Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifies the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..
Green's reliable remedies at D. A.

Draft DOGS.

In Holland and Belgium the dog
occupies the place which the donkey
does in several other countries. In
the former, the sight of couple OF
dogs dragging along a pushcart
loaded with vegetables, flowers or
shining milk cans is familiar one.
They trot along underneath the
cart, within easy reach of the blunt
toe of the sabot of the woman, who
walks behind it to guide it by the
handles attached at that point. In
Belgium the dogs are hitched il
front, as the Russians attach their
horses to their droskies, three
abreast, and are guided by a pair OF
rope reins fastened to a muzzle
about the nose of the dog in the
middle.

Some Japanese Customs.

Widows in Japan cut their hair
short and comb it back plainly
without a parting unless, indeed
they are prepared to accept fresh
offers, in which case they give a
broad hint of their inclinations by
twisting their hair round a long
shell hairpin placed horizontally
across the back of the head. Mar
riageable nsidens distinguish and,
as it were, advertise themselves by
combing their locks high in front
and arranging them in the form OF
a butterfly, which is something to
be caught, or a fan half open, and
adjoining these significant designs
with bright colored balls and gold
or silver cord. Speaking generally,
the dressing of the hair, which is
changed at intervals from childhood
upward, is an indication Of the age
and position of the simple minded
and fascinating female Jap.

STAR DISTANCES.
The Method by Which These Are Meas
ured by Astronomers.


What is the length Of this room:
ANY one can make this simple meas.
urement with two foot rule. How
far is it from this house to the enc
of the street? This question also
can be answered easily with a SIT,
vevor's tape measure. But how
many people ever think of the pos
ribility of measuring the distance
of an inaccessible object? To dis
cover how IL away thu SO
we cannot reach it in order 20 meas
ure the distance-this is a problem
of very different kind. Md when
the distant goal of measurement Is
one of those luminous s,ars from
which we are sundered b. ...e pro-
found depths Of space, when that
object is not only s2Trcmcly mae.
cessible. but also remote to degree
as nearly infinite as tie human mind
can grasp-in such case the prob
lem of distance is not merely ole
of attractive difficulty; it is one that
stirs the Imagination strongly.
Bessel was the tirst to solve this
observational problem. His method
was simple enough. We have seen
that the actual quantity of parallac-
tic change in stars position dl-
minishes with the stars distance.
Consequently we have but to meas
ure the amount of this change IN
order to have at once an estimate
of the stars distance.
SO Bessel selected his star on &C
count of its large motion, as indl-
Gated by the older star catalogues.
His method of observation, like
every method destined for conspic-
uous success, was perfectly simple.
Two small auxiliary stars were Sc
lected near the one under observa-
ton for parallax. Every observing
night Bessel measured the exact dis
lance on the face of the sky between
each small star and the parallax
star. He judged quite correctly
that these two insignificant objects
must really be almost infinitely far
from us. If such was the case, they
must be perfectly free from any APP
preciable parallactic shift, even ac-
cording to the Copernican theory.
If, on the other hand, the suspected
star really is near us, it must suffer
parallactic changes, and these must
make it appear to swing back and
forth during the year between the
two auxiliary stars.
Bessel did not depend upon the
ordinary astronomical telescope. He
was provided with a more accurate
measuring contrivance than had
ever been used before his time. THIS
instrument, called heliometer, is
especially adapted for the most pre-
else determination of short dis
tances on the sky-such distances
as those separating his parallax star
from the two auxiliary ones. With
it he was able to determine exactly
the parallactic changes in his stars
position and he proved that these
changes satisfied perfectly the
mathematical conditions that gov
ern motions of this kind.-Profess-
or Harold Jacoby in Harper's
Weekly.
