McCullagh. late editor of the Globe-Democrat, were held this afternoon at the residence of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Manion. where he had made his home for many years. Rain had been falling all day without intermission and the weather was cold, but notwithstanding this there there was a large attendance of the friends and admirers of Mr. McCullagh. The house, though commodious, was not large enough to hold all who attended, and many were compelled to stand outside in the inclement weather. Mr. McCullagh's remains, which Ir.y in a casket of cedar covered with black broadcloth, we re in the parlor surrounded by many evidences of love and esteem in the way of floral offerings from coworkers ami others at home and abroad. Some time before the hour set for the services a considerable number of persons passed before the casket and viewed the remains. On too of the plain casket their eyes met a square silver plate, on which was the Inscription, "At restJoseph R. McCullagh.' Rev. John Snyder, pastor of the Unitarian Church of the Messiah, paid a beautiful tribute to the dead in a few well-chosen words.

A South Seu Pirate hoe Yenel W'nn Terror fur u Time. San Francisco Call. News has just come to hand by the recruiting vessel Rio Ige of the death of one of those celebrities or characters of the South sea known as Pirate Martin. He died a natural death. Pirate Martin was a fine-looking, handsome man. and had the aopearance more of a soldier than a sailor. He seemed to be always In hot water and always had a grievance. One day while gambling at a trader's house he was shot in the breast. It was a strange affair. While sitting in a room adjoining the store, the store being In darkness, a shot came from the store and the bullet plowed across Martin's chest, making a very ugly wound. The would-be assassin was the man who managed the concern and immediately decamped after firing the shot. Hut not to be outdone. Martin brought a case of dynamite ashore, and. placing it under the store, threatened to blow the whole concern sky high if the man who shot him did not turn up. The result was that a search party went out and soon returned with the delinquent, who was shaking with fear. Martin then gave him a chance of settling the affair with weapons on the beach, but the trader was too much of a cur and a coward to fight, so Martin, whose temper had cooled down, let him off for a consideration. 'While Martin was buccaneering with the Constantine he ran across the Dauphine. a French schooner. The French commander would not obey the order to heave to. and called out to his mate: "Dick, bring de pig." The pig was brought. "Now. den. Dick, bring von bottle." An empty bottle then showed up. "Now. den. Dick, make the bottle fast to the pig's head, den bend on the signal halliards and run 'em up to the main peak." And up went pig. bottle and all as a rcrdy to Martin's signal, and old Frenchy drew himself up as he remarked. "Dere. now. you tarn buccaneer. I tell you you von drunker pig." Martin's reply was a shot which made old Frenchy scutt! below nnd sing out io the mate: "D;ck. put on all de sail you can." Martin was supposed to he trading to a lrni of Noumean merchants when saiPntj the Constantlne Uut when he got a full ship he disposed of the cargo, sold the ship anl proceed d to Sydney, where he lived in quite a royal life till the money was spent. Then the longing came over him and he started for the Islands again. When the steamer in which he was a passenger called at Noumea the French police got word of his being on board and went to arrest him. but too late, as Martin li id got the tip and gone ashore. There he annexed a boat, took in supplies and made ior the New Hebrides alone, and arrived. The last days of the old p!rate were spent at Port Sandwich. He had a very pretty site for his house, and on either side he had a plantation of coffee, with some fields of corn and with fruit in p!enty. and there he reckoned lie would have a long spell if left to enjoy life without interruptions from the natives. Hut at last one of those swaggering blades who can found among South sea islanders, as well as whites, made public his intention of potting old Martin. So erne day Martin was entertaining some visitors to dinner when one of his servants came and whls.pered in his ear. Martin got up from the tabic, saying: "Excuse me. gentlemen, for a minute." and. picking up his rifle, he went outside. Suddenly a shot was heard and then a laugh. On going out the guests found old Pirate Martin standing with gun In hand, a dying native in his death struggle cn the ground and a chief in trouble bound fas. to a tree. It seems that Martin had got notice from a servant of the arrival of the chief, and bound him to a tree and threatened him with death if the man who had avowed his Intention of shooting Martin

was not produced. The victim was sent for. and. as Martin remarked: "Well, I had the first hot in."

