BY 81KBOBEBT BALT, ASTRONOMER ltOVAL OF IRELAND. Manv a boy who wonld like to learn something about tlie stars is deteried from an attempt by tha faetthat ho has not a telescope. Now in the first place I would like to tell such a one that he can teach himself a great deal that is very interesting about the stars with out any lelesojpe at all. rie can, for instance, begin by flnil iu j out the Pole star, and learn tho names of the different constellations, and also those of the principal bright stars which adorn them. To an intelligent yonth this ts a very interesting t.isk, suil as the seasons change tho ever vurying aspects of the heavens will af ford him endless occupation. When the constellations have bpea earned, the tatronomer, old or young, will find that they gladden hi view as each successive year, be comes to rec ognize them in their familiar places. Then, too, the plants off. r much useful htudy to tha astronomer, even if he has no teleseope. He can look out for the coming of Jupiter anil Mars; Le can watcli their strange move ments; be can follow with great interest the growing of Venus as tlie evening star, and shortly recognize the same body again as a morning star. But I wool J nevertheless encourage the beginner to endeavor by every worthy means in his power, to procure telescope, so that, while he must not neglect to make the simple observations with his unaided eye, he may alo be enabled to learn something of the more interesting features presented by the wonderful orbs of heaven. To illustrate how I his may bo done I ball tell how a bright little boy, not now more than ten years old, got over the difficulty, and actually made a tele scope for himself which he could use with good effect for observing either in heavens or on the earth. At first sight you might think this impossible. Yon have seen the smart looking telescopes, with t eir bright brass tabes and their beautiful work manship, in the t-hopa of the opticians, and you may think it well nigh impos sible that a child could produce a piere of apparatus for which so much mechanical skill was required. It must, however, be observed that the really essential parts of a telescope are comparative ly few and qnite simple, unljas optical perfection is looked for. The necessary portions of the instru ment are a tube furnished with a glass lens at one end, and another smaller glass lens at the other. The little boy to whom I refer had often seen good telescopes, and no doubt he thought it would be very nice to have a telescope all for himself. The first thing to be done was to get the larger glass lens which was to form which is called the object glass. Mo doubt for a good telescope this honld be made of two lenses of two different kinds of glass, most carefully shaped and put together; bnt this was beyond the boy's capacity. He knew nothing about wlmt is called achromatism. He manxgnd, however, to possess himself of one of the lenses out of an old magic lantern; at least, this is what he uf-ed in one of his first attempts; but afterward some one gave him a rather larger lens, like one of those which, when pnt in a little frame and furnished with a handle, is used for magnifying photographs. The tuWe for this very jirimi ive in strument was made out of brown parv-r, which, when covered with paste, was rolled roan. I a tin can- that happened to be about the right size. It was dried before the fire, and thej the lens was fitted into the end. Ihusone part of the home made teleseopi;, anil that by far the most important part, was pro Tided. iet be hal to prorvire th eye piece for the other end. This is a comparatively simple matter. All that is absolutely wanted is a small lens like one of thoso often carried in the pocket to be used as magnifying glasses. 1 believe the li tie; boy's first instru ment was fitted with one of the lenses taken from a broken pair of spectacles given to him by an old lady. This was fasteued into a smill tube made of paper in the way tl at I have al ready describe I. To adjust the rmull tube to the end ot the lartre one, with she help of cardbourd an ! pa&te, wns uot a matter of much ititlienlty. It was i eeesiiry to arrange it t-o that the tube conld bo drawn iu and out for the purpose of focusing. Tims the telescope wns complete. Then came the question of the stand by w hi -h it was to be supported. This a provided by the aid of a litile primitive carpentry. However, I do not tLink the Btand was quite so sue cessTnl as the telescope proved to be. It seemed to be dii-c-inled soon, and when I have seen the telescope it ban generally been fctnek between the rails of a cane chair. It conld be directed at any height and placed in any posi tion, and with this very unusual style of mounting, the advantages of the vielding paper tube were obvious. It enabled the telescope to be pointed just where it was wanted. Great was the) delight of my little friend when he had a telescope all his own and made by himielf; and many an hour has he spent am using hiinseli with it. Of conrse I need hnrdly say that such a contrivance has no pretensions to tie n instrn-neut for accurate ob servations. Still, it is a veritable tele no pe. for does not the meaning of this word M.