How She Knew.

A little girl six years old was on q
visit to her grandfather, who was q
New England divine celebrated for
his logical powers.
"only think, grandpa, what Uncle
Robert says"
"What docs he say, my dcar?"
"Why, he says the moon is made OF
green cheese. It isn't at all, is it?"
"well, child, suppose you find out
for yourself"
"IIow can I, grandpa?"
"Get your Bible and see what It says"
"Where shall / begin?"
"Begin at the beginning"
The child sat down to read the Bible.
Before she got more than half through
the second chapter of Genesis, and had
read about the creation of the stars
and the animals, she came back to her
grandfather, her eyes all bright with
the excitement of discovery. "Pve
found it, grandpa. 1t isn't true; for
God made the moon before he made
cows. "-Philadclphi American.

A WRITER In an English weekly
draws attention to the superiority Of
French over English laws in the case
of drunkards and spendthrifts In En-
gland, as in this country, man may
pursue the most reckless courses and
dissipate not only his own property
but that Of those dependent on him,
while the ones interested can obtain
no help from the law. In France the
Bpendthrift who endangers the we'll be-
ing Of his family finds himself face to
face with the family council, which is
armed with full legal powers to put
him on an appropriate allowance and
manage his property.

Morierer, aged ten years, who was Wis.,
iting the family, were found in the
ruins of the building. 1t Is supposed
that the family was murdered, and the

principal evidence leading to this belief
Is the fact that, though the girls face
was only slightly burned the back of

that she was struck by some such in
strument as an AK. The heads Of two
OF the bodies were not found. Mr.. AIDE

cred rich man by the truck gardeners
