BENEFITS OFTHE MOON. The moon inliiistcis to human wants in several ways that aro not so apparent as Its light giving unctions although sonic of them aro much more important. It Is by obcrving the position of tho moon with lefcrcnce to tho fixed stars that Ihc naviga tor determines his longitude. Upon the revolution of the moon about tho earth Is ba6ed a convenient division of time, the month, Intermediate between that furn ished by the earth's daily rotation and Its revolution through its orbit. Dotiblful points fn ancient chronology hnvo been frequently scttlcd'by moans of thoccllpso of the moon, the dates of whlch-could bo ac curately determined. The intervention of tho moon in eclipsing lhcstiu.gavcnstiono tners tho opportunities for-obtalning their first knowledge In regard to tho solar en velope. Hilt the largest effects on human welfare are produced by the moon through tho agency of the tides. Twico a day tiie decomposing organic matter brought down to tho seashoie by rivers, or deposited along tho water's edgn by human agency, issweot away by the tidal wavo in its course around. tho globe. This sanitaty scrvico which the moon performs is of inconceivable value. In many harbors large ships and heavily loaded rafts and barges are moved from the entrance to their wharves, miles above, by that slow hut powerful tugi tho flood-tide. An amount of work Is thus douo which, if It had to be provided hv artificial means, would cost for such a port as London, thousands, perhaps millions, of pounds1 yearly. A PRETTY EXfERIMENi-. Suspend from the celling :i thread which had previously been soaked In very salt water and then dried. To this fasten a light ring and anottuco-that you aro about to hum the thread without making tho riug fall. Tho thread will burn, it is tiuo, but the ashes it leaves are composed of cry stals of fait and their cohesion is strong enough to sustain tho light weight of the object attached to tho thread. M Another form of the 3amo experiment Is to inako a llltlo halumoek of muslin to lo suspended by four threads, after having soaked this in salt water and dilcd it, as be fore directed, to place In It an empty egg shell, Set the hammock on lire; the will beconstmed and tho flame reach the threads which hold it, without the egg ailing from its frail snsport. "LAST COME FIRST bERVED." That tho "early bird" does Hot al ways catch tho 'worm' is Indicated by the following anecdote. Twenty years ago, when Emma Abbot lived in tho backwoods of Illinois, she tried to get an appointment to teach school. Slio read an advertise ment In some paper of a teacher wanted In the next township. The town was seven teen miles away, ami thero was only one way for bravo little Kmma to get there, and that was by walking, She set oil, liowevei, on the lonely and hazardous jounev, -only to find when bho reached her destination that eleven other girls had got thero in ad vance of her. Footsoro and weary she crossed tho throshohl of tho room In which tho other applicants were sitting- A man was cross-examining one of them, and as she entered all looked up. They wero not rvllttlo surprised as sho gasped out: "I have walked seventeen miles to get this placo." The man jumped up from his scat and exclaimed. "And you shall havo It, Last come first served, this timo!" For Lnmbngo. FRESH, STrtONQ EVIDENCE. All night I rrott. Otlo.

Ethel's red lips culled scornfully. "Notiicnso, Mrs. Waitlol" she exclaimed, "why should lie jpi about Informing every body of his appioaoliing marriage if huiloes not see lit lo tlo so? H'hat do you think of this lace, Mrs. Wanle? Is it not cwquhltc?" holding up a mist of dainty white cobweb, as liglit.and airy as fulry frost-work. ' "Iit-aullful! .lust too lovely for any thing. Ah, Kthel, If I wuio like )ou young and beautiful, and with more money than you know what to do villi 1 Mould he perfectly happy." Tho fair whlto face glow sad; tho girl's dark oje drooped, ami Ihcra was a tone of pathos in the low, sweet ypIco as she answered: "Money alonu cannot bring happiness, Mn. ll'arde, and for my part ' "A gentleman in tho drawing-loom to sco Jfiss Kthl," nniionnced tho sc'rjantat the open door of the pretty boudQlPvhero Ethel vras entertaining her friend. , "There!" exclaimed Elhol. lightly.

