rhey Needea tI,e Moon.

In certain New England town there
is "a medical society which is OF some
sixty years standing aud has the GUS
tom of meeting ON the Thursday be-
fore the fall of the moon. Recently
some OF the younger members tried to
change the time Of meeting to the
third Wednesday, OF every month.
Three of the oldest members rose up
and protested. They gave the reason
for the peculiar arrangement. When
this association was formed said one
OF them, there were no electric lights
and good roads the wny there are
now. The society took in the whole
county. aud It was often a dihicult
matter for the doctors who lived in the
country to drive home after nightfall.
So we called the moon to our aid and
set the date for the Thursday before
the full of the moon. 1t Is bright moon
light at n seisonable hour then, and
the doctors could see their way home,
/ know there Is no necessity for such
an arrangement now, but this will
seem like new society II we do not
meet the Thursday before the full Of

pawn the gewgaw to a friend, who was

of the jewels, but their association, that

at them. The jeweer arrives. and the
