Influence of the Moon.

Many people suppose that moonlight pos
sesscs great potency and has wonderful
influence ON or over animate and inanim ate
things on our planet Such persons should
remember that moonlight is only reflected
sunlight, and that the quality and quantity
of the light thus reflected is not what is
generally imagined. In fact, 1T is truth
which has often been demonstrated by the
speculative astronomers that il would take
61S.0oO full moons Ia afford an amount
Of light equal to that emitted by the sun:
ard, Furthermore, there is only sky space
for 70 ZOO such discs. Flammarion says
that the amount of heat emitted by full
moon while at the zenith cannot be more
than one ceighty-thousandth of the amount
that the sun supplies when standing ON the
meridian On n favorable day in July--Chi-

Charity TO robust, idle people is bribe

gars and adds to the hue and cry that
we have a vast number of unemployed. A
professional can tell a more narrowing tale
OF want than the person actually in need,

Now let "workrooms for unskilled wo-
men, be established TO give opportunity
for INDECENT females to earn garments and
articles of necessity. There would prac-
tically be little or no expense attached to
the maintenance of these charitable cIi-
terprises, and when once in running order
they would result in great good.

claims, permit me through your influential
journal to give reasons for presenting the

Cabinet.
In loyalty to Republican PRINCIPLES, in
faithful and devoted work in the halls of
ton of the ReIsiblican cause, both through
the press and upon the stump, in his own
State and at the call of the national

1900, and the last day OF this Decem-

convince any one that the beginning

BIG DEATH LIST EXPECTED.
Intense Suffering Caused by Cold
Wave in Northwest.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. l-Great suffering
has been caused by the intense cold weather
prevailing in the storm-swept districts Of
the Northwest and the list of fatalities is ex-
pected to be increased unless milder weather
sets in.
At Moorhead, Mimi, Thomas Anderson,
after assisting a woman to her home, tried
to reach his own, but perished. and now lies
buried in the drifts.
At Fargo, N. D., Frank Vach of Chicago
was frozen on the prairie mile from town.
At Church Ferry, N. D., trainman at
tempting to get help for train load OF cat
tie was frozen stiff Ten carloads OF sheep,
destined for Chicago, were frozen at Grand
Harbor. Devils lake.
The November which has just closed is the
coIdest known in the northwest in fifteen
years. Snow fell ON the 4th of the month,
and has not since disappeared. There is
great suffering on the stock ranges, and
thousands of cattle and sheep will perish if
the weather continues cold.
Reports from the railways indicate tnat
they are running nearly on time again; Sub
zero temperatures are reported all over
Minnesota and the Dakotas.
