MOUNTAINS On N
German Scientist Announces an Important
Astronomieal Discovery.


Astronomical Discovery.
We seem to be getting or familiar
terms with neighboring worlds.
With Mars and its intricate systemO Of
canals, if not it's actual inhabitants,
thanks to the delicate investigations
Of late years, everybody is pretty well
acquainted. Now Herr Arendt,
who is a German, and therefore, says
the London Globe, not a trifer, an
nounces the discovery of mountains
on Venus, To observers hitherto the
planet has seemed wrapped in an inn
penetrable envelope Of cloud, which,
when near the earth, is the cause Of
its astonishing brilliancy; but Herr
Arendt, who has had the instru-
ments of the Urania observatory at
Berlin to work with considers that
he has detected markings in Venus
which indicate the presence OF great
elevations seen from time to time
through the clouds surrounding it.
Novel as the suggestion is, it is but
a revival Of an old idea. Long ago
Schroter fancied he saw evidences of
mountains on Venus in the ragged
ness of the terminator-that is, the
line where light and shade meet, such
as the inner line of the crescent moon.
He went so far as to measure them,
and announced that they were rs
miles high. But then no one had be-
lieyed him. Markings have been no
ticed on the bright planet from very
early times, from which it was con-
eluded that it rotated in about "A
hours, its day being the same length
as our own. Herr Arendt's observa-
tons point to the same results, in d.
rect contradiction to Schiaperilli's
famous theory that Venus, held by
tidal influence, always turns the same
face to the sun as the moon does to
the earth.

THE A COLLECTOR.
Hobby If IntslligsntIy Pursued Leads. In
to wide Domain Of Knowledge.

The question as to what knowledge
a stamp collector should possess is
answered by a foreign philatelic
journal, which prints list Of the sub
iects on which a philatelist should be
at home. Here is the list. The en-
gravers' and photographers arts; the
methods Of paper manufacture; the
composition and mode Of preparation
Of some Of the more important inks
and pigments used for stamps; q
slight knowledge Of heraldry; the
methods Of reproducing millions Of
stamps from the original die; the ma
ture Of gums and 1cements;v inyen-
lions such as the perforating ma
chine; the history Of countries, their
chances Of rule and ruler and Of cur
rency; the why" and the where
fore" Of each issue; the art Of a coun-
try, or lack Of arr, as The case may be;
the celebrities who figure on stamps
who they are and why their por-
traits appear; the coinages Of the.
world; the alphabets in use in vari-
GUS countries; some small knowledge
Of languages; the amalgamation or
federation Of states; the splitting up
Of empires; and countless other sub
jects. In addition to knowing all
this, the collector receives a training
to the eye and the touch which in an
scientific vocatious is invaluable; and
last, but not least, he makes lifelong
friendships with other collectors

Unless the coat is made with fly front
the notched piece along the front OF the
outside of the jacket is simply turned

neatly. and the facing which forms tue

times around to give them solidity, and
they do not require any stiffening be-

The pattern has eleven pieces-viz,
two fronts, one back, two racing ana

When the paper pattern is drafted,
try it to the figure, and If it is right cut
it along the chalk marks, being very
careful that the nap runs down. The

New Summer Materials.
The new foulards are now on view.
The colors are rather pale and have
silvery look, due to the texture of the
silk Wood tones, pinkish heliotropes,
china blues and delicate green's lead.
The patterns are almost all OF them
large, but, fortunately for the small
person, they are rather blurred In and
indistinct. Dots are again the style
both big and little. A new pattern con-
ssts in using pin dots for a back

design is run.
Beige tones are to be most popular
for dressy wear, both in foulards and
in veilings, made over glace silk. THESE

This coat can be buttoned in single
breasted style or it can be made with
a fly front. For the amateur dress
maker it would probably be easier
to have buttons, as 1t requires great
nicely to make the fly look just as it
should. Pocket lids are set on for APP
Pearance only.
To cut this garment when no pattern
is available, take a measure with a
tapeline and pencil and mark out
the dimensions on a piece Of rather
stiff wrapping paper, beginning with
the front. This is to be along the
straight edge Of the paper. The meas

