?wr~ THE SKIES OF JUNE. A Bunch ot Brilliants to be Seen at Nights. Of the fourteen stars of the first magnitude which may be seen at out* time or another by an ob server in tlie mean latitudeof the United States eight will Is* above the horizon at 9 o'clock this even ing. A returns, the Rear-warden, the principal star in Bootes, the Herdsman, will then be very near ly south, at a point well up to ward the zenith. Midway be tween this star and the horizon, a little father west, stands Spiea, the Wheat-ear, in the constella tion Virgo, bow in the south east is the ruddy Antares, the "Scorpion's Heart," the rival in color of the planet Mars (Ares), as its name indicates. In the west, at one-thi"d of the distance from horizon to zenith, is Ilegu lus, the* 4" Lion's Heart," the brightest star in I^eo and the jewel in the handle of the Sickle, i which forms the Lion's head and j shoulders. Rarely above the' horizon?too low to be visible? I at a point between north and northwest, is Capella, the She-1 goat, the principal star in Auriga, j the Wagoner, and photometri cally the brightest star 111 the northern hemisphere, .lust about setting the northwest are the Twins, Gemini, of which the more northerly, Castor, is a bright second-magnitude star, while the somewhat brighter Pollux ranks as a first-magnitude. In mid heavens in the northeast stands; Vega, the principal star in the! Lyre. Just risen in the east, but scarcely vet visible, is Altair, in the Kagie. The brilliant ruddy j star a short distance east of I lb gulus is the planet Mars. CONSTELLATIONS. A few of the constellations now visible, ancient or modern, arej sufficiently well marked to be! pointed out without the aid of a chart. The Sickle has already been located. It will serve to lo cate also the old constellation l.eo. Very nearly overhead is the well-known Great Hipper, the l'low of our English cousins, the old-time Charles' Wain. Though often referred to as the Great Bear, Ursa Maior.it forms, strict ly speaking, only a portion of that rather mystifying constella tion?the hindquarters and the decidedly unbearlike tail. The brilliant Vega serves to locate the Lyre, a small triangular con stellation which can easily be made out. Below and at the left of the Lyre is the Swan, Cygaus, better known as the Northern Cross, and by this designation easy to recognize. A returns, j Spica, Denebola?a bright second magnitude star in the Lion's tail, nearly midway from Itegulus to Arcturus ? and Cor Caroli, I Charles' Heart, a third-magni tude star at about t hree-fifths of the distance from Denebola to the end star in the handle of the Dipper?these four stars form a large lozenge-shaped figure known as the Diamond of Virgo. In the upper portion of this dia mond. between Denebola and Cor Caroli, lies the beautiful sprinkling of small stars known as Coma Berenices, Bernice's Hair. At about one-third of the dist auce from Arcturus to Vega is the beautiful Northern Crown, a nearly complete oval of six or seven stars, of which the bright -x ii. ..ii . . .1 >c i.!.,. yy i . est, uie i rjik i ui Lue vruwii, in of the second magnitude. Be tween Spica and the southwest ern horizon stands the Crow, Corvus, and the Cup, Crater, I which, though formed of rather faint stars, are quite noticeable objects. The Cup, the more west erly of the two, is a very passable goblet, though a little lop-sided. Its be wl, which opens to theeast, has about the size of the North ern Crown. THE PLANETS. Mercury has Iteen an evening star since May 14, and bv the first of this month it should be come visible as such, on a clear evening, a half hour or so after ] sunset. Ixtok for it near the horizon at a point a little north of west. Venus has Vev>nan evening star since April 30, and should soon be far enough from the sun to become visible. Imposition (ap parent ) now iB between Mercury and the sun. The latter planet will, therefore, be the first of the two to itecome visible. Mercury will continue to l?e seen at a greater altitude than Venus until .July 1. when, in drawing in to ward the sun, it will come mto conjunction with the brighter planet Mars is still an interesting even ing star, in the constellation I-eo, though its ruddy light is much ess brilliant than when the planet was at ith nearest to us, in Feb ruary. The |>osition of the planet >11 the first of this mouth is about ten degrees east of the star ltegu lus. During the month it will move some fifteen degrees farther east. Jupiter, in Sagittarius, and Saturn in the sameconstellation, ten or twelve degrees father east, are both evening stars, ri ing shortly after ft o'clock. My the close of ttie month both of these planets will have become conspic uous objects in theearlv evening, low in the southeast. I ranus. in the Scorpion, rises an hour and a half before Jupiter. It is situa ted about ten degress northeast of Antares, and is easily visi ble through an opera-glass.?Phila delphia Record. Life's Best Days. The venerable pastor and great preacher, Dr. Richard S. Storrs, speaks this cheering word of testimony: '?I had as happy a childhood as falls tothelotof most children, and many a time it has been said of me by those who were visiting at mv father's house; 'This is the happiest time in life for you.' I did not believe it as I grew older, and I know now that it was not true. "The happiest time in your life is to come hereafter. If you do that which is right and useful to others, that which is honor able to yourself, and that which is for the glory and praise to fiod, every year of your life will be happier than that which went before it. "So do not feel that you are entering an oppressive, grinding, hateful world. Life on earth grows better and sweeter as one goes 011 in it, and what you are to try to do is to try to make a success of that life, each one of you."