•• THE PLANETS.
A Few Facta of Interest About
the Earth’s Neighbors.
Points Akout Venus, Mars, Mercury, Jupi¬
ter, Saturn and the Rest,
Venus, so well known to us all as the
loveliest object iu the heavens, the even¬
ing and tho morning star, resembles
closely our own earth. Its size is almost
the s.ur.c, its diameter being 7,600; its
day is almost the same length,
and its density is rather less than five
times that of water. It revolves round
the sun at a distance of CO,000,000 miles
in the space of 224 days. Like Mercury,
however, Venus is moonless. Passing
the oarth in the meantime, we come to
the well known planet Mars. This plan¬
et is particularly interesting in many
points of view. Next fo Mercury it is
the smallest of the four interior planets,
its diameter being only 4,200 miles, or
ilittle more than half that of the Earth or
Venus. Its distance from the sun is
141,000,000 miles, and it completes its cir¬
cuit in 087 days. The length of its days
does not differ materially from that of
our own. Mars has two moons, and one
of them presents a phenomenon unique in
the system. No other moon behaves like
this one, for it gues round Stars about
three times everyday; that is to say, it
goi-.s faster round Mars than Mars docs on
its own axis. Imagine our moon rising
and setting three times every twenty-four
hours. Another interesting feature in
Mars is this; we can see through our tele¬
scopes what seems to lie tiie configura¬
tion of its continents and oceans and also
accumulation of snow at its poles.
AVe next turn our attention to the oth¬
er group of planets—Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Nepturc. These arc distin¬
guished by their enormous size, immense
distance from the sun, rapid revolution
on their own axis, and very small density.
The change from Mars to Jupiter is in¬
deed remarkable. Tlic latter planet,
familiar to every observer of the heavens,
is indeed a giant among giants. In mass
it is equal to all the other planets put
together, its diameter being no less than
85,000 miles, and its distance from the
sun 082,000,000 miles. It takes 4,332
days to complete its yearly revolution.
Although of such enormous dimensions,
it turns on its owu axis in less than tea
hours. From the small density (1.38) of
Jupiter, we should imagine it to be com¬
posed, in great part at least, of fluid or
gaseous matter not yet cooled sufficiehtly
to form solid land. From certain phe¬
nomena ou its surface it is evdient that it
is almost completely enveloped in clouds,
and it is doubtful if we have ever actual¬
ly seen the real solid muscles of this plan¬
et. Jupiter is attended by four moons,
which revolve round him at various dis¬
tances. The study of these bodies is of
great interest; from watching their move¬
ments we got the first hint of the velocity
of light. Next in order in our outward
journey comes Saturn, at tiie distance of
884,000,000 miles from the sun, and tak¬
ing no less than 10.759 (lays to complete
its revolution round that luminary.
This planet, though less than Jupiter, is
still of gigantic dimensions, its diameter
being 71,000 miles. Saturn is the light¬
est of all the planets, its density being
only 0.75, so that if placed in a huge
ocean it would float with a fourth of its
bulk above the level of the water. The
most remarkable thing, however, about
this planet is the system of rings by
which it is surrounded. What these
rings arc lias long been a puzzle to as¬
tronomers, but the most plausible expla¬
nation seems to be that they are composed
of myriad hosts of small meteoric bodies
circulating at some distance round the
body of ilie planet. Saturn lias no less
than eight moons under its control, and
if it has any inhabitants like ourselves—
which is not likely, however—tho lieav- I
ens must be a strange sight to them, with
these eight moons and meteoric swarms.

Enduring Reproof.
There is perhaps no better test of a
man’s character than tho way in which
he bears himself under just reproof.
Every man makes mistakes; every man
commits faults; but not every man has
the honesty and meekness to acknowl¬
edge his errors, and to welcome the criti¬
cisms which point them out to him. It
is rarely difficult for us to find nu excuse
we arc looking for. It is, in fact, al¬
ways easier to spring to an angry defense
■of ourselves, than to calmly acknowledge
the justice of another’s righteous condem¬
nation of some wrong action of ours; but
to refuse to adopt this latter course,
when wo know we are wrong is to revea
to our better consciousness of others, au
essential defect in our character.
That man is strong who dares to con¬
fess that lie is weak; lie is always totter¬
ing to a fall who needs to bolster up the
weakness of his personality by all sorts of
transparent shams. It is not in vain that
Scripture says: “Reprove one that lias
understanding, and he will understand
knowledge;” for one of the best evidences
of the possession of that discreet self
government which stands at the basis of
moral strength, and one of the best means
of gaining it when it is lacking, is just
this willingness to accept merited reproof,
and to profit by it when accepted,— Day
Star.
