He 1s entitled to special honors for two reasons—he Teaches opposition, the most important epoch in his course, and he is faintly visible to the naked eye. He is in opposition with the sun on the 1ith at midnight. This means that when the sun isin the west he is in the east, riging when the sun sets, and setting when the sun rises. If we could be transported to the sun. and endowed with eyes to see, a straight line extending from that point of lew would pierce the earth, and, if extended, reach Uranus, thus showing the earth and Uranus at their nearest point of approach. No one dreamed that there could be a planet. beyond Saturn uatil 1781, when Herschel accidentally discovered Cranus while observing the stars, and realized go little the prize he had found as to consider the new planet nothing but an ordinary comet. Uranus at opposition becomes evening etar, and joins his brother planets, Neptune, Saturn and Jupi- ter, on the eastern side of the sun, the four giant planets playing the same role, and all traveling from opposition to conjunction. Though Uranns when brightest, as at present, has a diameter of not quite fonr seconds, he shines as a star of the sixth magnitude, and can therefore be seen with the naked ey He is in the constellation Virgo, near Beta Virginis, a star of the third magnitude, in the southern wing of the Virzin, and nearly twelve dexrees south of Dembola.in the Lion. A good observer, with these directions, knowing his right ascen- sion and declination, as here given, will be able to pick up this far-away planet on any clear, moontess night during the month, as a small, faint star. At 9 o'clock inthe evening he will ; be in the eastern sky, about half-way to the meridian. A telescopic view is more interest- Ing, for there he appears as a well-defined little Hfted from the groun anah aie hee moon, of a delicate sea-green hue. A good in- strament will bring out two or his four moons, but the other two are among the most @ifficult objects in the solar system to detect. and are ; never seen excepting in the largest telescopes in the world. Jupiter is evening star. Though entitled to the first place for the brilliancy of his appear- ance, he surely wins the second for the incl- dents he contributes to the planetary studies of the month. He is splendid to behold as he proudly looks down trom the zenith and is al- most a3 easiiy recognized as the sun and moon. On the 15th. at 9 o’ciock in the morning, he reaches{quadrature, the half-wav house between opposition and conjunction. He is then on the meridian at 6 o'clock. rises at noonday and sets at midnight. This is one ot his most interest- ing aspects. for his brightness has scarcely grown dim since opposition, and he 1s so sit- uated that he is easily brought into the teles- copie field. These are the nights when he is ‘uperb in the wonder-working instrument. ust now there is a great excitement among ob- servers. The regal planet ha3 lost one of his most interesting appendages. The “great red spot” has almost entirely disappeared from his dise. This wonderful phenomenon appeared in It was about twenty-six thousand miles long, and six or eight thousand miles wide, the ‘as incongruous, and the color was a delicate shade of rose. There has been no end to the attention it has received and the eager- ness with which it has been observed. Now it has gone, and the men of science are little the wiser for the attention they have given to it, and the accuracy with which they have meas— ured its revolutions. Various theories have been elaborated to account for it. Some of the scientists think it was an enormous riftin Ju- piter’s cloud atmosphere, revealing the more solid nucleus beneath. Others think that It was aslag or crust formed on the semi-fluid sur- | face of the planet, revolving with tt and grad- ually melting down till it has nearly vanished, Others think it was a huge cloud, made up of the smoke coming from a long-continued vol- to allow jin out of macri for a tril with more expensive material in | lor, and then crocheting a cover | This | cover should be about half as deep as the basket, ze to be tied in; as this tothe bottom of the basket, It 1s me twine. little pockets. color. aud the edge n | make for supper: Take equal quantities or cold | | onin th | structed at a cost of 45 cents. ome cheap covering for the sed for a work-basket in- if you please; in this the upper rim of the basket fasten a ion, a needlebook and one or two Suori.per Qvit.7s—Shoulder quilts are quite | the fashion now, thai is, quilts about half the siz Tay thin ¢ the ordinary one.

A Dist ror Scrrrer.—This dish may be new to some cooks, and it is an excellent one to rocheted boiled ham and veal: chop them fine, not ut the same time, but keep them separate; boil, say, half a dozen eggs hard, and chop them also; then in a padding dish put a layer of veal, rinkle pepper and salt over it, and moisten it ith water or with a little Worcestershire sanee; then put a layer of ham, and then of ws, with pepper and salt overthem. Keep nis way until the dish fs full, or your ma- terial is ueed up. If the ham had some fat on it you will not need to add any butter; but if not, put a few lumps of butter on the top, cover the pudding dish and bake slowly for four hours. Then take It from the oven, set it in a cool room, with a heavy welzht onthe top. By tea time it ought to be cold and firm enough to cut Into thin, smooth slices.

