4 Small Man.

Six-year-old Harry, who lives on
Fourth avenue. has a grandfather who
has attained the unusual age of ninety
six years. and who weighs scarcely more
than sixteen ounces for each year of his
life. He called at the house the other
day after lengthy absence from the
city and took great interest in Harry,
asked him questions, told him stories,
complimented him on becoming II big
boy for his age" and gave him a nickel.
After the old gentleman had taken his
departure Harry sat very still for long
time. and finally his mother. noticing
the unusual quiet, inquired what he was
thinking about. In reply he asked:
How old did you say grandpa was?'
He is ninety-six, Harry"
Say, mamma" said the little chap
with a puzzled air, isn't he awfully
small for his age?" Tribune.

Jupiter the star which has held most
attention of late, received his name from
Father Zeus, or Jove pater, as the Ro-
mans called the king Of gods and men
a name fifty applied to the planet larg-
est by far of any in our solar system.
By whatever name Jupiter has been
known, he has always borne good rep
utation. From time immemorial he has
been the star of destiny, of good for
tune. The ancient Babylonians and
Chaldeans regarded him with favor, be-
lieving that his gracious eye watched
over them for good. The Greeks and
Romans likewise acknowledged his ia
vOring glances.
The astrologers of the Middle Ages
recognized him as benign, and believed
those born under his influence would be
fair, tall, handsome. of Il jovial DISPOSE
ton, generous, wise and witty, sound in
mind and morals. If Mars or Saturn
were near enough to affect the influence
of Jupiter they modified the character
of the otherwise upright person. for the
influence of Mars was feverish and fiery,
and that Of Saturn was most malign.-
