COMPANION of the Dog Star.

Sirius, the dog-star, which is the
brightest to our eyes of all the fixed
stars, has very acknowledgements,
never visible except with powerful telc-
scopes. 1t was first seen in 1862, and in
1890 it disappeared, the reason of it's
disappearance being that it had moved
so close to Sirius as to be lost to view in
the overpowcring light of that great
star. During the time of its visibility
the fact had been ascertained that il was
revolving about Sirius at a rate which
would carry it completely around in
some so years. The shape of its orbit,
which is an ellipse with Sirius situated
in one of the foci, being calculated, as
tronomeys felt certain that in few
years the vanished star would reappear
as it moved into part of its orbit more
distant from Sirius. This expectation
has now been fulfilled, for recently the
missing star was seen again at the
Flagstaff observatory in Arizona. Al
though it is probably half as large as
Sirius, it is but one-ten-thousandth part
as luminous as that star.-Youth's Com

Is the weapon with which she conquers her
world. Almost every woman believes that
she possesses at least some one attractive
feature and strives to make the most Of that.
But mere regularity of feature is not the
most attractive form Of beauty.
Mankind is more influenced by the bright
glowing vitality of perfect health. classic
cast of countenance will not make woman
attractive and captivating, if she is pale,
thin, weak and nervous, or has a pimply
complexion OF unwholesome breath
These complaints are due to imperfect
nutrition. The digestive and blood making
organs fail to extract the needed nourish-
ment from the food, and the liver is too slug
gish to cleanse the blood of bilious impuri-
ties. The entire constitution becomes weak
and poisoned.
The only perfect antidote for this state of
things is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t gives power to the digestive and
nutrtive organs to make an abundance of
pure, rich, highly vitalized blood, which
permeates the whole system with the sweet
ness of purity the beauty of womanly vigor
and animation.
1t creates solid, healthy flesh and natural
color; clears the complexion; dispels wrink-
les; rounds out the form and imbues the
whole physique with the irresistible natural
magnetism of perfect health.
Miss Julia Ellis, of Faith Mclean Co.. KY,
writes: "After suffering for a long while with
lingering disease, Twas advised to try DR. Pierce's
medicines. l took seven bottles Of the Golden
Medical Discovery and Favorite Prescription
and found relief. Life is now no longer burden

BERIINa SEA COMMISSION.

Arguments Opened in BEHALF OF che
British Government.
Halifax, N. s.; Aug. 29.-The Bering
sea commission has resumed its ses-
sions. The argument was opened by
Hon. f. Peters on behalf Of the Brit
1sh government. The ground taken by
Mr.. Peterson was that the United
States did not seize the property Of the
sealers for its intrinsic value, but to
prevent the carrying on Of the sealing
business by such vessels. This it was
claimed was done In the face Of pronl-
ises given by the United States gov
eminent that recurrence Of the seiz-
ures Of 1886 would not be repeated.
This promise had not been observed.
He further claimed on behalf Of his
government reimbursement for all
damages arising from loss by pros
pective catches. This latter conten-
ton is strongly disputed by the United
States representatives. Both sides
have cited many cases on this point,
and the latter part of Mr.. Peterson's
address was wholly taken up in es-
tablishing this point.
