It se med tJrst like a htierint; star close 10 tlie irreut moon of which it was a satellite. .Nearer aud nearer we ap proached it, till it fcrew to a glolie ia -pace. Ihen the moonlet seemed cov ered with lurve rocks ol many lortns and lautastic shapes. The elements were there as on the earth, and in the ii lKhtv sun aud throughout the solar system: iron and cn'onim, salt aud maeuesiitm tilled up in divers rocks. just as on the wilder regions oi the earth. We drew nearer to it, and suffered the force of gravitation to draw us to wards it though here that force was fourfol.L (1) That of Jupiter; (2) that of the parent moon, ilii that of the dis tant fur-off sim (parent of all t; and lastly, that of the moonlet. As one drew near it grow into manifestly what it was a tiny world; the glolie rose be fore our sight like a mountain, from the collator. Rut the equator was no plain; it was infinite space. Nearer we drew to its rocky fctirface. J he clefts in the rocks and the gorg s opened up, aud the fatit istiu rocks rose as miniature mountains on its surface. The point we made for was a tiny plain some forty degreei from the orth Pole that is, a region on that little world, situated not unlike the relative position of England and (iertniuy on your earth. At tenth our aeri.il ina e;iiLO struck its surface gently, for we slackened its force of impact. Wo de scended, on its surface. It was a plain of a few acres, enclosed with rocks like miuiniiire mountains. lue sua was shining with the dim li-ht usual in the far regions of Jupiter when we ar rived, but very soon the rotation of the little glohe brought on the night. When a strauge scene was thon opened to our wondering eyes! There overhead, in all its majesty, belted round his grand equator with four vast belts, was glorious Jupiter, more limn a htin lred times the size of your full moon. He shone superbly in the heavens, giving many times th" light of tlie moon upon the earth. Rut besides tLat, there was real moon light there, aud moonlight not only brigtiter, but more varied than that of earth. The parent moon of the moonlet, being so much nearer, shone with a splendor lutle Kbs than Jupiter himself. Then there were the three other distant moons, each as graud as earth's moon in varied phases - one a crescent, another a hall-moon, and third in the full. We rested in silent contemplation of the glorious siyht. Then one of my comrades broke the silencu: 'How wonderful and glorions are God's works! Here in thip little world, where everything is so small on its surface, what plor.es are mauifeato t in its heavens! L t us wait here, and wuteh the chuniringphases of Jupiter Bad his moons." If the first sight was wonderlnl, the Fnccessive change we tieheld was like a cdo.i.-nl pyrotechnic display, which Las Kine on for countless ayes. Slowly each moon passed through its phases, and slowly :ts -dark portions drew ea liguteiied, uiid then fa :ed away intc ti.e ilurkue-s.

Not only the forms, but the colors varied, lor tho moons were not all of one color, .-ometi'iies the silver light of the plant prevailed, sometimes the gr. at blue moon shone over all shin ing as a line light dominating all; sometimes this was varied in shady places by the red, and sometimes by the yellow moon. I: was a glorious spectacle the like of which the eye of man has never restd on. The starry heavens were ornamented with mighty orbs moving vi.-dbly in space, enlight ening the little world with more than moonlight cf divers c dors, but only suffering tne stars ol the lirst magni tu ie to he seen.

