As is well known the velocity of a star In the lane of sight can be found by measuring the displacement of the lines visible in the star’s spec- trum. Now, the stars near the position of the solar “apex” should be ap- proaching the earth on account of the tolar motion, and those at the opposite point of the sky, called the “ant apex,” should be rececing. This method has been employed by several astronomers, especially by Vo- gel at the Potsdam observatory. This able astronomer has found from an ex- amination of 40 stars that the sun's velocity through space is about miles a second, but an examination of a larger number of stars would be nec- before we could consider this result as thoroughly established. ‘rom an examination of the spectra of 14 nebule Professor Keeler of the Lick observatory has found velocities in the line of sight, and from these the French astronomer Tisserand has de- duced a velocity of about 9 1-3 miles for the solar motion, a result which does not differ widely from that found by Vogel. We may therefore perhaps conclude that the velocity of the sun’s motion through space is between 6 and 12 mfles per second.—Gentleman’s Magazine. ” 4 Hard on the Burglar. “There is a family in my town,” said a Baltimore man, “where the children are all boys. They are very rich, and each of the three sons is in receipt of a iberal allowance, but the manner in which they expend it and certain of their characteristics were as succinct- ly and tersely described as possible the other day by Bob, the eldest one, in telling the story of a burglary that oc- curred last summer at their country place. ond and Albert the youngest son.

There is little doubt, how- ever, that its birthplace was in India and that it is an offspring of a game ealled chaturanga, which is mentioned in oriental literature as in use fully <00 years before the Christian era. From India chess spread into Persia. and thence into Arabia, and ultimately - the Arabs took it into Spain and the rest of western Europe. The game was in all probability in- | the department. vented for the purpose of illustrating | the art of war. The Arab legend upon this point is that it was devised for , | these men keep the walks and prome- the instruction of a young despot by his father, a learned Brahman, to teach him .that a king, notwithstanding his power, was dependent for safety upon his subjects. The Greek historians credit the invention of the game to Palamedes, who, they claim, devised it to beguile the tedium of the siege of Troy during the Trojan war. i Where Quinine Is Good. Dr. Crosse, in an article in The Lan- cet on blackwater fever, incidenially calls attention to the fact that it is not wise for those who have an idiosyncra- Sy against quinine or who suffer from even slight albuminuria to go to mala- rious climates. He believes that in the more malarious districts at least five grains of quinine should be taken a day to prevent chronic malarial poison- ing. This he considers necessary in ad- dition to ordinary precautions in re- gard to exposure to chills, wet and the sub and as to moderation in eating and drinking. Confuting an Impossibility. “I want to see Mrs. Smythe,” said the visitor. “You can’t,” said the servant. “She , has the toothache.” vestigate probably scared him off, but when we discovered the next morning that a burglar had visited us we natu- rally took an account of stock. The only rooms in the house he had entered were those of my two brothers and myself, and in each of them he had gone through the clothes we had been wearing the day before. Out of my clothes he got 10 cents, from Jack he got nothing, and in going through Bert’s jeans he got in debt.’”—New York Tribune. An Old Timer. A crowd of young men were seated in one of the steamboat offices in the city the other afternoon while an old steamboat veteran regaled them with Stories about old times on the Missis- | sippi and reminiscences of old time cit- izens. “Did you know eld Bill Jones?” ask- ed one of the men, after the captain had finished relating how he ran a gantlet of Indians with his boat way back in the forties. "Member Bill Jones? Well, I guess 1 did,” replied the captain. “Let’s see, he died just after the war. He wasa cood old fellow too. I knew his father before be was married to Bill's moth- or.” One of the boys thought the old man was “doping” and by way of tripping him up on his Gaies asked, “Cap, how fh ita = The average clergy. man is not a healthy man.

Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery restores the appetite, makes digestion and assimilation perfect, invigorates the liver, utifies the blood and tones the nerves. It is the greatest of all known bigod-makers and flesh-ouilders. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption and diseases of the air passages. Thousands who were given up by the doctors and had lost all hope have testified to their complete re- covery under this marvelous medicine. It is the discovery of an eminent and skillful specialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Inva‘ids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. ¥. All medicine deaiers sell it. “Bight years ago I was taken with what m doctor called liver complaint,.’’ writes N.

