Moon Madness.

The popular belief that the moon S
rays will cause madness in any person
who sleeps exposed to them has long
been felt to be absurd. and vet il has
appeared to have its source in I'M
doubted facts. Some deleterious in

perstitiOn TO which the well-to-do pay
more attention. Windows are often
carefully covered to keep the moon
beams from entering sleeping-rooms
\ gentleman living in India furnishes
Nature with an explanation Of
this phenomenon which is at least
plausible. He says: at has often
been observed that when the moon is
full. or near its full time, there are
rarely any clouds about; and If there
be clouds before the full moon rises,
they are soon dlSSipated; and there

should climb over or let down the
bars. He settled it by crawling under.
Then he disappeared in little ravine.
Presently he came in sight again, toll
ing slowly up the side of steep hill.
Ever and anon he paused for breath.
Guess he's going over the hill to
the poor-house, said one of the
stable boys. At length he was hidden
by the brow of the hill.
Here twenty-five minutes elapsed, to
give him what the hunters called "a
decent start. 1t was trifle foggy,
and any doctor Will tell you it's
dangerous to go out Of mornings with
out something on the stomach. There
was a gurgling and popping and
Sizing, and hygiene was satisfied.
."Time's up" cries the master of
the chase.
Mr.. John j. Hughes had been APP
pointed to take the lead. He had one
hundred and twenty hounds. He freed
them, and away they went, over the
fences, through the ravine, over the
hill, and Mr.. Hughes after them as
fast as his blooded horse could carry
him. Then the other hunters started.
There were about three hundred Of
them, and the dogs were beyond all
counting. Away they all went, like
mad.
In exactly eight minutes from the
time of starting. the dogs stopped and
began to paw the ground. Not dog
would go another step. The melan-
choly fact was only too plain-the fox
had found one of his haunts, and was
lost to sight, though to memory still
SO dear. TO pursue him further would
be folly, and the noble hunters knew
it, so they gave him ZIP and started for
the Valley Hills, in the hope OF start
ing another victim. 1t was high noon
when they got under way, and now,
mail, they are just in sight, galloplng
along the south hill, still hunting.
| Nothing could have been more sue
cessful. They started out for hunt,
and they've been hunting all day.
A single sad feature has somewhat
married the otherwise unbroken pleas

were flying Ger hill and dale, and the
dogs were thirstinx for gore. the fox,
all unconscious, was picking over

has and always will be dear to the

world began, men have striven by

from the fair sex. Nor has the desire
