It made a hole in tho ground 50 foot deep, 120 feet long nnd 60 feet wide, which would make it the largest kuown meteorite on record. Being a single piece apparently, it was probably solid iron, like other meteorites known, some of which have weighed a nninher of tons, but none of this size is record ed. And yet there is no reason to believe that multitudes very much larger may not be traveling in tho celestial spaces and it is only good luck that prevents our falling in with them. There is no inherent impossibility that a meteorite or little asteroid as largo ns porno of the multitude that revolve between Mars and Jupiter might come within the sphiroof tho earth’s attraction largo enough to cover an entire state. They may be even moving in tho tracks of comets, although we know perfectly well that the bulk of tho material of comets is very inconsiderable, and the earth has more than once passed through tho tail of a comet without any more effect than a shower of falling stars. What the effect would be of striking tho head of a comet we do not yet know.— Independent.

Tho Welsh are noted for their fond ness for sermons and music. The annual Eisteddfod, the national bardic congress, is attended by thousands, who on the great day of festival “chair” tho fortu nate hard, tho winner of the prize. A similar enthusiasm greets the Welsh preacher who is eloquent in speech and practical in expounding the Scriptures. Tho following story of a Welsh preacher, told in the “Journals of Walter White,” illustrates tho graphic, simple exposition, which com manded the attention of tho congrega tion: “Noo worked at tho Ark, driving nails, plump, plump, plump. Tho hay- then camo and said: ‘Noe, there’s good hunting in tho woods here, hares and foxes. Leave your work and come and hunt.’ But Noo kept on hammering, plump, plump, plump. “Tho haytben camo again: ‘Nco, there’s good I oor at th » Red Lion. Leave your work and como and drink.’ But Noo kept on hammering, plump, plump, plump, and then tho rain came, and the flood.lifted up tho Ark and car ried Noo away and left tho haythen all screaming and scprabbliug in tho water. ’ ’ XV hat Tobarco Does. A personal teat by Dr. Dowling of the vision of 150 men employed in a large tobacco factory demonstrated that vision was greatly diminished in nearly one- third of the entire number. In 80 cases there was very serious impairment oi j vision, and the men were almost abso lutely color blind. This effect of tobacco using upon the eyesight is very insidious and progresses so slowly that it is not appreciated un til after great and perhaps irreparable damage has been done. It is for this reason that men go on for so many years blindly indulging in this poison habit without awakening to the fact that they are slowly but surely under mining their constitutions. What tobacco does for tho nerves cl sight it does to every other nerve in the body. It has not tho power to select out a single uervo and injure it to the ex clusion of all others, but spreads its mischief throughout the whole vital do main. Not only tho nerves, but tht muscles, glands and indeed every cell and fiber of tho body, are brought under tho baneful influence of this disease producing drug.—Health Magazine. A Woman Writer's Bold Suggestion to Help Weary Wlvoe, There uro few things that exhaust a woman more than a day's- shopping. The average man looks upon » woman's “purchasing day” as ouo of pleasure, but when he accompanies her on one of these shopping expeditious he goes home, after his patience has been all ex hausted, with a different belief. He learns, too, that a woman cun endure vexatious aud disappointments with much more equanimity than he cau, aud ho meutally vows never to do it again. Tho number of miles traversed is really what tires one, and it is little wonder that tho woman who does tho shopping for herself ani her entire fam ily, as well as the u rketing and the bargaining with tho butcher aud bak er and candlestick maker,” should feel tho uued of rest for her tired nerves Tho man of tha bouse should always do the marketing. In the old days, when the butler was not the stately personage he is now, women were nev er troubled with the worries of house hold purchasing, for the head of tho house did the entire buying, and “James” carried the parcels and was not ashamed to do it. No mother who has the care of little children should give the preoiou.> morn ing hours to anything else Lot the nursery, nor should she lot butchers’ and grocers’ boys call for and deliver orders, because there is sure to be dis satisfaction if she does. Some wealthy families allow their chef to take charge of the household, and ho collect? a large percentage from the tradesmen, which, of course, is added to the monthly, hill. Reputable storekeepers will not do this kind of business, however, aud the chef “patronage” ib controlled entiiely by a few men. Ou the whole, it is much more satisfactory for the man of the house to do the marketing. He will get tho best meat, have his orders promptly attended to and save abont 25 per cent in tho transaction, as well us the health of his wiftx—Chicago Timea-IIerald. Last of a Famous Oak. One of the results of a recent wind and rain storm was the destruction of the large oak tree ou Bcdloe’s island from which, tradition says, the pirate Hicks paid the penalty of his crimes a century ago. The old tree stood on the westward slope of the island near the Liberty statue electric light plant and until a year ago was green and vigorous In one of the storms of last summer lightning struck the tree, shattered its trunk and ruined many of its branches. John B. Hines, one of the keepers of the Liberty statue, made souvenirs of pieces of the tree and sold them to visit ors at the direction of the committee having charge of the statue. The trunk of the Hicks tree withstood the storms of last winter, but in this recent thunderstorm it was torn into fragments which were scattered over the island.—New York Sun. Stop Ovar Privilege.

