FAMOUS ABROAD.
Sells Brothers Big Show
of the World Returns
to AstOnish all at
Home.

When it comes to even the ordi-
nary, old-time, one-ring, small
''round-top" circus, ''men are but
children of larger growth" Small
wonder then that the announced visit
to Frankfort on Monday, Sept. 18th,
of Sells Brothers Enormous United
Shows-the leading and longest es-
tablished of all the great arenic en-
terprises-cr creates a childlike furore
of delighted expectation. Nor is
enthusiastic anticipation in this in
stance misplaced, for the assurances
are genuine and ample that there
will be revealed to us, really and in
trinsically the big show of the world,
so far as rare wild beast possessions,
brilliant equestrian and athletic per-
formances, gorgeous oriental pagean-
try, and revived imperial, ancient
time heroic contests and pastimes can
fill the bill. So there now comes to
us clear from the very opposite side
of "the great globe ITSELF" after a
most marvellous six-months' journey
of over twenty thousand miles, and
crowned with the enthusiastic praises
of great young sister empire, a
wondrously rare exhibit OF strangest
Australasian creatures: regal
Roman hippodrome, a tive-continent
menagerie, three big circuses com
bined; strange desert caravan of
wild, warlike Bedouin athletes; the
only exhibited pair of full-grown
giant hippopotami; huge elevated
Olympian stage; a royal Japanese
troupe; mid-air carnival of daring
evolutions; fairyland frolic for the
children; golden Mother Goose
Pageants, romantic pilgrimages to
Mecca; Arabian Nights Entertain
ments, and tremendous and magnif-
icent free street parade, rolled into
one millionaire alliance, for but one
price of admission; or, more properly
speaking, roaring, rushing, racing,
marching, dancing, gliding, tumbling,
soaring, diving and disporting under
some ten acres of tents. Whew! the
very thought of it fairly makes one
catch his breath. And not only is it
a very great, but it is a very good,
clean, admirably managed show, alb
solutely free from any and every all
noyance or Objectionable association,
and under the immediate eye OF it's
proprietors, who are no irresponsible
and predatory spectators, but men
of high standing at homeopathic,
bank directors, and members OF the
Board of Trade. Not only does our
own press vouch for both them and
their magnificent exhibition in the
most generous terms, but all the
newspapers Of Australia express the
highest admiration for their liberality
and pluck, in venturing so far with
such vast entertainment, in the
face of so many formidable obstacles.
They amply deserve a rousing home
welcome, on all hands, and are get

Railroads In Siberia.

Siberia, coupled as its name is with
stories of Russian barbarity, is not the
barren, terrible land of limitless deserts
which fiction and the drama have pic
tured it. The building of the trans
Siberian railway and the extension of
lines along the northern frontier of
China will greatly change the entire
drama of civilization. The railroad from
Vladivostock to the Ural mountains will
bring that great Russian naval station
within fourteen days journey of st.
Petersburg, and along this route stations
will rapidly grow into towns and offer
opportunities for new and striking de-
velOpment.
Russia's enterprise stimulates that of
China, not only as n matter Of com
petitive ambition, but for strategic
reasons. The railways now being sur
veyed and completed with the Celestial
empire are numerous, and to this end
many foreign engineers are employed.
Soldiers and convicts are largely EN-
ployed as workmen, thus cheapening the
cost of labor as far as possible.-Hart

The Trade In Toy nuekets.

