Peculiarities Noted In Its Appearance NJ
Different Seasons.
To the casual observer the motions of
the moon appear to be excesdingly whim
sical and irregular. II ite place in the sky
is watched 1t will be found that 1t is first
north and then south Of the suns path,
and that 1t is sometimes east and some-
times west of that luminary. The last
two motions are steady and regular from
east to west, carrying the moon in Its end
less swing around the heavens, starting at
new moon near the sun and progressing
until at full moon the whole visible por-
tion Of the sky separates the two bodies.
After this there arc two weeks in which
the moon still appears to move backward,
approaching 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 per
forming its endless journey from west to
east there are two special periods in which
1t either moves far northward or takes up
It's position low down In the south. In
spring the first motion Is north, but after
ward the general motion is reversed. In
December you will note that the full moon
occurs at tho 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. Observations on these various
movements indicate TO us the path 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 ellipse, having the
earth in one Of Its foci. The moon being
governed directly and held in position by
the attraction Of the earth, holds its pri-
mary movements in path around our
globe, but the attraction energy Of tho sun
and Of the giant planets, perhaps in u
lesser degree, produces motions in the
moon which may be summarized briefly
as combination Of the six following
movements: First, its revolution about
the earth second, it's revolution with the
earth about the sun; third, the vibrating
eccentricity Of its orbit; fourth, the slow,
direct rotation in the cline of apsides;"
fifth, the retrograde rotation in the line Of
nodes, and SIXTH it's rotation on its axis.

One American Habit Praised.

Well, it is thought, might we follow ths|
example set us by our American oousinsI
in the naming of our ships-of-war. Ths]
result of many Of the new ships of theI
United States navy receiving the namesI
of American towns, it is observed, hasI
been that the Inhabitants OF those ,towns|
arc taking the liveliest interest in theI
ships their officers and crews and in ALL
their doings. In some cases the towns
havo gone SO far as to present the ships|
bearing their names with handsome serv-I
ices of plate for the officers mess. Ourl
naval authorities, 1t is strongly felt, might
do worse than to stimulate the interest oil
some of our great inland towns in the1
navy by bestowing their names on ships, I

upon such rs carry no particular INTEREST,"

A Surprise.

Andrew d. White says that when bel

diplomatic reception, presented his prin-I
cipal secretaries to the other ninisters.l
Among the secretaries was a tall, flne|
looking man, evidently European,I
dressed in a superb court costume and cov-l
cred with gold lace. AS his Chinese ool-|
league introduced him to Mr.. White inl
German the conversation was continued
in that language, when suddenly thisI

was hard to believe that the pretty little|
village of Waterloo, or even Rochester,f
with oil the added power Of Its noble uni
versity, should have been able to develop
creature so gorgeous. 1t turned out thatl

The fams u simpls davice Of hard wood,
enlarged or reduced in accordance with the
needs Of the particular piece Of work In
hand. The embroiderers are usually girls,
often very young, though the design ers arc
sometimes mon. Embroidery designing is
not a very difaoult business, because little
originality Is demanded, sinoe the trade
has we'll established traditions and there
ore plenty Of books to guide the designer.
There are no new designs to be made In
Masonic, military or naval emblems, and
even the myriad ahsoting clubs Of the Ger
man quarter are not likely to require any
thing that will demand great ingenuity OF
the embroidery designer.
The 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
here indicated Is managed by Hebrew,

The NEW COUPLE

She was rev and was constructed on the latest
modern plan,
But she lost her heart like others, and of
course. twas lost to man;
So at last the two were married, and they
started married life
AS they Thought, equipped and ready we'll
prepared Tor any strife.
She was posted on his business quite as thor.
oughly as he;
She had studied all the Details and, as anyone
could see,
She could run his shop or office; and it also
teemed quite clear
She could act rs his bookkeeper or could serve
as his cashier
She could sell goods on commission, or could
buy Oh thirty days;
She was sharper than most merchants in all
proper business ways;
She could take from his dictation, and die
tate to Others. too;
There was nothing round the Office that she
really couldn't do.
So they thought they were well armored for
life OF great success
But the outcome OF their trial was a failure
more or less,
They are doomed TO boarding houses, and
regretfully they roam,
For, while both can run the office, neither ono
can Nsks home.

BULLION EMBROIDERY.
Little Shops Wherc Uniforms Are Made
Gorgeous with Gold.

One sees from tho sidewalk OF quiet
street cast of Third avenue big basement
shop where two or three girls arc bending
over we'll worn embroidery frames. The
samples of their work displayed in the win
dow show that they arc making bullion
embroidery to decorate the coats or caps OF
military officers, policemen and others
whose trades or professions require uni
forms. There is less to be done in the bull
lion embroidery trade in this city than in
most old world cities, but there Is con-
stant and growing demand for the handi-
work of the bullion embroide-ors, 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 the proprietor Is sometimes woman.
