Companion of the Dog Star.

Sirius, the dog-star, which is the
brightest TO our eyes of all the fixed
stars, has a very remarkable companion,
never visible except with powerful tele-
scopes. 1t was first seen in 1862. and in
1890 it disappeared, the reason of its
disappearance being that it had moved
so close to Sirius as to be lost to view in
the overpowering light of that great
star. During the time of its visibility
the fact had been ascertained that it 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
tronomers felt certain that in few
years the vanished star would reappear
as it moved into a part of it's 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 butone-ten-thousandth part
as luminous as that star.-Youth's Com

With some difficulty he subdued the
flames, and the child was taken to DR..

head were burned into blisters and his
body was badly scorched. The full ex.

DIDN'T WRITE IT.
History Of Chapter in 1.-THE virgin
lama"

History OF Chapter In "The Vtrgtn-
ians."
Many readers of THE Virginians"
have wondered how Thatckeray was
able to write so graphic and correct an
account of his hero's escape from Fort
Duquesne and his journey through the
wilderness. as Thackeray had never
seen the magnificent valley through
daring escape. AS a matter of fact
Thackeray did not write it at all.
He was at-a dinner in London with
Anthony Trollope, Willie Collins and
other celebrities.
The guests were sitting down to their
wine and cigars, when ThacReray. who
was entertaining the company with his
wit and satire. suddenly stopped, and.
looking at his watch, exclaimed:
Gentlemen, I must leave you! Ihave
promised the printer chapter of The
Virginians' tomorrow morning and
haven't written q line of it yet. hate
to 60, but l must. The printer is in
exorable; so, wishing you all nnother
meeting when can be longer with you,
bid you q good evening"
There was present a minor author
named Kennedy and Thackeray had al
most reached the door when he called
him back and said:
Perhaps can write the chapter for
you. What are you going to describe?''
The great novelist seemed little as
tonished at this bold proposition. but
hewas too polite to say what he thought.
"Kennedy, you are extremely kind
and gladly would l let you write the
chapter for me, for l hate to leave a
jolly party in the midst of fun"
"Then don't" all the company cried.
"Stay with us and let Mr.. Kennedy
write it"
II have half a mind to let you dc. it,
just for the fun of the thing. 1t is a
chapter, chiefly of description, giving an
account of my hero's escape from Fort
Duquesne."
"If that's what you are writing about
I can do it. for know every foot of the
ground"
"All right. then" said Thacker;iy. re-
suming his seat at the board. 'Let me
have it early tomorrow morning"
I Mr.. Kennedy withdrew, and, going to
his home, wrote the fourth chapter of
the second volume of "The Virginians. u
and thus it happened that the narrative
of the hero's flight was so accurate as
to the topography of the country
through which he passed.-N. Y. Re
