Some Comparisons That Afford a Coneep
tlon of the Orb's Immensity.
Ponder also upon the stupendous size
of that orb, which glows at every point
of its surface with the astonishing fer
vor I have indicated, writes Sir Rob
ert Ball in McClure's Magazine. The
earth on which we stand is no doubt a
mighty globe, measuring as it does
8,000 rulies in diameter; yet what are
its dimensions in comparison with
those of the sun? If the earth be rep
resented by a grain of mustard seed,
then on the same scale the sun should
be represented by a cocoanut. Per
haps, however, a more impressive con
ception of the dimensions of the great
orb of day may be obtained in this way.
Think of the moon, the queen of the
night, which circles monthly around
our heavens, pursuing as she does, a
majestic track, at a distance of 240,
000 miles from the earth. Yet the sun
is so vast, that if it were a hollow ball,
the moon could revolve on its orbit
which it now follows, and still be en
tirely inclosed within the sun's in
terior. For every acre on the surface of our
globe there are more than 10,000 acres
on the surface of the great luminary.
Every portion of this illimitable des
ert of flame is pouring forth torrenta
of heat. It has indeed been estimated
that if the heat which is inces
santly flowing through any single
square foot of th sun's exterior
could be collected and applied
lwnpnth the boilers of an At
lantic liner it would suffice to produce
steam enough to sustain in continuous
movement those engines of ao.uuo norse
power which enable a superb ship
to break the record between ireianu
and America.
SOCIABILITY OF INDIANS.
They Are Fond of Faying social visits
Among Themselves.
Indians, contrary to widely received
opinions, are of a social nature anil fond
oi paying friendly visits, the etiquette
of which would make a cnapter oi iv
self. Not much attention is given tc
the order of their going while in the
dust of travel, but when arrived within
a short disance of their destination a
halt is called, the ponies are relieved of
their burdens, the rawhide packs are
opened, and gala dresses and fine ornac
menU come to light, me two young
men selected to lie the bearers of gifts
ot tobacco deck themselves for their
mission and ride on in advance. A sur
prise party Is not in the Indian's Hat
of amusements; he takes his tnemy
unawares, but not his friend. The
young men return with messages of
welcome; sometimes members of Uie
family to be visited come with them
txTHonally to conduct the porty.
Meanwhile, writes Alice C. t lowlier
In Century, all bavo been busy prink
ing; bruHhing and braiding their locks,
painting their faces, and donning their
liest gear, the wide prairie their dress-Ing-rooin,
their mirrors each other's
ryes. W lion the visiting party is again
t-n route there is not a man or woman
vi ho I not gorgeous with color and the
glitter of shell or feather finery. Even
the children have daubs of fresh paint
in their plump little rliwks, while the
dudes are wonderful to brhold, resplen
dent In necklaces, embroidered leg
gings, ami shirts, and with ornaments
innumerable braided into their scalp
lorks. The visit over the Indians go
l-nck to their homes pleased and eon-
ti-nteil, happy If they find, as may not
always lie the eimc. that the enemy
have not been at work in their absence.

