His lips were no more eloquent than His

A Pathetic Scene.


That was a pathetic scene witnessed
by loiterers near Plymouth Church, the
other day, on the occasion of a swell"
wedding. The bride entertained sin
gular and questionable prejudice
against dogs, and consented to become
a bride only on condition that her FIT
ure husband. who was addicted to dogs,
should abandon them, kick them out or
otherwise dispose of them. Mr.. Bangs,
her intended. loved-a-skye terrier above
all the other pets. The skye accompa-
MED him to the church. and there at
the door of the sanctuary. Bangs was
compelled to lake 4 last and fond fare
well of the little beast. Tears came to
the eyes of the most eallous and strong
hearted spectators as they noted the
fond embraces of master and dog The
bride waited in the vestibule. but Bangs
could not tear himself from the skye
until a soulless sexton snatchcd the pet
and bore him out of his masters sight
FOREVER. Only the fact that the bride,
Miss Singer, of sewing machine ante
cedents. has an annual income of S60.-
600 could reconcile. Bangs to this sacri-
fee of his tenderest feeIngs.-N. J.

The Distance Of the Stars.

As we behold the heavens on clear,
moonlight night, glowing with stars, it
is natural to infer that the brightest of
the shining orbs are nearer to us than
their fainter companions. Until re-
Gently, however, the distance of the
stars was matter of conjecture. No
change could be detected in the di-
rection of a star when viewed from OPP
posite points of the earth's orbit, q
distance of one hundred and eighty-six
million miles; no shadow of parallax,
as the change in direction is called,
could be found.
y Astronomers did not cease to work
upon the problem; though during the
last century and the first part of the
present, they reached no reliable re-
suit. AT length a discovery was made
that proved to be an entering wedge
Several stars were found to be NOV
ing forward in straight line at rapid
rate; to have large proper motion, as
it is called. 1t was inferred that these
stars must be nearest to the earth.
A star of the sixth magnitude in the
Swan, sixty-one Cygni, was found to
have proper motion of SIX seconds in

subject for investigation, and in 1895
succeeded in measuring its parallax.
which is about half-second of arc.
This, translated into figures, means
that sixty-one Cygnf is four hundred
thousand times as far away as the earth
is from the sun. Figures fail to give an
idea Of q distance so immense, and
therefore, years are used. 1t takes light
about seven years to reach us from six
ty-one Cygni, our nearest neighbour
and we say it is seven years distant
Alpha Centauri, a bright star in g
Southern constellation, is nearly at the
same distance. There are about doz
en- stars whose distances have beer
measured in the same way, but the far
Their off they are, the more uncertain il
the measurement.
The brilliant Vega, or Alpha Lyrm, /.
seventeen years distant, the bright Ca
pella is ten years, the glowing Sirius is va

The Medical Value Of Vegetables.

On the authority Of the Medical Rec.
ord, asparagus is a strong diuretic, and
forms part of the cure for rheumatic
patients at such health resorts as Ak
les,Bains. Sorref is cooling, and forms
the staple of that soupe aux herbes
which'a French lady win order for her
self after long and firing journey.
Carrots, as containing a quantity of
sugar, are avoided by some people,
while others. complain of them as indi-
gestible. With regard to the latter ac-
cusation, it may be remarked, In pass
ing, that it is the yellow core of the car
rot that is difficult of digestion, the
outer, a red layer, is tender enough.
a In Savoy the, peasants have recourse
to an Infusion of carrots as a specific
for jaundice: The large sweet onion is
very rich IN those alkaline elements
which counteract the poison of rbeu-l
matte govt. If slowly stewed in weak
broth, and eaten, with little Nepaul
pepper, it will be found to be an admit
rabIe article OF diet for patients of stu
dious and sedentary habits. The stalks
of caulifiower have the same sort of
value, only too often the stalk of cauli-
flower is SO i'll boiled and unpalatable
that few persons would thank you for
proposing to them to make part of their
meal consist Of sounfnviting an article.
.Turnips, in the same way, are often
thought to be indigestible, and better
suited for cows and sheep than for deli
cate people; but here the fault lies with
the cook quite as much as with the
root. The cook boils the turnips badly,
and then pours some butter over It,
and the eater Of such'a dish is sure to
be the worse for it. Try better way
