SUSS AND METEORS. ' IateiMtlnc Theories About Them Ex­ plained by a Well-Known Sclnntlat, Taking first the extension bf the evidence given by the sun to Ixkties no longer suns, says Prof. Proctor in Longman's Magazine, we see that what has been already suggested in other ways is confirmed by tlio evidence of the actual eruptive power possessed by the sun. We see that millions of years ago, when Jupiter and Saturn were active snns, they probably possessed the power of ejecting flights of bodies from their interior as the sun does now, and many millions of y&u-s ago, when our earth and her fellow terrestrial planets were sunlike bodies, they were similarly active (each in its degree). For it is, of course, obvious that though a body like Jupiter would have nothing like the sun's eruptive energy (in amount), such an orb would need noth­ ing like that energy to eject matter from its interior never to return. So with a globe like our earth. The sun must ejqpt a body with a velocity of 380 miles per second, that it may never return to him; and Jupiter would have to impart a velocity of about forty miles per second to * reject forever a mass erupted from his interior; but in the case of our earth a velocity of seven miles per second would suffice to carry ejected matter forever av:ay from her (apart, of course, from the chance of Subsequent, capture by accidental en­ counter with the parent orb, whose eourse the track of the ejected mass would always thereafter approach or intersect). Now, though no volcanic explosions which at present take place eject bodies from the earth with any­ thing like this velocity, yet remember­ ing the intense activity of an orb in the sunlikc stage as compared with the energies of the life-bearing stage, wo see that even apart from the evidence given by solar explosions, and from the subsidiary evidence given by the meteoric paths, we might safely infer that the volcanic outbursts taking place during our earth's sunlike stage were probably quite sufficiently intense to eject matter forever from her interior. If such an explosion as that of the Krakatoa can take place now, outbursts of the mightier sort necessary for meteor ejection may well have occurred when the earth was a small sun. We have similar actual evidence even in the case of the giant planets; for, whatever theory may lie formed of the great red spot on Jttpiter, the?e can l>e no doubt that a disturbance attesting an area nearly as large as the whole surface of the earth, and lasting seven years in full activity, implies most tremendous energies when Jupiter was in the sun- like stage of his career. American Girls and Men. We have in America the remarkable Chivalry of our men, a character" un­ known and unrecognized in Europe, which, as always extended from the stronger to the weaker, of course in­ cludes a profound respect for women. This is the beginning of the best eti­ quette. Women all over America are protected, respected, supported, and petted. There is no such paradise for ° women. In Paris, the headquarters of elegance, the rottenness of an old civili­ zation has undermined this loy­ alty to the ideal women. In London there is a brutality and coarseness de­ scending heavily on woman of a lower grade, and which, by atmospheric pres­ sure. has readied the higher classes, and now affects women of every status in society, so that it is unpleasant for a woman to walk London streets alone, and impossible for her to do so at night, even w ith a gentleman escort, after the theaters are closed. The re is absolutely no propriety or safety in Koine for a young girl who walks alone even lit mid-day. Every Italian feels privileged to s]>eak to her. It is so universally the custom of the country that a well-behaved young lady should have a chaperon that an Ameri­ can unmarried woman of even 40 yefirs takes a friend with her when she u alks out in Rome. * ' It is to l>e feared that American wo­ men have, as a class, disregarded' this etiquette in Europe too much, and that at home (as we are now a liati >11 of foreigners) they still disregard appear­ ances. There is also no doubt that the American girl is a spoiled child. She forgets to be polite, to be deferential; she disregards such well-meant inten­ tions in railwav cars and iu society, while on the other hand she is apt to be, for appearance's sake, too much ab­ sorbed in the man of her choice. Cer­ tain women think that they establish in­ dependence by abolishing good man­ ners, and by ignoring refinement, gen­ tleness and elegance. But this is a great mistake. It is women who pre­ serve the order aed decency of society: without her, men soon relapse into the savage estate, and the comfort and grace of home are exchanged for the rude discomfort of the mining camp.