PUGILIST UNCONSCIOUS. James Duffy Reported Hying in n ew York Hospital. NEW YORK. J.n. 3 James Duffy, of Koston. the featherweight pugilist who became unconscious in the arena of the liroidway Athletic Club Saturday night :t the finish of a ten-iound lout with George Justice, a pugilist of this city, is lying at the point of death in St. Vincent's Hospital. Il) is still unconscious and his death is momentarily expected. George Justice, who was Duffy's opponent in the ten-round bout in the Broadway Athletic Club last night. Tom O'Rourke. the manager of the club, and Dick Roche, who refereed the contest, were arraigned before Magistrate Flammer, in the Jefferson Market Court to-day. The men had been arrested after the contest Saturday night. Emanuel Friend appeared as counsel for the three men. He denied that Duffy's condition was the result of any violence on the part of his opponent. Lawyer Friend's argument was that Duffy's condition was the result of excitement and chagrin at losing the contest something which might happen to any man. Acting Captain Croo did not take that view of the case. Although Detective Drownell. one of the Groo staff, said he witnessed the contest and did not see a blow struck sufficient to injure an opponent, the captain made an affidavit that the prisoners were cemtributory to Duffy's injuries. He presented an affidavit from the hospital physicians saying that Duffy might die. Justus O'Rourke and Roche were held in $2.0" bail each by Magistrate Flammer. The bail was furnished by Martin Engel. WILL GO ON THE STAGE PRINCESS C1IIMAY TO SING NYIIILC THE GYPSY FIIM1LES. She I Sahl to llnte AeeepteI tin EnKaKriariit at a Huila-PeNtli Muaiu Hall Other Foreign News. REUSSELS. Jan. C Writing to a Brussels newspaper the Princess of ChimayCaraman. formerly Miss Clara Ward, of Detroit, protests against the press campaign of publicity and calumny in connection with her elopement with the Hungarian gypsy musician Janes! Rogos. The princess says: "American children are educated with a view to asserting their independence, anel when necessary brave the world's calumnies and prejudice. That, however, does not preserve the American girl from the possibility of falling into error. I drifted with the fashion-dictating function between nobility and wealth. Chicago heiresses are reproached with the pursuit of coronets. Surely this is letter than pursuing a dot. Having recognized my error and my heart having spoken, two courses were open to me, namely, adultery and hypocrisy or leaving the marital domicile." The princess then concludes: "I chose the latter, fully recognizing to what I exposed myself. The divorce law was not made for nothing, and my position will eventually be legalize-d at my marriage with Rigos, being only a eiuestion of time." A Vienna dispatch says: It Is stated that their finances will soon compel the Princess of Chimay-Caraman and the gypsy Rigos to abandon their luxurious mode of living. The princess has signed a contract to sir.g in a liuda-Pesth music hall, Rigos playing the violin in the orchestra. Socialist Defeated in French Election PARIS, Jan. C Elections were held today to replace one-third of the Senators whose terms are expiring. The Senators will hold office for three years. The Radical asul Socialist candidates and numerous extremists hoped to secure enough scats to change the character of the Senate and to prevent a recurrence of the constitutional struggle which occurred last April between the Senate and the bourgeois candidates. The platform called for the election of senators by universal suffrage. Their hopes wete, however, blighted by the results ot to-day's elections, all the Socialists having been beaten. Full returns show that sixty-four Republicans have been elected, twenty-one Rauicals and twelve reactionaries. The constitutional Ft niggle of last April grew out of a vote of ensure passed by the Senate on M. Ricard. minister of justice. The Chamber, however, voted a resolution of e-onfidence in the Ministry, which declined to resign, maintaining the constitutional prerogative of the Chamber te sustain the Ministry. Money Will He Searee. LONDON, Jan. 4. The financial article in the Times expresses the opinion that the feeling on the Stock Exchange that another period of cheap money and booming prices is coming is not justified. . "There may. perhaps, be short periods of cheapness." says the Times, "but unless there is some untorseen change in the whole situation money will tend to be comparatively scarce for the whole year." Not Rothschild' Coffee. LONDON. Jan. 4. The Brazilian treasury delegate writes to the Times with reference to the sale last Thursday at Hamburg of 3I.0K) bags of Brazilian coffee, which, it was leported. were believed to be a consignment of the Brazilian government to the Rothschilds, of Jondon. in lieu of b'Ms to pay the interest on the Brazilian debt. The treasury delegate writes that the Rothrchilds already had sufficient funds to pay for the coupons on the external debt. Cable Note.

There is much talk in Paris of tho impossibility of the French dock yards executing epdckly enough the new naval programme and the question whether ironclads shall be purchased in Englanel has excited a patriotic discussion. A Vienna dispatch to the London Times reports that Technicist writes to the Neue Freie Presse that there is no doubt that Austria-Hungary will have to follow France and Germany and spend from eighty to one hundred millions for quickfiring guns for the artillery service. It is reported from Warsaw that the doctors have decided that the Countess Helena Potocka. whose body was disinterred after her burial through a dread that she was merely in a state of catalepsy, is dead and no catalepsy existed.

