Lunar Fancie&.

DIR. Rink relates a curious tradition of the
| Esquimaux, which we can hardly quote here,
| but the gist of it is that a. man who desired
| to make his sister his wife was transformed
| into the moon, while the woman became the
| sun. Something like the same legend has
been traced far south as Panama. An
other notable thing about Esquimaux tradi-
tions is that the moon is associated with fer
tility in women. This superstition is both
very ancient and very widespread, and in
deed seems to have been the root of the
moon worship of the Oriental nations and of
the mys' erious rites of the Egyptians
ferred to by Herodotus. Luna is identified
by some mythologists with Soma of the In
dian mythology. g. the emblem of repro
duction. In China, according to Dr. Dem
nys, the man in the moon is called Tue-lao
and is believed to hold in his hands the pow
ers of predestining marriages. He is sup
posed to tie together the future husband and
wife with invisible silken cord which new
parts while life lasts. Miss Gordon Cum
ming, in her recent account of wanderings in
China, relates that in the neighborhood of
Foo-Choo she witnessed a great festival be-
ing held in honor of the full moon, which
was mainly attended by women. There was
Temple play or sing song going on all day
and most of the night, and each woman car
ried a stool so that she might sit out the
whole performance. This reminds Us of
what Mr.. Riley states in the ''Book of Days"
as related by John Audrey in the seventeenth
century: 'In Scotland, especially among
the Highlanders, the women make courte-
sy to the new moon and our Englishwomen
in this country have touch of this, some of
them sitting astride gate or stile the
first evening the new moon appears and say
ing, "A fine moon! God bless herI The
like I observed in Herefordshire'

syneps4s of Business Principles.


It is as easy to be rich man as a poor one
Half the energy displayed in keeping ahead
that is required to catch up when behind
would save credit, give more time to attend
to business and add to the profit and reputa-
ton of those who work for gain. Honor
your engagement. If you promise to meet a
man or to do certain thing at certain mo-
| ment be ready at the appointed time. If
you go on business attend promptly to mat
ters on hand, then as promptly go about
your own business. Do not stop to tell sto-
ries in business hours
il you have place of business be found
there when wanted. No man can get rich
by sitting around stores Never ''fool'' on
business matters. Have order, system, reg
ularity, iberality, promptness. Do not
meddle with business you know nothing of.
Never buy an article you do not need simply
because it is cheap and the man who sells it
will take it out in trade. Trade is money
Strive to avoid harsh words and personali-
ties. Do not kick every stone in the path;
more miles can be made in a day by going
steadily on than by stopping to kick. Pay
as you go. A man of honor respects his
word as he does his bond. Aid but never
beg. Help others when you can, but never
give what you cannot afford to simply be-
cause it is fashionable Learn to say ''no." "
No necessity for swapping it out in dog fash
ion, but say it firmly and respectfully. Have
but few confidants and the fewer the better
Use your own brains rather than those of
Others Learn to think and act for yourself
Be vigilant. Keep ahead rather than behind
the time.
Young man, cut this out and if there be
folly in the argument let US know.