The Hardy Banana.
London Tegleraph,


Not 20 many years ago the banana
was a curious fruit, reserved for the
table OF the epicure; to-day it is the
hardy perennial of the costermonger's
barrow. But few whose chief delicacy
it is have probably ever thought that
it could have much influence On ma
tional character. However, according
ty Sir H. Johnston, the idleness and
vacuity Of the lives of the natives who
inhabit the fertile districts of the
Uganda protectorate are directly en-
couraged by the banana, which requires
scarcely any labor for its maintenance
~ . standing eource of food supply.
It propagates itself by throwing up
shoot after shoot from the under
ground rhizome, which, as it we're,
grows horizontally, as do many Of the
allied plants of the same order, and
most orchids. From one of these
rhizomes you may break off an in
cipient shoot and replant it. This
shoot rapidly developes into a fine,
tall tree, and bears one or more
punches of fruit.
While this tree is fourishing above
ground it is expanding horizontally be.
low ground and forming a succession
of fresh shoots. Each shoot grows up
in turn, produces fruit, and eventually
dies. Left TO themselves, however,
bananas seem to 60 on growing, shoot.
ing, dying and sprouting up again
eternally. Beyond the original labor
OF stocking few banana plantations
with fresh shoots the native has little
further to do but to gather the fruit
as it ripens.

The popular vote for Bryan in 1896
was larger than that for Cleveland in
1892 by 946,OO7. His proportion of
the total vote was 46.7 per cent,
whereas Cleveland's, in 1892, was only
46 03-Bryan's being larger by two
thirds of one per cent. In harmony
with this result was the change in the
Democratic representation in Congress.
From total Of only SO elected in the
last Cleveland year (1S94) the Demo.

some of the representation which dur
ing his administration they absolutely
lost. The number of Democrats in
the California delegation was increased
from one in 1894 to two in 1896,
though both were lost in 1900; that OF
the Illinois delegation from none in
1894 to five in 1896. and eleven in
1900; that Of the Indiana delegation
from none in 1894 to four in 1896, and
the gain held in 1900; that of Kansas

that of Massachusetts, from one in
1894 to two in 1896 and three in 1900 /;
that OF Michigan from none in 1894 to
one in 1896. which, however, was lost
in 1900; that of New York from five
in 1894. to six in 1896 and twelve in
1900; that of Ohio from two in 1894
to six in 1896. but reduced to four in
1900; that of Nebraska from none in
1894 to two in 1900; and that of New
Jersey from none in 1894 and 1896 to
two in 1900; while the Democratic

eight in 1896, remaining at eight in
1870, and that from Missouri from
four in 1894 to twelve in 1896 and thir-

bills, and it did no good. When he
would take a spell Of indigestion he
would lie for ten and fifteen days. and
it seemed as though he would die. He
hal these spells every two or three
weeks. He could not eat anything only
a little milk and cracker, and sometimes
even this would make him sick. He
could not eat any meat or vegetables
and he got very weak could not sit up
all day, and I gave up all hope of his
ever getting any better. Three years

looking it over one day l noticed DR..

in the line OF immoral suasion cannot be
surpassed.
It is reflection on mans reason that
he often refuses to do what common
sense dictates. until he is forced to do
it. Common sense tells a man that he
cannot live irregularly and keep his
health He Is warned and admonished
time and again that hasty eating and
irregular meas result in diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition. But because Nature does
not directly threaten his life as the pistol
does he goe: right along until he Is
obliged to reform because disease forces
him to do so.
UNHEEDED WARNINGS.
II is only when all her warnings have
been unheeded that Nature no longer
says wYou should not" but "You shall.
not" This is practically what happens
when the lover of high living has to give
up dainty dishes, sweets and condiments
and come down to a diet of oatmeal or
tea and toast.
There are thousands of dyspeptics
whose condition shuts them out from all
the pleasures of the table. There are
thousands of others who are on the high
road to a like condition, unheeding the
warnings of the protesting stomach.
The great fact is that every man and
woman who suffers from dyspepsia can
be almost certainly cured by the use Of
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t always helps. 1t almost always cures.
Only two people in every hundred who
give cColden Medical Discovery a fair
and faithful trial fail of perfect and
permanent cure.

you for some time" writes Mrs. w. D.
Benson, of Maxton, Robson Co., N. c..
ITO let you know what a wonderful
thing DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery did for my little boy. He was
taken with indigestion when he was a