ANDREW JACKSON'S DAY

APPROACH fF Tim AN X 1 VERSA 11 Y OF TIIK B ATT LI I OF SEW ORLEANS. It Wnn Fought After the Treaty of Pence Had Ileen SlKrned The Story of the Memorable Content. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. A day sacred to the memory of Andrew Jackson is the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. The day of late years has come to be more generally celebrated than heretofore, and now Jackson day banquets and demonstrations, especially by those of the Democrats who have formed themselves Into Jackson clubs, are of common occurrence. "Old Hickory" is a popular figure in the history of the country, and his strong character, indicative of the stirring times and scenes in which he lived and moved, is as worthy of commemoration as are his excellent qualities as soldier, patriot and statesman. Tho final battle of New Orleans was fought on the morning of Jan. s, 1S15, butwas led up to by a series of engagements with the British in the vicinity of the city. The battle was noteworthy in more than one re'spect. lt was the final engagement in the war of 1812 and was the last great battle in which the United States was called upon to cross swords with the mother country, lt fully demonstrated the greatness of the military genius of Gen. Jackson and the fact that the Britibh could never hoie to regain a foothold in this country while American patriotism was so superior to the discipline of paid regulars. The battle was also remarkable in that it was fought after the treaty of peace, which was supposed to have ended the war, had been signed. The treaty of Ghent had been signed some weeks before the battle, but such were the poor means for travel and the inadequate facilities for sending news in those days that General Jackson did not receive word that hostilities had been suspende-d until after the victory had been won. The terrible punishment inIlicteel upon the British regiments and the marvelously small loss sustained by the American troops also made the battle a memorable one. The latter feature can only le accounted lor by the remarkable care with which General Jackson had protected and disposed of I is troops. The second war with the English had been foufiht with varying fortunes on land and sea. and was rapidly drawing to a clese. At the outbreak of the war General Jackson, who was then living quietly at his home, the Hermitage, in Tennessee, promptly tendereel his services an.l those of 2.."'H men of his division of the Tennessee militia, to the national government, and the offer was promptly accepted. It was during the early campaigns of this period that his soldiers gave him the name of "Hickory." because of his toughness, and in time this was changed to "Old Hickory." When he was not engaged with the British during the war Jackson turned his attention to the Creek Indians to avenge the massacre of Fort Mimms. He gained a signal victory over them in March. 114, at their last stand on the Tallapoosa river, almost annihilating the tribe. This victory not only ended the Creek war. but the power of the India race in America forever. JACKSON AT NEW ORLEANS. Jackson had now acquired a national reputation, and his appointment as a major general in the United States army was officially announced. It was learned that the English were preparing a grand attack upon the Southwest, and to him was intrusteel the protection of that part of the Union. Late in the year he learned that the enemy was moving upon New Orleans with a large force, and he hasteneel to the threatened city. He had sent forward from Mobile his troops, and himself reached the destination on Dec. 2. Pdl. The city was then miserably defended, and had the English moved with ordinary rapidity it must have fallen into their hands. Jackson immediately prepared to meet the enemy. Twelve days after his arrival a pov.-erfid British naval force captured five American gunboats and a schooner, an.l took complete' possession of the route to New Orleans. The next day Jackson declared martial law. His troops consisted of Tennessee, Kentucky. Louisiana and Mississippi militia, a few regulars. Baratarian privatecrsmen, and a battalion of colored men. The vanguard of the British army, under General Keene. was landed on Dee. 10, and. two days before Christmas marched to within nine miles of the city. Jackson heard of it. and that afternoon assembled a motley force. 2.1.1 strong, marched out, and attacke-d the enemy. He was aided by Lieutenant Henley, In command of the schooner Carolina. A verv hot action was fought, with tho advantage to the American army. The enemy's advance was checked and the force might have been completely destroyed had not a large reinforcement arrived shortly after nigiufall. General Jackson, seeing that he could not cope with the enemy in his present position, fell back. to a canal four miles from the city, where he drew up his famous line against which the best soldiers of tho king's army hurle-d themselves In vain. Sir 12. Packenham. the British commander-in-chief, arrived on the scene on Christmas day. and that night the Carolina was destroyed by his batteries. Three days later he attacked Jackson's fmsition and was repulsed. On New Year's day the attack was repeated, this time practically with the artillery, and again tho enemy were signally beaten. That night the American force was increased by 2.2V) Kentucky militia, mostly unarmed, the arms that had been ordered from Pittsburg to New Orleans having failed to reach the latter place. During this period Jackson continually harassed the enemy by night attacks. THE BRITISH ATTACK. The British force, now numbering about 14.000 men. including seamen and marines, moved forward to the attack. Jackson's line on the left bank of the Mississippi was about a mile long, with twelve guns, and was defended by only o.2)0 men,. 