"T e often marvel at the zixan-
." tic power displayed. by the
; sun in holding the earth
and the other planets in their or
bits. The force expended in curb
, ing the earth alone amounts to
thirty-six hundred thousand mil
lions of millions Of tons! o..
We are less impressed by the
counterpull of the planets on the
sun, although IL. Is sufficient to
make that giant globe stagger and
reel In an ever changing curve,
which at times swings him hun
dreds of thousands of miles out Of
the center. However, of his team
of eight planets, four only are pow
erful enough to really sway him
in his seat, and but one, Jupiter,
is able, acting. singly, to lift him
clear of It. g!
At the present time (near the
beginning of June) the planets are
SO arranged with reference to their
directions from the sun that they
compel him to turn around a CEN
ter of gravity that is situated about

ton Virgo. Jupiter and his big
ringed brother Saturn are chiefly
responsible for his stain upon the
sun to brace backward 80 sharply
They are not far apart in the
same quarter of the sky, so that
they may be figured as pulling like
pair of horses a little shy Of each
other, while farther west Nep-
tune, the most distant Of the
planets, adds to the ajor. part Of
his pull to theirs. Venus and Mer-
curry furnish a slight contribution
from their feeble efforts, but the
Earth and Mars, like playful colts,
pull off in a right-angie direction,
while Uranus, in nearly the oppo-
site quarter from his big brothers,
and whose force is not to be de-
spised, tries to keep the solar driver
erect, but the effort is wasted.
The explanation of all this 10
found In the principle, derived
from the law Of gravitation, that
bodies cannot be free to move un-
der the control only Of their mu-
tual attraction, without both being
simultaneously in motion. The
planets pull" the sun just as the
sun pulls" the planets, the force
in each case being proportional to
the masses. For our purposes we
may call the masses Of the bodies
their weights, and in that sense
the sun weighs about 332. 900 times
as much as the earth, and about
1,04s times as much rs Jupiter.
Now we may compare the force
Of the attraction Of two bodies to
the downward force that each i'm.

of thought.
Suppose two things occur to you
on the same day. One circum-
stance is pleasant-the other ugly.
q, First you think about the happy
event and you feel contented, even
joyous. Then you remember the
unfortunate condition and you are
miserable. You may even dwell
on the black cloud until it envelops
you, and you can't see out to the
sunshine. But you don't have to!
There's nothing to prevent your
thinking of the blessing SO hard
that It fills your whole view and
stretches to the horizon. 7

fancies run away with us. But
most Of the things over which we
agonize are only fancies:s Most
of our anticipated sorrow never

Actually we have a choice be-

1t is Just as easy to believe in
our good fortune as in our Ill luck.

Encouragement, despair. horror

fortune and happiness, that minute
we are happy-whether or not an

loves me and at the same time
she laughs. After 1 had known
her two weeks I asked her to
marry. me. She longs for the
day when she won't have to

and is always complaining Of
being sick. At times she acts
very ugly toward me.

right sort Of wife does her share.
Is a real partner. The girl
sounds immature and selfish.
Unless she has some real ideas
on the subject of love and devo-
