KEEp OFF THE ENCMY.

A foe who turks in ambush is more
dangerous antagonist than one who at
tacks US in the open field, and for whose
assaults we are, in measure. prepared.
That dangerous enemy to health, malaria,
must be encountered fully armed. It's
thrusts are sudden. unexpected and dead
ly, and can only be guarded against with
certainty by fortifying the system by a
course of defensive medication. The surest
defense against chills and fever, bilious
remittent, dumb ague and ague cake, is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is also
an eradicator of the most obstinate forms
of malaria which resist the action OF ordi-
nary specifics. and the virus of which re-
mains 10 the system even when the more
violent symptoms are spbdued. Consti-
patton, liver complaint, dyspepsia and
kidney troubles are always relieved by this
genial remedy.

A COLORADO SNOW-STORM,

DENVER, Oct IA snow, rain and sleet
storm, which set in last night, added
heavy wind to its variety today, aud all

it is known that the storm is general in
Colorado and also IN part of Utah. All

Colorado has been entirely interrupted ali

Pure air and liberty are the very es-

that, for the class of whom we are
speaking, the facilities afforded by this
mode of life for pillaging travellers

preference) adds no small zest to their
career.-Blackwood's Magazine.

ANCIENT ASTRONOMY.

A Summary OF What the Old Esyptiana
Knew About tho stars.
We find IN the table ut the Rames-
scum distinct references 10 the bull,
the lion and the scorpion, and il is alao
clearly indicated that at that time the
star Sirius rose heliacally at the begin
ming of the rise of the Nile.
This word heliacally requires little
explanation. The ancients. VINO had
no telescopes. and had To use their hori-
Zon as the only scientific instrument
which they possessed. were very care
ful in determining the various condi-
tions in which star could rise. For
instance, if star were rising at the
same time as the sun was rising, il was
said to rise cosmically, but unless GER
tain very obvious precautions We're taxi
en-, the rising star would not be seen in
consequence of the presence of day
light. 1t IS quite clear that If we OBJ
serve star rising in the dawn it will
get more and more difficult to observe
the nearer the time of sunrise is ap-
preached. Therefore, what the an
clients did was to determine time be-
fore sunrise in the early dawn at which
the star could be very obviously and
clearly seen to rise. The term hell
acal rising was coined to represent a
star rising visibly in the dawn. there
fore, before the sun. Generally
throughout Egypt the sun was sup
posed to- be something like 10 degrees
below the horizon when a star was
stated to rise heliacally.
We find, then, that more than 5000
years ago the Egyptians were per-
fectly familiar with these facts and the
difference between n cosmical and hell.
acal rising was perfectly clear TO them.
But the table at Thebes tells us. more
over. that the suns Journey in -s-
lation to some OF the zodiHcal constelia-
tion was perfectly familiar 5000 yesss
ago.
These, then. are some OF the morn
