In '186 the British Ait ociation issued sections of a map- 4hat,v if ompleted,wou44'- mooa-wun a diameter oi aimostt seventeen feet, but the work has not been carried f.tr. A sharp eye can mnke out; unaid ed, a few of the larger craters. A good opera-glas brings out scores of. them. So, too, .heii the morxiing sun of a lunar p'aylfaibj obllqXit-lyon the mountain-tops just inside the crescent," tho opera-glasa reveals tlilem as shining islands in a dark sea. With telescopes .ewn of mode rate power the detaila increase with surprising rapidity. Of, cgiucsc.ther.o are limitsi ad they are soon reached- but within them no heavenly body responds so well as the nioo'n to the searchiLg gaze of science.1 Even when the old moon is in the arms of the new, that is, when its sunless disc is faintly seen by the oarth-Iight reflected from it, tbe "telescope can pick out "the more conspicious ob jects. J j Hqw snrill arc the smallegt' object a telescope can aistiriguifch?s"lf s'O'mei lunar Boston should take fire, some lunar Vesuvius steam up, would the smoke and flames appreciably dis color that pearly disc? The natives of Teneriffe wanted to khowif Biaxza Smyth could see the goats up there, skipping from ledge to ledge. Suppose a power of a, thousand diameters, a power not often used with profit. It brings the moon, or a piece of it. to within 240 miles of tho ' observer. What of-it? Mt. Wash ington may be seen from the coast bf Maine clearly outlined against the horizon sky. It is only .ninety miles awaj-, but the distance isx great enough to dwarf out of sigttt the carriage road,; tho summit house's, everything but the bare profile; and would dwarf them out of sht, if, for ninety miles of light-absorbing air, we should substitute . the clear ness of that space that separates us from the moon. 'So in spite of the highest skill, a lunar plain may per sisVin looking smooth when it is as rough as the, sloped of Ilecla.

How many more there may bo buried in the shadows. f 3 lunar mornirig-or lost ;n the glory of a lunar noon, how many too small for the great-eyed telescope to catch," how many forever, hidden on the averted side' of the moon, is j . past conjecture. - . What caused them? ; Science says "Don't know," and then proceeds to answer. "Volcanoes," says 6ne; "the force thatjvould send a stone, a mileou the earth,-would hurl it sijc miles at the moon, for the resistance of gravity there is one-sixth of what it is rt itli us. This six-fold displace ment with equal causes wfll account for tho gigantic disturbances of the moon or, at !ca3', many of them.1' "Huge bodies," guesses another, fall ing on the moon in some old, plastic mood, finking into the- fiery mud and splashing up jagged walls'around the depression that hardened these. Such a meteoric hail storm might, at any .rate, explain some of the smaller craters." "The rough, blistered sur face of a moItOD mass in its last spas-" inodic buhbliDgs'saysa third.

Therefore we accept wth gratitude whatever helps us to sujpress those very twists and twinges. from his pleasant home, Green- mont, near S.ng Sing, N. Y., M. A. Baer, a French gentleman, writes.

Messrs, Hiscov & Co. call special attention to the fact that this prep aration, which has been known as Parker's Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be advertised and sold simply under the name of Parker'3 Tonic. As un principled dealers are constantly de ceiving their customers by substitu. tinsjirior preparations under tho ndifjS ginger, and as giiiger is rJ an unimportant ingredient, we dtfop tho misleading word. There is ho change, however, in the preparation itself, and all bottles remaining in the hands of dealers, wrapped under tho name of Parkers Ginger Tonic, contain the genuine madieine if the facsimile signature of Hiscox & Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper. - Day and Night in Sweden. The peculiarities of day and night in Sweden strikes the traveler very forcibly being accustomed to the tem perate zone. In June the sun goes down little before ten o'clock. There is a great illumination all night, as tha sun passes round tbe earth to wards tbe North pole ; and the refrac tion of its rays is such that you can sec to read at midnight without an artificial light. There is a mountain at the head of the Bothina, where on the "1st of June, the sun does not ap pear to go down at a'h The steam boat gces up from Stockholm for the purpose of conveying, those who are curious to witness the phenomenon. It occurs only one night. The sun reaches the horizon, you can see the whole face of it and in five minutes more it begins to rise. At the North Cepe, latitude seventy degrees, the sun docs not go down for several weeks. In June it would be about twenty five degrees above tho hori zon at midnight. In the winter' the sun disappears and is not seen for weeks, then it comes and remains for tenor fifteen minutes, after which it descends, and finally is no&6een at all, but makes a circle round the heaevns. The Sweeds are very indus trious, aud labor is reckoned by tho hour, twelve Lours being reckoned a day's work. Birds and animals take their accustomed rest at tho usual hour, whether the sun goes down or not.., . ; ,, No other medicine is so reliable as coughs, and all derangements, of the i&$$B&fji. bx&ct ' teddingf jtoward coiSnSipfiotir IriaUltrdinaTy asses it is VSartmnf; cure7 randf iC aitortls sureeiifrfor itiotbmatic and conr 8uiirptwff- vennn advaiics-stages I disease . -r . s U -,.

