WHEN THE MOON SHINES.
valuable Lessons in Economy Given
by Michigan Father.

My boy" said the old man kindly.
as he poked his head through the back
parlor doorway ABOUT II p. M, where
his prospective son-in-law, Charles.
sat counting Eliza, with the gas turned
on full force, ARE you aware that the
moon is shining brightly this even
ing? Just see," and the old man turned
the gas out. Just observe. my boy.
how the moons yellow rays light up
this room. Truly, it is a glorious
spectacle. But come with me a
moment; have something in the
cellar which / want to show you
Then the old man took his bulls
eye lantern and led the way to the
cellar stairs. closely followed by
Charles.
MY boy" said he softly, as they
reached the cellar, 81 know you love
Eliza with all the strength of your
noble heart, and you love to meet her
often, and let me say that have no
objection whatever to your doing so;
| simply request your presence in this
cellar that | might give you a much
needed and useful lesson in economy.
Observe, young man, the little box
over in that corner" Here he turned
the light of his bull's-eye upon it.
Well, that's gas meter, and every
time that little pointer whirls round
the space of that dial it means 81
nearer the workhouse for me.
That's all, Charles. Now we will
ascend, and hereafter when the moon
is shining you will not forget the
lesson in economy. will you? Re
member, my boy. to meet her by
moonlight costs nothing; but to meet
her by gaslight is quite another affair
Goodnight, Charles. The moon is
still shining brightly, I see.''

Another thing noticed during the
succession of rainy days was that wo-
men are wearing device which holds
their skirts up out of the mud. 1t ia
a silver chain which is hooked to the
left side of the belt, and it Is just
long enough so that the clasp at the
other end of the chain holds the folds
of the skirt clear of the ground. II
women win wear long skirts on rainy
days, they ought to wear these affairs
to keep them up out of the mud.
Shopping bags of ali sorts and de-
scriptions-but mostly elegant silk
ones-are being carried now. The wo-
man who cannot afford a silk one, or
who would rather have something
unique, can make one out of tan silk
shoe strings. They are woven SO that
all the ends come out at the top, and
they are very pretty, especially if they
are silk-lined.

Breaking it Gently.

1t was only short time after Lulu
Virgins married that the startling
truth was forced upon her that her
young husband was not exactly
teetotaler, and one evening short
time after the wedding that strict
cold water crank, Papa Virgins, drop
ped in TO call and found his daughter
alone. After time he asked
Where is Tom?"
well, the fact is, Tom isn't feeling
very well this evening"
rs that so? What seems to be
the matter?"
We'll, er-the fact is-er-Tom is
suffering from bad attack of-of
propinquity.
'Propinquity-p ropinquity," repeat
ed the puzzled old gentleman. That's
a disease, | never heard of. | guess
you must be mistaken, daughter"
"Oh, no, father. Let me explain.
Propinquity means nearness, doesn't
it?"
Il guess So"
And to be near is to be close, isn't
it?"
Em-yes-yes."
And when we speak of a man as
being close we mean that he is
stingy, don't we?"
Sure"
fAnd when man is stingy we call
him tight, don't WEI"

Fads and Fancies.

Some one has said that when a girl
refuses a mar she generally goes to
the window when he leaves expecting
to see him fall up against the nearest
tree and sob. We all know that she is
disappointed. Instead of doing any
thing so weak, he marches proudly
away, without once looking back. and
continues able to sit up and eat FIVE
good square meals a day in spite of
the crushing blow which has been
dealt him.
The rainy weather has brought to
light new fad. Women are carrying
umbrellas which have for handles the
mead OF some animal. The small
wrinkled face Of pug is preferred by
some women, while others are partial
to ordinary watch dogs. The heads are
handsomely carved and mounted with
real glass eyes. and they make very
attractive handles. The correct way

MANY animals of the deep sea are able
TO produce phosphorescent light, so that
although no sunshine ever peneJates so
deep, and many fishes, through centuries
of almost total darkness, have lost t5er
power of sight. there is yet some light
even here If one were able to take his
place on sea cliff two miles below the
ocean level he would probably see thou
sands of queer, glowing, moving lights,
like holes in black darkness, such as
men can not well imagine. Some OF
them would appear like bright points,
fairly clear, while others would be mere
hazy nebulae.
Here in the vast depths, as on the
land, the struggle for life is forever in
progress. the strong preying on the

place in his own depth of water. no
man-made social rule of caste ever kept
the low-born creature in his low-born

deep sea. Water is water, one thinks,
and all of it is therefore free to the
swimming creature. but no fish of the

sive idea of the awful power of the
deep sea.
1t is the belief common among sailors
that a wreck never goes to the bottom:
that it sinks until the pressure of the
water holds it fast, and there, rocking
abou in the shadowy depths, it slowly
dissolves. What food for the imagina-
ton lies in this fleet of the lost navies
of the world, still floating up and down
in the deep, meeting and passing in ST.
lenCe, no voice ever calling through the
dark, no sail ever rising to the breeze.
Kipling has voiced this idea in one of
his poems:
THE wrecks dissolve above US; their
dust drops down from afar-
Down to the dark, the utter dark,
where the blind white sea snakes
are"
/ 1t is unfortunate, however, that the
poetic view is not the scientific view.
Anything that will sink in a glass of
water" says Sir John Murray, will
practically sink to the bottom Of the
deepest sea"
/ Murray points out that water is one
OF the most incompressible of sub
stances" that although the pressure may
/ be enormous at the ocean bottom, the
water is only very little more dense
/ than at the surface. And yet the COM
preston is sufficient, so that II it were
