' THE PLANETS.
A Ftw Facts oflntcrost About
the Earth’s Neighbors.
Points Abont Venus, Mars, Marcnry, Jupi
ter, Saturn end the Ro-.t.
Veil us, so xvcll known to us nil ns the
loveliest object in the heavens, the even
in'; nnii the morning star, resembles
closely our own < urth. Its size is almost
the ime, its diameter being 7,000; its
\Jsy i- almost the same length,
and ils density is rather less tlinri five
times that of water, it revolves round
the sun at n disfan-e of 00,000,000 miles
in the spat eof23 I days. Like Ah reury,
hour ver, Venus is moonless. Passing
the earth in tie- meantime, we come to
the’.veil known planet Mars. This plan
et is particularly interesting in many
points of view. Next to Mercury it is
the smallest of the four interior planets,
it- diameter being only 4,200 miles, or
little more than tin!f that of the Jvirth or
Ven\js, Its distance from the sun is
1 4 1,000,000 miles, and it completes its cir
cuit in 047 days. The length of its days
does not differ materially from that of
• sir own. Mars has two moons, and one
of them presents a phenomenon unique iu
the system. No other moon behaves like
thi, one, for it go' s round Mars about
three times everyday; that is to say, it
goes faster round Mars than Mars does on
its own axis. Imagine our moon rising
mid setting three times every twenty-four
hours. Another interesting feature iu
.Mars is this; we can see through our tele
scopes what seems to he the configura
tion of it . continents and nee,ills and also
ui ri > inn hit ion of snow at its poles.
M e next turn our attention to the oth
er group of planets Jupiter, Saturn,
I ramis mid N’epture. These me distiu
gui Jied lay thejr enormous size, immense
distance from the sun, rapid revolution
on (heir own axis, and very small density.
The elmnge from M irs to Jupiter is in
deed remarkable. The latter planet,
familiar to every observer of the heavens,
is indeed a giant among giants. In mass
it i , equal t > all the ither planets put
together, its diameter being no less than
Mo,ooo miles, and its distance from the
Him 1182,000,000 miles. It takes 4,332
days to complete its yearly revolution.
Although of such enormous dimensions,
it turn, on its own axis In less than ten
hours. From the ■■ mall density (1.38) of
Jupiter, we should imagine it to he com
posed, in great part at least, of lluid or
gaseous matter not yet cooled siillieiently
to form solid laud. From certain phe
nomena on its surface it is evdient that it
is almost completely enveloped in clouds,
■ mid it is doubtful if we have ever actual
-1 •
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- !
meats we got the first hint of the velocity ■
of light. Next in order in our outward !
journey comes Saturn, at the distance of
NS4,Ut)O,OtK) miles from the sun, and tak
ing no lc,s than 10,75’J days to complete
its revolution round that luminary.
This planet, though less than Jupiter, is
still of gigantic dimensions, its diameter
beiflg 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
oeean it would float with a fourth of its
hulk aliove the level of the water. The
met remark able thing, however, about
this planet is the system of rings by
which it is surrounded. W’liat these
rings nix' has long been a puzzle to as
tronomers, but the most plausible expla
nation seems to he that they are composed
of myriad hosts of small meteoric bodies
circulating at some distance round the
body of the planet. Saturn lias no less
than eight moons under its control, and
if it has any inhabitants like ourselves j
which is not likely, however —the heav
ens must he a stran ■ sight to them, with
these eight moon , and tin teorir sxvuruu.

Enduring Keproef,
Then is perhaps no better test of a
man’s character than the 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 aeknowl- |
edge his errors, and to welcome the criti
cisms which point them out to him. It
is rarely ditlicult for us to timl an excuse
xve are 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 oondeui- :
nation of some wrong action of ours; but
to refuse to adopt this latter course,
when xve know xve are wrong is to reven
to our better consciousness of others, an
essential defect in our character.
That man is strong who dares to con
fess that he 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 has
understanding, and he xv ill understand
knowledge;” for one of the l>est evidences
of the possession of that discreet self
government w hich 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 it proof,
and to profit by it when accepted.— l)

