There have -been many learned attempts to answer this ing a canopy over us. In coming off the mountain in the morning we ran upon a 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. Question.

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.

After amusing ourselves by _ _ ^ tlie quills in a rotten stick, we made has been even supposed to have been held j a slip noose out of a spruce root, and 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.— Edward S. Holden in The Century. John s. Thompson, L>. D.

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.

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.

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.

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.