Boys who think it hard to be com pelled to turn the grindBtouo fekould in stead bo thankful that they have thing! no easy as they do. Tho Six Towns Times, in its sketches from Windham history, tells how Duncan McIntosh, who settled somewhere about 1750, brought with him from Portland a m w scythe which ho neglected to sharpen beforo’he left that place, aud when hi* first crop of hay was ready to harvest he found that there was no grindstone nearer than tho old province fort at South Windham, a distance of four or five miles. Not wishing to spare the time to go that distance he decided to dc the next best thing, so he made a dozen flat pine sticks, took a pot of grease and his scythe down to the beach in front of his house, greased the sticks, sprin kled them liberally with sand aud ac tually rubbed his scythe to a sharp edge. Afterward when questioned as to the amount of laber aud length of time re quired for this unique operation ho re plied that it was np great affair, as it took him only one day to get his scythe into a good cutting order.—Kccueboc Journal. He Could Mot Speak. Pierre Nicole, one of the most dis tinguished scholars of the Port Royal ists and one of the best writers in Eu rope, was noted for his unreadiness in oral argument. It is said that once when an opponent, having got the bet ter of him in an argument, had left the room Nicole called ont to him from the landing as he was near the street door: “Come back, come back! I have are- ply ready for you I” The anecdote will serve to introduce ouo about Thackeray, who was destitute of the ability to think and speak on his legs. He once stood as a candidate for the representation of Oxford in the house of commons. On the hustings he broke down and could hardly speak a sentence. “If I oonld,” ho said to himself, “only go into the mayor’s parlor for five minutes I could write this out easily.” Human Sum*. Children are uncertain investments. They are a good deal like a hard sum in arithraetio—it is so difficult to make them come out right—Boston Tran script Geological Deductions. Geology was once defined by Lord Salisbury as “tho science of tho what might have been.” Some American geologists prefer to regard it as tho sci ence of the what may be. Pictures have often been drawn of tho destruction of Toronto and the devastation of southern Ontario and Quebec by a flood let loose when the great lakes are emptied owing to tho continued recession of Niagara falls. Professor G. K. Gilbert now tells us that long beforo this disaster is due Ni agara will have been destroyed by other processes. Home slow changes of level are now taking place over the whole lake region. Tho eastern outlet will he closed and the lakes drained by dis charging from the southern end of Lake Michigan into tho basin of the Missis sippi. The change in the river system will begin in about 1,000 years’ time. The evidence adduced by Professor Gil bert in support of this prophecy is of great interest, although only his pre liminary report has yet been published. —Spectator. A tl< Ml*f> yu«Mtliou. G. M. writes to Tho Journal: “Should you say, *1 made him oougb $5,’ or ‘I made him cough up $5?’ ” This is a ticklish question. Unfor tunately the slang dictionaries, even Farmer and Henley’s, do not know the slang phrase. Nor is there any allusion to it in the great Oxford dictionary. Three centuries ago tiiere was a phrase “to cough (any one) a daw, fool, mome, ” meaning “to make a fool of,” also “to prove oneself a fool,” but this “cough” may have been tho obsolete verb "cough” or “coff,” to pnrohase, acquire, get. And five centuries ago “to cough” also meant “to utter,” “to disclose,” as in this sentence, “To make her confess the things testified against her, and also to cough out the rest.” We do not find anywhere allusion to this modern slang. We ourselves regard “cough up” as the proper expression, and we use it when we are moving in the first and gilded circles.—Boston Journal. Compensation Advantage#.