One of the most simple and readiest methods for loosening a rusted screw ts to apply heat to the head of the screw. A small bar or rod of iron, flat at the end, if reddened In the fire and plied fora couple or three minutes to the | head ot the rusted screw, will. as soon as it heats the screw, render its withdrawal as easy by the serew-driver as if it was only a recently inserted screw. As there is a kitchen poker in every house, that instrument, if heated at its extremity, and applied fora few minutes to the | head of the serew or serews, will do the re- quired work of loosening, and an ordinary screw-driver will do the rest, without causing the least damage. trouble or vexation of spirit. Tn all work above the common kind, where it is necessary to use screws, and particularly in hinge work and mountings, fancy fastenings and appliances affixed to joinery or furniture work, we would advise the oiling of screws or the dipping their points in grease before driving them. This will render them’more easy to drive and also to withdraw, and it will undoubtedly retard for a longer time the action of rusting.— London Builder. SOME HEALTH HINTS. For bruises or sprains bathe the part in cold water until you get ready a decoction of worm- wood and vinegar. When the herb 1s fresh gathered, pound the leaves, wet with vinegar, and bind on, and when the herb is dry put it in the vinegar, and let It boil a short time; then bathe the bruise with the decoction and bind on the herb. There ts nothing better fora cut than pow- dered resin. Get a few cents’ worth, pound it until it is quite fine, put it in a cast-off spice box with perforated top, then you can easily sitt it on the cut. Put a soft cloth around the injured member, and wet it with water once in a while; it will prevent inflammation or soreness. When one has a bad cold and thenoseisclosed ‘up so that he cannot breathe through It, relief may be found instantly by putting a little cam- phor and water in the center o: the hand and suuffing it up the nose. It is a great relief. Hoarsenees and tickling in the throat are best canic eruption in the chaotic mass underneath. Similar spots will doubtless take the place of the one that has gone, and, some day, astrono- mers may find out their meaning. But many a red spot must run its course betore light treaks through the darkness that surrounds this giant world, more like a sun than a planet. Saturn is evening star, and. though he has per- ceptibly grown dim since opposition, ranks next to Jupiter insize and brightness. There are no noteworthy incidents in his course during the | month, as he slowly makes his way towards the sun, seeming to move little from his position southwest ofthe Pleiades. Observers will note theshortness of his stay above the horizon, as he sets now half an hour before midnight, and makes his transit about half-past 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Neptune is evening star, and leads the giant | quartet in the time of rising and eetting. ‘The space between himself and his brother Saturn is y widening, the former making his venteen minutes before the latter. Mercury is morning star during the month, and the most active member among the planets that play this role. On the 3d, he reaches his ereatest western elongation. He is then 27 deg. 10 west of the sun, and is far enough from him to be visible during nearly the first half of the month. Althongh at elongation, he is nearly as far from the sun as possible, he is so far south of the sun, that he is not seen under as favor- able conditions as when north of the sun,and at less distance trom him at elongation. There are, however. but three favorable occasions during the year when he 1s visible as morning star, and the present comes first on the list. Observers who command a good view of the eastern horizon will find him on exceptionally clear mornings, about three-quarters of an hour before sunrise, not far from nine degrees south of the sunrise point. Mars is morning star, and at the beginning of the month is’nearest to the sun of the morning stars. Venus is morning star, and though placed last on the list, is by no means least. She is a superb object in the morning sky, rising two hours and @ quarter before the sun and continuing visible till within a few minutes of sunrise. She has, however, fallen from her highest estate ; her bright face grows dim, and her stay above the horizon decreases as she wends her way towards the sun and away from the earth. THE MOON. The March moon fulls on the 23d, at twenty minutes past 1 o’clock in the evening. The full March moon plays an important part in the affairs of men. For as she fulls three days after the vernal equinox, she determines, in accord- ance with the law, that Easter shall fall on the following Sunday, the 25th ; and Easter, in turn determines the other movable feasts and fasts of the church. The short time intervening between the yernal equinox and the full of the moon brings Easter this year within three days of the earliest date the testival can occur. In 1818, Easter fell on the 22d of March, the earliest date ossible. Such will not be the case again either in this or the following century. The moon pays her respects to the planets inthe following order: The waning moon is near Venus on the 5th, and near Mercury and Mars on the 7th. The new moon ofthe 8th is in conjunction with Neptune on the 12th, Saturn on the 18th, Jupi- ter on the 15th, and Urauas on the 22d. She presents five phases during the month, being pee in the last quarter on the 2d and on the Ist. A Pointed Tak From the Detroit Free Press.

Last Sunday evening, in the lumbering vil- lage of Niles Valley, Tioga county, Penn., John Hamlen, a Swede, placed a target in front of a boarding house in the village and amused him- self by firing at it. A lady who was ill in the house requested Charles Fulford, a boarder, to ask the man to stop firing. Fulford stepped to the door and made the request. The Swede turned around, and without a word deliberately fired at Fulford. The latter knocked the Swede down and then fell to the sidewalk. On being lifted from the ground he was found to be dead. ‘The news of the trayedy speedily spread through | the village, and a crowd seized Hamlen, and, procuring a rope. hurried him toward the woods with theintention of lynching him. A number of citizens interfered, and succeeded in resculng Hamlen and getting him safely to the jail at Wellsboro. A coroner’s jury rendered a verdict of willful murder against Hamlen. Fultord had been in the place only a tew days, having gone from Irving Center, where he leaves a wife and child, to work in the mills at Niles Valley. $e. A Ghost Story from Georgia. Mr. Adams, who lives In Montgomery county, Ga., about ten days ago was alarmed by loud rappings against the side of his nouse as if some one was beating against it with sticks. When he would open the door to go ont and investi- gate the matter the rapping would begin on the inside of the house. No trace of the cause could be found. The disturbance has greatly in- creased within a few days, and the rapping finally became so violent that Mr. Adams tore down the ceiling and walls of the house in en- deavoring to find a reason or explanation for the singular proceedings. The entire matter is in- volved in the greatest mystery. People are greatly alarmed, and are flocking by hundreds. to Mr. Adams’ house to try to solve the mys- tery. ee Saturday Smiles.
