We have read how the coffin of Mahomet was poised without support in the mosque of the faithful, from which all unbelievers were so rigidly exsgluded; no material support was nece ary to sustain the remains of the prophet, the body itself seemed ever on the point of - following the departed spirit to the Aperennial miracle Was indeed necessary to sustain the revered sarcophagus in space. The infidel, no doubt, is somewhat sceptical about this marvelous phenom- enon, and now, as ever the truth is stranger than fiction. Far over our heads there is a vast globe, larger and heavier than millions of sarcophagi; no material support is rendered to that globe, yet there it is sustained from day to day, from year to year, from century to century. ‘ What is it that prevents the moon falling? That is the question which now lies before us. It is assuredly the case that the earth continually attracts the moon. The efiect of the attraction is not, however, shown in actually draw— ing the moon closer to the earth, for this, as we have seen, does not happen, but the attraction of the earth keeps the moon from going further away from the earth than it would otherwise do. Suppose, for instance, that the at traction of the earth were suspended, the moon would no longer follow its orbit, but would start off in a straight line in continuation of the direction in which it was moving at the moment, when the earth’s action was interrupted. What Newton did was to show, from the circumstances of the moon’s dis- tance and movement, that it was at- tracted by the earth with a force of the same description as that by which the same globe attracted the apple, the dif~ ference being that the intensity of the force becomes weaker the greater the distance of the attracted body from the earth. In fact, the attraction of the earth on a ton of matter at the distance of the moon would be withstood by an exertion not greater than that which would sus- tain‘iabout three-quarters of a pound at the surface of the earth—Good Words. "NPV ‘ ‘3: Curious Marriage Statistics. 3‘ A German statistician has recently published the results of his investiga- tion of the relative ages of husbands and wives in the various capi sis of Eu- rope. He ascertained that marriages are the most frequent where the husband is two or three years older than the wife. Women under twenty years of age, how- ever usually take unto themselves hus- bands six or seven years older than themselves. The cases in which the man was a year" ,younger "than the woman were almost as numerous as those in which he was six or seven years older. The first condition was true of 6.7 per cent. of all married couples and the latter condition of ,6.4 per cent. The cases where the husband was six or seven years younger than the wife were also just as numerous as those where he was thirteen or fourteen years older. Only two cases were discovered where the husband was thirty - five years the senior; one case where he forty- seven years older. and one case where he was older by forty -six years One case Was discover ed where the wife was thirty-four years older than the husband Twelve and three- . tenths per cent. of all Imen who marry women under twenty years of age, according to the statistician, are between twenty-six and twenty-seven. years old—Boston Courier. _ The Stone and the llletal Ages. Man, during the “Stone Age” livedin caves dressed in skins and made weapons from flints with which .he fought the animals existing at that time. _He was, perhaps, a cannibal, yet he made fires,- instruments of offense and defense, adorned himself with rudely carved beads to show his political or religious views, and buried his dead in caves with religious ceremonies. During the “ Metal Age” tools were made of a better character. Villages were built on pilesdriven deep in the lake bottoms, . and cloth was woven and made into garments. Several kinds of , animals were domesticated, and numerous articles of ornament were manufactured. Wheat, barley and cats were cultivated. The baker’s art was discovered. Glass was found, and some fruits stored for winter use. And after iron had been added to the list of metals already known, civilization advanced rapidly—Detroit Free Press.

In each of them he found a pro rata of nuggets, the total amount gathered from thethirty-one hens 'being»$387,50=,, an averageof $12.50ra head. The-gold was sent to the State National Bank, and pronounced 18 karat fine.