' A few days since- tbe Atlanta Con stitution sent one of its staff to R6mb, Gat to. investigate the strange won ders, alleged to bo performed by Miss fiurst. He reporta as follows : Thero fgs no deception in what she did for me. I watched her with my eagle eye. Her father and moth er and Mr. Ponder and myself were in the room at the time with the young lady. Mr. nurst laid an ordi nary. chair on the floor on its back. "Lula, put your hands on it," said ho. & The youmuy stooped down, put the tips oftvvo of her fingers to the back of the chair and immediately tho piece of furniture began to back around tho room at a lively rate, as slid along by somo unseen power. The chair was then stood up and Mr. Ponder and I were asked to hold it on the floor! Ponder took one side . and I took tho other. We put our whole force to work to keep it stilL Miss Hurst placed the palms of her hands on the back of the chair, and it was soon flying, around the room, overpowering bpth of ua creating a big stir and nearly knocking us down. " ' Miss Hurst then took the chair and placed both hands under the perfora ted bottom with - her palms upper, most. ' She tobkr ' no hold on it but simply let it reet as a servant might have carried a waiter of flowers. Tims the legs of theTchair were about three feet from the floor, and the seat about four and a half. Ponder and I attempted to put on the floor using all our miahand strength to do so, but the ci$Ur would not down. It continued to rise and fly'' around in the air wth. the newspaper men swinging at each side. .! .Mr.: Hurst,: a man weighing nearly two hundred pounds, then got up in the chair and sat there as f calmly as if he were a boy sitting on a ga$e post. Thus Miss Hurst supported the combined weight of the three. The total weight which she supported on. the palms of her hands was nearly 500 pounds, or much more than lbs weight of two barrels of flour. It was. indeed astonishing especially in view of the fact that not a muscle twitched and the slightest, flush did not mantle her' cheek. She was as calm and, unconcerned as if she had been twirling a summer hat by the string,r , , , i "Docs it not tiro y.ou," I asked. "Not at all," she replied. - "Do you feel : any peculiar sensa tions?". ; "None whatever. "Doesn't it strain you." "Indeed, iff it were a cane bottom chair you could not see tho slightest strain from the delicate canes." "Wbatdo you think of it?"' "I don't know anything about it." A SINGULAR TRICK. I took a heavy hickory walking stick and caught it near one end. Mr. J. Brown, of Chattanooga, caught besides me ; Mr. J. ' W". tlinton, of Social Circle, and Mr.'B. M. Cornell, of Goshen, Ind., took th other side. Each couple faced the other. We held on with both hands, pressed against eacn man s chest, To my left the end projected a foot. ' Miss Ilurst stepped up to it, raised both hands and touched the tips of her fingers to the end 'of the stick. In a moment it. moved to one side, then to the other, then up, then downacross, around, and the next instant, that young girl by simply touching the end of the stick andJceeping her hands there had four men flourishing fu riously around the room, and sever, al times I was ten inches off the floor. Five men caught a chair and held it to tbe floor. She put her hands on it, and as the men held it securely the chair was completely shattered in trying to get away ;from them. Another and stouter chair shared a like fate. A heavy bedstead was made to run across the room twice, simply by laying on her hands. I sat in a chair. She touched it and dumped me into the floor six . feet away. All these tricks were repeat ed several times, and fully convinced me that she posessed' some remarka ble power that. I leave to the edeix--tists to explain if they can, i Instead of feeling, tired and : worn out, instead of aches and pains, would not you rather feel fresh and strong?

Ilabbit tracks were qu't plentifu!, but thy prir.cipall led In the direction' of a large swamp, in which tho rabbits could run without difficulty, but where the hunter constantly broke through tho thin ice, sinking into tho half-frozen mire to his knees. Not withstanding these (iiffiouiries the writer had persevord, although a very snlall bag of game was the result. W hile tramping about through a par ticular malarial portion of the swamp a middle aged man suddenly came into view, carrying a muzzle loading shotgun, and completely loaned down ... . wilh game of the fine'st description'. Natural curiosity, aside from the in voluntary envy that instinctively J arose, prompted tho writer to enter into conversation with tho man, with the following result: ' ' You've had fine success, where did jou get all that Jgame?" ' "Right here in the swamp.' - 'Its preEty rough huuting in those pafts, especially when a man gees up to bis waist every other step." 4Ye6. it's not very pleasant, but I am used to it anl don't nu'nd il.

I found that'it did 'not go. Shortly iijfter this my joints began to ucho at toe knees and. I finally hecamo to. had that I had to remain in 'tho house all the time."1 "And did you trace ail this to tho fact that vou had hunted so much in this swamp?" "No I didn't know what to lay it to, but I. knew that I was in "misery. My joints swelled as though all the flosh. I had !of t was bunched at the joints ; rhy fingers " crook od iu every way and some of them became doub le-jointed. In '-fact, everj' joint in my -body seemed to' vie v,-ith tho oth ers to' soo which could become the latg'est and cause me .the greatest suffering. In this way several 3'jears passed on during which time I ' was pretty nearly helplas's. I became fco nervous and sensative that I wiould sit bolstered up in tho chair audi on!! to people that entered the room not to come near me or even touch my chair. While all this was going on I felt an awful burning beat and fe ver, with occasional chills all over my body, but etpeciall v along my back and through my shoulders. Then again, riiy . blood, seemed to be boiling and my brain to be on fire." "Didn't you try to prevent all this agonv?"' "Try, I should think I did try. I tried every doctor that camo w ith in my reach aad all of the proprie tary medicine I could hear of. I used washes and liniments chough to last me for all time, but the only ro lief received was by injections of mor: phine."
