She prepared for this work at Wittenberg college, Springfield, O., recently completing her course. The general synod of the Lutheran church ia the United States picked upon Misa Stanley as one o^ its general mission­ aries for India, where a vast amount Of work has been done during the last tew years by this and various other denominations.

In the death of Frederick Max Mul- ler, professor of comparative philology at Oxford university, there has passed away a good man and a great scholar. His contributions to the world's knowledge of oriental literature and religions have been more Important aad voluminous than those of any of his contemporaries. These ^contrlba- tions began in his 21st year with the translation of a collection of Sanskri tables aad from that time to the pres ent scarcely a year of his industrious life has passed in which he has not added to the general stock of human knowledge by critical and explanatory essays and translations from the fas­ cinating literature of Asia. #. ---------- •»; Charles M.

Increase Whitin Welleeley "Prince of 'Pan-Handlet**" His love for a Philadelffhia girl Is said to be responsible for the reforma­ tion of George Munro, known all over the United States for more than twenty years as the "prince of pan-handlers." In the language of the street a "pan­ handler" Is a man who gets his living without working ^ lor it by plying the Q*0*** Munro- arts of a confidence man la a small Way. . , Now that he has reformed, Munro has no hesitation in declaring that there is not an honest man who really needs food begging for money on the atreets ox a Cn/, His advice to people who, while kind at heart, ob­ ject to being victimized, is to refuse every request for money made by street or house beggars. When a man comes to the door and asks for some­ thing to eat, Munro thinks he ought not to be turned away because "no professional panaer will go arouad from door to door begging for *sold victuals." between the hours of 8:30 and 9 p. m. During the second week, they will occupy the same position, between 8 and 8:30 p. m. During the third week, between 7:30 and 8 p. m. During the last week between 7 and 7:30 p. m. To be still more exact, we will ex­ plain that, owing to the annual mo­ tion of the earth, each star comes to any chosen point in the heavens near­ ly "four minutes earlier'.' every day, making a difference of neatly half an mhour in a week, and two hours In a month. And now this informal half-hour o! 1 lesson begins. : Immediately above our head, at the Zenith point, shines the Constellation "Cassiopeia" (the Seated Lady) in the shape of a large M composed of five remarkab'y fine stars of the third magnitude. It'displays it3 splendor to the right of the "Pole Star," at the same distance from it as the graat Dipper; only the latter con3tell uion is situated to the left of the Pole Star. One of the Cassiopeia stars is realty double and exhibits, to the naked eye, on very clear nights, the beautiful combination of a large white star and a smaller one of a rich, ruddy purple. In 1572, the famous Danish astron­ omer, Tycho-Brahe, discovered anoth­ er star in Cassiopeia, that almost equaled the planet Venus in bright­ ness. Two years later it vanished, and has "never been observed since. This month, the constellation "Cepheus" is found directly under "Cassiopeia"; Alderamin of the third magnitude ia the most remarkable of its stars; I told, in my preceding arti­ cle, the poetic legend of King Cepheus, King of Ethiopia, and of his Queen Cassiopeia's beauty--the cause of a terrible family disaster. Now, gazing down toward the* horizon our eyes meet "successively "The Little Dipper," including the Pole Star, just about I degree and 15 minutes to the right of the true North; still lower down, the chariot and horses of the "Great Dip­ per" stretch almost along the line of the horizon the dazzling radiance of their seven stars. Looking upward again, in an easternly direction, this time, we admire "Perseus" the deliv­ erer of poor Andromeda in the fable we alluded to above. If you draw an imaginary line between the star "a" of PerseuB (called Algenib) and the star marked "d" in Cassiopeia, and if you look intently for a few moments, you will notice a splendid cluster of small stars forming what Ls called a "nebula;" It is really worth the trouble. The star in Perseus, marked "b," has the curious property of changing from a star of the second magnitude to one of the fourth mag­ nitude; the transformation takes place in three and a half hours; then the star, in the same space of time, re­ turns to its pristine splendor, Just like a light-house lamp, flashing out every few seconds a dazzling ray of lumin­ ous beauty. Allowing oar eyes to travel down­ ward. always along the eastern direc­ tion, we recognize the Constellation Auriga" (the Waggoner or Char­ ioteer) with the superb "Capella" (the She-tioat) shining down on us. "Men- kalinan," another beauty, is a worthy mate of Capella. Three smaller stars in this constellation are known as "the Kids." dish hue, Is often called "The Bull's Bye." This month, several of the Constel­ lations--imperfectly visible in October, shine in their best and most perfect shape. "Pegasus" (The Winged Horse) stretches its triangle close to "Andromeda" (The Chained Lady), its three stars of the third magnitude Markab, Scheat, and Algenib, almost embracing Alpheratz, the chief lum­ inary of Andromeda, just as the fabled horse of the gallant Perseus flew to the rescue of the forlorn maiden. This quartet of stars serve to help us lo* cate many other constellations. Un­ derneath the stars "a" and "b" of Pegasus, shines the Zodiacal Constel­ lation "Aquarius" (The Water Bearer), with a number of fourth magnitude stars. To its right, a little above, we find the Constellation "Delphinus" (The Dolphin)--four stars in a square and one a little off to the east. Be­ low it, shines the magnificent Altair (first magnitude) of the Constella­ tion "Aquila" (The Eagle); the "Milky Way" again lends its richness as a back ground for this grand luminary. Directly under Aquarius, "Cetus" (The Whale) displays the very original design of its, nine stars; Mira (The Marvel), one of them, perhaps the handsomest, has quite a history. Dis­ covered In 1596, it has been found to mky Interfere with the 4ispiajr, "Mercury"--often difficult to with the aaked eyp, on comparative proximity to will- afjpear eatty in the " the west; after the 5th it will be bo near the Sun as to become invisible* Beautiful "Venus'* will i|laai|n» the skies toward the east d of the night-hours.

