run into confusion. In short, but for
this noble science we could not exist
as civilized people.
Looking overhead about s o'clock
during the evenings of this month,
we see the heavens have put on a
somewhat different appearance since
last month. Orion, which was almost
directly overhead, has now passed
the meridian, and is slowly approach
ing the western horizon. To the
northwest of Orion we see Taurus,
containing those two remarkable clus-
tiers of stars known as the Hyades and
Pleiades, SO often mentioned by the
ancients.
The Pleiades are also called the
virgins OF SPRING" because the sun
enters this group about the 18th of
May. The Eternal One who made
them makes allusion to this circum-
stance when He askes of job: "Canst
thou bind the sweet influence of the
Pleiades?" etc. Before the time of
place, and the year opened when the
sun was in Taurus; and the Bull was
the leader and prince of the celestial
host for 1000 years. The Ram next
enjoyed this honor, and now the
Fishes lead the year..
Close to the western horizon we see
Aries the Ram, which may be read
lily known by means of two bright
stars in the head about degrees
apart; the most northeasterly of the
two being the brightest. Hipparchus
informs us that twenty-five centuries
ago Aries occupied the first sign in
the ecliptic. But in consequence Of
the procession of the equinoxes Aries
is now the second constellation in the
Zodiac. Almost half way between
Aries and the North Star, and little
towards the east, we see constella-
ton which cannot fail to attract the
observers attention. This Is Perseus,
containing the bright and variable
star Algol, which can be easily dis
tinguished by means of three stars of
the fourth magnitude, lying a few de-
grees southwest of it and forming a
small triangle. AS Algol continues

UNDER MANY ALIASES.
An Old Enemy in New DISCUS

An OLD Enemy In New Disguise.
1t is the popular belief that what is
popularity known as catarrh is simply
chronic cold III the head. This is
true as far as it goes, but as a matter
of fact catarrh is by no means confined
to the nasal passages, but extends
wherever the mucuous membrane ex-
tends, which means nearly every part
of the body.
The mucous membrane is the inside
skin of the body and is nearly as ex-
tensive as the outside skin, and any
inflammation of this membrane caus-
ing an extra secretion of fluid is really
catarrh.
Catarrh is, therefore, an old enemy
disguised by many confusing names,
for instance: Rhinitis is nasal catarrh;
laryngitis and pharyngitis, throat
catarrh; bronchitis, bronchial catarrh;
gastritis, stomach catarrh; cystitus and
nephritis, catarrh of the bladder and
kidneys.
Therefore, although the location of
the trouble gives it various names, in
reality the sum total is catarrh and
nothing else.
Do not make the mistake of think
ing you have no catarrh because the
head and nose appear to be clear. If
there is cough, tickling in the throat,
and hoarsenessyou have throat catarrh;
if there is no appetite, but nausea, gag
ging and disgust for food, especially
in the morning, you have catarrh Of
the stomach.
The surest treatment for every form
of catarrh is an internal remedy which
acts especially on the blood and mu-
cous membranes; such remedy is the
new preparation sold everywhere by
druggists under name of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets, a medicine in pleasant
tablet form and containing all the best
and latest specifics for catarrh.

