ORIGIN OF ASTRONOWY.

Qni>ra Victoria Delighted with Them.
Factory Versn* Kitchen.
Queen Victoria, according to Truth of
London, has become perfectly delighted
with the female domestics that one of the
ladies of the roval household brought to
her from Bombay several years ago. Site
has recently sent orders for servants
enough to perform the work in Ostxirne,
Balmoral and Windsor castles. It is
said that these girls from “India’s coral
strand” represent ail the virtues and none
of the vices common to the average city
domestic. They entertain no beaus in
the kitchen, eat none of the choice meats
left over from a meal, have no impe
cunious relatives to supply with sugar
and spices, do not want to go to a picnic
every week, and never give notice that
they are going to leave just before house
cleaning time. They are represented
as rjuick to learn, while they con-
shier obedience as a virtue. They
soon acquire enough of the English lan
guage to enable them to understand all
that is said to them about their work, but
never learn the words necessary to use
“in jawing back." They are scrupu
lously neat and orderly in doing their
work. Wlven it is completed they go to
their own apartments and nothing is
heard from them.
It is thought that the fashion of em
ploying Indian servants will extend from
palace to mansion and from there to
smaller houses. With all the complaints
about the difficulty of obtaining employ
ment in Great Britain, most housekeepers
have trouble in securing domestics. As
a rule no girl will accept domestic ser
vice if she can obtain employment in a
store, shop or factory. There has been
so much said and written about higher
occupations for women that few are
willing to work on the ground floor of a
. house.
Female human nature is the same in
America as in England. The disposition
in both countries is to leave the occupa
tions that are fairly remunerative and
which .ofTer constant employment for
those where the pay is small and the
tenure uncertain. Housework is con
sidered as menial, while doing piece
work in a factory is regarded as elevat
ing. It is claimed that there is a
certain independence about work in
a factory that does not pertain to
employment in a private house.
The sort of independence that girls
have in establishments where cloth is
made into garments that are to be sold
to a great clothing house lias been shown
in the various articles now being printed
in tlie newspapers. An exhibit has also
been made of the pay they receive. A
better state of things exists in factories
where wool and cotton are converted
into cloth, and even in places where
cloth is made into garments by the firms
that sell tliem directly to customers, but
in neither case is there as largo pay, as
good treatment, or as much leisure as
can be found in a private house presided
over by an intelligent woman.
I-n a factory a girl learns scarcely any
thing that will be of benefit to her if she
ever has a house to keep of her own. In
the liouse of another, managed as the
home of a refined family, slie will have
an opportunity of learning almost every
thing that will be qf advantage to her in
after life. She can acquire the art of
cooking, if she is deficient in it, learn
how to take care of furniture and how
to receive^and entertain company. A
man and a woman who have a few do
mestics take an interest in them and are
ordinarily good friends to them. It is
hardly to bo expected that the overseer
of fifty persons will take an interest in
any of them.—Chicago Times.

Astronomy is older than the first re
cords of any nation. In order that the
records might exist, it was first necessary
to divide the years and times by astro- j to the ground,
nomical observations. On the other
hand, I believe the travelers of today
have found no tribe so degraded as to be
without some knowledge of the sort.
It is extremely doubtful if animals no
tice special celestial Inxlios. Birds seem
to be inspired by the approach pf day and
not by tlie actual presence of the sun. It
is a question whether dogs “bay the
moon” or only the inoon 3 light. A
friend maintains that her King Charles
spaniel watched the j mgress of an oc
tal tat ion of Venus by the crescent moon
with tlie most vivid interest. This is the

by a celestial phenomenon. The actions
of the most ignorant savages during a to- !
tal solar eclipse, compared with those of
animals, throw much light on the ques
tion of whereabouts in the scale of intel
ligence the attention begins to be directed
to extra terrestrial occurrences. The sav
ages are appalled by the disappearance
of the sun itself, while animals seem to
be concerned with the advent of dark
ness sirqplv.
I am told that the Eskimos of Smith’s
sound have names for a score or more of
stars, and that their long sledge jour
neys are safely made by the guidance of
these stars alone. I have myself seen a
Polynesian islander embark on a canoe,
without compass or chart, bound for an
island three days’ sail distant. His
course would need to be so accurately
laid that at the end of his three days he
should find himself within four or five
miles of his haven; if lie passed the low
coral island at a greater distance, it could
not be seen from his frail craft. There
can be little doubt but that lie used the
sun by day and the stars by, night to
hold his course direct.
There must have been centuries during
which such knowledge was passed from
man to man by word of mouth, woven
into tales and learned as a part of the
lore of the sailor, the hunter or the tiller
of the soil. No one can say how early
this knowledge of the sky was put into
the formal shape of maps, globes or cata
logues. Eudoxus is said to have con
structed a celestial globe -B. C. 366.
Globes would naturally precede maps,
and maps mere lists or catalogues.
The prototype of all sidereal catalogues
is the Almagest of Ptolemy (A. D. 150),
which includes not only the observations
of Ptolemy, but those of the great Hip
parchus (B. C. 1*27). It contains the
description of 1,022 stars, their positions,
and their brightness. Here we meet for
the first time the name magnitude of a
star. Ptolemy divides all tlie stars into
magnitudes—degrees of brightness.
Sirius, Capella, are of the first magni
tude; the faintest stars visible to tlie eye
are of the sixth. But Ptolemy lias gone
further, and divides each magnitude into
three parts. The moderns divide each
class into ten parts, that is, decimally.—

