A Seaside Episode.

Philadelphia Times.
Last week. at Ocean Grove, O lady from thu
rural districts tshe must have been from tbs
rural districts to do such a foolish thingl. Just
before going 10 bathing, handed ND her pocket
book to pleasantfaced lady, an utter stranger
to her, however, who was sitting on the froni
row of seats at Ross pavilion. Her idea, ne
doubt, was that it would be perfectly safe, "a
she would have its custodian in view from the
water where she was bathing. The lady who re
ceived the pocket book, which was big and heavy
was SO frustrated by having it thrust into heI
hands that, while watching the owner she let ii
high tide and flowing under the outer edge of the
pavilion Her confusion was great, though sew
eral persons saw it drop, and the owner, who was
sooI informed was In great distress. Several days
elapsed, during which the lady who dropped the
pocket book had gone home sick and its owner
was awaiting funds from friends to pay her
board, when one morning. feeling rather badly
she concluded she would go into the ocean and
take one final bath to refresh Der, though che
recollections of her last bath were painful She
was holding the rope when a rather heavy
breaker threw her over, and in trying TO get up
and regain her position her hand clutched some
thing which yielded in a manner spongy that
she was thrilled through With fear. What was
her surprise. however to find in her band her
own pocket book, which, upon wading ashore, she
found with its contents intact. In it were notes
and several gold coins and few silver dollars,
making over $40 in all, and there was not a coin
missing Strange to say, though the pocket book
was only fastened with an ordinary clasp, tho
coin and everything was untouched and hardly
wet. She went home with happy heart full of
the praises of the downright and unquestionablo
honesty of the Atlantic ocean.

has always been popularity called the harvest
moon. The moon has now completed half of
the phases which it passes through between the
successive appearances of new moon and new
moon. At this particular period of each year
the moons orbit makes its smallest angle with
the line of our horizon AS consequence, the
intervals between the time at which it rises on
consecutive evenings are fonnd TO be shorter
than in any other of the twelve months To
those unaccustomed to close and intelligent OBJ
servation of celestial phenomena. the full moon
In September would some years appear to rise at
nearly the same hour each successive night for
almost week. If the hours of it's appearance
on consecutive nights are carefully noted, how
ever, it will be to rise later and later each
night by well-defned though not constant inter
walls.
around the earth, which it completes every
twenty-n days, forms an angle with the path
traverSed by the earth around the SUM- COM
pleted every year. and also with our horizon. If
a luminous line were drawn across the firma-
ment representing the earth's orbit and another
representing the earths horizon it would be
found that the two form smaller angle at one
time in the year than they do at the other six
months later or six months earlier, as the case
may be. The earth and moon are near the
former or smaller angle in September
each year. and near the latter angle
in March. The full moon in September
in our latitude rises later. each successive
night by an interval ranging from about twelve
minutes to a little over half an hour being de-
pendent on the moons distance from the earth

on consecutive nights by an interval ranging
from about an hour and ten minutes to an hour
and half. This September the difference IN
the moons rising will be at about its maximum,
or half an hour
The simple aericulturist of the early ages in
England believed that the rising of the moon in
August and September for several nights in sue
cesslon about the time the sun had set was q
oenehcient provision of Providence to give them
llgne TO continue their labors without interrupt
ton into the night Hence the moon which is
fuii IN September came to be called the harvest
moon 1t has given theme to innumerable
poets both in ENGLAND and the United States
Science has robbed the September moon OF
much of its sentiment, and has shown that it
moves in obedience to laws imposed upon earth
and moon ages before the human race was crea
TED. 1t still continues, however, to be the most
charming feature of the early autumn evenings,
as It completely bridges for several successive
nights the interval between the setting of the
sun and the subsequent rising OF the same.

Tho thou dost frown, o friend of mine,
My heart doth still refuse to pine,
Still do know that skies are fair
Still breathe the joy of summer air
And drink thy health in life's sweet wine.
Aye, while thy sun hath ceased to shine
A charm have with power divine:
So lift the darkest clouds of care
Tho thou dost frown.
For Hope hath made me cheering sign.
And bids me all my fears resign;
She paints the smile thou yet shalt wear,
And tells of peace we yet shall share
So doth my heart refuse to pine.

completes the lining required with an
ordinary old mans face. Different old
man characters must, of course, be given
different expressions about the mouth,
and these are made with lines to suit
the expressions. To make himself look
as if he was a couple of weeks without
a shave, is the simplest thing imagin-
able. All he has to do is to burn q
newspaper and rub the ashes where
the barber puts the lather, and he will
have strong, two weeks old black
beard. He can tone that down by rub
bling in ground chalk.
ITO make the arms thin, a line OF
brown or green grease paint run along
the veins will make fat, round arm
look like that of q shriveled old woman.
For a'young man or hero character the
same ground work is laid on; vermil-
lion or rouge is applied to the lips and
cheeks with hare's foot. The eye
brows are blackened with India ink,
and thin line is drawn on the under
eyelid, extending from the inner cor
ner of the eye to a little beyond the
outer corner and right under the hair
line of the lash. In backing the eye
brows the ladies frequently use the
SCOT of gas smoke, collected by holding
a piece of glass over the burner. 1t
is one of the best cOlors and the least
harmful.
'.For snub nose small line drawn
over the nose and another drawn under
the point of the same organ will give il
beautiful snub. but if he is the unfor-
tunate possessor of natural snub he
can't take it off with all the lines he
can draw. He has to build it out with
putty or dough. An actor can not en-
large his mouth nor diminish the size
of his ears with paint.
''To take off the grease paints cocoa
butter is generally used. 1t is applied
over the paints, and the whole mass
rubbed off with dry towel, after
which the face is washed with water.
False noses of paper are seldom worn
any more. Dough, putty and cotton,
shaped and made as the wearer wills,
is the rule nowadays. Holiowness of
the face is made by rubbing paper
ashes on the checks. and the eyes are
sunken by putting red paint on the
upper eyelids.
"Burnt-cork artists have the easiest
makeup used on the stage. All they
have to do is to get few cOrks, burn
them completely, grind them fine to re-
move the grit and apply damp. They
paint their lips with rouge and they en-
large their mouths by rubbing off the
cork about half inch on each side.
They seldom moisten the cork with
any thing except water. as grease and
things like that would make the cork
stick into the skin. Grease paints and
cork never hurt the skin if properly APP
piled. "-Piladclphia Meas.
