of special brilliancy but many others
only little less brilliant, forming,
therefore, region Of marked splen-
dor. The northern groups, which
never disappear below the horizon,
are Cassiopeia, Cepheus and Draco
west of the pole. Ursa Major and
Ursa Minor east of the pole. in the
northeast are Auriga and Perseus. the
former containing the brilliant Ca
pella.
The annual feature of December
which is of greatest popular inter-
est, and historically marked by fes-
tivals of varying types in different
nations, is the winter solstice,
which occurs this year on the 22nd
at 6 a. m. The days at once begin to
lengthen as the sun takes up again
it's northern journey, and the coming
of summer is written in the sky be-
fore the winter has fairly set in.
The year closes with two periodic
comets under observation. Besides
Halley's famous comet, faint COM
ct known by the name of its discov-
erer, Winnecke, which returns at
intervals of a little less than siN
years, is now telescopically visible.
This comet is one of large number
which have had their periods short
ened by the attraction of the planet
Jupiter. Another comet of this group,
seen first in 1896, is also due at this
time, but it is not favorably placed
for detection. 1t may escape observa-
ton altogether.
The past year was especially fav-
ored with the near approach of Mars
to the earth, which stimulated
planetary research The coming year
will be memorable for the observa-
ton of Halley's and perhaps other
comets and for the resulting stud
les in the cometary astronomy.

What the world needs for its re-

any new scheme of government or

will afford opportunity for the ex-
ercise of such qualities. Reformation
along any line is not so much an at
tempt to make the world better as
to give mankind chance to be bet

its of the Scottish poet that he found
the universal things in the eXper-
fences of the little villages in which
his life was passed, that he had an
unerring instinct for fundamentals
So we find him stating as a part of
his philosophy,
Its no in titles nor in rank;
It's no in wealth like Lon'on bank,
To purchase peace and rest;
It's no in making muckle mair,
It's no in books, it's no in lear,
To make us truly blest.'

Paint and Powder.

When reproaching the women Of
today for their use OF face bleaches,
cosmetics, powder and various other
modes of supposed Identification and
repair of the ravages of time, it is
always with the air of it's being a
wholly modern weakness, whereas
it goes back to the earliest ages, and
the artificial means Of enhancing
charms of face and figure have been
in use certainly since the days of the
Pharaohs and might even be traced
back to Eve if there were any rec
ords- except the brief fsct--of that
lady's life. Does not the moralist
raise hands in horror over the dis
covery of dainty receptacles for
paint, found in the tomb of a young
Egyptian lady in late find of num-
mics? Do not the Hebrew prophets
enlarge on the sinfulness of vain
women's adornments, among which
are carefully enumerated cosmetics
and hair dyes Did not Queen Esther
call on the arts of the toilet before
she essayed beguiling Ahasuerus to
free her people and punish the wick
ed Hannah? Did not the Roman
women battle in milk and wine, paint
and powder, dye their hair and eat
certain foods supposed to affect the
complexion? Have not eastern women
always used anthony to enhance the
beauty of their eyes, and stained the
tips of their finger ends with henna
Then why refer to the customs of to-
day as something novel? The fact Of
the matter is, that, as a rule, there
is less folly exhibited in this way
now than heretofore.