The moons phases during the
month of March are as follows: New
on the LIST. first quarter on the Sth.
full on the 10th, last quarter on the
24th and new on the 30th.
OF all the heavenly bodies, the
moon next to the sun, is the most
important. The moon is not a very
large body, her mass being only about
, one-eightleth that of the earth; but
owing to her proximity, sne exerts
considerable influence upon the earth.
This influence maninfests itself in
particular by the important phenom-
enon of the tides. The power OF the
moon to raise a tide is to that of the
sun five as two. If the moon and sun
are in a straight line with the earth,
or, to use the language of science,
when they are IN conjunction and op-
position, the tides are equal to the sum
OF the lunar and solar tides. These
are known as the spring tides When
the moon is at the times of the first
and last quarter each of these two at
fractions raises tide at the expense
OF the other, and these are known as
the neap tides.
On the 1st the moon was in perigee.
on the 14th she will be apogee and
again in perigee on the 10Th. 1t may
not be amiss to remark here as to
what is meant by perigee and apogee.
That point in the moons orbit near
est to the earth is called her perigee,
and that point farthest from the earth
is called her apogee.
The planet Venus, which is still an
evening star, is day by day, increas-
ing in brilliancy. This beautiful
planet, which shines with a light so
splendid that none can mistake her,
can be seen before the twilight has
ceased to be visible. And she will
set about $3.50 o'clock in the evening.
Venus never shines in the western
horizon more than three hours before
sunset, nor appears in the eastern hor-
lion more than three hours before sun
rise. Consequently, any star or plan
ct, no matter how brilliant, which sets
later or rises earlier cannot be Venus.
The royal Jupiter, king Of the plan
etary host is now our morning star,
| rising about midnight. He is still in
close proximity to the bright-red star,
Autares, in the Scorpion.
Mars is still too close to the sun to
be visible to earthly gazers, while the
hinged planet, Saturn, which, during
| last month. rose about O'Clock in
the morning, has still further in
! creased his distance from the sun. and
may now be seen rising about 2
o'clock. He is now situated in the
constellation Sagittarius, far down in
the southern heavens, and is not in
the vicinity of any prominent star.
There will be an occultation Of Saturn
by the moon on the oath. This in
teresting event begins at 1889 a. m.
just as the moon and planet rise. and
ends about 2:43 a. NJ, at which time
the planet suddenly emerges from the
moons western limb.

A New Cure For Cntarrh In Tablet
Form.

A New Cure For Cntarrh In Tablet
Form.
The old time treatment OF catarrh
was in the form of douches or sprays;
later on, internal remedies were given
with greater success, but being in liq-
uid or powdered form were inconven-
lent and were open to the same OBJ
lection to all liquid remedies, that is,
that they lose whatever medical power
they have had on exposure to the air.
The. tablet is ideal form in which
to administer medication, but until re-
Gently no successful catarrh tablet had
ever been attempted.
At this writing, however, most ex-
cellent and palatable remedy for ca
tarrh has been placed before the pub
lie and sold by. druggists. called Stu
arts Catarrh Tablet, composed of the
most recent discoveries in medicine
for the cure of catarrh, and results
from their use have been highly graf
flying.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
principally highly concentrated anti
septics, which kill the catarrh germs
in the blood and mucous membranes,
and in this respect are strictly scien-
tific and modern, as it has been known
for some years past by the ablest ply
sicians thst the most successful ca
tarrh treatment was by inhaling or
spraying antiseptics.
The use of inhalers, douches and
sprays, however, is a nuisance and in
convenient, and moreover can in no
wise compare with the same remedies
given in tablet form, either in efficacy
or convenience.

office in Pittsburg relates his expert

Simple Remedy Which Will Inter-

A Simple Remedy Which Will Inter-
est Catarrh Sufferers.
In its early stages catarrh is more Of
a nuisance than a menace to the gen.
eral health, but sooner or later the dis
ease extends to the throat, bronchial
tubes and even to the stomach and in
testines.
Catarrh is essentially disease of the
mucous membrane, the local symp-
toms being profuse discharge of mu-
cous, stoppage Of the nostrils, irrita-
ton in throat, causing coughing, sneez-
ing, gagging and frequent clearings of
the throat and head.
The usual treatment by local
douches, snuffs, salves, ETC., often gives
temporary relief, but anything like a
cure can only be obtained by treat
ment which removes the catarrhal faint
from the blood and the disappearance
of the Inflammation from the mucous
surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing ca
tarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood md
mucous membranes only. They can
hardly be called a secret patent medi-
cine, as they are composed of such val
liable remedies as Sanguinaria, Hy-
drastin, Eucalyptol and similar cleans
ing antisepties, which cure by elimi-
mating from the blood and mucous sur
faces the catarrhal poison.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges taken inter-
nally, allowing them to dissolve slowly
in the mouth; in this way they reach
the throat, fauces and the entire ali
mentary canal.
If desired, they may also be dissolv-
ed in water and used as a douche, in
addition to the internal use. but it is
not at all necessary to use a douche;
a few of them dissolved in the mouth
daily will be sufficient. However, when
there IS much stoppage of the nose,
douche made from these tablets will
give immediate relief, but the regular
daily use internally of these tablets
will cure the whole catarrhal trouble
without resorting to the inconvenience

DR.. Bennett states that the internal
treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking
the place of the old plan of douching,