80) more being distributed in positions near by. The position was a strong one, and the fire of the cannon, under the direction of Lieutenant, afterward General Armstrong, was perhaps the most effective work of the day. On the right bank were some American batteries, manne-d bv seamen and Kentucky militia. Colonel Thornton, with six hundred men. was sent against them on the night of Jan. 7, 1M.", but experienced such delays that he did iot engage with the Americans until the battle was woii on the other side of the river. On the following day. Jan. S. the British army moved against the American lineon the left bank. Safely intrenched behind earthworks and cotton bales. Jackson's troops poured a terrible tire into the British ranks. Tho energy were beaten back. Packenham was killed early In the engagement. (Jen. Glbbs took his place and shortly afterward fell mortally wounded. Kee ne was carried off the field badly disabled. The carnage among the British was terrible. The troops I e-have-el well, but thev were badly handled. The famous Ninetythird Highlanders, who had shown the'ir lighting qualities in various parts of the world, lost half their regiment in the assault. The assault was repeated several times, but with no better success, and the enemy was compelled to sullenly withdraw. in the meantime, on the right bank. Colonel Thornton had been successful through a mistaken order of one of Gen. Morgan's aids, but the British were too disheartened by the great loss Jackson had intli?teu upon them to follow their advantage. Gen. Iimlert. who had succeeded to the command cf the British army, proposed an armistice, and this Jackson agreed to if Thornton were wthdrav.n from the other side of the river. This was clone, and thus by diplomacy "Old Hickory" regained the only po!nt of advantage that had been lost during the day. The enemy's loss on the left bank was about J.fKo klled. wounded and prisoners: the American loss was 7 killed ar.d wounded. On the opnosite side of the river neither side suffered much. General Jackson sat before the enemy, watching them until, on Jan. 1. they recreated, abandoning their guns, and leaving their wounded to the care eif the Americans. It was England's last Mow at the American government, and it was rendered futile and Ineffective by General Jackson's military skill and courage. He became a national hero, and twelve years later a grateful people, thankful for his great services, elevated him to the highest position In the land. The fedlowing Is an extract from a letter written by General Jackson to James Monroe, and is published in the January Ceniry. describing the attack of the Britl.-h during the battle: There was a very heavy fog on the river that morning, and the British had formed nnd were moving before I knew it. The disposition of the riflemen was very sim

ple. They were told off in Nos. 1 and 2. No. 1 was to fire first, then step back and let No. 2 shoot while he reloaded. About yards from the riflemen there was a great drainage canal running back from the Mississippi river to the swamp In the rear of the tilled land on which we were operating. Along this canal the British formed, under the fire of the few artillery pieces I had near enough to them to get their range. But the instant I saw them I said to Coffee, whom I directed to hurry to his line, which was to be first attacked: "By . we have got them: they are ours:" Coffee dashed forward, and. riding along the line, called out: "Don't shoot until you can see their belt buckles." A DECISIVE REPULSE. The British, thus formed, moved on at a quick step, without firing a shot, to within 100 yards of the kneeling riflemen, who were holding their fire until they could see the belt buckles of their enemies. The British advance were executed as though they had been on parade. They marched shoulder to shoulder, with the step of veterans, as they were. At 100 yard3 distance from our line the order was given: "Extend column front! Double-quick march! Charge!" With bayonets at the charge, they came on us at a run. I own it was an anxious moment; I well knew the charging column was made up of the nicked troons of the British army. They

had been trained by the duke himself, ' were commande-d by his brother-in-law. and had successfully held off the ablest of Napoleon's marshals in the Spanish campaign. My riflemen had never seen such an attack, nor had they ever before fought white men. The morning, too, was damp, their powder might not burn well. "Ged help us!" I muttered, watching the rapidly advancing lie. Seventy, sixty, fifty, finally forty yards were they from the silent kneeling riflemen. All of my men 1 could see was their long rifles rested on the logs before them. They obeyed their orders well. Not a shot was fired until the redcoats were within forty yards. 1 heard Ceffee's voice as he roared out. "Now men, aim for the center of the cross belts. Fire!" A second after the order a cracking, olazing flash ran all along the line. The smoke hung so heavily it; the misty morning air that I could not see what happened. I called Tom Overton and Abner Duncan, of my staff, and we galloped towards Coffee's line. In a few seconds after the first fire there came another sharp, ringing volley. As 1 came within l.V) yards of Coffee the smoke lifte-d enough for me to make out what was happening. The British were falling back in a confused, disorderly mass, and the entire first ranks of their column were blown away. For two hundre-d yards in our front the ground was covered with a mass of writhing wounded, dead and dying redcoats. By the time the rifles were wiped the British line was reformed, and on it came again. This time they were led by General Pakenham in person, gallantly mounted, and riding as though he were em parade. Just before he got within range ef Coffee's line I heard a single rifle shot from a group of country carts we had been using, about 175 yards distant, and a moment thereafter I saw Pakenham reel and pitch out of his saddle. I have always believed he fell from a bullet of a free man of color who was a famous rifle shot, and came from the Attakapas region of Louisiana. The second advance was precisely like the first In Its ending. In live volleys the l.aOt) or