If yon were on the moon, the earth would appear to be sixty-four times larger than the sun docs to .residents of this planet. The moon is believed to be the only member of tho planetary system which if wholly devoid of the least trace of an atmosphere. It is estimated that the light of a full moon is at least 300,000 times weaker than sunlight when tho "great orb of day" is standing at meridian. Our moon weighs one-eightieth (l-80th) as much as the earth. No other satellite in the solar system ex ceeds one one-thousandth (1-1000) of the weight of its planet. The 132,856 "craters" which have been discovered on the moon, and which have long been supposed to be extinct volcanic flues, and now be lieved to have been caused by a bom bardment of aerolites. The month of February, 18G6*, was known among the lovers of the curious in nature as the "moonless" month, from the fact of its having no full moon. This cannot possibly occur more frequently than once each twelve and a half years, or eight times in a century. The moon is not so small as some people have imagined. A recent as tronomical calculation attributes to its surface an area fully as great as that of ?frica and Austria combined. The most powerful telescope now in use magnifies 2,000 diameters. As the moon is 240,000 miles from the earth, it is thus, to all intents ? ad purposes, brought to within 120 miles of our world.-Popular Science Monthly. Origin of the Word ?Dun.? - "Dun" is a word whose meaning is now known to every one who under stands the English language. About the beginning of the century a con stable in England named John Dun became celebrated as a first class col lector of bad accounts., When others would fail to collect a bad debt, Dun would be sure to get it ont of the debtor. It soon passed into a current phrase that when a person owed money and did not pay when asked, he would have to be "Dunned." Hence it soon became so common in such cases to say : "You will have to Dun So-and-so if you wish to collect your money." The Bishop's Laboratory Beer.

O think that there should have ever been a time when I wish ed to say "No" to Dor othy Knigh ton, when she asked if she might come for a walk with me ! Not that she was at all a forward girl, you will see that when you understand the circumstances, but the fact remains that she preferred such a request, and that I wished to say "No." I had only known her a week, but that had been moro than long enough for me to fall in love with her. She was such a bonny giri, neither tall nor short, neither aark nor fair, not strictly beautiful, and certainly very far from being plain, with hair which was brown without being dull, with oyes which were blue without being cold, with a quaintness and straight forwardness about her-tho outcome of her Colonial training-that alto gether took my heart by storm, and made her unlike any other girl I had ever come aoross. I had acoepted an invitation to stay with my godfather (he was also my mother's cousin) instead of going to my home, which was a long way from Oxford. Although I had never seen him, he had always fulflllhd my ideal of a god-parent. As we had nover met, he could not be supposed to teach me the catechism, but never a birth lay came round but he 6ent me a five pound note, which was acceptable oven now, perhaps more so to the Ox ford undcrgaduate than to the small boy at home with every want sup plied. And now that I was nearing the end of my time at the University, and was reading hard for my finals, in which I hoped to do well, it seemed as if he were about to help me to the crowning joy of my life by introduc ing me to his niece, Dorothy Knigh ton. She had just arrived from Australia on a visit, and so was almost as much a stranger to her uncle as I was, only that she had a fortnight's start of me. But how fond he was of her ! Both he and his wife vied with each other in trying to give her pleasure; they drove her about to see all the sights in the country round, and presented her with an heirloom, in the shapo of a lovely emerald pendant, which looked dazzling on her white neck when, she wore it one evening to show as. She returned their kindness by singing their favorite- songs to them, and following them about the grounds and corservatories day after day, in a desultory fashion; which, must have been rather monotonous, ?though to this childless old couple it was their chief delight. But in spite of her brightness I was not at all sure that she was happy. The very first morning I was there I noticed a wistful look in her eyes at breakfast ; and on tho third morning, by which time I thought a