WHYMONDAY?

Where SO much depends upon order
and accuracy in the management of
the housekeeper it is not always easy
to proportion the work of each day
Too much is thrown upon Monday
and Tuesday. Why not postpone
washing till the latter day? On Mon
day the house can be put to rights,
bread baked and desserts made for
that day and the next. That night
the table may be laid and covered
with netting used for this purpose
alone, the clothing put to soak and
all the materials made ready for break
fast. Where there is but one domestic
or none at all, the weeks labor is thus
under much better control. The first
meal should consist of few dishes and
the dinner may all be previously
cooked save the vegetables. The
domestic, who swept hall, steps and
piazza while the fire was kindling, has
only to remove the breakfast things,
wash the dishes and go to her laundry
work. On Wednesday she is not ia
tigued by the previous days work
and there is time enough to keep the
house clean the remainder of the week
finishing up odd jobs on Monday
Where two or more girls are kept the
same custom might well prevail, by
which means the cook will be able to
do all the cooking SO that the food
may be as nicely served as usual.

ABOUT THE FULL MOON.

Did you ever see full moon?'
know what your answer will be with
out waiting for it. 1t is this, Eyes,
once every month since l have been
old enough to pay attention to such
phenomena. Yet take the position
that you are badly mistaken, and
that in all probability you have never
in your life beheld the full face of our
''silvery sister world" By way of
solution let us see what it takes to
constitute full moon'' in the exact
sense of the term: A full moon occurs
only when our obsequious attendant
is $50 degrees of longitude from the
sun. Old Sol and the earth being on
the ecliptic. But the moons orbit is
inclined to the ecliptic at an angle Of
5 degrees 8 minutes Al seconds and is
therefore never on the ecliptic when
at its nodes or crossings.
This being the case, what we call
the circular disk of the moon full
moon) lacks considerable of being an
exact circle, being what astronomers
term sin state of gibbosity," and is
never perfect disk except when "a
full moon" happens exactly at the
time when Luna is crossing the eclip-
tic, at which time she must necessarily
be centrally eclipsed. One of our best
present day astronomers, in concluding
an article of much merit on the same
subject, says, "We therefore conclude
that real full moon, one having
perfect circle, has rarely, if ever, been

see full moon?'

FAILED TO CURE.

During a temperance excitement at
Arcola, ILL.,, some time ago an incident
occurred that is now first seen in
print.
A blacksmith there was a confirmed
drinker. All efforts to reform him
had been in vain, and at last some of
his friends concluded to try a desper-
ate remedy as last resort. They got
him dead drunk and put him in a
pine box. Then they carried him out
to the cemetery and put the box in a
grave that had been dug for use the
next day. The friends waited for de,
velopments. Early in the morning
they heard him moving in the box
and soliloquiZing aloud.
Dead, am Dead and buried
Buried in my old clothes. Shows
what they think of fellow when he's
gone. Wonder what l died of? l
can't remember anything about it."
About that time the top, which had
been lightly fastened came loose and
the topper sprang to his feet, looked
around the cemetery and shouted
Resurrection, by gum. First man
above ground. Bet the drinks on it. "
The experiment was total failure,
and the blacksmith was drunk again
by night.

BLOOD ORANGES.

The blood orange is mere variety
of the sweet orange obtained by cul-
tivation and appears first to have
been raised by the Spanish gardeners
in the Philippine Islands, from the
capital of which (Manila) it, together
with the well-known cigars, formed
at one time one of the chief articles of
export. On it's first appearance in
Europe it excited considerable sensa-
tion;and in the last century very high
prices were demanded for the trees
which bore the wonderful fruit
None, however, now come to us from
Manila, our supply being derived
almost entirely from Malta, where
great pains and attention are bestow-
ed upon their cultivation. 1t was for
long time supposed, and indeed the
idea is not quite extinct, that blood
oranges were produced by the graft
ing of the orange with the pomegran-
ate; but there is not the slightest
foundation for this belief.

And silent shadows, soft and brown,
Crept over wales and rills.

Dip down the dusky lea;
Hardening, heard maiden sing,
And you'll remember me.''

Came drifting through the trees
I'm language whose excess imparts,"
Was borne upon the breeze.
All love is sweet and hope is strong,
And life's a summer sea,
A woman's soul is in her song
And you'll remember me-"
Still ripping from the throbbing throat,
With joy akin to pain,
There seemed a tear in every note,
A sob in every strain;
Soft as the twilight shadows creep
Across the listless lea,
The singer sang her love to sleep
With: you'll remember me.''

FOUNDER OF JAPAN'S NAVY.
Romantic History of Will Adams,
an Oldtime Englishman.

Many people at the present juno
ture, says the st. James Gazette,
will be interested to learn that the
founder of the Japanese navy was
an Englishman by the name OF
William Adams, who sailed to the
Eastern seas with a Dutch trading
feet of five vessels in the year
1898, and was forced to put into
Bungo, a port in Japan, in 1900,
by his vessel being short-handed
from sickness.
Adams was at first imprisoned,
but the Emperor Shotgun Iyeyasu
released him and set him to work
building a ship. Iyeyasu made
Adams Lord of Henri, with hun
dred vassals, and the new lord, as
other Englishmen compelled to re-
side in Japan have done since,
tried to console himself with Jap
anese wife and family. But be
was never consoled Though he
lived in Japan twenty years, his
thoughts were with England and
his wife and children to the day of
his death, and he left them half of
his fortune.
Twice he went for long voyages
for Iyeyasu.
The spot selected for Will Adams
grave is one of the most happily
chosen sites conceivable. 1t is in
his own lordship of Henri, on a
high green hill, commanding a.
triple view of all that would have
interested viii Adams most. Right
below, in a maze of inlets and ISL
ands, lies Yokosuku, the arsenal OF
Japan. Here, doubtless, Will built
some of his ships, and here is the
headquarters of the japanese navy,
of which he is the deified founder.
The people have made a Shinto
god cfthe English founder of their
navy. On the tomb where he lies,
with his Japanese wife beside him
which every coolie in Henri or
Yokosuku knows as English. An
jim Haka ("the English pilots
tomb"}-one may often see offer
ings o: fresh flowers.
