MOONRISE.
I BCO a stretch of shining sky
Like some fuir ocean sunset lit.
Peaceful and wide its spaces lie.
And purple shores enoompass it.
A little slender silver boat
Upon its bosom is afloat.
This craft, unstaid by winds or tides.
Slips out across tho twilight bar;
Through rosy ripples, soft she glides.
Led by a single pilot star;
With shadowy sails and fairy crew.
She drifts along the summer blue.
She's filled frqm stem to stern with flowers
And Lovo and llopo and Happiness.
WIM auglit of what she brings be ours?
Ah met if we could only guess!
Sho rides elusivo and remote,
This little slender silver boat.
—Francis Winne in London Spectator.
JUST IN TIME.
She followed him all day long like a
little dog. If he ran, she ran, fell and
scrubbed hor knees, cried and was lifted
up again. Thus it went on from the
week's beginning to its end.
110 grew tired of her, and would have
liked to run away from her. But he did
not dare, for she was his master's daugh
ter, and he was—well, there was the
rub—he did not know who ho was.
He woke up one day and found him
self born. The sky was above him, and
tlicro would have been earth beneath
his feet, if ho had not pointed them in
the wrong direction. He was christened
in a random way Ola, and was put on
the parish, as they say.
Jeus Oestruo took him as his share of
tho parish burdens. When he was six
years old he could be made useful
enough to earn his food and shelter.
Jeus Oestruo then wanted to send him
away, but his little daughter Birgit was
so fond of him that he decided to keep
him.
When Ola was twelve years old he
could kick a cap from a nail high above
his head. Birgit was so fond of Ola that
everything ho did seemed admirable.
Once sho said a bad word and Ola was
whipped for it.
So Ola was sent to the mountains; he
roamed with his alpine horn over tho
wide mountain plains, ato berries,
caught fish, set traps and was happy.
He hardly thought once of the little girl
down in the valley.
One day lato in the summer she came
up to the dairy with her mother. She
was carried up on horseback in a basket.
When she saw him she flung herself
down upon tho grass and screamed with
delight.
But when her mother had reached the
hut she ran up to him and hugged him.
While the cattle were being milked he
went to look after his tilings. She fol
lowed him, proud in the thought that he
tolerated her.
"Look here," ho cried, lifting up a
brown hare, "isn't that a big fellow?"
"What is it?" she usked.
"It is a hare."
"No, it isn't a hare. A hare is white."
"It is brown in summer. It changes
its skin."
"Has ho two skins, one inside tho
other?"
Instead of answering ho took his knife
and cut the hare's skin.
"No," he said, "he hasn't got more'n
one."
* * • • • •
Tho time came when he had to go to
the parson to prepare for confirmation.
It so happened that she went the same
year.
But, though he had a coat now, it was
a cast off one of Jeus Oestruo's, which
was much too big for him. His boots,
too, and his trousers had seen better
days before they made his acquaintance.
He walked aside from tho rest, his
ears burned when any one looked at him.
But if any one dared to mock him, he
used a pair of fists which inspired re
spect.
Ho was a handsome enough lad and
finely made, but his clothes and his
frowsy hair made him look ugly. Heavy
thoughts came to him, and a fierce, de
fiant spirit was kindled within him.
It was at such a time that Birgit sought
him and Bpoke kindly to him.
"You mustn't mind the girls," Bhe
said; "they laugh at everything. They
don't moan anything by it. It's just a
way they have."
"Somebody will come to harm if you
ever do it," he answered fiercely.
"That is foolish talk," she gently re
monstrated. "I know you too well,
Ola. You wouldn't harm me."
"Ah, you don't understand me," he
said. "It is no use talking."
"Oh, yes, I do understand you, Ola,"
sho replied, with a smilo, "and I wish
you would let me say one thing to you
before I go."
"Say it."
"I wish—l wish," she stammered,
while a quick blush sprang to her
cheeks. "No, 1 think I won't say it,
after all," she finished, and turned to go.
"Yes, say it," he entreated, seizing her
hand.
