The Number of the Stars.

The total number of stars one can see
will depend very largely upon the clear
ness OF the atmosphere and the keenness
OF the eye. There are in the whole ce-
lestial sphere about 5000 stars visible to
an ordinarily good eye. OF these, how
ever, we can never see moro than frac-
ton at any one time, because half of
the sphere is always below the horizon.
II we could see star in the horizon as
easily as in the zenith, half of the
whole number, or 5000, would be visi-
bic on any clear night. But stars near
the horizon are seen through SO great a
thickness of atmosphere as greatly to OBJ
scure their light, and only the brightest
ones can there be seen. As result OF
this observation, it is not likely that more
than 1000 stars can be taken in at sim
gle view by any ordinary eye. About
1000 other stars are SO near the South
pole that they never rise in ourRlatitude.
Hence, out of 5000 supposed to be yisi.
BILE, only 1000 ever come within range
of our vision, unless we make journey
towards the quator.-Protessor E. s
Holden in The Century. g

Early Settlers, Curious Tales.

Some of the early settlers of New Eng
land sent home curious accounts of the
strange land to their friends, whom they
evidently enjoyed hoaxing. "Here-
abouts," says one of them, ''if you SOW
barley it comes up oats.'' Another tells
of the "lions that prowl about Cape
Ann" A third, in 1868, says that the
frogs of Massachusetts, ''sit up on their
breeches foot high, and some are as
big as child that is year DID, The
present frogs of that state are degenerate,
but the babies of Massachusetts are now
certainly bigger than frogs.--Globe-

Poison from Lead Pines.

1t is claimed to be proven, beyond all
doubt, that water which circulates OF
stands in leaden pipes or vessels, not only
takes up particles of lead through me-
chanical action due to friction, but attack
the metal, the result Of this being gener-
ally lead carbonate. According to the
most eminent authorities in this line,
minute quantities of lead thus introduced
into and accommodating in the system,
must rank among the causes of anemia

Town hasn't any sense, and Is blockhead
generally ....W We hear a great deal about
Albany's future. Some of the remarks
made are inclined to be wild and exaggcr-
ated on the up grade. Others not wild
enough. The NJ. A. +. is not full fedged
enthusiast on anything but in the matter
Of Albany's growth he has balloon like
ideas to a certain extent Should the Ore
gon Pacific be pushed through rapidly our
ideas are rather exalted as to the city's
growth and anyway it has an advantage

not less than ten thousand in five years
from now. There are those here who will
be saying In few years. "Well, | was
fool for not buying them. AT the end OF
this rainy week we hear many remarks
about too much moisture, but watch for
the harvest. An Albany gentleman says

farm machinery has left Albany during

Ennis was likewise taken before Justice

Neither Ennis nor Reed can pay the fines
and will have to submit to about months
imprisonment. These two cases should be
lessons to the young men of Linn county
that they must behave themselves or get

and YOU won't get in the grip of the law,

HONEST ENOUGH.

The Oregoaiaa, speaking Of the provisions
ofihe Mill'sllIi,say ",The great need Of
the democratic party Is newspapers intelli
gent enough and honest enough to set forth
things as they are" This Ii cmiucnlly true
for, 50 far ~ that paper Il concerned, while
1t may be intelligent enough TO tell It's
readers what the provisions Of the Mill's
bill are, evidence Is not lacking to showthat
II IL not honest enough TO do 80. II per.
fectly safe TO say that those who have de-
pended uponthe Oycgoaiaa fora knowledge
OF Just what the provisions Of that bill are,
all believe that no reduction has been made
upon woolen goods or upon sugar. II has
persistently nnd wiilfully mIsrepresented
the provisions of the bill with reference to
both sugar and wooIens. And We must
say that we know Of no class Of people In
| Oregon SO much In need Of newspaper,
intelligent and honest enough to set forth
things as they are In the Miii's bill, as the
republican party for that paper continually
teaches them that the Miil's bill makes no
change in the duties on sugar and WOODEN
goods while putting other articles on the
free list. Scores Of republicans daily assert
this to be the faet,and quote that paper as
authority to prove the allegation. That
paper Joins daily with others that have no
regard for the TRUTH IN denouncipg The
democratic party as free trade party ,simp-
Iy because IL fayors reduction Of the reyc.
nues by reducing the tariff, and In the same
breath calls for removal Of the entire dn-
ty from sugar. Does not this make thFt
paper free trader II not, then II acts In
very dishonest way in calling democrats