more riilemen killeel and wounded 2.117 British soldiers, two-thirds of them killeel dead or mortally wounded. I did not know where General Pakenham was lying, or I should have sent to him, or gone in person, to offer any service in my power to render. I was told he lived two hours after he was hit. His wound was directly through the liver and bowels. General Keene. I heard, was killed dead. They sent a flag to me asking leave to gather up their woundeel and bury their dead, which, of course. I granted. I was told by a wounded officer that the rank and file absolutely refused to make a third charge. "We have no chance with such shooting as these Americans do," they said. A STOI T LITTLE FIGHTER, Whose lighting I)lpnltlon Often Get II I in Into Trouble. Philadelphia Telegraph. The reel bird when it has got down hard to home-making, develops a remarkable tendency to fight. At all other times of the year he is as docile and gentle as any in the woods indeed, rather inclined to take a great deal from other birds: but as Foon as the nest is completed and Mrs. Redbird is installed queen theieof he gets on his war paint and will fight anything that comes along. It is by taking advantage of the bravery of the redbird In defending the home that the hunter is enabled to snare It. The trap used i3 a wire cage. Within this cage is a tame bird, one which has been in captivity a ye-ar or two and sings freely. The hunter wanders into the woods and slowly makes his way through the swamps until he reaches a dense portion, when he halts. Pretty soon the bird in the cage, delighted, doubtless, at being again In its native woods, even if bars stand between it and liberty, begins singing with all its might. If there is a redbird within the sound of the caller's voice it hastens to investigate. One of the peculiar habits of the redbird. hunters say. is that there seems by common consent to be a division of the woods among them, each bird having appropriated to his especial jurisdiction a certain allotment of woeds. Sometimes other birds, either by mistake or for the purpose of acquiring more territory, invade the elomain of another, whereupon there is a tierce light, which is called off when one or the other of the birds conquers, in which case the victor becemes the possessor of the territory of the two. together with the defeated bird's mate, who, it seems, is no longer willing to share fortunes with her former lord after he has proven himself a poor fighter. The hunter has on one side of his cage a light net. bound about by a light frame, and to the center of a light Iron roet stretched perpendicular across this frame is attached in swinging iosition a short, rounded stick, about six inches in length. This gate of netting Is opened and kept in that position by the wooden trigger, which is braced against another similar trigger attache-d to the sides of the cage wherein is the call bird. This connection of the two triggers is very delicate, and the slightest touch will suffice to throw it, whereupon the netting frame door is quickly closed by a spring against the sides of the cage. This is what holds the redbird captive. As soon as the hunter has set the trigger of his cage he hangs it to a limb somewhere or places it on the ground and goes away some distance to await results. The imprisoned redbird soon begins to sing, and presently, if there is a redbird anywhere within hearing distance, there is a flutter of wings, a series of sharp cries, and before the hunter can say "Scat!" the wild redbird flies headlong at his supposed e nemy in the cage, throws the trigger and is captured. It takes very little longer to capture a reelhirel at this time of the year than It does to catch a fish. If once the caged bird is placed in the right spot within the territory of the other redbird and he hears its singing, the rest Is very easy, for. regardless of all personal safety and everything else, he rushes madly to the fight. Ilefriendeel by the Enemy. Youth's Companion. One of the stories of the Crimean war told by the novelist Turgenieff. and well authenticated by existing letters, is peculiarly touching. Sergius Ivanovitch. a young Russian lieutenant, was one of an attacking party which was ordered oat cn a cold night to drive a body of French from a position in front of the Russian lines. In order to be as free as possible in his movements, the young lieutenant left his military cloak behind. The French were found well posted in the edge of a wood. A desperate fight followed, at the end of which the Russians were compelled to withdraw, leaving their dead and wounded behind them. Among the grievously wounded was Sergius Ivanovitch. and all about him were French wounded. Sergius suffered worse even from the cold than he did from h's wound; and. though a bullet had penetrated his leg. he was sure that the exposure of the night, rather than the wound, would be the end of him. Groaning and shivering, he was about to examine as best he could the wound in his leg. when some one paid In French: "You had b-.t let your wound alone. Suffer, and disturb it as little as possible." The Russian found that the man who had spoken was a veteran French captain, who. even worse wounded than himself, lay close by. "No doubt yen are right." said Sergius, "but I shall perish of cold before morning, envway." Then the Frenchman reproved him for coming out In the snow without his cloak. "Experience has taught me." he said, "never to go out without my capots. But this time lt is not likely to save me. I am mortally wounded." "Oh. they will come ar.d get vou." "No. my dear enemy. It Is all up with me. The shot has gone deep I shall not !ast till help comes. Wrap yourself in- my clak and sleep. At your age one can sleep anywhere." Despite bis protests the young Russian felt the Frenchman's cloak laid upon him. Exhausted, he fell asleep under Its warming influence. Waking In the morning. h found the French captain dead at his side. Splitting: IlatrM. Buffalo Courier. The proverbial Philadelphia lawyer Igreen with envy.

