Russia has queer trades Of which we
know nothing. Along the volgx there
are colonies which make q speciality Of
breeding and raising cats, which are
sold for the fur and which are usually
disposed OF to peddlers. The cats bring
from 5 to Ia cents apiece and the ped
der collects them In . bag, kills them

lages in which they have been bought
and takes on their skins, which are
shipped by him TO the fur centers Of the
empire. In = village not far OF from the
home OF Tolstol, In Tula. there are
eighty families who do nothing else but
raise cansries. and in TamboH there Ia q
section where pigeons are bred for the
sake Of their skins, which are sold at
the weekly bazars and at the fairs. The
feathers are, OF course, left on the
skins and they eventually form . part Of
some lady's cloak or hat.

Perhaps the secret OF the sweet ex-

ion Of dress never varying, saves the

makes housekeeping a mere b~aga.elle.

generally are due to electrical dis
turbances.
Does it not seem reasonable that
the moon should cut an important
figure as a disturber of electrical
equilibrium?
superintendent of asylums and
experts in insanity say that there
are no grounds for belief that the
moon affects the mind Of the insane,
Notwithstanding the term lunacy
was applied to such cases because
Of the supposed lunar influence. 1t
is true, however, that in many in
stances the patients have had
spells about once a month.
There is a lady now living in

these times she does not venture
out at night, but shuts herself in a
dark room. There are many such

HIS SWEETHEART SAID mo"
And Ever Afterwards UnIucky Mason Evans
Stunned the Sight Of Man.

Chattanooga Times.
Mason Evans, the much-para-
graphed wild man" Of Monroe
county, Tenn, is dead. The fatal
grip took him off. Evans had been
a great curiosity in this section for
mare than forty years, during
which time he had roamed in the
woods, apart from the comforts of
civilization, subsisting on roots and
herbs dug from the earth, with an
an occasional fowl surreptitiously
taken from some convenient barn
yard. He was captured several
times, but always managed to es-
cape. Seven or eight years ago he
was captured by some fearless fell
low with an enterprising turn of
mind, for the purpose of entering
him in a dime museum as the
"Wild Man of Borneo."
When taken, his body was as
hairy as that of bear and covered
with filth and vermin. His eye
CLEANED like the eye of maniac
and he had almost lost the power
of speech. For twenty years he
lived in a cave of the Chilhowee
mountains, and was never known
to have spoken a word during that
time. He lived in a state of
nudity and was fond OF raw meat.
Those who know his history say
that he was born in Monroe county
near Hiwassee college, in 1927 or
thereabout. He was good family
and had received a splendid educa-
ton. Atabout twenty years Of age
he was engaged in teaching school
and in the meantime fell in love
with a handsome young lady of
his neighborhood. She received
his attentions with apparent favor.
One night he called and asked her
to become his wife. She said
No" He went out into the dark
ness and it was many years before
he was seen again, and then he fled
from hts fellow-men like a fright
ened deer.

| the moon was q sure sign VI RAIN,
and the number of stars visible
within the circle indicated the
number of days before the rain
would come.
The health, growth and develop
ment of children and animals were
supposed to be influenced by the
moon. If the sign was right at the
time of birth they would be we'll
formed and intellectual, but if it
was wrong there was no telling
what sort Of creatures they would
become. Every worthless fellow,
every dog, roofing hog, fence-jump-
ing COW or kicking horse was be-
lieved to have been born under an
unfavorable phaze of the queen of
night. Queer people, or those who
were of hateful disposition, were
children of the dark of the moon,
with the sign below the heart.
1t is unfortunate for the moonist
that careful records were not kept.
WHEN TO BE BORN.
To be born in the light of the
moon, the sign in the head, with
ascending node, insured large
brain, exalted intelligence and a
progressive spirit. If the sign was
in the heart the individual
would be of generous, jovial.
kindly disposition; if in the stom-
ach great eater, with a tendency
to grow fat and pussy; if in the legs
he would be great traveller or
gadabout; if in the feet a good
dancer and hard kicker.
The same lunar conditions that
caused cooking meat to shrivel up
brought thinness and lankness to
the individual, while those that in.
duced shingles to warp and Chin
neys to lean gave to individual
gnarly dispositions, distorted feat
ures and warped morals.
It is quite natural that the moon
should have more or less influence
in love affairs. There is that we'll
known and oft-repeated couplet.
Happy is the bride that the sun shines on,
Happy is the corpse that the rain rains on.
1t is the moon, however, that the
maiden looks to for charm to
bring her lover. If she wishes to
see him she must wait for the new
moon, and at first sight of it over
her right shoulder kneel at her
bedroom window and repeat these
lines:
New moon, true moon, come tell unto me,
Before this time tomorrow
Who my true lover will be.
If his clothing do wear,
ana MS chlioren DO bear.
Blithe and merry may see him,
With his face to me,
If his clothing don't wear,
And his cnildrel don't bear,
Sad and sorrOwful may see him,
With his back to me.
Then she must crawl into bed
quietly, compose her mind and
wait for him to appear to her in
dream.
LUNA AND THE WEATHER.
