New Moons.

In former years tic night watchmen
of European towns, as they went their
rounds, called out tle hour and the state
of the weather.
These watchmen were generally old
men, whose infirmlties, rather than their
fitness, made them guardians of the
night. Of one of them, il watchman Of
Canterbury, Cooper, tho English artist,
tells a story amusingly Illustrative of tho
mental dullness of the class.
One night it had been raining between
the hours of the old mans rounds, Il fact
of which he wasignorant, having snoozed,
as usual, in his watch box. When he
started on his next round the rain had
ceased, and the light of the moon was
reflected in many pools of water. AS
the oh man went along he was heard to
call out:
Past II o'clock, a wet night and more
moons than usual.'

Andrew Carnegie says there is no truth in the re-
port that the $500 men employed in the Homestead
Mills at Philadelphia intend to go out strike
lie also denies that the ffty-fou acres Of ground
purchased at Duquesne Penn, adjoining the Carnegie
works. we're bought for the purpose Of putting up
more shops where armor to be made
"We have three years contract with all the men
at the Homestead Mills, and the contract does not

can 20 ont on strike" said Mr. Carnegie TO Tribune
reporter last evening" at his home at No. West Fifty
6rst-st "The men are working sliding scale
OF wages and up to the present time everything has
been most satisfactory among them. The complaint.
I understand Is from twenty men who are engaged In
a certain department of the armOr shops. They say
they are entitled to money than others. There
certainly is no danger OF all the going out, and
T doubt IL a man will leave us.
"Regarding the statement that Carnegie Brothers
had purchased large tract of land adjoining the
works at Duquesne with view Of building more shops
where armor was to be made will that there +
no such intention on part. At Homestead we can
turn ont enough armor TO supply the navies of the
world. and naturally there Is no necessity for ad-
ditionaI works There. 900 tons Of armor are now
annually supplied. The land was purchased with a
view of future extension Of the works some blast