THE BULLETS OF THE SKY

3ICTEOUS AMI HOW TIIC ATMOSPHERE SHIELDS tS FR03I TIIEJI. Thee Visitor Travel n Hundred Ttnie Faster than Illlle Frojeetllew of the Highest Velocity. Robert S. Ball, in St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Astronomy is generally concerned alout objects of huge dimensions. For though many of the celestial bodies may appear to us to be small on account of the vast distance by which we are separated from them, yet they are in many cases mighty felobes comparable with our earth in bulk. or more usually hundrc-els or even millions of times greater. There is. however, one class of objects strictly belonging to the province of astronomy which have no pretensions to consideration on the ground of their bulk. The objects of which 1 speak are. in fact, not as large as even the smallest of moons or the most telescopic of planets. They are not ewn as big as the mountains on the earth; the majority of them are, indeed, little pieces of matter no larger than the pebbh s on a garden walk. I dare say that many of them are not greater than the grains of sand on the seashore. We call them meteors. These little objects must, however, be regarded as bodies which come within the province or the astronomer, for they have an existence quite independent of our earth and move freely through space in so far at least as that part of their career is concerned which precedes the supreme occasion on which once for all they make their appearance to us. The most remarkable feature of the meteor is the speed at which it travels. Though olten not so large as a rifle bullet, a meteor urges its way at a pace far in excess of that which any rifle bullet has ever been driven, or we may Indeed say far in excess of that with which any rifle bullet ever could be drive n. The most improved rifles which human skill has yet turned out can impart a muzzle velocity to a proj.'ctile corresponding to a pace of about half a mile In a second of time. But there is a check to the speed of a ritie bullet arising from the fact that the missile in the course of its llight has to force its way through the atmosphere. The resistance wnich the bullet experiences from the friction of the atmosphere increases at a far more rapid rate than the increase of the velocity, lt is this resistance of the air which chiefly limits the range of artillery. The density of the air decreases with every increase in height above the earth s surface, until, at an altitude of a lew hundred miles, the atmosphere may. for all practical purposes, be said to be nonexistent. A bullet projected from a rifle which was at such an altitude would only experience a resistance much less than that which so speedily reduces the muzzle velocity of a missile fired at the earth's surface. On account of this atmospheric resistance it would be impossible for missiles down here to possess velocities exceeding a certain limit, but In the open space beyond the confines of our atmosphere velocities of any magnitude would be quite conceivable. THEIR GREAT SPEED. Accordingly we find that meteors arc generally animated with speeds far in excess of those possessed by any rifle bullet. For our present purpose there is no occasion to Inquire as to the manner In which such terrific velocities have been originally imparted. All that we have now to consider Is the fact that these little objects when moving in free space are certainly hurrying alcng with velocities ten times, twenty times, fifty times, or sometimes even one hundred times as swift as the swiftest rifle bullet that ever was tired. Let us think of a little meteor hurrying along through open space at a speed one hundred times greater than that of a rifle bullet. It need hardly be said that under such circumstances we? could not see the object. It is too remote from our earth. The most powerful telescope would not display such an insignificant body to us even if it were at rest, still less could we expect to see it when hurrying along with this bewildering rapidity. l or try to realize what the speed really is with which the little object is animated. We think that a railway train is making very good progress when it runs fifty miles an hour. Try then to imagine the speed of a train which would make the panic journey in a minute that the quickest express would recjuire an hour to accomplish. How vast indeed would this space be. But yet it falls far short of the speed of the meteor. We should have to suppose that the body moved as far, not in a minute, but in a second, as the express train does in an hour, before we should have an adequate Idea of the terrific pace at which one of these little objects dashes along. If a meteor were to lly around the equator while preserving all the time its characteristic speed, it would take no more than two or three minutes to cross each of the continents and each of the oceans which lie in its way, and. In fact, the whole journey round the globe would be accomplished within ten minutes. Animated by such speed a body would pass from Liverpool to New York in a minute, or it would travel all the way from the earth to the moon in an hour and a half. A meteor urging its course with this stupendous rapidity may pass near the earth, say at a distance of a