Practical Astronomy.

We do not need to be astronomers,
to know that certain stars, are to be
found in certain parts of the heavens,
at certain times, and at no other
times. Astronomy seems to be an
exact science, at least SO far as its
conclusions are capable of mathemati
cal demonstration. Its students tell
us that our earth is one of a number
of planets revolving around centre,
and that this system is but one OF
similar systems, and that they all re-
volve around a centre common to all.
Astronomers have been searching for
tbs central point or power and have
thought, from time to time, that they
have found it in this or that planet,
the star Sirius being one OF the last
ones named, but we believe that this
particular one, has also been abandon
ed. But if the fact of this central
point or power remains are we not
Justlhable in assigning to it certain
qualities or attributes =? Would i
not have to he self existent, all power
tul, to move and keep in motion these
vast systems all wise to guide then
IN their course j? If this is so, do W.
not arrive at an absolute, Supreme
Being which the Christian will cal
God ?

very soon after their arrival and that
when the dog came none was left.
The dealer gave the dog a copy of
the Bosphore Egyptien, a French
paper, instead, but he absolutely re-
fused to receive it. Therefore the
dealer gave him back the coin and
sent him home.
1t is not to be supposed that the
dog could distinguish by sight between
French paper and an English paper,
or indeed between any two newspa-
pers of similar general appearance,
but he had a method Of his own OF
distinguishing them-by means Of the
sense OF smell.

An Intelligent Dog.

More than one story has been told
OF the refusal on the part Of dog who
had been entrusted with carrying a
paper to his master to take the wrong
one when offered to him. Such rela-
tions have generally been received
with degree of incredibly. How
ever, an English paper published in
Egypt, the Egyptian Gazette, tells a
story of the kind with a circumstatlal-
ity which appears to entitle it to
Credence.
The paper says that one Of its pa
irons in Cairo regularly sent his dog,
large and very intelligent Russian
hound, 10 get the Gazette on its ar
rival from Alexandria. The anima
always carried coin IN his mouth
with which to pay for the paper.
One day the dog came back with
out the paper and with the coin still
IN his mouth. This was good proc
that the papers had not been obtained
and lost. The gentleman went to thu
newsdealer's to see what had been th'
matter.
He found that the copies of th'
Egyptian Gazette had all been sol'

TRACKING A CHILD.
Showing That Bloodhound is not Always
a Fierce Beast.

So many terrible stories of the fero.
city of bloodhounds have been told |
that it is refreshing to read a true
story of a chase by a bloodhound IN
which the hunter and the hunted
we're equally satisfied. 1t is vouched
for BY a writer in Cood Words, who
had it from an eyewitness.
The bloodhound was enjoying a
stroll with his master on the sands of
Weston-super- Mare, quietly following
the horse his owner rode. Neither was
thinking of chase. In fact nothing
seemed further from the character Of
the dog than a desire to interfere with
any human being. The group of pleas
ure seekers scattered over the sands
saw nothing unusual in him, nor did
,he poor distracted woman who ran
from one group to another frantically
asking for tidings of lost child. No
body knew anything of the missing
boy, and when in her desperation she
approached the gentleman on the
horse he also shook his head.
But though he knew nothing of her
boy, he was not SO sure that he could
not help her find him. He alighted
from his horse, and thrusting his arm
through the bride bent over the
hound, putting both hands carelessly
round his head. Then he took from
the woman something that looked
like child's hat and held it toward

The hound shifted and whined mourn.

ter Soon however. he lifted his head
in the air, uttered short, sharp bark
or bay and began shifting about the
sands.
For minute or two he followed
the scent in zigzag fashion, and then
with a long, loud bay, turned off a
an amazing pace, ran in straight lint
across the sands, crossed the parade
and, baying as he went, turned dow
a side street.
That was an exciting chase-th
