The Moon.

The Moon.
The moon will make amends for
getting full twice last month, by not
getting full at all this month. Ihat
is perhaps the humorous aspect, but
there is a more interesting one in the
fact that month without full moon
only happens once in about twenty
wears. The irregularity is not in the
moons habits, for they are OF the
greatest regularity. 1t is the irregu-
Iarities OF the calendar that place
Luna in this false position. The IN
terval between full moons is always
twenty-nine and a half days, so that
February is the only month that pos
sibly can be without full moon, and
that only when the preceding full
moon comes on the Goth or Slst oil
January. The last full moon was on
Jan. 81. and the moon will not be full
again until March 2.

st. Valentine S Day.

81. PdI6nUnS DuI'
Tuesday was st. Valentines Day
and the pleasant old custom OF send
ing love tokens was duly observed in
this place. Like many another man
st. Valentine-or plain Valentine be-
fore he died-was not appreciated
until after he had passed from earth
" scenes. He was bishop and was
noted for his love and charity. He
lived IN wicked cruel old Rome. Cen
turtles before the Christian era the
Romans had feasts in the month OF
February called the feasts of the Luz
percalia, and one of the customs Pc
culiar to these feasts was the placing
of the names of the young woman In
a box, from which they were drawn
by the young men. Later, upon the
rise OF Christianity, it was a festival
OF the church, and good st. Valentine
was fixed upon as the proper person
whom the custom should honor and
the day celebrate.

Saturday morning at eleven o'clock
as Mr.. Job Smith was skating on Ben
son creek, the ice broke with him
near the point where the creek

him at the time, but two men in a
skiff heard his cry as he plunged
beneath the ice and made every en-
deavor, by projecting poles at the
place he disappeared, to rescue him
but failed to accomplish their pur-
pose. A number of people after
wards assisted in the search for the
body, which was found within half

gregation of sorrowing friends.

He can not cure all cases nor does he
claim to. His careful mode of ex-

slightest changes in the different
organs enable him to tell at once
whether or not cure can be effected
His ideas are new and his methods
the latest. He is not an old fogy, nor
does he use methods that were in use
years ago and which have been tried
and proven unsuccessful. The doe
