' 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. Cbs'f/r* t/.e/o.i ~ 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) iStar. 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. w When He Wets Round.

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 A'veiv nervous shock which he was only ahie to withstand by application of hypodermic injections of morphine.”— AVip York Tribune. Inoculnaliou Against Snake Poison. The Rev. Uharles Hixby. a native of Surinam, says that in Dutch Guiana pre 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.