" ((• Two- rv.rtd rnrf the rttfcrenwr Is th* Strala That Ctmu-ii Fp*n Then*. Tho rudder of a wooden ship is com posed of the stalk and the backing, which are go joined together as to form in effect a single piece. The complete rudder is coppered, -to protect it from worms, aud then, besides beiug practi- wily ail in one pioce, it ha? that ap- peariuc ) ulso. rhe stalk is the part to which arc at tucked the piiitlen, or pivots, by which the rudder is eu^epded and held in place, these going turongh eyes sot in the ship’s a torn post. The »talk rnns nu through the .stern of the ship, and to its bead is bolted a cap to which are at tached the ropes by means of which the rudder is controlled. The backing is the blade part of the rntMor. By far the gr.'atur strain comes on tho stalk, aud the greatest strain of slL comes on the bead of the stalk, the rudder bead, wher* it is hold. The stalk i» made of the wood nicut likely to stand tho strain, carefully selected, sound, well seasoned oak, while the backing is made of sproce or hard pino. The stalk is of a single, solid, massive piece, stout as an oak tree and indeed of the dimensions of a small- oak, something, that a man can pin his faith to, if ho can have faith in any wood, while the backing or blade is, liko many modern wooden masts, bailt up. It would be difficult if aot impossible Sq fiud trees that would yield p!auk? big enough for the purpose in a single piece, aud the built up hacking, made of pieces-of selected wood, cau easily be made of ample strength ‘o withstand any strain that will bn brought npon it. As to the stalk, stout and solid as the oak may be, the head may bo twisted by tbe force of a tremendous blow from a wave upon the rudder, or, under tho repeated strains of long u?o, the head may split, and so make tho stalk uae- loss. Then the rudder is taken out and fitted with a new stalk. A suitable stick is selected aud worked down to the proper size and form, and very probably the old backing is attached to if. The life of a ruddsr stalk would probably be 1J to 3 4 years. The hacking might last as long w the ship.—Eew York. Sun. HAUNTED BY A NUMBER. Figures SorlbHvU h> £ Schoolboy l my.', ly Brought Fortune. “ My-brother William, who died a few years ago,” said Colonel Andrew Free man the other night, “from his boy hood days had a curious habit of sorib bliug ou oveiy piece of blank paper he picked up. “When he w.is first able to form fig ures with u }icu or pencil, ho would trace tho meaningless number ‘15,174’ on everything that had a blank space of sufficient size. On the whitewashed wails of tho little old red school bouse down.in my home county in the 1'enuy- rilo that boy wrote ‘ 15,174’ ten thou sand limes or more. “On the fly leaf of his textbooks, on the margins of the newspapers my fa ther was a subscriber fur, on the en velopes and an the unused bits-of papers in all of the letters that camo to our house he traced those figures in every id’o moment; without being able to tell why he did so.

I didn’t get the number I wanted that month, but the next mouth I got two tenth tickets, number 15,174. and I struck tbe f 10,000 capital prize. Will got one-half of the cash, aud till the day of his death, eight years ago, never quit talk ing about the luck his hobby brought me. It was tbe most remarkable inci dent in my life and the most, notable occurrence in tho history of our fam ily. ”—Louisville Post. The Frio* of Liberty. The white headed old darky approach ed one of tbe northern congressmen at tho foot of the capitol steps, removed his hat and said: “Izo cum all de way f’nm Nottoway county, oap’n, to see whut yo’ kin do fur me. I paid $2,700 fur my liberty, en ain’ heerd nutbin f’um do promises o’ de gubberment. ” “You mean to say, uncle, that you bought your liberty?’ the congressman asked in surprise, thinking to humor the old mau. “It’s a fao\ cap’u, on twenty-seben hundred wuz de price.” “I thought eternal vigilance was the price of liberty, uncle?” Scratching bis bead for an under standing, the ex-slave replied doubt fully, “Waal, cap’q, dat moot be de case wid de white folks, but do pooh nigger has ter pay cash. ”—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

It is built oa both shies of tbe river Pasig, which is navigable to its source. Old Manila lies on the left bank. Parts of tbe masonic stone wall which was built around it 200 years ago are still visible, and some of the gates survive, through which a stream of solemn friars, grinning Chi nese, resplendent Spanish officials, beg gars in rags, pious nuns, handsome senoras, gay native girls, mestizos in uniform, natives in breechclonts, four horse carriages, two wheel pony wagons and creaking buffalo carts pours from morning till night. The cathedral, monasteries aud government offices are in old Manila. The business quarter, the foreign shipping houses, the banks, •tores and custom house are in Binondo, on tho other side of the river. Between the wails and the shore is the Loneta, tho fashionable promenade, where the band plays aud society en joys the evening breeze, flirts under hundreds of electric lights and drivea around the circle in carriages, which follow each other in a slow, dignified procession. The best houses in Manila axe bailt of stone and are handsome residences, though there is no window glass nsed in their construction. Instead of glass the windows are glazed with translucent oyster shells. This is cut into squares so small that a window 8 feet by 4 will contain 250 of them. It is found that they temper the fierce glare of the sun and soften the light. •— 8an Fmnpvioo Chronicle. Cure • Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Hromo Quinine Ijiiijlete.
