The belief that there is little or no twilight within the great tropical belt icircling onr planet is a very wide spread one. History, ns that beliefs need n cord with facts. It niiglit indci be .«aid that they usually do not. The toiling and moiling million.s, the hunilile units that, taken in the bulk, constitute wliat is called a “great pow er,” have neither the time nor the in clination to ovcrhanl their opinions. Tli(‘y are not as.«ailed by doubts a.s to whether the intellectual coffee wliich they have at odd moments imbibed may not have been mostly chicory. Such a state of mind nnqnc.stionably makes more liappine.«s, and although ness may bear rather too however, i le.ss real for all that, its shortest at the iglit is at its shortest ' and increaso.s with the latitude luch ri'sei: cow it is none the Twilight is equator and in —at the, equinoxes—at about the sam rate as that at which the meridians de crease their distance from one another. The increase, is, therefore, very slow in low latitudes and very rapid near the Practical or civil twilight is tho time which elaiises between the moiiient of tlio sun’s setting and tho moment when ho is si'ven degrees of a great circle be low the horizon. At the equator this time cannot, of course, bo le.ss than 28 niinute.s. At the edges of tho tropic zone it is about 31 minutes. A person with good eyesight will, slionld he care to make tho experiment, find that when at sea and on or near the equator ho is able to read average type on deck for at least 2S uiinntes after the sun has set without tho aid of artificial light and when there is no moonlight. This is the coninion sense experiment of which the duration i.s cousidorably long(‘r than the iiractical, and even at tho equator something like 70 minutes will elapse before niglit holds undis puted sway. Tills is tho length of tho true, the astronomical twilight. It is at or near tho equinoxes that the phenoiiieium under consideration is at its sliorte.st all over the globe. At tluiso periods it lasts at Honolulu 30 minutes; at San Fraiiei.sco, 3.7; at London, 4.7; at 8t. Peterslinrg, .77; at the Arctic and 73,3 c dvclc.s, 7 18 days. \When then, wo say poles have six months’ light and six m o n ths’ darkiio-s-s, n facon de parlor. The north i>ole has no less days of practical daylight caeh _ sonth polo 31.7 days, and the equator 197 day.s. Nansen, when in high north ern latitudes, was able to read The Vcrdeiisgiing many days before the longed for sunrise following tho long winter niglit. The great length of the twilight in polar regions is a boon in deed to explorers. The popular imagina tion usually attaclies itself to the great cold they have to endure, hut the real enemy is the long darkne.ss, whieli is trying to tlin entliii.siasm of even a N.ansen, Peary or a Jackson. There i.s iirnetically no difference in the length of tho twilight at tho equa tor at the equinoxes and solstices. Even at Honolulu it will not vary hy more than a couple of minutes. But in tho higher latitudes tho varying duration is very marked. In latitude .79If de- gree.s, for iii.staiice, it lasts <70 jninute.s at tho equinoxes, hut in the suniiiier solstice it lasts from sunset till .sunrise— that is to say, from 9:10 o’clock till 2:50, or five hours and 40 minutes. North or south of .83 degrees iiractical twilight lasts all “night” at the eqni- noxo. The sun is, it is true, only 13 hours aliove tho horizon, hut as ho can not go more th.'in 7 degrees below it there is continual daylight for tho 3-t honr.s. In sue li cities as Stockholm and St. Pctorshnrg there are close on to 14 hours of daylight at those sea.sons when day .and niglit at tho ecjuatiir thn poles. I, it i.s little more than than 223 year, the t are said to bo equal, and a itself the day all the forgotten that in tlioso latitudes where tho sun remains for months Iielotv the horizon tliere is during that period a good deal of daylight, so that along the eightieth parallel north (a little north of which tho Jackson-Harmswortli ex pedition spent three consecutive years in the Franz Josef islands), although the sun does not rise between Oct. 19 and Feb. 33, there is a period of three weeks following tho final sunset and another of tlie .s-amo length preceding the fir.st snnriso of the ye.ar. on each day of which good typo can bo I'G.dd for a few minutes np to some hours with out artificial light.—-S.m Francisco Call. Tlie P o i n ts o£ a Cat. A good cat—tlm kind yon want to have in the house, if any—will have a round, stuhhy, png no.se, fnll, fat cheeks and upper lip, a well developed bump on top of thn head hetiveen the ears, betokening good nature. A sleepy cat that purs a go>id deal is apt to he play ful and good natnrod. By all means to ho avoided is a cat with thin, sharp nose and twitching ears. It must he remembered also that cat will catch mice if she is not over- expressive eyes goner- betoken a mousing cat. Tiiiiglit Him n Lesson. In the life of Henrj- Bradley Plant is a story which shows that moi'cy may sometiinc.s temper justice to good effect by awakening in an offender a loyalty which he has never before shewn. Mr. Plant was one day traveling in a baggage war when he i man, in handling a ‘Glass’ atid icated.’’^ never pay cat will catch i fed, quick, fnll ally betoken a mousing cat. The greatest mistake—probably the most common one—in tho care of do mestic cats is overfeeding, particularly too mnch meat. In the wild life a cat has exercise which enables her to digest food. In the lazy house life tbe same full feeding leads to stomach troubles and to “fits.”—Woman’s Life. Sonic Curlnns CInliH.

