Coincidences inevitably form one of
the newspaper topics of the London
"silly season," and Canon Venables
makes public through the Times one
which he considers as wonderful as any
of which lie has heard. Forty years ago
he was riiling with a party Of friends
from Palestrina to Frascati, when he
dropped his eye-glass. They were about
giving up a long search when one ol
them remarked ihat the glass ought to
reveal itself by the redaction of the sun
light, and to illustrate this he throw a
coin into the air. A sharp click was
heard and there lay the coin on the eye
glass.
A London clergyman who does not be
lieve in ottering to a bride the "alterna

ways omits that "wicked expression"
"obey" from the marriagejservice, writes
to the Pall Mail Gazette about a wed
ding in a neighboring churcn which wa«
attended by an ominous incident. The
bride being dumb when she should have
uttered the dreadlul word, the bride
groom bade the clergyman continue:
"for." said he, shaking his fist, "we'il
settle that' ere among ourselves after

Alexandare Dumas lived te see the
first reverses of French arms in 1870.
For several weeks before his death, in
December, his reason flickered, and
during his lucid intervals his friende
kept the truth from him. A few days
before his death he looked at a twenty
franc piece, which constituted the
whole cf his fortune, and observed
"People ought not to call me a spend
thrift I started in life with twenty
francs and there they are." He hail
earned at different times no less than
i::500,000. Dumas died at Puys, near
Dieppe, in December, 1870. The Prus
sians marched in to Dieppe on tho very
day that he died, and his son, unwilling
that the hearse should be s iluted on its
way to the cemetery by the invading
troops, caused the burial to be preformed
at the little village of Neuville.
A meeting of Orangemen,to express indig

The halt yearly meeting of tbe grand lodge

all to stand by and lor the integrity of the

forming a similar operation on a jackass.
According to the newspaper reports,
the sentences were received by the

and donkeys were deeds worthy of
praise.
Commodore John Lee Davis, who is

Painting the Sky Red.
mother surprising suuset spectacle was ,?it
nenseJ 111 St. l'aul late yenteritay af.ernoou, the
phenomenon DresentiQg all the characteristics of the
i briptu red atmosDheric pieluro ot a weak or ten
days ago. Shortly before 5 u'cloek a roil tflow
bsgau to lisrht up the western horizon, gradually
i upreaditif until a hu^'s area of sky was uinrkod by
I the blood-red coloring. The brightest and cluaresl
i tmgo was just before (J o clock, after the sun had
disappeared frorn Tiew, and the effect
I was marretoussly pretty and brilliant. The
reflection seemed to extend to every
thing in the range of oue's vision, giving
the annusphero, ttia buildings, ami the high
bluffs across the river a reddish or dark pink tinge
while, looking toward the illuminated sky, it
seemed as if there really was a tremendous tire
raging at Minneapolis or away beyoud. The rod
glow extended upward a great height, and i' wai
i after S o'clock before the sky assumed its normal
anpearance. Ths brilliaut spectacle attracted
wide-spread attention ar.d a hmration. A similar
display, occurring about ,«u days ago. was made ill®
subject if extended comment br the *cieuti.sts and
new*paMrs throughout the ciMlized world. Last
evening'* phenomenon was much less striking,
though brilliant enough to entitle it to mention
at a most remarkable atmospheric spectarb).
The display of ten days ago has puz
zled as'ronumers and the acientific world generally,
wide UitYersnces of opinion existing aato the causes
leading to such a wonderful effect. At a meeting
of the American Astronomical society in New York
on the evening of the i, the curious problem wai
exhaustively discussed. One of the members said
the flr- phenomenon appeared in San Francisco
about Nov. 'JO of the present year. It was then
supposed that the appearance was caused by same
fire burning in the West, although such a supposi
tion placed the fire in the 1'acitlc o?ean. .Subse
quently the phenomenon was observed in the Mis
sissippi valley. It seemed as if it progressed trom
wet to ea»t across the continent Hut on the '.Kh
or 10th of November, nearly two weeks before it
was observed at San Franc »ro, similar phenomena
were seen in Kngiaud, So wide-spread was the red
glow that the speaker soon formed the opinion
that it was due to cosujlcal causes. He advances
the theory that the cause of th« phenomena might
be refl-ction from meteoric dust. He also suggest
ed that the phenomena of the green son seen in
India aud South America might tie accounted for
in the same way, The idea was discarded that
either of thtse phenomena could be accounted for
by the volcanic vapors from the island of Java.
Certain it is that some very unusual condition of
things exists io the atmosphere to produce the sin
guiar appearances that have recently been wit
nessed, an.i the display of last evening will tend to
still further mystify the scientist and stimulate an
effort to solve the extraordinary problem.

