ODD MOON BELIEFS.
The Orb Of Night az Food For the
Immortal Gods. .a.t 81 y

The Orb Of Night as Food For the
immortal Gods. -. ?
Certain it is that belief in the moon
as the abode Of the fathers was widely
spread among the people speaking the
Aryan languages. TO the present day
the peasants in Swabia are heard to
say, May go to the moon if | did it,"
instead Of May die il did it," Nay,
people who work on the Sabbath day
are threatening even now that they
will go to the moon-that is, that they
will die and be punished in the moon.
A more startling idea-peculiar, it
would seem, to India-:was that of the
moon serving as the food of the gods.
And yet, though it sounds strange to
US, it was not so very unnatural an
idea after all. The gods, though invisi-
BILE, had been located in the sky. In
the same sky the golden moon, often
compared to a round of golden butter,
was seen regularly to decrease. And
If it were being consumed by anybody
by whom could it be consumed if not
by the gods? Hence the ready conclu-
sion that it was so and that it was, in
fact, this food which secured to the
gods their immortal life.
If so much had once been granted,
then came the question, How was the
moon gradually increased and restored
to its fullness? And here the old su-
perstition came in that the souls of the
departed entered the moon, so that the
waxing Of the moon might readily be
accounted for by this more ancient ar
hcle of faith. Hence the systematized
belief that the moon wanes while it is
being eaten by the gods and that it
wakes while it is being filed by the
departed souls entering it. A last con-
clusion was that the gods when feed
ing on the moon were really feeding on
the souls Of the departed

THE END.

Lord Chamberlain and the High Com
missioner of the Royal Candlestick, all
thought and thought. This was their
prerogative. The rest of the Court was
not allowed to think.
Being unused to extensive and con-
tinued thinking, the High Commission
er Of the Royal Candlestick was first
to give it up. The Queen followed. The
hardest thinker was the King himself,
and he didn't give it UP till the very
last.
And when he did. and Tafistik ex-
planned to the breathless court that
a door is not a door when it is a-jar.
the King tumbled off his throne with
laughter.
Forty-three lackeys and seventeen
gentlemen in waiting picked him up
Immediately; but he continued to laugh
SO hard that he fell off again the mo-
ment he was put on.
Unhappily he had just filled himself
royalty full of a modest repast consist
ing OF turtle soup. venison pasty. pig
con pie, roast beef, deviled kidneys
ham and eggs. jellied cells. beefsteak
and mushrooms, lobster. and corned
beef and cabbage; and when he laugh
ed so excessively, he developed a terri
BILE pain in his Utmost interior.
The Royal Court Physician and the
Royal Court Pill Purveyor and the
Royal Court Plaster were at once call
ed in consultation. but they could do
nothing, for the King would only roar

with your eyes shut"
They were all very hungry so they
gave their promise, and Ca Boo-ug
gave them the meat he had hidden
away.
All of the monkeys kept the promise
not to speak except one and he was
the littlest of them all. and. of course.
like all babies, he wanted to see. So
he opened one eye and peeped out.
Then he cried out and said:
oh, see what I have found! Hero
is the little finger of my little brother
Ca Matsin!''
Then all of the monkeys opened their
eyes and found out what they had
been eating.
When they discovered that Ca Boo
ug had killed a member of their fam
lily, the monkeys were very angry, and
they held a conference to determine
what they should do TO punish him.
But when they looked around to find
him, Ca Boo-ug was gone
For as soon as Ca Boo-ug saw what
had happened he hid under a piece of
cocoanut shell that was lying on the
ground. The monkey who was lead
ing the conference was sitting on the
cocoanut shell. but. of course, he did
rot know that Ca Boo-ug was under
meath. So he called out, where's "a
Boo-ug? Where's Ca Boo-ug?"
And Ca Boo-ug answered, 100: Ooi
90" But they could not find him.
Then the monkey called out again,
Where's Ca Boo-uE? Where's ca
Boo-ug?" and ca Boo-ug answered
again. 90, 90! Co.,"