"Well, I—l wish you could do as the
hare, change your skin."
Bhe drew her hand away from his and
ran down the hillside, so that the stones
and dry leaves flew about her.
That night he picked a quarrel with
Tliorger Sletten, who was said to be at
tentive to Birgit, and he thrashed him.
All the following winter he kopt watch
of her from afar, and picked quarrels
with ovorybody whom she seemed to
favor.
"Change my skin," he pondered.
"Change my skin, like the hare. How,
oh, how can I do it?"
This thought followed him day and
night. One day, in the spring, an emi
grant ship bound for America appeared
at the mouth of the river.
Ola packed together his few traps and
wont up to Oestruo's to say goodby. He
met Birgit in the birch grove behind the
barn. It was the time when the buds
were bursting and the swallows had
just returned.
"Well, Ola, where aro you going?'
she asked, as she saw him coming with
bundle and staff in hand.
"To America."
"America!" she cried. "America!"
Xbo answer seemed to frighten her.
Bhe turned pale and caught hold of a
birch tree for support. He watched her
narrowly.
"What are you going to do in Ameri
ca, Ola?" sho asked softly.
"Change my skin," ho replied, with a
vigor that startled her. "And if 1 come
back within five years with a changed
skin will you promise to wait for me?"
"I promise," sho whispered, weeping
quietly upon his shoulder.
. # * •
Five years from that day a young man
was seen hastening up the hillside to
Oestruo. He had a big slouch hat on
his head and he was well dressed.
His face was strong, und de
termined, his eyes danceu with joy, for
In his pocket he had a royal ma.'riage
license, with which he meant to surprise
somebody up at Oestruo's farm. It was
five years today since he left her, and it
was five years she had promised to wait
for him.
For this hour he hud toiled, saved and
suffered for five long weary years. He
had been a silver miner in Leadville
when the place wns yet new, and he had
sold his claim for $50,000.
As he was hurrying along, an old
woman, who was sitting by the road-
Bide, hailed him.
"Gentlefolks out walking today?" she
said, holding out her hand for n jienny.
"Gentlefolks?" he cried, with a happy
laugh: "Why, Gurid, lam Ola who
usod to herd cattle at Oostruo's dairy."
"You, Ola! who was on tho parish?
Then you must have changed your
skin."
"That was what 1 went to America
for," he answered, laughing.
The church lay half way up the hill
side. There Ola sat down to rest, for
he had walked far and was tired. Pres
ently he heard music up under tho
lodgo of tho forest; tliero was one clar
inet and several fiddles.
A bridal party! Yes, there was the
bride, with a silver crown upon her head
and shining brooches upon her bosom.
The procession came nearer. Now the
master of the ceremonies opened the
church doors wide and went to meet the
bride and groom.
Ola sat still like a rock; but a strange
numbness came over him. As tho party
drew near to the gate of tho churchyard
he arose and stood, tall and grave, in the
middle of the road. Then came Birgit
Oestruo and Tliorger Sletten. She
looked pale and sad, he defiant.
"You didn't expect mo to your wed
ding, Birgit Oestruo?" he said, and
stared hard at her. She gave a scream
the crown fell from her head; she rushed
forward and flung her arms about hi 1 '
neck.
"Now come," he cried, "whoevei
dares, and I'll make a merry bridal."
Jeus Oestruo stepped forward and
spoke. His voice shook with wrath and
the veins swelled upon his brow.
"Here I am," he said. "If you want
tho girl you shall fight for hor."
"Not with you, old man," retorted
Ola; "but with Tliorger I'll fight. Let
him come forward."
The bridal guests made a ring on the
groen and the bridegroom came slowly
forward.
"Hard luck," he said, "to have to fight
for your bride on your wedding day."
Fight? Birgit, who In her happiness
had been blind and deaf, woke up with
a start. She unwound her arms from
Ola's neck and Btepped up between the
two men.
"Oh, do not fight, do not fight!" she
entreated, holding out her hands first to
one claimant and then to tho other.
