Moon Was Not Looking.
A total eclipse of the moon occurred
Sunday evening. At Z o'clock there were
a few 6eecy clouds that kept passing in
front of the moon, and it was feared that
they would soon be condensed so it would
be entirely hidden, but by 1884 the at
mosphere was entirely clear, and by $3.50
the moon was entirely obscured by the
shadow of the earth, and remained so for
one hour. There were q number on the
streets watching the eclipse, and very
few retired until the moon was shining
again in full glory. A total eclipse Of
the moon will again occur Sept. 81, yisl'
BILE in this country.

a West Point Cadet who Compelled His
Colonel tn Obey tho Regulations.
The establishment of the color line
In the West Point summer encampment
recently gave rise to a good story on
the cOmmandant OF cadets, Colonel
Samuel Mills. The regulations pre-
scribe that everyone crossing the color
line or passing the colors should salute
by lifting his cap with the right hand
and placing 1t upon his left shoulder.
Colonel Mills neglected this important
ceremony not long ago and the sentry
on duty promptly stopped him and
compelled him to obey the regulation.
The c~Ommandant mex day sent for
this cadet, a third class man. who, by
the way, from Indiana, and
talked tG him long and earnestly. The
young mar refused to diyulge the sub
stance OF the interview. but the general
opinion Is that the cadet will be given
corporal's chevrons in the fall. when
changes are made in the officers of the
battalion.

American Dairymon says: A short
time q we called attention 10 the
statement OF Mr.. Mulhall that the ag-
gregate wealth Of this country repre-
scented $1,000 per capita of population.
and took exception to his deductions In
this matter as not representing the veri-
ties of the problem. Since that time
our attention has been called to the ng-
ures Of the census Of 1890. and these
evidence that Mr.. Mulhall is a past
grand master of the order of figure Jug
glers. The wealth of the country In
1889. as revealed by the census. was
500, 0S2, 000, 900. Its distribution among
the 81, 1922 $50 Of population when
grouped into families showed that 1872
900 OF these latter owned $43 1867 600, 900,
or 20 per cent of the entire wealth Of
the country. while the remainder Of the
population, represented by 1880, 900
families. owned the remaining 30 per
cent of the wealth Of the country. as OK

ton OF wealth Is permitted to exist un-
disturbed. as at present constituted, the
appearance of an aristocracy OF
wealth richer than the one that cor
rupted, cursed and crushed ancient

also a means to lessening the gravity OF
this coming danger.

In wasting diseases the number OF red

The cheeks become pale from fear be-
cause the mental emotion diminishes
the action of the heart and lungs. and

A Heart Party.

The Old-time donkey party recently
suggested a new form Of evening enter
tainment, namely. a heart party" A
large heart made OF red flannel cloth
was pinned upon a sheet hung from a
door. In the center of the heart was
sewed q small circle of white. Arrows
of white cloth with pins placed therein
were given to the guests, each arrow
bearing a number, the number CORE
spending to a list wherein the names
and numbers of the guests were placed.
The point of the game. of course, was
to see which person, when blindfolded,
would pin the arrow nearest to the CEN
trail spot OF white. -Four prizes were
offered-one each for the lady and gen.
tleman coming the nearest to the CEN
ter, and one each to those coming the
farthest from the bullseye. The prizes
consisted OF a heart-shaped pincushion.
a heart-shaped photograph frame, sill
yer heart shaped pin, and a heart
shaped box of bonbons. The BOBBY
prizes were a Brownie holding a tiny
heart with an arrow inscribed "Try,
try again." and a pincushion made of
red satin. shaped like a beet. Ladies'
