Throughout the whole universe, so far as Mtn of science have yet been able to die- / cover, the heavenly bodies are in a state of 'perpetual motion—not only revolving on their own axes, but travelling in their orbits round some central body, or turning, in company with their companion suns, round acme common centre of gravity This revolving motion is the product of two different forces: One; the force of gravittia tion, drewing the bodies together; the other, a projectile force, forming an angle with the line of attraction. In regard to the former of these there is no difficulty, for although scientists may, never be able to discover its cause, they know at least the -method and law of its action; but in regard to the latter they are entirely ignorant— they have, as yet, discovered neither the cause nor the haw, and therefore it is gener- ally ascribed to the direct agency of the Ahnighty Creator, who, at the time when Tie first called the worlds into existence, and endowed them with the power of grav- itation, communicated to them, at the same time, a projectile force, which, in concert with the law of gravitation, caused them to revolve both on their axes and in their orbits.—Com.

SOCIETY'S KICKERS. countewayissellEs.mys the shirt Dance— Carries out Her Tbr,eat To Go on tire The celebrated Countesa Russell, wile of Earl Russell, the grencleon of the famous Lord John Ruseell, and her dashing sister, Mrs. "Dick Ituasell,also known as" heve enaele their debut as eitirt dancers, All London has been agog for the Issettassa sensatiou arid the Royalty Theatre was crowded to its very doors Monday and Tueeday evenings, a host of fashionable persona being present at the benefit of the National Life Boa Institute. The excitement was intense when the curtain arose after the performance of W. S. Gilbert's " Sweethearts," for the swell Russells were, then to appear in their specialty. As they tripped gracefully before the footlights they were greeted with a burst of admiration. Both looked dazzlingly beautiful in their similar costumes of black and silver, with powdered wigs and clineing black lace skirts. They were assisted by Messrs. F. and C. Lam- bert. At the close of their bewiMhing dance they were saluted with a bombard- ment of flowers. The countess, with her usual vivacious mischieousness, had fastened a golden eine onet conspicuously to the front of her gay, accordion -pleated black skirt, as if further to provoke her husband, the earl, when he should hear of it. They met with another ovatton later in "A Pantomime Rehearsal." Dick Russell, the Leversons and other aria- tooratic amateurs completed the oast. The spirited countess shone in a handsome cos- turne of saffron and velvet, while her sister was equally lovely in light blue and rose Pink - the fashioneble high kickers are •dirogh ters of the eccentric Lady Scott, who forced faithless Captain Spicer to compromise a breach of promise suit for $6,000. The countess leaped into world-wide notoriety by her unsuccessful attempt last fall to be separated from Earl Russell Unable to pay the costs of her suit she appealed to her husband. He refused to come to her aid and she has carried out her threat to go upon the stage. She had pre- viously become famous through her love adventure with the late Lord James Douglas, a brother of the eccentric Lady Florence Dixie, who wound up his disreputable career in May last by cutting his throat with a razor at a London hotel. About six years ago Lord James met Miss Mabel Scott, who became C'orintess Russell four years later, and was pleased to fall in love. His love was not reciprocated, and the Court of Chancery solemnly warned him that he would be sent to prison should he attempt to hold any communication with Miss Mabel. His lordship finally decided to defy the Court of Chancery. This he did by sending 31iss Scott insulting,' if not obscene, cards and photographs, and when he reappeared in London, in May, 1888, he was promptly arrested and confined for a fortnight in Holloway jail. Lord James was then brought to a repentanb mood. About the same time "Gid" Russell be- gan to claim a large space in the newspapers. She had gone through A marriage ceremony with fiebright under very peculiar circum- stances at tbe registry office on South And - ley street, London. The marriage was sub- sequently annulled on the ground that when it was contracted Miss Lima Mary Scott "bad been reduced by mental and bodily suffering to a state in which she was in- capable of offering resistance to coercion and threats which in her normal condition she would have treated with the contempt she must have felt for the man who made them." She afterwards married the gentle- man popularly known as "Dick" Russell, who is, however, no jolation to her brother- in-law, Earl Russell. Ebectrie Cooking. Cooking by electricity is becoming, as we prophesied, quite the fashion. We notice that the proprietor of the Eldon Dining Hall and the Pine Apple Grill, at Newcastle -on - Tyne, has had trials of this novelty in cook- ing. At the former place on Friday some cutlets, and at the latter on Saturday a thick chop, were cooked by this new pro- cess—the cutlets in seven minutes and the chop in 14—to the entire satisfaction of the manageresses and chefs. We believe electric cookers are being fitted in several of the West End flats in London. They deserve to be widely adopted. Mr. Dowsing's demonstrations at the Crystal Palacewill greatly foster this cleanly and °my method of every -day cooking. --London Electrical Engineer. ladies to the FrOlitt. The Royal University of Ireland has lately conferred a unique distinction upon two of the lady lecturers of Alexandra College, Dublin, by enrolling them as members of its examining body. Miss Mary Stowe, M. A, was appoinced assist- ant examiner in French, and Miss X. Kerr Johnston, M. A., assistant examiner Id physics. The academie record of both these ladies had been brilliant. Miss Stowe obtained in 1689 the studentship in modern literature—value $2,500 —the high- est honor conferred by the Royal University of Ireland, and Miss Johnston was distin- guished throughout her course at the same university.