Did You Ever See a Horse Cry? Many people believe that horses do not weep, but those who h..ve much to do with these faithful creatures know that on several occasions they will shed tears as well as express sorrow in the most heartbreaking manner. In the west, where the hardiness of the ponies causes the riders to almost over- look the necessity of providing for their needs, it is quite common when the weather is extremely cold to leave an unblanketed pony tied up for two or three hours when the temperature is nearly zero and while its owner is transacting business or getting drunk. In this case the suffering is evidenced by the cries, which are almost like sobs, and unmistakable tears freeze on to the cheeks like icicles. When a horse falls in the street and gets injured, the shock generally numbs the senses so much that it does not ei- ther cry or groan, but under some con- ditions an injured horse will solicit sympathy in the mest distinct manner. I remember a favorite horse of my own which trod on a nail long enough to pierce its foot. The poor thing hob- bled up to me on three legs and cried as nearly like a child in trouble as any- thing I can describe. The sight was a very touching one, as was also the crip- pled animal’s gratitude when the rail was pulled out and the wound dressed, —S8t. Louis Globe-Democrat, A Cure That Killed, Notwithstanding the spread of edu- cation in Galicia, superstition is still alive among the Polish peasantry. The wife of a well to do country man in Nieporenta, Kaspar Kafka, had a ma- lignant ulcer and was in a very dan- gerous state. Her husband decided to call ip a shepherd renowned for bis wonderful hesling powers. The latter, having examined his pa- tient, proceeded to tie her left elbow to her right knee and her left knee to her right elbow, announced that she was possessed with a devil and direct- ed them to aneint the ulcer with a mixture of soft soap and 15 chopped hairs from a horse's tail. If the pa- tient screamed, it was the devil screaming within her, and she was to be left alone, securely bound to the bed, that she might not remove the appliance. He then took his fee and left. His orders were conscientiously ear- ried out, with the result that after a night of indescribable agony the poor woman died of exhaustion.—Cracow Letter in Chicago Record. Paragtay’s Particular Fleas. Perhaps the plague in Paraguay is merely an attack of pigue, or sand flea. This insect is called nigua in the native language. In 1870 it killed a whole colony of Englishmen, consisting of 200 families, turning the colony. which was at Itaps, into a cemetery. A Ger- man colony at Acegua was driven out. The pigue causes buboes and attacks the warmest parts of the body—tlat ts, the cavities and the groin and armpit— just the same spots as the eastern plague. It attacks Englishmen and Germans preferentially and avoids those that use but little soap. Soaps clean the body, and the pigue likes clean persons to eat. It also avoids 9 Pleasant Pellets. people who eat more or less peisonous food. A m&An saturated with alcohols, Boca gin, nicotine-and Paseo de Jullo cookery is pretty well safe from the sand flea.—Buenos Ayres Herald. Governors Island, There is a large expanse of rolling sward on Governors island kept at all times in the pink of condition. This . little island off Battery park is con- ceeded to be the best kept army post on | the Atlantic coast. There are two | reasons for this. Fort Columbus is the headquarters of the department of the east. It must assume an appearance in keeping with its high standing in It also has a military prison, and the convicts sent there for terms of months or years are sentenced to hard labor. Under the supervision of sentinels nades scrupulously clean and the sward closely clipped and free from falling leaves and other litter. They also give proper attention to the vari- ous buildings and their immediate sur- roundings.—New York Preas. Applause and Criticism. It was after the piano recital, and the audience was still applauding. There were twe English women, though, whe did not clap their hands. But they commented in tones that were audible for some distance around thus: “The poor man! Will they make him play again?” “Isn’t it awful the way the Ameri- cans applaud? It’s so vulgar!’ “Yes; it’s the most vulgar thing they do.” And the Americans took meekly their lesson in manners.—New York Com- mercial Advertiser. a — aa See eR aS EAK AND.... PUNY CHILDREN Become Strong and Healthy by using Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Food. Children are frequently left weak and sickly as an after result of measles, scarlet fever, etc., and in this state are easy prey to nervous disorders, rickets, spinal disease, or comsump- tion, diseases which do net affect robust, healthy children. The blood is weak and watery and the nerves improperly nourished. Feed the blood and nerves with Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve Food, and the pale, pinched faces will soon become rosy and plump, and tiredness and weakness will give sf to strength and animation. Mr. E. W. Day, 62 Close Avenue, Toronto, writes: ‘‘My eldest daughter, aged eight, be- came very much run down. Her fretful, ner- vous, sleepless condition greatly alarmed her parents. She was taken from school, and in spite of the best nursing, the thin, weakened, bloodless face grew painfully worse, Fortun- ately we used Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. An improvement became apparent in a few days, it continued, and in a few weeks she returned to school built up anew, and greatly to our joy fully restored to health.” Dr. A. W.
