LIGHT OF THE PLANETS.
Peculiarities of the Bright Morn
ing and Evening Stars Noticed.


Youths Companion.
The remarkable brilliancy of Venus,
Jupiter and Mars during the summer
and autumn of 1892 was widely noticed
and admired. Interesting observations
were made in regard to their relative
brightness, the visibility of two of them
i'll full sunshine, and the shadows cast
by all.
Venus, as she richly deserves, takes
the lead. A correspondent of L'AStro-
nOmic, M. GuiOt, of the observatory of
Juvisy, writes that Oh Aug. %. at 3
o'clock in the morning, he was aston
ished at the brilliancy of the light that
entered the window, and found it came
from Venus.
He saw his own shadow moving on
the wall, observed his watch hanging
perpendicularly, and drew its shadow
projected by the rays of the planet on
the tapestry of the room. Objects were
visible as in moonlight; he could even
see to read the newspaper. 10
An astronomer of Quebec narrates
more wonderful experience. On the
morning of Aug. 80, at O'Clock, he saw,
with the aid of his telescope, the whole
disk of Venus, the contour of the obscure
part appearing more luminous than the
rest and seeming to form light ring.
He could hardly believe the evidence of
his senses, and called his wife to add
her observations to his own. Both of
these observers saw Venus in crescent
form many times during June and Au
gust. She was also visible in full day
light.
Jupiter gave light enough for reading
the newspaper. was visible in the day
time, and cast shadows. A curious OBJ
servation Of the appulse of the moon
and Jupiter on Aug. Ii was made by an
astronomer of MarSeilles. The time
when the appulse occurred in that 10
cality was between Z and s O'Clock in
the morning. The observer saw dis
tinctly with the naked eye the planet
Just touching the northern horn of the
moon in the blaze of sunlight.
Mars cast appreciate shadows. An
observer at Bordeaux relates his eX-
perience. His observations were made
on Aug. 80, when the planet was nearly
on the meridian, and in room where
Its light came through the open window.
He found that sheet of white paper,
invisible in the obscurity of the
room, was clearly distinguished when
placed on the wall opposite the win
dow, that the shadows between the
fingers were easily discerned, and that
the title and number of words in a
newspaper could be recognized but not
read.
Many years must elapse before Mars
at one of his grand oppositiOns, Jupiter
near perihelon and opposition, and
Venus at her greatest brilliancy, will
again shine together in the summer

SPRING CATARRH.

Chronic catarrh is the baJhe of Ameri-
can civilization. There is no organ OF
the human body that it cannot destroy'
nor disease ii does not initiate. Catarrh
prevails in all seasons, and spares no
calling or vocation. No locality is en-
tirely free from its ravages, no amount
of vitality can withstand its attack.
Neither childhood nor old age is exempt
from its blightlng presence, and 1t does
not respect sex, color. or nationality.
Summer and winter, spring and autumn,
chronic catarrh ceases not 10 aflllct
large per cent of the inhabitants OF
this continent. At each change OF
season the symptoms change, but the
disease remains the same. In summer
catarrh of the bowels causes collie, chol-
era mOrbuS, diarrhWa and dySentery lin
the winter catarrh of the respiratory
organs eXciteS cough, consumption, and
discharges from the head; while in
springtime catarrh in the system gives
rise TO dyspepsia. impure blood, nerY-
business and biliousneSs.
Spring laSSiTude tired feelings, stom-
ach disturbances, nervousness ana
blood disorders are all the result, dl-
rectly or indirectly, of chronic catarrh.
When this disease has once fastened II
self on tine system there is no condition
or ailment it will not so closely initiate
as to lead the victim 10 suppose that
with each change of season new dis
ease has got hold of him. Pe-ru-na IS
not local treatment Tor catarrh, but 1t
eradicateS it from the system entirely.
Once cured by Pe-ru-na, catarrh never
bOtherS again, unless it is acquired IN
the same way it was at first. As rad
zeal cure for catarrh Pe-ru-na is without
an equal, or even rival. Doctors
recommend it. druggists advise 1t, ana
patients are continually pralSlng IL.
Catarrh cannot be cured by local treat
ment alone. A thorough course OF III
ternal treatment with Pe-ru-na affords
the only reasonable prospect OF cure.
Sprays, doucheS. inhalentS and gargles
sometimes relieve, but never cure. Pe-
ru-na cures by removing the cause. 1t
gradually eradicateS the catarrh from
the system. wherever its location.
An illustrated treatise on catarrh will
be sent free to any address by the Pc
ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company OF
Columbus, Ohio.

