The BARRIERS Idea.

Bentley had been out late the night
before, or, rather, he had stayed in late
in a little affair, and about all he had
left to show for it in the morning was
an old-fashioned away from home
made headache. In hope of relief he
had sought his old friend, the barber
and the latter had been busy on Bent
ley's head and face for the past hour.

She was rushing through the gate

"Oh. have no ticket" she said, but

her. Il guess it'll be all right" Then
to himself he soliloquized: why not?
Perhaps she won't always be so keen
to meet him. Probably hasn't been

A Hard Heart.-Judge Ben B. Lind
sey of the famous Denver Juvenile
court said in the course of a recent
address on charity:
TOO many of us are inclined to think
that, one misstep made, the boy is gone
for good. Too many of us are like the
cowboy.
"An itinerant preacher preached to a
cowboy audience on the 'Prodigal Son.
He described the foolish prodigals eX-
travagance and dissipation; he de-
scribed his penury and his husk- eat
ing with the swine in the sty; he de-
scribed his return, his fathers loving
welcome, the rejoicing, and the prep
aration of the fatted calf
THE preacher in his discourse no.
ticed a cowboy staring at him very
hard. He thought he had made con-
vert, and addressing the cowboy per-
sonally, he said from the pulpit:
MY dear friend, what would you
have done if you had had prodigal
son returning home like that
Me-? said the cowboy, promptly
and fiercely, I'd have shot the boy and
raised the calf detroit Free Press.

The Chief Crime.-The minister's
class at the Kirk of Tobermory had
been reading the story of Joseph and
his brethren, and the minister was
asking the boys few questions in re-
view. Their replies had all been quick,
concise and correct, such as:
What great crime did these sons of
Jacob commit"
They sold their brother Joseph"
Quite correct. And for how much
did they sell him."
Twenty pieces of silver
And what added to the cruelty and
wickedness of these brothers," A
pause. What made their treachery
even more detestable and heinous?"
Then a bright little Highlander
stretched out an eager hand.

BIRTH OF THE MOON.
When the Earth Was Sphere of Lava,
Molten and EIattened.


The earth revolves on it's axis once
In twenty four hours. Millions of years
ago the day was twenty-five hours;
millions of years before it was twenty
one hours AS we look backward into
time we find the earth revolving faster
and faster. There was a time ages ago,
long before geology begins, when the
earth was rotating in a day of five or
six hours In length. In the remotest
past the earth revolved in q day of
about five hours. 1t could revolve no
faster than this and remain a single
unbroken mass.
1t was at this time that the moon
was born. separated, broken off from
the parent mass of the earth. The
earth was then molten, fattened
sphere of lava. It's whole body was
fluid. The tides, which now are small,
superficial and, so to say, local, were
then universal and immense. They
occurred at short intervals. The whole
surface of our globe was affected. And
the corresponding lunar tides In the
fluid, molten moon were indefinitely
greater still.
Our day Is now twentyfOur hours
| The distance of the moon Is now 240,-
600 miles When our day was about
| five hours long the moon was in con-
tact with the earth's surface. 1t had
| Just broken away from its parent mass
AS the length of the terrestrial day in
creased, so did the distance OF the
moon. The two quantities are con-
nected by ineXorable equations. II one
varies, 80 must the other. Whenever
| the rotation time of n planet is shorter
| than the reriOd of revolution of Its
satellite the effect of their mutual ac-
tion is to accelerate the motion of the
satellite and to force ii to move in a
| larger orbit. to increase it's distance
therefore.
The day of the earth is now shorter
than the month-the period of rcvolu-
| tiOn-Of the moon. The moon is there
fore slowly rcceding from us. and il
has been rcCcding for thousands o1
centuries But the day of the earth is
as we have seen. slowly growing long
cr The finger of the tides is always
pressing upon the rim of our huge fly
wheel and slowly but surely lessening
the speed of its rotation. So long as
the terrestrial day is shorter than the
lunar month the moon will continue Il
rcccde from us.-IIarpcr's.

petticOat panic. Women wonder why
their silk skirts mysteriousy split,
crack and fall into holes even when
| only hanging i'm closets or lying in
bureau drawers. The silk is not
! treacherOus. But the ways of the men
who manufacture it are.
The silk reaches the factories in
skeins The skeins for the warp or the
chain of threads running lengthwise
of the cloth are placed on bobbins.
And the bobbins are set on an upright
| frame The skeins for the wOOf or
filling threads which cross the chain at
right angles are wound on hobbins and
| from the bobbins to smaller spOols
called quills which fit into the shuttles.
Even plain silk weaving is done with
| inconceivably elaborate machinery.
! But it moves so quickly that ones eye
can scarcely follow the flying, flashing
shuttles to and fro.
How FIowered Patterns Are Woven.
Silk with figured patterns Is woven
on a jacquard loom or n loom with a
jacquard attachment, which has been
named for its ingenious Frenchman
| inventor Joseph Maria jacquard. The
pattern cards are a big branch of the
silk industry and are hand painted by
! good artists on papers ruled with a
square each for every crossing of the
| threads of the warp and woof.
The woven silk is placed on frame
where every inch is examined for soils,
stains, knots, and other flaws. Then 1t
goes to the finishing department and
is sometimes singled to remove rough
nap. 1t is sprinkled, sponged with wax
and gelatin and secret concOctiOns, and
finally calendered or ironed with the
steel rolls which lend the last lovely
luster.
And when it passes on to the shelves
of the silk shops and into the caress-
ing fingers of the marvellous modistes
to grow grandly out into ball dresses
and reception frocks which shall set
forth the charms of fashion devotees,
who would suppose that it's beginning
was with the crawling caterpillar and
the thready gum steaming from the
bulging caterpillar sides?