A Hole Under Fire*
The following incident i* taken from
the ‘‘Recollection* of a Private” in tho
Boston Commercial Bulletin: I must not
forget to chronicle a laughable incident
that occurred on Morris Island, 8. C. It
was in the early days of the siege. Some
ammunition was wanted in a battery at
the front and a mule-driver volunteered
to deliver it. The only road lay along
the sandy beach for a distance of a mile
and a half, most of the route being with¬
in the range of Forts Sumpter and Wag¬
ner. The mule team started Up the
beach. Sumpter began shelling furious¬
ly. The driver laid on the liishes, the
mule, with ears laid back, plied his legs
a hundred revolutions to the minute. A
sheii would strike the beach and explode;
then another would whizz by the team;
then that mule would stop and reflect a
moment or try to turn back, when down
would ocme the whip. A fresh start for
a short distance'and then a halt, as an¬
other shell exploded. Then the driver
jumped from his seat, caught the animal
by fhe head and went on a dozen rods
further.
At agner now opened on him. But still
the team gradually moved on, reaching
the battery finally unhurt. The ammuni¬
tion was quickly delivered and that mule
was headed for camp and started at its
utmost speed. Down the sandy road
flow the animal, the driver rapidly plying
the whip, till at last they reached the
shelter of the sand-hills. Just then a
shell from Sumpter came shrieking
through the air. Striking the beach at
the rear of the team, it bounded upwards
and exploded apparently right above the
mule. A cloud of sinok; hid the team
for a moment, but when it cleared away
there stood the old mule, with head down
and cars back, kicking most viciously at
tiie cart, that had been smashed and brok¬
en up by a fragment of the shell. Tho.
driver lay on the sand, but jumped up;
he limped towards the mule, cut him
loose from tiie cart, mounted, and gal¬
loped away to the camps.
Thousands of men, Union and Confed¬
erate, watched this performance. Our
men on shore and the sailors on the ves¬
sel all joined in hearty cheers and waving
of caps. Tiie rebels joined in the demon¬
stration to tho pluck of the driver and
the comical courage of his long-eared
charge.
Americanisms.
There are three terms very often quoted
ns American “siting” which possess cer¬
tain peculiarities of locality. These are
“guess,” “calculate” and “reckon.”
One may travel through what are known
as the Southern Status for five years and
never once hear either of the first two
words, unless spoken By a northerner
or a man from the West. The Southern¬
er “reckons” everything, except, perhaps,
consequences, and they are left to take
care of themselves. “Guess” is more or
Iess universal in the states, and “calcu¬
late” is common only to the Nortli and
extreme East. “Stranger” is frequently
erroneously used by English writers nnd
speakers as an ordinary colloquialism of
all Americans. It is the property of the
South and Southwest only, and Gvcn
there is rapidly becoming obsolete. But
to these expressions it is hardly fair to
append tho stigma of “slang.” Now,
there are plenty of slang words and
phrases in vogue in America which prob¬
ably are meaningless to English minds.
A lady has purchased an article for con¬
siderably more than its value, she shows
it to her husband, proclaiming its beauty
and cheapness, lie, seeing that she
had been overcharged, endeavors to per¬
suade her that such is the case, vainly,
for she is quite satisfied with her bargain.
“All right,” says he, “it’s not my fu¬
neral.” Tins is slang, pure and simple,
but it lias a derivation. It is an unin¬
tentional protest against the elaborate ob¬
sequial ceremonies indulged in by all
classes in the United States, and it is a
grim reference to one of those not unfre
quent “shindies” that take place in west¬
ern bar-rooms, from which the men who I
escape with their whole skins have reason
to thank their stars that “it is not their
funeral.”— Chambers'* Journal.
IVImt an Indian Can Eat.
“An Indian can eat anything,” said a
Robert street commission merchant, as
two ancient children of tlic forest with
well-filled hags over their backs made
their exit from tho store-room. “These
squaws come here once or twice a week,”
he continued, “and beg for the tainted
meat and decayed vegetables and fruit.
They will take everything wo give them,
and will put the stuff into tho bag and
carry it off. I have given them things
that no white being would think of eat¬
ing, and they seem to think it is nil right.
I asked one of them how they could cat
such strong-smelling meat, when she in¬
formed me that in cooking it they de¬
stroyed tlm offensive odor. For all I
know, these squaws keep Indian board*
ing-houscs.— St. Paul Pioneer Press.

DEAD LETTERS.
The Office to Which They are
Sent in Washington*
Finding All Sorts ef Articles in Missives
That Go Astray.
