean by an application of whiting, and they make a merry chatter as they go. Industry is characteristic of the wom- en of Holland in all walks of life. They must always be at work of some kind, and it would seem as if more knitting needles must be used in Hol- land than in any other country in the world:-E. J. Harrington in Interior.

Owned an Auto.

A man who had previously received some aid from the town of Danbury in times of stress and distress. appeal ed to the Selectmen a short time ago for assistance. He said that his wife was in poor health and that he was not in condition to meet the necessary expenses for physician and nurse, and asked to have the town provide the physician. The Selectmen decided to investigate, and a. day or two after the man owned an automobile. It ap- pears that the man had a small amount of money which he invested in a second or third hand. car. paying a little down and arranging to have it repaired and put into running shape. He explained to the Selectmen that he had not bought the machine for his own use, but expected to sell it at profit after it was fixed. The Select men decided. however. that the pos session of an automobile exempted a person from liability to be clasSed as pauper as long as he owned the car.

MoIokai and. the lepers,

The general idea of the leper settle ment on the island of Molokai is wrong, says a writer in Harpers Weekly. Instead of the entire island being used for the leper colony the set clement comprises only eight square miles out of total area of 261 square miles. It occupies tongue of land on the northern side of Molokai The north, east and west shores of this tiny spit are washed by the Pacific, while on the south side rise precipitous cliffs of from l 800 to 4,OOO feet, which make the isolation seem even more hopeless than the beautiful deep blue waters of the sea ever could. The most difficult and dangerous trail, con- stantly manned by government guards, foils escape, if it were ever contem- plated, by the land side.