"You know father, for whom I have
waited for these five years. You know
whom I have loved since I was a child.
But you used force against me and
threats. Now he has come back. I ara
no longer afraid of you."
"Whoever will be my wedding guest
let him follow," shouted Ola, "for 1
have in my hand a royal license to be
married to Birgit, Jeus Oestruo's daugh
ter."
"All that money can buy you shall
have," he added. "I'll mako a wed
ding tho fame of which shall be heard
in seven parishes around."
He took the bride's arm and marched
boldly into the church.
The wedding gucßts looked at Jeus
Oestruo, who was venting his wratli
upon the groom.
"You coward!" he yelled, "you let
the girl be snatched away boforo your
very nose. lam glad enough to bo rid
of such a son-in-law. Come, folks; we'll
have our wedding yet. A girl belongs
to him who can catch her."
With a wrathful Bnort he stalked in
through the o]>en church door, and the
wedding guests slowly followed.—Bos

The Division of Time.
The division of time into hours was
practiced among the Babylonians from
remote antiquity, but it was Hipparchus,
the philosopher, who introduced tho
Babylonian hour iuto Europe. Tho sex
agesimal system of notation was chosen
by that ancient people becauso there is
no number having so many divisions as
sixty. The Babylonians divided the
daily journey of the sun, the ruler of the
day, into twenty-four parasangs. Each
parasang or hour was subdivided into
sixty minutes, and that again into sixt}
seconds. They compared the progress
made by the sun during one hour at the
time of tho equinox to the progress
made by a good walker in the same
period of time, both covering one para
sang, and the course of tho sun during
the full equinoctial day was fixed at
twenty-four parasangs. —London Tit-
Bits.
The Value of the Ruby.
The ruby is valued highest when it
contains the least azure. The largest
ruby that history speaks of belonged to
Elizabeth of Austria, the wife of Charles
IX. It was almost as big us a hen's egg.
The virtues attributed to rubies are to
banish sadness, to repress luxury and to
drivo away annoying thoughts. At the
same time it symbolizes cruelty, anger
and carnage, as well as boldness and
bravery. A change in its color an
nounces a calamity, but when the
troublo is over it regains its primitive
' luster.—Paris Figaro.
A Husband's Signature Yol<l.
A very curious case in which a hus
band executed a will which had been
prepared fur his wife, and the wife exe
cuted a wiU which had been prepared
for her husband, has recently been de
cided by the general term of the supreme
court of this state. John and Jane Nel
son, being husband and wife, wanted to
make wills each in favor of the other,
and employed William Cowie to pre
pare the instrument, which he did in
due form.
The wills were read and placed upon
the table for signature. Each then
Bigned one of the wills, made the re
quisite declaration as to the character
of the instrument and asked the sub
scribing witnesses to sign. After exe
cution the wills were sealed up in an en
velope, which was not opened until after
the husband's death, when it was dis
covered for the first time that each had
by mistake signed the will intended for
the other. The wife brought a suit in
the supreme court to correct her hus
band's mist/ike in signing the wrong
will by re-forming the language of the
will which ho did actually execute, so
as to make it conform to that which he
certainly intended to execute.
Her complaint was dismissed at the
special term, however, and the appellate
branch of the supreme court holds that
the dismissal was right. Mr. Justice
Martin, in the opinion of the general
term, says in substance that there is 110
will to correct, because the husband did
not make any will at all. The instru
ment that 110 executed was his wife's
will, and.of 110 more legal significance
than if it had been a blank piece of pa
per. No precisely similar case is re
ported in this state, but there are Eng
lish and Pennsylvania decisions in point
adverse to the position of the wife.—Al
bany Argus.
Defying Superstition.
Thirteen Philadelphia young men have
banded themselves together, if rumors
are true, in what timid superstitious ones
will call a suicide club. This Club of
Thirteen, as its name hints, has been or
ganized in contempt of almost all known
popular superstitions. The club meet
ings occur 011 Friday evenings, and
011 the 13th of the month, in room 13
of a house numbered 18. The fiery
headed member is the first to enter the
hall, and all pass under a ladder raised
in the room. 011 taking his seat the
president opens an umbrella handed him
by the cross eyed janitor, and sits under
it during the session. The sorgeant-at
arms opens the proceedings by breaking
a looking glass.
