Woman’s Influence.
Why should not women receive
the highest advantages of educa
tion ? Compare her mind with
that of man. Does she not pos
sess the same tbiuking faculties
of man ? Is she not ae capable of
contending with life’s adversities ?
Can sbo not better stand the test
of temptation than man ? Why iv
the world satisfied with a plain
education for woman? It is
fallacy not easily understood, for
in woman lives the spark of Intel
lcct as brilliant as in man.

mother of the g’cat Nepoleon,

his name to strike terror to the

Tho Bain of Fire.
November 13,1883, ii a date to
be remembered. It was just about
fifty years ago that there occurred
in the United States a memorable
“rain of fire” know as the great
fall of meteors. Its greatest intent
sity was in the hour which brought
daybreak; but iswas an impressive
and awe-inspiring scene from about
2 o'clock till broad daylight, aud
the exhibition was only ended by
being swallowed up in tbe beams
of broad day. It seemed a veri
table rain of fire. The negroes of
Virginia and other regions South
were frightened nearly to death;
every well was said to contain one
or more negroes, mho had gone
dnwu by rope or bucket, to escape
tbe “day of wrath and day of
burning."
The tremendous spectacle fright
ened thousands ol steady-going
people hereabouts. Rut there wan
in reality no cause fur fear. Our
planet, in its swift flight, bad
brushed the skirts of one of the
two vaite meteor.-tre ima whose
orbits, one in August and tho other
in November, touch the orbit of
the earth. The law of gravitation,
aided perhaps by a little deeper
than the customary mixing of oib
it*, chanced to produce, at that
junction, a far greater shower of
meteors than usual, and it fell
hiefiy upon that hemisphere that
was most fully presented to the
body of meteors. Theao appear to
be bodies of various sizes, aggrega
ted in a great stream, millions of
miles long, t.nd having an orbit,
like any of the planets. Tbe Au
gust stream is said to bo 90,000,-
000 miles long, end tho Novomber
stream i* of unknown extont.
Owing to burning, caused by
tbo friction which our dense at
mosphere involves, to foreign bodies
plunging through it at that tre
mendous rate, few of theto so-
called meleors ever reach the sur
face that are larger, when found,
than an apple—or, pot haps (to
continue tho bucolic character of
tho comparison), a pumpkin.—
They are net on fire and burned up
in fulling—and most of them fall
in the shape of untouched ashes,
or “lucteorio dust." Now and then
a big oue is found. Meteors
weighing tons have falIon to tbe
oarth—aud perhaps some that were
of more stupendous dimensions
than anjlrody now iuingiucs. All
have a semi virtuous “irou-stone* 1
character. Uutold millions end
quadrillions of meteorv woio visible
on tire, in tiro sir, and falling in a
rain of fire, In ihuso dark hours
before the dawn, on the 13th of
November, 1b:i8.

