Low Tide When the Moon Rises or Sets


There is one point in the Chesapeake
bay where the tide has definite period
to change, and that is the mouth of
Hoopers strait, half way between the
Capes. at its mouth, and Turkey point,
at its head. 1t is always low tide at
Hoopers strait when the moon rises or
sets. At the same time it is high tide
at Sandy point, up the bay, and at New
point, mouth of York river, at the same
moment, and at every point below the
York river and out at the Capes it is
ebb tide at the same time, and at every
point from New Point Comfort to
Hoopers strait it is flood tide at that
time, and at every point between Sandy
point and Hoopers strait it is ebb tide
at that time, or when the moon rises or
sets, and at all points above Sandy point
it is flood tide, even to the head of tide
water in every tributary of the bay
above Sandy point.-Baltimore Ameri-

Possible Decay of the French Cuisine.


The tendency in all the French res
taurants of the present day is to pre-
pare meals for their chance customers
who may happen in at any time of the
day. Meals are eaten in greater hurry
than formerly, even in France, where
it used to be the habit during the
fiercest revolutionary and communistic
struggles when the time of dejeuner
came for each side to stop fighting for
an hour or so and devote themselves to
the midday meal. The hurry and anx-
iety of modern life are slowly destroying
whatever was distinctive III French
cooking, which cannot be properly done
in haste or when food is required III
very large quantities.
The development of club life is partly
responsible for this, and the latter is
only another sign Of the deep lying So
cial problems which confront modern
existence at every step. Men in fash
ionable society dine more frequently at
the club than they DO at their own
homes. Fewer people marry than for
merly. Home life is decreasing and club
life increasing. Hence the last refuge
of the Partisan chef is at the fashion
able clubhouses, which are now counted
by the score, and most of which set
very good tables. -Chautauquan.

The Only Agency.

No law can be efficient which has not
the general support of the people. The
only hope must rest upon the change to
be effected in individuals. The only
agency which can do this is the gospel
1t and it alone makes such an alteration
in the hearts of men as causes them to
hate evil and love righteousness. Here
must q beginning be made by every one
who seeks to elevate his fellow man. -
Episcopal Recorder.

bracelets Once More.

A great hope is being cherished that
women are inclining to bracelets once
more. This seems not improbable. The
decree has gone forth that sleeves are to
be scarcely below the elbow. This being
true there is considerable expanse left
for ornament, for the gloves cannot be
always worn. In any case bracelets are
cheaper than gloves, and women, though
ON pleasure bent, still have frugal minds

It is difficult to tell the exact length

are from quarter to half inch, though
when accidentally stepped on this length
seems to be multiplied by 100. A pound

The Right.

In the economy of God no effort, how
ever small, put forth for the right cause
fails of it's effect. No voice, however
feeble, lifted up for truth ever dies amid
the confused noise of time. Through
discords of sin and sorrow, pain and
wrong, it rises, deathless melody
whose notes of wailing are hereafter to
be changed to'those of triumph, as they
blend with the great harmony of recon-
ciled universe.

Mozart was very small, being only a

was thin, and the size of his nose was

long and done up in cue, according to
the custom of his day. His mouth was
small and his face clean shaven.
