Moonshine and Fishing.

We have made a good deal Of fun OF
country folk who ''set store" by the
phases of the moon in planning their
work or trying to forecast the wealth
er. The general idea seems to be that
things will not turn out well when
done sin the dark o. the MOON" or
when that 1uminary is waning, on the
theory that growing moon symbo-
Lies increase, advance, growth, where
as waning moon symbolizes decline
and decay. But a new and somewhat
more philosophical turn is given to the
matter by an angler who writes in The
Country Herald (England) and who
suggests a novel explanation for the
periodical dourness Of pike as follows !:
"An old angler friend rather surprised
me this week by asking my opinion
of the effect of the full moon upon
pike prospects. I had nothing to say,
because I had never considered there
was any relation between the two. But
he thinks SO, his view being that the
jack take advantage of a moonlight
which almost turns night into day, to
feed. Consequently when the angler
arrives the following morning their ap-
petite Is satisfied and they have no de-
sire for his lures"

Honest Man.

Annis Burke of the Claypoo1 hotel
believes that Diogenes did not need a
lantern to find the proverbial honest
man. Burke discovered that individ-
ual when he received letter from a
man in Louisville, who, several days
before, had been a guest at the Clay
pool.
In his letter the man explained that
when he left the hotel he had procured
what he thought was pair of his over
shoes from his checkroom. He did not
notice that they were not his until he
got to Louisville. He then discovered,
he said, that the shoes he had obtained
were not his, but were a brand-new
pair, and worth at least so cents more
than his had been.
The guest said that he desired to do
the square thing with the man who
had taken his overshoes, and offered to
send the shoes back on receipt of the
necessary postage. Burke said he
supposed the other man had never NO
ticed the mistake.-Indianapo News.

British Manicure Lady.

''In English barber shops you do moi

tiled floors and a manicure girl"
writes Homer Croy in Everybodys
"Over there manicurist is cOnsid-
cred the last vocable in the way OF
smartness. The manicure girl hasn't
the run of the shop as she has here;
she has little cage down in one cor
ner, where she is bottled up as If she
were a rare liquid. When a man
wants to have any light Homework
done on his hands he thrusts one OF
them through the bars, while the pro-
prietor hurries up with newspaper
for him to read. In America we would
be insulted If the owner Of the shop
put something into our hand to read
while the manicure girl was working
on us. In England the art of jolly
ing the manicurist is unknown"

Feminine Instincts.

long inheritances. Her special and
peculiar faculties (only some of which
are here discussed) have been devei-
oped through the activities of her sex
in thousands Of bygone generations.
These faculties may properly be called
'instincts" because they represent in
herited experience.
They are particularly interesting as
a subject of study for the reason that
they are suggestive of the history OF
feminine occupations since the earli-
est dawn Of human existence on, the

Waiter Couldn't See the Joke.

Dipping the other day into Mrs.
Stuart Menzies' biography of Lord
William Beresford, there is the follow
ing good story:
''It was at the Raleigh club" (writes
Mrs. Menzies) shat Lord William
and one of his brothers, Lord Marcus.
I believe, for some reason, or perhaps
for no reason, put the hall porter into
the refrigerator.
"The heat of the mans body, OF
his language, caused the ice to melt
so one of them drew from the tap
some water into a tumbler and sent
it with his compliments to friend
in the smoking room, describing it as
Garcon Glace (literally iced waiter)
'The porter was left In little toe
long, ard there was some trouble at
terward. This became known as the
Garcon Glace incident.
Everybody thought it funny ex
cept the waiter, and he had to be paci
fed"

One Of Rob's pet rabbits had disap-

the bunny, Rob appeared before his
little playmate suggesting that with
the assistance OF Harold's bird dog
they might recover the pet. The play
mate, delighted that his dog might be
of service, rushed to his mother for
permission to accompany Rob and the
dog. "But where are you going to
