Advance of Rural knowledge.
From the Amherst Record.

FROM the Amherst Record
1t is not alone on the city pavement or
in the shadow of the huge sky-scrapers
that the gold brick industry fourishes and
the willy promoter takes his commission
from the credulity of the public. The rural
inhabitant yearning for excitement and ex-
bUnco artist, but now has the goods de-
livered at his own door. A majority of our
readers are familiar with the nature and
purposes of what is technically known as a
merger" There are many kinds of mer-
ger. The milkman who owns a herd of
cows and a pump in good disable condition
can easily effect a merger. Would-be
business man with an abundance of money
and 10 experience and a practical business
man with abundant experience and no
money can form merger. A man with a
hole in the ground, a man with plan for
printing mining stock certificates, man
who knows how to promote and man who
has money in the bank may get together in
a merger The merger of the lion and the
lamb is as old as history. There is some
man on the inside. There must be at least
two parties to a merger; there may be sew
eral. Sometimes both are equally benefited
as a general thing the weaker is benefited
at the expense of the stronger. The mixing
of milk and water benefits the water more
than it does the milk. When men who own
sawdust and men who own grain merge
their holdings in order to manufacture
breakfast food the saWdust owners are
willing to accept a smaller allotment of
stock than the grain owners. These state
mentS may seem aimlesS and desultory; but

It will pass very near this star. In the

Like Our Sun.
The constitution and temperature of this
star are very like those of our own sun.
1t is enormously fur away that a ray Of
light, though It moves more than 10000
miles In u single second, requires more
than three hundred years to make the
journey from the star 10 US: the light with
which we now view this body therefore
must have left the star more than three
hundred years ago. Arcturus is approach
ing US al the rale of four miles in each
second.
cate little group OF faint stars which form
one of the most beautiful figures of the
entire sky. This Is Corona Borealis, the
Northern Crown, a group of about dozen
naked eye stars arranged in the form OF
an almost perfect oval. The constellation
has been known ever since the fifth CEN
fury B. c. as the crown of Ariadne. 1t
will be remembered how Ariadne, the Gre
tan Princess, assisted by the Greek here,
Theseus, to slay the Minoteur, giving him
a clew of thread by means of which he
found his way out OF the ladysmlth In
which the great beast lived. When Ari
adne became the wife of Theseus, this
golden diadem was the crown which he
gave her 1t is a pity that the ancient
name of Ariadne's Crown. which recalls
so pretty a legend, should have been
changed in later days.
Like the Pleiades, this constellation was
used to mark the seasons. Thus VergiI
wrote:
But if thou pillow to SOW more solid grain,
A wheat or barley harvest to obtain,
First let the morning Pleiades be set
And Ariadne's shining coronet,
Ere thou commit thy seed to ground"
Unlike Arcturus, the stars of the crown
were supposed to have a most favorable
influence astrologically.

Ladies at Smoking Concerts.

From the London Telegraph.
The Birmingham magistrates have revised
the decision of some of their colleagues
who refused a license for ladies night
at a smoking concert in connection with the
Birmingham Musical Society, one of the
oldest institutions in the city.
One of the magistrates is reported to have
stated that he would not take a lady to such
function. He could not understand ladies
figuring in a room where drinking and
smoking were being carried on by lot of
fellows. He did not object to politics and
other things being regulated at smoking
concerts, but" said Mr.. Brame, II do OBJ
ject to our women, our wives and daughters
going to these gatherings; and so long as l
have personal authority l will give my sup
port to the suppression of that sort of
thing. There is no prudishnesS or false
sentiment in my views l have too much
respect for the women of England to give
helping hand toward their degra dation"
Councillor Brooks, president of the soci-
ETY., in renewing the application yesterday,
said the members resented what they con-
sidered an unjust imputation. The justices,
he said, appeared to think the chief object
of the license for the ladies night was
to permit a kind of orgie and the con-
sumption of intOXicants and tobacco.

Found in Lemon" Pies.
ON the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Three lemon pies bought from the
shelves of downtown restaurants We're ana
lived in the Office OF the state food inspec-
tor, and this is the composition OF the hlling
of one of them, as announced by the
chemist:
Starch. in thick. firm paste, favored
slightly and very little acid; Il per cent
sugar. Aniline colOring (methyl-orange
group. The color is made alphabetically
from aniline and aniline from coal.
Method-di-methyl-an on diazo-ben-
zine sulphonic acid. Methyl orange Is
poisonous in large doses. Found to con-
tain very little favoring and acid from
lemon. Filling OF starch paste, sugar and
colored deep yellow.
In plain English, # was explained by the
chemist that aniIine is used instead OF eggs.
The butter was neglected altogether and
the lemon juice was sighted.
Another lemon pie was beginning to de-
compose when II was delivered to the
laboratory. There was dough at the bot
tom. The third lemon pie examined was
said to be tolerably good. The much-abused
mince pie escaped with good reputation.
but one of the two pumpkin pies examined
was said to be old.

Railroads in France.

From Golfers Weekly.
In France the railways are mostly owned
by companies. Yet not only are the
charges for carrying freight stipulated by
the government, but the government con-
troll is far more exacting than anything we
have proposed. The public is satisfied, and
the railroads do not think of complaining any
more than express companies in the United
States think of complaining because they
do not have charge of the postal business.
Continental countries hold that under
modern conditions the railroad is in the
same relation to the public a highway
was a century ago. The idea that the
macadamized roads of France should be
entirely in the control of private companies
would be a little more ridiculous to a
Frenchman than that the railroads should
be their own Judge of rates.

Meanwhile, as some compensation for the
loss of these two beautiful worlds, new
object is beginning to climb up in the sky

visible to the naked eye for only eight
days, fading rapidly away to the tenth
magnitude, and then slowly growing
brighter again. 1t has remained visible in
the telescope ever since as a yellow, ninth

This was the first new star ever studied
