The Young Moon.

The editor Of The Popular Science
Monthly takes certain imaginative writ
ers to task for their unscientific and abb
surd statements regarding "the young
moon" and "the crescent moon" and ad-
vises them to leave it alone, because they
SO often contrive to get it in the wrong
place. In story which has come under
his notice he finds two friends described
as sitting out one summer evening look
ing over the Thames, and the writer goes
on to say, by this time the young moon
had arisen, and its cold light shimmered
over the misty river" Such writers are
reminded that the young moon goes to
bed early and can never be seen IN the
process Of rising.

Gold Digging.

Perhaps it was not an old ''forty-
miner" who gave the following descrip-
ton, but it was a man who knew the
work in question. Like most enthusi-
asts, however, he undertakes the trial
and disappointment involved:
It's the prettiest work ever did. It's
the fascination of it, when you've
struck it pretty rich and see your gold
right in front of you, when you're pill
ing it up every half hour Of the day,
with nugget now and again as big as
bullet to cheer you.
And then when the evering comes
and you count it up and find it a hun
dred odd dollars just picked out O. the
earth that day-well, there's nothing
like It'll
Then when you don't strike it you al
ways think you're going to next day,
and it's just as exciting hearing other
men tell in the evening what they've
pulled out as it is counting over your
own. Why, I've been three or four
months at a time without making dol
lar and without cent i'll my pocket;
but, gee whitaker, the excitement of it
don't give man time to think how
hard up he is!-Youth's Companion.

In spite of the commercial character

Of the small army of commercial travel
ers whose address is New York, it is
still true that the great body of the peo-

the east does not know the west. This
is true because the west came from the

of the people have not the time, if they

channel after all. In very real sense
the people are provincial. They ask the
visitor from Kansas City if he knows
their friends in St. Paul. They ask the
visitor from Denver whether he enjoys
any religious privileges in that city of

A Creed of Love,

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up until
your friends are dead. Fill their lives
with sweetness. Speak approving, cheer
ing words while their ears can hear
them and while their hearts can be
thrilled and made happier by them. The
kind things you mean to say when they
are gone say before they 60 The flow
ers you mean to send for their coffins
send to brighten and sweeten their
homes before they leave them. If my
friends have alabaster boxes laid away
full of fragrant perfumes Of sympathy
and affection which they intend to break
over my dead body, l would rather they
would bring them out i'll my weary and
troubled hours and open them, that 1
may be refreshed and cheered by them
while need them. l would rather have
plain coffin without flower, funeral
without eulogy, than life without
the sweetness Of love and sympathy. Let
us learn to anoint our friends before
hand for their burial. Post mortem
kindness does not cheer the burdened
spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no
fragrance backward over the weary way.

The loungers around the only store in
a little New England village We're great
ly amused at something that happened
one warm afternoon A tall, lank, bare
footed man came into the store with a
gallon pail filed with blackberries,
which he exchanged for three quarts of
molasses.
He carried a stout hickory walking
stick in one hand, and when he departed
he put the pail on one end of the stick
and threw the stick across his shoulder.
He reached the platform in front of the
store when shining new pin at his feet
caught his eye.
''See pin and pick 1t up,
All the day you'll have good luck"
he drawled out and stopped over to pick
up the pin, when the molasses crawled
out all over his back and neck.
Strengthening himself hu1riedly, the
man said:

TRIALS or A TICKET MAN.
Ho Can Endure All but the Questions Of
People who Never Travel.


People who Never Travel.
A prominent Pittsburg passenger
agent, in a conversation with reporter
of that city, gave few interesting facts
relative to the everyday experience Of
the average city passenger man, which
those not directly connected with the
business know nothing about. He said:
1T is singular fact the number Of
people who visit our Office daily and the
curious questions they ask with regard
to railroa@ rates, ETC., when very often
they HAYS no notion whatever OF leaving
the city and as matter Of fact have not
travelled any worth mentioning. For six
years there has been a very singular char
acter who has made an annual visit to
this Office. | have no idea from whence
he cometh or whittier he goeth, but he
always asks the selfsame questions and
goes away apparently satisfied with the
information he has received always
expect him in the springtime, generally
about the 1st Of April, when the suns
rays grow warmer.
''Then my quaint old friend comes to
see me. l should judge him to be at
least 80 years of age. He is stopped and
feeble, with hair as white as snow, but
well dressed, wears silk hat and carries
cane and talks in q nervous, ierky

has been his cherished hope to see for all

It is true that we read good deal
about ''the designing woman in novels
written by ladies. 1t gives them pleas

their pure and innocent sons are always
in danger from these unprincipled young
persons. And yet the fact is that at ~
none of them can hold candle for evil

Loving.

We learn to love by loving 1t grows
by practice. Like everything else, it
gathers strength through exercise The
more we keep at it the easier and more
natural it becomes We can form the
habit Of looking at people with love-
thinking about them with love, speak
ing Of them in love and acting toward
them lovingly. Our deeds will react
upon our thoughts, and our thoughts
and feelings will prompt to action. So
we may become stepped in love. 1t will
radiate from us as the light from the
lamps. We shall be charged with it as
the battery is with electricity, and pow
er will go out from u.s. So instead of
crying idly, "Oh, for more lover' let
us lay more stress upon the practice. If
we continually use what we have, it
will increase. New York Ledger
