—- OUR GOOD SHIELD. THE AIR. ... .. Che Fars Is Flays in J’re.ervlng Vs from Harm. , The sensational statements which were widely published during tne recent appearance of a strange cornet In Andromeda, and the attention which was drawn to the Biela swarm ot meteors at about the same time, served to remind every one of a singular, andjin some respects important, office of the atmosphere that we seldom think of. The atmosphere is not only a cover for the earth, serving to keep it warm bf retaining the heat derived from the sun. but it is also a shield, which effectually protects the earth against missiles from space. The service which the soft, transparent air thus renders is, indeed, a wonderful one. Many thousands of meteors every day rush into the atmosphere with a velocity averaging sixty times that of a cannon-ball,and yet we are perfectly safe because they cannot reach the ground; except in the form of mlcroscop'.c particles of dust But fcr the resistance interposed by tlie atmosphere, the mortality from meteors might form an interesting list in the general statistics of mankind. It is the excessive velocity of the meteors which leads to their destruction. Making due allowance for the comparative rarity of the air at the great height at which meteors become luminous, the heat developed by their ru>h of twenty-flve or thirty miles in a second must be sufficient to diss pate them almost instantly. In the case of the Biela meteors, it is pretty definitely known that the particles which enter the atmosphere, when the earth in its orbit meets the meteoric swarm, once formed part of the mass of a comet, known as Biela’s comet, which split into two parts in 1846, and was last seen in the form of a comet —then a double comet —in 1852. But every year in the month of November, when the earth approaches very near to the path in which the missing comet formerly travelled, and which is now followed by tbe meteors which apparently represent all that is left of the comet, a greater or less number of the meteors plunge into the air and are consumed. In November, 1872, in November, 1885, and again in November last year a goodly swarm of the meteors encountered the earth. The date of this encounter in 1872 and 1885 was November 27, but last year the greatest number of meteors was seen on the night of November 23. The fact that some of them are always to be seen for sev - eral days before and after the main swanm is met shows that the path they travel in must be several millions of miles broad, since the earth moves about one million six hundred thousand miles in a day. Now tbe point of all this is to show how the atmosphere deals with tbe pieces of a comet that dash into it. Although they sometimes fall almost as thick as snowflakes in a winter storm, so that it is almost impossible to count them, vet as each one flashes upon the view it fades again and disappears in tbe bight, without approaching the earth within many miles There are two other well-known streams of meteors following in the tracks of comets which the earth meets every year, one on August 10 and the other on November 13; but just as with the Biela meteors, the air consumes them with momentary fire. In 1885, while the Biela meteor shower was in progress, a ten-pound meteorite, consisting mainly of iron, fell in Mexico, and some have thought that this may be a piece of Biela’s disintegrated comet, which, being larger than the vast majority of its fellows, was liable w> pass through the air with more than its outer shell being melted off; but it is very doubtful whether this bolide had any actual connection with the meteor shower. Nevertheless, as every one knows, the fall of bolides, or meteorites, upon tbe earth, although rare, is not an excessively infrequent phenomenon; but they do not come, like the meteors, in swarms or showers, and they appear to have no connection with comets. And although they do succeed in reaching the ground, yet the effect of the resistance interposed by the atmosphere is shown by their explosion into fragments, the melting away of their surfaces and tbe slowing of their velocity, so that whep they strike they penetrate but a short distance into the ground, and are sometimes dashed in pieces by the shock. One cannot look up into the soft blue air and feel that, in addition to all its other benfleent effects, it protects us so wonderfully against a peril that we should otherwise be unable to avoid, without a deeper sense of the marvelous fitness of our planet to be an inhabited world. The Cotton Acreage. The newspapers of the South are now earnestly appealing to the planters not to plant a large acreage in cotton because of the present high price of the staple, and point out the disaster that will inevitably result. Many county alliances have taken action looking to a limited acreage, and there is now talk of an acreage convention to impress upon all the necessity of not planting too much land in cotton. The Commissioner of Agriculture of Alabama, who has been looking into the matter, expresses tbe opinion, based upon the sale of fertilizer bags and other indications, that there will be a greatly increased cotton acreage in Alabama this year, and he so thoroughly appreciates the danger that ho has published a card in the leading State papers predicting disaster in the .event of a big cotton crop, and recommending the farmers to hold a convention to discuss the matter. "It is to be hoped,” says the New Orleans Times-Democrat, in discussing the matter, "that some moans will be found to bring the matter to the attention of the farmers before the planting is completed. The South narrowly escaped serious financial difficulty last year in consequence of the depressed conditipn of cotton. It will soon drift back to a big acreage. The matter must bo brought before the farmers in an Impressive and oon- . vine!ng way.”—-Baltimore Sun.