good deal about her eyes, I was convinced that she had some secret sorrow. What could it be? It was true that she had left her parents in Australia, but a visit to England had always been, she said, the aome of her desires, and she had had a delightful voyage. She ex pressed herself charmed with the old buildings and the ruins she had seen, and the character of the Engl if h scen ery, all of which was so new to her, but there must have been something that did not como up to her expecta tions. Or, was it-and hero the thought caused mo to put down my cup of coffee hastily-could it be sho had met some ono or. board from whom she regretted being parted? It was possible-nay, probable. And if this was thc case, what chance had I? But still she never talked about any one in particular, and as she was gen erally pretty bright, and it was only now and then that I surprised this wistful look, 1 began to hope that I might be wrong in my surmises. At any rate, there was no reason why I should not do my best to win her. But this is a long digression, and I must go back to that September morn ing when she followed mo out into the oak-panelled hall as soon as we had risen from the breakfast table, and said : "Mr. Lowndes, if you are going into the town, may I come with you? I want to go to some shops. " There was a little town three miles away to which I had announced my in tention of paying a visit, but what I did not bargain for was the company of Miss Dorothy Knighton. It was fortunato that sho was behind me when she asked tho question, so. that she did not see how my face fell ; and by tho time I turned to answer her I had regained control of my features. "Need you ask?" I replied ; and in deod, in spite of my wish that she would remain at home, a thrill of triumph shot through me at the thought that she had asked mo of her own accord; and tho vision of my rival, which was ever before me, grew less. So we set out along the dust.v road, Bhe a trim, cool figaro in her holland frock, wi* a a glad look on her face which it diu my heart good to see. "What a lovely old place this is," she remarked, as we went down the long avenue of ancient elms which led to the lodge gate. "It quite comes up to my idea of 'ancestral halls' with turrets and a moat, too. It does look old-doesn't it? And everything is so beautifully kept ! They seem to have quite a retinue of servants, and they're as old as can be. I suppose they take wages, but I expect they would be very much surprised if aunt gave any of them notice. It seems HO funny to mc, for with us B?X months is. generally the length of their stay." So ?he rattled on, losing a good deal of the slight stiffness with which she had hitherto addressed me, and making mo forget that the fact of her presence rendered my walk into the town a fruitless one. However, when we reached L - she stopped abruptly. | .'Now, Mr. Lowndes, I've gob som shopping to do, and you won't want to be hanging about after me/so we'll just go our own ways, and meet, here, at this corner, at 12, if that will do?r '''Very well," I said, I hoped ?ottoo eagerly, and we parted. I did not know my way about the place at all, but when driving through from the station on my arrival I had notioed some of the shops, among j them a tobacconist's and a confection er's. There were several objects of j interest in the town, and so thia latter shop was well provided with little tables at which the trippers lunched and had tea. I found my way into it, and though it was early for refresh ment the walk had been a hot one, and I passed into tho inner room wnere they attended to my wants. I had been there about half an hour when I threw down the local paper which I had been studying, and after paying my bill passed into the outer shop. There, faoing the counter, which at this early hour was rather empty, stood Dorothy Knighton. "I've had three buns and a glass of milk," she was saying; and then ehe gave a tremendous start when she heard my voice. "I didn't see you pass," she went on. "I suppose you saw me through the window," a j speech which convinced me that she was unaware that I had been so near her all the time. She took her change, and we stepped out onto the pave ment together. But here she again dismissed me. "I've Btill got some more shopping to do," she said, and she walked off. This, was a little abrupt, I thought, but my feelings wore mixed, and so I let her go and strolled off down a side street. I bought some tobacco, and walked on till I found a grocer's shop. It was a poky little place-by no means the best in the town, I should imagine, but it would answer my