J. Cul-bertson and Cornelia Culberson de fendant, abstract judgment. Feeding the "Crathurs." At a party given by a lady an "extra" maid was engaged to assist the regular servant in passing tea and cake. The "extra hand," to whom this duty was entirely new, became rather excited, and bustled to and fro with more energy than grace. When about to retire, after going the round of the room, she suddenly stopped, and pointing to a portion of the company in an adjoining apartment, innocently inquired of the regular housemaid, loudly enough for the whole company to hear: "Hev yeez fed them crathurs erer there yet?" circuit and as we are in the Frontenae circuit he will be our minister.

There Are Over Ii'h y-Six Tliouanl uf Tliem in the Various A veil lies. There are some things that the French do infinitely bitter than the English, and one of them is the embellishment of their capitol city.

No absolute reason exists why London should not lie as cheerful and beautiful as I'aris. The difference in climate is small, and it is not wholly to the advantage of the French metropolis. And if money be a consideration there is quite as much of that commodity in London as in Paris. Some statistics, however, which have just been published, throw an interesting ray of light on the cost of keeping Paris bright and attractive. It appears that thetitle of Yilie Lumiere is not as well earned as one might imagine, seeing that there are but j2M'M lanterns, more than half of which have hut one burner each.

The boulevards and avenues are orna mented with 80.41)0 trees, which is no mediocre feat to accomplish, considering the inhospitable nature of the soil. They are to a large extent plane trees, which have been found more suitable than most other kinds. There are. however, no few-er than 14,500 chestnut trees, whereas the number of elms is still greater by a hundred. Their maintenance costs, in round numbers, 13.000 a year.

There are 8.3W seats in the trees and squares, which cost the weary foot passenger nothing, and a very large number of supplementary chairs which can be had for a Dennv. London Teleeranli. Satisfied. "What have we stopped here so long for. conductor?" inquired one of the suburban passengers, indignant at the prospect of being late for dinner.

The Feat Is Knsy lOnouh as Per. formed by 'I hose ho Do ttie Trick. A great act tliut never fails to draw is the trick of standing between two horses and letting tin in pull in opposite directions while you hold ihcm. Xo, there isn't any trick of disposition of strength in it. If a man is t-trong enough to keep himself upright en hi feet he can hold the -strongest horses that ever were.

The two horses are harnessed, ami so brought on the stage. You star.tl in 1 lie center of the siagre and take a whiiHetrt-e in each hand. Off they go. ami you stand placid and calm, holding them as easily as if you ere a Hercules. The secret of the thing is that you wear a pair of long buckskin gauntlets, which have a hole in the palm of each.

Through these holts there protrude iron hooks which catch in the rings of the hitTletrees. and 'roni each hook there runs insideof the glove and up the sleeve and across your chest to the other gauntlet a small but immensely strong wire rope. So that you need to do is to stretch out your hands and arms and let the horses pull. They pull against each ol her. and you have no work to do except to keep your balance.

This act is excellent for advertisement in country towns. You can send out posters showing yourself in all kinds of postures, with two wild horses dragging away at you with blooo and steam puffing out of their nostrils. Oh, it's as easy as rolling off a log to be an actor, and the beauty of it is tha' you don't need to know how to act at all. Gal! and nerve, mv bov. is ail that you need for the cheap variety and the small road company, and you can make money on the side in the circus line by selling photographs of yourself with your autograph.

That advertises you and puts money into your pocket, too. The greatest thing to remember is to draw what- is coming to you each night. Xever wait till the end of the week. In these small companies the end of the week may never arrive. Wash-in Eton Post.

According to the kinetic theory of gasses. which is that generally received, the molecules of gases are continually flying about at great rates of speed, moving in straight lines until turned by collisions, which are more frequent the denser the gas. At the confines of the atmosphere of the earth or a planet, where there is nothing to-slop it, the molecule may Hy away and be lost. Thus the lighter gases are gradually removed the atmosphere, and the smaller the planet the fewer kinds of gas it is able to retain. The moon, the mass of which is mflch less than that of the earth, would retail' a gas of density 4'i, or there a bouts; but all Itss gists would escape rapidly.

From the piinet Mercury-water apor would at once escape, and it is probable that both nitrogen and oxygen would tscape more slowly. Argon and carbon dioxid might, lie permanent constituents of the atmosphere of Mercury. Venus, on the other hand, retains water vapor; but lighter gases would escape. It must be remembered that if the water were to escape from a planet in the state of vapor its place would be at once supplied by evaporation of plane tary gases, if there were any, and that in the long run all the water would, in the slate of gas or water, leave the planet. Indeed, Dr.

Stoney thinks it not unlikely that tie are slowly losing dur stock of water. This, however, need excite no alarm, and our water will probably outlast our coal many millions of years. For so few of the molecules of water comply with the required standard of velocity that the rate of loss is almost infini iesimally small. Dr. Stoney conjectures that water cannot remain on Mars; that all known gases would be imprisoned by Jupiter, and that Paturn, Uranus and epf-une may probably be able to retain all gases heavier than hydrogen.

As for the sun, its mass is so enormous relatively to that of the placets that, even at the exceedingly high temperature which its atmosphere possesses, it is impossible for any known gas to remove itself from the neighborhood of the luminary. Contemporary Review..
