THEY SHOUTED "CASH."


A Virginia Farmer Resents Undue Famil-

Cassius or Cash Cologne, as he is
usually named well-known resident
of Fauquier County, Va, recently
paid his first visit to New York. Wish
ing, unlike so many men, to show his
thought for his wife when out of her
sight, he entered a leading dry-goods
store for the purpose of buying a dress
pattern or some such suitable article.
Walking up one OF the aisles he was
more than surprised to hear some one
in the dim distance loudly yell out
"Cashw
Naturally surprised, he looked in the
direction whence the voice came, sup
posing its owner to be a friend or ac-
quaintance, and that Gothams proverb-
ial looseness of habit permitted this
manner of salute. Still he could see nc
one that he recognized. Wondering
more and more, establishment grew to
boiling point, when, as if by precon-
eerted signal, from all quarters of the
room came persistent cries of Cash!
Cash! Cash. This was more than the
Virginian chiyalry, in the person of Mr..
Cologne, could hear, and, as at that mo-
ment a clerk. with locomotive whistle
voice, standing right back of him. cap
ped the climax by shouting the name in
his very ear, he turned round and re.
marked:

SIRIUS, THE DOG STAR.


something ABOUT one OF the Greatest Of
the Fixed Stars.
1t is difficult to conceive that this +
beautiful star is globe much larger L
than our sun, yet it is fact that Sirius I
is sun many times more mighty than l
our own. That splendid star which 1
even in our most powerful telescopes
appears as mere point of light, is in &
reality globe emitting so enormous a
quantity of light and heat that, were II /
to take the place of our sun, every crea-
ture on this earth would be consumed
by its burning rays.
Sirius, shining with a far greater
luster than any other star, it was natural
that astronomers should have regarded
this as being the nearest of all the
fixed" stars, but recent investigation
on the distances of the stars has showna
that the nearest to US is Alpha Centauri, \
a star belonging to the southern lati'
tudes, though it is probable that Sirius
is about fourth on the list in order Of 4
distance. For, though there are about
fifteen or twenty stars whose distances
have been conjectured, the astronomer
knows that in reality all of them, save
three or four, lie at distances too grea'S
to be measured by any instruIS
ments we have at present. Astfon1N
omers agree in fixing the as
lance of the nearest star ~
twenty-five million of millions OF mics

Sirius is more than three and less 'naa