The pnll of extraneous gravitation i.e., the pall upwards of the parent moon and of huge Jupiter himself made one feel light, and one could leap over lofty obstacles and rocks. Every part of the little world was soon explored, and then we rested on our plain, and watch ed the magnificent spectacle of the heavens and the huge orbs, ever chang ing in form, rolling altove us. How marvellous they seemed in their gran dear I We dwelt many days on this little world, aud contemplated i(s scenes. Its surface contained few wonders. Life had been there, but it was gone, and only barren rocks varied its sur face. It mnst have been a strange life in a world so tiny and so light iu its gravitating power. But it had passed away, and now the little world was desert. At length we held a consultation on onr plain. More time had been spent here than we could well spare on onr long voyage through the wonders of the solar system, but the superb spec tacles of that wondrous aiied moon light had fascinated na. We decided now, after a rest of some twelve of earth's davs, to launch forth into space again, an J to behold God's many won drous works in other greater worlds beyond. So we mounted onr ether ship, and again darted forth into space to behold Creation's marvels in the vast universe beyond. Aleriel. UELICS OF THE CLIFF-DWELLERS. HELEN EVERTSON SMITH. A few miles above Montezuma's cas tle on the opposite bank of the creek, a conspicuous cone-like mountain rises a few hundred feet above the surround ing country. On making the ascent, the summit was found to be a narrow rim enclosing a crater some three hun dred feet in diameter and with nearly perendicular walls. Standing on the rim, oue can look down a hundred feet npon the dark blue water of a small lake iu the bosom of the mountain. The lake, a hundred yards in diameter snd of unknown depth, is known as Montezuma's well. In the steep sides of the crater are a nnmher of oaves, which at oue time were the abode of uau. A few aro natural, but the greater number are the result of hnmar jffort. The rim is crowned with the fallen walls of an ancient ruin more than a nindred feet long. Far down the mountain-side, below the level of the water in the crater, the outlet of the well flows from between an opening in the rocks. This stream is large and constant, and at present is used to ir rigate a ranch in the valley below. Ages ago the builders of caves and castles utilized this same stream to irrigate portions of the neighboring rich valley. A short distance down the valley a stone and cement ditch of pre-bistorio make can be easily traced for many ds. Ranchmen iu building ditches oquentlv follow the courses of ancient ones. Iu July, lat year, iu construct ing an irrigating ditch near old Fort Verde, on tlie-west side of the river, the workmen found evidences of an ancient ditch buried some twelve feet be low the surf ice. Mauy of theo!d ditcbec have been found upon mesas where under present conditions it would be impopble to fict water to till tbem. Frequently they lead from what are now dry washes which only carry water a few days at a time and then only after heavy rains, this seems to indi cate that there was a time when the now drv washes carried water much more constantly than at present. .Many of the jars found were appar ently moulded inside of wicker baskets of a tine, close workmanship, aud then in the bakirg this wicker work was burned olf leaving its impress in the hardened clay, and forming a really rich decoration. Other jars and dishes are ornamated with a pattern very sim ilar to the desicns known as early fireek, where wheels seem to interlace and follow each other. ( Hher designs seem to bear a rude resemblance to the waves of the sea: hence it has been conjectured that the (Jliff Dwellers may have strayed so far inland from the sea, or, at least, that they held some sort of commercial relations with the inhabitants of the oreau shores. All the objects in pottery are un- lazed, although some fragments have been fonud which show an apparent attempt at glaziug. the weaponsand implements remain ing are said to be all of stone and wood. A writer in a late number of the New York Hvening 1'oxf, in speak- mg of these relics, says that "there is uo evidence of a knowledge of working any metal, even copper, on the part ol the Cliff Dwellers." Hence we eaunot connect them with the race which once worked the Lake Superior copper mines. In spite of this Ignorance of metals. the ClitF Dwellers were evidently far in advance of the useful arts of any tribes which nave existed notth of Mexico within the knowledge of Europeans. Iu the Montezuma Valley have been fonud terra cotta heads of human be ings, strongly resembling similar ob jects discovered in the curious ruins of lucatau. bother Aztec, Xoltee. aud ClirT Dweller were of the same oiigiual race is yet uncertain. The human re mains of the ClifT Dwellers aro very scanty. Only a few disjointed frag ments of skeletons and the skil ls shown in onr picture. The latter dis play a grand development of the intel lectual orgaDB, but as might bo ex pectod from the timidity exhibited in their choice of dwellings do not mani fest any very great amount of the forcefnl propensities. Such a race must have Inevitably disappenre.l be fore the energetic, relentless persecu tions of tribes like our North Ameri can Indians.

