RULED BY THE MOON.
Odd Beliefs by Dutch Farmers Of North Car.
oIlna.


county are among North Carroll
mas most prosperous and mos
interesting people. They liv
well, save money and improve il
every way. Thrift is vlrtu
with them. They are great be
levers in signs and old savings
They do things by the moon.
Before building a worm fence
the Dutch always watch the moon
says the Charlotte IN. c. Obser.
yer. 1t must be right or the
fence will sink into the ground.
The bottom rail must be put down
when the little moon Is turned up
so that it will not sink into the
ground. To prove that this is
the right sort of doctrine let a
person make an experiment with
two bricks. Put down one while
the little moon is up and the other
while it is down, and it will be
noticed that the one laid when the
moon was down will go into the
ground and that the other will re.
main as left.
If one would cover his house
we'll he must make the boards
when the little moon is turned
down. That is easy. The boards
will keep their shape if rived then.
But, on the other hand, if made
while the little moon Is turned up
the boards will cup up at the ends
when exposed to the weather. l
have seen many board turn up
at the end, but never knew what
did it till now.
The moon must be right when
a Dutchman kills his hogs If
the hogs are killed when the little
moon is on the decrease the meat
will shrink, but if killed when the
little moon is on the increase it
will swell.
To have good turnips one must
plant on lsrael's day-that is in
August. If corn is planted when
the little moon points up the ears
will grow too near the top. The
ear gets more nourishment near
the ground.
No work is done on Ascension
day, 1t is day of rest aud pleas.
ure, If the first visitor to home
that day is man all the eggs that
are setting will hatch roosters; it
a woman, pullets will prevail.
Therefore a man is an unwelcOme
guest early in the morning on
Ascension day.
1t is not right to carry out the
ashes between Christmas and
New Years day. That brings
Dad luck.
II a farmer puts out manure or
fertilizer when the little moon
points up it will stay, but if the |
little moon points down it will |
leach out.
There are thousand and one
OF these signs and sayings if they
could be collected. Many of them
are met in other than Dutch com.
munities.

BRITISH OPINION or BATTLE,
Regard Complete Japanese Victory as
 Assured.


 London. Oct. 14.-The London papers have to rely mainly upon official re- ports for news of the Far East; but on dispatches thus far received they re- gard a complete Japanese victory as assured and editorialize entirely from this point of view. Says the Daily Telegraph: General Kuropatkin has shot his bolt. It seemed to be speed ing we'll towards the mark, yet has missed it badly. He has suffered not merely a repulse, but a disastrous de- feat, while Japans incomparable army under incompatible generals have add ed another glorious page to their chron- licle of war and proved that oyama is still Kuropatkdn's master in every branch os the art of war;
 The Daily Graphic describes General Kuropatkin's move as a gamblers throw" and considers that the frank seems to speak the language of a man who has done his best with the bung- I ling advice of some superior agency. The Standard finds General Kuropat- kin'a dispatch full of tragic meaning, while the Daily News arguea that the Russian dash southward was prompted by desperate desire to relieve Port Ar- l thur rather than to Viceroy Alexiefs's s malign influences, the end of which, in ! case of the fall of the fortress, cannot < be far distant.
 Spencer Wilkinson, in the Morning Post, discussing strategic possibilities, l thinks the issue will turn upon which side shall first become exhausted by the protracted operations. 'Telegrams, 2 he l.says, "do not reveal the final decision, but they certainly do not point to the scales turning in Russia's favor. It re- mains to be seen whether either army kept large reserves ready to throw in when 1t becomes apparent that the forces engaged have become exhausted.
 Tn this condition MT. Wilkinson ai- dudes to the report current last week I that the Japanese had strong force west of the Hun river and says that If the Japanese could utilize such a force now it would probably force the retreat of the whole Russian army.

W4LIIScronD WOMAN, SUICIDE
Take. carbolie Acid on steps of
 HoteI-was Despendent.


 waIlingford, Oct. B.-Mrs. Florence Rima. wife of Burdette Rima. swallow ed a large dose of carbolic acid tonight on the steps of the WaIlingford hotel, and died few minutes later in the office of Dr. c. F. Webb. She was twenty-six years old and worked with her husband at the town farm. This afternoon she came to the village and met a friend. Harry Munroe. who in- vited her and her husband to take din- ner at the Wallingford hotel. Rima did not reach there until nearly o'clock tonight, and after he had been there for a few minutes his wife left the ho- tel, saying she was going for short walk. Going direct to Isbell's drug store, she purchased a small bottle of carbolic acid. saying she wanted 1t for a wash. Mrs. Rima went back to the hotel, and found her husband had step- ped out. She again started out of the building and when she reached the steps she said Good bye to Munroe and swallowed the contents of the bottle. Munroe and hotel employe tried to knock the bottle from her hand, but were too late. Mrs. Rima fell to the ground and was soon taken to pr. Webb's office, but she died in a few moments. Despondency Is said to be the cause for the act. Mrs. Rima's brother, Edward, and her father live in New Britain.

INTERVENTION MUST COME.
Baron Hayashi Does Not Believe War
 Will Go On Indefinitely.

< E3 aEts # zs < a55 $
 London, Oct. 13.In speaking of the battle between the Russians and Jap anese, Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister, said to-day to the Associated Press:
 The reports of our success must not be construed as being forerunners of any decisive blow. It is practically for Marshal Oyama to en- velop and utterly crush General Kuro- patkin, just as it is equally impossible for Kuropatkin to enveIop Oyama.
 Until Port Arthur falls any proposal looking to peace must be futile. Should 1t be captured, those in Russia who are supposed to favor a reasonable settle ment would have a sentimental ma .terial factor in favor of their point of view that no development of the Man churian campaign could provide. Japan in possession of Port Arthur could treat for peace.
 Tt is impossible" continued Baron Hayashi, Ito think that this war, un- sought by the population of either of the two countries involved can be al- lowed to continue indefinitely. Inter vention in some shape or form must eventually occur"
