At every station on the Russian rail roads is a grievance book, in which the traveler may inscribe his wrongs in any language he likes, and which is periodically read by the authorities. It is computed that there are 34, 000 newspapers printed in the world at present. Of this number one-half are printed in the English language. The German comes next and the French follows An unfortunate "puss in boots,' trained to walk up and down before her master's shop with a placard on her breast puffing the wares for sale within, is the latest advertising attrac- tion in London. In Buckingham county, Ya., are about forty little concerns, each em ploying three men, which distill oil from sassafras root. Each mill turns out about a gallon and a half of oil each day, worth 6.75. The electric light is reported to have been tried in France as a lure for sea fish. The brilliant glare of a submerged lamp is found to attract great numbers of fishes, which may be readily captured in nets. Simon Iieichard, his wife, two sons and two daughters, of Mauch Chunk, weigh together 1,522 pounds, and claim to be the heaviest family of six in Pennsylvania. Their several sep arate weights are represented to be 245, 235, 220, 222, 200 and 400 pounds. A shingle-packing contest for a 200 prize was lately decided at Saginaw Mich. Jack Lyons gained the victory after ten hours of steady and rapid work, with a score of 59,250. He was closely followed by Robert Scott, who packed 59,100 shingles.

The Moon and the Earth. A reader who signs bimself 'One of the Boys" asks what he evidently thinks are some funny questions about a statement that appeared in the Com panion to the effect that the earth lost considerable territory when it parted with the moon. As an answer to some of his questions we will give the theory of the formation of worlds that is at present accepted by astronomers, for the benefit of interested readers. Millions of years ago a vast mass of fiery nebulous matter is supposed to have filled and extended far beyond the space now occupied by the sun and his family of worlds. As ages rolled on changes took place in this vaporous mass. The inner and larger portion condensed and took form as the central sun, and the outer portion contracted into concentric rings, which in process of time be came planets and satellites ; sun planets and moons being indissolubly bound together and forming our solar system. No astronomer has yet found out the way by which this result was brought about, or why the earth should have but one moon, while Saturn re joices in eight moons beside his won derfid rings. This, in a few Drief words, is the foundation of what is known as the nebular hypothesis or the theory that ages ago our system was a mass of fiery vapor, that in cooling has condensed into globular masses or worlds, that we call sun, planets and their moons Most of these worlds are still cooling off to the stage which .ill matter must reach, the general law being the larger the body the longer it will take to cool. Thus the moon, being smaller than the earth, has cooled off nntil it is a dead world unfit to sustain life. The earth, millions of years hence, unless interferences that are contingent occur, will be in the same condition. Even the sun himself will ages hence lose his light and heat. One of the Boys" will see that im mense periods have elapsed since the moon in the cooling process "sloughed off' from the earth, and that his ques tions are connected with one of the most- difficult problems of astronomy. If "all of the boys" will study this grand and ennobling science they will find material for unending interest and entertainment in the fsiscinating and marvelous truths it reveals. xoutn's Companion. LADIES' DEPARTMENT. News and Notes for Women. Andrews, Ind., has a brass band composed of fourteen young ladies. About two hundred and fifty female clerks are now-employed -in the central postoffice at London. A silk journal recommends strained hot coffee for cleaning black silk.

It wa3 written forty-six years ago, and first published in Boston in 1840. Mrs Hale resided in Boston at that time. In Baltimore a man was convicted of beating his wife, and the convict was terribly surprised when the judge, instead of fining him a few dollars and letting him go, announced that under the new law adopted in Maryland his punishment would be thirty lashed on the bare back. Miss Lena Kirke, of Batavia, K. Y., has served some eight years in a den tist's office, where she has become qualified, and now has a permit to practice dentistry in any part of the State. Miss Kirke, however, prefers a salary where she is to the responsi bility of an office of her own. Fashion Notes. Jet remains in high favor. Yellow remains in fashion.

Jackets almost covered with soutache embroidery will be worn. Beads will be used again for em broideries of evening dresses. The small capote and the large poke will be the leading bonnets. Tapering crowns are not so fashiona ble as large square and flat ones. Striped plush is blocked into shape as a lining for the wide brims of felt iv.agonal rows of narrow bias ruffles are the new trimming for the foot of silk skirts. Sicilienne and Irish poplin are com ing into fashion along with other repped goods. Leather lace with leaves of leather on twine ficelle lace is a novelty for trimming bonnets. The new braid embroidery differs from that so familiar to every lady by having the narrow braid set np on one edge in what is oalled " knife-blade" fashion to make the figures appear in relief on the fabric. Amazon cloth is the most suitable material for braid ing; cashmere is not firm enough, and this work upon it has a drawn look that is not admired.