New

A.
remarkable observation
was mado by Prof. Brooks, an iuJustrioiis as
tronomer of Western New York on Wedn- sday
evening. Whilt» searcbiug with his tekwope
for comets, he enw what he describes as a
shower of telescopic moteors "near tho sun."
This, of course, menus that they woro uear the
apparent place of the suu in tho sky. and not
literally near that body, for the sun liad already
•s-^t at the time, and if what Prof. Brooks saw was
really a metoor swarm, the meteors must have
been iu the upper regions of our atmosphere.
Supposed flights of meteors s- en through tele
sc IJOH havo occasionally turned out to be
flocks of birds, but an observer as careful and
experienced as "I'rof. Brooks seems to be
would not be likely to make such a mistake as
that. Assuming, theu, that he reallv did
eoe an extraordinary swarm of meteors,
aud remembering that meteors large
enough to be visible without telescopes
and some of great size and brilliancy,
have recently been nnusually numerous,
the suggestion that the red !i-ht seen iu the
sky for several evenings ra-t, long after sun
set, may be caused by reflection from clouds
of meteoric dust in the upper portion of the
atmosphere is not unnatural. There are sev
eral reasons for thinking that tbe s'range light
is the result of some such cause as rlie pres
ence of meteoric dust rathef than of differences
of density in the atmosphere leading to extra
ordinary refraction. Iu the first place, the
phenomenon has not onlv been visible over
an immense extent of territory, but it has
lasted several davs, and. has been soon in the
east before sunrise as well as in the west after
sun«et, so that any abnormal refraciou in the
atmostphere would hive to* be of almost in
credible porsistenc9 in order to account fcr the
observed appearances. *Besid-s, (hiring this
time there have been considerable atmspherio
changes, in respect to temperature. 'Ih*se
remarkable sunset ttifto'ays' have also henn
accompanied by a notably hazv appearance of
the skv.
It is well known* thaUtho earth is dailv and
nightly pelted with millions of meteors, the
vast majority of which aro a most instantly
consumid by the intense heat developed as
they dash into our-atmo*ph'ere. The pro lucti
of the combustion of these mslcora filter slowly
down through the air, and have bien found in
the shape of metallic dust' ou the enow fields
in the arctic regions, on mountain peaks in
Europe, and in other similar localities, being
recognizable by their peculiar chemical com
position. It is also known that the nolw sys
tem aLounds with swartiis of meteors revolv
ing around the sun, and that the earth crosses
the paths of a number of these, oceasiorally
sucountering the swarms themselves. The
vast majority of these meteors' are varv small
those that aro seen weighing on an "average
probably only *. few grains and since the tele
scope reveals millions whioh escape the naked
eye, it is reasouable to tjonc'udo that millions
more are too small to be^een, eveu with tele
scopes—mere meteoric dust.- There are his

.4 Thanksgiving Story Dealing With
an Odd Train of Circumstances.
When Ortelia opened her eyes in
.the
morning she could look straight through
the side of the house at the blue sky
and the tops of the waving pines. It
wasn't a red brick house with a layer of
smooth white motar between every
brick nor was it a painted wooden
house with green blinds neither did it
have a cupola on top, or a conservatory
at one end, or a piazza in front. Ortelia's
father and a few of the neighbors built
the house, aud as there were no archi
tects among them they simply rolled
the logs on top of ea-h other amd
didn't take time to till in the spaces be
tween. But the sun and the moon
came creeping through the chinks that
the builders had left and Ortelia was
more than satisfied.
One Thanksgiving morning Oriclia
took Maggie out in the woods and to
gether they trampled thn few dead
leaves that had fallen. Ortelia didn't
know it was Thanksgivintr Day. She
knew when Christmas arae although
no one had ever made her the smallest
present.
''(, here's a heap o' dock: said Or
telia, getting down on her knees and
diguing u i the roots with both fat brown
hands. "We'll take some home t) gran
nv. She'll make a power o' tea of it.
Mebbe it will cure her rheumatiz. O,
look!" she cried, suddenly "I've found
such a funny stone, with marks all over
it."
''Put it in my
pockrv,"
lisped chubby
Maggie.
"Come yere, *juick:" \c:aimed Orte
lia, who bad begun to dig again for dock
loot, and before Maggie's uncertain
steps could reach In-r she bail drawn
from the sand, where it lay half buried,
a small iron pot, covered with a thick
coat of rust.
"Take home to Granny," said Maggie,
as she quickly threw the bright ber
ries she gathered into the pot aud tried
to drag it along by the handle,
"It's a heap too heavy fur you," said
Ortelia. "Reckon you'll have to let me
carry it. You kin carry the berries and
we'll 411 the pot full o' dock root."
Granny was sitting in the doorway
when Ortelia and Maggie came in sight
of the house.
"What ou chillen got?" she asked.
I'ears though you done a heap o'
walkin'. What's that your fete.hin' me?
Wherever did you git the pot?"
"It was in the sand behind a heap o'
bushes,' said Ortelia. "I'lugom'to git
some asbys and see if I can't scour it up."
In half an hour the old kettle looked
as black as ink once more, and trtelia's
anus ached hard with rubbing. "Put in
the dock root, Granny." she said,
"Mebbe it will uo your rheumatiz a
power o' good."
So Granny set the pan on the tire,and
soon the dock was simmering gently.
Maggie crept in to see the new pot boi'
the dock. The pretty berries she had
gathered lav on the floor, and she picket!
them up and dropped them one bv one
in the pot. Her mother was out in the
field husking corn. Granny was fast
asleep in her splintbottom chair, and
Ortelia sat
011
the doorstep trving to tret
the baby asleep.
"I don't feel right well," said Grannv,
after their Thangsgiving dinner of pork
and corn-bread, "reckon I'll have a sip
o the dock."
But she didn't feel any better when
supper-time came, although she had
taken several sips of the dock, and Or
telia's mother grew anxious.
"Do you think you could git over to
the minister's?" she said to Ortelia.
Now the minister lived a long mile
away, and the path lay straight through
the woods.
It was scarcely dark when Ortelia
came to the minister's long frame house
but the minister himself had gone to
the shore, a mile further on, so there
was nothing for her to do but to irry
back home again as fast as she could.
It grew darker and darker. Sudden*
ly she stumbled over a black object that
lay)" the path, and fell flat on her face.
Who is it?" asked a man's faint
voice.
"Me," answered Ortelia, almost too
frightened to speak.
"I think I must have fainted," said
the man. Did you stumble over me a