of that instrument:
An Act to amend Par. 1 of Sec. 2 of Article
vi of tlie Constitution of this State, so as to
increase tlie number of Judges of the Su
preme Court of this State from three to five,
to consist of a Chief Justice and four Asso
ciate Justices.
Section I- Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of the State of Georgia, and it is
hereby enacted by authority of the same,
i That the Constitution of this State be amend-
i ed by adding after the words “Chief Justifie”
! in the second line of the first paragraph of
! section 2, article vi, thereof, tlie words, “and
Optimistic View of Life.
Putting aside the question of revealed
religion, poets and philosophers have be
gun to see a dignity in human ijature, a
wisdom and beauty in life as we know
it, and to abandon those dark and dan
gerous speculations which most com
monly lead thought into gloom and de
spondency. Things exist according to
fixed laws, some of which we have dis
covered and know to be just. We reason,
therefore, that those laws which we
have not yet penetrated, and may never
penetrate, whose manifestations seem
cruel and unjust, would, if properly un
derstood, be found equally beneficent.
Let us, therefore, obey those laws which
we comprehend, bear with patience that
which we control, hold fast to the happi
ness which comes in our way, and not
trouble ourselves too much about the
mysteries of our existence.
Especially let us recognize ourselves as
a part of humanity. Let us be charita
ble and sympathetic, so that others vill
grant us similar favors and the sum of
happiness be increased. Let us not curse
men for faults for which from die na
ture of humanity they are not responsi
ble. Let us rather study the causes of
those faults and try if there lie remedies
for them. Let us consider that nations
are only aggregations of single men,
each of whom is bound by the same
limitations as ourselves.—Charles Lotin
Hildreth in American Magazine.

Gotliam’s Chinese Restaurant.
Unlike Americans, the Chinese do not
generally pay by the dishes ordered, but
by the tables or spreads, called by the
Chinese “Gzuh." A first class spread
includes about forty courses, and it takes
two days to finish the feast. It costs $50.
A second class spread, with twenty-
eight courses, costs $40. A third class
spread, with eighteen courses, costs $25.
The cheapest spread contains eight
courses for $8. This is the lowest price
for which a man can order a formal din
ner in a first class Chinese restaurant.
But then the spread is made for any
number of people within twelve.
If a man simply wants to eat a short
meal for himself and a friend or two, he
can get ready made dishes of fish, chick
en, duck, pigs’ feet, rice, tea, etc.,
cheaper than in any other restaurant, be
sides many dishes peculiar to Chinatown.
The prices run from live to twenty-five
cents. The foods are all chopped in
small pieces, rendering knives and forks
unnecessary. The Chinese table imple
ments are chopsticks, of ebony or i vory,

London and French Shopkeepers.
London shopkeepers expect their cus
tomers to know what they want and take
it if they find it; French shopkeepers dis
play more wares ou their counters than
they have got on their shelves in the hope
of • tempting weak human nature—the
weak feminiHe nature—to buy what is
shown, whether needed or not. In a
London shop a customer will always he
treated with great civility; in a French
shop a customer will not lie treated at all
—-she will simply he endured. Some-
tliing df this passive disrespect of the cus
tomer is to lie encountered in those great
private shopping institutions of England,
the co-operative stores. A set oil for its
unpleasantness in this case, however, is
the undoubted cheapness of the articles,
which are actually sold at wholesale
rates.—Olive Logan in Boston Transcript.

Coal In Ancient Times. •
Pliny, in his natural history,’ describes
anthracites found in Africa as a black
schistose useful in medicine, but no men
tion is made of its inflammability. Jet
was called black amber—succinium
nigrum. Yvhen Roman traders told of
the burning of amber for fuel by the
natives on the shores of the Black sea, it
is supposed the material was a variety of
lignne, and not amber as reported.
Coal was probably used in China as
fuel long before it was known in the
western world. About the middle of tlie
Thirteenth century a Venetian traveler
and writer, Marcus Paulus Venetus, gives
the following account:
“Through the whole province of
Cathay, black stones are dug out of the
mountains, which being put in the fire
burn like wood, and when kindled con
tinue to burn for a long time. * * *
If lighted in the evening they keep alive
the whole night.”
The ancient Britons made use of coal
Stone hammers
have been found in coal croppings, and
the name—formerly “cole”—is cf British
After the conquest the Romans
began to use it, for coal cinders have
been found in Roman walls, and Roman
coins in beds of cinders. But coal was
not brought into general use until the

Food for a Locomotive.
It will, perhaps, interest some readers
to know how much fuel a locomotive
bums. This, cf course, depends upon
die quality of fuel, work done, speed and
character cf the road. On freight trains
an average consumption may be taken at
about one to one and one-half pounds of
coal consumed per car per mile. With
passenger trains, the cars of which are
heavier and the speed higher, the coal
consumption is greater. A. freight train
of thirty cars, at a speed of tliirty miles
A jterformer in a winter circus in New
York is delighting the small boys by pick
ing up his trick donkey and carrying it
out of the ring at tlie close of each per

No Scarcity of Salt.
It is said on the best authority that
“O.OQO.OOO bushels of salt are consume*’,
in this country. The average American
gets away with fifty pounds of salt every
year. The quantity taken at a time is so
small that a person hardly notices it, but
a year's consumption of salt by one per
son is almost a bushel. An Englishman
gets along on twenty-two pounds a year,
and in France an ordinary man swallows
eighteen pounds between New Year's
day aud December. If calculations
amount anytliing there is no danger of a
scarcity of the saline article, for a famous
statistician has declared that if all the
salt in the ocean were piled together, it
would make a bulk equal to 30,000,000
cubic miles. He never saw all this salt,
•and all that need
be done is to get it safely ashore.—Cur
