More About Astronomy. Written for the Boys aud Girls Read the Rr publican. Taking up our study, at 9 p. m. May 23d, of the sky where we left off, let us find another star of the Lion, Denbola of the second magnitude, east of Regu-lus and close to the meridian.

On this line, one-half way up in the south is an irregular square of four stars; the smallest star is Corvus and it was once the brightest. Three-fourths up on the meridian, is a large cluster of stars of various magnitudes. This is called the hair of Berenices. About one-half up in the southeast are two bright stars near together; the lower one is Spica, of the Virgin, the upper one is Saturn, whose rings are opening now. A fine light low in the southeast is Scorpius (the Scorpion).

Its brightest star, An-tares, is a bright red, a great sun whose crust is so dense that it has really ceased to give out light and heat, and in a few more ages will vanish from our sight. Above Scorpio is a large cross of third magnitude stars. The four upper belong to the Serpent and the four lower to Ophinchus (the Serpent bearer). The brightest star in this constellation is Ras Alhague, of A STRANGE CASE. How an Enemy was Foiled.

The following graphic statement will be read with intense interest: "1 cannot deserile the numb, creepy sensation thatexisted in my arms, hands ana loirs. I had to rub and bent those parrs until they were sore, to overcome in a measure the dead feeling that had taken possession of them. In addition, I had a strange weakness In my back and around my waist, together with an Indescribable 'gone' leeling in my stomach. Physicians said it was creeping paralysis, from which, according to their universal conclusion, there is no relief. Onco it fastens upon a person, they say.it continues Its Insidious progress until it reaches a vital point and the sufferer cli-s.

Such was my prospect. I had been doctoring a year and a half steadily, but with no particular benefit, when I saw an advertisement of Dr Miles' Restorative Nervine, procured a bottle and benan using it. Marvelous as it may seem, but a few days had passed before every bit of that creepy feeling had left me, and there has not been even the slightest Indication of Its return. I now feci as well as I ever did, and have gained ten pounds in weight, though 1 had run down from 170 to 137. Four others have used Dr.

Miles' Restorative Nervine on my recomen-dation, and it has been as satisfactory intlieir cases as in mine." James Kane, La Kue, O. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is sold by I druggists on a positive guarantee, or win direct by the Dr. Miles Medical Elkhart, on receipt of price, $1 per bottle, sit bottles for S5, express prepaid. It is free Iron ouiatcs or dangerous druiis.

FRIENDS AND PATRONS. the second magnitude. Just south of the east and west line and two-thirds up is Arcturus, a fine yellow star mentioned by that star gazer of old. Job. Northeast of Arcturus is a half circle of small stars with one bright one in the middle.

This is the Northern Crown and it contains at least one variable star. East of the Crown is Hercules. It has no bright stars, but it marks that quarter of the universe to which our sun aud system is speeding at about fifteen miles per second. Two-thirds up in the northeast is Vega, of the Harp, a fine blue star, forming a triangle with two faint ones, the left one of which is quadruple. Vega will be our north star in 12,000.

Now locate the North Star again, then the big dipper you will find just north of your zenith: between the two is a crooked line of small stars like a snake, terminating near Vega in three second magnitude stars forming a triangle. The north aud soudi ones are the eyes of Draco (the Dragon) and the crooked line is spoken of as his body. Who can trace it? Chas. Masterson. Held Up By Robbers.

On last Saturday night about ten o'clock while George Osfall, who is the merchant at York Center, was going trom his store to his home, a tew rods away, he was attacked by two men. As he reached the gate in front of the house, the men approached aud one of them drew a revolver, demanding that Mr. Ostall halt aud give up his possessions. This he did not propose to do, but walked on toward the house, when the men followed, striking him at least once with the fist in the face and twice with a club over the head. He made a brave fight and had one of the robbers down and was shutting off his breath when the other struck him the second blow with a club, which left him on the ground unconscious.

Mrs. Osfall heard the noise and ran to the door and called at the top of her voice for help. The men immediately fired two shots, evidently to frighten the lady, who hastened back into the room and procured a revolver and came to the door in time to see one of the men jump over the fence. She fired, but in the excitement undoubtedly missed the man, who in his haste left his hat, while the man who had been in the firm grasp of Mr. Onfall failed to gather up his collar and necktie that had been torn off in the struggle.

Bert Dunnavan, the clerk, who had left the store with Mr. Osfall, on hearing the call and the shots, hurried to the house, but did not arrive there until the robbers had escaped. Mr. Osfall was carried iato the house, and as his face was covered with blood it was thought he had been shot, but he soon became conscious aud is not ser iously injured. He carried from the store a pocket-book, a roll of bills and a sack containing about ten dollars in silver.

The first two articles he threw under a rose bush near the house after the tight began, but the silver was stolen. About one week ago, Mr. Os fall says he thinks these men planned to rob bim, but that night he carried a revolver, a thing he has done every night for many months with the excep tion of the night on which the robbery occurred.