One Of the most profitable branches OF
summer industry is the sale of the little
tin pals and shovels which the children

toys are sold every day that there Is
great competition in the business. Acting
on the principle that tho early bird
catches the worm, the excursion boats
hire boys to peddle the pals on the jour

passengers, who fail to see any virtue in

che stars when ~ Il Neon.
The time for sending out the noon
signal from Washington Is the instant
the sun crosses the seventy-ifth meri-
dian. This, however, is not the sun
which gives us light and heat, but an
invisible, imaginary one; because, fOf
certain reasons, the true sun does not
cross the meridian at the same moment
every day, but during one part OF tho
year he gets over Il u little more ahead
Of time each day. and during the Other
part he is correspondingly behind time;
and so this fictitious sun is used, be
cause its apparent path around the earth
brings it exactly over the same line at
the same moment every day. Now nj
Just what instant this sun crosses the
meridian is determined by means Of the
stars, for time at the observatory Is not
reckoned by the sun but by the stars.
Every clear night an astronomer at the
observatory looks through a large tele-
scope for certain stars which he knows
must cross q certain line az certain times,
and by the use Of an electrical machine
he makes a record Of the time each star
passes, as shown by a clock which keeps
sidereal or star time. He then consults
n printed table, which shows him at just
what time each star must have passed,
and by as much rs this time differs FROM
that recorded by the clock the latter Is
wrong, and in that way the sidereal
clock is regulated. This star time is then
reduced to sun time, which requires some
calculation, as there is n difference be-
tween the two Of about four minutes
each day.
These two clocks--the one keeping star
time and the other sun time-are of very
fine quality, and are as neal perfection
as possible. Although they cannot help
being affected by changes of tempera-
ture and different conditions Of the at
mosphere, they very rarely are more
than q fractional part of a second out of
the way. No attempt is ever made to
correct such errors, but they are care
fully noted and allowed for i'll making
calculations.
For the purpose Of distributing time
third clock, known as n transmitter, il
used. This is set to keep time by the
s%eventy-ifth meridian and is regulated
by tho standard clock before mentioned

clocks, except that it has attached to i

A'hsquest Of Franklin.

The supreme court Of Pennsylvania
has just rendered a decision upholding
the bequest made by Benjamin Frank
lin n century ago TO promote early mar
riagcs. Franklin ~bequeathed e1,000
each to the cities of Philadelphia
and Boston, to be lent upon matri.
mony to apprentices who wished to es-
tablish themselves in business. The
rate of interest to be charged was 8 pei
cent, and Franklin calculated that at
the end of a hundred years the fund in
each city would amount to e131 900.
He directed that the odd 1000 should
be spent by each city in public improve
ments and the remainder lent to young
married couples for another 100 years.
1t was then to be divided between the
city and the state.
A year ago last fall the first century
had rolled around, and the Philadel.
phia fund amounted to a little less than
500, 900, while the Boston fund amount
ed to nearly $4O0, 900, or almost asmuch
as Franklin estimated. Meanwhile,
however, the apprenticeship system had
died out, while the Franklin family had

the descendants Of the great thinker
seized the occasion to bring suit to set
aside the will and have the funds
turned over to Franklin's natural heirs,
viz, themselves. There were several
grounds upon which the heirs brought
this suit, the chief being that the will
established a %''perpetuity," without be-
ing essentially charitable, inasmuch as
interest was charged TO each recipient
Of the fund.
1t was also urged that the will should
be set aside because it was no longer
possible to carry out one of its main
provisions, since apprentices had ceased
to exist. Both Of these grounds and all
others the court rejects as inadequate tC

Tho Sun Cholera Mixture.

More than twenty years ago, when it
was found that prevention of cholera
was easier than cure, a prescription
drawn up by eminent doctors was pub
lished in the New York Sun, andi it took
the name of The Sun cholera medicine.
Our contemporary never lent its name
to a better article. We have seen it in
constant use for nearly two score years
and found it to be the best remedy for
~looseness of the bowels ever yet devised.
No one who has this by him and takes
it in time will ever have the cholera.
We commend it to all u friends.
Even when no cholera is anticipated, it
is an excellent remedy for ordinary sum-
mer complaints, collie, diarrhea. etc.
Take equal parts of tincture of cayenne
pepper, tincture of opium, tincture Of
rhubarb, essence of peppermint and spir-
its of camphor. Mix well. Dose, fifteen
to thirty drops in a little cold water, &c.
cording to age and violence of symp.
