KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet.
ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; eflectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid.

Baltimore sun. z-...
Looking about or o o'clock in the
evening toward the east, we see not far
from the meridian the splendid star
Arcturus in the constellation Bo0es.
This constellation contains over 80
stars, of which, however, but eight are
more OF less conspicuous, notably Arc
turus itself. Arcturus is one of those
stars of which astronomers have lie.
tccied proper motion. 1t is travelling
through space at the rate of 81 miles
second at least, though its distance
from us is so enormous us to render the
relative position of Arcturus to the
other stars scarcely perceptible. Ithas a
decidedly yellowish tinge, which dis.
tinguishcs it from most oil the other
first-magnitudc stars. The constella.
ton Virgo has passed the meridian, but
still being high up is very favorable for
observation, and presents particularly
line appearances on account of the planet
Saturn's sojouning within its boundary
lines, not far from the first-magntude
star Spica. Near the eastern horizon we
see the two consultations Cygnus and
Aquia on the point of rising. Toward
the southeast the tiery-red star Antares
may be seen, the principal star OF the
beautiful summer constellation ScOrpio,
TO be seen at greater advantage during
| the next two months. In the northeast
u star has risen which by its lustre can
| not but at once attract the gazer's atten-
| tion-the brilliant star Vega in the con-
stellation Lyra Between il and Arcturus
we again behold Corona Borealis and
Hercules. Ursa Major is overhead.
In the southwest the fine constellation
Leo 50 conspicuous by its sickle-like
shape, is bending toward the western
| horizon. Connecting its brightest star,
Rcgulus, with Spica and the latter with
| Arcturus, we have large right triangle,
| with Spica at the vertex of the right
| angle. Between Bootes and Ursa Major
we see a number of stars scattered abouS
which in modern times received tho
name of Canes NenatIci or the Hunting
| Dogs. The stars in this constellation
are so small and widely scattered that
they scarcely engage our attention, with
the exception Of one, which, in honor Of
the unfortunate Charles |. Of England,
received the name of Cor Carroll. Be.
tween it and Denebola, in Leo, the
beautiful group Coma Berenices cannot
fail to attract the attention Of the star
gaZer CAMS Minor, Auriga, Perseus
and Gemini, which during the winter
nights engaged our attention so pleas
antiy, have disappeared below the west
ern horizon, indicating by their depar-
turc from the evening sky the rapid APP
proach of summer.