A Mule Under Fire.
The following incident is taken from
the “111-collections of a Private” in tin
Boston C'mtmercial Hull/-tin: I must not
forget to chronicle a laughable incident j
that occurred on Morris Island, S. (,'. It
was in the early days of the siege. Home ;
ammunition was wanted in a battery nt :
the front and n mule-driver volunte"reil '
to deliver it. The only road lay along
the sandy beach for a distance of u mile I
nml a half, most of the route being with- j
i in the range of Forts Sumpter and Wng !
ner. ’i'lii* mule team started up the
beach. Sumpter began shelling furioti -
j ly. The driver laid on the lashes, the j
mule, with ears laid hack, plied his h .s
a hundred revolutions to the minute. A 1
shell would strike the heaeh and explode; \
then another would whizz by the team; !
j then that mule would stop and reflect a
moment or try to turn back, when down i
' would come the whip. A fresh start for '
a short distance and then n halt, as nil- j
other shell exploded. Then the driver
jumped from his sent, caught the animal |
by the head and went on a dozen rods !
furl her.
Wagner 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
w.-.s headed for i amp and started at its
utmost speed. Down the sandy road
flew the animal, the driver rapidly plying
the whip, till at last they reached the
shelter of the sand-hills. Just then a I
shell from Sumpter came shrieking
through the ,iir. Striking the heaeh at
the rear of the team, it bounded upwards
nml exploded apparently right above the
mule. A cloud of smok: hid the team
for a moment, but when it cleared away
llit re stood the old mule, with head down
nud ears hack, kicking most viciously at
the cart, that had been smashed and brok
en up by a fragment of the shell. The
driver lay on the sand, hut jumped up;
he limped towards the mule, cut him
loose from the 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 vest
sel all joined in hearty cheers and waving
of caps. The rebels joined in the demon
stration to the pluck of the driver and
the comical courage of his long-eared
charge.
Americanisms.
There lire three terms very often quoted
ns American “slang” which possess cer
tain peculiarities of locality. These urn
“guess,” “calculate” and “reckon.”
One may travel through wlmt are known
ns the Southern Status for tlve years and I
never once hear either of the first two !
words, unless spoken by a northerner
or a man from the West. The Southern- j
er “reckons” everything, except, perhaps, ‘
consequences, and they are left to take i
care of themselves. “Guess” is more or
less universal in the states, and “calcu
late” is common only to the North and j
extreme East. “Stranger” is frequently j
erroneously used by English writers and
speakers ns an ordinary colloquialism of
all Americans. It is the property of the j
South and Southwest only, and even |
there is rapidly becoming obsolete. But'
to these expressions it is hardly fair to
append the 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 lias 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- j
suade her that such is the case, vainly,
for she is quite satisfied with her bargain.
“All right,’’ says he, “it’s not uiy fu
neral.” This is slang, pure and simple,
but it has a derivation. It is an unin- >
tentionul protest against the elaborate oh- :
aequial ceremonies indulged in by all
classes iu the United States, ahd it is a
grim reference to one of those not unfre
quent “shindies” that take place in west
ern bar-rooms, from xv hieh the men who
escape with their whole skins have reason
to thank their stars that “it is not their
funeral.”— Gha m li-ri't Animal.
What an Indian Can Eat.
“An Indian can cat anything,” said a
Robert street commission merchant, as
txvo ancient children of the forest with
well-filled bags over their hacks made
their exit from the store-room. “These
squaws come here once or twice n week,’’
he continued, “and lu g for the tainted
meat and decayed vegetables and fruit.
They will take everything we give them,
and will put the stutY into the hag 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 all right.
I asked one of them how they could eat
such strong-smelling meat, when she in
formed me that in cooking it they de
stroyed the offensive odor. For all 1
know, these squaws keep Indian board
ing-houses. St. 1 \ml /Veneer I’.-'iW.

