An old bachelor recently bought a
pair of socks. There was nothing
very strange about this, but what
makes the occasion worthy of note
was the fact that he found in the toe
of one of them a slip of paper on which
was written: II am young lady of
twenty and would like to correspond
with a bachelor with a view to matri-
mony," and signed the address of the
young lady. After due deliberation
our friend concluded to write to the
socks maker. In a few days he got
an answer to his letter: II was mar
ried five years ago last Christmas"

The Harvest Moon.

In September, the harvest moon
rises for five or six nights at just
about the same time, as if it had come
to a standstill This odd habit was
noticed in old times, long before it
was known why. 1t was found to be
right handy for getting in the crops
in warm countries, before the ten
hour law was ever thought of, so
they called it the harvest moon.
And in just the same way, the
"hunter's moon" has a habit of rising
several nights the following month,
at about the same hour. In old times,
when they lived very much by the
chase, it was so convenient to hunt
by, that it soon got its rustic name,
by which it is known to this day.
