Soliloquy on the llalf Shell. "What a difference it makes in just what light you view that 11!" Said a meditative oyster na ho lay out on the bar. "Now, to gourmets it conveys a gastronomical event, While to bivalves It suggests a slaughter of the innocent, For the season, filled to men with epicurean delights, Is tho same that hero in Mudvillo wo observe with funeral rites. Do men think that oyster culturo simply to their tastes pertain, And the height of our ambition is to supple ment champagne? During our progressive stages how degrading 'tis to feel That the destiny assigned ua is to furnish man u meal! My convictions in tho deep might bo more lu cidly explained Were it not in oyster nature to be mum and self contained, But every sorrow has its solace, and, testacean though I am, Thoire is comfort in tho knowledge that at loast I'm not a clam." Bertha Washburn Stino in New York Journal. Iler Iuterest In the Game. "I'm sorry the baseball season is over," she said thoughtfully. "Were you interested in tho game?" "Not. in the game itself, but I like to go with my husband and hear him cheer and cheer. It was tho only time I know that man to exhibit anything like a cheer ful disposition." Washington Star. SUN SPOTS AND SOCIETY. Solar Phenomena Said to lie Connected With Very Vital Matters. "What Is an Aurora?" is tho title of an articlj in tho October Century by Alexan der McAdie The writer says: On tho 1st day of January, 185)2, Dr. Brcndel and Ilerr Hnschen reached tho Alton fiord, Lapland, to remain several months, study ing auroral displays and magnetic disturb ances. Brendel succeeded in photograph ing tho aurora, a very dillicult thing to do, as all who have attempted it know. Tho deep reds, which aro so beautiful to tho eye, make littlo impression on tho photographer's plates, and tho light itself is generally feeble and flickering. Not unaptly have tho quivering auroral beams boon called "merry dancers. " Even tho bright displays aro hard to photograph, as wo may seo from an entry in General Greely's notebook on Jan. 21, 1882. "A mor.t beautiful aurora," ho says, "with intense light, at times sufficiently bright to cast my shadow on the snow. Rico ex posed a sensitive plato without effect, but the constantly changing position of the aurora may have been tho cause." But, some ono will say, photographing an aurora, whilo interesting from a scien tific standpoint, is not a very momentous matter to men or nations And wo mako hasto to answer that theso auroral dis plays are linked with phenomena which have a very practical interest Long bo fore the now well known relations of solar phenomena and terrestrial magnetism had been determined Sir William Ilerschel thought he could, from meager data, de tect evidence that the price of wheat was generally higher at times of few sun spots In later days we have Stanley Jevons tracing a connection between financial crises and sun spots and a host of writers tabulating tho allied phenomena of au roras, sun spots, magnetic disturbances and tracing in their periodicities a closo relation to famines, commercial crises and abnormal weather. What a wonderful achievement it would bo to foresee tho weal and woo of a docado I While such relations aro conjectural, thcro is littlo doubt that auroras and solar and magnetic disturbances are closely linked They do not como and go by chanco. Tho astrophysicist knows that theso phenomena will be very numerous in li)03 Ho knows that a similar condi tion will not again occur until 1915. the mean period being 11 years. MIRACLES ATGHEEL. Merciful Ways of Treating the Insane Practiced In tielgium. Gheel, a town of Belgium, is ono of tho ancient miracle places of tho Catholic church in Europe It has a shrino at which for centuries insane peoplo have been reputed to have been cured What ever may be the facts or tho superstitions in such cases, modern science has wrought what ono might claim to bo miracles thcro in tho treatment of nervous diseases, for when Belgium, always alert in social re forms, wished to make an experiment of caring for her insane poor by giving them tho freedom of tho open air and the fields she choso Gheel as tho place whero tho trial of tho new method should bo made. Here her department of charitable institu tions has reversed most of the methods of tho past in tho care of nervous patients by placing such invalids in small boarding houses in tho wide, open, sea cooled coun try and giving them their freedom under sympathetic supervision. The experiment of tho Belgian govern ment, at first held to bo perilous, has proved as successful as its purposo was beneficent; it is ono of tho merciful mir acles of modern science, whose influence seems destined to fill tho world. The streets of Gheel, worn for 1,000 years by tho footsteps of unhappy pilgrims, aro now visited by tho philanthropic investigators of all lands, who study tho most merciful ways of treating tho most pitiable of hu man afflictions. Tho town now is a stato hospital, some 80 miles in circumfcrenco, where tho patients aro treated in cottago boarding houses and whero wonderful cures are reported to have been wrought. Ilezekiah Butterworth in Harper's Maga zine For October THE WONDERS OF A WATCH. Few Persons Know How Great Its Mar velous Powers Are. A Boston jeweler who has a talent for advertising as well as a genius for mechanics has been reminding his pa trons lately that a watch is the small est, most delicato machine- that was ever constructed of tho same number of parts. About 175 different pieces of ma terial enter into its construction and upward of 2,400 separato operations aro comprised in its manufacture. Somo of tho facts connected with its performance aro simply incredible, when considered in total. A blacksmith strikes several thousand blows on his anvil in a day and is right glad when Sunday conies around, but tho roller jewel of a watch makes overy day and day after day 432,000 impacts against tho fork, or 157,G80,000 blows in a year without stop or rest or 3, J 53, GOO, 000 in tho short spaco of 20 years. Theso figuros aro beyond tho grasp of our feeblo intellects, but tho marvel does not stop hero. It has been estimat ed that tho power that moves, tho watch is equivalent to only four times tho forco used in a flea's jump ; consequent ly it might bo called a. four flea power. One horsepower would suffico to run 270,000,000 watches. Now tho balanco wheel of a watch is moved by this four flea power one and forty-three one-hundredths inches with each vibration 3,558 miles continu ously in ono year. If you would preserve the timekeep ing qualities of your watch, you should tako it to a competent watchmaker ouco every 18 months. Youth's Companion. Worth Appreciated. In his younger days the late Mr. W. H. Smith was usually present to seo the morning papers dispatched, and ono morning something at ono of tho offices had gone wrong, so that there was great risk of that paper missing tho trains. Mr. Smith, recognizing tho difficulty, threw off his coat, worked away as hard as any of his subordinates and had tho satisfaction of seeing the vans leavo with just time to catch tho trains. He was afterward leaning over ono of tho tables reading a paper, still in his shirt sleeves, when ono of the men, mistaking him for a mate, gavo him a resounding smack on his broad back, exclaiming: "Well, Jack, old man, wo got that lot away smartly." When "W. H." raised himself, the man rushed away, terrified by his blunder. On coming on duty at night tho man received a note addressed to him, which ho concluded contained the "sack," but to his surpirso it was to inform him that from the end of that week ho would bo a foreman. "W. II." had sense enough to see that a man who was to delighted at having accomplished a difficult task for his employers was luado of the right stuff. Pearson's Weekly. Motherly Solicitude. Miss Ante It's funny about our old cat. We can't keep her away from tho poker table. Mr. Age Nothing strange about that. Naturally she's looking after tho "kitty. "New York Tribune. Spain has 22,9GG elementary schools, but only 41 per cent of tho children ro ceive even tho rudiments of an educa tion. Tho teachers receive only $25 to $400 per year, and most of them aro un able to collect that. It is said that it costs $23.82 an acre to raise wheat in Massachusetts.
