SpOts on the Moon.

All over the eastern part of Asia the
spots in the moons disc are believed to
be a rabbit or a hare; the Chinese in par
ticular look upon them as o hare sitting
up and pounding rice in a mortar. Most
of the Siamese take the same view; some
few, however, see in the moon man and
a woman working in field. Curiously
enough, the North American Indians
have almost the same superstitions as the
Chinese; and on old monuments in Cen
trail America the moon appears as Jug
or vessel out of which an animal like a
rabbit is Jumping. The South American
Indians, on the other hand. believe that
girl who had fallen in love with the
moon sprang upward to it, was caught
and kept by it, and that it is her figure
which is seen on the moons face. The
Esquimaux have an original superstition.
They say that one day Amiga, the moon,
chased his sister, the sun, in wrath. Just
as he was about to catch her, however,
she suddenly turned round and threw a
great handful of SCOT in his face, and
thus escaped him; and Of that SCOT he
bear the traces to this day.

G0ths and VandaIs.

The Goths and Vandals, so frequently
mentioned in European history, were
wild Germanic tribes that overran South
ern Europe from the second to the fifth
century. When first known to the Ro-
mans, the Goths had settled along the
Danube and the Alps; the Vandals were
south of the Black Sea. Both of these
tribes pressed southwestward, and in
vaded Italy, Spain, and Africa, making
several attacks upon the city of Rome.
The Romans were repeatedly defeated,
and their temples stripped of their orna-
ments to buy their favor. The greatest
leader of the Goths was Alaric, in the
fifth century, who three times took
Rome, and once sat upon the throne, a
rival Emperor to Honorious. The rec
ognized ruler Chief of the Vandals, was
Genscric, who, at the bidding of Eud-
loxia, wife OF the murdered Emperor,
took ROM, and gave the city up to be
pil!aged y his soldiers for fourteen
days. At one time the Roman army was
largely composed of Goths and Vandals,
who, furnished with Roman arms, were
we'll prepared to conquer their masters.
The downfall of Rome in 476, A. D.,
was accomplished by the combined hosts
of Huns, Goths, Vandals, Alani, and
Franks, and the spoil was divided be-
tween the conquerors.

TINE TO TRANSPLANT.

Trees that start to grow very early IN
spring, as larch, willow, and most small
fruits, would better be moved in autumn;
but if this work was neglected 1t that
time, then attend to it soon after winter
frost is out of the soil. After vegetation
once becomes active in any plant the risk
of removal is greatly heightened. This
is the cause of death of the larches and OF
so many of our hardy herbaceous plants
moved late in spring The other extreme
is represented by the conifers and mag
nolia family. Their buds start very late
in. the season, and we reasonably suppose
a considerable amount of heat requisite
to rouse vegetation. Consequently, all
such trees and plants may be removed
after much of our spring work has re-
ceived attention. Indeed, practice has
demonstrated that late remoValin all such
cases is a benefit; success is then much
more certain than if attempted earlier.
The peculiar fcshy roots of magnolias
will not emit new fibres unless the sap is
flowing freely; this lack frequently causes
uecaS III tuese oiSan9' 40 ANtoi "
evergrcens evidently dislike to remain in
a transition state between active growth
and season of rest, when recently re-
moved to new soil. Taking everything
into consideration, autumn is preferable
to spring for transplanting most deciduous
trees. Stone fruits, however, seem to be
an exception, unless moved in early fall,
as it is imperative for them to form fresh
fbres to be enabled to withstand the Sc
verify of the following winter. Generally,
more difficulty is experienced in trans
planting cherries than any other of our
fruit trees, and more than usual care should
be taken not to mutilate the roots as a
large proportion of the failures result from
this cause alone.-Neao York Tribune.

Singular Custom in O Saxon Village.

Little Kotzschenbroda, village near
Dresden, well known to many young
Americans through its excellent private
school, can boast cf a singular old time
custom. During the thirty years war,
the Elcctor, John George l., spent much
of his time at the famous Electoral vine
yard of Hohossnitz, he being more fond
of bibbing than pleased his consort, who
however dared not reproach him with it.
One day she prevailed upon the pastor
of the Kotzschenbroda church, where the
Electoral couple worshiped, to preach
sermon on the dire consequences Of glut-
tony and intemperance, which sermon the
venerable divine closed with the words:
Our gracious master is also a hard
drinker, but he can afford it, and he
seems to be none the worst for it, Amen"
After the service the pastor was invited
to dinner-an invitation which rather
disturbed the good, old man. But it
was not until near the close Of the dinner
that the Elector turned to him, AMI said:
"My worthy pastor, you have been pretty
bold to-day in firing a good round shot
at my hide" Whcrcupon the divine,
summoning all his courage, boldly re-
piled: II should be sorry, Your Grace,
if it only hit the hide-I wanted it to 60

/ $4,000 Dog.

One of the features of the Westminster
-ennel Club show was the exhibition of
The dog Rival, which was formerly
owned by the late Emperor William and
sold for large price at the time OF his
death. This breed Of dogs is known in
their native country as Russian, Siberian
or Circassian wolf hounds. They are
identically the same class Of dog as the
English greyhound, but the colder
climate of Russia has given them heavy
warm coat instead Of the thin one OF the
English dog. The most valuable speei-
mems are those of white color, with
lemon markings, and perhaps the present
dog, Rival, is the most perfect specimen
% be found.
They are very affectionate in their dis
positions to those whom they recognize.
In Russia they are used for wolf hunt
ing, for which they are well fitted,
owing to their large and powerful build
and great swiftness in running. There
ure but few dogs of this kind in this
country, all of which have been pur-
chased at large prices. The one sold
last year at the club show for $4,000,
named Ivan, is not of the desirable
markings of the present dog, Rival.
The wolf hound is admirably suited
for lady's dog, or for the far West, as
he can adapt himself to either peaceful
or warlike surroundings. No other
breed approaches them in beauty. To
all the exquisite g1acefulness OF the true
greyhound is added power, size and
beauty of good form, which gives them
an air of majesty that the greyhound
cannot own. Their aristocratic appear
nnce causes them to attract wide atten'
$ion. Rival was the favorite of the late
Emperor William. A similar dog i:
owned by the Empress of Austria, anc
one also accompanies, we believe, thu
well-known actress, Nine. Bernhardt
The price asked for the dog is $40, 0OO
The dog is the joint property Of Herbert
Booth King and John Gctz, both OF thl'
city.-NeD York Journal.