purpose, at least, I hoped so, and I entered-but there again stood Dorothy, holding in her hand a bisouit from which she had just bitten a nice little half moon. "Yes, these will do, thank you. Three pounds, please." And as she said this she turned and saw me: It was too late to draw back, and I was glad I had not done so when I saw how the pretty color flashed into her face at the sight of me ; yet I had a feeling that she was not quite pleased. "Oh, Mr. Lowndes!" she exclaimed. "What do you want?" "Some biscuits," I stammered out, "for-the dog." "For Tib I How kind of you! but I'm getting some, so he won't want both lots, will he ? Besides, they'll be such a bother to carry-oh, yes, I'll take them with me, please," she added, quickly, to the shopman. "I'll carry them," I said, quite as quickly, and the matter was settled thus. "But are you going now?" 1 asked. "It is only ll o'clock. Haven't you any more shopping to do?" "No," she laughed, "I have got all I want, thank you." I had not ;i however, I couldn't say so, or keep her waiting about, so, I turned homeward without another word. How merry she was. She didn't seem to have a thought or oare in tho world. . She was evidently thoroughly enjoying her walk, and her high spirits so infected me that I shook my fist, metaphorically, at my unknown rival, and felt that I was gaining ground. With such a hope before me, there was much I could endure for her sake. We drawdled so much on tho way home that it was nearly lunch time when we reaohed | the house. Her aunt's voice was heard calling her, and Dollie sped away, leaving me with the bag of bisouits. I pat them down on a side table in tho hall, and went up to my room. Presently the gong sounded. What a gong it was I How it resounded and reverberated through the house, pen etrating tho thick oak doors and call ing ap visions of good things. I has tened down to find a visitor, the cu rate of the parish, to whom I took an intense dislike-an unfounded ono I found afterwards-but there was plenty of conversation during the meal, and my dear old godfather was planning an expedition to a show castle in tho neighborhood. "There's a wondorful oak tree there planted by Queen Elizabeth. They make the chips into brooches set in gold, and sell them for tho benefit of tho Church Bestoration Fund. You must have one, Dorothy, my dear," And Dorothy smiled her thanks. "Well, what shops did you young people patronize in L- this morn ing?" he went on to say. "Oh, Miss Knighton bought some-" "Will you pass mo tho mustard, please, Mr. Lowndes," broke in that young lady, absolutely fixing me with her eye, and so astonishing me .'that I left my sentence, which was meant to be a chaffing allusion to the weight of the biscuits, unfinished. It was evi dent that she had*interrupted me on purpose, for she then took the con versation into her own hands, and be wildered the unfortunate curate with questions about his parish. I watohed, rather sullenly, tho preparations for Tib's dinner, a process which went on at intervals during the meal, and we were sometimes asked to loave bits for him. Our feelings at this request will bo better understood later on, I may add that Tib was an ugly brute of a dog, whom, however, at times, I en vied. Immediately after lunch the visitor rose to depart, and wo all fol lowed him out into the hall. He was rather a dreamy individual, and I was not surprised to hear that he oould not remember where he had put his hat. lt was eventually found on tho top of tho biscuits, which Mr. Knigh ton took up as well, asking: "Does this bolong to you also, Mr. Jones?" "That-oh, no!" "It looks liko a grocer's parcel," said Mrs. Knighton. "Why, tb-iyaro biscuits ! Where can they have come from?" "I bought thom, aunt," said a de mure voice. There was a pause, and then Dorothy added, rather faintly it seemed to me, ' T thought Tib would like them." "How very kind of you, my dear. But such a quantity. What a naughty, extravagant girl you aro ! Ho'll make himself quite ill. I must, tell tho sol vants not to give him too many at a time. " "Mayn't I givo them to him, aunt? He'll enjoy them evor so much better. They might be kept some where where I can got at them.'' "Yes, dear; but thoy had better be put in a tin. Here, Johnson," to the butler who was passing, ' 'just bring something to put these bisouits in. They're nicer crisp," sho finished, turning to Dorothy. "Yes, they are," was the answer, with a lip that certainly quivered a little. ? t The butler brought a large, old fnshioued plated , canister, in which tho "Captains" -as they turned out to be-were deposited. I wondered