A Wondorful Change.
About filly years ago a celebra
ted divine held that science bad
about reached tbe maximum of
possibilities, for it was God's will
that the Titans should not climb
the heavens. Geology was then in
its infancy, the spirit of invention
had only made its appearance, and
electricity had not gone further
than flashing messages over wires.
We wonder what that divine would
think now were he alive and read
up in scientific discovery. He
would find tbst the Titans, if they
had not yet climbed the heavens,
had discovered a plan in creatiou
giand in its outliucs and beautiful
in its execution. He would find, if
not a glimpse of heaven, at faast a
conclusive evidence of heavenly
benevolence in tbe proof that tho
earth’s supply of coal and treasure
were locked up for man's use ages
before his creation. In consider
ing the facts registered in the bow
els of the earth and brought to
light l>y science, showing how a
condition of chaos has, hy slow tie*
groes, Wen changed into a para
disc, be might change his miud as
to man’s climbing propensities, and
concedo that tho higher he climbed
the more rational was he likely to
become in his conception of crea
tion. If such a man were told
that electricity could be made avail
ublo as an illuminator, that light*,
ning could bo used to convey the
human voice to any distance, or he
stored, like aheat in a sack, for fu.
lure use, ho would consider such a
prediction in t!ie naturo of mad-
man'ti ravings, liuleid, to tho
moat reflect!vo mind, the inven
tions and discoveries of the post
half century must present a cause
for just a»tonisbment. In that
Hhort period the mateiials and
forces of nature have been substi
tuted for manual labor, distance
has been virtually destroyed as a
bir to communication, and every
avenue of Uuuiau energy has been
facilitated by the stupendous rela
tions of science nnd invention. If
we would compare tho iron ships
that croui tho ocean with less dan
ger ot accident than attends trav<
cling on laud by the safest nceom
modutions, with tho vessels that
plowed tho briny uiaio for ten cen
turies without sousiblu change in
the unsafely of their construction,
we could perceive how wonderful
is the chungs that has suddenly
burst upou tbe world for the bene
fit of man. It is not to be over*
looked that more useful inventions
have hren patented in a single your
during the post half a century than
were Ha-lied from tho brain of mao
from tho timo that Adam was a boy
until A. D. 1800. Tho world has
certainly passed from an arbitrary
J.eriod of hardships and ignoranco
into an era of new and beautiful
resources ts tho consequence of
mail's efforts to climb the heavens.
He should keep on climbing.—

Birds at the Lighthouses.
The keeper of the lighthouse at
Atlantic city supplies his table
with all kinds of winged game at
certain seasons of the year without
wasting as much as a pinch of shot
or using a trap of any kind. The
most favorable times for ibis cheap
supply of game are when the bird*
are migrating north in the spring
and returning to southern clio es
in the fall. They follow the Jer
sey coast all the way up or down
in their flights. At night they fly
high, a«.d when they sight Abse
com Inlet light, which is 167 feet
abovo the ground, they head di<
reotly for it. They seem to be at*
traded the same as moths flicker
around a candle flame. If they
aro being carried along by a heavy
wind they are likely to dish
against tbe big plate glass win
dows surrounding the lenv, and the
little things drop to the ground
dead. The ohjeclionablo feature
of tbe affair is that they spatter
blood all over tbe glass, which is
aomotiinos hard to clcau.
To preyeot them from striking
the glass, M»jor Wolf, the keeper
has constructed a wire netting on
the north and south sides. Not
long tigo a large black duck, whiob
was tailing alohg in a heavy
storm, collided with tho netting
with such force ns to cause a dent
six inches sqtiaro. Ho was a very
dead duck when lie reached the
ground at the foot of tho tower.
When the weather is clear any

around the light all night. After
resting on the railing surrounding
the light they fly eff into the dark

Every oue knows that January

but not every ono know* why it i.
so. Tt marks no natural division
of time nor any event io tbe world’!
history which would give it auch
distinction. Tho winter aobtico—
that is, tho period^ when the suo
appears to reach its greatest south
rrn declension, or furthurest point
south of tho equator, occurs De
cumber 22, nine days before tbe
new year begins. The rammer
solstice, another natural dirision of
time, occur, on Juno 22, a point
nearly as far removed from tbe new
year as the calendar permits, Tbe

suggest themselves at once to tho

the desire to inaugurate hie reform

ted the ordinary year of 265 days
aod tbe fourth or extraordinary
year of 360, Tbo .uhdivision of
the year into month, was similar
to tho present system. The divis
ion of lime, though imperfect, is
still practiced in Rossis. The er
ror was in giving the year 365 1-2
daye, which is too much by about
eleven minutes. Popo Gregory
XII ordered October 5, 1582, to be
called tho l5tb, and tbutsll cculu*
rial years which sro act rauhip'os

which omission of three leap ye.ire
in every 400 years gives tlo civil

which stilt exceeds the truo eolar
year by a fraction of a second,
