MYoTERIES OF VENUS. Little l[nuwn Ahunt thn lleamlfnl Plamet

""hlch Cmut:N Xt!IU lhe Etat'th. The most beautiful planet, anU one

t:.at comes neare'st to the earth and most resembles the earth In size, Is at the same time the most mysterious. Is Venus a Jiving world or a t:Iead one'l That Is to say, Is It In a condition to support Inhabitants, and Is It probabl6 that such Inhabitants are there, or, on tile other band, Is It unsuited for their presence and. barren of living formaT

'These questions astronom�ra at pre•· ent are unable to answer , but · their etrorts to answer them and the obser­vaUons that they have made of the mysterious planet possess an almost 1tartllng lntereat.

Flrst.Jet us brleOy recall what Venu1 Is .. ·It Is a slobe like our earth and of very nearly the aame magnitude, hav­Ing a diameter o f about 7,700 miles, while that of the earth Is a little more than 7,900 mlle1. So nearly of the ume lllze are the two planets that If we ·could view tbem · from an equal dis· tance we should be unable, without tbe aid of IDKtruments of measurement, to detect any dllrerence between them. Tlie substance ot Venus Is slightly IIKhter, bulk for bulk, than that wblr.b

·composes the earth, but the difference In tbls respect Is BO little that a1aln It would require spec1al examination to· dlstlniUiBh by wetgllt between a cubic foot of the soli of Venus and an equal amount of the soil of the earth. It follows that <in Venus the force of

·sravltatlon or the wejght or bodies does not greatly dllfer trom that on tho earth. It we could ·atop upon Ve· nus we should lind that we had part­ed with " few pounds or weight, but the difference would not be very no· tlcen blo, except perhaps on the race trnck.

But this planet, so like the earth In mnny respects, Is very different "from our globe in Its situation. The earth's distance from the sun Is 93,1100,000 miles : the distance of Venus from tho sun Is 67,000,000 miles. This differ· once becomes n matter of great :m­portnnce wllen we consider the effects which the sun produces upon the two plnnots. Hent nnd light, a� everybody knows, vnry intensely ns the sqURI'O of the tllstnnce. When we compare tho squm·o of the earth's distance from tho sun with tho square of Vo· nus' dtstunce, we lind thnt tho former Is about douhle the lattor. This means that Veuus, on tho nverngc, gets twico as much bent and light fa·om the sun ne tho earth gets.

nut, on tho other band, we know that nil forms of life depend for their existence upon the radlunt energy of the sun. On the enrth, when we p'ass from the arctic regions toward the ec)uator, we lind the number or living formR and the variety and Intensity of tho manltostatlons of life continual· Jy tncrenslnl!, until, In the equatorial zone, onrth, sou and air nre all cmwcl­ecl with nnlmate a111l growing things. The touch of tho sun ovm·ywhore pro­duces lite, nnd In tho absence of RUII• ll11ht Ia tlenth. It Is hut nntural to In· rer thn·t VonnR, linvtng twlr.o ns much imnHhlno nH tho oru·th, Hhonhl bo pro· JIOI'tinnntely mni'O ca·owllml with ani· m11l 11hcl vcgol.nblo lnhnhltnntR, nn1l t1111t the lnt.nnRity of lifo there should be COri'OHPilll!llllg)y J!rCI)ter, enrne

Th., Terrnl'll or a Relll llllaarrd.

A great deal has been Bald RDfl writ· ten about those blinding stormR that som etimes sweep with resistless fury the western ' prairies, but without the experience no one, however vivid his lmaglnatton , can .fully picture to ,him·. self such a storm, mueh Jess r ealize aU that a blizzard means.

The penetrating wind, roartns and howling, shifting quickly from one point to another, whirls the - sharp par· Uclea of snow Into the traveler'& eyes and nostrils, bllndlnl and smothertns. It often obacurea In a few momenta every vestl�re or track, renderlns trav· el dlllcult and danserouL

The ;rolna and foxes that roam tbe prairies, It far away from icrub or timber when a blizzard bursts upon . them, burrow at once Into the drlrtl and there abide till the storm Is over.

The srouse, or prairie chicken, IIYIDI

awlftly, preesea Ita winK• to Its sides and plunges head llrst Into ·tbe 1now arid there Is perfectly aafe.

The Indian of the plains If caught away from his tet�ee (tent) 1crapes away the snow with his foot and wraps his blanket closely about him, creeps Into the hole he bas made and 11 quickly drifted over.

But the white man caught out on the pra'lrle often becomes utterly be· wltdered, wanders around until com­pletely exbnusted, sinks down and per­Ishes with the cold.

QUEER ADVERTISEMENTS

A. Western farmer advertises for 1 woman to "wash, Iron and milk two c�ws." '·•

An. advertisement once appeared In a Washington paper for "a room for a young man 10 by 12 •.

'l'bls Is supplemented by the truth· ful·.but�d•scouraglng · advertisement of a dentist : ."'feetb extracted with great pains."

·

"No person," wrote an lmat;lnatln undertaker, "ever having tried one of 'these alr-tlsht ·collns .of ours· will ever use any other;"' says an exchange.