A Cat Jnmpe Twenty-two Foot. There l« a large Maltoso cat making its headquarters at the Seventh Police Precinct Station that is bound to go on record as the smartest feline known. Like all other cats it delights in capturing sparrows, but unlike other cats, it has never been known to let a bird get away that It made up Its mind to catch. Liout. Thompson is authority for the statement that tbe cat, perched on the cornice of the building, made a leap of twcuty-two feet Into a tree and caught a sparrow. The Lieutenant has also watched the cat while bird-catching and has counted nine sparrows carried to a spot, and after the bunt was over devoured one by one. A peculiar trait of tbe cat is that there is but one man who reports at the Station that she will make friends with, and he Is Patrolman Rowland. When be is on night duty the cat will follow him from the time he goes on duty until relieved next morning. AH the dogs in the Newburg region have encountered the cat on several occasions, and when she is In sight the canines take the other side of the s treat—Cleveland Press. A Curious Marriage Custom. The marriage customs in some parts ot Brittany are very curious. In Corneille the village tailor la the Important personage to whom the candidate for matrimony applies for a list of eligible girls. Having selected one, the tailor at once proceeds to the maiden’s father, carrying a wand of broom. He is dressed for the occasion inofficial stockings, one of which is of violet color and tbe other red, and with him is the suitor and his nearest relative. While tbe family chiefs are making their arrangements the lovers retire to the other end of the house and discourse their own “sweet music.” It fs necessary that the engaged pair should put an end themselves to the term of negotiation. They approach holding eaca other by the hand, to the table where their parents or relatives are seated, when bread, wine and brandy are brought in. The yonng man and the maiden eat with the same knife and fork and drink out of tbe same cup. and the day for the union is then agreed upon.—The Million. Telepathy. Few people would be apt to understand what you meant if you talked to them about “telepathy.” New sciences spring up so rapidly nowadays that it is hard work to keep track of the new words coined for them. Telepathy is related in moaning to telegraphy, in that it is a sort of mental telegraphy or feeling at a distance, beingderived from the Greek, pathos, feeling, and tele, at a distance. It is only a new and more scientific name, however, for what we commonly speak of as mind-reading, though not all mind-reading Is telepathy. Bichard Hodson, Secretary of the Society for Psychical Research, defines telepathy as the ability of one mind to impress or be impressed by another.mind otherwise than through the recognized channels of sense, and cites some remarkable instances of mind-reading and thought transference investigated by the society. These, he thinks, confirm the conclusion that thought transference is a reality.— Chautaquan. A Woman’ll Ixmely Half-Century. A strange romance was ended by the death near Stoncrsville, Pa., recently, of Mary Reis, who for fifty years led a lonely life because her parents forbade an early marriage. She was 78 years old. When a girl she fell in love with a young man whom her parents did not admire, and they forbade a marriage. This broke Mary’s heart and her home had no more charms for her. She preferred to live by herself and she refused to accept tbe hospitality of friends or neighbors, saying that all the world was against her. Twenty years ago she moved into the little stone house, and after that she rarely saw anybody. On Monday a friend called and offered to help her in any way, but the aged lady refused aid. Her body was discovered on her kitchen floor and 820 was found in the little bouse of the recluse.—Pailndelphla Record. Protecting Fruit from Front. A cultivator of fruits which are likely to suffer from severe frosts has devised a simple way of protecting his trees. He places on every acre a 100-gallon iron cask. This is filled with oil, which is conducted by two pipes between the rows of trees. At every twenty feet are, elbows over which are flat iron sheet pans, containing oil. This spatters and vaporizes as it burns, and not only makes an intensely hot flame, but creates a dense smoke which acts as a smudge. The cost of the plant is put at $25 per acre, and the oil should not cost over $7 an acre in the coldest winter. This method is likely to be of special value in citrus orchards, as well as in the cultivation of winter vegetables where there is danger of frost How One Whist Party Was Enlivened. A novel and mirth-provoking experiment was devised recently by an original hostess for the selection of partners at a whist party. Familyjalbums were ransacked for photographs of all the gentlemen present in long dresses, in kilts, or in the"first pair,” and these were shaken together In a hat from which the ladies drew. Some ot the bald heads above the dross suits boro '.sufficient resemblance to tbe bald beads in the muslin baby frocks to bo easily recognized, but in others difficult .to trace ownership. Tho most amusing part of tbe play was the amazement of the men when the pictures appeared, for they, like the ladies, were unaware of the plan. The Bost System of Fortification Is that adopted by people in precarious health who wisely fortify their systems against disease with that acceptable and effectual barrier against Its inroac’s—Hostetter's Stomach Bittors. Precautionary measures, when tho health is but slightly Impaired, is, is physicians well know, worth any amount of medication afterward. A premonitory malarial chill, a fit of indigestion, increasing irregularity of the bowels, a warning rheumatic twinge, inactivity of the klnneys, slight at first bilious, sallownoss accompanied with furred tongue— these are appeals to the sense of self-protection which no person of common judgment will disregard. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters preserves those who take it from malaria, dyspepsia, chronic constipation, rheumatism, kidney and bladder trouble and liver complaint. Nervous Invalids, persons troubled with the Infirmities incident to advanced vears, ladies in delicate health, and convalescents derive infinite benefit from tho Bitten. He Overdid It.