--Har- 2/erV Bazar. Silver Spoons. Probably there is no article of table, or of other household use, in the pro­ duction of which so little of machine work is employed. Almost all the work on solid silverjqnjons is hand work; the exceptions are'the rolling of the ingot into plates, and the production of spoons with ornamentations' in relief, wliich is produced by recessed patterns on the rolls. The material for spoons is coin silver obtained from the Gov­ ernment mints in ingots, or from trade for old silver, or from the use of current coin. This is melted over a charcoal fire in plumbago crucibles to a certain heat, known to the adept by the appear­ ance of the surface of the molten metal; it is poured into cast-iron moulds, form­ ing bars of about seventy ounces each. The bars are heated over a forge fire of charcoal and worked on the anvil by hammer and sledge, precisely as iron or steel is worked, or are rolled into plates or ribl>on*. Occasional anneal­ ings are necessary to prevent cracking. The ribbon for the ordinary teaspoon is four and a half inches long by three- eighths of an inch wide. When rolled • a blank of two and a quarter inches is lengthened to four and a half inches, to thin it down to spoon thickness. Be­ fore rolling or hammering, silver is Tery nearly as soft as lead; but with these mechanical processes it can be made hard and rigid. Good springs can be made of silver hammered or rolled. To form the bowl of the tea- spoou, the bar, of three-eighths of an inch wide and less than three-thirty- seconds of an inch thick, is hammered fiat on an anvil with a crowning face until the workman has spread it into an oval, which is much thinner in the middle than at the edjjes, as the edges are to receive the bulk «?f the wear. The handles are formed also by the hammer. The curvature of the bowl is produced by repeated "coaxing" blows bv a steel punch and a die of cast composition of lead and tin. No file-dressing is employed on the faces of 4P*on v oidjjf Hie edges ,-ni file- dressed to form. From the anvil and the die thf> spoons come to hand- smnotliing with Scotch -gray-stones and polishing by stiff brushes charged with ."grits" and oil. Burnishing is the finish" of spoons as of all bright silver goods. Old-Time Negro Dame: the Gathering. "It was a weird one. The negro,of colonial Louisiana was a most grotesque figure. He was nearly naked. ' Often his neck and arms, thighs, shanks, and splay feet were shrunken, tough, sinewy like a monkey's. Soinetimes it was scant diet and cruel labor that had made them so. Even the requirement of law was only that he should have not less than a barrel of corn--nothing else,--a month, nor get more than thirty lashes to the twenty-four hours. The whole world was crueler those times than now; we mnst not judge them by our own. "Often the slave's attire was only a cotton qliirt, or a pair of pantaloons hanging in indecent tatters to his naked waist. The bond-woman was well clad who had on as much as a course chemise and petticoat. To mid a tig non--a Madras handkerchief twisted into a turban--was high gentility, and the number of kerchiefs l>eyond that one was the measure of absolute wealth. Some were rich in iiguomc, especially those who served within the house, and pleased the mistress, or even the master--there were Hagars in those days. However, Congo Plains did not gather the house servants so much as the 'field-hands.' "These same iu troops. See them; wilder than gypsies; wilder than the Moors and Arabs whose strong blood and features one sees at a glance i* so many of them: gangs--as they were called--gangs and gangs of them, from this and that and yonder direction, tall, well-knit Senegalese from Cape Verde, black as ebony, with intelligent, kindly eyes and long, straight, shapely noses; Mandingoes, from the Gambia River, lighter of color, of cruder form, and a cunning that shows in the counte­ nance ; whose enslavement seems specially a shame, their nation 'the merchants of Africa,' dwelling in towns, industrious, thrifty, skilled in com­ merce and husbandry, and expert in the working of metals, even to silver and gold; and Fonlahs, playfully mis­ called 'Poulards,' --fat chickens,--of goodftf stature, and with a perceptible rose tint in the cheeks; and Sosos, famous warriors, dexterous with the African targe; tand in contrast to these, with small ears, thick eyebrows, bright eyes, flat, upturned noses, shining skin, wide mouths and white teeth, the ne­ groes of Guinea, true and unmixed, from the Gold Coast, the Slave Coast, and the Cape of Palms--not from the Grain Coast; the English had that trade.

Popoes, Cotocolies, Fidas, Socoes, Agwas, short, copper-colored Mines--what havoc the slavers did make!--and from interior XEDHANICAU A m-trrscH chpmitt has brought for­ ward a new method of manufacturing gunpowder. The requisite quantity of sulphur is dissolved in sulphide of car­ bon, and thia solutioh is then mixed with the carbon, which, instead of char­ coal, as in other modes of powder-mak­ ing, is cotton or some other cellulose fibre, which is reduced to an impalpa­ ble powder. To this mixture is finally added the proper quantity of a saturated solution of saltpetre. The compound is now evaiK>rated and the crystallization broken up, or it is evaporated in a vac­ uum. A very perfect incorporation of the several substances is thus secured. A VAix.YBLE crystalline coating for wood or paper may be obtained, it is stated, by mixing a very concentrated cold solution of salt with dextrine, and laying the thinnest coating of the fluid tin the surface to be covered by means of a broad, soft brush. After drying, the surface has a besfhtifitl, bright, mqther-of pearl coating, which, in con­ sequence of the dextrine, adheres firmly to paper and wood. The coating may be made adhesive to glass by doing it over with an alcoholic shellac solution. Sul­ phate of magnesia, acetate of soda, and sulphate of tin are among the salts | which produce the most attractive crys­ talline coatings. Paper nnist first be I sized, otherwise it will absorb the | liquid and prevent the formation of erys- j tals. c j THE American Linen Company has a | new device for piekijug cotton waste.

