MIGHTY ARCTU7US.
u This Star Were Our Sun It Would
Instantly Consume the Earth.

The parallaX of star is its angular
displacement as seen from two OPP
pOsite points on the earth's orbit. The
base line employed i'll this gigantic spe-
cies of surveying is 1SG.o000O0 miles
in length, but the calculation is re-
duced to the semidiameter of the orbit.
The results are at the same time amaZ-
ing and instructive.
Let us take the famous star Arc
turus, often called the star of Job"
because in the Old Testament the
Almighty is represented us saying to
the unfortunate patriarch. who main
tains a certain dignity in spite of his
helplessness and his sufferings, "Canst
thou call forth Arcturus and his sons?'
Many conflicting measures of the
parallax of Arcturus have been made.
but the latest made at Yale seem more
probably correct than their predeccS-
sors. They fix the parallax at 0.OG6
seconds. e.. siXty-siX one-thousandth
of second of arc. From this it is
easy to calculate the distance OF the
star. 1t comes out at nearly 100000.
OOO,O0O.OO0 miles two hundred and
ninety tril!iOn miles,. This is more
than 100000 times the distance of
the earth from the sun.
Having this distance, we can calcu-
late the actual amount of light shed by
Arcturus. or. in other words, its ac
tual brightness as compared with that
of our sun. on the supposition that
both were at the same distance from
us. We thus find that Arcturus eX
ceeds the sun as a light giver about
$500 times! 1t Is sun 1900 times
brighter than ours.
Put the earth as near to Arcturus
as it is to the sun and all life would
disappear from its surface as if swept
OF by blast of inconceivable heat.
The summer temperature would rise
to tens Of thousands Of degrees. The
oceans would boil away. Vegetation
would be burned up in twinkling.

Just Try a Ten Cent

Insures you for months against a Sick
Headache, Biliousness, COnstipa-

Put aside-just once-the Salts,
Cathartic Pills, Castor Oils or purga-
tive waters which merely force
passageway through the bowels, but
do not thoroughly cleanse, freshen
and purify these drainage or alimen-
tary organs, and have no effect what
ever upon the liver and stomach.
Keep your inside organs pure and
fresh with Cascarets, which
thoroughly cleanse the stomach, re-
move the undigested sour and fer
menting food and foul gases, take
the excess bile from the liver and
carry out of the system all the de-
composed waste matter and poisons
in the intestines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will make you
feel great by morning. They work
while you sleep-never grippe, sicken
and cost only 10 cents a box from
your druggist. Millions of men and

Asleep in Meetin'.
(By Katharyne Clarke.

(By hatnaryne Cldrke
Last Sunday morn was rather warm
An l dropepd to sleep in meetin';
AM dreamt a mighty curious dream
In that ar moments sleepin'.
I dreamt, just while the parson
prayed
An Christians knelt around me,
That I was an old crippled tramp
An rags O. filth they bound me
walked upon the busy street
An these same Christians kneelin',
Eeach needed not my Outstretched
hand,
For me they had no feelin'.
In each's palm a coin was clutched
To fill the chapel's basket;
'Twould bought loaf to fill me up,
But / knew l darn't ask it.
For written on each face I saw
These words shine out like blazes
God makes His poor, let Him them
keep,
For me I'll sing his praises"
An then I met a worldly man
Who never prayed prayer.
Who never went inside a church,
(They wouldn't have him there).
His face was awful serious
An he want shocked at sin,
But he opened wide his cabin door
An let me, hungry, in.
Just then l woke, the parsons voice
So loud and clear was sayin'
His chosen text, an l had dreamed
The thing while he was prayin.
An this his text my brethren dear,
AS even to all these lowly
Ye did it so to me twas done.'
There is no praise SO holy.
Thro' all this week that parsons text
My sinful ears Is greetin'.
Its curious what feller'll dream
When he drops to sleep in meetin'.
