4 Queer steIic.

John Swinton has furnished the
following peculiar prediction Of an
astrologer, originally published in
the tri-weekly eleanor Of Jamaica
in 1879:
In 1887 the star of Bethlehem
will once more be seen in Cassie
peas chair, and VIII be accompan-
led by total eclipse of the sur
and moon. This star only makes
its appearance every 3l5 years. 1t
will illumine the heavens and ex-
ceed in brilliancy even Jupiter
when in opposition to the sun, and
therefore nearer to the earth and
brightest. The marvellous bril-
Iiancy of the star of Bethlehem in
1887 will surpasS any of its previ-
Gus visitatlons. 1t will be seen
even at MONDAY shining with quick
udSHlnG llSUI tHc eUllTt year, dltcT
which it will disappear, not to re-
turn to our heavens until the year
2202. This is the star which
shown SO brightly in the year 1 B.
c., and is the star that Illuminated
the heavens at the nativity Of
Christ. The appearance Of this
star, accompanied as it will be by
solar and lunar eclipses together
with tie baleful influence which
follows the position which Mars
and Saturn will then occupy. will
cause an universal war North
America will be involved in civil
strife. and reign Of terror will
prevail in the Atlantic States, un-
less Napoleon shall arise to quell
it. There will be war of classes
the rich will array themselves
against the poor and vice versa ev
erywhere.'

Mr.. N. Brule has recently made
a very promising strike about hall

TREE.rLANTlNG AND RAIN
solid Eeo~Ons Why People
Should Plant Trees

The Salt Lake Tribune gives an
interesting scientific explanation
of the connection between trees
and rainfall.
The rainfall is steadily extend
ing Westward from the Missouri
River. Good crops are being raised
now in Western Kansas and Ne
braska where few years ago it
was believed the laud was valueless
because at The absence of rains.
The change has been brought
by the cultivation Of the soil and
BY tree-plantihg. The work has
hardly begun, but the effect already
has been wonderful. Scientists ex-
plain that all air contains much
moisture; that III what We call dry
air the particles Of water are so in
finitely small that they are lighter
than the ar and float upon it.
With the cultivation Of the soil
and with tree planting the air near
the surfac. Is coded This has
the effect that the pressure of the
hand upon wet sponge has,
and when enough of the particles
of wa er are ,ressed tocether they
become heavier than the air and
tai. in dew, or when the same pro-
cess is continued in greater degree,
the re sult is fail Of rain. The in
creasing rainfall in the West is the
drawing from the air Of the mois-
ture which was formerly afoat in
particles 80 small that the air was
heavier than they, aud there being
nothing in the form Of cool air to
compress the sponge, no rainfall
followed. Every tree that a farmer
plants IN Utah will bring a reward
N increased moisture. Had there
been a thousand acre grove in this
valley we should have had heavy
-ainfall week ago and escaped
much of this terrible heat, for
thousands, and probably tens of

Address, Our Conflict,
By REV. J. W. CARTER, OF PARK
RpsRuRG w VA

EhSbO NJ, W. a.
Rev.. w. Carter, being presented
to the audience, proceeded, with
out preliminaries, with an array
of facts, figures and arguments
that at once thrilled and convinced
all hearts, while at the same time,
all were delighted with the speak
er's good humor and many happy
hits
He said-The work of Temper
ance organizations is simply e1aor-
NOUS. Have we measured its vast
ness? 1t is nothing less than the
com plete overthrow of the Liquor
IT tic.
Tn,. Traffic is intrenched in the
dr;nk ba lit of the people. Fully
20 ner cant of the men of our coun-
l. is intranched n commerce.
It is intrenohed b. hind its i'm
mense money power, US "a lor cor
rupting Legislatures and CL"rIs.
1t is the huge Tape Worm OF 'u-
siness.
He wanted to give the old par
ties all the credit due them, "for,"
said he, "the Lord knows they need
all the credit they can get"
The Liquor Power holds each of
the Old parties BY the throat and
bumps their heads together when
they don't please it.
Regulation and Taxation were
denounced and ridiouled. Would
YOU aequlate rattlesnake by hold
ing It by the tail!
Answering those who advise to
etay and work in the old parties
and scratch their whisky nominees,
the speaker asked, "Wil you
scratch q party's candidate and yet
support the party that is as bad as
its candidates If | could gu, .,
down a whole a0hisky party: would
Certainly worry down the little
knats of It's candidates.
Another and greater resource OF
the Liquor Traffic, is the indifer-
ence OF those who ought to be
against 1t.
RESOURCES OF THE TEMPERANCE

sources of the Temperance Army
are ample and all powerful:

of Physiology, the Facts Of sociolo

were elaborated with convincing
clearness and force.