A skeleton sits opposite the president
at all feasts and two black cats stalk
around the room. The walls are adorned
writh peacock feathers. Every member
is under solemn oath always to spill salt,
look at the moon over his left shoulder,
stumble whenever alighting from a jour
ney, walk between couples on the street
and when together pass on either side of
a post. They aro eager just now to pur
chase a raven and rent a haunted house
to hold their meetings in.—Philadelphia
Record.
A Thief in Disguise.
A miner operating 011 Sabe creek,ldaho,
for some time past has missed a great
deal of amalgam from his sluice boxes.
He determined to keep watch for the
thief, and several nights ago he saw a
calf nibbling grass near the boxes, often
reaching over the rim and drinking the
water that flowed over the riffier. He,
however, paid no attention to the ani
mal. The theft of amalgam still con
tinued, and a few nights ago, when the
calf appeared, he shot it. He ran to
where the calf was lying and saw a hu
man leg, w T ith the foot wrapped in sacks,
protruding from the animal's stomach.
It took him but a second to realize that
he had shot the thief, who had been
cleverly disguised as a calf. The miner
took the culprit to camp, and, much to
his surprise, he discovered that the thief
was a young woman.—Exchange.
Air Prt'HNure at the Cannon's Mouth.
Experiments were made during the
last trial trip of the armed cruiser Beo
wulf to determine the air pressure at
the mouth of a gun at the moment of
discharge. Rabbits were placed near
the muzzles of the guns and shots fired.
In every case the animals fell dead at
once. In order to test the probable ef
fects of the enormous displacement of
air upon human beings figures made of
straw were used. These were torn to
pieces in every instance. The trials
were made with long l>ored 24-conti
meter ring guns.—Berlin Cor. London

CxhuiiHt Pipes for Oil Tanks.
Judging from the reports from the
oil regions, few of the tanks have pipes
at the bottom of the great receptacles
so arranged that the oil can be drained
out of a burning tank from below, thus
reducing the loss from fire to a mini
mum. The great fires at the Point
Breeze roflneries brought about that ro
form in our local oil works, and it has
provod of great service ever since it was
put in operation.—Philadelphia Press.
A Mighty Feast.
At Pischhausen, in Germany, a wed
ding feast of Homeric proportions re
cently took place. The 108 guests got
through one ox, three pigs, four calves,
eighteen chickens, ten geese, and ducks
and pigeons in proportion. Four hogs
heads of beer, forty quarts of rum and
fifty of other liquids served to wash
down the solids. The shade of Gargan
tus should rejoice at this noble feat.—

MISS MORGAN AND JOURNALISM.
A New York Writer Fays to Woman a
Worthy and lleHpcctful Tribute.
And now a word for Miss Midy Mor
gan.
There were women writers on the
press when she came here, but not many.
I met her in 1869 or 1870. We discussed
tlio question of women in journalism at
some length. My own experience in
that direction had been peculiarly happy
Upon the staff of the New York Star
the best writer on labor matters was
Mrs. Hanah McL. Shephard, vho subse
quently became the wife of an erratic
genius named Wolf. She wrote for us
a series of articles on labor and capital
which attracted the attention of James
Gordon Bennett, who took tlio unusual
j step of ascertaining who the individual
was who could so aptly and ably handle
that tremendous question. Mrs. Ual-
I houn, I think, at that time was writing
on The Tribune. We had not, however,
tlio multiplicity of women, many of
whom are the merests chits of girls, in
the employ of newspapers. Some of
these young women today do excellent
work.
I think of the names of at least a
dozen who are quite the peers of many
of their masculine companions, and
whose work in some respects is as good
as any that has ever appeared in any of
the New York journals. When Miss
Morgan came it was different, and as
she found pleasure in writing upon a
subject which no other woman had ever
touched here, there was added to her
unique personality an element of sen
sationalism which made her a very
much talked of individual.
