The Nearest Star.

I'm nn interesting article on Southern
stars, reprinted in Science, Mr.. Pope, OF
New Zos and, describes Alpha Centauri,
the known nearest fixed star TO the earth.
This magnificent double star, he says, u
the finest object Of the kind in the heav-
sns. Beside being = binary star OF very
short period, every one knows that Alpha
Cantauri is our next neil hbOr among the
stars, and that it WAS the fret ~ give
up the secret of its parallax under direc.
transit circle observations. The color
of this star is straw-yellow, or sometimes
golden yellow, aocorthng 80, the state Of
aie atmosphere. When there il haze,
of course the smaller star is somewhat
more affected by il than the larger. This
tends to give it . sight brownish tint
whom tho sky Is not clear. Alpha Cen
taui is star of the second class. Its
spectrum il very like that OF the sun.
Even the principal dark lines are fine,
xnd they apparently occupy the same
relxtiye positions a. do the well-knOwn
lettered lines in the solar spectrum.
There can be no doubt, in fact, that the
physical constitution of this great star
Il. in most respects, the same - that Of
IUo UO0s ~ 40 RAOO"OASD AOWOvCAS eAos
Alpha Centauri Is less developed than
the sun; for, Is Mr.. Proctor has pointed
,ut, its light is brighter than its mass
would lead as 70 expect it TO be, judging
from the light of our sun as compared
with his mass. While she mass Of the
star is to the mass of the sun a. al, tho
isht Of the star is to the light Of the san
~ al. Now, if it is true, rs physicists
have good grounds for believing, that
the sun is, aud hao been, very slowly bat
surely losing his heat, just as our earth
hss most certsinly lost IN enormous
amount OF hers, there must have been .
time when tho sun and his system we're
less developed, but far hotter and bright
o., than they are now-whsn they
formed. probably, . white star-that u
TO say, there WAS, quite possibly. time
whom the light from our sun bore the
ssxas relation TO his mass - tho light
from Alpha Centauri bears now to it,
mHsA We may also believe that matters
re less advanced in tie planets (if there
ne any) Of this nsighboring system than
ihsy are with U.

judge NJ, Q vsll-known iuYist Nv
hs near Cincinnati, was fond OF relating
tAis anecdote. He had once occasion TO
send to the village for carpenter, and
. sturdy young fellow appeared with his
tools.
II want this fence mended to keep
The cattle. There are some unplaned
boards-uss them. It is out OF sight
from the house, 30 you need not take
time 10 make it neat job. I will only
pay vou dollar and half
The Judge went to dinner, and, COM
ing out, found the man carefully plan
ing each board Surprising that he was
trying to make a costly job of it, he Or
dersd him to nail them on at once just ~
they we're, and continued his walk.
When he returned the boards were
plAred and numbered ready for mailing,
II told you that this fence was 10 b
covered with vines," he sold, angrdy.
81 do not care how it looks.
~ do" said the carpenter, grufhy,
carefully measuring his work. Whom it
was finished there was no part OF the
fsnoe 80 thorough in finish.
How much do you charger asked
the Judge.
"a dollar and half, said the msn.
ahouldsriSg his tools.
The Judge stared. "Why did you
spend all that labor ON the job, # not
for money!"
"For the job, SIR"
Nobody would have seen the poor
work ON i"
"But I should have known it was
thexe. No; I'll take ouly the dollar
ana halt" And he took il and wont
away.
Tan years afterward, the Judgs had
the contract to give for the building d
certain magnificent public buildings.
There we're many applicants among mas
ter-buildsra, but the face Of one @ Sght
his eye.
"It was my man of tho fence" he
said. az knew we should have only
good, genuine work from him. / gave
Elm the contract and it made rich man
Of him."
It is pity that boys we're not taught
in their earliest years that the highest
success belongs only to the man, be ho
carpenter, farmer, author ox ARTIST
whose work is most sincerely IN thog-
ouGhly done.

Does Honesty Payi

"Does Il, after all, pay to be honesty
Q disappointed young man writes. No.
my son, not if you're honest for pay, it
doesn't Not il you are honest merely
because you think it will pay not it you
are honest only because you are afraid
70 be rogue indeed, my dear boy. It
does not pay to be honest that way. Ii
YOU cant be honest because you hate

be honest from principle, be o rascal

you'll probably succeed at it. But you
can't make anybody believe In honest.

The GAZETTE will continue to furnish the

Washington correspondence will furnish tho
latest and most reliable news from the capital Of
tho nation. The proceedings of Congress will be
regularly reported in succinct form, but all mat

in detail and tho full text of all bills of local in

The Commercial columns of the GAZETTE vii.
give the earliest and most exact commercial news,
with reliable reports of the Grain Cattle, Grocery
and other Markets, and tho prices and position of
the stocks which are the subjects of business
transactions in this section of the country.
It's Richmond correspondence and special tele-
graphic dispatches will give early and accurate
accounts of tho proceedings of the General Assem-
Ny and of all the operations of the State govern
mcnt likely to interest the people
Correspondence from every section of tho State
published continually, and all events OF interest
occurring within the bounds of the Commonwealth
will be faithfully reported.
The Local Department will receive special at
tention during the coming year, and no pains

The GAZETTE was established in 1900. and is
now The oldest paper published in the State, and
with very few exceptions the Oldest in the coun-
try. 1t is proposed to keep up its usefulness and
to be continued a paper suited for the family as
well as for the counting room and work shop,
aud to this end neither pains or expense will be
spared. Its past shall be guarantee of its future.
The circulation OF the GAZETTE is steadily in
crcasing, and that, too, among people who consult
its advertising columns generally before purchas-
ing the numerous articles they are constantly in
need Of That this is sclf-cyident may be inferred
from the fact that large country edition-equal-
" as large as tho daily-is sent out all this
section of country three times week, and is
read by thousands, most of whom send hero or
to contiguous cities for what they have neither
the time or inclination to purchase in person. 1t
OF course follows that they read advertisements
in order to find where purchases can be madcsatis-
factorily. The advantages of advertising in the
GAZETTE arc thus apparent, and need no further
demonstration.
