Within the twenty-four hours
 which elapse from one sunrise to another the astronomers of the
 world have not less than 10000, 900 stars within the range of their pow erful telescopes which today point cut in all direction towards the blue canopy which overhangs the earth These bright, shining, silvery disks are each burning central sun sur rounded with it's own colony of plants each of these 2o,0O0,OOO communities of the skies having it's allotted dart to perform in the economy of nature. When we con sider that the nearest of these is 25O0O0 times as far away from us as our own light and life giver and that each of those planetary col. onies is from 10000, 1000, to 50O,- 100000 miles from some other fam fly of swinging worlds, wn begin to get some light conception of the grandeur and magnifcence of the univese. Anotherthought in this connection. Each of these 20,000- 900 suns is known to be moving somewhere throug illimitable space, taking it's brood of worlds with it, some of them travelling upwards of 100000 miles an hour. It is such stupendous facts as these that have caused the writer to often remark that no brain can conceive of what Is meant by "space," universe" or eternity"

WE DON'T VOTE FOR PRESIDENTS.
General Harrison Explains When and How the Chief Magistrates are Elected.

eve are in the habit of speaking of the Presidential election as talk
 ing place on the first Tuesday after
 the first Monday in every fourth
 year, but Tn fact no vote is given
 for President and Vice-President
 at that time at all," writes ex-
 President Harrison in February Ladies' Hcme Joslrnaz. "The names of the party nominees for President and Vice-President are printed on the ballots, but in fact no voter votes or can vote for them. He votes for certain men whose names are on the ticket as electors; and, by the act of February 3, 1887, these men assemble in each State at the Capital on the second Mon day of January and vote for President and Vice-President. These votes from each State are sealed and sent in duplicate to the President of the United States Sen ate, one copy by mail and the other by special messenger. So that, in fact, our President is elected on the second Monday of January in every fourth year, though we are not in doubt as to who is to be chosen, be cause the electors are morally bound by the nomination in con- vention." Should an elector fail to vote for the nominee of h1s party: General Harrison ayers, he would become an object of general execration, and in times of very high excitement might be the sub feet of lynching

The Decay 8{ Manners,

The Mexican Hesa6f, published In the City of Mexico, under tho foregoing caption, has the folloul ing:
 In the United States and in England, f we may believe the
 statetuents of many of their hest journals, there-is q distiaet decay
 of manners. Modern rush, the de- votion to ''busineSs" and the in- ttfcduction of women into many
 empioyments once m0llepoFized by men, may be taken to be the prime
 causes of this degeneracy or court esy. An English journal devoted 1 to the polite arts and to the inter- ests of women, says that society ls
 daily getting more learned more 1 brimful of all kinds of Knowledge,
 but Is not getting more refined, and the rcfnements Of life, commonly
 called good manners, must be tauget in the nursery, the home circle, and the earliest school room. There Is neither time nor place for them afterwards; but as the twig Is
 bent the tree Is inclined, and if
 English girls are to grow up gentle
 sweet and dignifed, these good old coul tesies of manner must be in- culcated from the cradle. In the United States the decay of man. ners Is apparent; women in the great cities are not treated with the
 deference of former. times. One
 may recall in the old St. Charles
 hotel in New Orleans, if lady
 chanced to pass through & corridor
 or the "ofice" thronged with men,
 every hat came off, and much of this chivalrous politeness is still
 observable in the southern states.
 Here in Mexico the latin courtesy and innate chivalry as respects
 women still remains. Women here are not factors in the business world, their old kingdom, that of the home, still survives intact, and there they rule as queens. The women of Mexico are among the most charming of their sex, kindly, sweet and good. In the upper class families they are we'll edueat- ed, frequently proficient in several languages, we'll and solidly trained in music, and all are efficient housekeepers. Too much cannot be said in praise of the er-charm- ing women of this fair land. May they never be forced, by the evolu- tion of "business," Unto competi- tion with men, although one may welcome the opening of some light employments to women forced to gain their bread. But it is against their being trust into the harsh and bitter struggle of life that one would guard them. The Mexican home, which is indeed home, in the best sense of that good English word, still exists, and it stands for all that is refining and elevatiEg in the national life of Mexica.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being constitutional dis
ease requires constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation Of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in curative pow
ers. that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that il fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.
