The Star Mira

For the greatest part of the time the
variable Mira. which has been known
10 astronomers for 800 years. is alto
sether unnoticeable and indeed invis-
ible, except with telescopes. 1t once
disappeared entirely for a period of
four years, but afterward attained ex-
traordinary splendor, only to fade
again to invisibility. 1t is a sun of
great size, brighter than our sun when
it shines at its brightest. but some
trouble. some solar disease, seems to
be Sappilg its vitality, and it resent
bles a patient almost at the last gasp.
Once in about 331 days-hut the pc
Rod is irregular-it has sudden ac-
ceSSiOn OF energy and flares up Tor a
little while with several hundredfold
brilliancy only to sink back into a
dull red point that nearly escapes the
ken of the telescope. One interesting
explanation that has been suggested
is that the surface of Mira periodical
" bursts into Il vast flame of burning
hydrogen. so great and powerful that
ii is visible across millions of millions
of miles of space. 1t is Il star for the
imagination of Dante, yet there is
reason to believe that the time is
coming when every star in the sky
not excepting the sun. will have to
confront Il similar struggle for exist
ence. just as every mortal being must
some time see death.-Garrett P Ser

CARE FOR EX-PRESIDENTS, IS
PLEA OF GROVER CLEVELAND
Men Who Have Filled Highest
Post in Nation

Referring to the poverty of Jefferson
when he left the presidency as a blow
to national pride. Grover Cleveland.

Presidents" argues that definite and
the maintenance of chief magistrates
at the expiration of their terms He
deals with the subject at length and
explains that he feels he can do so
without his sincerity being questioned.
sircn he is beyond the need of aid
-Ium the public treasury.
The condition is by no means met"
Mr. Cleveland writes, by the meager
and spasmodic relief occasionally fur
nished under the guise of a military
pension or some other preteXt, nor
would it be best met by making COM
pensation dependent upon the discharge
of senatorial or other official duty. Our
people ought TO make definite and dec
or0us provisions for all cases alike,
based on motives of justice and fair
ness, and adequate TO the situation"
Mr. Cleveland describes the limita-
tiOns that his former high office place
on retired President in his choice of
occupations and means of livelihood,
and how popular conception of him as
repository of national dignity enforces
q scale of living that may not be within
his uliyata means
There is a sort of vague. but none
the less imperative. feeling abroad in
the land that one who has occupied the
great Office of President holds in trust
for his fellow citizens a certain dig
nifty which, in his conduct and manner
of life. he is bound to protect against
loss or deterioration. Obedience TO this
obligation prescrbes for him only such
work as in popular Judgment is not
undignifed. This suggests without ar
gun.ent reciprocal connection be-
tween the curtailment of opportunities
and reasonable obligation of indem-
nification.'
One division of the Cleveland article
is devoted to the Occupations of an
ex-President,' and in it the former
President reveals the multiplicity of
things which persons endeavor to bring
to the attention of the retired states

TO engage in.

INDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work CON-
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman'S ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their pc
culiar ills, moro potent and effiea-
cious than any combination of drugs.
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of SIS NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete RESTORATION 10 nea1tn
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women | am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years / had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time l had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what l suffered, and at times /
could hardly walk. About two years
400 I wrote Mrs Pinkham for advice
/ followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
twill do for other suffering women.

SECOND TRIAL OF
HARRY K. THAW IS ON
Young Millionaire Who Shot STAN
ford White Again Faces the
Charge of Murder.
SCENE IN NEW YORK COURT.
Evelyn VIII Repeat Her Story, but
"Unwritten Law" Will Not Be
Relied On.

The second trial of Harry Kendall
Thaw, the young Pittsburg swell and
spendthrift. for the murder of STAN
ford White. the New York architect
and man about town. is again under
way. 1t was tedious work securing a
jury. The first trial was reported so
completely and was so widely read in
all its sensational and nauseating de-
tails that an attempt to secure twelve
men who had not read of the case and
formed more or less of an opinion was
hopeless. The most acceptable jurors
then. were those who could swear that
despite reading an opinion they could
judge Thaw's guilt or innocence purely
on the evidence submitted to them.
As TO the actual commission of the
deed. of course, there is no question.
The defense is not to combat that pal
pable fact Neither is it relying. as
Delmas did in the first trial on the
unwritten law" Martin w Littleton
Delmas' successor as chief counsel. de-
ponds entirely on the plea that Thaw
was insane and irresponsible at the
time of the shooting.
The prosecution is devoting itself to
proving the commission of the crime
and to controverting the evidence for
the defense. Littleton will put Evelyn
Thaw upon the stand and she will tell
her story all over again. This is neces-
sary in order to demonstrate that there
was reason for Thaw's, attack of brain
storm or insanity. but the young wife
will not be handled as tenderly by the
prosecution in cross-questioning as she
was before Jerome has had one OF
his assistants follow out the European
tour, mile by mile. which Thaw and the
girl took before marriage and will be
able to catch up the witness at every
misstatement as to that trip.
Evelyn has so far been in daily at
tendance on the trial and is putting up
the same bluff of appearing in the sim
pie garb of an ingenious school girl.
