Greeting the New Moon In Fui.

In Colo. the mountainous interior of
Wit Lew, the largest island Of the Fiji
group, the natives have a very curious
method Of greeting the new moon. On
seeing the thin crescent rising above
the hills they salute it with a prolonged
"Ah!' at the same time quickly rap
ping on their open mouths with their
left hands, thus producing a rapid vibra-
tory sound. An old chief when asked
regarding the meaning and origin of
this curious custom said We always
look and hunt for the moon in the sky,
and when it INT we do as you see TO
show our pleasure at finding it again.
We don't know the meaning Of what
We do; our fathers always did so."-St
Louis Republic.

Massachusetts fell from 942, 600 pounds
to POS. 600. and Connecticut from 49,
900 to 23O. 900.
The casual reader may infer from
such statistics that New England agTi-
culture is declining. that the farmers as
a class are less prosperous aud have
fewer of the necessities. conveniences
or luxuries which make life desirable
now than did the farmers Of a previous
generation. Nothing could be further
from the truth, as is proven by compar-
ing the home Of the average farmer Of
today with the homes of those Of earlier
years.
Yet New England agriculture has not
made the advance il should have made
and which it has facilities for making.
With all the increase in the production
of fruits, garden vegetables and milk,
there is still room for keeping up the
product Of wool TO the highest point
ever reached, and this without inter
fering materially with the production
of most other crops. IL is an old
maxim, the more animals the more
manure, and the more manure the
more crop. We need animals 10 con
sumo the coarser vegetation of the
farm and convert IT into money prod
ucts, and fertilizers for growing other
crops and maintaining the productive
power Of the soil. No state in New
England need keep fewer sheep nov
than were ever kept, and there is no
state which would not be richer for the
large iocks Of years ago.-New Eng

Improvement in Surgical Dressing.


A new material, which has been
named "Christia. " has been introduced
for surgical dressings. 1t is a mem
brane-like tissue, made by a process Of
felting the pure fiber of the MANILA
hemp. IL is very light and strong, i'm
permeable TO water, spirits of all kinds
oils and acids. 1t is made neutral, so
that it can be rendered antiseptic with
any desired medicament. II will stand
tropical heat and arctic cold with
out being i~niuriously affected by the
changes.
IL is particularly adapted for India
and other hot climates, where gutta-
percha tissue and oiled silk become in
short time amalgamated TO such an e1-
tent as not only 10 be useless TO the
surgeon but injurious TO anything with
which they come in contact. In view
Of the fact that both oiled silk and
guttapercha tissue have been discarded
by the governments of the United States.
England, France. Denmark and Nor
way in consequence of their impracti-
cability, there is a large field for the
new material, another advantage of
which is that it is only about half the
pnce Of oiled silk.-New York Com

such cases are few and far between. It
Is not impossible that scme Of the con
ductors were newsboys themselves il
their time.
aside from his method Of doing bust
ness on the city's horse cars. the New
York newsboy has another trait which
entities him to respect, and that is his
honesty. Give a boy a dime, and if he
says, ''Haint got no change, boss; just
wait er minute, " and then disappears
in the crowd. you needn't think for an
instant that you are being robbed. OF
purse the boy could get away if he
we're so inclined, but he isn't. The lit
tie chap may have had hard luck, and
perhaps didn't get money enough to
buy his usual luncheon, but it will
never enter his head TO run away with
your dime. Just inquire among your
friends and see If you can find one who
will say that a New York newsboy ever
robbed him of a cent.-New York Her

Unwritten Laws which He Observes with

Etiquette is not confined TO the -Four

of manners which is carefully kept up
even without the surveillance of a Nc
Anister.
Watch one board a horse car, for In

short of marvellous. II he sees another
newsboy in the car that settles it. The
latter ome gets of the a without
more ado. Perhaps he is many times
larger than the boy inside, but that
makes no difference. There is an un-
written law among the newsboys OF
New York which says that, THE ffnt
Teller on der car owns der roost."
Size and personal prowess do not
count in the deal at all. It is simply an
arrangement adopted by the craft long
ago and founded on the basis Of fair
play.
Another thing that n notices in
the horse cars is the tendency Of the
conductor to be tolerant toward the
boys, even though the little fellow,
sometimes get in their way and tread
on their corns. Seldom is il that a
newsboy, when he is handed five cents
for a penny paper, appeals in vain TO
the conductor for five coppers if he
happens 20 find himself without change.
On the other hand, if the day is very
cold and the ear door is kept shut by
the conductor, the newsboy in opening

having a separate car for electric light
