ANCIENT ASTRONOMY.

The beginnings Of astronomy were on
the tops of towers Of Babylon ana the
pyramids Of Egypt. 1t is believed oy
many writer's that both classes OF struc-
lures were erected for astronomic~I pur-
poses. AS early as the time OF JOB, near
" 2.OOO years before christ, most oil the
stars had been divided into consultations
The writer of Job mentions Arcturus'
Orion and PIeiades as being familiar. The
modern science dates from the labors OF
Copernicus. Tycho Brahe and Newton.
To accomplish anything in this lie
one must pay the price. One cannot
propel a wheelbarrow without walking
along behind it.-Boston Transcript

government has called upon the Khedive
to expel an the Greeks from Egypt. As
the Greeks number $4,000 and are the chief

win undertake TO protect them, and thus
the expulsion will be avoided.

Prevention must be the chief reliance
OF the farmer. 1t may be possible to
cure mild cases, but even then all the
profit Of raising and feeding the hog is
gone. The margin is small enough,
anyway, and il hog is sick six or eight
weeks 1t will prove an expensive ami
NAL. Aside from the preventive meas
ures recommended for keeping the dis
ease out OF the herd, one should bo care
full to keep the animals in the best Of
health Anything that tends to weaken
or debilitato naturally predisposes them
to attack; hence thoy should DO fed on
clean surface, and their drinking wa.
ter should be pure. 1t is not good plan
to feed them fermonted slops.
For bedding, wheat straw or shredded
fodder is good, bnt oat straw should bo
avoided. Bedding should be changed at
least once week; If there seems to be
much dust in the house or shed when
the bedding is changed, it is good idea
to spray the floor and walls with water
containing little carbolio acid. This
hardens tho dust, while the small
amount Of moisture does no harm.

POPE PLUS AND JEFFERSON DAVIS
Letter From the Former to the Confed- crate Leader-Disputed Question

crate 1eader-D1sputed Question
 Washington Post.
 On several occasions it has been stated from the pulpit that Pope Plus K. recognized the Confsderacy during the civil war and sent his blessing and con- graduation to Jefferson Davis. Reports of such assertions by div1nes have been published from time to time. Dr. Town send referred to the subjecE at a Union soldiers memorial service at Metropoli- tan M. D. church few weeks ago, and this inspired Captain O'Farrell, prsm- inent Catholic of this city, to inquire into the subject. He wrote to the secretary of state for information.
 Captain O'Farrell continued his inves- t1gaition until he discovered the original lefser in Latin from the popeto J ffsrson Davis. in the Confederate archives in the treasury department. The following translation was supplied to Captain O'Farfelf from the rebellion record office of the war department:
 IlluStrious. and Honorable Sir: Healthi We have received with all fitting kind nisss the gentleman sent by your excel- lerey to deliver us your letters bearing date the 29d of September last. We cer- tainly experienced no small plea sure when we learned from the same gentle man and the letters of your excellency with what emotions of joy Ind gratitude towards us you were affected, illustriou5 and honorable sir, when you were first
 
 revered brethren, John, Archbishop of New York, and John, Archbishop of New Orleans, written on the 18th of October, of last year, in which we again an1 again urged. and exhorted the same rever md brethren that, as behooved their distinL euished piety and their episcopal charge, they should most zealously use every ef- fort in our name also to bring to an end the fatal civil war that had arisen m those regions and that those people of America might at length attain mutual peaeae aud ic'9neord, and be united in mutual charity.
 And very grateful was it to us, illustri- ous and honorable sir, to perceive that you and. those. people were animated with the same feelings of peace and tram quility which we s9 earnestly ineulcated in the letters mentioned as having been addressed to the aforesaid rverend breth- m. And would that other people also of those regions and their rulers. seriously considering how grievous and mournful a thing is internecince war, would be pleased with tranquil minds to embrace and enter upon counses of peace. We, indeed shall rot cease with smto fervent prayers to beseech and pray God. the omnipotent and all-good, to pour out the spirit of Christian charity and peace upon all those people of America, and deliver them from the evils so great with which they are afflicted
 And of the most mercifu1 Lord of Com passion himself we likewise pray that he may Hume your excellency with the light of His grace, and may conjoin you in perfect love with, ourself.

Plattsburg, N. Y, Aug. 5.-A fine, bright day, with enough breeze to make it agreeable, greeted the inha bitants of this part of the country today, greatly to the delight of then resident and his party.
 The drill of the Twenty first regiment, United Sta tes army under command of Lieut. Col. McCabben, was again re- peated at 11:s0 today on the lawn to the west of the Hotel Champlain. Presi- dent and Mrs.n NcFSinley viewed the par ade. from. the balcony of their own. apart ments; and Vice-President Hobart and family from the apartments set apart for them off the broad piazza, watched the troops as they paraded.
 After the soldiers had departed for their, barracks, the band of the Twenty first regiment gave a concert. The pres ident and Mrs. Mckinley went for a drive of twenty-five miles this afternoon around the beautiful promitory called Cumberland head, which juts out into Lake Champlain for three miles and a magnificent view of the lake and noun tains was enjoyed by the president and Mrs, McKipley as 4they rolled around it's broad. confines. Vice President Ho- bart and party made the same trip in the hotel brake.
 President Hobart had long talk with the president today.

Leopold Would Be Accountable

Washington, Aug. 5.-No official notice has been received here of the selection of the king of the Belgians as arbitrator of the dispute be- tween Japan and Hawaii, but generally the selection is highly commended. The officials say that King Leopolds repu- tation for justice and fairness is so we'll established that there can be no possi- ble objection to the exercise by him of the powers or arbitrator provided a choice is to be made from among Euro pean rulers. It is not believed our own government will be called-to advise as to the selection and it is highly improba- ble that it will interfere in the matter so long as the wishes of Hawaii are met.