on his staff. The Court Jester got a
small salary carefully administered at
rare intervals; and for the rest, he
was permitted to say anything that
he liked.
The Court testers name was Taft
silk. He had a hard position. for it
was his duty to make King Sourgloom-
er laugh at least five times every day.
Whenever he failed in doing this, the
Royal Court Marshal would send him
to bed without any supper, which is
annoying to a Court Jester, who is
supposed to see something funny in
everything
Poor Taffistik went to bed supper
less many times for the King had a
face that looked exactly like a broken
heart. His mouth hung down at both
the western and eastern corners and
was set in that position as If it had
been nailed down with the best wire
nails. His eyebrows were raised in d
melancholy arch, the way Saint Ber-
nard dog looks when you step on his
tall and his eyes were as expressive
as the dead lights in a sidewalk.
However Taffistik sometimes man.

First laugh all over; and at last he
did II once too often.
That was when Taffistik advanced to
the King at a banquet and asked him
that exquisite conundrum: when, OH
Sire, is door not a door,"
The King and the Queen and the

go to meddling, perhaps we would
have to hunt up some lost lakes or
mountains. Good-day to you, tanner,
and also to that fat and red-cheeked
son of yours.
The story about the lost river did
not interest the tanner at ALL and was
soon forgotten by him, but it was not
so with Hans.
He drank in every word of it, and
when he reached home he sat down
under the plum tree in the back yard
to think it all over After an hour
he got up and went over to the house
of neighbor named Vogle.
The Vogles had a daughter named
Yuly, who was a year younger than
Hans. Like him, she was fat and red
checked, and wore wooden shoes. Hans
and Yuly had long been great friends,
and when either of them had a bit of
news, they always hurried over to tell
it to the other.
On this day, when he had found Yuly
Smelling peas in the kitchen, Hans
said:
'Yuly, do you believe that river
can be lost?"
"Of course not" she replied. "A
river is there to stay, and how can it
run away?"
But to-day 1 have heard of a river
which lost itself, and Capt Myers told
my father he believed the story"
Then Hans went on and related the
tale as he had heard it, and Yuly
stopped Smelling peas to listen with

laughing loudly at his brothers antics.

was tempted to battle in the fountain
myself. but l must not now. Some
body must be old enough to sail the
skip back to Bagdad."
Tinbad and Wiling Whang wanted TO
remain on the island. but their big
brother commanded them to follow
him. They returned to the ship, where
the sailors marveled to see two fresh
faced little boys instead of the decrepit
old man and the stalwart youth who
had gone ashore with Sinbad.
The ship set sail for home, and after
sailing a year reached the port of Bas-
sorah, where Sinbad and his little
brothers took camels and Travelled TO
Bagdad Sinbad was warmly received
by the good King Haroun al Raschid,
who listened with establishment to the
marvellous adventures that they had
encountered. Though Sinbad did not

But this time they found where he
was. Then they all said, What shall
we do to punish him?"
Lets put fire on his back" said
one.
"Aha" cried Ca Boo-ug, that's
nothing! Just look at my back. it's
as hard as stone. Why, I've had fire
on my back lots of times and it didn't
hurt me at all!'
When the monkeys found that it
didn't hurt Ca Boo-ug to put fire on
his back, they concluded to try some
thing else.
Lets put him in rice mortar and
pound him!" said another.
"Ahal" laughed Ca Boo-ug again,
that's nothing! Why, I've been put
in a rice mortar and pounded lots of
times, but l don't mind it at all. That
doesn't hurt mel"
So the monkeys decided they would
have to find some other way to pun
ish Ca Boo-ug.
IN tell you" suggested a wise one
Lets throw him in the pond and
drown HIM"
"Boo-hoo" cried Ca Boo-ug. don't
do that! oh, that would kill me
Don't do that! Boo-hoo!"
OF course when the monkeys
thought that Ca Boo-ug didn't want
to be thrown in the pond, that was
just the thing they wanted to do with
him. So they picked him up and
threw him out into the water just as
far as they could.
To their great surprise and chagrin

father said to the mother:
Il really don't know what has come
over our boy Hans in the past few
days. He acts so dumpish that I'm
afraid he's going to be SICK
Hans was feeling right enough, but
he was thinking and planning, and at
the end of three or four days he went
back to Yuly and said:
"Yuly, you said that you would like
to travel and see that lost river"