--i'l ‘ SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT BREAD Which HoaaekeeperH Should Earneetly Connlder, A serious danger menaces the health otthe people of this country in tho numerous alutn baking powders that aro now being urged upon tho public. There Is' no question an to the detrimental effects of therm powders upon the system. F.vory Board of Health, every physician, will tell you of tho unwholesome qualities they add to the food. Some countries have absolutely prohibited the sale of bread containing alum. Even small doses ot alum, given to children, have produced faUl results, while cases of heartburn, indigestion, griping constipation, dyspepsia, and various klxdrea gastric troubles from irritation of the mucous membrane, caused by tho continuous use of food prepared with the alum or alum-phos-phate powders, arc familiar In the practice of every physician. It is not possible that any prudent housewife, any loving mother, will knowingly use an article of food that will Injure the health of her household, or perhaps cause the death of her children. How shall the dangerous alum powders be distinguished? And how shall the danger to health from their use be avoided? Generally, alum powders may bo known Irom the pr.ee at which they are sold, or from the factjthat they are accompanied by a gift, or are disposed of under some scheme. The alum powder costs but a few cants a pound to make, and is often sold at 20 or 25 cents a pound. If some present is given with it, the price may pound. It is impossible to name all the alum powders in the market, but any baking powder sold at u low price, or advertised as costing only half as much as cream of tartar powders, or accompanied by a present, or disposed of under any scheme, is of this class, detrimental to health and to be avoided. But the easy, safe and certain protection ot our bread, biscuit and cake from all danger of unwholesomeness is in the use of the Boyal Baking Powder only. This powder is mentioned because of the innumerable reports In its favor by high medical authorities, by the U. 8. Government, and by the official chemists and Boards of Health, which leave no doubt as to its entire freedom from alum, lime and ammonia, its absolute purity and wholesomeness. While its use is thus a safeguard against the poisonous alum powders, it is satisfactory at the same time to know that it makes the whitest, lightest, sweetest and most delicious food, which will keep moist and fresh longer, and that ; can be eaten with immunity hot or cold, stale or fresh, and also that owing to its greater strength it is more economical than others. These facts should incline consumers to turn a deaf ear to all importunities to buy the Inferior powders, if a grocer urges the sale of the cheap, impure, alum brands, it should be borne in mind that it Is because he can make more profit on them. The wise housekeeper will decline in all cases to take them. Take no chancee through using a doubtful article where so important a matter as the health or life of dear ones is at stake. Lady Hartly’s Newspaper. The late Lady Dnffus Hardy, the author of several popular English novels, found her greatest pleasure in writing and editing a little newspaper of her own at her own .home. She printed in this sheet all her innermost thoughts—every good, as well as bad one—and she also infiltrated family secrets and scandals in the neighborhood. After her paper was written and edited for the week it is said she appeared before the world ennobled and purified because she had then ridden herself of ail meaner thoughts. To this day no one has perused tbe volumes of her paper, but when tbe time comes to open these pages Heaven only knows to what the world will be treated. For Engaged Giris. The craze of the day is for some odd little trinket to hang in the chain ot tbe chain bracelet locked on the arm of every girl (lucky enough to have a lover.

It is of hammered gold the ruby gleaming iu the midst Glass lockets, too, are seen, and in their transparency a fourleaved clover appears. And tiny little lanterns with magic slides through which the girl that wears it and she alone, knows how to find the face of the man who carries the key to the fetter. A Teller of Wondrous Tales.
