VALUE or CHANGE.
Revival Of Old Adage; Change Of Pas-

A truth very generally recognized BY
Colorado pioneers IL expressed Ia more
learned form by the Medical Review.
II says
The Quasl-mlrnculous benefits which
are associated with change OF air in
the popular belief are In reality de-
rived when they accrue srom change Of
environment and change OF habits Of
life In a great many instances the
measure Of benefit obiainable would be
as enectually secured, and at much
less expense. By mere change Of habits,
without the fatigue and Inconvenience
Of a change OF domicile. The over
wrought city clerk might advantage
ously take to driving a cab, while the
cabman would find It a relief to dis
charge for time the functions OF a
caretaker Of a deserted house. Many

rienco a distinct improvement were he

lend itself TO that pursuit. The literary
gent whose brain Is sterile OF new
ideas might recuperate his energies by
usurping the role OF a sick man and
remaining In bed for a week or two"
The change Of habit involved in the
long journey across the plains, by the
ox-team method. together With en-
forced exposure to air and sunshine,

Of weak lungs that are credited up TO

good, but the change Of habit is also
good. Change is rest" loses nothing

THE ORIGIN OF FAIRIES.
Many Legends Connected With Their
Existence.

GNiNkgUIEs
The fairies are considered by arch
eologlsts as the heirs and descendants
of the inferior pagan divinIties, good
and evil. The demigods and demons
were reduced to this condition when
heathenism was outwardly brought
to an end. However, the popular be-
lief is that the fairies were those
angels who. at Luclfers revolt. did
not openly join him, but felt kind of
sympathy with his wicked aspirations.
When the rebel angels were precipl-
tated into hell these cowardly spirits
fell no farther than the earth.
on which they are to remain
till the day of judgment, UNI
certain during the whole time
whether they are TO be pardoned
or condemned. The Irish fairies arc
the spirits Of the Daanan Druid chiefs,
who after their death took possession
Of the chief subterranean caves
throughout the kingdom, and con
tinued according to their good or evil
dispositions, to succor or injure the
descendants Of the AIilesians, by
whom they had been dispossessed.

The Moon and Dad seasons.

The state astronomer of New South
Wales has recently shown a remarka-
bic relation between the good and bad
seasons of Australia and the moons
position. There is a lunar cycle Of
nineteen years or, to be more precise.
Of 6939.69 days. That is to say. after
nineteen years the tines Of new and
full moon come over again almost ex-
actly as before. Mr.. Russells official
observations for three periods of nine
teen years show that rain comes in
times in abundance when the moon is
in certain degrees of her motion south.
and when the moon begins to go north
the droughty conditions prevail for sew
en- or eight years, which" says the
astronomer, sis either a marvellous CO
incidence Or is a law connecting the
two phenomena" and the latter he be-
lieves, is the case. The first bad year
Of the present cycle was in 1895, and
the drOughts have persisted to such a
terrible extent that from 1895 to 1900
25,OOO,OOO sheep have died of starva-
tion in the commonwealth. But the law
doesn't work so well elsewhere.
