Castoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria in stead of the various quack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful apents down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graves."

Are you the possessor of a pair of field glasses or even opera glasses? If you have not smoke a piece of common window glass and take a squint at the sun. Ur use tne opera glass wnen ma sultry highness has sunk far enough into the vapors of the horizon to be well dimmed, and you can see an interesting sight about now. says the Davenport Dem ocrat. Almost dead in the center of the great red orb will be seen a round black spot. It looks to be the size of an ordinary nail head 30 feet away. Below it and nearer the southern limb will be seen another and smaller but similar spot. Both of them look as though somebody had been carelessly shooting at the glorious god of day, and had made a couple of bulls eyes. To say that these spots look like bullet-holes is to exactly describe them. That is just the appearance they present. The possessor of a pair of good eyes has little difficulty in seeing the spots, especially the larger one, unaided. After a glimpse of it is once obtained it is plainly seen, an d the other one can be made out when its position is known. Observations made day by day will show the gradual travel of these spots across the disk of the sun, if they are not ob literated by the changes that are continu ally taking place in that body, before its edge is reached. They are now in the best possible position for observation, and no doubt the telescopes of the as tronomers are turned upon them full tilt. Much of our information, such as it is, of the nature of the sun and its source of heat, has been de rived from the study of these phenomena. As a rule, enormous sunspots are accompanied by displays of electrical and magnetic energy, often re sulting in storms and the aurora borealis. Sometimes the disturbances take the form of electrical storms: simple distur bances of the electrical conditions of equilibrium. in which telegraph lines may be operated without battery, or refuse to work at all, as they may happen to be operated with or against the prevailing currents; in which the magnetic needle is agitated, aDd in whicn sometimes even the commonest objects are electrified so as to give off sparks and act queer in other ways. It has not yet appeared that the?e spots have upset things in any ot these ways. HILLSDALE. Hillsdale, Aug. 10. The refreshing rain of last night will be a benefit to corn.

He took advantage of every opportunity to advance his interests by extensive advertising But, my sakes! Barnum would never have dared lo place, or have placed on the elegant structure now beiDg erected by the Commercial club, a poster announcing the advent of his cir cus, neither would he have dreamed of us ing the exterior of the new Lombard build ing to herald his coming It has, how ever, remained for a local manufacturer to set the pace, as the following an nouncement on a immense canvass will show not alone rn the Lombard build ing, but also on the Commercial club building: "The rapidity with which this building was raised is accounted for by tbe fact that they used Climax baking powder.

A small Moline boy, named Charley McManus, had a narrow escape from death at about S o'clock yesterday after noon, lie was struck by a switch en gine, knocked down, and the little finger of his right hand was out off by the wheels. There were a few other cuts and bruises, but nothing more serious. A dog that was with the boy was cut to pieces at the same time. "Making Up" with a Prince. The following story would srera incred ible if my father had not heard it from au eyewitness. When Colonel Innox, after wani Duke of Richmond, called out and nearly shot the Duke of York, the indig nation of the royal family and their friends was extreme. After a time, however, the prince regent forgave the audacious 1 del ist and quite unexpectedly asked him to dinner. A large party was awaiting the arrival of their royal host when, to their amazement, Colonel Lennox was an nounced. Being received with silence and cold looks he resolved to mark his sense of the courtiers disapproval. So he laid down two chairs side by side on the floor and leaped over them. Being a man of sinrru lar activity, he repeated this little comedy after laying a third chair over the lirst and again after laying a fourth on the second and again after laying a liftli on tl:e summit. At this last jump, however, his foot caught the topmost chair and the pile was scattered over the floor. Atthis moment tlie prince entered the room, and in astonishment asked the un seasonable athlete what, on earth he was about. '"Really, sir," replied the una bashed visitor, "it is most unfortunate. Jso one spoke u. word, and I had to amuse myself; but I sincerely hope that none ot your royal highness' chairs is broken." The prince laughed, and the matter blew over. "No one but a thorough gentleman," said my father, who used to pronounce this word with a iw.-culiar emphasis, and to employ it in a somewhat narrowly exclu sive sense, "could have carried the affair off as Colonel Iennox did."