him. Then he noticed, with great con
fusion, that he was in his shirtsleeves.
His sack coat hod come' off with the
other. He put them both on again and
tried to peel off the overcoat, but it
wouldn't move a little bit. He gave a
desperate tug and wriggled his fat
shoulders, and the next moment he was
in his shirtsleeves again. "Get out!'
"Sit down!" "Rip it off!" cried the
people behind him, but the fat man tried
again, and with the assistance of two
men in the seats behind him he finally
managed to shed his overcoat.
BENDING OF WOODS.
An Art Extensively Used In Carriage and
Boat Building-.
Comparatively few persons outside
the carriage and boat-building indus
try are aware of the extent of the wood-
bending industry, and but few realize
that the carriages they ride in are very
largely made of such wood the felloes
of all their wheels are bent and made
in two parts the framework of coaches
and heavy carriages is nearly all made
of bent stock, and not only better made,
but more cheaply and the frames of
pleasure boats are bent, as also many
of the frames of the finest Bailing
yachts; furniture, too, of many kinds
has bent frames, all the celebrated
Thonet chairs, for example, being made
entirely of wood thus treated. The ob
ject of bending is twofold, says the
Woodworker, namely, saving of time
and stock and stability and strength of
the work when put together this inde
pendent of beauty of form; and bent
carriuge shafts are almost, if not en
tirely, used now, instead of the olJ'
style, clumsy, sawed ones. Skill in
manipulating the material is very es
sentiol; simply the forms to bend on,
and the steam box in which to soften
the wood do not alone insure success In
the operation it is necessary to know
perfectly the stock to bend. It being so
variable that no two pieces bend alike,
told one of the neighbors from across
the street that she anticipated taking
the baby to Ohio to see its grandmother.
As this was Raid in the presence of the
persecuted baby, I shall always think
that he reflected upon the number of
times he would have to exhibit the lace
gowns, and then, as the easiest way out
the difficulty, he just laid down and
died.
When the neighbors from across the
street called to express their sympathy,
the heart-broken mother was a sad and
hopeless heap in the middle of the floor,
surrounded by that fateful layette. As
she gathered up a lace garment to dry
her tears, she sobbed aloud:
"And to think we were go
ing- to Ohio only next week
and now my mother will-
never see its clothes!"
And some way I thought that baby
heard. N. Y. Recorder.

A FULL DAY'S WORK
Wh.l a Mew Knsland Farmer Aeeasa-
pllshad.
Lest some one should think an
Aroostook farmer's life too free and
easv. the Parkhurst correspondent of
the Fort Fairfield Beacon gives this
account of an average day's work dur
ing thanotato-diirsrinff season: "I went
to bed at 11 p. m. with the conviction
that I must get up at 4 a. m. aocai
timei. Awoke when the clock struck
and dared not go to sleep again for
fear of sleeping over. Jumped out of
bed at 4 o'clock, ran to the barn, dressed
myself aa I went, and fed and harnessed
four horse; ran to the house and woke
the old woman (for good reasous farm
era' wives often sleep with the hired
girl through potato digging); ran to
the spring and back twice; greased the
double wagon; mended a cheek rein;
unloaded four barrels and a basket of
potatoes and dumiied IB barrels; 5,
woke up the rrewj 6:30, break fust;
5:33. ran to the barn again, got the
horses on the wagon and started for
the factory; 6, arrived at factory,
horse steaming, two acres of teams
ahead of me; rvrrybody swearing;
6; 30, lit my pipe; 7, gave some oljthr
boys a lesson In careless language; s,
lit my ple again; 9, went Into Die
tioarding house and tried to burs the
rook; 10, uld a big yarn; II, stole a
bottle of whisky; 12:30, got unloaded,
full as a starch factory, and ran Uie
horses all the way home, arriving at
I; had a row with a Frenchman and
forgot to rat dinner; t, rhsaed four
Arab peddlers out of the field, then
hauled tmtator to the cellnr till 7;
S, had supper, unharnessed and cared
for the horses, went to Ihe spring twice
more, shoveled potatoes In cellar till
9:30, got a chance to kiss the hired girl
twice; 10, went to bed happy.

Natural Soft Soap In Puddles.
A party of gentlemen from the east
who have been hunting and fishing for
the past month in the Big Horn moun
tains and basin met while there with
a pertinent illustration of the natural
marvels of the great cent ral west. This
was nothing less than the discovery of
a scries of pits, or vats, of natural soft
soap, the excellent quality of the prod
uct showing that old Dame Nature is
well competent, when in the mood, to
hold up fully the end of her string as a
housewife. These natural soft-coap
pits, seven in number and having an
average capacity of about 1,000 gallons,
are scattered over an area of two or
three acres of alkali land, situated just
below the mouths of half a dozen hot
springs and two large springs of prac
tically pure lubricating oil. The water
from the hot springs and the oil drain
age combining with each ot her and act
ing on the allcnll deposit constitute a
natural soap manufactory, the product
ot which is gathered in the adjacent
series of earth cavities or pits. Just
below the pits themselves is a wide
tract of spongiest marsh soil in whose
depths the soft-soap surplus is ab
sorbed. The product U perfectly mar
ketable, and In the coming commercial :
development of the Mg Horn basin
there will doubtless be a natural soft-
soap syndlcnte. Denver News.