-nify an npplianc for looking at things which are far oil? It is the property of a telescope t rednce the apparent distance, and how the objects as if they were nearer at band. This the little brown paper tnbe certainly does. It is true that, with such apologies for lenses, the dis tart object is not defined perfectly, bnt, nevertheless, it can be seen well enough for many purposes. One of its most frequent employ ments in the hands of its young pos sessor is to help him to observe the signal ts on a distant line of rail way. These signals are too far to be vbible to the naked eye, bnt thev can bo seen quite well with the rude littlo telescope. Aly yonng friend often tiLds unicb entertainment in stndyiu'r tho progress of the trains as indicated bv the moving of the signals, viewed teUicopically. Then, too, at night, the cane chair is r-roiight to the window, and tbo isantis of stars invisible to the unaided eye am be seen with the telescope, not withstanding its imperfections. Manv a little lesson in astronomy has the jnvenile a'-'ioafmo- taught himself by its aid. I thiuk the use of his telescope whieh interested him most is that indioatod by the title at the bead of this paper. It so hnpeued that, at the close of the year 1891, the son was in a highly perturbed condition, and an unusual number of spots were visible on its surface. Some of these spots were of very Urge dimensions. They are not visible to the unaided eye, but it re quires very little optical aid to render them perceptible with the telescope. Onr youn astronomer was des'rous of seeing what bis telescope conid show on the sun; but as be had often employed a li ns as a burning glass, he had learned enongh to know that he conld not safely put his eye to the tnbe of his telescope when it was di rected to the great luminary. He had been reading my little book called "St-irland," in which I uve endeavored to descrilie in as simple, a manner as I could the jTinoipal f-irts with respect to the henveuly bodies. He had teen in "Starland'' a picture showing the way in whioli the sun can be safely observed. A sheet of paper is held in front of the eye and of the instrument, and by altering the foens of the telescope clearly defined image of the sun can be thrown oo the paper. This image is not too bright to look at, and a very pleasing view of the solar surface can be thus ubtaiued. If there happen to bo any spots on the sun at the time, they will be apparent as dark marks on the brilliant white circle. I do not suppose the sun was ever before examined with so quaint an apparatus as it was on that dav of November when the little boy adjusted bis tube ofj brown paner, and held a white card to receive the picture. Great was his delight to see not only the image of the sun, but an unmis takable black spot. He hue a fairly good notion of how to use his pencil, and so he forthwith drew a little sketch showing the posi tion of the spot, and then taking his diagram to a mature friend who had the use of a powerful telesoope, he asked whether he was not right. To the little fellow's intense pleasure the great instrument when turned on the sun verified the existence of the spot. He was allowed to complete hia sketch with the help of the large tele scope, which showed the way in which the spot was shaded. Thus you see how this little boy, ten years old, not only discovered sun spot, but did sj with a telescope that was fashioned by his own hands Of course a little instrument so con structed is wautingin all optical refine ment The stars as shown by it seem to be flashing with bright colors which really they do not possess, and they are decorated with rays and tails that have no natural existence. I think, however, you will agree that this little instru ment has bad its use. It has taught the little owner more a bo at lenses and the principles on which telescopes are constructed, than I e would have learned if he bad been presented with a costly instrument from the optician. If he ever becomes an astronomer, 1 doubt if any further discovery will afford him more sincere pleasure than be bad the day he dis covered the sun-spot with his home made telesoope.