UPSET PROVERBS,

Away with those old saws
With proverbs old and stale
And Tupperlstlc laws
Let's be mind-free and haleI
Smooth lies loves easy course;
A duck can't always swim:
And you can force your horse
To drink-by gagging him.
Whistling girls are sweet;
And hens that crow, well grown;
The pomp of power may beat
The pathway to throne.
A rolling stone goes far;
Good broth needs many cook,
And modern counsels are
To leap before you look.

ROME, Mar. 1S.-Following close
upon the unsuccessful attempt to blow
up the Ancini Mattel palace yester-
day, another dynamite outrage was at
tempted to-day at the Palazzo Altieri,
the headquarters of one of the military
organizations, whose duty it is is to at
tend the Pope at the vatican. Early
this morning boy who was passing
the Palazzo Altieri saw u mass of what
he at first thought was mortar lying
upon the steps of the palace. Perceiv-
ing smoke rising from the mass the
boy at once stamped out what proved
to be fuse. What the boy had at
first mistaken for mass of mortar was
powerful bomb containing dynamite
or some other explosive. A number OF
arrests of anarchists have been made in
the city recently, and this fact has APP
parently caused the friends ofthc men
arrested to attempt these outrages as
means frevenge. Another warning
was received to-day that further at
tempts would shortly be made to cause

Shortly after the steamer Charlotte,
of the York River line, reached ALL
mond's wharf, near West Point, Va,
Thursday evening, a venerable gentle
man approached purser J. T. Riggans
and asked him to perform the marriage
ceremony for young man and young
woman who had come, he said, con-
siderable distance expressly to have
Mr.. Riggan marry them. As that gen
tleman is not minister, he was consid-
erably surprised at the request, and for
some time was at a loss to know what
to do. He finally suggested 10 the
couple, who gave their rames as John
T. Regensburg and Emma Edwards,
that he would take them to Baltimore,
where they could find plenty of minis
tiers of the Gospel by one of whom the
knot could be lawfully tied This sat
isfied all concerned Neither of the
young people had been away from
their native county-Gloucester-be-
fore, nor had they ever seen village
of over two hundred population, and
their surprise when they saw the busy
streets Of a great city yesterday morn
ing was very amusing to the other pas
sengers. On reaching the pier at
Baltimore Mr.. Riggans called hack
man Kirby, who has frequently otlici-
ated on similar occasions, aud explain
ing the situation, asked him to help
the young people to get married. Mr.
Kirby accordingly escorted them to the
office of the clerk of the Court of Gem
mon Pleas, where q license was pro-
cured, and then drove to the parsonage
of tho Broadway Methodist Protestant
Church, where they were married by
Rev. ]. w. Trout. Immediately after
the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Regens-
burg returned to the Charlotte, where
they spent the entire afternoon. The
management of the line rendered the
happy couple the use of one of the
bridal staterooms, and in this way they
made the return trip to their Virginia
home, which they will reach to-day.
The groom is a fne-looking Virginia
farmer, about twenty-one years of age.
He was not dressed in the convention
al black, with high silk hat, but, on
the contrary, wore home-spun suit,
the trousers of which were too short at
the bottom by at least six inches. His
head covering was a sombrero, with
hrim which extended almost beyond

one who presented her witha sprig of
shamrock, wore that also,

RIGHT OR wrong as they may be,
many people will go to their graves, as
in the Guiteau case, in the firm belief
that Schneider was insane. And as
two experts in insanity testified to that
effect, it would have been just as well,
and certainly could have done nobody
any harm, if his sanity had been tested
by temporary confinement in a lunatlc
asylum, where he would have been I'M
der constant surveillance, and all doubts
been removed. He may have desired
to be rid of his wife in order to marry
another woman, but certainly no man
with common sense would have shot
and killed both his wife and her brother
on a crowded street in order to attain
that end.