) Breeders of horses throughout the
country, as indeed throughout the civil
ized world, knew her well by sight;
many of them had the honor of her per
i sonal acquaintance, and all read her
writings with respect. The ordinary
I reader, however, probably never saw
her. She was quite six feet tall, notice
ably spare in figure, with very long
arms and very long logs. She dressed
queerly. I never saw her without an
' umbrella in her hand and a package of
j papers under her arm. She was indns
'■ trious, reliable, intelligent and porfect
j ly conversant with the details of her
I specialty. Her death came to me as a
great surprise. It is but a few weeks
since I had quite a talk with her, and
she seemed then as bright and as cheery
as ever. 1 am glad to know that the
good woman saved some of her hard
earned money, and I should be better
pleased if I could also know that she
j had spent it freely upon her own per-
I sonal comfort and convenience. But
the thought suggested by the report of
Miss Morgan's death is that during her
twenty-two years of experience here she
l saw a wonderful revolution in respect of
| women at work.
' The difficulty encountered by woman
writers is, first, the selfishness of man.
I will givo you a brief illustration,
j Some years ago a piece of work was
done which attracted the attention of
every newspaper in the city, subse
j queutly in the country, and later on in
! the world. If that work hod been done
I by me, the paper would have cheerfully
| paid all my expenses and $3,500 with
j thanks. As it was, having been done
by a woman, it was with great difficulty
she obtained SBOO and the barest recog
nition possible. In some newspaper of
fices women are employed as solicitors
of advertising, coupled with the duties
of "writing up" the advertising estab
lishment. My own judgment is that
that is not good policy, and my advice
to women writers is that they look at
the world precisely as their brothers of
the quill look at it.
The tendency of our fashion writers
and our society gossips is to gush, to
flatter, to beslather with fulsome praise,
which is often a source of great annoy
ance to the party written about, and
provocative of a sniff of contempt from
the reader. There is no earthly reason
why the women who have to pay taxes
and bear their share of the civic burden
shouldn't have the right to determine
who shall be the ruler, Who shall bo the
J servant, precisely as the men have it.
Common sense comes into all matters
and regulates in the ultimate everything
and everybody.
Women as doctors for other women,
as nurses, as matrons, women as tele
graphers, stenographers, clerks, women,
in other words, for whatever they can
physically do, ought to bo welcomed, and
are welcomed by men of sense and under
standing. If we can put the ballot into
tho hand of a man who can neither read
nor speak tho English lunguago, if we can
, intrust that high duty to a foreign born
individual after he has been in this conn-
I try seven years, I think we would make
I no mistake in intrusting it to a bright,
quick witted American girl after slie has
had an experience of twenty-one years.
It was Miss Morgan's privilege to see
her sex advance many steps upon the
ladder of improvement upon the social
scale, and to find hundreds of them lit
erally in the paths which, when she be
gan, she trod almost alone.—Joseph
Howard in New York Recorder.
Two WUJH of Preventing Moths.
Moths are a pest of New York and
Brooklyn houses; eternal vigilance is the
price of safety from them, and sometimes
that is not enough. Two women recent
ly discussing moth preventives or pro
j tectors found safety in different moth
; ods. One parked her winter clothing,
after thoroughly airing and looking over,
in clean barrels, whose crevices, if nny,
[ she carefully pasted over with newspa
[ pers; when the barrel was filled a news
[ paper was securely pasted over the top,
j and the parcel was moth proof.
| The second used old trunks, with any
broken places carefully protected with
newspapers, and sprinkled naphtha over
each gurment as it was laid in, finishing
j with a layer of newspaper at the top
well doused with the naphtha. Each
had "never had a thing eaten by moths."
The naphtha advocate urged caution in
its use. No match or light must be
brought near while the sprinkling proc
ess is going on nor until the place lias
j been well aired.—Her Point of View in
New York Times.
