No Life on the Moon.
In the absence of all indication of any
sort of life whatever on the moon, with
no air nor water, together with the fact

 

5 that no change of any description has

been noticed by the keen and trained
eyes which have jealously scrutinized
its surface from the time of the first 2el-
escopic efforts ,to the present, we are
compelled to conclude that there are no
people who live in the moon. The
wonderful combination of mountain
and crater, valley and peak, is, after
all,- only a vast graveyard; and it living
beings ever roamed over its plains and
navigated its great seas, now dry, or
frozen with appalling cold, they have
been gathered to the nations of the dead;
and all traces of them having vanished,
the tall shafts of the mountain watch
over their last resting place, and, with
the crater rings, constitute their eter-
nal and magnificent mausoleum.—

Home J ournal.”

REFORM -WANTED.

What Might Be Done with Burglars
When Not Burgling.

.’ The quest-ion, What shall we do with
our burglars in the intervals of their
convictions? has been partly solved by
a man who appeared recently at the
central criminal court, London. His
story, says the LondonlNews, was one
of vulgar crime in most of its details.
He had been caughtbreaking intoa
house and he was now sentenced to 12
months' hard labor. It was particular-
ly well deserved, as he was an old of-
fend'er. But the police were able to
show that since his last release from
gaol he had been geting a living by re—
porting inquests for newspapers. No
one can cast the first stone at an honor-
able profession on that account, for
w as not Mr. Peace a. gentleman with a
gig of his own and a. distinguished mu-
sical amarteur? The more interesting
question is whether the prisoner was
well advised in his choice of a. depart-
ment of press work. Inquests must be
demoralizing in their tendency, as they
familiarize the mind with crime. Fires,
on the other hand, ought to be purify-
ing, and a close attention to the busi—
ness of the. police courts, with its pbund-
ance of awful examples, should make
a man four square in moral resistance
to every ill wind that blows.

EAT APPLES AT 'NIGHT.

Statement Which Reverses the Old Prov-
erb About the Fruit.

The apple is such a common fruit that,

very few persons are familiar with its
remarkably efficacious medicinal prop-
erties, states the Bulletin of Pharmacy.
. Everybody ought to know that the very
best thing they can do is to eat apples
' just. before retiring for the. night. Per-
sons uninitiated in the mysteries of the
fruit are liable to throw up their hands
in horror at the visions of dyspepsia.
which such a. suggestion may summon
up; but no harm can come even to a
delicate system by the. eating of ripe
and juicy apples just before going to
bed.

The apple is excellent brain food, be-
cause it has more phosphoric acid in
easily digested shape than other fruits.
It excites the action of the liver, pro—
motes sound and healthy sleep, and
thoroughly disinfects the mouth. This
is not all. The apple helps the kidney
secretions and prevents calculus

' growths, while it obviates. indigestion
and is one of the best-known preven-
tives or diseases of the throat. Every-
body 'should be familiar with such
knowledge; " ‘

The people have long since learned that
the most disagreeable medicines are not nec-
essarily the best. In fact, as a. rule, they are
not. What is wanted is something mild and
sure, such as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really
pleasant to take when reduced with water
and sweetened. Then it is acknowledged
everywhere to be the most successful remedy
in the world for bowel complaints. Ask any
number of druggists for the best remedy
they have for diarrhoea. and fully nine out
of ten will recomménd Chamberlain’s. In
speaking of this medicine, Mr. B. B. Bufl‘um

“ We. have usedit in our family for trio in
the stomach, colic and diarrhoea. an found

HIS FIRST LION.

Hunter Stands Still and Simply stares at
’ the Beast. .

In “Lion Hunting in Somaliland,”
Capt. Mellivs, tells how. he met his first
lion—Or, ’ rather, two. He had been
out on a hunt, finding nothing better
than gazelles and antelopes, and at
nightfall, after supper, lit his pipe and
strolled to the river bank. After a few
minutes spent in meditation he started
to return and saw a lion and a. lioness,
not more than 20 yards. distant, eyeing
him attentively. Capt. Mellie had not
even a. knife with him, and felt certain
that if he called for help the beasts

‘would pounce on him. So he did the

only'thing possible—he stood stock still,
hoping‘they might take him for an in-
animate object. They growled once or
twice, as if they suspected something,
but finally drank and went away quiet-
ly. After that he never stirred without
a. weapon of some kind.

