District (Blackoood) taid, he had followed
the last Honorable Speakers remarks with
much interest The honorable Members ar

our position in this matter az being perfectly
in accord with the honorable Members views.

retrenchments could be made in the euor-
mously heavy and in some respects unneccs-
sary and super fuous administrative expenses
of this little place; and we have shewn how q
balance could be secured on the Budgets but
all without result; more than that, we are
not even given a hearing and our vote IS
ignored where, certainly, in many in
stances at least, no harm could have
come ont Of its being followed. The
instance held up 10y the honorable
Member is very suitable, indeed. in our
case the young man liz by his parent forced
into exT enses for fine clothes and other luxu-
ries, and he is encouraged to live beyond hia
means, TO make debts; he father will pay;
but the youth awakens some day to the fact,
that the parent charges him with all that he
has had him to expend. and thus he finds
himself sunk deep in serious liabilities. Now,
would it be the thing for The rarent then
to prevent the young man from trying to
arrive at a more satisfactory economical posi-
ton, by reducing or doing away with some Of
the wonted luXuries? Here we are, year
after year, saddled with immense ex-
psnses which we have had handed
down to us, and Of which we ore
not allowed to rid ourselves, and we are
brought deeper and deeper Town in debt;
we have no means to pay what we are told
to pay, and we have no way to raise the

4 Good Annette

Always accompanies good health, and
an absence OF appetite is an indication
of something wrong. The loss of Il ra-
tiOnal desire for food is soon followed
by lack of strength, for when the supply
of fuel is cut off the fire burns low. The
system gets into low state, and is
liable TO severe attacks of disease. The
universal testimony given by those who
have used Hoods Sarsaparilla, as to its
great merits in restoring and sharpen
ing the appetite, in promoting healthy
action of the digestive organs, and as a
purifier Of the blood, constitutes the
strongest recommendation that can be
urged for any medicine. Those who
have never used Hoods Sarsaparilla
should surely do so this season.

A SCIENTIFIC INVENTION.
An Astronomical Instrument Which Re
cords the User's Observations.


cords the Users Observations.
Carleton College observatory has Sc
cured curious instrument invented by
a scientist at Washington and called a
personal equation machine" says a
Northfield letter to the st. Paul Pioneer
Press.
The object of the instrument is to
harmonic the observations of different
persons who are working together, at
different times or at the same time.
Astronomers well know that no two per-
sons see exactly alike, by which is
meant, for example, no two persons VIII
say that a star passes a wire in a tele-
scope at exactly the same instant. One
will record its apparent passage slow on
true time, while another will almost
uniformly put its time fast Observers
unconsciously form habit of seeing
objects fast or slow on true time, and the
better the observers the more steady
this error is as compared with true time.
This error the astronomer calls the per-
sonal equation of the observer. In
amount the personal equation varies
from .O2 of second Of time to some
thing more than half second for differ
ent observers, either fast or slow on true
time. Such errors as these can not be
tolerated at all in astronomical observa-
tions for fundamental or original work
of nice kind, but must be in some way
eliminated before final reductions can
be attempted.
To accomplish this in one way an in
genious machine has been constructed,
which sets in motion an artificial star
quite like the appearance of real star
in the telescope. AS this artificial star
passes wires in the machine the observ-
er records his observations and the in
strument automatically records the ex-
act time of the real passage of the star
over the same wires. Now both records
are made by the aid of the electric cur
rent, and consequently are perfectly
true. These records arr taken automatic
ally in ink on an instrument called n
chronometer, and hence their differ
ences can be measured with the utmost
accuracy, and in this way the error of
the observer on true time is satisfactor-
lily known.
The machine is in use every night
that observers work either together or
singly, SO that changes in individual
personal equations may be detected, as
we'll as the differences that may exist
between observers. The instrument,
therefore, furnishes an unvarying stand
ard for accu rate observation.

the market would allow it. He think s
that after a few years there Will be uo
range cattle in the state. For several
years past the range cattle have been
gradually but surely diminishing in
number as one ranch after another is
being homesteaded or preempted and
made into ranches, so the range is be
