A VISION FOR THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE III
sLEIGHlNG PARTIES.
One of the most interesting sights in the
telescope, is the variation in the light in the
star Algol, whose Arabic name means the
demon. 1t is sometimes called the Winking
Demon. This wonderful star is now in a
good position for observation, being nearly
overhead at nightfall 1t is the brightest of
the little cluster called the Head of Medusa,
which according to the old fable Perseus
carries in his hand as he rushes to the res
cue of Andromeda. For little over two
days and half Algol shines as star of the
second magnitude. Then its light begins to
fade, and in about two hours and third it
sinks to the fourth magnitude, glimmering
SO feebly that u casual observer would be
unable to distinguish it from the other faint
stars in its neghborhood. Thus it remains
for eighteen minutes, and then to brighten
again, and, in the same time that it occupied
in growing dim, attains its former brlliancy
From one minimum to another is two days
twenty hours and nearly forty-nine minutes
Algol gave its last light Thursday evening al
about 6.45. There will not be another min.
mum visible in this longitude early in tn,
evening until February IS, at s,24.
The fact that II star thus brightens ant
grows dim at regular intervals is in tseli
wonderful but it appears all the more won
derful when we are told that Algol is sun
having an enormous dark body revolyin,
around it at tremendous speed, Some as
tronomers think that this mysterious bod
will fall into the star, producing an outburs
of light and heat that would be fatal to an
living being that might exist within million
of miles of that distant sun. Such cata,
trophe would be visible in the splendor {
the star.

One OF the most provoking things to busl-
ness men is to send out statements to those
who owe them, and have no attention paid
to the bills. The natural presumption is that
when man sends you dun he wants his
money, and the very best you can do is to
answer it in some way even if you cannot
pay at once. If not prepared to settle imme-
diately write and tell him when you can; at
all events give him some satisfaction. To
throw the statement aside and pay no attcn-
tion to tits bad treatment to those who have
given you credit, and they have a. perfect
right to suspect that you do not intend to
pay until you have to. Our experience is
that about one out of twenty-fve.reply to our
requests for settlement Of account.

An inebriated man was source Of great
annoyance to both the speaker and the au.
dience at Dougherty's lecture. He was per-
mtted to occupy a seat near the front, and
during the evening frequently interrupted
with exclamations sometimes uninteligible,
and sometimes profane. 1t is possible that
an effort to eject him would have made some
disturbance but drunken man is entitled
to very little consideration at such place.
and this fellow ought to have been bounced
at the first interruption.

The Lifting OF Licenses.

All persons to whom hotel or restaurant
licenses are granted by the court, have fif-
teen days in which to take up such license
and unless lifted within that period it is for
feited. The general opinion seems to be
that the right to sell up to the last of the fif-
teen days is covered by the old license, but
this is not 50. A license is good for one
year from the day it is obtained, and no
longer. Those to whom licenses were granted
last Monday, therefore, have no right to sell
liquor until they have taken out the new
one.

Sleighing parties are now in order and
Bloomsbury is receiving fair share of them.
On Tuesday night of last week, two parties
were at the Exchange Hotel and one on Fri

snow was too deep on the roads for good
sleighing, but the large number teams soon
sleighing ought to last for several weeks.
The storm was general throughout the Eas.

Maine and Massachusetts the snow is from
eighteen inches to two feet in depth and the
Luzerne county, the snow is thirty-two inches
deep and numbering is stopped for the

The dailies on Tuesday gave the following
account of remarkable surgical operation
in Philadelphia
DIR. Richard j. Lewis has performed Il re-
markable surgical operation at the Pennsyl-
vania hospital John Delaney came to the
institution fifteen months ago with his face,
neck and breast terribly lacerated by an ex-
plosion in coal mine The wounds healed,
but the sufferer was disfgured Perhaps
the worst feature of his case was his inability
to close his eyes The head, too, was drawn
forward so that the chin rested below the
collar-bone DIR. Lewis, by what is known
as the plastic operation succeeded in re-
storing the head to its natural position, using
bandages and weights. Two upper eyelids
were formed from the skin of the mans little
finger, which had been amputated, and last
week large piece of skin was taken from
the arm and used in making lower eyelids.
The work of Dr. Lewis has attracted great
attention in medical circles, and acknowl-
edged to be one of the most brilliant triumphs
of the science of surgery.
