HE MOONS ROTATION.
Present Cond ition of the Movements OF
the Earth and Her NeighbOr.

Present COnd itiOn of the Movements OF
the Earth and Her NeighbCr.
Those who look upon the moon night
after night and year after year see no
change in the face she presents. The
- Man in the Moon " is always the same.
Stern and immovable, he looks upon the
earth as he has done for ages past, and as
he win do for ages to come.
The reason for this Interchangeable aspect
is that We see only one side of the moon;
and the reason why we see but one side of
the moon is thai, while she makes one
revolution round the earth, she turns once
on her axis The moons day or period
of rotation is, therefore, the same IS her
revolution, about twenty-seyen days.
This is the present condition of affairs in
regard to the earth and moon The earth
turns on her axis once IN tWenty-four
hours. The moon turns on her axis once
in twenty seven days. If there are in
habitants on the eide of the moon turned
toward us, they can see, at different times,
every part OF the earth's surface.
She shines in their sky a glorious orb,
thirteen times as large as the moon in our
sky. and exhibits similar phases; while her
surface is marked with spots shaped like
the continents and islands SO familiar to
our eyes on terrestrial maps.
The conditions prevailing in the earth
moon system have greatly changed in the
lapse of ages, and will greatly change in
ages TO come. LoDg ago, when the
moon was young, and her fires first
burned, she may have rotated on her axis In
three or four hours. The earth then raised
enormous tides upon her plastic surface.
Tides act as brakes retarding aXial rotation,
and by this means the moons time of rota-
ton has gradually increased until. it has
reached its present length of twenty seven
days.
The earth, too in her primeval condition
turned on her axis much more rapidly than
at present. The moon raises tides upon the
| earth and these in their turn have reduced
the velocity OF her rotation until our day is
now twenty-four hours long.
As time rolls on the earth viii revolve On
its axis more and more slowly, until after
the lapse of millions Of years, the earth's
day and the moons day viii be equal
When that time comes. the earth viii pre-
sent always the same side to the moon, and
jewellers on the other side will never see
the moon, unless they make a journey for
the purpose.
The hands on the dial plate of time move
| slowly. but none the less surely. To-day is
longer than yesterday although the differ
/ ence is so infnitesimal that the most
/ accurate mathernaticians have been unable
| to measure it
| In fact, the period of the earth's rotation
| has not varied one hundredth of a second
/ in two thousand years. But when two
/ thousand times two thousand years shaf
/ have passed the change win be not only per-
/ ceptible but considerable. Youths Com

THE AMERICAN DRUMMER.
An Eloquent Newspaper Tribute to THIS
Prince OF Intinerants.

An Eloquent Newspaper Tribute to That
Prince OF Intinerants.
The merchant has his store, the man
ufacturer his shop and tho professional
man his office; when the work of the
day is done, they go to their homes,
where blue devils arc exercised by the
joys of the fireside, and there is n relax
alton Of business cares in the pleasure
Of society. But the drummer has the
wide, wide world for his field of action,
and his energy and nerve for his stock
in trade. His days are spent in labor
and his nights in toll. He travels while
other men sleep; recollectiOns Of homo
must be crushed out Of him and the ten
derest part OF his nature must be sub.
dued. For who could sell goods when,
in fond memory, he heard tho voices OF
his children mingled with tho strife of
tradeP lie must keep his hoart locked
tightly while no handles the keys OF
commerce. And yet, he has pleasures,
too. When for n time his work is ovor,
who so we'll understands tho secret OF
taking mine ease in mine inn" Ho is
MS much at home in a caboOse of a
freight train as in a palace car. When
he enters a train, his familiarity with
his surroundings, is so apparent that he
might easily be mistaken for the pres
ident of the road. His practical eye al
n glance selects n cosy scat, and he is
ensconcod therein and taking his daily
lesson in human nature from his travel
ing companions before they have begun
to be settle. The bell rings the throt-
tie valve is opened, and tho train moves
in:o the country. Now, who can know
tho joy he feels as he glories in the
Wow of tho landscape, whilo the hills
and valleys, the streams and Tivers and
the woodlands and meadows in PIANO,
ramic beauty glido away behind him.
Then here's 10 the drummer, that
prince OF itinerants. Speak kind
word for him when you can, and when
his last trip is over may he enjoy, in his
old age, the peace and quiet of domestic
life which was denied him in his earlier
manhood. Shoe and Leather Record.

