The Study Of tho Consultations as q
Pastime.
Probably every reader has often ad-
mired the beauty Of a starlight night.
A little careful observation on such a
night will show that the brighter stars
may be divided into groups or "constel-
lations," as the astronomers call them,
most Of which are known by the
names Of animals or legendary per-
sons. such for example as the Great
Bear" 1.-The Swan" Hercules" An
dromeda," etc. The easiest method Of
learning these consultations" is from
some one already acquainted with
them. but If the beginner Is not fortu-
nate enough to know any such person
the majority a be learned from any
cheap star maps such as are sometimes
contained in almanacs.
Now, II the budding astronomer will
notice the position of any Of these
groups or consultations at a particu-
lar hour Of any night and then look a
few hours afterward he will see that
during the interval the stars which ap-
peared low down In the east have risen
to the south in a somewhat similar
manner to the apparent motion Of the
sun and moon. while closer attention
on several evenings will show a circu-
lar or rotary movement around the
north pole Of the heavens. the motion
being the opposite way to the hands Of
q clock.
Near the north pole is a bright star
called the Pole star" This star is
easily found when the observer has
Dce noted the seven bright stars Of

known as the pointers" point almost
directly to the Pole star. This majes-
tic movement Of the stars around the
pole Of the heavens is a most sublime
and wonderful sight.-Country Side.

THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER

An ideal newspaper for the Ameri.
can home must be %habitually clean
and high minded, it must offer some.
thing Of interest to every member
of the family, and it must present
daily the news of the whole world
in authentic and readable form. A
large contract you will say. Well, the
newspaper that comes the nearest to
filing it in the West is the Chicago
Record-Herald. It's moral tone is al
ways high, it's news service is unsur-
passed, and probably no other paper
in the United States has so brilliant
an array of special features suited to
the tastes and needs of every mem
Der of the family.
Business and professional men have
long regarded the Record-Herald as
the best paper for their own reading
because of it's unequalled faculty for
getting all the news of the world and
putting it into the briefest possible
form for the business man. They also
esteem it for the reliability of it's
financial, agricultural and market re-
ports. Young men perhaps find its
greatest attraction in the excellent
sporting department which fills four
pages on Sunday and a page or more
on other days. Wives and mothers
emphatically prefer the Record-Herald
on account Of it's well-cOnducted
feminine departments-its daily reel
pes and menus, it daily fashion news
and hints for home dressmaking, Nine.
Qui Wives pungent and sensible
beauty talks, Marion Harland's famous
page and the rest of the good things
that make up the handsome Woman's
Section in the Sunday paper. Chill
dren enjoy the Little Memo and other
Comic Section pictures, with the very
bright stories for boys and girls every
Sunday. And all the family together
can enjoy the interesting travels and
special articles by William E. Curtis.
Mr.. Kiser's humor and verse, the Sc
rial stories and many similar features
outside the news columns.
The Chicago Record-Herald has
every right to call itself the best all
around family newspaper in the West.

ODD JOBS ON WARSHIPS.
Many Ways For the B~Iuejackets to

The possible methods of making ex.

''TailoriZing" is one Of the most prof

man who is not ashamed to take in
washing can easily double his navy
pay. Every bluejacket Is expected to
perform the laundering himself, but
there are always men who prefer to

One Of the novel methods of earning
an honest penny is for a man with a
descriptive knack-usually a yeoman-

To add Joy to the farmer, prices
are high and bid fair to remain so.
Usually the farmer only gets high pric-
es in the years of scarcity, while. in
many instances, prices in bounteous
years have been so low as to make it
Improbable to market the crops. On
not a few occasions the past few years
have wheat and corn been used for
fuel. Last year was a lean year, but
in spite of this wheat prices are now
above last years level, while corn and
oats are high enough to make their
marketing profitable. Prices of grain

pared with last year are as follows:

A SENSATION PROMISED
When Whole Story of Whta kidnap

Sharon. Pa, March 24.-Believing
that the most interesting part of the
story OF the kidnapping of Willie
Willtld is yet to come. the people of
Sharon are waiting in eager expecten-
cy for the positive identification Of all
the persons arrested at Cleveland last
night and the story of the other per-
sons connected with the case The 9TH
els besides those who are not charged
with the crime are implicated in it is
doubted by few here and the discov-
cry of the others in the case promises
a. sensation when the facts become
known. That there would be an effort
to prevent the making public of
names which may be involved in the
case was surmised today by reason Of
activity in certain lines. but the proba-
bility is that the parties in custody will
not be permitted to withhold the names
of other persons implicated when the
case comes to trial.

the widow of his uncle. John Boyle,
who died recently, left this afternoon
for Cleveland. after receiving a mes
sage from 4 cousin saying the man in
custody is his brother. He was of the
opinion that a mistake had been made,
because of the fact that while the kid
Mapping occurred on the 18th inst, he
had letters from his brother postmark
ed at st. Louis. March 1G, and at Den
yer March II, indicating that he was
on his way West at too late date to
have reached Sharon for the kidnap-
ping. But the letter may hive been
sent to friends or accomplices in these
cities with instructions to mail them on
certain dates

in the habit of making infrequent

year ago and let it be known that she
came of 2 wealthy family and soon
would come into possession of consid
