THE END OF THE WORLD.
I
A VIVID SCIENTIFIC 1'ICTI'KE OK THE
viN.ucATA.srn.ornE.
The nebulae in Orion, Saturn, and the
moon are indeed suggestive of change
types, they may be called, of the first
stage, the middle and the last that matter
pases through in the long process of the
evolution of worlds.
And, of all changes that change has
most interest for us which affects our own
planet, the earth it has reached a later
stage than Saturn, though not so late a
stage as the moon; but only in long ages
and by minute elTeets will further changes
be noticed.
Aires hence it may be discovered that
there is some slight change in the earth's
ortit; or Mercury, yet nearer to the sun
than we, may be seen to pursue to a
smaller orbit than now, and the terrible
fact may come to man that we are draw
ing nearer to the sun. Time goes on,
and the tropics become too hot for ex
istence, and colder regions fiud a welcome
change to warmth.
Age by age goes by, and the end is
visibly no nearer; but the figures of as
tronomers only too surely tell their tale.
Now the tropics are an impassable
desert, and all the life on the globe con
gregates around the poles; Spain has lost
her vineyards, and the Alps their snow;
England is a burning disert, aud Green
land teems with the vegetation of the
tropics; in smaller and smaller circles the
inhabitants gather round the poles.
"But, to ijuoic the words of Mr. Keiyh
ley Milhr, l-the narrowed limits of the
inhabitable earth can no longer support
this vast increase of population, and
famine begins to mow dowu its victims
by millions.
"Now, indeed, the end of all life on
the earth draws on
apace
The heat and drouth becomes more and
more insupportable; rain ami dew fall no
linger. All springs of water fail, and
the rivers dwindle down to streamlets,
and trickle slowly over their stony beds,
and now scarcity of water is added to
scarcity of food. Those who escape fioiu
the famine pcrih by the drouth, and
those who escape from the drouth are re
served for a late more awful yet. For a
time the few remaining inhabitants are
partially screened from the overwhelm
ing power ef the sun by a dense canopy
of clouds formed by the evaporation of
every lake and sea.
' But soon the sun scorches up these
vapor banks, and dissipates them iuto
space as fast as they can form. Then
the iiery orb shines out in unutterable
splendor without tire lightest cloud wreath
to interpose between himself and hts vie-
tims. Then the last denizeus of the
worid are stricken down and consumed;
the last traces of organic life are blotted
from its surface." Longman' Magazine.
EASTERN CAROLINA
It is strange, passing strange, that so
little rs known rn the outside world, ot
the wonderful resources of Eastern North
Carolina. No other country offers "reat
er inducements to the capitalist seeking
investment for his money, or the indus
trious man of small means who wishes to
invest his little all, in a country that will
guarantee him the createst return. Rich
in a wonderful wealth of forest, rich in
vast fisheries, and better than all, its ag
ricultural interests the most profitable in
the world. Let the capitalist come and
see for himself and he will become quick
ly convinced that judicious investments
will bring It i tit in greater and surer re
turns than anywhere else he can invest his
money. Let the men of moderate means,
carefully examine into our resources and
he will surely be convinced that in no other
country can he cast his lot, where wealth
will more surely follow energy and indus
try. Nashville Arguit'int.

MISS WINNIE DAVIS.
ILL HEALTH (ilVEN AS THE CAUSE FOR
THE BROKEN ENUAGEMENT.
A special to tho Sun from Syracuse,
Y., pays: The engagement of Miss
Winnie Davis, the 'Daughter of the
Confederacy," to Mr. Wilkinson, of this
ity, which was announced less than six
mouths ago and which created so groat a
surprise in all parts of the country, has
been broken. Intimate friends here of
Miss Davis authorize this statement to
night. They assign as the cause the ill
health of the young lady. Miss Davis
has not been in good health for some
time aud she went abroad for the pur
pose of gaining her strength. Her trip
was beneficial, but did not restore her
fully to health. Her mother aud inti
mate friends fe'l that under these cir
cumstances it would be best that the cn-
ngement should be broken and this step
as reluctantly taken by Miss Davis.
On the other hand Mr. Wilkinson's
friends are of the opinion that the receut
reverses of his family, his moderate in
come and the still more recent burning
of the old homestead had some Weight iu
shaping Miss Winuie's decision.
Mr. Y llkinson has had nothing to say
even to his most intimate friends and
conducts himself admirably under the
somewhat trying ordeal. Ho refuses to
be interviewed on the subject and seems
much immersed in business. The state
ment is made in a local paper that some
time ago a prominent gentleman of this
city received a recprest from the south
tor lntonuatron concerning Mr. Wilkin

was particularly inquired into. This was
thought by some to be quite insignificant
at the time.
WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.
"What a woman can do," is well ex
inplitied by the career f Mrs Alice
loughton, who was at the Palmer House
yesterday. Mrs. Houghton is a tall, hand
some woman, with tho rapid brusque
manner of one who knows the business
methods of the big, booming west. She
ought to know them too, for those same
methods have made for Mrs. Houghton
over $250,000 in three years. She is
the real estate queen of Washington ter-
rrtory, and she handles property whose
value would take away the breath ot the
common real estate dealer, even in Chica-6-
"1 believe a woman can tio anything
she takes a fancy to." said Mrs. Hough
ton. "I started out with a lucky speeu
lation in real estate at Spokane Falls, by
which I made $10,000. I didn t put it
iiway in a safe deposit vault. 1 invested
it and made more. Then I hired an of
(ice and besan commission deals. I have
done a business since which has run up
occasionally to the amount of 8200,000 a
week. Real estate is still booming in
Spokane.
Mrs. Houghton is on her way to New
York now to confer wrth the president of
the JNortheru racitrc, by which she is
retained, on a matter of right of way
She does the biggest commission business
in Spokane Falls aud is wildly enthusias
tic about her home. What she said about
Carter Harrison; who doesn't like Spo
kane Falls, would make Mr. Harrison
feel badly. Chicago Tribune.
A HAPPY CHILDHOOD.
Dear mother, do not I beg of you, try
to make your little woman "lady-like
Nature wrll do that in spite ot you. Ot
course, you will teach her good manners,
as you do your sous; but do let her enjoy
her youth unconscious of what custom
has decreed "proper" for girls. Let her
develop a strong, healthy body to endure
the strains which must come upon rt hit
er. Don t add another "broken-down
woman to the world. Let her romp; en
;ourage her to climb; ht her for tramps
in the country wun irer nroiners; try not
let her suspect her hereditary bondage to
clothes. This is one of the hardest things
to accomplish, for public sentiment is all
against you; but do your best. Dress
her as strongly and plainly as she can bear
and not feel herself unpleasantly unlike
her mates; and then let her run and grow
and foriM that she is doomed to be band
ed, and swathed, and piuched and niadi
uncomfortable all the days of her lit
after her happy school years. Give he
a free careless, happy girlhood to loo
back upon, to keen in her mind as a sun
nv picture forever. Oliver Tlrorne Mil