thousand miles or so. It then pursues its way and entirely escapes our attention. No doubt the attraction of the great mass of the earth will, to a certain extent, pull the object, and compel it swerve from the direction it has been following, but provided it gets quite clear of the atmosphere which so completely invests the earth, the meteor will be uninjured, and will not lose its velocity. Doubtless every day, nay every hour and every minute, unseen meteors are passing by the earth, narrowly escaping a fall which would forever terminate their wanderings. Suppose, however, the direction of the motion of a meteor be such that it enters our earth's atmosphere. Immediately its terrilic motion is chocked. It might almost be said to Ik- checked with nearly the same emphasis as the speed of the ordinary rifle bullet would be checked If it were fired into a haystack. The sped which the meteor possesses lefore it has struck into our atmosphere cannot possiblv be maintained afterward. The resistance of the air will not permit it. But the efforts of the celestial wanderer to continue its astonishing movements after it has taken the plunge lead to consequences which, though fatal to the meteor, are of the highest interest. EFFECTS OF FRICTION. Every one knows that the friction of two bodies rubbing against each other is frequently accompanied by the production of heat. A neglected axle box In a carriage in rapid motion has occasionally been known to set a railway train on fire. In this case tho axle, from not being properly supplied with grease, has become hot from friction, and as the friction still continued the heat gradually rose until a temperature sufficient to produce ignition had been generated. As the flying meteor dashes through the air. the air rub? on the surface of the little missile. It can Ik? shown by experiment that the friction of the air against a body hurrying through it produces heat, lt is true that we are not actually able to try this experiment with a body moving so quickly as a meteor, but we can experiment up to a certain point. We can show that when a meteor dashes into our atmosphere the heat generated as it pierces its way through by friction will be sutHcient not alone to wirrn the object, but to make it red hot. an.l even white heat. Nay. further, the heat that can be produced by the friction of a cold body striking Into our cold atmosphere may become higher than that which Is generated in a blast furnace. It may be higher than the temperature In the fiamc of an oxyhydrcgen blowpipe. The effect upon the meteor Is cf a most astonishing description. Be the materials of this body what they may. whether they are such as will yi-!d easily to fire or whether they are the most intractable Iwidies which can be found. thy will be unable to withstand the Intensity cf the fervor produced by this atmospheric friction. The little object not only grov s rd and white hot. but it Is fus-d into a liquid. Nay. further, the abundance of the h-at l.t such that the liquid may b; toUed off Into vapor, so that within a very few seconds after the meteor has precipitated Itself 4nto the atmosphere Its dissolution is complete. It has perished as an individual object, and Its remains lie strewn In impalpable elust along a track ten. twenty, or fifty miles in length. Our only knowledge of the existence of the meie-cr is acquired during the very brief space while its annihilation is in progress. Before that time we could not see It. for It was teo small and too far away and moving too rapidly. After that time it could

hardly b known to us. for how could w gather up the dust into whlfi it had been converted a!org its track? But during tha supreme moment of its di.-soiutio'i it dev 1- . ops a streak of light so bright as to be apt te crtate an lmpre;jon altogether out of proi-ortion to the minuteness of the object to which the light owes its origin. Such is. in fact, the u-uaJ history of on of those "shooting1 stars" which every clear night may te to flash across the sky. It will be noted tint each sUv'h apparition marks the total transformation of the meteor. I use the word transformation indirectly, for. of course, it will be remembered that no such event as the also!ute destruction of a pftrticl of matter . ver takes place in i.ature. The meteor is no doubt comminuted into dust, th.it du-t slowly subsides to the ground through our air. so that this globe of oi.rs mur-t be actually growing in ledk by thrt spoils cf the untold meteors which it has captured. MILLIONS FALL DAILY. It must not be thought that because a single observer under ordinary circumstances sees only a few Vhooting arr- vix any particular night that therefore the number of these. objvts appropriated by the earth every twenty-four hours are not very numerous. It should in the first place le remembered that the canopy of sky visible to any particular observer contain only a very insignificant portion of the earth's atmosphere, while, of course, the entire atmosphre Is employed in the work of meteor catching. It must al lo rememlercil that the shooting stars which ordinarily attract attention are only the brighter numbers of a vast host of less conspicuous objects. For Just as there :ro ordinary stars in the sky too faint to be seen e?.ccjd with the telescope. ! there are innumerable faint shooting stars which are not sufficiently bright 1 be noticed with the nake-d eye, though perceptible with optical aid. Every obserer is familiar with th fact that in the courre of his night's work bright streaks of licht will occasionally flash across the field of view of the telescope. These are really telescopic shootingstars. Taking these objects Into account, it has been estimated that the numlx-r of shooting stars which daily plunge Into our atmosphere Is to be reckont-d by millions. if not indeed by scores of millions. Indeed, considering that this addition of external matter to our globe ha.