The outlook In New Hampshire Is en-
couraging. The Manchester Union de-
clares that rs the work Of holding conven-

evident that the Democrats are making no
biunders this year, and adds:
"In New Hampshire this Is true to re-
maj kable degree, and the line Is being
strengthened daily by additions from the
very best men within the party. The
ticket, when completed, will be one OF the
eiesnes st and strongest ever placed before

THE HARVEST Mooy-WHAT IL IT!-
This question is asked us. and at the first
blush Of it the reply appeared simple
enough, but we found ourselves In the
condition of kno,oing and not kno,cing,
and this NAV be the case with large
majority OF people. A little investigation
put us all straight, and the reply /, now
given 1t is thus called because 1t is an
Irregular lunatiOn which occurs each year
early in September, about the time OF the
English harvest. II Is the nearest full
neon to the equinox. and by reason OF the
small angle which. at this time, is made Nv
the ecliptic and the moons orbit with
the horizon, il rises for several consecutive
days very soon after sunset. More con-
tinuous light from the moon Is therefore
given at this precise period Of the year
than at sny other. The harvest moon
appeared this year on 9th September on It's

but about thirty minutes difference In time
