CONSTELLATION OF ARIES.
The Ram With the Golden Fleece o.
Araonautic Fame.

The Ram With the Golden Fleece OF
Argonautic Fame.
Early on the 21st Of March the
sun enters the sign of Aries, and
astronomical spring begins. Two or
three thousand years ago, when the
heavenly groups were originally
fashioned, Aries marked the vernai
equinox, the passage of the sun
through which betokens the opening
of spring. Owing, however, to the
slow westward movement OF the
equinoctial points Aries in reality
has no longer the honor once ac-
corded it, but has drifted to the east
ward
The constellation of Aries repre-
sents in mythology the ram with the
golden fleece Of argonautic fame,
and a short sketch of its history
may be of interest. Athanius, a
legendary king of Thessaly, had two
children, Phrixus and Helle, and he
also had two wives, having repudi-
ated the first and taken second.
The stepmother was not at all good
to the children and treated them so
badly that she aroused sympathy in
their behalf. Among those inter-
ested in the youngsters was Mer-
curry, who sent a ram, which took
them on it's back, sprang into the
air and hustled them off to the east
ward.
In those days Europe and Asia
were separated by strait, as we find
in measure to be the case today,
and the girl Helle became frighten-
ed or perhaps dizzy from seasickness
in crossing the water at this very
rough time in her experience, lost
her hold and fell into the straits
which to this day are known as the
Hellespont. The boy had better
hold and kept on until he reached
the far end of the Black sea. Phrix-
us showed spirit of sacrifice, not
of self, however, by killing the ram
and presenting its golden fleece to
the king of the country, who caused
it to be hung in the sacred grove OF
the Aries under the guard of sleep
less dragon. The star marking the
forehead was called by the Arabs
Hamal, which means sheep. In very
early times it is said that the Greeks
considered this star as the sunrise
herald of the vernal equinox New
York Times.

Coincidence.

One of the hardest things in the
world is to condole with anybody in
a misfortune or a bereavement.
If it were not that the matter is
generally serious a great many fun
ny stories could be printed about the
condolences people offer to the be-
reaved. But at Manchester some
time ago hardworking Irishman
fell out of a fourth story window
and broke his neck.
His wife was of course in great
distress.
After the funeral a neighbor call
ed to offer her sympathy and con-
dolence.
EIt was very sad thing indeed"
Indeed it was. To die like that

The Use of Metaphor.

A speaker who attempts to use
nautical metaphors should be thor
oughly familiar with the sea and
the working Of ship or he will
strand his speech. A clergyman was
supplying a pulpit by the seaside.
Thinking to impress the truth more
distinctly upon the congregation,
many of whom were seamen, he
drew the figure of ship trying to
enter harbor against q head wind.
Unfortunately for the success OF
his metaphor, he knew little Of sea-
manship. After putting the ship
into several singular positions he
cried out in voice intended to be
emphatic:

John L. Blair stated that the ranks

From these figures it appears that

greater human harvest now than
he did during the bloody years of
the war. According to a list of
losses of the Union army, published
some years ago by the Army
and Navy Journal and compiled
from Phisterer's Statistical Record
the losses during four years were

cuse the state land commissioner
has for ignoring all these oppor-
tunities to invest school funds in
safe securities and at the same
time foster the cause Of education
throughout the state. If it were
not for the commissions bid for
the questionable Port Townsend
water bonds at a much lower rate
of interest than school districts
would willingly pay, it might be
suspected that the commission is
averse to disturbing the great graft
