the average person who has never in
vestigated the subject looks upon the
term astrology as signifying one who
goes about the country like a gypsy,
telling fortunes"
With a great splurge they promise
to tell you who you will marry, how
many children you will have, the exact
date of your DEATH where to find lost
or stolen property, where to find treas
ure of gold and silver, to unite the
separated and cause speedy marriage,
to commune with the dead and to To-
cate disease by lock of hair.
How foolish, Yet thousands believe
it can be done. No one can foretell
these things. In all the long ages past
no Hebrew or Egyptian prophet, no
Greek oracle, Roman sybil, American
clairvoyant, Spiritualist or fortune
teller ever foretold such things. The
veil that hides them is as impenetra-
Bile as a dark and dreary night, when
the fog hangs heavily over the sea, and
there is every reason to believe that
it will ever remain so.
Whittier we go we know not, nor
whence we came 1t is all hidden
mystery To pretend to know that
which we only wish or hope for, is a
lie.
A scientific astrologer Goes not pre-
tend to solve any of these things. From
his knowledge of the influences OF the
heavenly bodies he can judge what is
best for a person to do, but just what
the person will do must be determined
by the persons themselves. Astrology
is the science of natural phenomena.
The word science means CLASSIFIED
knowledge, or what is known OF any
particular subject. There is the sci
ence of medicine. The science Of as
tronomy and of mathematics. Science
is the knowledge and the art is the pro-
cess Of turning that knowledge into
practical use. The science Of astrology
never discovered a planet, but the art
of astrology, with the help of the art OF
mathematics, astounds the world with
its achievements. In its principles
there are no failures; to its rules there
are no exceptions. The art is estima-
tive and the results depend upon the
abilities of him who applies it. There
are brilliant astronomers as well as
poor ones: so there are astrologers
whose deductions command the admir-
alton of all thinking people, and there
are those who blunder on every occa-
sion. Astrology has been studied and
believed in by the wisest men that have
! ever lived, and yet there are people
| whose feeble intellect never grasped an
| idea or applied rule. who will say
II don't believe in astrology." The fol-

who Is small would look as if she had
assumed an extinguisher instead of a
chapeau if she omitted the picturesque
cloak. Only in black? Yes, the cart
wheel hat should be only in black and
only trimmed by it's one huge feather
and its glittering clasp. With 1t, when
the day is very cold, is put on with the
greatest care the long, full empire veil,
which is drawn softly around it, tied
at the back, brought forward and
Topped in huge bows and ends just to
one side of the chin.
The girl who always looks well is
the girl who has many wells and wears
them to suit her appearance. She is
the one who knows that the mesh
suit her the next. To-day, feeling par
ticularly we'll and having a bright
color, she assumes a thin, delicate veil,
with big black dots set far apart, that
only brings out her beauty instead of
concealing it, but tomorrow, when she
feels wretchedly, when she realizes
that her skin is sallow, her eyes dull,
she carefully draws her thickly dotted
veil over her face, and then she can
dare the keenest criticism, since she
knows that it has acted in the most
charitable way, hiding her defects and
by it's skilfull concealment reminding
the locker on only of her beauties. The

never puts it on in such way that 1t

wishes to arrange it. She has learned
the art of the Frenchwoman. Watch
her. She goes in to luncheon at some
famous restaurant; her bodice is as
close fitting as possible. but no matter
how tight it is she raises first one hand
and then the other, loosens her veil,
and by few deft touches she has 1T
carefully lifted. She can put it in place
Just as quickly AUD with apparently as
little trouble She does not have a
huge knot in the front of her veil to
give the desired fullness, but instead,
with needle and silk, she has carefully
gathered it so that the pouch arrange
ment suited to her face is possible.
She allows sufficient, in buying her
veil, to tie it in the back and, tying IL,
carefully conceals the loops and ends
under pretty pins and does not leave
them sticking out, bobbing around and
suggesting the clipped tail Of a, fox ter
rier. The woman who understands the
kind of veil she. needs is the woman
who need never fear that world at
large will know her age or prove itself
capable of deciding whether she is
locking we'll or not. A very young CIR
should never wear veil unless, in
deed, she puts on thick veil to protect
her face from cold or sun. The mos
unbecoming veil and one of the mos
expensive is the black brussels ne

being one of large flowers. 1t looks
like a curtain on woman and tends t
cut off her chin, so that she has
semi-idiotic look. The veil that is