Then come with me. / shall not

The boat soon grated on the sand.
Wiling hang led the way toward the
fountain They saw young people on
the island, but paid no attention to
them. Tinbad ran forward, out of
breath his long beard floating behind
him.

At the edge of the basin of spark
ling water they stood and caught hold
of Tinbad. The old man was nearly
exhausted from rapid running. Sin
bad and Wiling Whang lifted him up
and dropped him into the water.
They did not notice that the foun-
tain was very deep until they saw Tin
bad sink to the bottom. In the clear
water they saw his white hair and
beard turn to black, and his shrunken
limbs I'LL out with the plumpness of
youth.
Rejoice. oh brother!" said VIKING
Whang to Sinbad; for our aged
brother is young again"
But what good will his youth do
him if he drowns?' replied Sinbad.
See, He does not rise
L must save HIM" exclaimed
Wiling Whang.
The Whaler instantly threw off his
jacket and leaped into the fountain.
Sinbad beckened to Nebo to stand
ready to pull Tinbad out. At that mo-
ment Tinbad turned over, so that Sin
bad saw his face. 1t was without a
beard
Wiling Whang dived through the
crystal water and clased Tinbad in his
hands Then, springing upward, they
came to the surface. But Tinbad was
limp and almost drowned. so that
Wiling Whang could not lift him out.

when Animals Are Passengers.

American railroads have almost as
many different kinds of cars for car
rying animals as they have cars for
passengers.
One kind of car that is used for
shipping horses is known technically
as a palace horse car, and, excepting
for fine woodwork and brasswork, it is
palace car, giving horses fine accom-
modations.
E@ch horse has his own stateroom,
so to speak, for the car is fitted with
independent stalls. Each stall has
manger and water trough. and over
head are the racks for holding exc
feed.
Sheep and hogs are often carried in
cars with two stories. These are
known as double deckers, and the an
finals are shipped in both stories. They
have room to lie down in and water is
supplied to them from pipes.
Horses and cattle are sidetracked
at intervals If the cars are making
long run, and the beasts are led out
and allowed to run around for exer-
else. Then they are driven back to
their cars and resume the journey.
Sheep are often unloaded within a
few miles of their destination and
turned loose to rest and feed until
they are in good flesh. This is not done
merely from motives of humanity II
has been found that the sheep are so
much improved by 1t that they bring
higher prices when they reach the
market.

Yuly was much interested in the lost
river. but she said she would not run
away from home, and Hans was vexe1
with her and put his hands into his
pockets again and went home. When
week had gone by without his seeing
her. Yuly went to his house and said:
Hans, I am all the time thinking
about that river and where it leads to.
If we should run away and go in
search of it. do you think we could
find it?"
"Of course we could" he answered.
"And what would we do for food"
Take bread with u.s.
And WHARF would we Sleep"

They Decide to Seek Lost River.

One day, when Hans Britterman,
son of the German tanner, was about
IL years old, he went with his father
down to the canal to assist in unload
ing lot of hides. After the work had
been finished, the captain of the boat
said to the tanner:
stop for awhile and I will tell you
a strange story. Three days ago 1
met man who lives many miles be-
yond the other end of this canal. In
the country where he makes his home
there is river which has lost itself.
Don't you call that queer thing?"
Il surely do" replied the father
of Hans. How can it be that a river
has lost itself? Are you making fun
of me?"
mot at all, old friend. The river
starts up among the mountains and