At all events the g.amo re quires a certain amount of activity and is very interesting to the onlooker. It is a kind of football—in fact, I have heard it called Burme.se football—played with a ball aliont four inches in di ameter, made of braided rotan, entirely hollow, very strong and resilient. The number of contestants is not arbitrarily fixed, but play is sharpest when there are enough to form a circle about ten feet in diameter. • The larger the circle after it has passed tho desirable diam eter the slower the play. The game i.s to keep tho ball tossing into tho air without breaking tlie circle. As a man fails at his opportunity hp drops out, and when tliere remain hut four or six the work is sharp and very pretty. Tli<> liall is struck most gener ally with till' knee, but also with the foot, from in front, behind and at the side. Some lii'come remarkably clever. I have seen a player permit tho ball to drop directly Iieliind his back, and yet without turning return it clear over his head and straight into tho middle of the circle by a well placeil backwnrO kick of his heel.—Harper’s Weekly. llcleiiii In tlie Old Day.s. A little group of old timers were talking about the palmy days of wide open gaiiihling in New- Orleans. “It nsed to he pretty lively, I admit,” said 10 of the veterans, “but tlio only lough Monte Carlo this country the .stores. Pretty soon I was struck cold hy a monster sign of ‘Licensed Gambling House’ riglit over the door of ■ood .sized, himdsomo city, and I took itroll down the main street looking at dozen cither signs of the same kind, and then I licgan to ask questions. I found that the law required all gaming places to put up sncli bo.ards. Thej- bad to be 15 feet long and 3 feet wide, with plain white letters on a black ground. The original hill didn’t specify the size, so some of the houses had signs mado about half an inch long, that you’d need a microscope to re.id, and that’s why the piirtienlars were laid down so exactly. The ganihling shops wore sand wiched right in between groceries and shoo store.s, and one of ’em was next doer to a church. It looked funny, I tell you.”—New Orle.ans Tinies-Demo- WOTMlorfiil ITairctressiiij?. Hairdressing in Znluland is an im portant feature, both to the brido and bridegroom, and the attention paid to the coiffure of the pair would shame the performance of a west end hairdresser who arranges a bride’s locks and fastens the orange blossom chaplet. A cone, shaped erection, for instance, is tho lawful coiffure of a Zulu wife, and tliis cannot bo legally worn till the marriage ritc's are duly completed. Save for the all important cone, the head of a Zulu brido is closely shaved, an as sagai being used for tbe purpose, while as soon as a youth is of marriageable o his head is shorn to leave a ring ound the scalii and then liberally he- leared with fat and ocher,ler, withoutithout w mid feel fit- When the bridegroom elect has been of all his hair save the wool on lar shape and some four inches in diam eter, a ring is sewed to this gum and charcoal. In this the Zulu thrusts long snuff spoons, needles and small utilit’ articles and is very proud of his ring which is tho badge of manhood.—Gas sell’s Magazine. A Life Worse Thao Dcalli. It is said that Dr. TufiSer of tbe Hos pital do la Petie, Paris, succeeded in bringing a man to life temporarily. The man operated upon was Jean Soulie, who had been pronounced dead. Dr. Tnffier, it is alleged, in the presence of a largo number of students, took tho body, and, after the application of sev eral recognized methods of proving the total extinction of life, exposed the man’s heart, and, holding the organ in his hand, pressed first one side with the finger and then on the other side with the thumb, and, keeping it up continu ously, caused an artificial action, and after a tinio there were nnmistakahle evidences o f life. It is said that the roan answered one or two questions put to him. It was impossible to maintain this artificial action very long, and the man sank hack to his second death.