Among the many places Of interest t6
be visited in Washington-, perhaps there
is no other that is sO Absoibiogly inter¬
esting to l ho gfcat mass of visitors as the
bead Letter Office and the museum con
nected with it. There is nothing to be
seen here, but everyone is capable of un¬
derstanding and appreciating, -Just in'
sidc the large hall ft spdee is {Ailed off,
where visitor* may stfiiiil aid obsetVe at
their leisure the work that it geniig on so
busily. Ovet i5, <166 letters a day to be
examined-, assorted and disposed of!
What a large corps of clerks is needed
for the work, and how quickly, skillfully
and mechanically it goes on! In the
first room the letters are opened and as¬
sorted, those containing money or arti¬
cles of value going one way and all the oth¬
ers going another. A simple motion slits
open an envelope with unerring precision.
Tho letter is withdrawn, unfolded, re¬
placed. The next letter the same-. How
fast the heaps of the examined letters
grow, hut the work doe* not ezid, for the
supply is never exhausted, but constant¬
ly replenished as tile letters are passed on.
Here, as in many other departments, the
work is several days or weeks behind
time, and fresh appropriations are need¬
ed for more workers.
Tiie opened letters containing inclos¬
ures of value are restored to the senders
when practicable, otherwise they are re¬
corded and filed away, and may be re
claimod at any time, Other letters are
not recorded. They are returned to the
writers, if possible, and when the writers
cannot can be found, the letters are de¬
stroyed. In the year 1884, more than
17,000 letters contained money, amount¬
ing to nearly $34,000. Some 20,000 let¬
ters contained drafts, checks, money or¬
ders, etc., to the value of more than $!,-
500,000. Some idea of the growth of
the postal service in the United States
for a century may be formed, when we
consider in this connection the state¬
ment, quoted from a postal report iu
1788, that “305 valuable letters have ac¬
cumulated in tlic department since 1777.
Al-iny thousand letters are received an¬
nually containing photographs, postage
stamps and merchandise, Thousands
of letters aro deposited yearly in the Post
Office bearing no superscription what¬
ever, and nil such of course are forward¬
ed to the Dead Letter Office for examina¬
tion. Easter cards and Christmas cards
arc received by the gross. These arc dis¬
tributed once a month among tlic child¬
ren in hospitals. All reading matter re¬
ceived, papers and magazines, are dis¬
tributed among adults in hospitals.
Interesting as is the work that is be¬
ing carried on in tiie Dead Letter Office,
tlic museum of articles collected there is
infinitely more so. An inconceivable
variety of interesting objects, beautiful,
horrible, attractive, disgusting, amusing,
pathetic, valuable and worthless, are ar
ranged in tho glass cases. Some nice
jewelry is displayed, brooches, lockets, a
watch and chain, the latest addition be¬
ing a fine gold-headed cane, brought in
tlic very day of our visit. There are a
number of pretty rings, slender and
dainty circlets! How many an unwrit¬
ten romance may they not have repre¬
sented ! Were they betrothal rings, long
looked for with vain expectancy and
hope deferred? Did the senders wait for
a response, till tiie ardor that prompted
tiie gift grew cold? Who can tell?
Only tho sibyls, sworn to secrecy, who
have persued the messages accompanying
the gifts .—Boston Transcript.
A Bilge for Tattooing.
A gentleman writing from Yokohama
says; “The Japanese have acquired such
a passion for being tattooed ttiat a law
has been passed forbidding the marking
of natives. Tlic law does not apply to
foreigners. It is quite the tiling now to
be tattooed, and elaborate designs arc
traced on many travelers as an indelible
reminiscence of their sojourn in the cast.
Tlic sons of tho Prince of Wales, when
here a few years ago, were tattooed, and
several Russian dukes and sprigs of HO
bility have undergone tho process. The
son of Longfellow recently submitted to
a very elaborate tattoo decoration, and
for more than three months was in the
bands of tlic tattooer, who did an amount
of work on him during this time that is
usually spread over a period of three 01
four years. This caused, of course, a
severe nervous shock which he was only
able to withstand by application of
hypodermic injections of morphine.”—
New York Tribune.
Inocnluation Against Snake Poison.
Tiie Rev. Charles Bixby, a native of
Surinam, says that in Dutch Guiana pro
ventive inoculation of snake poison
lias been practised for centuries. A
snake IS CflUgllfc find t CUSC(1 until Its poi
son glands are swollen with blood and
actively secreting. The reptilo is then
killed, its glands arc extracted, dried and
.pulverized. An abrasion of tiie skin of
the wrist (usually) is made, and some of
this poison dust rubbed into the wound
It is stated that those who have been thus
inoculated may be bitten with imp uni tc.
