BuckWheat.

Buckwheat is used for food for man
and domestic animals in various coun-
tries in Europe. In some parts of the
United States it is extensively grown
for fattehing sheep and swine, but it is
generally used in this country for hot
buck wheat cakes during the rigors of
winter. Its fattening qualities are
superior to most other grains. 1t is
used in various ways in different parts
of Europe. The -four is commonly
mixed with that of rye or wheat in
most parts of the continent of Europe,
by both public and private bakers. In
SaxOny, Brandenberg and Silesia,
buc kwheat forms part or whole of all
the three daily meals of the lower
class, and at least two of the daily meals
of the wealthiest classes. The dish of
boiled buck kwheat -four is. the staple
TODD OF the peasantry in Germany and
other countries of Europe and various
preparations Of it figure prominently
on the tables of the rich. Millions of
German and Austrian peasan nts not
only thrive upon it, but are as healthy,
and vigorous a race as any
in Europe.

The Dog Star.

In the mid-southern sky during
February, You will see the brightest
star in the whole heayens-Sirius, the
famous Dog star. The constellation
CAMS MAJOR, the Greater Dog (Which
might much better be called simply
Canis), was one of Orion's hunting
dogs, CAMS Minor being the other; but
we can hardly suppose Lepus was the
sole prey pursued by so great a giant
and two such fine dogs. The constel-
l1tion CAMS Major is chiefly remarka-
BILE for the Dng-star. In old times this
star was thought to bring pestilence.
Homer speaks oft mot by name, how
eyer) as the star
''Whose burning breath
Iaints the red air with fevers, plaques, and
DEATH"
Many a,,ong the aucients supposed
that this star was in reality as large AS
the sun. Thus Manilus said:
IT'S strongly credited this owns light
And runs s course not than the SUMS less
Z bright; II kfHnEIss ETEs
But that, remov'd from sight SO great way,
1t Seems to cast dim and weaker ray"
1t has been shown in our own time,
however, that even this estimate,
which was by many thought too da-
ring, fails far short Of the truth. Ill
has been calculated that Sirius gives
out three hundred times as much light
(and doublless three hundred times as
much heat as our sun. So that il
would make US rather uncomfortablel
If our sun were removed and Sirius sci
in his place. Sir w. HerscheI saws
hat when he turned his large four-feet
mirror on this star, the light was like
hat OF the rising sun, and it was i'm
possible TO look at the star without
1ain to the eye. Sirius is in reality in
'lpid motioa, though, owing to his
'narinous distance, he seems at rest. {
he Is rushing through space at the Ia
ate OF about thirty miles in every sec. q
md Of time! In a year he traverses t
learly six times the distance which n
