PLEASANT PROSPECT.
Astronomers Say the Moon Is Getting
Ready to Fall.

Ready TO calI'
It is not likely to happen just yet
awhile, but many astronomers are pre-
pared for the fall of the moon at dis
tant date.
1t is probable that eventually the
moon will be drawn well within the
sphere of attraction of the earth. AT
present she is just far enough off to be
kept in tow, so to speak, and to whirl
round and round us as well as spin
herself.
But when the inevitable time comes,
and she is drawn far into the attrac-
ton radius, she Is likely to be pulled
right down and fall onto the earth, for
her attraction is, of course, much
weaker than ours. She Is in more dan
ger of this at one time than another,
and the danger is increasing gradually
but surely. 1t may be 10000 or $4,000
years yet, but when she does fall there
will certainly be a terrific bump, and
the whole system of the earth will be
badly jolted.
1t is calculated that, taking the most
dangerous epoch of the year into con-
sideration and her consequent position,
she is likely to fall on the northeastern
part of Europe, and will entirely wipe
Russia and Germany from the map.
Tidal waves and all sorts of horrors
will occur, and the fallen moon will
probably break up. The entire climate
Of the world will be altered, and Eng,
land will probably be more or less i'm.

LAW AS INTERPRETED,

Marriage on the high seas, where
there Is no law regulating the matter,
entered into by persons who went there
with the avowed purpose of evading
the laws of their residence, is held, in
Norman VS.. Norman (Cal), AZ L. r. A..
343, to be invalid.
The right to shoot at a person who is
merely running away from an officer to
escape from arrest for misdemeanor,
is denied in Brown VS.. Weaver (Miss.),
AZ L. r. A. 423, and, if the officer does
shoot wrongfully, it is held to be an
official act covered by his bond.
A statute which, although expressed
In general terms, enumerates restric-
tions which constitute indentifcation,
rather than classification, and is apple
able only to a single highway improve
ment, is held, in re Henneberger IN. W,
AZ L. r. A. 132, to be in violation of a
constitutional provision against local
laws.
To picket the premises of a person
boycotted, In order to intercept his
teamsters or to prevent persons going
there to trade, is held unlawful In Beck
VS.. Railway Teamsters' Protective
Union (Mich.), AZ L. II. A. 407, on the
ground that it is an act of intimidation
and an unreasonable interference with
the right of free trade.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are SO taught
There Is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets 1t.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina.
tion; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
r. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became SO poor that I
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. I was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. I was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per.
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as I
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
good color. l am completely cured Of
irregularity."

Surprised.

An old clergyman who had held n
cure in remote country district for
the greater part of his life had occa-
sion, relates contemporary, to consult
his bishop on certain matter. and. in
answer to his letter, received an invita-
tion to the palace, where he would
have to stay all night. For forty or
hfty years he had practically led the
life of a recluse, and 1t was after much
cogitation that he decided to take the
Journey to the farther end Of the dio-
cese, where the bishop lived. He ar
rived just In time for o'clock tea, a
meal to which he was complete
stranger. After tea the bishop asked
MIN to accompany him to eyensong.
When they returned to the house the
bishop, remarling that 1t was quite
time they went upstairs, lighted a can
Ole, and showed his guest to his room.
1t was then just o'clock; the old cler-
gyman thought 1t was rather early to
retire, but. admlring the bishop for
such simple habits, he prepared for bed.
lie had just put out the light and lain
down to sleep, wishing he had eaten a
little more tea, when booming noise
rang through the house. Quick as
thought he sprang from his bed, and.
shouting Fire" at the top of his voice.
rushed out on to the landing just in
time to meet the bishop, with some 9th
er guests, going down to dinner.

l strove to draw my father aside; l
must speak to him. Did they mean to
make me shoot my own father? 1t was
impossible. My father embraced me,
and, handing me my gun, pushed me
back into the ranks.
"Silencew he said. "You cannot
speak under arms. In the presence of
the enemy you are not my son. You

They gave us the cartridges taken
from our wounded. My father counted
fifteen PAGES from the walls Of the
farmhouse and ordered us in line.
Then, in solemn voice, with uplifted
hand, he went through the details of
the exercise.

The gun dropped from my hands.

into his arms. He tenderly whispered:
"My son, these raw recruits fire bad

thou promise?
l saw the dawn whiten behind the
city, above the roof where my mother
slept. Without doubt my father read
my thoughts, for, taking my head in
his hands. he said: "For thy mothers
sake" Then he placed himself against
the wall, while the foreign officers stood
with barred heads.
"Attention!' commanded my father.
Then he went through the exercise
slowly, ordering the drill as calmly as
though he were on parade. At last he
cried "Firer'

The field marshal ordered the wound
ed to be attended to, and, stepping in
front of my father, demanded the flag.
My father, whose hands we saw were
empty, declared he did not know where
it was. The field marshal turned to the
officer Of the post and said:
"Very well, If he does not remember
by tomorrow morning, shoot him."
When they had relieved us of our
arms, and placed us under guard, my
father, who watched the sentinel from
the corner of his eye, told us that he
had hidden the flag; that, seeing the day
was going against us, he had torn it
from its standard, wrenched the eagle
from its perch, flung 1t into ditch,
