What is Known of One of the Brightest Stars Now Soon in tho Evening Sky. About nine o'olock in the evening a bright star, of a yellowish hue,0 may be observed in the southeast part of the sky, about sixty degrees high, or two,thirds of the distance from the horizon to the zenith, or point overhead. That star is Arc turns, the brightest star in the Northorn sky and tho brightest in the heavens, except Sirius. It was written in the book of Job, at lo0t thirty-ono centuries ago (probably the oldest litern y work that has reachod the presOnt day), Which marketh Areturms, Orion an1d Pleiades and the chmibers; of the South. By a coinparison of ancient re cords with modern observations as tronomers have been led to the con clusion that this star is growing brighter, but whether the increase of brilliancy is caused by tho star coming nearer, or by a change in its luminous surface, c.nnot be detor mined. Tho spectrorcope has shown that many of the ele moentary substances with which scientists are acquainted are found in this and other stars, thus showt"ing a unity in 1,lhe composition of the bodies of the universe. Arcturus is one of the few stars whose distnelco has been approximately determined. According to the most accurate cal culations it is one hunded and fifty four billions of miles from the earth, a disbanco which light, moving at the rate of ono hundred and eighty five thousand miles a second, re quires about twenty-fivo yos.rs to pass over. When, therofoie, we look at this star, we see it, n ot, perhaps, as it now is, but by light which shows its condition a quarter of a century ago. Areturus is tho brightest star in the Constellation Bootes, the hordsnan, sometimes called the 3eardriver, beceuso lie appears to follow the Constellations of the Great and tho Little Bear around the North polo0 of the heavens. TURTLEs' Ecoos.- Turtles' eggs are held in great esteemi wherever they are found, as well by Euiropeamns aisi otherse. They have ai very soft shelll and are about the size of aL pigeon's egg. The mother turtles lay tiice a year, at intervals of two or three weeks, depositing in one night as many as a hundred at a laying. An exp1erienced eye andl hand are ro quired to detect the eggs, as they m e always ingeniously covered up with sand ; but, when they are hunted, very few escape. The Oronoco Indians obtain from these eggs a hind of clear, sweet oil, Iwhich they use instead of butter' In the month of F?ebruary, when the high wvaters of the Oronoco have re ceded, millions of inmties como o~n shore to deposit their eggs. TIhe certainty and abundance of the harvest is such that it is estimated by tile acre. The yearly gathering about the month of the riv'er alone is about five thousand jars of oil, and it takes five thousand eggs to make a jar. ~:*A \VALKINo ADvERIsEM.--If a .in church on Sunday, let him get a new pair of beets, go in I-lo gallery, and hold a conversation with several of his young pious friends during the delivery of the sermon, then get upl and walk out, creaking as he *goes, a real walking advertisement for a tan yard, and if the preacher don't come to a dead halt, awaiting his exit, and the eyes of everybody be directed to him, lamenting his :doparturo; then we give it up as a bad 4 job. We have seen it tried, as well as the patience of a congregation, oao, and it was a success. THE PIP IN rOULTRY.--Poul try are sometimes troubled with a disease known as the "pip." This is infla, mnation of the tongue and mouth, with a growth of a horny scale on $he point of the tongue, wvhich pre - vents the fowls from fooding. G*ivo c~h f!
