Didn't Know His Nelghbor.

Jonathan has been into the Maine
woods eighteen seasons, and his occu-
patton there has been gathering spruce
gum. He builds a cabin in the fall
when he is about to begin work in new
territory. 1t is generally small one,
but he takes great pains to make it one
that can easily be kept warm. One
year he passed five months without see
ing human being, and at the end of
that time he found that another man
had been in camp less than two miles
from his all winter. They did not see
each others tracks for the reason that
the other fellow was trapping, and con-
fined his journeyings to valley where
a large stream and it's branches gave
him a field for his operations. Two
miles away Mr.. Stone lived in his little
camp on the edge of big spruce
growth, and in following this he went
away from, instead of toward, his
Leighbor, the trapper. When they had
finished their seasons work and got
acquainted coming out, they told each
other of the lonesome evenings passed
il. their respective camps.

Frightened the Bride to DEATH.

In the Church of CHRISTIAN at Pisek, In
Bohemia, marriage was about to be SOL
ennized between Anna Roslin, aged 49,.
and youth of her choice Bride and
bridegroom stood already before the altar,
where were lighted tapers. Before the
priest could unto the bridal pair one of
tho tapers became suddenly extinguished.
A loud Shrek came from the bride, and
she gasped, Meme kcrzo list erloschen %
CMy taper is extinguishedl) and sank
unconscious into the arms Of the bride
groom. Immediately all attention was
turned to tho condition of the bride. Sew
erai attempts were made to rovive tho poor
girl, but in vain. The bride, in her chaplet
and veil, died ut the altar rails.
The superstition of tho villages of tho
plain is that If lighted taper becomes OK
tinguished on either sido of tho altar the
person standing on that side of tho altar
where the light went out will suffer a dire
calamity.I-.London News.

A Story About Dumas.

The lato Alexandra Dumas was ono OF
tho most generous of men. Thore is Il
pretty story told concerning a voluminous
MS. which his publisher received from
him ono day. On it he had written, "You
must publish this novel, for which you
must give l, 800 francs" 1t was trans
lation from the English, and the publisher
Objected explaining that translation
wasn't worth that sum, and that, more
over, he was busy with a number of orig
inal works. He wouldn't give moro than
800 francs. Every WELL, replied Dumas,
'put down 1000 francs to my account.
Take your 800 francs and give the remain
ing 1900 to the translator Tho pub
Usher soon discovered that this was q
piece of noble helpfulness on the part of
Dumas. The translator was the widow of

BULLION EMBROIDERY.
Little Shops Where Uniforms Are Made
Gorgeous With Gold.

Little Shops Where Uniforms Are Made
Gorgeous With Gold.
One secs from tho sidewalk of q quiet
street cast of Third avenue n big basement
shop whcro two or three girls arc bending
over well worn embroidery frames. The
samples of their work displayed in the win
dow show that they arc making bullion
embroidery to decorate tho coats or caps Of
military officers policemen and others
whose trades or professions require uni
forms. There is less to DO done in tho bull
lion embroidery trade in this oity than in
most old world cities, but thore is n con-
slant and growing demand for tho handi-
work of tho bullion ombroiderers, and the
TRADE is one that keeps its own in spite OF
labor saving devices.
Bullion embroidery worked directly upon
the stuff of the cap or coat is still tho prop
er thing for the uniformed man who would
have all his accOutrements right. Tho en-
broidery shops arc usually little places,
and tho proprietor is sometimes woman
The frame is simple device of hard wood,
enlarged or reduced in accordance with the
needs of tho particular piece of work in
hand. The cmbroidcrers arc usually girls,
often very young, though tho design ers arc
sometimes mon Embroidery designing is
not very difficult business, because little
originality is demanded, since tho trade
has well established traditions and thorc
arc plenty of books to guide tho designer.
There arc no new designs to be mado in
Masonic. military or naval emblcms, and
even tho myriad shooting clubs of tho Cor
man quarter are not likely to require any
thing that will demand great ingenuity OF
the embroidery designer.
Tho girls that do the actual work OF
bullion embroidery are often native Amer
leans, though the trade is mainly con-
trolled by foreigners, French and German
for the most part. The particular shop
hero indicated is managed by Hebrew,
and the pretty girls visible from tho street
as they lean over their work seem to have
Jewish features. York Sun

AN UNFORTUNATE MODEL.
Tho Minister Meant Well. but Was Un-
familiar With Trade Tricks.