V Kansas City Writer Takes 1 Back to Cleopatra. The game of billiards is very ancient fust how old it is nobody seems to now, but in "Antony and Cleopatra" shakespere has Cleopatra mention the jame, and so we have authority for crediting billiards with nineteen cen turies of existence. Shakespere is cnown to have improved a little on history at times for the sake of help ing a scene, but it is not improbable that when Antony returned from slaughtering a whole lot of people be would put off his cast iron pajamas Bnd while away the hours with his be loved Egypt in a quiet balke line or three cushion game, with Charm ian nf marker and kisses for stakes. In a curious and very rare book pub lished a century ago the Chevalier Badella tells us all about the history of billiards which, he says, was intro duced into France in the twelfth cen tury. At that time the cushions as well as the balls were of ivory, and at court the bed of the tables was of the same costly material, so that the game was confined to tiie nobles, and the richest at that. It is a noble game yet. but a man does not need to be rich to play iu Anybody with a half dollar can trifle with it for a while, and may be longer, if he ;an expert. This same Chevalier Badella, who ap pears to have had some rem rkable sources of information, says that in the first excavations- made by the French government in the very ancient ruins of Ghizeh some fragments were found which were undoubtedly the re mains of a billiard table, not greatly unlike the tables of the present day in the material of the cushions, but they were octagonal in form. The remains were found in a chamber of a royal palace, and it is safe to say tiiat His Koyal Jags and the princely jaglets must have been very expert to play on a table that would give Slosson or Jake Schaefor paresis in thirty minutes. For tho sake of novelty some billiard manufacturer might construct a table after this Ghizeh model and see how it would work. A table with eight cushions ought to draw a big crowd.- Is the cellars of the Hotel de Ville at Bremen I here are some cafes of wine that have been preserved for 25 years.

A French paper has published a roll of honor of celebrated dogs which have distinguished themselves Iu war. This is not inappropriate, considering that the dog has been pressed into military service. For Instance, th re was Bob, the mastiff of the Grenadier guards, which made the Crimean campaign with that gallant corps; and also Whitepaw, "Patte Blanche," a brave French ally of Bob, that made the same campaign with the One Hundred and Sixteenth of the line, aud was wounded Id defending the flag. Another, Moustache, was entered on the strength of his regi ment as entitled to a grenadier's ra tions. The barber of bis company had orders to clip and comb him once a week. This gallant animal re ceived a bayonet thrust at Marengo and recovered a flag at Austerlitz. Marshal Lanncs had Moustache dec orated with a medal attached to his neck by a red ribtoii. Corps de Garde, a Norval among dogs, followed a soldier to Marengo, was wounded at Austerlitz and perished In the retreat from Russia. " The Sixth of the guard had a military mastiff uamed Miserc, which wore three) white stripes sewn on his black hair.

ABOUT TWILIGHT. It In tho Hour When Malaria Get In It Worst Work. The special danger of the sunset hour in malarial regions may be ow ng to the following conditions: 'I he microbes or spores concentrat at a level a little above the ground, exactly as one may observe the dust , of carriages in the road in a thick j horizontal layer settle on a warm, j moist evening; then there is no lift lug by ascending air currents, but a sort of beating down to a low level. and their coherence is caused by the ( disposition of vapor on the dust parti- jes as tne air cools. Thus, over a dried marsh ther would be great condensation of mi crobes, or spores, which could no longer disperse. They would gather -" v t.p,iv v u in u i a ill i, 1 1 , just as we see a ground fog 1b still, moist air after a warm day in au tumn; the organisms were given off while the surface of the ground was warm, and they accumulate a little above it as radiation carries off the heat and cools the lowest stratum o' tir. About sunset the earth is still warm and exhales moisture into the air above it, and with the earth vapor organisms are largely given off. The human body is at that time most susceptible to their action, because tho rapid cooling of. the skin drives the blood to the inner surfaces of the throat, and these congested inner surfaces favor the inuoculatlon by gcims drawn In with the breath. Later in the night the organisms have largely sunk by their own weight and that of deposited dew, and, moreover, the cooled body Is not so much ojien to the attack of germs remaining Iu the air.

Horticultural Times says it is also - very abundant In Scotland. Tho fungus is gathered In the hottest part of the year, and Is then hung up by a string iu the air to dry. Some are dry before gathered aud these are said to be far more narcotic than those artificially preserved. Usually j the fungus is rolled up, like a bolus and taken without chewing, for, if masticated, it is said to disorder the j stomach. Oue large or two small j fungi produce what is looked upon as a pleasant state of Intoxication for j one day. The effect Is the same as that produced on taking a quantity of spirits or wine, except it is de layed from one to two hours after the bolus has been swallowed. At first it produces very cheerful emotions of the mind. It renders some persons exceedingly active, and Is a stimu lant to muscular exertion. Thus, If a person affected by it wishes to step over a stiawora small stick it Im pels him to take a jump sufficient to clear a low hedge or the trunk of a tree.