A RUSSIAN PHILANTHROPIST.

Bought the Freedom of the Sci-ts of His
- Native Village.

There died recently in Moscow 9. man
who in the last 20 years gave $5,000,-
000 to charity. He was State Councillor
J ermakoif, who came from a poor fami-
ly. His first public act which excited
general attention was the purchase ‘of
the freedom of all the serfs living in
his native village. This cost him $120,-
000. He came to the rescue of the poor
people time and time again when the
harvests failed. His funeral was one
of the largest ever seen in the old burial
place of the Russian czars, thousands
of the poor of the capital following the
philanthropist’s body to the grave.

Stupid Litigation. ' ' .

. A stupidly obstinate piece of litigatio
has just been [settled by the house of
lords. Two Abcrdeenshire land owners
quarreled over the right to fish in the
River Dee, which borders their estates
for 150 yards. Both admitted that the
fishing was of no value, but they had
;spent $15,000 to have their rights de-
cided.

..

The Sea Cucumber.

The‘sea. cucumber, one of the 'curious
jelly bodies that inhabit the ocean, can
practically efface. himself while in dan-
ger by squeezing the water out of his
body and forcing himself into a. narrow
crack, so narrow as not to be visible to
the naked eye. He can throw out near-
ly the Whole of his inside, and yet live
and grow it again.

Listen for Angel Music.

The children at Bethlehem are told
by-their mothers that on Christmas eve
a. choir of angels sings above the place
where Christ was born. Travelers say
that on this evening scores, and some-
times hundreds, of children may be seen
in the open air, looking up into the sky,
waiting to hear the angels sing.

The accepted lingerie is nowadays all
”made of 'fine linen batiste‘trimmed with
real lace if one can afford it. The
undergarments of, silk or wool must

have frillings of lace'and ribbons about

the necks and armholes. .'
The number of gowns and hats in a

trouSseau is indeterminate and dec'ded -

only by the purse of the bride. T ere
should be many wraps and many" pretty
tea gowns, while bat-h robes and negliges
should. have special care given- them.

Silk petticoats should match the

stays, if not being of the same goods at
least of the same color as the principal
shade. Tan-color and black stockings
of silk are most useful and the white
silk wedding hosiery are either em-
broidered to the knees or have inser-
tions of real lace.

As 'to corsets, one cannot have too
many pairs. For summer those made
of cambri'c, batiste or silk gauze are
cool, and for winter one must have them
of embroidered satin, lined with silk.
A thin white batiste stay, with" white
silken stars upon it and worn with
elaborately frilled petticoats, is charm-
ing. ‘

There should be for one a. silken cider-
down dressing gown, a. bath gown of
pink flannel and lace frillings, a white
satin dressing jacket with la'ce inser-
tions, 3 morning gown of cashmere and
embroidery and the evening ‘tea gown
and the afteroon tea. gown and the one
for summer, which may also be used as
a. dinner gown.

THE INSPIRED CAMP COOK.

Things He. Must \ Know to Make Life
Pleasant for His Comrades.

Outing tells about camp cookery, in-
cluding the cook. The genuine camp
cook is an artist in his way. The musi-
cian makesmen hear things entrancing
and the painter bring-s tears to the eyes
if inspired. The camp: cook genius, by
the very way in which he does his work,
makes men hungry.

“The camp cook,” says the writer,
“should take pride in the artistic hands
ling of his utensils, particularly in the
ability to keep half a. dozen things going
at once; he must keep already cooked
things hot; and cook the uncooked
things in the meantime. To do' this he
has to. understand the kinds of fire to
have, whether large or small blaze, hot
ashes or red-hot embers. He should
also know him to get the most work at
the least expenditure of labor from his

, comrades. Something many cooks are
lacking in is the way to keep camp

dishes clean for cooking. Au unwashed.

apple saucepan will serve to fry trout
in and give them a pleasant taste, but

an unwashed fish spider will scarcely

serve to cook apple sauce in. In other
:words, the cook should know when and
what to was .”
