Eclipse of the Moon.

The June moon fulls on the l2th, and
gives US the rare treat OF total lunar
eclipse. No celestial phenomena is
easier to understand. The earth passes
between the sun and moon and obscures
his light.-lt can only occur at the time
of full moon, and there would ba total
eclipse OF the moon every month II the
suns path and the moons path were on
the same plane or level. But the moons
orbit is inclined to the ecliptic about five
degrees; therefore the moon must be at
her node or crossing point at the time
of full moon in order to he totally eclips-
ed. She is, however, much oftener far
enough from her node to be above or
below the earth's shadow when there is
no eclipse, or she may be near enough
TO her node to pass through portion OF
the earth's shadow when she is partially
eclipsed. But on the morning oil the
18th the conditions are favorable for a
grand exhibition of the darkenlng power
OF the earth's shadow. Tie moon Is full,
she is at her node, she is in per;gee, or
at her nearest point to the earth, and
she will pass centrally through the
earth's shodow. The eclipse begins
that is, the dark shadow enters upon
the moon-at rs minutes after midnight.
The total phase commences at / hour %

The eclipse ends at hours 81 minutes.
On the 2lst the moon is in conjunction

morning OF the 2lst and 2 O'Clock in the
afternoon OF the 22l the moon is in con.
jdnction with tive planets, Mars, Saturn,
Neptune, Jupiter and Venus.

No Horseshoes.

Horses and Reads, pp. l2a, i2i.
In November, 1873, a correspondent
wrote in a contemporary:
"The argument against horseshoes
seemed to me so strong, and the con-
yenience OF doing without them so great,
that / resolved to try the experiment.
Accordingly, when my pony's shoes
were worn ont, / had them removed,
and gave him a months rest at grass,
with an occasional drive OF mile or
two on the high road while his hoofs
were hardening. The result, at first,
seemed doubtful. The hoof was a thin
shell, and kept chipping away, until 1t
had worn down below the holes OF the
nails by which the shoes had been
fastened. After this the hoof grew
thick and hard, quite unlike what il
had been before now put the pony
to full work, and he stands it well. DE
is more sure footed; his tread is almost
nOiseless; and his hoofs are IN no dan
ger from the rough hands OF the iarrier;
and the change altogt ther has been a
clear gain, without anything 10 set of
against it. The pony Was between four
and five years old. aud had been regu-
larly shod up to the present year. He
now goes better without shoes than he
ever did with them; and W thout shoes
he will continue 10 20 as long as he re-

even more impresNvely.
There was an awkward silence OF
several minutes between them, and the
traveller went back to bis seat with O dis
couraged expression. Presently he came
forward and approached the tall, thin
passenger.
"Sir." me said, "did you know they
were taking up a collection for his
family?"
81 should pause to hesitate" said the
tall, thin passenger. Il headed the list
with a $40 note myself.
The smart travellers countenance
dropped, but he spoke still hopefully:
"Ah, you heard OF the sad circum-
stance, tnen =,
"Heard OF it," exclaimed the tall, thin
passenger. 81 was mixed up in 1t all
the way through"
The smart traveller sighed and once
more resumed his seat. His face bright
ened up after a while, and he came TO
the front once more, laying his band
softly on the arm OF the sad passenger.
"Sir," he said, "did you knew the
train run over man at the last station
"He was my only brother, said the
sad passenger in hushed murmur. And
then he bent his head forward and cover
ed his face with his hands.
The smart traveller looked really dis.

in last determined effort he approach
ed the man on the wood box. Assum-
ing an expression OF the most intense
horror. he said:
"Pitiful heavens, am faint with fear
and horror yet! Did you know the
train struck a man on that bridge and
tore MIN TO pieces"
The man on the wood box leaned for
ward, shaded his mouth with his hand,
and said, in a thrilling whisper, that
went kissing down the car:

the man." 1t seemed to be about time
to close the lodge.-BwIington Haukeye.
