Nance, of near Piney Fork, Piitsylvania

e1 10 have been administered by her
husband Wednesday night. Nance came
home early in the night, it is charged,
and commenced beating his wife, who,
after while, succeeded in getting away
from him. She took refuge under bed
in the room from which she was dragged
by her infnriated husband, who con-
tinued to rain blows upon his helpless
victim until neighbor went to her
rescue, the story goes. Her face was
mass of bruises and 80 discolored as to be
almost beyond recognition. Her hus-
bands clothing was spattered with blood
He stoutly denies any knowledge OF the
crime, and says he cannot recall any
happening since Wednesday afternoon
when he and his wife returned from
visiting relatives. Nance and his wife
were given to imbibing, and fights were
not uncommon at their home. Mrs.
Nance was about forty-three years old,
while her husband was few years her
senior. Narce was arrested at bis home
yesterday afternoon and remsnded to
Jail to await preliminary hearing. The

scene OF the murder. The fight at the
Nance home was witnessed by only one
man, who refuses to talk until put upon
the witness stand.

MAN IN THE MOON.

OF all the myths which have sprung
up around the moon. before Galileo's
telescope revealed another world with
lofty mountains, deep valleys and vast
plains, the oldest, and probably the
most familiar to us all, is that of it's
heard the story of the man who was
found by Moses gathering sticks on
the Sabbath, and condemned to dwell
in the moon till the end of time.
Originating, doubtless, in the super
fetal resemblance of some of the moon
spots to a man with bundle of sticks
on his back, it would be handed down
by jealous Sabbatarians as an edifying
warning. It has even been referred to
Biblical authority. German nurses
commonly vary the tale by saying that
the offender was given the choice of
burning in the sun or freezing in the
moon, and that he preferred a lunar
frost to a solar furnace. But in the
middle ages, before Lutherans and
Puritans had superimposed the con-
ception OF the Jewish Sabbath upon the
Christian Sunday, the crime thus
punished was theft
It is possible, however, that the
Man in the Moon myth may claim
an even remoter antiquity Primitive
man had a tendency to personify those
natural forces whose laws he could not
comprehend, his imagination endowed
them with human force and human
feelings, and with superhuman knowI-
edge and power. Hence the moon
acquired sex and a gender, in Sans
crit and all derivations, except Greek
and Latin, and such modern languages
as have come under the classical inf1u-
ence, it is masculine. And doubtless,
this is the reason why the legendary
Woman in the Noon is not nearly
so prevalent as the legendary Man"
Be this as it may, it is certain that
in Teutonic fable we find the moon in
hablted by both sexes. For according
to Mr.. Barring Gould, our familiar nur-
sery rhyme about Jack and Jill is de-
rived from the Scandinavian myth of
the two children, Hiuki and Bill. who
We're taken up into the moon with their
pole and bucket as they We're drawing
water. They symbolic the waxing
and waning of the moon. while the
water they are carrying refers to the
influence of the moons phases upon
the rainfall.
There is an ancient belief found in
some OF the writings of the old Egyp-
tlans that the moon is an abode Of
departed spirits. And some of the
South American Indians still regard It
as their happy hunting ground" the
paradise of dead chiefs and braves. But |

FENCE TO KEEP RATTLERS OUT.

Did you ever hear of a rattlesnake
of course not, but one made Of prfckly
thorns to protect one from the rattlers
and keep them away. That is what
the Arizona campers build, and the
only way to keep these deadly poison
ers away is by building one of these
fences Of oktea, a shrub covered with
thorns, which grows on the desert
AS the tents have no doors and are
not set much above the ground, it
would appear easy for Mr.. Rat1er to
effect an entrance. Imagine the sem
night to strike against the clammy skin
Of snake, and this is just where Mr..
Snake likes to snuggle, in among the
warm blankets.
To avoid this, men who work in the
mines have found that a snake will not
go near this oktea, and they have built
closely knit fences around their tents
with little gates to go in and out, and
beyond this the RATHER will not pene-
trate. 1t was first the Indians of the
desert who discovered this deadly
shrub, and they got the secret from
birds and animals which, to protect
their young, travel sometimes many
miles back and forth bringing the
thorns with which to cover their little
nests. Gophers and other small ami
mails there cover their nests in this
manner.
1t is strange that in that country, so
dry and forbidding, many things grow
in exuberance, and especially notice
able are the great fields of brown eyed