A story is told of minister who is the
principal of q private school for bows in
one of the littlo villages up tho sound.
since tho good man gave up active church
work for tho more lucrative business of
preparing tho sons of wealthy parents for
college he has become moro liberal in his
views and prides himself on being familiar
with modorn thought. 1t is his constant
practice to take his boys out on littlo trips
to lot them see for themselves how the
world is advancing day by day. One of
these recent excursions was to a kindling
wood establishment.
You must excuse this intrusion, my
dear sir, +" said the minister to the supcrin-
tendcnt, but 1 take great interest in
manual training schools, and 1 have per-
suaded number of my scholars to accom-
pany mo to your factory so that they can
sec for themselves just how the wood is
prepared for use.
81 will show you around with the great
est of pleasure, sir, replied the supern-
tondent. THAT young nan you SEQ bun
ding the wood is tho most expert worker
have. He is genius in his way, and
wouldn't part with him for tho world. So
valuable arc his services to mo that in adj
dition to his salary give him share of
the profits"
Hero was such an opportunity for lit
tic sermon that the minister turned to the
scholars and said:
You have heard boys, what the gentle
man has said Let 1t DO lesson to you.
There is always room ut the top of the lad
der, and tho surost way to get there is to
study tho interest of your employers Let
this young man be your model in life.
May 1 ask, SIR" he went on, addressing
the superintendent, Sin what special way
he is so invaluable to your
He's dandy and no mistake" replied
tho superintendent, with great deal of

before him, but he beats them all There
isn't man in tho business who can mako

He Wanted the Best,

A little story which emphasizes tho fact
that thore is a great deal of human nature
whore ono would scarcely expect to dis
cover 1t is told of an old Quaker. Many
years ago, when church organs were re-
garded with disfavor by many people, it
was proposed to introduce one into New
England meeting house, one Of tho pillars
of which was an old man of Quaker blood.
He was one of the most violent oppo-
nents to tho plan and expressed his viows
SO strongly that the person who was COL
lccting money for the organ, when it was
at last decided to have it, did not venture
to call upon the old Quaker for subscrip-
ton.
He met him on tho street one day and
was greatly surprised when the old man
took out n substantial looking wallet and
presented him with most generous sum
to add to his collection.
why" stammered tho young man, ri
i am greatly Obliged, sir, but 1 hardly
thought you would care to bo asked to
contribute"

STUDY OF THE MOON.
Peoula-,tics Noted In Its Appearance at
Different Seasons.

To the casual observer tho motions of
tho moon appear to DO exceedingly whim-
Steal AMI Irregular. If it's place in tho sky
Is watched, it will DO found that 1t is first
north and then south of tho suns path,
md that IL Is sometimes cast and some
times west of that luminary. The last
two motions arc stoady and regular from
east to west, carrying tho moon in it's end
loss swing around the heavens, starting at
new moon near tho sun and progressing
until mt full moon tho whole visible por-
ton of tho sky separates tho two bodies.
After this there are two weeks in which
the moon still appears to move backward,
approaching the sun from the other side;
then, again, apparently all of sudden. 1t
passes the sun, and we behold "new
moon"
The north and south motions of the
moon arc entirely different. While Dor
forming its endless journey from west to
east there are two special periods in which
1t either moves far northwnrd or takes up
It's position low down in tho south. In
spring tho first motion is north, but after
ward the general motion is reversed. In
December you will note that the full moon
occurs Mt tho most northerly point in her
course, and in June mt the most southerly.
This is why we have most light from the
full moon Of winter and least from that of
summer. Observations on these various
movements Indicate to us the path which
tho moon moves about the earth, and also
show us that that body In diforont parts
Of Its orbit is ut varying distances from
the earth.
This indicates that tho moons path is
not circlo, but an ellipse, having the
earth in ono of its fool. The moon being
governed directly and held in position by
tho attraction of the.earth, holds it's pri-
mary movements in path around our
globe, but the attraction energy of the sun
and of tho giant planets, perhaps in u
lessor degreo, produces motions in the
moon which may BIO summarized briefly
as combination of the six following
movements: First, Its revolution about
the earth; second, its revolution with tho
earth about tho sun; third the vibrating
eooentricity of its orbit; fourth, tho slow,
direct rotation in tho cline of apsidcs;'
fifth, the retrograde rotation In tho limo of
nodes, and, sixth, its rotation on its axis.