Buell writes from St. Anthony Park, Minn.:- The following extract from the Islineapolis Times contains a text worthy the consideration of Standard readers: "The proposed road from Minneapolis to Wayzata will he discussed by the county commissioners at their meeting on Monday. The road committee has already approved of the road as Jaid out. .All that remains is to asserts the benefits and award damages to those through whose land the road will run." nhe building of the road in quettion will undoubtedly cause an increase in the value of the land along the route of the new high- way. In this case the county commission - era are simply following the general practice here in the opening of streets and roads. The land taken for the road or street is appraised and the owners are paid the value. Then all those benefited by the building of .the road are assessed proportionately to raise the funds necessary to pay the awards. In determining who are benefited, nothing is taken into account but increase in the value of land. No one is assessed any more because his land may be improved, and the notion that the users of the road should pay a part of its cost is not considered at all. All users of the road are on an equality, and none are asked to pay at all because they are users. But the owners of land along the line of the road or at its ter- mini are benefited in a different way. They get a benefit that they can sell for cash. They get this in addition to the benefit that comes to them as users of the road. There- fore this benefit that shows itself in an in- creased value of their land is what deter- mines who shall pay for the road and what amount each shall pay. This plan of special assessment is one that single tax men will do well to study with care. It is perfectly just and wholly practical, and it has the merit of being easily understood. It is far easier to make the average man see the merits of this special assessment plan than it is to convince him of the justice and ex- pediency of the general single tax proposi- tion.—N. Y. Standard. A Bungry Here. Sir Randall Roberts, who led a dramatic company through the 'United States 15 years ago, possesses one of the oldest baroneteies in England, but he has just been sued for the recovery of $25, winch accord- ing to the evidence produced in court, had been lent to him in very small amounts for the purpose of enabling him to get his breakfast. Sir Randall is, financially speaking, on his beam ends, and is in the disagreeable position of an undischarged bankrupt. He is eking out a scanty subsistence by -borrow- ing itnd doing some occasional work for an insurance company. His fate is all the harder when it is remembered that he has behind him a distinguished career. He served in the Crimean war with such dis- tinction as to obtain a number of orders and medals, including that of the Legion of Honor. His gallantry during the Indian mutiny, too, was conspicuous, while during the Franco-German war of 1870, " where he acted as correspondent for a London daily paper,he received the order of the Iron Crossfrom the hands of Emperor William. He is a man who, dining the past 20 years, has been in constant ill -luck and in hot water, and in Cairo, in 1885, became involved in a very disaggreeable conflict. with the police. He is married and has grown-up sons and dauglitere, who appear to have discarded him. -1t7. Y. .Recorder. Worse Than She Thought.

The newspapers have made it an ''possibility for dull preachers even to be ()deed with special attention, even if they are tolerated, and it is not expected that they will be tolerated very long.

There will be no dull congregations when that preacher occupies the pulpit who bag no greater happiness than winning the souls of his hearers to the glory of the Master."

Do we believe then that the higher happiness lies in mere material self-indulgence ?"
