In 1887 the Star of Bethlehem will
be once more seer in "Casse pas

by a total eclipse Of the sun and

pearance,every 81 years. 1t will

Ter when in opposition to the sun,

The marvellous brilliancy OF the
"Star of Bethlehem" in 1887 will

tions. 1t will be seen even by noon
day, shining with a quick, flashing
light the entire year, after which it
will gradually decrease In bright
ness and finally disappear not to re-
to our heavens till 22O2 or 315
years after 1887. This star first at.
tracted the attention of astrono-

The subject of entertaining and
wholesome reading for the family
circle is one Of practical interest in
every household. 1t cannot be De-
MED that the tendency of the Amer
lean press is in too large a degfee
toward sensationalism, and IN some
instances even the sentiment of
purity and sacredness prove an In
sufficient barrier against the all
pervading desire of being novel md
startling in the presentation of
news. The exception to this 7 lle
among the metropolitan journals of
the day ale SO few as to be worI hy
of notice when encountered. The
CHICAGO WEEKLY NEWS is one ofthe
few papers on which it may be
strictly SAID that nothing objection
able to pure thought and morally
ever appears in its columns. It ia
an enterprising paper--none in The
west more so--but more than that,
1t is a clean paper, one which it is
safe to take into the family circle.

there is disease. A pain in the lower
portion Of the body indicates a disor-

means disease, and requires attention
