How He Came to Be There.
Concerning the Lunar spots, the
dark marks on the face of the moon.
there have been many strange fan
cies; but nearly AL agree in credit
Ing them to the presence CT man
IN the moon. How this man got there
Is variously told by different peoples,
says the National Home Journal.
Dante calls Kim Cain, and places
him there in punishment for his
crime OF killing Abel.
Another legend identifies him with
Isaac. who is seen carrying bundle
Of sticks on his back TO the sacrifice.
In certain parts of France the un-
tutored peasants fancy him Judas
Iscariot. hanging from an elder
branch
A Talmudic story tells how Jacob
was transported to the moon; and in
proof asserts that his face is some
times yisibiy outlined on It's surface.
The Jews have this lengend: One
Sabbath morning, while the children
ar Israel were wandering in the will
derness a man was caught gathering
sticks. He was at once seized. taken
without the camp and stoned until

2pious Sabbath-breaker was niracu-
lously transported to the moon,
where he may still be seen, bearing
his bundle of sticks, and shivering
with cold as the frosty air bites his
back through his torn clothes. He Is
accompanied by dog, and Is always
climbing upward without ever gain
ing d step.
The Germans tell somewhat
similar story An old man went into
the woods to cut firewood Sunday
smorning When he had cut as many
sticks as he could carry he made
them into bundle, fastened the
bundle to a pole, slung the pole on
his shoulder and started for home.

In North Germany the legend Is
told differently. One Christmas eve
a poor man attempted to rob his
neighbor's garden of its cabbages
Just as he had filed his basket and
was about to raise it on his shoulder
the Christ child rode by on his white
horse, and said:
Because thou hast stole on the
holy night thou shalt Immediately
sit in the moon, wit thy basket of
cabbages.
And in the twinkle of an eye the
unfortunate man found himself in
the moon, sitting by his stolen bask-
ct of cabbages; and there he can be
seen even to this day. Another YER
sion has it that the robber was cap
tured by some of the villagers while
he was sneaking away with his plum
der; and that one Of his captors, in
1ignant at the theft, wished the thief
in the moon. Instantly the man was
snatched from their hands, and when
they looked up their astonished
eyes saw him standing in the moon,
stolen cabbage on his back, and
there he still stands, turning himself
round once on the anniversary of
his crime
In another German tale man and
woman stand in the moon; the
man because he scattered brambles
and thorns on the church path to
hinder people from attending mass
on Sunday; the woman because she
made butter on that day. The man
carries bundle of thorns on his
back and the woman sits on a tub
of butter.
