THE MAN IN THE MOON.
One Of the Greatest and Most Ancient
Of Superstitions.

In our infancy there was pointed out
TO us the mysterious man in the moon,
who looks solemnly down from his
perch in the sky. No doubt we have
made many a childish speculation con-
cerning this grave parsonage, who has
been watching the successive genera
tions on the earth come and go for
centuries, and wondered how he came
to be away up there in the moon so
many miles from us.
Well, he was sent there because he
was a naughty fellow. a wicked man.
who picked up some sticks that did not
belong to him on Sunday. The first
mention of this is in the Bible, where
it is told that a certain individual was
put to death for such a proceeding.
From this Bible story originated one
of the greatest and most ancient super
stitions-that of the man in the moon.
The man in the moon is known to
every nation, and is pictured as lean
ing on a fork on which he carries
bundle of thorns or brushwood. which
he was caught stealing on the Sabbath
day; and as punishment he was con-
fined in the moon. The dark lines and
spots which compose the features of
this traditional man are in reality the
shadows of lunar mountains on the
moon.
