clay In an improved form seen at

The "new" moon at its newest is in
visible to us, the illuminated side being
entirely turned away and a discussion
has arisen among certain astronomers as
to the earliest age at which it shows its
slender crescent. The matter appears to
have some degree Of importance, as, in
Mohammedan countries, the month for
religious purposes is said to begin when
the moon first appears after sunset to
two good witnesses. A lady's state
ment that on May 20 she saw the cres-
cent when only 3918 hours old, has
brought out the old record Of Kepler
that he saw the old moon in the morn
ing and the new moon in the evening of
the same day, so that the crescent could
not have been more than hours old.
Kepler, however, was gifted with such
unusual eyesight that he could count A.
stars in the Pleiades instead of the 6
ordinarily visible. An observer in
Belgium, who questions the accuracy of
the Kepler record, saw the new moon on
Nov. %, 1885, when it was only 10
hours and p minutes old and in Great
Britain w. F. Denning, F. K. A. S.,
saw it on March 30, 1881, when only 20
hours and SO minutes old. 1t is pointed
out that time and place must affect the
observations, and that the clear winter
sky is more favorable for seeing the
crescent early than the brighter sky of
summer twilight.
For developing photographs in day

prepares the ordinary dry plate by plac-

operation in suitable cloth bag is not
affected by daylight. Being first rinsed.

longer than usual.

Household Hints.

Minced peanuts with boiled egg are
excellent for sandwich filling.
Cut glass should be cleansed in soap
suds and then polished with sawdust
and chamois skin.
Unbleached calico shrinks in the
wash. Allow an extra inch to each
yard in making it up to allow for this.
A new space and fuel saving cooking
utensil patented by an Ohio man con-
tains three receptacles. which may be
placed within single holder, covering
but single range opening.
When running brass RODS through
window curtains put an old glove fin
ger over the end that is being pushed
through the hem. Unless this Us done
the material is apt to tear.
Tablecloths generally begin to wear
first where the folds come. To change
the position of the folds is therefore
to prolong the life of the cloth. 1t is
easily done by taking few inches off
one side and one end of the cloth and
hemming it again.

The Overhead Check.

We regret to read Of the crueties
practiced by use of the overhead check,
but it is refreshing to know that the
newspapers sometimes speak out en-
phatically against this abuse. The
following, taken from the Saturday Sun
set, Vancouver B. c.. is plain talk
which we are glad to republlsh:
1.-The man who will leave a horse
tied on the street with the animals
head held in an unnatural and tortur-
ing angle by an overhead check ad-
vertises himself as a cowardly cur or an
Ignorant ass. 1t is apparent that very
few who employ the overhead check
understand its use or its facility as an
instrument OF torture. ! am not one Of
those who say the overhead check is alb
solutely without its uses, but observa-
tion on our streets is painfully convinc-
ing that very few understand its abuse
or its capabilities for torture. 1t is
nothing unusual to see horses, the finest
drivers, owned by men who think they
are some shucks as horsemen or fanciers.
standing with their heads held till the
muscles in the Threats of the poor
animals are almost bursting with the
strain while they vainly sway their
heads in a pathetic effort to find relief
1t would be revelation to these same
owners if they would try five minutes of
that sort of strain on their own pinheads,
| sometimes smile when | hear such
owners reel off records, pedigrees, and
other horse lore, imagining they are
horsemen. They don't know the first
principle of horsemanship, which is
Kindness and humane treatment. ANY
man who lacks that first essential is no
horseman, but a cruel bully and a
coward, because he tortures an animal
which will not be revenged upon him. -