This Is an advertisement from the columns or nn English court journal: "Blankets! · ·)IJankets! -Blankets! lo'or domestic ant1• charitable pil'rposea of every description, quality,

' size and weight."

'fhe following advertisement Is from an Australian pap�r: "Wanted, a young woman (the plainer the !Jetter), to help a small, genteel family In their domestic matters! one witilout ring,. lets preferred." · ·

An American paper . published lr. Paris recently contained the following unlqtie ndvin·tiRement:. "A young mar: of agreeable presence, and desirous cii gelling murrled. would like to· make the acquaintance of an aged nnd ex­perienced gentleman who · could. dis· suade him from taking the fatal· step."

· Here is a s)ieclmen of domestic ad­vertising from the columns of the Lon­don Times: "Mrs. George Anhton, 6 · VIctoria street, 'Vestminster, ,tnl<es this opportunity· of thanking her nu·. merous friends for their .. md letters 'of sympathy on the dissolution · of her marriage."··

An American in London asks a question: "I wish _you would tell we what Is gone with the frolicsome DU· rnor I brought here from my native land. You are real white men In this city, hut you are powerful sad, and that tells 011 the stmnger · till lui feels 'be might ns well be nn owl' Out ut Col­JJI'Iif.)o Sill'lngs I was the most buoy­ant man In the country. Here I don't buoy worth n cent. lily friends called n1e Lnughlng Willie. I've got no more laugh In we iww than 11 mummy . . 'l'he �rst stroke of bush1ess I did hero I was 3� pleased with I� tbat I wanted to tell the other man the story or'- the tin-roofed cock-tall.' You should have seen his lace. He sald 'he didn't listen to stm·les In bushicss .hours. I wont to a club, a regular palaeo, n mngnlftcent hall, lull of bustb, and I said, "I must toll somebody . that story or die." 'l'hero wali. lin old gentleman on a set- · teo, and I said, 'Have you ever 'heard

'You are, old man,' I said, •you bet ev­ery dollar on It,' And I had . just start· ed a real · uve laugh · when he spoiled everything wltb, 'Then you mustn't talk about drliaks In this hall.'

Dot my correspondent'll grievance 11 real enough. There Is a kilt-joy sol· emnlt)· In our floe Island decorum. We cannot even discuss holiday recrea­tions without an awful •ense o! , re­IP�Dslt;lllty.-Illustrated London Newe.

It lltul .Jn11t llnJ•pened. The other night-or, rather, It was

very early In the morning-the tele­phono in n certain newspaper . omce rang loud and long. Most of the work­ers bad gone h('me lor the forty winks that newspu��r people contrive to put In between times, but there was one wan on the "dog watch"-that Is, you know, he was the one person detaUed to stay around the otnce nnd bo ready for anything from a murder_ to a fire. At that hour of the day-about, well, somewheJ·a around 3 A. I\1.-when a telephone In a newsp•per ofltce rings It' generally means a pollee story that Is wort h · look In�: up, so the "dog watch" hatltened to answer the sum­mons.

"Hollo! " said a voice: "Is It too late to get something Into tc-morrow warn-Ing's paper?" ·

"Not II it's important," was the re• ply.

"Ob, It Is," a•surlngl:y, The reporter rushed for n , pad of

paper and a pencil, screwed his ear UJ! to the telephone again and said:- -"All rl�:ht: lire awny, there!" Then the voice wns beard isalu;

tremulous . with flmotlon : "Tbe eng�ement of Miss -- te

the presa flnd of the line. and the rulflll of the telephone company reatralnlntr Irate persons · from lndulgln& In pro­faulty were smashed Into emlthereenL

"But 1 couldn't," Bald tbfl volee, apolorretlcally. "You see, It ju11t hall­pened."-MIIwaukee Sentinel.

(John Blackwood was a lie· volee and attained to bolng captain ot the St. Andrew'• club), what would he not do next? Ho usod to make dar­Ing assaults upon the most cherished articles or the Dlackwoo•l faith.

0DIInd, unswerving devotion to tho sovereign was one of his favorite points of attack. "Now, Blacli.wootl, bow could the death of the soverPi�n possibly 111fcct you?" he woulj say. "II you heurd of It to-mort·ovr morn-­Ing, you Jmow pel•faclly well you would cal just as good a broai<fnst·­:you would not even dony yout·�olf tltat second l<ldncy," It was In vnln to pro­teet that In the face o! such a calam­Ity the vct'Y thout.Iht of broiled kidneys would be lltutasteful.

Tlui next morning there was quite a respectable crowd gathered on the

,quarterdeck o! the City of Du blln. '"According to tho dictates of their

religion," said Captain Rno to 11 Times reporter, "they are about to celebrate their arrival In port by n ceremony which Is probably tho most remark· able you have ever hear<!. of.''

The crew assembled forward. A circle was formed, tn· the centre of which appeared a weird figure. He was the priest. a character whose ab­sence has never yet been noticed from a gathering o! these singular people.

