Heat From the Moon.

The moon is made Of material sup
posed to be stone, since its specific
gravity is about that Of the rocks with
in reach here on earth. 1t reflects the
light it receives from the sun to the
earth, but in greatly weakened proper
ton. Therefore this light will affect
plants in the same ratio. The effect Is
very small indeed. Heat energy sent
from the sun to the moon is very near
" the same as that radiated to the
earth, but the quantity sent from the
moon to the earth is so small that 1t Is
neeligible.-New York American

The uck of a Goat.

A man once owned a fine and re
sourceful goat of which he was very
proud. One day this goat lost caste
with his master by swallowing a red
flannel shirt which was the property OF
his owner. Angered beyond reason
the man led the goat to the railroad
track and, tying the animal to the ties,
left him to what he believed was Ger
tain death. The goat was opposed to
capital punishment and made violent
efforts TO release himself from his
bonds. In this he was unsuccessful
but in straining himself he produced q
violent fit of coughing, and he coughed

Shoeinu Horses.

Horses were not shod either by the
Greeks or Romans The ancients were
content with wrapping fiber cloth
around the feet Of their horses IN cold
weather or when 1t was necessary to
pass through miry districts. Instead
of troubling about horseshoes they de-
voted their attention to hardening the
hoofs of their mounts. Nero. who
ever strove to outdistance his contem
poraries, caused his horses to be shod
with silver. while his wife's were re-
splendent with gold. but in no case
were nails driven into the boots. The
practice Of shoeing horses by driving
nails into the hoofs was introduced
into England by William the Conquer
or, but was slow in winning favor.

Forbidden Fruit.

A request was once made to the au-
thorities OF one Of the colleges at Cam
bridge that room might be found on
the spacious lawns Of their garden for
the lady students of Girton college to
play lawn tennis. Guessing clearly
enough what would be the result OF
the admission of these students of the
fairer sex among the undergraduates,
the master replied that 1t was ordered
in the statutes of the college that the
gardens must be devoted to the pur'
poses of Horticulture and must not be
used for husbandry.-Spare Moments.

The Crumbs and the Crust.

Eat the crust Of bread in preference
to the crumb. This is the advice oil
the London Lancet. This famous
London medical publication says that
analysis shows that 1.-The crumb con
tains on an average 43 per cent OF
moisture. while the crust contains onl!
20 per cent. One important dietetic
difference between crust and crumb is
the fact that the former contains an
increased amount Of soluble carbohy'
drates owing TO the action of intense
heat which the crust receives compar'
ed with the crumb during baking.
Moreover, the crust has a more pro
nounced bready favor than the crumb
a flavor which is attractive and which
stimulates the flow Of digestive juices

1t is a curious but almost unnoticed
fact that San Francisco is three de-
grees Of longitude east Of the geograph'
zeal center of that portion of the Unit,

San Francisco is closer to the extreme
eastern portion Of the coast of Maine
than it is to the extreme western por'

Cookery and Government.

Rossini, the Italian composer, said a
droll thing on the unification of Italy
when some one asked his opinion on
this matter. He replied that he thought
it very difficult if not impossible to eff

that the Neapolitans eat nothing but
macaroni, the Florentines nothing but
fagiuoli and the Lombards only pollen
ia, while the Piedmontese swallow all
they can get. 1T is clear" he said,
that uniformity of cookery must pre-