Into these shafts are j sunk beater arms, placed from one and ! a half to two inches apart. The waste I is fed into a small trumpet of the cvlin- i der, and is thoroughly picked to pieces | by the beaters of liotli shafts. A one- j and-a-half inch belt produces *2.000 revo­ lutions per minute. By the old method of hand picking a woman could pick but twelve pounds of waste per day, worth 48 cents in labor. With a ma­ chine 500 pounds can l»e picked in a day. and a boy can attend to it for *50 or 40 cents.

Cable hi The Century. A Wisp Decision., Several "years ago, while the people of West Tennessee were alarmed at the approach of yellow fever, Judge F. con­ vened court at Bolivar. Court had been but a few davs in session when th.' re­ ports from Memphis caused additional excitement. There were many wit­ nesses attendant IIJMNI court, and. very naturally, they importuned the judge to permit them to go home. The business part, of the community, willing to rnn any risk for the sake of trade, declared that the scare was unnecessary, and that the disease was not yellow fever. A number of physicians with, it soon app»a ed, more learning than judg­ ment, repaired to the court room and assured the judge that no danger of an epidemic was to be apprehended. "The disease," said one of the medi­ cal gentlemen,/'is not yellow fever but is zipuporastory. "You are wrong, doctor,"said another physician, "for investigation proves it to be posurentiscait." "No," said another doctor, "yon are both wrong. I admit that it is not yel­ low fever and that it can never become an epidemic, but is nothing more or less than an exaggerated type of costiuetor- Then there arose a heated discussion in which the judge was unable to take a part. He waited patiently until the discussion cooled down, then turning to the doctors, said: "I have been much entertained and greatly instructed by the discussion which you gentlemen have so ably con­ ducted" I do not pretend to say what the disease is, for I am not versed in snch sciences. It may be acute jeliossi- pliat, exaggerated jwdlywog, inflamma­ tory jim crow, or a mild type of epluri- bus untun. but there's one thing I do know.

Mallettc, of the Mallette & Ray­ mond Manufacturing Company, No. 3*29 South Canal street, Chicago, tells as fol­ lows how his wife was completely cured of neuralgia: * "Yes; she was sick off and on for a loiig time, but a half bottle of Athlophoros cped her so that she has not suffered any since. When it was first recommended to her slie would not get it, as she was always opposed to taking any kiud of patent medicine.. But as the treatmeut she was under gave her uo relief, I insisted on her trying Athlophoros. After using half a bottle the neuralgia was gone, and has not returned since. I told a gentleman at the .Walnut House, Green- castle, Ind., where I was stopping, to get a bottle, and if it did not cure the intense Buffering that he was enduring he could have the cost of the medicine added to my i hotel bill." "Well, did it cure him?" • "Yes; it cured him at once. I have rec­ ommended it to at least tifty different per­ sons. and in every case that I know about it has always given the same good results." James D. Gibbin. room li;l, No. 125 Dear­ born street, Chicago, 111., is enthusiastic in his praise of the medicine that has cured him of his rheumatism after he had tried in vain many different remedies as well as physicians. •*It was inflammatory rheumatism that had a firm hold on me," he says. "Many times it laid me aside from mv business, confining me to the house and many times to my bed. Medicine did me no good. It looked as if I was doomed to suffer on with­ out any relief." " How did von come to use Athlophoros, Mr. Gibbin?" "It was in this way. My occupation being that of a traveling man, I had the oppor­ tunity of coming iu contact with many rheumatic sufferer.-!, and consequently was recommended to use all the leading rem­ edies on the market, many of which I used with no benefit whatever. During my trips to Btaver Dam. Wis,, I became acquainted with a lady who was a confirmed invalid from rheumatism. She could not walk at the time I first met her, but was rolled around in an invalid chair. Whenever I went there we always compared notes on the rheumatic question. One da; last whiter I was astonished to find her walking nr t,Hfd and well from the rheumatism. I pon inquiry as to how she got w<?ll she said Athlophoros had done the work.
