III we could take bird's-eye view of
the solar system containing only the
sun, the earth and the moon, we should
see the sun moving with rapid pace
through the vast regions of space, TAX
ing with him the earth and the moon.
We should see the earth revolving
round the sun, taking with her the
moon. We should also see the moon
revolving round the earth, her motion
round both sun and earth causing her
to move in an irregular curve, always
concave to the sun.
We could then realize as no words
can describe how exceedingly comph-
Gated is the motion of the moon IN her
orbit, and admire with reverent awe
the heavenly harmony that prevails
even in this small portion of the material
universe. For il must be remembered
that our majestic sun is but a shining
point, seen from the nearest fixed star,
and our earth and moon are invisible
to the suns of space.
The moon revolves around the earth
from any fixed star TO the same star
again, in twenty-seven and three-tenths
days, completing periodic or sidereal
revolution.
The earth meantime has advanced in
her orbit, and the moon requires more
time to complete revolution in regard
to the sun, bringing sun, moon and
earth into line, and making the time
from new moon to new moon again
twenty-nine and half days. This is
called Lunar Month, Lunation, or
Synodic Period.
The moon is often considered as of
little consequence in the economy of
creation. But what would the earth do
without her? She is our minister and
companion. If she were blotted from
the skies there would be no tides of
any amount, no silver crescents hang
ing in the golden west, no glorious full
moons flooding the sleeping earth with
soft lights and shadows, and no total
eclipses of the sun. the most sublime
phenomena on which mortal eyes rest.
We have need then to be devoutly
grateful for our satellite, for her position
i'll the heavens, for the short period OF
her revolution, and for all the blessings
that follow in her train. Her move
ment round the earth is but one short
chapter in the complex history of our
nearest and most intimate celestial
neighbor. Youths Companion.

Cold Feet.

Many people who are out much
during cold weather suffer from cold
feet, and any one who has SO suffered
knows that they are very painful. AL
though some of these cases may be at
tributed to thin shoes and stockings,
yet the most of them are due to poor
circulation, which warm stockings and
shoes, although they may help, viii
never cure.
A remedy for cold feet that is said to
be good is TO plunge the feet IN cold
water just before going to bed, then
with coarse towel rubbing them
briskly until the circulation Is very
free and the feet glowing with heat.
Retire almost Immediately and keep
the feet well covered during the night.
Repeat this treatment every night,
and, it is claimed, no matter how cold
the weather, the feet will be warm and
comfortable However efficacious this
cold douche may be 10 strong person,
1t is not to be recommended as being
suitable to q delicate one. For the
latter a dry, brisk rubbing with a
coarse towel every night before retir-
ing is beneficial in bringing the blood
TO the surface and securing warmth.
1t is poor plan for those suffering
from cold feet, on Immediately coming
in from the cold air, to place them for
warmth before stove or over regis
ter, for, although for time it imparts
the desired warmth, it SO enfeebles
them that in a short while it will be
almost impossible to keep them COM
Portable during the winter, even in the
house, unless near the fire often. 1t
takes but little of this treatment to
produce that painful, irritating affec-
ton known as the chilblains. Instead
of depending on the artificial warmth
of the fire to restore the heat to the
feet walk up and down the room as
brislIly as possible, and in short
while the blood will perform its proper
task, and the feet be heated by its nat
ural circulation.
Children should be early taught
this lesson, and it will spare them
some annoyance, and often pain. 1t Is
best when little children complain of
cold feet to remove the shoes and stock
ings, and with the hands warm the feet
by rubbing. First press the toes gent
| " between the hands until some
warmth is secured; then rub, first
slowly, then increasing gradually, until
the desired warmth is attained. Then
replace the stockings and shoes, and
the feet will not chill so easily the next
time the little ones go out on cold day.

A Life Made Miserable

by dyspepsia is scarcely worth the living. A
capricious appetite, heartburn, puzzIing nervous
symptoms increased action Of the heart after
eating, sinking in the abdomen between meals,
and fatulence after, are among the successive
iildicia of this harassing complaint. Two things
only are needful for its removal. A resort TO
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and persistence in
its use. These remedial measures being adopted.
n cure is certain. Taken Immediately before or
after meals this great stomachic promotes secre-
ton of the gastric juice, the natural solvent Of
the food. The nervous and bilious symptoms
consequent upon chronic Indigestion disappear,
the complaint gradually yields 10 the correct
i've and invigorating influence Of the Bitters.
Appetite returns, sleep becomes more refreshing,
and as n sequence, the body is efficiently nour-
ished, muscular power increases and the mind
gows sanguine. Use the Bitters for chllls and
foyer and rheumatism

Rainfall in the West Increasing.

There has been printed a letter from
Gen. Greedy of the Signal Service upon
the rainfall of the Pacific Slope and
Western States and Territories Gen.
Greedy says: THE chief signal officer
does not hesitate to express the opinion
that the trans-Mississippi and trans
Missouri rainfall is slightly increasing
as a whole, though in certain localities
it may be slightly decreasing. There
appears no possible reason to believe
that the scanty rainfall of the last year
or two will not be followed 10y increas-
ing precipitation in the next few years,
which will maintain the annual rain

A Famous Battle-Ground.

On the banks OF the rppecanoe. a small
stream which enters tho Wabash River In
Indiana. was fought the terrible battle OF
Tippecanoe.
In this great struggle OF frontier times tho
allied western Indians. under the chiettan-
ship OF Elskwatawa. the Prophet" were
defeated In November, 1871 by tho Ameri-
cans under the command OF Gen. VIM. III.
Harrison.
II was desperate. hard fought battle.
and much depended upon the result.
Had the Indians been successful all bar
riers OF defense for the early settlers would
have been overthrown. and the deadly TOM
ahawk would have been active in the rapid
determination OF the remaining pioneers.
On the other hand. the fortunate termna-
ton OF the contest put an end 10 further
attempts at open warfare by tho Indians.
The rich territory. so long overrun by
hostile savages, was thrown open for settle
ment. which rapidly occurred as soon AS
the news OF the great victory became wide
spread.
Naturally great praise was rendered TO the
success and intrepid bravery of Gen. Harri-
son. and he was honored in many ways.
He afterward served as Commander OF the
Army of the Northwest. and when Indiana
was admitted 10 statehood he was selected
70 represent the state in the United States
Senate. In 1910 he was elected President,
and his unfortunate demise occurred shortly
after being inaugurated.
The forty second anniversary OF the
Battle OF Tippecanoe found the gallant
grandson OF -0ld Tip" leading his forces to
great political victory. which resulted in
the selection OF Gen. Ben Harrison as Pres
ident OF the United States.

Tipping the Hat.

The custom of lifting the hat had its
origin during the age of chivalry, when
it was customary for knights. never to
appear in public except in full armor.
1t became a custom, however, for a
knight, upon entering an assembly OF
friends, to remove his helmet, signify
ing Il am safe in the presence of my
friends" The age of chivalry passed
away with the fifteenth century, but
among the many acts of courtesy which
can be traced back to its influence,
none is more direct in its origin than
that of lifting the hat to acknowledge
the presence of friend.