Dol lie had not brought something more appetizing for the pampered beast; \ however, it was no business of mine if she chose to waste her money on things ho wouldn't eat, and if ho con trived to choke himself I couldn't help1 it. Well, the week passed away with many ups and downs ; Tib was fed re ligiously after every meal, but it seemed to me that he did not appreci ate the biscuits ; indeed, I thought it was foolish to try him with them when he had but just demolished a plateful of "everything" in the dining room. It needed a good deal'of per suasion to get him to attempt them at ilL Dollie said tho best way was to keep nibbling at one all the time her self, it made him think it must be something dainty. I offered to nib ble, too, but she would only give me a small piece; she said the biscuits would go too fast, and that she couldn't afford to mako Tib another present. I did not soe why she need, but 1 suppose she did it to please her aunt. I wish she cared as much whether I was pleased or not. I began to fear that my society was by no means suf ficient to make her happy, for towards the end of the week her spirits flagged perceptibly. Once more I was haunted by visions of my rival ; indeed, I be came convinced of his existence. I had been out shooting one day with Mr. Knighton. Wo had come in late, and so lunched alone. The keen air had given me an appetite which was as usu-hm-which was unappeased when I rose from tho table. In the hall a happy thought struck me. I would have one of Tib's biscuits. It was the servants' dinner-hour, I knew, so that I ran no risk of being disturbed. With a last glance round, therefore, at the closed doors, I raised tho lid of tho canister, but it .was nearly empty. There were only three biscuits left, and these I was rapidly transferring to my pocket, when a door opened closo to me, and Dorothy appeared. I stood open-mouthed, I fear, and certainly irresolute ; guilt, I am sure, was written on every feature of my countenance. For ono moment Dorothy paused, her blue eyes opened wider, then she began to laugh. She laughed till her pretty face was crimson, Bho laughed till the tears rolled down her cheeks, and she sank exhausted on a bench ; then sho gasped ont: "Why-I-believe-you're hungry too ! Oh, let's shako hands. I'm so glad. I shan't mind half as much now. You poor hungry man, and you're so big, too. Come and eat them ia herc," dragging mo into the adjoining billiard room. "You know they're nicer crisp," and she werit off into another peal of laughter. "But the tin's empty, who's eaten them ?" I asked. "Why I have! Did you think I lived on a cutlet a day, or uncle's helping of ham at breakfast? Oh dear!" And then we sat down and talked the matter out. Why our dear old friends kept such a scanty table we conld not tell. They were generosity itsolf in everything else. Perhaps they were unused to young people's appetites. Anyhow, the fact remained that a dish of the tiniest cutlets often comprised the meat coarse, and we now confessed how bad we had both felt, when, having for the sake of good manners declinod a second and the sole remaining cutlet, we saw it carried away uneaten after all. "I did eat it one day," said Dorothy. "I thought you looked rather sad, but I put it down to some thing else. I couldn't imagine how you could live on what you ate^but you were so cheerful about it, I con cluded it was in tho family-the ap petite I mean!" Aftor all she had had tho worst of it. Coming straight to them from a long voyage, with a healthy sea ap petite, ?ho literally could not get enough to eat, and she was too much overawed by the unusual grandeur of her surroundings to ask for more. However, all this was altered ' now. We had many a good square meal at the confectioner's, going to L- by circuitous routes, so as to avoid being questioned as to why wo went there so often. Wo had luxurious private stores, too, and so watched with equanimity the last cutlet departing in solitary grandeur on its silver dish. But our spirits were always at high water mark. Some mouths after ward, when my exam, was over and I had como off with flying colors, I asked Dorothy a question to which she was pleased to answer "yes." "I will spend my life in making you happy," I assured her. "I know you will," sho replied. "From experience I believe you will always leave tho odd cutlet for mo." Black and White. College Vs.

In contrast to this, a fisherman said that he sailed out of Swampscott, Mass., in a fishing schooner, and for a year each of the crew of sixteen averaged $113 a month, which was as much as the averago college professor earns.

