STUDY OF THE MOON.
Pcculiarities Noted In Its Appearance ut
Different Seasons.

Peculiarities Noted I'm Its Appearance ut
Different Seasons.
To the casual observer the motions
Of the moon appear to be exceedingly
whimsical and irregular, says the st.
Louis Republic. If it's place in the sky
is watched it will be found that it is
first north and then south of the suns
path, and that it is sometimes east and
sometimes west of that luminary. The
last two motions are steady and regular.
from east to, west, carrying the moon in
its endless swing around the heavens,
starting at new moon near the sun and
progressing until at full moon the
whole visible portion OF the sky separ-
ates the two bodies. After this there
appears to move backward, approach
ing the sun from the other side, then,
again apparently all OF sudden, it
passes the sun and we behold a new
moon" The north and south motions
OF the moon are entirely different.
While performing its endless journey
from west to east there are two spe-
cial periods in which it either moves
far nOrthward or takes up its position
low down in the south. In spring the
first motion is north, but afterward the
general motion is reversed. In De-
cember you will note that the full moon
occurs at the most northerly point in
her course and in June at the most
southerly. This is why we have most
light from the full moon of winter and
least from that of summer. ObServa-
tons on these various movements in
dictate to us the path in which the moon
moves about the earth and also show
us that that body in different parts of
its orbit is at varying distances from
the earth. This indicates that the moons
path is not circle. but an elhpse, hav-
ing the earth in one of its fOci. The
moon being governed directly and held
in position by the attraction of the
earth, holds it's primary movements in
path around our globe, but the at
traction energy of the sun and Of the
giant planets, perhaps, in lesser de-
gree, produces motions in the moon
which may be summarized briefly as
combination of the six following move
ments. % It's revolution about the
earth, (2) it's revolution with the earth
about the sun, 90 the vibrating eccen-
tricity of its orbit, ca the slow, direct
rotation in the line of apsides," 60 the
retrograde rotation in the line of nodes
and (6) is rotation on it's axis. 1t would
be proper to enlarge this mote" SO as
to give full explanation of the causes
of each of the aforementioned move
ments, but as each would require the
use of scores of diagrams and technical
phrases such feat cannot be at
tempted.

Chicago Girls and matrimony.

I have no doubt that the remaining
cause of the low marriage rate is that
many men dislike intellectual women
whether because such women are really
disagreeable or because mans taste is
at fault, I shall not try to determine.
And even among those who like them
as friends many feel as the young man
did who made this confession: II
never expected to marry the sort of a
girl I did. You know I always be-
lieved in intellectual equality and all
that, and had good friendships with the
college girls. But you see, you girls
hadn't any illusions about u.s. After
you had seen us hanging at the board
on problems you could work, and had
taken the same degree yourselves, you
couldn't imagine us wonders just be-
cause we had gone through college, AND
when I met a dear little girl that
thought I knew everything why, it
just keeled me right over; it was feel
ing had no idea of. Century.

Fills a Down East Pulpit.

The town of I4ittleton, N. H., has a
woman pastor. Mrs. Frost. She first
came to town as the wife of the pastor
of the Congregational church, Rev.
George Il. Frost. Owing to ill health
he was obliged to go abroad, and the
church invited Mrs. Frost to supply the
pulpit during his absence. This she did
for year. when an ecclesiastical coun-
Gil was called, and, after a most rigid
examination the rite of ordination was
administered and Mrs. Frost was then
fitted legally for all the functions of
minister. In pulpit, parish. at funerals,
marriage ceremonies and all other SER
vices she was equally acceptable. Those
who were al first doubtful Of the ex-
pediency of the step have all been quiet
ly convinced of the wisdom Of the plan,
and, when the pastor was forced, from
continued H. health, to ask a dismis-
sion, it was granted only on condition
that Mrs. Frost should be installed and
be the pastor. Each advance step lead
ing to this remarkable arrangement has
been taken by the people. In no in
stance has Mrs. Frost put herself for
ward She is modest, retiring woman
of marked ability.

M. ROchefOrt is known in England as
a Boulangist, as the editor and proprie-
tor of the Intransigeant newspaper, as
the wild political agitator who opposed
the government of Louis Napoleon in
the eos as bitterly as he attacked the
actual republic at the close of the sos,
says the Saturday Review. English
men can scarcely understand M. Roche
forts position as a newspaper editor
and agltatOr, and his power is to them
almost incredible. Yet the signs of his
influence are not impalpab1e. The In
tranSigeant has a larger circulation
than any French newspaper except the
Petit Journal. The truth is that there
are only three or four men in France
who have made their pen a whip, and
so become objects of fear and respect,
and OF these M. Rochefort is the chief,
for neither NJ Cassagnac nor M. Dru-
mont can be compared with him in wit
or power of vituperation. His reputa-

Combs of High Degree for This Season.
From the little unobtrusive inch and
a half combs that used to plaster back
refractory bangs during the Madonna
craze, the side comb has developed into
a five or six inch implement, encircling
half the head and variously ornamented
and filigreed. The teeth are fine and
far apart, to suit soft or coarse hair,
and variously graded being perhaps
only a half inch deep on one end and
two inches on the other. In the mat
ter of couture, sweet simplicity has
been relegated to the background, and
authorities predict that the feminine
heads at the opera and other evening
functions this winter will be works of
art.