DEAD LETTERS.
The Office to Which They are
Sent in Washington.
Finding All Sorts of Articles in Missives
That Go Astray.
Among the many places of interest to
be visited iu Washington, perhaps there
is no other that is so absorbingly inter
esting to the great mass of visitors as the
Head Letter Office and the museum ron
nectod with it. There is nothing lobe
seen here, hut everyone is Capable Os un
der-landing ar.-i appreciating. Just in
•ide til-- large hall a space is railed (iff,
where visitors may stand and observe at
their leisure the work that is going on so
Imsily. Over 15,0 b ) letters a day to he
examined, assorted and disposed of!
W hat 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 anil as
sorted, tho- 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. 'l’he next letter the same. How
fast the heaps of the examined letters
grow, hut the work does not end, for the
supply is never exhausted, hut constant
ly replenished as the letters are passed on.
Here, as in many other departments, the
work is several days or weeks behind
time, and fresh approp.iations are need
ed for more workers.
Tho opened letters containing inclos
urcs of value are restored to the senders
when practicable, otherwise they arc re
corded and filed away, and may be re
claimed at any time. Other letters are
not recorded. They ere returned to the
writers, if possible, and when the writers
cannot can be found, the letters are de
stroyed. In tlie year 1884, more than
17,000 letters contained money, amount
ing to nearly $34,000. Some 20,000 let
ten contained drafts, checks, money or
ders, etc., to the value of more than sl,-
500,000. Som- idea of the growth of
tho postal service in the United States
for a century may he formed, when we
consider in this connection the state
ment, quoted from a postal report in
1788, that “305 valuable letters have ac
cumulated in the department since 1777.
Many thousand letters are received an
nually containing photographs, postage
stamps and merchandise. Thousands
of letters are deposited yearly in the Post
Office bearing no superscription what
ever, and all such of course are forward
ed to the Dead Letter Office for examina
tion. Easter cards and Christinas cards
are received by the gross. These are dis
tributed once a month among the child
ren in hospitals. All reading matter re
ceived, papers nud magazines, are dis
tributed among adults in hospitals.
Interesting as is the work that is be
ing carried on in the Dead Letter Office,
the museum of articles collected there is
infinitely more so. An inconceivable
variety of interesting objects, beautiful,
horrible, attractive, disgusting, amusing,
pathetic, valuable and worthless, nro ar
ranged in the glass cases. Some nieo
jewelry is displayed, brooches, lockets, a
watch and chain, the latest addition be
ing a fine gold headed cane, brought ill
the 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
s nt.'d! Were they betrothal rings, long
looked for with vain expectancy and
hope deferred? Did the senders wait for
a response, till the ardor that prompted
the gift grew cold? Who can tell?
Only tlie sibyls, sworn to secrecy, who
have persned the messages accompanying
the gilts.— llu»ton Tran»eript.
A Rage for Tattooing.
A gentleman writing from Yokohama
says: “The Japanese have acquired such
a passion for being tattooed that a law
lias been passed forbidding tlie marking
of natives. The law does not apply to
foreigners. It is quite tho thing now to
he tattooed, and elaborate designs are
traced on many travelers as an indelible
reminiscence of their sojourn in the east.
The sons of the l’rince of Wales, when
here a few years ago. were tattooed, and
several Russian dukes and sprigs of no
bility have undergone the process. The
si>n of Longfellow recently submitted to
a very elaborate tattoo decoration, and
for more than three months was in tho
hands of the tattooer, who did an amount
of work on him during this time that is
usually spread over a periled of three or
four years. This cau-i d. of course, a

Inoculnaliou Against Snake Poison.

ventive inoculation of snake ]x>ison
has been practised for centuries. A
snake is caught and teased until its |>oi
son glands are swollen with blood and
actively scenting. The reptile is then
killed, its glands an'extracted, dried and
pulverized. An abrasion of the skin of
the wrist (usually - ! is made, and some of
this poison dust nibbed into the wound.

Probably nooencern in. the country has ad
hered more strictly to the determination to
achieve saceess bv the liberal use of printer’s
ink than has the Brown Chemical Company of
Baltimore, Md. Starting business about live
years ago, they have expended over $1,500,(ft)
m the preparation and circulation of printed
matter, more than half of which has been paid
for newspaper advertising. All this has Seen
done to make known the virtues of their cele
brated Brown’s Iron Bitters.
As might be expected, very large sales have
restated Irwm this enormous oullay. In fact.
Brown’s Iron Bitter** is about as slaple in many
drug store* as is flour at the corner grocery.
Like all good things. Brown’s iron Bitters has
been largely Imitated. Twere are unscrupu
lous manufacturers who cater to just this sort
of trade, and some dealers are so lacking in
principle, that because a greater profit can be
tnado on fraudulent than on genuine medi
cines, they are willing to delude the public by
pushing off other Tonic Medicines in place of
the genuine Brown’s Iron Bitters, which in un
doubtedly one of the purest and best medicines
know'n. These frauds have been practiced so
extensively, that the Company, finding all
other mea**} Inadequate, have at last deter*
mfned to try a little cold law to put a stop
to them, and suits for heavy damages have
therefore been commenced. We wish the
Brown Chemical Company every success iii
their Buit3i as it is high time those who
have pluck enough to carry large enterprises
such as theirs to success, should be protected
from those who live not by their own genius
and eflfcrt, but by copying and counterfeiting
things that have been made standard and val
uable by others.
