Venus closed her rocord as a morning star on the 1st of the month, and com menced her reign as evening star on the 2d. The earth will enjoy her serene light in the evening sky through the winter, spring and summer of the next year, for sno will be the evening star until Septem ber 20. She will not be visible during the present month, for the simple reason that she is hidden in the Bun’s intense bright ness. Met-cury was evening star until the 3d, and is morning star for tho rest of the month. oaturn is morning star. If Venus and mercury claim precedence for the interest ing epochs that enliven their course. Saturu stands unrivaled on the December annals for his beautiful appearance among the stars, and for his highly favorrble po sition for observation, lie reigns alone in the evening sky. Jupiter is morning star. Observers of the eastern sky, soon after 3 o’clock in the morning in tho early part of the month, will behold the advent of the princely planet, when he will come looming above the horizon with a brightness which sur passes that of any other visible star. Mars is evening star. He sets nearly two hours after the sun. Uranus is the morning star. Very bright eyes will discern his presence three de grees south of Gamma Virginis. Neptune is evening star, and under favorable conditions for telescopic observa tions, being nbove the horizon nearly the whole night, he may bo found south of the Pleiades. At the close of the month Neptune,Mars and Venus are evening stars; Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn are morning stars. Fresh Fashion Notes. Passementeries of steol and silver are used to decorate rich black satin dresses. Plushes with frise stripes of seal brown and navy blue arc among the new goods. Silk stockings in moss-green, heliotrope and yellow are lurgely imported for even ing wear. Turbans in velvet or plush, trimmed with fur, will bo worn by youitg girls this winter. Brown is one of the most useful of the season’s colors, and is seen in endless va riety of shades. Unique brocades, satins, gros grains, tulle and gauze are the materials most fa vored for evening dresses. Faille Franeaise is made with a “locked weave,” which prevents its drawing in the seams as did the gros grain. Some exquisite bonnets in grav tones areBhown.

Harry once had an ardent alfection For two lovely girls—but confessed He was puzzled to make a election, Since each in her turn Heemed the best. Ho constantly tortured his mind to Determine the endless debate: Sometimes it was Maud he inclinod to— Sometimes it was Kate. If Maud had a face like a fairy, Yet Kate had a form like a queoen; As Maud was vivacious and airy, So Kate was sedate and Hercne; While years past with Maud as It is.wife would Bring happiness nothing might sate, An equally rapturous life would Be given to Kate. And long lie remained undecldod Which one he preferred of the two; Between such attractions divided, What was the poor fellow to do? These doubts ill anxiety kept him Until ho attempted Ins fate, To And—that Maud wouldn’t accept him And neither would Kate! Malaria.

At length it was Agreed to leave it to the Owl, and tho Parrot stated the case to him in a very Lawyer-like fashion: “Ladies and Gentlemen,” said the Owl when both Bides of the case had been pre sented, “I will take the Case under Ad visement and render a Decision in Due time.” Forever after, when Appealed to for his Decision ho Preserved utter Silence, and the Beetle Faction and the Grasshopper Faction still meet to remark: moral: “Isn’t it Wonderful how wise a bird the Owl is.”—Detroit Free Press.

A BOUT seven years ago 1 had a humor break out upon \uy face ; it started in a small blotch and looked like the sting of a bee, then it spread and looked like a ringworm, and became very painful. I at, once went to one of the best doc tors in the city and he could do me ho good. No leas than twelve of the best doctors have had a trial at my face and all of them failed. I will not give you a list» f of their names, but will say that they were from Boston, New York and Maine, also from England, France and Canada. I have been a hotel cook and steward for years. In tli‘e summer I cook at watering places; that is why I have har. ‘.an opportunity of being: amoi g good doctors. They could not cure my face, ana I had given up all hopes of eter being any better. Last June, 1 went to Moosehead Lake, Maine, to cook for the season. My face was so bad I dii > ot like to be seen. At the lake I met a gentleman from England. He told me <o use your Cuticura Rem edies and tin y would cure me at once. 1 did so. The result was in three weeks the sores on m lace were healed up. I used it all the season. My race is all well and no scars to be seen. 1 have recommended it to a number, and in every case it has cured them. It would take a great deal oi* money to put me back where I was one year ago, providing 1 did net know what your Cuticura would do. 1 shall recommend it as long os I live, and shall ever nr. 1 main, H STEVENS.
