An Inch of Rain

Most people are of the opinion that an
Inch of rain is a very small rainfall. But it
is really big rainfall. 1t is more than falls
in New York City in an average week.
When an inch of rain has fallen, it means,
literally, that the amount of water descend
ing from the sky in that particular shower
would cover the surrounding territory to a
depth of one inch, providing, of course that
it did not run away or soak into the ground.
1t means that on one acre water enough
to fill more than six hundred barrels of forty
five gallons each has fallen. This quantity
of water weighs more than one hundred and
ten tons. If the rain-storm covered terri
tory comprising thousand acres, which
would be a very small shower, one hundred
and thirteen thousand tons of water would
fall from the clouds. Rains storms frequent
ly cover whole states, and often four and
five inches of water fall in one rain. In this
case the total number of tons of water fall
ling to earth is enormous

Superstitions

According to a superstition or folktale
common in various parts of the world,
''Jhe man in the moon" is there under
going punishment for having gathered sticks
on Sunday; when the moon is about eight
days old, believers in the superstition say,
he can be seen with his bundle of sticks on
his back and his little dog before him. con-
tnually climbing but making no progress
whatever. References to the "man in the
moon" can be found all through literature.
1t is believed that the superstition had its
origin in the account given in the 18th
chapter of Numbers of a man who was
punished with death for gathering sticks on
Sunday. Dante, in his 'Inferno, refers to
the 'sman in the moon, and suggests that
he was Cain.-Ex.

Laughter shrill and tuneess with an under

Mothers Bill

A en-year-old boy overheard converse
ton about certain bills for services rendered
which had to be paid, and conceived the
idea of making out a bill for his own
services. So that next morning he laid this
statement of account on his mother break
fast plate;
''Mother owes Willie for carrying coal
six times, twenty cents; for bringing water
lots of times, thirty cents; for going ten
errands, fifteen cents His mother read
the bill, but said nothing about it. That
evening Willie found on his plate the
seventy-fve cents and also another bill
which read as follows: "Willie owes
Mother: For his happy home for ten years,
nothing; for his food and clothing, nothing;
for nursing him through long illness,
nothing; for being good to him, nothing;
total, nothing" When Willie saw the
seventy-6ve cents he was pleased, but when
he read his mothet's bill his eyes grew dim
and his lips quivered. Then he took the
money to his mother, threw his arms about
her neck, and begged that she should let
him do lots of things for her.
Mothers bill is rarely presented, but it
will pay each person to think it out and
over for himself and then pay it in love
and service.
