Bpcke at Its Birth- A STRANCE CHILD WHO UTTERED ONK SKNTKNXE AND THEN DIED, Bristol, Tenn., November 26 News has just reached here of a phenomenon in the shape of an ex traordinary infant born recently near Crab Orchard, Lee county, Va. The child was well developed, had a full nnd ueautmil set of teeth, and long flowing hair of a sombre hue. It was exceedingly pretty and seemed to be possessed of all the mental faculties of maturity. In a clear voice it said, "Time here is short.." It then closed its eyes and died. This, together with the appearance of the comet, which is supposed to carry death and destruction in its wake, has created considerable con sternation in that community. It has made an unmistakable impression on the more sensible, and the superstitious arc living in a state of dread, expect, ing every moment to hear a blast from Gabriel's horn.

Unking a Good Salad Have your sal id bowl, wlrich is, of course, one sufficiently large to allow the salad a thorough tossing without sprinkling either the maker or the table-cloth, rubbed with onion, and the lettuce leaves, which have been carefully ashed and thoroughly dried, brought to the table in it, writes Frances E. Lanigan in December jtnliea' Jlume Journal. It is well to allow the lettuce to lie in ice water for an hour before you are ready to use it, in order that it may be crisp and cold. Lettuce is one of the things which incorporates with great rapidity any substance with which it comes in contact, and consequently the flavor ot the onion becomes a pleasing, but not predominant, portion of the dress ing. To make dressing sufficient for from six to ten persons measure with your wooden or silver salad spoon six spoonfuls of oil, to be poured as you measure it upon the lettuce, and the leaves thoroughly tossed in it. Then dissolve in two saladspoon fills of vine gar, two saltspo'onfuls of salt, pour over the leaves, and, after another thorough tossing, serve. The great secret of French dressing is, that given the proper proportion, each leaf shall be thoroughly moistened, and for this reason stress is laid upon the tossing and mixing in the bowl Salad is seived after the meat or game course. Wiggins aud the Oomet, HI SAYS THAT IT WOULD 11 E lMI'OSSIDLE FOR IT TO STRIKE THE EARTH. Professor Wiggins was seen respect ing the alleged collision of the earth with the comet last Friday night, as stated by Professor Snyder, of Philadelphia. Professor Wiggins denies that any collision took place; first because there was no coniet near us, and, secondly, because a comet could not collide with the earth. Planets and comets, he says, are electrically positive, ami therefore repel each other. During the last century Lexell's comet actually revolved about Jupiter for several montns witnin tne orDit 01 nis most distant satellite and then it went on its course through the heavens. If a comet were to strike the earth, he savs. it would smash her into meteoric dust in twenty minutes. Comets are solid bodies like the earth and are drawn toward the sun, where they are positively electrified and are then driven off again into space ac cording to the law of like .electricities. This repulsion is easily preceived through a telescope, for when a comet nucleus moves around the sun the tail always takes up its position on the side of the comet opposite the sun showing that it is repelled. H.'.eu a comet is charged positively it will not only repel other bodies similarly charged, but will also repel parts of itself, for it is well known that Biela's comet a few years ao burst into two parts, which ever after repelled eacli other, and they are now two distinct comets in catalogues. In conclusion the professor said that if there is one hecvenly body more liable th in another to fall on the earth it is our moon, for in June her orbir is nearer to us by 40,000 miles than it is in J.vuiary, the earth and moon being 3,000,000 miles near er the sun in January then they are in June, because more highly electrified by the solar photospheres causing our planet and her satellite to repel each other. It was plain then ihat the nearer a plaiu't is to ihe sun the less clanger there is of collision itn a comet. Hence Jupiter is much more exposed to such a collision than the earth, and if his powerful attraction, a million times more powerful than ours could not force Lexell's comet to approach him, not even to become his satellite, the earth is perfectly safe.
