Tho story Is once moro revived that as
tronomers expect temperance OF the So
called Star OF Bethlehem either this year or
next year. Astronomers would. no doubt re-
joice to behold that celebrated star again blaz-
ing in all Its glory In the heavens. but they arc
far from expecting 1t. Tho readiness with
which tho suggestion has been accepted that
tho star which suddenly made its appearance
In the constellation OF Cassiopeia in 1872. out
shining even the most brilliant Of the planets.
was Identical with tho star which tho Magi saw
at the birth OF CHRIST. indicates how strong
tho popular love OF the marvellous is. Tho
only evidence Of identity Is that In the years
1894 and 945 brilliant stars suddenly made their
appearance In the same quarter of tho heavens
In which the wonderful star Of 1872 was seen.
Assuming that these three stars were one and
the same body. which 70. some unknown reason
blazos out with surprising brilliancy once in
about $40 or 315 years it Is seen that 1t may have
appeared some time near the date Of CHRIsT's
birth. and that 1t may appear again at any time
within a fow years. But there is no certainty
that the stars seen in 1864 and 945 were In tho
Same place whore tho star Of 1871 blnzed out.
The records OF their appearance are OF the
most mcagre and unsatisfactory kind. Still 1t
may be said that the evidence OF the identity OF
these stars. upon which is based the opinion
that we shall soon behold this celestial wonder
again. Is fully as strong as that adduced to
prove tho identity OF many comets whose
periodcity Is assumed. II this curious star
should reappear 1t might throw flood Of light
upon the constitution OF some OF tho heavenly
bodies. for the astronomers armed with

duty to society and to the State" He add
| Cd, however. the very significant Qualiflca-
tlon that the Legislature must be the sole
judge Of the acts proper to DO prohibited.
Now, the question presented by the pro-
posed amendment il whether fishing as pas
timo on Sunday Is an act which should DO pro-
hibited or not. The Legislature. according to
the decisions Of the courts. clearly has au-
thority to forbid It or to allow 1t. This pow
or Is not affected by the so-callcd federation
clause In the State Constitution as that
clause has been judiclally interpreted. There
Is nothing In the fundameptal law which
prohibits tho Legislature from doing
just rs It likes on this subject. Tho
weight Of public sentiment ct pres
ont Is against permitting any acts on Sun
day which amount to serious Interruptions
OF tho reposc OF the community on that day,
or tend to disturb people engaged In religious
worship. Irrespective Of their moral aspect,
loud and noisy sports on Sunday would prob
ably bc generally discountcnanccd by the
people Of this State. Tho suggestion that
baseball playing should bc allowed in New
York and Brooklyn on Sunday Is open to this
objection on the ground OF the noisy nature
OF tho game as usually practised.
As to simple fishing, however, conducted
quietly from our city wharvcs or along the
shores OF rivers, brooks. and ponds in the
country, the case Is very different.
No one will pretend that fishing " sinful In
itself, and 1t would DO difficult to point out
any Scriptural Injunction against fishing on
Sunday. Even our most noted fishermen,
who choose TO rest rather than to fish ON
Sunday. acknowledge that they do 80 as
matter OF preference. not OF compulsion
II have passed great deal Of my life in
forest sports" says Mr.. WILLIAM G. PRIME,
in his delightful book on fishing, land
yield to no man In knowing how to enjoy
them And chiefest among the enjoyments
OF the forest, l have found always tho sercni-
ty OF Sabbath rest. 1t comes to the wise
sportsman with all tho blessings that 1t
brings to tho weary laborcr in tho city, and
with thousand others; and he is unworthy
to call himself wise man who vets line or
puts cartridge In q rifle on Sunday In tho
forest"
But should the city laborer, who has no
summer vacation for sport. and not even q
single weekday hour for recreation, be for
hidden on Sunday to practise tho gentlcst OF
sports, which. perhaps above all recreations
known to man. Is tho most quiet and con-
ducive TO reflection and contemplation
