The play is over, the curtain falls. —Bocheeter Post-Express. Shooting Stars. According to Camille Flammarion, a current authority, the shooting stars are small bodies, weighing at most a few pounds and consisting mainly of iron and carbon. They traverse space in swarms and also revolve around the sun in long elliptical courses, like the comets. When these little bodies enter the earth’s orbit, they are deflected toward the earth, and great numbers are seen in a single night. Their brightness is due to tho heat engendered by the energy of their motion. Their speed is enormous—viz, 42| kilometers a second, while the speed of the earth on its orbit is only 25 kilometers a second forward.

Consequently when a shower of them approaches the earth in the direction opposite to its course the initial speed is 72 kilometers a second. When they follow on its course, they gain 1<H kilometers a second on it, their mean rate of approach being 30 to 40 kilometers a second. The friction engenders a temperature of 3,000 degrees C.f subject to which they burst ihto flames. If under these conditions their substance is not vaporized, they pass through and beyond the upper strata of our atmosphere and pursue their proper course around the sun, but as a rule they are vaporized, in which case the vapor mingles with the atmosphere, to fall later as meteoric dust In this manner we come in contact annually with 146 milliards of shooting stars, which add considerably to the earth’s substance.—Brooklyn Eagle. A Story of Dr. Holmes. A physician, in The Medical and Surgical Journal, tells a story of Dr. Holmes. It was when a son had been bora to him, and while he was usually very prompt at the Harvard medical school he was missed one morning. Finally he entered the room hurriedly, glanced around with a smile and said,4 4 Gentlemen,I know I am late, but there is a little stranger at my house. ” And then, with an expression such as only Holmes’ face could assume, he continued, “Now, can any one of you tell me what well known business firm in Boston he is like?” There was no answer. “He is Little & Brown,” said the doctor, with a twinkle in his eye. I That was a good advertisement for Little & Brown, but it is probable that that pioneer of American humorists, John Phoenix, gave another Boston firm a better one. Entering a large store in that city one day, he said to one of the proprietors, “I think I would like to tuttle a little. ” “To tuttle! What do you mean by that?” “I don’t know, ” gravely repled the humorist, “but I read an invitation over the door,4 Call & Tuttle,* and thought I would like to know how to do it. ”

Her Choice. He would have gathered her in a warm embrace, but; she waved him back. “No, ” she said imperiously. , j “You crush my heart/’ he protested. “Better thy heart* ” she answered, “than my sleeves. ” The ouckoo rushed from the dock on the mantel and with a wild shriek directed attention to the fact that it was now 11:15.—Detroit Tribune. By Diocletian’s scale of prices, published by imperial edict in A. D. 303, a pint of Falernian wine cost 30 cents; Sorrento and Sabine the same. Common wine was 20 cents, and “oountry folks’ wine” was 8 cents. _•__.

I Madr $75 in a Week I have bought several plating machines bint (hey were either not large enough for some articles or they did not work easy, and I have never made much,money until I obtained the Practical Plating Dynamo. This fa the electric machine need in all the gold and silver plating factories, and does the work every time. No sooner did the people hear that I bad this electrical dynamo, than I had more spoons, knives, forks and jewelry thin I could plate in a month. The first week I cleared $31.50, and the second week I cleared $75, and I t hink by the first of January I will have a thousand dollars In ca*h and give my farm considerable attention too.
