Home. Sweet Home.

The western farmer, with his hun
drods of acres of new and fertile soil,
looks with contempt upon the soil and
often sterile farms that are to be found
in some parts Of New England.
The owner of the western farm of 800
acres, neatly all OF it under cultivation,
who was visiting in Maine, sent a let
ter home, in which he expressed his
mind freely AS follows:
Here in this country they call two
acres of ground, six hens and an old
rooster a farm, and half the time one
acre of the ground is graveyard. Give
me old Kansas every time YOUTHS

Noon Fables and SuperstNions,

A maiden was accustomed to spin
late Saturday in the moonlight. At
one time the on the eve Of Sun
day drew her up to itself and now she
sits in the moon and spins and spins.
And now, when the "gossamer days"
set in late in the summer, the white
threads float around in the air. These
threads are the spinning of the lunar
spinner.
The 0 is especially a ghostly
avenger Of human arrogances, and has
its humors, according to which things
60 well or i'll with it. In its increase
It has especial force and a certain good
will for the earth and its inhabitants,
while In its decrease it is friendly to no
one. The good woman must not do
any sewing in the decrease Of the
moon, for the stitches will not hold
farming-tools must not he left in field,
because, 1t is believed, crops will not
again thrive there. II m unbaptized
child is exposed to the moonlight it
will lose its luck for it's whole life. II
one points at the moon with the finger
he will suffer from swelling around the
nail, and whoever splits at the moon
will lose all his teeth. These beliefs,
too, are international. The same ia the
case with the religious notions about
the new moon. Sorceries Of every
kind, to be successful, must be per-
formed on Sunday night Of the new
moon. The hair must be cut only in
in the increase Of the moon, otherwise
there is danger Of getting headache.
II n person returning home in the eve
ming g g the full moon he ought to
take some money out Of his purse and
utter an incarnation that will make it
increase a hundred times during the
month. The moo is also supposed to
have an influence over animals and
plants. Popular Science Monthly.

the somewhat stiff and heavy rubber.
When they are used continuously two
