What Is the Natter With the Moon {?

Professor Heilbroun, the well known
selenographer, has givon it 70 be under
stood that of late he has detected
marked change in the appearance of
the moon, which ia wholly unaccount-
able upon tho established theory that
"Luna tacita" is a wholly dead and
silent world. Our readers are aware
that it has been considered an establish
Ell truth that the moon long ago reached
that utter lifelessness to which, In turn,
our own planet will come, and that not
only have air and water disappeared
from 1t, but all force except that OF
gravity has departed from it. Its face,
beautiful as 1t appears in the evening
heavens, Is really a record Of past woes
and throbbings, and the scars of vol
canic action which appear thereon are
Its mountains and it's abrupt and pre-.
cipitous declivities. According to Pro-
fessor Heilbroun, our SATELLITE is not so
dead as it has seemed, for assures never
before noticed have appeared on Its
surface, and there are indications OF
some very interesting and perhaps i'm
portant changes in the "dead planets
which at any time may become actual
ities-with what possible effect upor
the earth we know wnot.-Astrnn0miche

TWO MEETINGS.

Alb. twas q glorious autumn night,
Full fifteen years ago,
The moon and stars we're shining bright
Bathing the hills in mystic light,
When, robed in garb OF snowy white,
My Ethel met me In the hall,
Responsive to my pleading call.
Now, what did I or what did she
The world shall never know:
Not cen the moon or stars could s"";
OF all tho world most happy wo;
Oh, twas an hour of ecstasy;
We pledged our loves and lives and all,
When Ethel met me I'm the hall.
All, well-we met again last night
PTwas rather late, trow y
Somehow, I din't feel just right,
II may have been little tight3
When, clad in mighty robe OF white.
MY Ethel met me in the hall
And braced me up against the wall.
Now, what did or what did she
Pm not prepared to show;
It NAV suffice to state that we
Had quite a little jubilee.
And may add 'twixt you and me,)
It is with pain that recall
How Ethel met me in the hall.

ANEcDoTE OF JUDGE STORY.

The following anecdote about the ia
NOUS jurist Story is In private circula-
ton, but Is good enough for the public
eye. 1t was prepared for Story's biog-
raphy by his son, but Charles Sumner,
who edited the work, struck 1t out. The
narrative runs like this: In his young
er days Story lived In the aristocratic
old town of Salem, in Massachusetts.
His great ability was not then temper
ed by as much wisdom as he afterward
displayed, and he was looked upon
with disfavor by some of the old FAM
lilies. One day Mrs. A. called upon Mrs.
B., and in the course of their CONVEX
sation-there being a aseams:ress present
Mrs. A. asked Mrs. B. If her iaugh.
ter was going to the party that even
ing.
"No," was the short reply; 81 don't
propose to let my daughter 60 TO any
place which Is frequented by that I'm
significant young puppy, Story"
Years afterward, when Story was a
Judge on the Supreme Bench, he Wis.
tied Salem, and was warmly welcomed
by those who had known him former
ly. Among his best friends was Mrs.
B., and he accepted her pressing invi-
tation to dinner. Now, In the years
which had elapsed, tho seamstress had
become possessed of home of her
own, to which was attached a garden,
with a pear tree, which was just then
loaded with fine fruit. After the invi.
tation to dinner had been accepted the
seamstress received q cali from Mr. b..
servant, asking her to send up baske
of her excellent pears for dinner, a.
"Mr. Justice Story, of the Supreme
Court of the United States, was to b,
present."
The good natured seamstress sent tn,
pears at once, and will, this message:

Story, has grown to he so fine dog

mum besides eXtravagant mileage to
each member of Congress and delegate.
Itallows them to send all public docu-

them 1925 for each session to be used
for stationery and postage. Many Of
the senators and members pocket the

Others possibly pay more in postage
than the Government gives them, but
this is not a reason for restoring the

lied the Democracy, and he manifested
In q great public crisis his own inevita-
BILE determination to maintain the ter
ritorial integrity OF our country aud the
tndissoluble union of the States; he
likewise represented the benefcent
Jefiersonian philosophy which prefers
that nothing shall be done by the Gen.
eral Government which the local au-
thorities are competent to do, and moth
ing by any governmental power which
Individuals can do for themselves. The
great contest of his administration
arose out of his efforts to resist usurpa-
tion by Congress of powers In deroga-
ton of the rights of localities and indI-
vlduals, as well rs the Constitution. I
well remember that In a debate In 1882,
on the veto of the bill to recharter the
Bank of the United States, Mr.. Web
ster, with all his eloquence, denounced
and deplored the spectacle of the Ex-
ecutive claiming the power and dis
mantifng the Government of which he
was tho head. The over-growth OF
abuses and arrogatfon of authority
which now conceal, as they have dis
sorted, our political system, would have
seemed fifty years ago, when the de-
bate occurred, as incredible to Webster
as they would bet to jackson. The Gov.
ernment can never be restored aud he.

the active, intelligent agency of the
Executive. We must hope Providence
will in Its own good time raise up {
man adapted and qualified for tho wis,