You wcu'd tbii k to to if ad the ex preissious from the pens cot brains cf some of t!it i;e wise ones that all a pirl had to do in an office was to sit and aaiile sweetly, charmingly dressed, and do the agreeable thius generally. Well, I should be pleased to visit an office of this kind. think the majori ty of my fellow-workers would also like to. uch offices i.re few and far be tween. The real office la an entirely dlffeu nt place. To be sure one is ex pected to be polite and agreeable, ex pected to be a ladv while at business t ie same as out of It, ju t as a man ia expected to be a geutlem.in, and we are always ready to do so, but the ri-s:i of I'lHin-sa of the modern down-town office can not be met and disposed of by sweetly smiling and charmingly dre'sed as.-ist:ints. The quick, attentive mind and nimble finger? are heeded and the clicking ma chine will do more to wiu your way In the esteem and confidence of your em ployers than all the sweet smiles and pretty gowns wit out these requisites. It is time for all this nonsense to ce.i'e, and ih- indignant typewilterhaa awakened to a sen- ot her rights and h.is said, "it sha I stop." The aiuiy of intelligent girls whoare earmt a an hone it living whj have v( rked, and wor :ed har I, to make tl:em.-elve9 proficient anil capable offlje assistants will njt auuxit to be thus p.itron'zed. They hav, by dint of perseverance and ability, made a niche in this very high wall of woman's progress for fiemselvea, and now they claim it aa their right to hold the place thev have won regardless i f the jil-ea, cumed by the fear of being left In the race than for any other reason. The typewriter is not an abused pet son, neither is she an inane, giggling piece of sweetness, but an earnest, brave toilerin the ranks f bread-win-lier?, asking but jtn: ice and sure of obtaining it, and willing ti give n re turn luulnuent, hon: st service. The argument adv.-m eil by some In c iued to view this innovation of girls with disfavor, th-.it by and by they will crowd out the boy?, is one of the very et-ongest proofs of their ability and worth. And while we extend our sympathy to f'ese poor unfortunates, and can understand their feelings or chagrin at being bea'en by a girl, still we persist In our belief that tliii la a country of liberty for women ns well as Tor men, in most thin and the future w II, I am confident, I ring still greater Ireedom, and If the v ne develops t t r than cliuulng propeitles, and demon strates her ability to do more thau twine about the oak, so be it. A few days since I notice 1 an article written by a woman, I am very soiry to say, complaining th.it the young and pretty ty pe writer was Liven the pre ference by business njen, and that old'T and plainer women had no ch'iticp. 1 he writer evidently belongs to a class who expect, because they are women, they mutt receive more at ten ton and consideration, and receive the ame salary aa a man without doing the sa ue amount of woik, or doing it as we.

THE AZTEC CALENDAR STONE. f Whether the civilization of the Mox ' icana found by Cortez and his follow ers be derived from the Aztecs, or aa is more probable, from the Tel tecs, who preceded them, is a mooted point. But oertain was it that it was consider able. One of the most carious relics of an cient Mexico, and an incontrovertible proof of the intellectual attainments ot its people in the beautifully carved 'one, kno.vn as the "Azeo Calendar Stone" which btill rests where it waa placed centuries ago In the heart of the city of Mexi -o, in tho I'lasa Maytr, which is one of I hi fluet public squares in the western world. IJore, nailer Aztec, or perhaps even under Tolteo rule stood the preat Teoc-illi, or tem ple; and here boilt over and pirtly of its ruins now rss the spaoio is and imposing cnhe rrat erectod by tha conquering Spaniards. In front of thisoitbelral now reposes as ouch it reposed before the bea'hen templn of hnman sacrifice the beauti ful "KsdeDda" or calendar stone, cov eted with the hieroglyphics whieb show to what an advanced staeof astronom ical knowledge the early Mexicans had arrived. In the measurement of time the Az tec adjusted their civil year by the solar. They divided it into eighteen months of twenty days each. Both moutln and days were expressed by peculiar hieroglyphics those of the former often intiinatiug the season of the year, like the Frenoh months at tho period of tb Revolution. Five complementary days, as In Egypt, were added to ma'te the fall numher of 3t5. They lelougod to no month nnd were n gurdod as peculiarly un lucky. A month was divided into fonr weeks, of five dav each, on the last of which waa tho i ub'io fair or market day. This arrangement, different from that of the nations of the old continent, whether of Europe or Asia, lias tho advantage of giving an equal number of days to