? Kx. Dyspeptics cannot be long lived because to live requires nourish ment. Food is not nourishing until it is digested. A disordered stomach cannot digest food, it must have assistance. Kodol Hvspepsia Cure digests all kinds of food without aid from the stomach, allowing it to rest and regain its natural functions. Its elements are exactly ttie same as the natural digestive fluids and it simply can't help but do you good. J. R. Ledbetter, Hare & Son, Hood Bros. Wanted to Lynch Aguinaldo. Hempstead (Qa.) Cor. Moultrie Observer. Two of our prominent citizens who live within a thousand miles of where the writer is domiciled met in the public road the other day, when the following conver sation occurred: "What's the news?" "They'vecaptured \guinaldo." "Captured who?" "Aguinaldo." "What's he been doing?" "Killing folks." (Excidedly,) "Who has lie kill ed?" "Oh, lots of people." "Where is the scoundrel?" "He's in jail." (More excited.) "Let's get a crowd and lynch him." "It would be to expensive." "Expensive! What's going to make it expensive?" "He's too far off." "Why, ain't he in Moultrie juil?" "Not a bit of it." "Well, where is he, then?" "He's in jail at Manila." "You mean Camila, don't you?" << ?T . I 1 . V wj, i mean waai i say. "How far is it? "About 8,000 miles." "Get up, Jack." As he moved off he was heard to ejaculate: "Got no time to talk with even fool I meet in the road. Eight thousand miles! Why, that's clean outside of Georgy. Agui naldo? Don't believe there is such a man in the world. Never heard of such a place as Manhil ler before. These fellows what don't do nothing but read news papers are mighty smart. Get up, Jack; lost half hour talking with that slop head when 1 ought to been home planting taters. You may as well expect to run a steam engine without water as to find an active energetic man with a torpid liver anil you may know that his liver 1btorpid when he does not relish his food, or feels dull and languid after eat ing, often has headache and some times dizziness. A few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets will restore his liver to its normal functions, renew his vitality, improve his digestion and make him feel like a new man. Price 25 cents.

FOR THE UTTLE ONES. '. "Observation" It an Instructive as Well as Amusing Game. One of the best games for a com I pany of young people is the game I of "observation.' In the middle of the room ad joining the one in which the com pany is to assemble place a round table, and on it put 25 small arti cles, no matter what?just such things as may be found around the house. The only care necessary i ; to see that they are as different from each other as possible. Make a list of the articles and keep it concealed, for reference at the proper time. Provide as many sheets of paper as there are members of the compa ny, and down the lpft hand margin of each sheet write the number from 1 to 25. Koep the door of the adjoining room closed until you are ready to*begin the game, so that no one may see what is on the table. At the proper time open the door and let everybody go in and look at ! the articles from three to five min utes, telling them that they are to make a list of them afterward from ] memory. I A Kind Fox Terrier. "A remarkable instance of kind ness was shown by my little fox ter rier dog Tom," writes the owner of the animal, "who is chained in the poultry yard to protect the fowls from thieves. "We have two roosters much giv en to fighting, and ufter many bat | ties one lost an eye and had a ; I wounded head, so all the fowls turn ; < ed against him, and his enemy, the black cock, chased him about and ' much abused him till the pool ' thing took courage and ran to the dog for protection. "Tom took a great liking to the [ poor hunted cock, and whenever he ' came to him for refuge he wagged ? his tail and kept the tormenters at bay. lie even allowed himself to share his food with him, bones and nil, and was in every way a true friend to the helpless bird. "Such a lesson as this from n ! dumb animal might well be learned by boys and girls." I I Dangerous Hide and Seek. The little Eskimos play hide and seek among the icefields just as the boys and girls of warmer climes in dulge in it in the streets and yards; but, awful to relate, they have to set one member of the company as a \ lookout for polar hears. Perhaps they are so familiar with these aui- j mals that the danger does not scare them. But doesn't it make your liair stand on end to think of the possi bility of running rapidly around the corner of an iceberg to get to the goal first and running straight into the arms of a groat white monster? ?Minneapolis Journal.

And strike three times on the bottom for me; t Then top and bottom you strike very fast And open a door in the middle at last. ?St. Nicholas. 1 Dreams of Illusion.