The suggestion made by a writer ia Harper's Weekly that the United States have a summer capital is plau­ sible but impracticable. It is urged that many officials find the heat un­ bearable. Thus, Secretary Hay has spent much time la New Hampshire and President McKlnley has found rest at Canton, while other members of th» administration have been forced to flee the torrid atmosphere of Washington. It is undeniable that the national capi­ tal is not an ideal place of summer residence and the heat is hard on the clerks, continues the Chicago Tribune. Perhaps it would be pleasant for them if the capital were located at some delightful summer resort, such as Chi­ cago. The dual capitals would en­ tail great additional expense and, al­ though Chicago would be a goo»d place as a summer capital, Chicagoons can- aot expect the government to settle here, even temporarily. The tempo­ rary inconvenience to officials is out­ weighed by other considerations. Meanwhile it cannot be said that the government Buffers by the occasional absence of the heads of departments in summer. It might have been true in the days of mail coaches, but now the telegraph and telephone enable a man to keep in touch with his busi­ ness in almost any place he may be. < Bngh'th JLaKe Dtstrfmt Menaced. The proposition to construct aa electric railway through the heart oi the lake district In England, for which a bill will be offered in the new par­ liament, Is meeting with strenuous op­ position, not alone because it will tend towards the defacement of that beau­ tiful region but because there is no demand for it In the district itself, the scheme being simply prompted by monetary motives. Some time ago an attempt was made to build a steam railroad through the district. It waa defeated, but there is now Imminent danger that the electric road promot­ ers may succeed.

To­ ward the west, above Pisces, .shines another Zodiacal Constellation, "Ari6s" (The Ram) with three bright stars la its horns, one, Hamal, of the second magnitude. Finally, near the south­ western horizon, we gaze upon the upper portion of "Eridanus" (The Riv­ er Eridan); this is the classical nasi© of the famous Italian river Po.

AMD STROMB NERVES W« fade Into i who an o 8 A> • With glowing health all things are possible, small nothingness and real troubles are battled with blessed with perfect health are a constant joy to themselves and all around them. The beauty Which health alone can make permanent is a Crown which raises a woman above other women. Such beauty is always accompanied by a sweet disposition, for snappishness is a sure sign of ill-health and leaves its mark quickly on the features. It seems to be the fashion-for wqmen to Ignore health and sacrifice it to the little every-day trials, or offer it up on the altar of devotion to daily tasks. Then again the nervous organization of women ia con­ stantly attacked by woman's natural ex­ periences, so that it is practically impossi­ ble for her to retain the beauty which nature gtfve her, unless she haa discrtmW nating advice and right support.