each month and of comprehending entir.i weeks, with out a fraction, both in the months and in the year. As the year is composed of nearly six hours more than 3(55 days, there still remained an excess which, like other nations who h-tve framed a oil endar they provided for by intercal ation; not indeed every fourth year veirastho Europeans, bnt at loncer intervals like some of the Asiatics. They waited till the expiration of fifty-two vague years, when they inter posed thirteen days, or rather twelve and a half, this being the number which bad fallen in arrear. Had tbey inserted thirteen it would have been too much, since the annual excess over :'G is about eleven minntes less than s x hours. But as their calendar at the time of the conquest waa fonnd to cor respond with the. Knropean, making allowance for the subsequent Gregorian reform, they would seem to have adopted the shorter period of twelve days and a half, which brought them within an almost inappreciable frac tion, to the ex ct length of the trop ical year, ns established by the most accurate of observations. Indeed, the intercalation of twenty five days in every iDljeirs, shows a nicer adjust ment of civil to solar time than is pre sented by any Knropean calendar: since more tban five centuries must elapse before the loss of an entire day. Snch was the astonishing precision displayed bv the Aztecs, or perhaps by their polished Tolteo predecessors in these computations Their chrono logical system was reckoned corres ponding "with the year 10!1 of the Christian era. It was the period ol the reform of their calendar, soon after their migration from Azatlan. They threw tLe yeirs, as already noticed, mto great cycles of fifty-two each, which they called 'sh9afs," or 'bnudles," and represented by a quan tity of reeds, bonnd together by a string. As often as this hieroglyphic occurs in their maps, it shows the number ot half centuries. To enable them to specify any par ticular year, they divided the great cycle into four smaller cycles or initia tions of thirteen years each. They then adopted two periodical series ol signs, one consisting of their numer ical dots up to thirteen; the other of four hieroglyphics of the years. These hieroglyphics were a rabb t. r-'ed, a Hint, a house. They vert taUeu as symbolical of the four e:e ments air, water, tire, earth, accord ing to Vevtia. It is not easy to see the couueetiou between the terms rab bit and air, which lead the respective ser es. The four hieroglyphics they repeated in regular succession, setting against each one a number of the cor responding series of dots, continued alto in regular succession up to thir teen. The same system was pursued through the fonr indictious, which thus it will be observed, began always with a different hieroglyphic of the year from the preceding; and in th's way each of the hieroglyphics was m ule to combine successfully with each of the numerical signs, but never twice with the same; snce four aid thirteen, the factors of fifty-two tho number oi years in a circle most admit of just as many combinations as are equal to their prod uot. Ihns every year had its appropriate symbol by which it was at once recognized. And this symbol preceded by the proper namber of "bundles," indicating the half centu ries, showed the precise time which had elapsed since the national epoch of 1 01 1. 'I he i igenions contrivance of a periodic al series, in place of the cum brous sy i teal of bieroglyphical no tation, is not peculiar to the Aztecs and is to be found among various people on the Asiatic continent the same in principle, though varying materially in arrangement. In addition to the solar calendar, as above described, the Aztec priests bad nother called a 4,iunar reckouiug," though in nowise aecommoila ed to the revolutions of the moon. It wnt formed also of two periodical series. '.-j means of this cale. dar, the priesU kept their own records, regulated the festivals and seasons of sacrifice and made all calculations Tho astrologioal scheme of of the As'ecs was founded less on the planetary influences tban n those of the arbitrary eigns they hid adopted for tuc months and days. We know of no astronomical instru ments used by them except the dial. The calendar stone i as it is called) shows thev had the rueaus of settiug tho hours of the day with precision, the periods of the solstices and the eqni noxes,aud that of the transit of the sun across the zenith of Mexico. There have lx?en propounded, from lime to time, theories that the calendar stone of the Aztecs is in reality a repre sentation ot the mariner's compass, and i to be accepted as proof that t- e Aztecs canio from Asian coasts or Pa cific islands. There does cot seem hs yet to be any valid reason for consid ering these theories seriously. Two newc:tstotiins, MlssR.F. Han cock and Miss M. Li.