Don't forget to find out all about the wedding. Ah here, '.Uat stupid, servant jrhtcvil tho can! whero-- IPiv, Kthel?'' in a tona of delight at her own discovery, nswiho picked up the visit' Ing card fiom the tablo whcie tho man hail placed It "if it isn't Van himself." Ethel linynn's facn grew red as tho heart of a Juno lose, and then pale asmaible. She set her white teeth Into her red tinder Hp, ami her eyes wore n look of .resolution. "To bo sure!" sho exclaimed, glancing at the bit of pasteboard, "and now, Mrs. Wanle, If you will noticiunln, I will go down lo the drawing-room." -Vis. Waido gave her nn alTectlonato farewell, nnd rustlcil away in her trailing silk, while Ethel, with ono swift glance nl tho mirror, which showed a graceful figure In nsoft, clinging black gown, with a red rose in tho corsage, and another in hn daik tresses, went swiftly down stairs to meet Van H'artington. Hho received him with stafely courtesy, but she was colder than she meant lo bo, for she feared that If she laughed anil jest ed with lilni as of yore, somehow her secret might bo suspected. For It was true nlas! for Ethel! Sho had given her heart to Van Warrington, and he was to bo married to ilfay Stuait in ten short days. She wondered a little at Van's evident abstractloif, Ho was pile, too, sho thought, and his eyes had a habit of flashing upon her with audi a strange eagerness in their depths, and withal so sad, that Ethel's heart thrilled with nameless recrot. "Shall I ongraUila(o him?" she asked herself, then decided In the negative. For It was plain that Van wished bis coming marrlaco to remain a secret for tlio present. He aroso to go, at length, and ilK'ii he took Ethel's hand hi his own. 'Ethel Miss llaynol't bo staiumeicil, but Ethel drew her hand swiftly from his grasp, and turned coldly away. "You forget yourself, Mr, ll'arrington," she said coolly, hei soft eyes flashing. Ho bowed. "Ibcg your pardon, Miss Jlayno," ho said hastily. "Indeed I did not not mean lo offend yfltt. Oood evening." Thero was tho sound of retreating foot steps, the door closed behind him; then the street iloor was opened and shut with re verberating echo. Ethel drew a long breath. "Ho Is gone, and tho ordeal Is over," she exclaimed. "Ah, how nut I to bear all this? I may llvo to bo an old woman, hut I can nover forget him, never till I die." In tlio meantime. Van Warrington, hast ening on down the street, was muttering to himself: "In heaven's name, what have 1 done to offend hei? Onlj tho last time wo met sho was so kind aud gracious, so sweet and lander, that I was fool enough to liellevo that she cared for mo." The very next day Ethel called at tho houso of an old clergyman, a good old man who had known and loved her since she was a child. Mi. Grey had. a caller, It seemed, and Ethel, standing in tho little reception-room which adjoined the library, heard him say distinctly: "I will bo most happy, Mr. Warrington. Tho ceremony Is to lake place al what hour, did you say?" And Van WauingUui's wcll-ivmombcicd all, loo well-remembQred voice made answer: "At eight precisely, on Tuesday next. You know the road to the Stuart place?" 'llcrfectly well, my dear sir!" returned tho clergyman. "I will be thero, I'royi denco permitting." Theu a quick footstep down the liull.and, as the caller passed from the Innw, Kthel caught a glimpse of Van Warriitston'sdaik. handsome fnco, and her worst fears were realized. Tho days rolled .by, and Ethel saw noth ing of Van. Tho day appointed for tlio wedding canto at last it came aud passed, and Kthel knew that them was nothing left for her hut to bo palionl. Hiti fur her all happiness was done. The day after tho wedding Ethel Kayno was sitting alone In- luir pretty boudoir, when a caller was announced. It proyed to bo Mrs. ll'arde, whoso chief occupation seemed to be a mania for retail ing tho latest gossip. Sho rustled Into tho room aud Mink Into a low, velyel chair. "Dear! dear! what a suipiisu to bosure," she ejaculated. "I just couldn't help dropping in to tell you all about It. I've seen tho bride May Slu.til, yon know?" Kthel nodded. "Tho wedding, It teems, was quito pri" yatc down at the .Stuart plantation; after which the bridal paity came up to tho city on their way north for a wedding tour. I I saw and spoke with l hum nil; and aud when I found out what a blunder 1 had made, I just told that dear, good Van War rington everything, after which I camu right on hero to make my pence with you Van will be here directly. You will bo kind to him. Elhol?" 'Oreat lleayen! what do you moan?" "This. I've been a gossiping, meddle- soiuo woman, yet I never meant f o do aitY harm, Heaven knows! Kthel, dear, May Stuart is married, but sho did not marry Van Warrington. It was his cousin, Vane NVarrlngton; the simlUrlly of tho names was the foundation for tho rumor, you seo. Well, tho order for the ling was given h) Van, ami ho also called on Mr. Grey to engage hint for tho occasion; but ho was acting foi UU cousin, for Vano was nultii 111, and confined to his room. Hut ho has recovered, aud is .Vay .Stuart's husband, and they aro now en routs for Xcw York. All! tho bell is ringing; that is Van come to explain to you, Kthel. It seems that the day I called here and repealed I ho ru mor that 1 had heard, Van called upon you to ask you to nmiry him, but you wero so cold and distant that, to uso a slang phrase, you froze him out, Now, Ethel, yott are not colnt! lo do that again." Ethel only smiled, and went down to the drawing-room to meet her lover. Evcrvthiuc was explained, aud the mis tako rectified, and Kthel itayuo and Van irarrlngtou were betrothed. They wero married not long ago, anil thov often think of tho sorrow which they both endured all through Mrs. Wnrde's loye for a little gossip. Heady for business.
