How TO BEGIN The Tribune man states
that man of brains accosted him on the
street with the remark: 81 want to 90 into
politics, and don't know how to begin.
Give me some advice"
This never could have happened, as no man
of brains would be at all likely to seek the
Tribune for advice. If he is really anxious
t., know how to begin We can tell him that, by
first being sure that he is a citizen of the
United States and qualified voter. he will
be in fair condition to make a start.

A BAD S1GN-The Chronicle takes the very

Convention have no right to accept passes
over the " l. T. and Central Pacific railroads.
At the State Convention held in this CITY Aug
IL, there will be an effort made by the rail.
road companies to defeat Judge Beatty for
the nomination of Chief Justice, and R. NJ
Daggett for Congress. No man with con-
scientious regard for the duties he owes his
constituents has any right to sit in that con-
vention with the recollection that he is in
debted for favors to the railroad companies
1t is a bad sign when delegate accepts favors
from the R. r. companies

Our LOCAL MARKsMEN.-rheC Caledonia
picnic will come off on Saturday next and at
present not more than ten members of the
Carson Guards are in active practice at the
target. The Caledonian trophy is the
most valuable given and we'll worth a
struggle for. Ten of the rife shots of
the city are able TO make an average Of
over 40, and if the other ten members of the
team coulddo as well there would be no trouble
in walking off with the cup. There are now
but three days left for practice, and it is to be
hoped that the rest of the team will be on
hand. The archers are ales in neglect of
their practice, but if theySSsep steadily at

STYLE AT TAHoE.-A couple Of weeks ag,
little woman and two children made their
appearance at the Grand Central, Tahoe City,
Lake Bigler The woman was plainly dressed
and SO were the children. They were no,
taken much notice of and no one cared to
make the acquaintance Of the modest little
lady with plain clothes. Then the woman
who saw herself snubbed every day, got her
dander up and sent down to San Francisco
for the balance of her clothes and likewise the
children's. They came. Next morning she
appeared at the breakfast table with 'oile,
from Worth, and her diamonds dazzled every
body.
"Oh, good morning Mrs. Smith," came
from all sides.
But this was only the beginning of the
toilet boom. At lunch she was simply mag
ni6cent, and at dinner overpowering. She
had nine Saratoga trunks to draw from, and
her little daughters evening dress created q
regular Juror. Now came her turn to put on
airs. She simply treated everybody with the
coolest kind Of politeness. Of course she was
civil but didn't overdo cordially to any ex-
tent After overwhelming the place few days
with an avalanche of style, she packed b. r
dresses, sent them back to San Franchises and
resumed her plain $25 suit of brown. People
who try to assume airs on small incomes give
that little woman . wide berth up there now.
WATERMELON PARrY.-rhe boys of Car
sen are talking of getting up moonlight
watermelon party at Tresdways park. 1t is
proposed to have all the youngsters meet at
the park some evening and separating i'll
squads make their raids upon the various
watermelon patches in the vicinity. At 10
o'clock they are expected to NEE: at the pa
Wilton and there indulge in > feast at which,
the guests will compare their experiences.
The banquet will be enlivened with tales Of
shot gun experiences with ranch
ers about Carson and thrilling episodes con-
nected with foraging expeditions of the past
two seasons. The boy show b., the m. st b d
shot picked out of his person, will be entitled

Easter IN Rome.
BY LILLIAN GILBERT BROWNE.

BY LILLIAN GILBERT BROWNE.
La the old days of Rome, when
the Pope was absolute ruler and be.
fore the present King of Italy lived
there with his sweet, young wife,
Holy Week, the last week in Lent,
which ends with Easter Sunday,
used. to be celebrated so prettiIy
that strangers went from far aDd
near to see the spectacle. There
were all sorts OF PROFESSIONS in the
streets, fine music in the churches,
ceremonies in the great basilica of
ST. Peter, and every body looked
happy; for the. Italians seem o
great deal more like grown-up chill
dren than like men and women.
They are fond of all bright, pleasant
things, and though it is their relig-
ion to observe the rites of Holy
Week, the doing so gladdens them,
for other reasons.
But all these ceremonies cease at
the close of Easter Sunday, which
is made sort of beautiful climax to
the week of celebrations. Every
body who can get there nurries to
st. Peters, the largest church 10
the world, you know. There all the
most important ceremonies take
place, and everybody wants to see
them. ST. Pete is on the right
bank of the muddy Tiber, which
flows swiftly through Rome, divid,
ing he city somewhat as the river
Seine divides the city of Paris. The
largest portion of the town, where
most of the people live, is on the
left side Of the river so when they
60 10 ST. Peter's--and that is very
often-they have to cross the bridge
of ST. Angelo. The Castle of St.
Angelo is big round fortress and
from there q street leads directly TO
the great place, or plaza, as the
Italians call it, before st. Peters.
At each corner of The front of the
church begins grand covered walk,
called colonnade. For some dis.
lance this covered walk, which has
four rows Of handsome pillars "a
support the roof. comes straight
from the front of the church. Then
it curves out into an oval form, and
nearly surrounds the open place
which would otherwise be q square
Looking down from the roof of tho
church, the colonnades seem like
great stone sickles, the handles join
ing the building, and the blades
the points toward each other-in'
closing the plaza. The coIonnades
favorite places for the Romans t.
| walk in when the plaza is sunny
and hot, are always crowded wher
the people are waiting to see or al
tend any Of the famous ceremonies
of the church.
St. Peters itself is so big,so much
bigger than any church you and
have ever seen in this country, tha'

immensely of the Stars,

1t is known, says Professor j. vi.
not, that the stars are true suns. that
some of them are larger than our
own sun, and that around these en-,
ormous centres of heat and light re-
volve planets Cd which life certainly
exists. Our sun is distant from us
38,000,000 leagues, bat these stars
are distant at least 500, 900 times
as far--a distance that, in tact, 10
immeasurable and unimaginable for
US. Viewed with the unaided eye,
the stars and planets look alike. that
is, appear to have the same diane.
ter But, viewed through the tele-
scope, while the planets are seen to
clearly appreciable diametera, the
stars are only mere luminous points.
The most powerful of existing tele-
scopes, that OF Melbourne, which
magnifies 1000 times, gives us an
image of one eff our planets possess
ing an apparent diameter of several
degrees. Jupiter, for instance, which,
seen with the naked eye, appears as
star of the first magnitude, with a
diameter of forty. five degrees at the
most, viii in this telescope have it's
diameter multiplied 5000 times, and
will be seen as if it occupied IN the
heavens an angle of 100 degrees.
Meanwhile star alongside of Jupi-
ter, and which II the eye is as
bright as that planet, will still be q
simple, dirnepsionless point. New
ertheless, that star is thousands OF
times more voluminous than the
planet. Divide the distance be-
tween us and the planet by 5000
and you have for result q distance
relatively very small but divide
By 5000 the enormous number of
leagues which presents the distance
of star, and there remains q num-
Der of leagues too great to admit of
| the stars being seen by Us in per-
ceptible form. In considering Ju-
piter, or any of the planets, We are
filed with wonder at the thought
that this luminous point might hide
not only all the visible stars, but q
number five thousand fold greater.
for, of stars visible 10 our eyes,