B Writes About the Oddities OF
Personal Adornment.
copyright, 1879

Copyright, 1871
Last winter, if you belonged to
class of any kind, you discovered that
it was fashionable to be Industrious.
When the richest girl in town came in,
she took off her coat and gloves, pro-
duced small bag and from it took a
half knitted golf stocking, and all dur
ing the lecture or reading those
needles worked as industriously as if
they had been managed by a German
fraulein. This seemed queer. The
climax was reached when one after
noon at the opera well known girl
sat listening to the delightful music
and working away at a piece of
tapestry, done in old fashioned cross
stitch. Honestly, one must confess
that the opera is hardly the place to
exhibit ones ability with the needle,
but it looks rather well to see our
young women busy as possible on
something intended either to decorate
the home or to be used in some ath-
letic game.
Another fad which has overtaken
the fashionable girl is the selling of
her old gold, and by this | mean all
the old gold mountings, heavy brace
lets, big, crude brooches and inartistic
pieces OF lJewelry, that have accumu-
lated within the last fifty years. Of
course the best jeweler gives her alb
solute value for the gold, and then for
1t she may take either a modern piece
Ior select some bit of silver or gold in
the way of a toilet utensil that will
last ner for long time and stand
as a representative of her economy.
One naturally connects needles and
pins, for, according to Mother Goose,
through needles and pins the average
trouble in the world is sure to begin.
But, apropos of pins, it would seem as
~ the husband of to-day would be
forced to give his wife absolute pin
money, a5he did in the days of Queen
Eliz abetE, when pins were sold, not by
the 6zen papers, not by a single
paper but by the half dozen, and she
thought herself fortunate who possess
ed round dozen of good pins, but
to-day to hold up the fancy neck dress
ing, to catch the veil in place, to ar
range the lace cravat, there are very
small gold pins, each with a tiny gem
just at the top. OF course these are
mere chips, but they are sufficiently
good to make a pin cost from rs
cents to 81 apiece.

HORSE FOUND IT'S WAY HOMO.

Sir W. r. Hamilton kept a head
strong horse, to which he had given
the name of Comet, and used to gallop
it in circles or perhaps in ellipses
round the lawn. On one occasion he
mounted him in Dublin just after a
curious mathematical problem had
suggested itself to him. The horse
took a mean advantage of his abstrac-
ton and ran away. when | found
it impossible TO stop him." he said.
Il gave him his head and returned to
the problem. He ran for four miles

from SHIRT SLEEVES TO SHIRT
SLEEVES"

From the Savannah News.
1t is said that the young Count de Cas-
tellane, who married a daughter of the
late Jay Gould is spending the fortune
which she brought to him with a degree
of recklessness which will soon bring him
to the bottom of the Golfer. A New York
paper the other day printed the pictures
of six young men, the sons of well-known
millonaires now dead, who have within a
few years run through with the greater
part if not the whole of their inheritances.
Such incidents of every day life should
serve to reassure persons who think they
see danger TO the republic in the accumu-
lation of great fortunes. There are few
great, fortunes which are not quickly
scattered after the passing of those who
collected them.

hood of St. Andrew, by the Rector
Rev. d N. Kirkby, John Harman,
Esq, introduced the speaker, Fred
Ikeler Esq. who delivered his well
known lecture on "Agitators." He
described the different kinds of agita-
tors, and to say that the audience
was both charmed and delighted is
but faint praise. He is one of the
most intelligent and talented of plat
form entertainers. A selection by the

The proceeds were about $40, which
will go into the new organ fund. The

THE LEADER COMPANY STORE.

Last week Tuesday there appeared
in several Philadelphia papers dis
patch dated at Bloomsbury stating
that the Bloomsburg Carpet Works,
the Magee Carpet Works, and the
Leader Store, all owned by the same
people, had failed for $Ioc, 900.
There was no truth in this statement
SO far as the Leader Store was con-
cerned. 1t has not failed, and is
open and in full operation now, and
will SO continue. The foundation for
the report lay in the fact that the
Magee Carpet Works had confessed
judgments for large amounts, and
executions were issued thereon, and
it is generally supposed that James
Magee end has large interest in the
Leader Store.
Among the papers that pnbl shed
this article were the Times, Press,
inquirer, and several others. They
were notified at once of the error, and
the next day or two corrected the
statement, and admitted that 1t was
untrue so far as the Leader Co., was
concerned. A representative Of the
Inquirer was in town looking the
matter up, as that paper and probably
all the others, had been notified that
the case had been placed in the hands
of attorneys by the Leader Co, who
claim that their credit has been injur-
ed, and that they have been greatly
damaged by the publication. The
Times gives J. F. Tracy, as Its inform
ant and made retraction, as did all
the others.
1t was gross piece of carelessness
to send such dispatch, for visit at
the Prothonotary's Office would have
shown that no judgments had been
entered against the Leader Co. It
the papers named do not settle, it is
likely that suits will be brought
against them.
