Luniolntry Tn China.

Tn China the practice of luniolatry exists at the present day and Is of very early origin. The chief festival. that of Yueping, or moon cakes. is held dur ing the eighth month of the Chinese year. Persons make cakes of various sizes in the shape of the moon and paint different figures upon them. Friends and relatives pay visits to one another, give entertainments and pre- sent their cakes after making protes- tations and pouring out oblations to the moon.
 It is very remarkable that verse of one of the Jewish prophets should be explained by this Chinese custom. "The children gather wood." said the seer. "and the fathers kindle the fire. and the women knead their dough to make cakes to the queen of heaven"

REFLECTIONS.

A wife often permits her affection to blind her reason.
 Regard for petty things often will dwarf mans ambition.
 A woman's love can become annoy ing as well as burdensome.
 Marriage based on honest affection will withstand the ravages of time.
 When woman gives way to anger, she begs her own pardon with tears.
 Many women find happiness only when attending to the affairs of others.
 Confidence Is not easily gained where exaggerated love of self is found to exist.
 To decide between love and duty has caused hours of worry to men as well as to women.
 The man with a vice wonders why so many persons think 1t their duty to make public the fact.
 Man often shows the hard side of his disposition to mark more strongly the generous shades.-Philadelph Bulle- tin,

Colors of Children's Eyes.

It has been conclusively proved that women have larger proportion of brown eyes than men. If in parents the mother has brown eyes and the father blue, the chances are eighty eight to twelve that the girls of the family will be brown eyed. the percent. age in favor of the boys having blue eyes being seventytwo to twenty eight. If the parents have eyes of like color, the chances in favor of the children, both male and female, having eyes of the same color are ninety-two to eight

Carlyle on Novels.

A letter of Carlyle's gives us the opinion of novels entertained by him in the year 1866. Ta a budding story teller he wrote to suggest that she should "shove her own novel well aside for good while or forever and be shy even of reading novels. If she do read, let 1t be good and wise books which not one in 10000 of the kind now called novels is." And yet Carlyle was himself guilty of at least begin ming to writ, . novel

A HoG's MOUTH.
The Way It Enables the Animal e
 Eat Hickory Nuts.

Eat Hickory Nuts.
 People often wonder how 1t is that a hog can get all the kernel out of . hickory nut, or any other kind of nut for that matter, without swallowing any of the she'll" said man from the country, but as matter of fact there s nothing mysterious about the proc. ess. Mind you. hogs don't swallow any of these harder substances. They get rid of them, and then 1t Is just as easy for them to get rid of the shell of a nut as it is for man or squirrel. You might think because a hog crushes the nut into small fragments that he would necessarily swallow a good DOT tion of the hull. But he doesn't do any such thing.
 Tt Is a conceded fact among men who know anything about the subject that the horse Is the most perfectly con- structed animal in the world, consider ing the purposes for which the horse is used and its method and habits in life. But want to put In good word for the hog when 1t comes to the thing of cracking and eating nuts without get ting any of the harder substances into the stomach. The horse has very fine teeth. The back teeth particularly are finely constructed with view of ena- bling the horse to crush Its food well before passing 1t into the stomach. These heavy grinders, heavily set iR the horses jaw. are looked upon as marvels. So they are.
 But what's the matter with the teeth of the hog? What's the matter with that marvellous process by which they separate the kernel of the nut from the hull? It has occurred to me that this is no small achievement, and nature Is at least entitled to some sort of tribute for her skill in making this result possible. In the first place the hogs tongue is more sensitive than would be supposed. and it can easily detect the harder from the softer sub- stances. By some sort of process the hog is able to work the bits of hicko- ry nut hull over to the sides of its mouth, the tongue being used for the purpose. and here they are thrown out at the corners Probably you have mo- ticed that the corners of hogs mouth are somewhat different from the cor ners of the mouths of other animals. The lines of the mouth do not end so pointedly. and hence it is much easier thing for the hog to work the harder substances which he does not care to swallow out through these little opeD- ings."-New Orleans Times Democrat.