-, been in progress for illimitable ages, it seems ejuite possible that a considerable portion ot our earU may actually have bcn derived from the daily raining down of these little celestial wanderers upon its surface. It is fortunate for us dwellers n the earth that we are screened by our atmosphere from theo bullets of the sky. For even though these objects be no larger than the pebbles on a gravel walk. yet. considering that they are animated with velocit'e b) times as great as that of a rifle bullet, it is obvious that they would render a residence on the eurtn highly dangerous. On the moon, for instance, where there is n protecting atmosphere to reduce th missiles to streaks of harmless vapor and thus serve as a screen, the blows tiven to tho plains and mountains must tf terrific. For it should le notc-d that the efficiency of a missile in delivering a blow i to Ik measured not merely by its velocity, but by the square of Its velocity. It follows that In comparing the destruction which could be wrought by a meteor with that effected by a rifle bullet of the same weight, we may say that the former must be l').o times as much as the latter, if we assume, as we have boon doing in this article, that the velocity of the celestial missile is PM times that which we can produce bv our rifles. This consideration ought to make us mr heartily appreciate the benefits we derlvo from the kindly screen which the atmosphere provides. Indeed, in one way It may be regarded as fortunate for our safety that these meteors do move m rapidly. If they entered our atmosphere with a spool no greater than that of a -rifle bullet, the heat developed would not be sufficient to dissipate them, and consequently they would reach the earth in a solid condition, and retaining the capacity for doing no little mischief. It is. in fact, tne very frenzy of these little objects which Is the source of our security. They are. so to speak, in such a terrible hurry to got at us that they beeomo dissolved into harmless vapor.

Smoking;. Harper's Round Table. Perhaps this Is a. dangerous subject for any one to touch upon, and yet there are a few things still to be said on the subject of smoking to which any respectable erson should be willing to listen. Many a young man does not understand whv his parents do not wlh him to smoke, still lss when he is told by these persons that it is wicked or immoral or wrong for him to smoke. As a matter of fact smoking in itself t neither wrong nor Immoral nor wicked. To som people It is physically injurious, but they soon find that out and are obliged by their doctors to give it up. If It Is not in any way injurious jo you. or to me. or to another person, there is no reason why we should not smoke, except that if you are, fond of out-door exercise, if you have an ambition to get on an athletic team. If you look forward to college days when you hope to be a member of some elas or 'varsity team, it is wiser for your own interest that you should not smoke. A habit of any kind Is n very difficult thing to give up. if you form a habit of taking a cold bath every morning It is hard to break it. If you form a habit of reading only the best books, it is almost impossible to read anything else. If you form a habit of drinking whisky it Is quite as difficult, but not much more so. to break it. In like manner the habit of smoking is difficult to break up. I do not believe it Is any easier to get into the habit of smoking than It Is to get into the habit of taking a cold bath every morning. Each Is a habit, and only becomes Injurious, and then c!o lecome injurious, when it grows stronger than your own will. Yet the cold bath mav not be healthy any more than is the smoking. Therefore if you have any ambition of any kind to keep yourself In physical condition do not smoke or do anything that wi:l Injure your physical condition. If. however, you decide to take up smoking for one reason or another, if it does not injure you physically the smoking itself may be perfectly right and proper. When, however, you grow to feel that at certain times in the day you must smoke, then the thing is bad and should be stopped at once. In other words, smoking is not an offense against the Bible, as Fome people seem to think, but it may be, and often Is. an offense against health. Whenever health Is endangered by it. therefore keep clear of it. 7 DTT 0l? f on your tea table served with the tea, will lend additional V charm to the afternoon call, b You can have 'npc" fragrant fruit cake always on hand, without trouble or expense, by using r. r r 11 1 MINCE MEAT.