A NaturaI-Born Almanac

Brown County has prodigy in the shape
of year-old boy withya talent for days
and dates Roy Odenweller, son of Mr.. s.
P. Odenweller, of Industry township, is
the infant wonder. Give him any date in
any month of this year, last year, or next
year, and he can at once tell you the day
of the week upon which it falls or has
fallen For example, ask him on what day
of the week the 18th OF October, 1889, will
fall, and he will promptly answer Thurs
day" which is correct And SO of any date
of last year or the year to come. How he
arrives at tho solution he does not know.
Numerous gentlemen of undoubted YER
acity have repeatedly tested his strange
power. The little fellow is a bright young
ster, but does not exhibit any unusual pre-
cocity beyond that peculiar gift He says
that beyond the three years-the current
the last and the next he can not give COZ
rect answers. Next year he will lose all
power over 1855, with which he is now
coversant, and his mind VIII grasp that oil
1891, of which he now knows nothing. He
has no rule or method, nor does he know
how he arrives at tho true answer; but il
certain that he is correct when answering

HOME MANAGEMENT.
Refnement Can Not Go with sordIdness
and VwTfnaaa


and Ugliness.
Next to domestic cookery stands
household management 1t would be
hard to say which is entitled to the pre-
cedence. There are houses kept to a
nicely, in which the cooking is execra-
BILE. There are others where good cook
Ing is the one thing that makes them
endurable. But all good things should
be happily combined, if a really model
home is sought.
Somebody manages the domestic af-
fairs Of almost every house. Occasion
ally it is the man OF the house; some
times il is his mother or his wife's
mother. Often it is the cook. There
are houses where the rightful heads arc
not heads, but leave every thing to chill
dren, or, worse-to chance; affairs go
as log goes down stream. Alas for
those who dwell in such a house and
call it home.
Executive ability is in great part a
natural endowment. Some are born to
rule-cOmmand is natural and easy for
them-they can organize and execute;
but the rarest genius in this art will be
better for practice-experienc will
prove their natural aptitude, and they
will gather valuable lessons from TIE
experience OF others. The old maxim,
prove nil things, hold fast that which
is good" may we'll DO sounded in the
ears of all hOusekeepers. The best
housekeepers have reached their proud
eminence by this wise course.
As housewives press Oh to higher and
still higher attachments, let the words
OF one OF the noblest of their company
Mrs. Sigourney-inspire them. She
says; The strength of a nation, espec-
tally OF a republican nation, is in tho
intelligent and well-ordered homes of
the people,"
A home should be a cheerful, happy
habitation, to which the absent men,
bers Of a family may look with love,
and to which the wanderer will always
return with joy.
1t must be not only clean and whole
some, but also beautiful. Refinement
can not go with sordidness and ugli.
ness Every place of abode needs the
refining touch and elevating influences
OF decorations; these may cost from q
few cents to many thousand dollars
More depends on the taste and ingen.
uity displayed than tho amount Of
money invested. Tho most barron sur
roundings may be converted into per
feet Eden, with far less expense than is
generally supposed. -Woman's Work

GOOD average of character is better
than a lower level of character; but good
average of character is never reached by a
man who is satisfied with a good average.
Only the man who persistently strives to be
at a high level of conduct will reach the
plane of the average well-doer. An average
is made by the balance between the slips
and the successes. The slips will come OF
themselves. The successes are result of
effort. He who aims no higher than aver
age, will be sure to fall below its. s.