Dl Skill saves a Coachload rreaa a Tribe t Indians. The heroism and bravery of Rubor. Emery is an exiiiuule to every school boy io Nebraska to-day, ay the Omaba Bee. Cage County, has the honor of being his home, and Beat rice the abiding place of his posterity. In 1884 Robert Emery was a stage driver along the St. Joe and Denver route. In August of that year oc curred the great Indian raid, when so many settlers lost their lives. There were nine passengers in his coach even men and two ladles. Although exceedingly dangerous, he offered to drive to Liberty farm, where his brother Charles lived. Tlie morning of August 9, 1864, was beau tiful. The sky was clear and cool and a refreshing breeze came up from the northwest. The coach left the station of Biw Sandy with its freight of human life drawn by four large and mettled steeds in which the driver had unbounded confidence and over them perfect control. The journey was without accident or un usual Incident until about 11 o'clock, up to which time no signs of Indians had been seen. But, Just as the lead horses had passed over the hill and were on a spur that led Into the bottom land, or valley this was narrow and bordered on either side by deep ravines, worn by the water and before the coach had commenced the descent the driver discovered a band of Indians about thirty rods in advance. lie wheeled the horses In an instant two rods farther on he could not have accomplrshed the turn and, laying whip to their backs, commenced an impetuous re treat. The passengers were terrified and were at once on their feet Emery said: "If you value your lives, for God's sake keep your seats, or we are lost-' The Indians, about fifty In num oer. gave chase with their terrifying yells and for about three miles, which were accomplished in about twelve minutes, pursued and pursuers made the most desperate efforts at speed. The savage yells of those blood thirsty villains and the wails of de spair of the men and women in the coach are past the power of pen to cescribe. But to the glory of the driver be It said that he was the only steadily-nerved and unexcited person in this memorable chase. The coach bristled with arrows, "like quills upon the fretful porcupine." They grazed young Emery on every side and cut the tarrett off the head of the wheel horse, but the young man heeded nothing but his driving. There were two points at which all would have been lost but if the driver's presence of mind. There were two abrupt turns in the road where the coach would have been thrown over bad he not brought the team to a halt and turned with care. This he did to the dismay of some of the passengers, who saw escape only in speed, but their subsequent praise uf hiH conduct was as great as his oourage was cool and calculating. ' ieorge Constable, who was conduct ing an ox train over the route, saw tiie coach about a mile ahad and at once corralled his twenty-five wag ons. The brave driver drove his nine passengers into this shelter and safe ly. Words could not express the iiratltude felt for their hero and de liverer. In the delirium of delight they embraced and kissed him, and thanked God that he had held the lines, and that they were in a iiosi 1 ion where they could not interfere. The noble steeds were not forgotten. The passeugers petted them and cast their arms alout their necks with feelings of grateful emotions. This memorable drive would never I toigotten, though not recorded here, for the story would be handed down to posterity by the succeeding generations of the saved. Tlie hero i if that day's chase won not his best laurels in that hour, for wherever he was known his gentle manner and kind deeds won for him a welcome in every heart, and wherever known there were praises heard. Devoid of loastful pretense, he wore meekly his well-deserved honors and silently carried a hero's heart. Ills health was frail and In about a year he w.is prostrated with fever, and while upon his deathbed, yet still conscious, Mrs. Randolph, one of the number be had saved from a horrible death, placed upon bis finger a beautiful gold ring, on which wati engraved the following: "E. Uniphry, ii. C. Randolph and Rat tle P. Randolph to Robert Emery, in acknowledgment of what we owe to his cool conduct and good driving on Tuesday. August 9, 1864." Soon af ter this he passed away from these scenes of warfare to the slUjnt and peaceful realm of the dead. The doc tor who attended bim in hia last ' hours eulogized him as a 6ilent hero ana one of the noblest of mankind. China's Empress nod tne Silk Jaduatr The Empress of China has recently taen endeavoring to give an impetus to the manufacture of silk in that country by starting a silk-weaviug de partment or ner own. one of her great motives for this step, according to a Shanghai correspondent, is to create an employment for the many millions of girls aud women who are at present excluded from all labor ex cept that of making embroideries and doing the lighter kinds of lmiisi work. The Emnrcss has had t h n... essary looms, skilled artisans and wo men trained in the manar?r-mnt nf silk-worms sent to the nalar r.f Pekina: from the inn rial sillr m m.. factory at Hang Chow.
