The moon has been worshiped among
nearly all the nations Of the world from
time immemorial Indeed her cult has
been asserted to BE- much older established
than sun worship. The Peruvian peasant
hurries home out Of the cold moonshine,
afraid Of the stern eyes OF Mamma Qullla,
and the Egyptian fellah lounges across the
sands where the sphinx shadow lies black
at his feet, with a prayer on his lips or in
his heart to Toth-Thoth, the master Of
wisdom, tho lord Of the Ibis, in whose abb
sence the fair land OF Khem has been
brought down very low Swabian girls
still refuse to spin by moonlight lest they
should anger her, they say vaguely, and
in Germany children firmly believe in
Horsel or Holda whose boat is the moon,
whose flower Is the fax and whose delight
Is to reward industrious little maidens
Dante makes the man in the moon Cain.
In Egypt heis Horus, held to the breast OF
Isis, his mother and the MOON In Ran
tun the man in the moon is a giant who
at flowing tide stops to pour water on the
earth and at Obj tide stands upright In or
der that the water may subside
A curious eastern fancy Is that the fig
ure in the moon is that Of the pattern wife
Ina, who weaves the clouds into white
cloth, and who, after the lapse Of many
years, sent her mortal husband back to
earth by the rainbow bridge in order that
death might not deille her heavenly home.
The cat and the panther arc both connect
ed with tho moon In some vague, occult
fashion. Indeed in Australia the moon is
represented as q native cat, and also In
Egypt. In China the Celestials shy that
there is frog in the moon, metamor-
phosed beauty called Change. the

Cardinal Tosti took his greatest delight
in watching people eat who were blessed"
with voracious appetites, and to crafty
his whim he frequently invited company
Of notorious great eaters and RECALLED them
with an abundance of the choicest viands
he could procure. One day, being In a
specially good humor, his eminence said to
his cook, To-day you must ask three men
Of extraordinary capacity to dinner and
prepare a set Of courses that would satisfy
IS ordinary persons.
The cook set of to Ripagrande where he
selected the strongest and most famished
looking Of the porters he found standing
about, provided them with decent clothes
and took them to tho cardinals palace
The table grOaned under a gigantic heap
Of the best ana dearest eatables to DO had.
The porters required no pressing, but made
a raid on the provisions like pack Of hum
CRY wolves The cardinal watched the pro
ceedings from behind curtain and was
delighted when in a comparatively short
time all the nice things which adorned the
table had disappeared, down to the very
last. As genuine Romans the three revel-
ers wero not unmindful OF tho rules OF
pOlitenoss, and one Of them was deputed to
express to his eminence their heartfelt
thanks for his kind invitation. A foOtman
took him into the presence Of the cardinal.
"Well, F." inquired the old gentleman,
with q smile, did you enjoy your feedP'
VERY much, your eninencel" was the
