The Snow Capped Planet.
OBSERVATIONS OF THE PLANET MARS AND
WHAT THEY DISCLOSE.

Perhaps the most Interesting celestial event
| Of the year will be the opposition of Mars at
the end of the present month. There ia so
much talk about this remarkable planet that
sugg. SIS a close resemblance to the EARTH
and so many of its surface features and of
the natural processes occurring upon it are
visible with telescope aid, that every time it
comes TO opposition, that is, gets into line
" it'll the earth and the sun. the earth being
in the middle, a battery of telescopes is
turned upon it vi it'll eager expectation of in
teresting views if not of important discover
les At opposition Mars appears with small
telescope power like a full moon of rudy
tinge. As the magnify ing power is increased
one detail after another of the diversified
surface of this distant world comes into view.
until it hangs in the field of the telescope a
real globe, marked plainly with continents.
oceans and islands, and partly covered with
clouds.
The first physical features of Mars that
come into view are the snow cans surround
ing his poles The southern pole is now in
clined toward the earth. and a small tele-
scope, say of three inches aperture, ill
plainly show the circular, cleaning patch of
snow that covers the antarctic region of the
globe of Mars. The dark ring surrounding
the snow field. and sometimes called Phillips
sea. Is Almost equally UlstlnCl. ara some OF
the other seas, or spots that are believed to
be seas, can be seen with the same telescope
With a larger telescope more details are
| visible, and with the largest and best all the
various features of Marian geography which
| are represented on some of the wonderfully
complete maps of Mars that have been con-
structed can be seen. What surprising
thing it is that men have been able to make
maps and globes representing with q high
degree of completeness the surface of a
world never much less than 40 900 900 miles
distant from the earth
Large telescopes will. during the present
| opposition, also be able to show the two tiny
moons of Mars. which revolve close to the
| pianate, so rapidly that the inner one goes
through all the changes from new moon to
old moon in less than day.
Another interesting thing about Mars
which can now be studied 10 the mysterious
network of so-called canals, which cover a
large portion of the planat's surface, particu-
larry il the equatorial regions. The idea that
there are really canals constructed by inhab-
itants of the ruddy planet can hardly be en-
tertained when it is known thar they are sixty
miles and mere in width.
One thing seem to be pretty certain; Mars
has reached much later stage of planetary
development than the earth. and if it has in
hahitants they may possibly have attained q
degree of civilization incompre hensible to US.
At any rate, it i, wonderful world which
now beams a rudy star in our winter mid
/ night sky.

CASTOR Clothing.

What becomes of the the cast-off finery
of wealthy women? Some have poor re-
latives who gladly appropriate it; others.
again, send supplies to charitable institu-
tons. But these instances of generosity
are rare. for the modern woman has not
so much money to find more repugnant.
A secondhand clothier inserts notice in
a Sunday school paper that he will pay
large cash prices for cast-off garments in
good repair. Madame drops a postal
card in the morning. and the following
day good-natured Jewess calls in a
buggy and buys every thing she can
lay her eyes on. Hats. wells, plumes. col
lars, discarded bustles, limp corsets,
soiled ribbons for neck and belt. shoes and
slippers that have stretched too big, stock
ings and gloves that are season behind
the fashion, petticoats that need a bind
ing. disabled parasois, fans, night-dresses
and under-clothes that have become tire
some. steel jewelry. buckles of jet pearl
and ivory. belts. reticules. portemonnaies,
and any kind or style of dresses that are
whole, together with wraps, shawls. sacks,
cloaks and outdoor garments. The pur.
chaser. who sees a regular bonanza in the
pile, gives her from ten to hundred dol.
lars tor the lot and asks permission to
come again in six or twelve months. And
now for the disposition of these gaudy
ralments. The shoes are usually fine GUS
tom-made goods, costing from nine to
thirteen dollars. and as they are but
slightly worn out or out of STYLE it is moi
hard to sell them. The dresses are
cleaned. slightly altered and sold to the
girls who frequent these places for the fine.
~ they find it impossible to get elsewhere
Kid gloves are mended and cleaned
feathers and ribbons are similarly treated
and where it is not possible to clean ligh
dresses. shawls and trousers, they are
dyed black. and sell like hot cakes.

ANIMAL MEETING.

AT the annual meeting OF the Board
Of Managers of the Oregon State Ag-I
rIcuItural Society, held at Salem, on
Dec. 4th and 5th, 1888, by vote Of
the Board, the executive committee
was instructed TO prepare statement
for duplication 10 the people, relative
70 the views OF the members Of the
Board, upon the subjects Of licensing
the sale Of Spirituous liquors and the
practice OF the gambling devices.
We conclude from the comments
OF the press Of this State, that large
numbers OF the people as well as the
editors OF the papers published In Ore
gon are under the impression that the
officers OF the Oregon State Agricul-
tural Society have beenalicensing the
sale Of spIrltuous liquors on the fair
grounds and the gambling games
practiced during fair week.
In view Of this fact we have deem
ed 1t but just 20 say that this Society
has not In years past licensed the sale
Of splrltuous liquors atany of the
fairs nor have we licensed any OF the
gambling Or soap games, but on the
ether hand we have endeavored 10
prevent all persons from engaging In
the violation Of the laws of this State,
by warning them Of the risk they run
Of being prosecuted and puninshed
blythe proper officers of the county
and we will not permit or allow any
! one to engage in any gambling de-
vice upon the fair grounds, so far as
1t is possible for US to prevent the
: same.
Ia view Of this fact, We would asl
theIpapers Of this state to publish thii
: statement, and also state to all per-
. sons that 1t is the determination o
, the officers of this society to ask, ant
demand the cooperation of the civi
!, officers OF Marion county, to arres
E and punish all persons that may b
found at, or upon the Fairgrounds c
9 this society, engaged in any viola
Q ten Of the laws OF this state.
O. We sincerely hope that this warn
!. ing will be needed and that all per
J, sons coming TO our fair, will refrai
. from attempting to practice or carr
: on, or engage la any pursuit fo
which they will lay themselves liza
n BILE to arrest under the laws of thi
q state.
> We would ask all good citizens |
IT attendance at the fair to aid as |
i. giving the necessary evidence to tn
n officers to insure the conviction of a
Is persons, who may ia anyway violat
the laws OF this state.
i. The board Of managers at the sam
i meeting passed the following resolu
a tions and we would ask the papers I
:, this state to give Us space for thel
% publication that alI persons may bc
# informed of the action of the boart
n upon the subject as to the course W
q intend to take toward all person
i found upon the fair grounds vlolatin
