you can point out the Jealous Venus all
ablaze at the conduct Of Mars. The lat
ter, you may explain, Was in conjunc-
ton with Venus on the 9th, and they
are now little more that 3 quarter Of a
degree apart. Mars, however, is com-
paratively inconspicuous, while Venus
bazes for two hours after the setting Of
the sun, her lovliness increases every
time you take this evening walk. None
can look upon without acknowledging
her as the queen OF the evening sky.
Even the beauties OF the starry constel-
lation, drifting by 10 their eternal march,
fail to detract from her charms, but on
the contrary, by their brilliant setting,
give additional luster. AS the months
succeed each other we shall see more and
more of Venus, as Is 1t not until Decen-
Der that she reaches her greatest dis
lance TO the eastward OF the sun.
Castor and Pollux, the famous twins,
which were in the west, north OF Regu-
lus, barely month ago, have vanished,
and the only bright star passing any
where near the zenith which will be
west OF the point overhead at that time
is Arcturus. This last mentioned star
is almost In line made by prolonglng
the handle of the Dipper.
Pass rapidly on to the next one In the
southeast, which is Antares, OF the
group of the Scorpion, and do not give
the fair one time to talk empty moth
ingness about the form OF the Dipper.
One young man once called it Charles
Vain, and the young lady, happening
TO be we'll read, knew that Charles was
a drunken wagner who called on Ju-
plter to help get his wagon out OF q
ditch, and dire results followed.
You see you have to be considering
what thoughts your words suggest TO
your fair companion. A young fellow
who CHANGED to know this constellation
and was showing of his knowledge, In
advertentIy remarked: at does not look
much like dipper, does itP" and she
innocently replied. mo, 1t looks more
like a cleaver." Cleaver naturally sug-
gested mutton chops and mutton chops
and tomato sauce suggested divorce
the Pickwick divorce case-and those
two said good night whiting kissing on
their return and never spoke TO each
other again, which was sad.
But to resume very carefully: This
evening Mercury and the growing cres-
cent pass each other at very dignl-
fed distance, and on Wednesday even
ing fair Cynthia's white arms will be
stretched toward Saturn, and come as
close to his coat lapels as at any time
this month. On the Goth she gets her
first quarter Mem: Remember the
waterl, and on the 2sth she becomes
the beautiful full moon Of midsummer
which so perfectly graces the view,
tlngeing everything with sombre sheen
and leaving all blemishes in darkness.
Mercury reached his greatest eastern
elongation or distance from the sun on
the 18th, and now be is Oh his way back
to the center of the solar system, and
will pass to the morning calendar early
IN August and have quiet time there
for six weeks, when he again joins 'the
boys" or evening stars. Neptune Is a
morning star also, just as at present.
With a very strong glass-or say a
botte-he can be seen about the time
the milk carts rattle over the city pave
ments, riding in Bull and waving red
flag at the end Of his battered old trl-
dent. With two bottles his latch key
can be seen hanging on the Bulls left
horn.