"They brought him all the way over at their own expense." said Captain Rae, "and he bns bud an easy berth. Unless 1 am In error he will now play the part or a butcher ...

A dramatic scene was then enacte<!. The blentlng of a sheep was heard, and two swarthy Lascars broke Into the · circle, where etood the priest, drugging after them the terrified ani­mal. At the same moment tbe crew broke into a curious chant or recltll­tlve, while the priest threw the strug­gling animal to the deck, plnclng his foot firmly upon his bead. The next Instant be had burled the knife Into tbe heart of the unfortunate beast, and

The crowd of devotees tben pros­trated themselves on tho deck nnd were sprinkled with blood from the dripping morsels which wore cut otr by the priest. In conclusion he raised lbe henrt three times llbm·e his head and hurled It Into the water. The body of the sheep then !al lowed sutt.

About hnl t an hour nrterw11rd, when the decks of the City o! Dublin wero cleared from nil evidences or tho snc­rltlco, the participants sat down to th� Hrst meal they had eaten since enter­Ing tho capes forty-eight hours before.

BATCHELOR'S REFLECTIONS.

A roan's wife und his D!Oney ar• uoon parted.

It a cat haij nine lives n ftddlo should have more strings.

lo'lannels, keep out as much senti­ment as theY do cold.

When love comes of age It doe& not grow hopeless, only moz:e seltlsh.

Not even a truthful looking glass cn11 convince vanity that It Is not beautiful:

The longer n mnn meets the expecta­tions of his wife the surer she ls to be uusplclous of him.

'rhe worst danger or nil Is when she shows you photographs of bers�lf when 1he was ·n baby.

Frederick Charles Pettlcord was Ia love with susan June Dusenberry, and was UllhUpj)y when not '.in iz(3r com­

also. Later he added Sunday ntternoog to bls list nntl so It went on' until he was liable to drop In nt the Dusenberry residence. every even ing ln tho week.

.besides spending ull' of Sunday after­noon there.

Ur. Dusenberry, Susan Jnne's fa­ther, viewed with growing anger the Increasing numerousness or Mr. l'ettl­cord 's calls, and often e::pressed his mind o'n the su bject to the wife of his bosom, but-she slien ced blm wlt!J the convlnclrig query: .

''Woul d you llke Susan Jane to die an old 'rnald ?"

Notwl lhstandlng this, Ur. Dusenber­ry was barely civil to the youn g man. for he' did \wt !lite him, aut! was more than once on the point of. caytng some­thing to him which, In all probabtllty, he wou ld have regretted subsequently.

One clay, Itowever, Mr. Dusenberry could restrain hlmseJC no longer.

Frederick Charles had not omitted to co:ll a single night �or nearly tw�» . wocks, and hnd been nt tl1e bouse on four aftei'Jioons ns well. Arter Susan June bad dismlsslid her n()mlrer, she turned nnll confronted · her papa. He made n great eff01t to be cal m as he said • . with what. be Intended to be cut­ting sarcasm:

'.lHadn't ihnt young man of youra better hrln'g his trunl:?'.' · ·

"Wl1nt ?" gasped the old man.' •

"And Chm·!ey ·'Will be happy too, "'hen I tell him," slle went on, nearly strnn�>llng her parent . �lth her ener• gct!c .hugs, , · · · "\V-w-what's that?" · • 11Ymi . sec; ·Jlntln, it'S just thts way.

Dear Chnrloy Is 'the b�st feliaw In tha world, but he lm't very wen orr. and we couldn't for the life or us see how

We'll stay ri[;ht with you, daddy dear, when we are ma.rrled.• Oh, you nrc f he best papa In creation. I'll !'O and tell mama and we'll decide on the date for th11 Wfddlng rl�ht away."

Mr. Dusenberry essayed to speak, but she was gone, nnd the next thing he lleard was that the wedding would tak• place In ahout six weeks. ,

The mouth Ia ·the frankest part of the face. It can the leasb conceal the feelings. We cnn neither hide ' Iii· temper with 'it nor go'od. We3!DaY llf· teet what we please, but affectations will not help us. ln a wrong canoe It will only make our observers t•esent the endeavor to Impose upon them. A mouth should be ol good natural rlf. menslons, as well as plump In the lips. When the nncleuts, among theft· beau· ties, made mention of smull •nouths and lips, they meant smnll only nR np­posed to an excess the other way, a fault very com@mon In the South. Thu sayings In favor of small momha, which have been the ruin of so'f�\uny pretty looks, ure ve1·y ulimu·d. 1 Jf thUl'l! must be un excess either wny; It bud bettar be the l iberal one. A pretty, purRed·up mouth Is fit for nothing but to be left to Its complar.cncy. J.arge mouths nrc oftener round In union with generous d iaposltlons than very small ones. Beauty should have n�tth­er, but a reasonable look of openneHs and delicacy. It has an elegance In lips, wh�n. Instead of mRklog �harp angles at the corner nr tho mouth, they retain a certain breadll1 to ·the nry verge, and show the red. The corner then looks painted with a free and II beral pencil.
