This distance la tho Shortest, tor a couple of years, but It la far from being th least that can occur. Hence, while, the opportunity, will not be neglected ot Viewing" thin mysterious planet with Its wonderful sytetrt of so-called canals, no very special effort will be made In this line at this opposition. Mara may be found not far' from the Twins, Castor and, Pollux. Its r6d color will readily identify it. Saturn is alio, llko liars, In beat posi tion for observation. It. is very near Atdebaran, the brightest star in Taurus. It is on the meridian on the II th at J:3 p. nt, and shines -with it soft, yellowish and steady light. Venus and Jupiter, the brightest of all the planets, are, Ihvlslblo tha whole month pn account of their nearness to the sun. 1 The sun rises on the 1st, 16th and Slat at 7!53, 7:EQ, 7:39, and seta at 6.03, C:1S, E:37, making, tin day's length nine hours. ten minutes; nine hours, twenty-Blx mln utcs; nine hours, fifty-eight minutes, a Bain of forty-eight minutes during tho month.

J What, mother, Is meant by a "father's strong hand?" When a woman, little one, .Is a widow, the people say her children need a "fath-' er"a strong- hand;" but when children h'avo a father, this 'Is nil "father's strong hand" amounts to; When they are had he grumbles to their mother, "Why .don't you makp those children behave 7" At what age, mother,- does a child begin to detect its mother In a falsehood? Maiternal reverence, llttlo one, forbids, an answer, but I have heard that children of 3 years notice this. A mother will re mind a child It lias on Us best dress and must keep It clean, and five minutes later will say to a neighbor in a deprecat ing way. . "OH. that Is only an old rag. I am ashamed to have the child seen In It." What Is the daughter thinking about, mother, dear? ' Every daughter, little one"! is thinking if she were mother, .alio would make father stand around.

If a man wants his wife to notice that a button In off his coat, let his put a woman's hair where the button ought to be. What, mother mine. Is meant by pass ing between flcylla and Chary bdls? It means, little one, the cxpcrlenco of eyery mother whoso children demand more money of her, and whose husband tells her she must get along on less. They call some bridesmaids, others flower girls and othcru maids of honor. What, mother dear, do they call the woman who sings "Oh, Promise Mo" at the wedding? Thero la no name for her, my child. but she Is really the cnllope. of the pn-rade. What, mother mine, la meant by the word "spirituelle?" ' It Is a wonl, dear child, which sensllilo .people never uao. Tho temperamental apply It to a very thin girl whoso father hu monev. If he were poor. -no ono would say 'tho girl Is splrltuellcj they' would say she Is "skinny." What, mother, Is t'hls wild goose' chase we hear so much about?