Languor and bea-iache In a girl may eem a slight malady to a teacher used to the subjugation of her own feelings;, but it will not do to take this ground. Headaches mean functionsout of order, and tne way to harmonize physical re lations is not to treat them as if noth ing was the matter. Tha headaches of thi schoolgirl have a relation to the hysterical breaking down of mature womanhood, and neglect of the early symptoms makes it no easier to cure final derangements. The indulgent mothers are nearer right then the strict teachers, as long as the food of children remains what it is. When the system is oppressed with digestive injuries, steady tasking the brain is a sore way to overthrow the nerves altogether. The harm done young poople by bad feeding and trit schooling together has laid tha train for many a middle age of im yatred usefulness and invalidism. At boarding schools, where the fare is of various degrees of nnwholosome plainness, headaches and hysterics firing from two causes indigestion and want of fresh air. The diet of schools and students everywhere needs special supervision, which it will not have till the skill ot the physician, cook and gastronome combine in one person. .Doctors are not so far out of the way when they ordain for ill nourished rich girls the le ist amount of study which will be tolerated by school authorities. They see further into life than college presi dents and do their best to make the frail outfit of strength last into the future. Nature's instinct for self-preservation prompts much of tho shirking which tries the souls of high minded teachers. Let them take this enconr agement to heart and make themselves allies of nature instead of waging per petual wasting war upon her. Simpli fy study to the last degree, shorten tasks till tbey cannot be burdensome. Then insist on recitations being letter perfect and the pupils able to give a good explanation of what they learn, potting it at onoeto some practical test as the only infallible way of fixing it in mind.

It took stout, beef eating Englishmen 'o wage Cromwell's revolution, ami squally well fed descendants to raise jur own. At the rate our people are physically falling oft it Is doubtful if they will ever raise spirit for active protest against the most atrocious har dens again. Experience proves beyond question that the condensed activity of modern life cannot be kept np without ample supplies of the food whioh is readiest sonvorted into nerve foroe, and that is beef and mutton and other flesh which feeds on grain and grass, and also cereals and milk. The latter is a most important food, supplying the mater ial needed for making tissue in the limplest form and the most easily issimilated.

Let pastry en tirely alone. Von do not need it. l'ou have eaten enough. For supper par take of fruit sauce and cereals. Prink chocolate if yon find it agrees. Wdh this diet yoi will ga;n strength faster than with more meat and loss fruit. You will not lay on fat, bnt mufcle, and yonr whole physical economy will grow without being constantly irritate! or clogged. Rollin, speaking of the athletes of Greece, says that their chief food was figs, nuts, soft cheese and coarse bread. Modern Greeks are peculiarly athletic, and their food is black bread, with a bnnch of grapes and some tigs. The boatmen of Constantinople rejoice in a splendid physical development, yet their diet is chiefly bread, with cher ries, figs, dates, mulberries or other fruit. In short, the experience of man kind shows that simple food, including mnch fruit, conduces to strength and longevity. Ot fruits in America the apple takes first rauk, an 1 it is fortunately the most plentiful. It is among fruits what wheat is among cereals. It con tains everything necessary for nutri ment and has the advantage of being easily digested. The stomach can dis pose of it in eighty-five minntes. Ripo apples, pears and plums, all eaten raw, correct acidity of the stomach by salts contained in themselves. The finest physique Dr. Maurice ever knew was one "built from childhood on milk, fruit, corn and wheat." This was how the cannibals used to feed the children designed for thoir great feasts. The fruit, cereal and milk diet made the flesu particularly tender, healthy and appetizing. These cannibals kne a thing or two. The person Dr. Maurice mentions has "absolutely perfect di gestion.'' That person ongbt to go around for a show for the bouefit of his fellow-coiintrymeu. They would pay w ell to see one who had absolutely per fect digestion and it would be worth the money.