The mortar is evidently tho site of a va3i Indian pottery es tablishment, which turned out num bers of earthen pots, such as aro fre quently found in this part of the State. The pots vary in sizo from twenty to ninety inches iu circumfer ence nt tho top, aud in depth from eight to thirty inches, and are per fectly round. They bear evidence of superior workmanship. The Valu? of Pr iyer. The value of prayc not often is fixed in dollars and cents, but a Texas farmer is coedited with such an opera tion. The story is told by Rev. B. H. Thrall, one of the pioneers of Metho dism in Texas. In company with a number of itinerants who were on their way to conference, Dr. Thrall stopped to spend the night with an old farmer. It was the custom then tc settle the bill at night, so that the\ might rise at 3 o'elook and ride a good way before breakfast, and lie by m th? heat of the day. Dr. Thrall acting at spokesman of the party, said to thc old farmer after supper: "We are a company of Methodist preachers going to conference. If you will get the fami'y together we will have prayers with you." After prayers one by one settled hit bill. Dr. Thrall's turn came, and he asked for his bill. The old farmer re plied : "Well, pa'son, I charged the rest2E cents, but bein' as you prayed for ni so good, I won't charge you but 2C cents." The brethren had the laugh on Dr. Thrall.-Epworth Era. The Age for Marrying. "If things keep on this way we won' have any grandfathers and grandmoth era in fifty years," observed a man whr. had been running his eyes along th< list of "marriage licenses." "Look here, in this list of thirty-fom licenses all but two of the men are mon than 22 years old, and all but two o: tho woman are above 18. It woulc seem that the average age of a groon these days is 30, while the bride ia bu two or three years younger. He ran over the ages and found tha the average age of the groom was 21 and of the bride 27. "Now, what does that mean?" hi continued. "A man does not marr until he is 30. If he has sons anc daughters they will not reach the mar rying age until he is at least 60, and i ho hopes to see his grandchildren grov np he must live to be at least 80 or 90 "In the country where I was bon people married young, and it wasn' uncommon to have grandmothers wh< were less than 40 years old. But if 3( is to be the marrying age in Chicane we will at least have to get along with out great-grandfathers." - Chicagt Record. Don't Write on Beech Trees.

Physicians Powerless-The Story Told b; the Child's Mother. (From the Reporter, Somerset, Ky.) Among the foot bills of the Cumberlani Mountains, near the town of Flat Rook, i the happy home of James McPherron. Fou months ago the daughter of the family, i happy girl of sixteen, was stricken with 8t Vitus' dance. The leading physicians wer consulted, but without avail. She grew pal and thin under the terrible nervous straii and was fast losing ber mental powers. Ii fact tho thought of placing ber in an asylun was seriously considered. Her case has beei so widely faked about that the report of he cure was like modernizing a miracle of old To a reportor who visited the home th mother said: "Yes, tbe reporte of my daughter'ssicknos and cure are true us you hear thom. Her af ?Uction grew Into St. Vitus' dance from ai aggravated form of weakness and nervou trouble peculiar to her sex. Every source o holp was followed to the end, but it scomet that physicians and medicine were power less. Day by day she grew woree until wi despaired of h or life. At times she almos wont into convulsions. She got so that w had to watch her to keep her from wander ing away, and you can imagine the care sh was. "About this time, when our misery wa greatest and all hope had fled, I read o another case, almost similar, that had beoi cured by a medloine known as Dr. Williams ink Pills. Almost in desperation I secura some of the pills and from that day on th wonderful work of restoration commenced tho nervousness left, her cheeks grow brigh with the color of health, she gained flesh anc grow strong both mentally and physlcall until, to-day she ls the very picture Of gooi health and happiness.

This is a rare incident of the reoog nition of children's rights, and while it might not prove successful if gener ally applied, owing to parental inca pacity, who can say that it is not a plan of wisdom and one that in many cases might work wonders of domestic harmony? While oftentimes children have been ruined by indulgence, th*?y have frequently been spoiled with "discipline." Children were never designed for nonenities, a fact in proof of which the omnipresent small boy stands ont with monumental prominence. While children can be allowed to become a nuisance by the laxity of parents, they can, on the other hand, be oppressed until they become atrophied in mind and heart and soul.-Albany Journal.
