MOON AND 1 j^f ]Ktt is Their 3?robab Oth Yovkville i What influence, if any, docs the | 1 t,0n bave on the seasons? This is a ,g mooted question, andas to bow gni lc answered by different people Fpends entirely upon cincumatancetj? por n?tancc, if a man's father be eved io the moon before him, tbcn Lis pretty apt to believe in it him* Tjjf, If he was raised in ignorance or ?isregaid of thc traditions respecting ?e moon, then he is likely to continue jkt way. That is, unless there j i houlu happen, at sometime, some i ( Euident that serves to furnish strong j convincing evidence ono way or e other. I am not a farmer. I know nothing i \ [bout the moon. Until recently, I ? i (??d not know that thc first two quar ks of the new moon were called the light,'1 and the' last ,two quarters [?ere called the "dark." All my life have heard farmers talking of planting in the moon;" but not being jjble to understand how the moon ?U?j exercise influence on crops, I kave been disposed to dismiss matters relating to the moon as idle supersti tion. Recently I have undertaken to ?avestigate the matter, and while I ?.ave not been able *.o learn anything ?bat seems to be Of practical value to ybody, the result of some of :ny in jioirics have been somewhat interest I know very little more now, Cowerer, than I did before. Not having at hand any literature a the subject, my investigations took I* vb ape of a series of inquiries of iifferent people who were supposed to [? more or less versed on the prevail D? theories. One of the first men I ?appened to speak to was a learned linister of the gospol. He said, Well. I really do not know much bout the influence of the moon on the easons; but I suppose it has some. [or instance, if you will read Deute oDomy, xx xiii, 14, where Moses was ovoking his last blessings on the hildrcn of Israel, you will find this : And for the precious things of the ?fruits of the sun; and for the precious binga of the growth of the moon.' Joing on to Psalm civ,'19, you will jSod this: 'He appointed the moon or Heasons.' " ... Some people believe that every word ii the Bible is inspired, and that it neans just what it says. I am not ;oiog to discuss that now; but I thank he good minister for his references. The quotations at least shoi? that the )elief with regard to the influence of :he moon on crops is a very old one. [t is net confined entirety to the igno r?t and superstitious^ Intelligent ?eople, even if they ard unable to give > satisfactory "wiry," seem to have <ery good ground for believing as they lo. Next, I made inquiry of a well edu cated man who had been a farmer all bis life; but was not certain as to how such importance to attach to tie in fluence of tho moon. * He said to mc: "Most of my neighbors believed in thc noon more than in the seasons, and ?ere not disposed to plant until the soon was right. I wrote to the North Carolina Experiment station and asked them to give me whatever information they migH 'ha.e oa V. subject. Their reply was to the effect that while there is no doubt that, the moon bas more or less influence oa crops, I !isd better go ahead and plant when ever I should find it convenient to do o, for they did not think that tho influence of the moon was great enough o make much difference." ' Several farmers ?6 whom ! talked [vere of opinion, that Iho moon had no nfluence whatever on the crops;.hint they were unable to give positive proof Br even reasons. 'Others believed in the moon with exactly the same kind rf faith. Bet while there were many who did not think that the moon1 in fluenced crops,. , there were.qtiito? ? number who thought it certainly in fluenced the quality of timber. Nine jut of 10 said that timber felled in the Jark of the moon would continuer wot and sobby, impossible to seaaoo, while timber out in the Irght of the moon would season quickly and become light and dry. Only a few gave testimy to the effect that tbey had over gotten [opposite and porfectly satisfactory re?; .?lits from timber out in tho "dark" of ?he moon. One man, however--and, ?e is intelligent and reliable--naid that he had felled, timber in the dark of tho moon and had it to season as nicely as any ho had ever seen. One of the most positive disbeliev ers in the moon theory was an old gentleman who is botweori 70 and 80 yeara of ago. He ba? been.engaged io faming much of his life, and has always t been recognizedof an unusu ally investigating turo of mind. He 9*ys that ' ho has noted the, ; moon su perstition with moro or jess humor all his lifo. He calls it a superstition, because ho is convinced th at it is ?neb, *sd started on his career with that in formation as a part of his stook of ex perience. Hero ia the story with which ho explains his position. ''In fHE CROPS. >le Relation to Each er. Inquirer. lis day and time, my grandfather was coked upon by bis neighbors as a nan of much mor? than ordinary in* elligence. He was not what Von YOU ld call an educated man ; but still ie could read and Write, and keep ac :ounts, etc. He was a farmer all bis if e. and up until bc was 80 years of ige worked in thc field at whatever vas to bc done. He was a great be iever in the moon, and what he did lot know about the moon's influence m crops, nobody else knew. He vould not think of planting, killing logs or doing anything else that the noon is supposed to have control of, mless thc moon was right. After he vas forced, by age, etc., to quit his ictive labors in the field, he continued :o direct ?operations, saw that proper .espeot was paid to the moon, and ?ept a careful diary of everything that vas done on the farm, showing just vhere the moon was when different ?rops were planted. He kept this up 'or 20 years. He lived to be 101 > ear.s of age. Well, about a year be fore he died, he was entirely convert ed. To his children, grand-children, friends and neighbors, he repeatedly nade this observation: 'Well, now I am a hundred years old. and I have inly reached that age to discover what i fool I have been all my life. All this time, I have believed that the moon exercised a most important in fluence on every crop, and during the past 20 years I have demonstrated be yond a possible doubt that tts influ ence on the crop is simply nothing.' " So the old gentleman, who has had thc benefit of this experience, is thorough ly convinced that there is absolutely nothing in the moon theory. Ordinarily this might be taken to settle the whole question; but still I was not satisfied. I had heard of an other intelligent farmer who had tho reputation of being not only thorough ly info, med as to the influence of the moon; but who could give me some facts and figures. I had a talk with him and-he got me all mixed up again. "I have been noticing the moon for 30 years," he said, "and it certainly exerts not only a wonderful influence on timber, but on all manner of crops. And why not? Your geography teaches you that the moon influences thc tides, and if it influences the tides, why uot other things? No, cannot give you reasons; but I can give you something that is better-I mean facts. . 4 When I was a young man growing up, I did not believe much in the moen. But one day an old gentleman who did believe in it, ga.'e me the whole theory,' etc. I Was going to build a fence, and he told me to cut my timber in the light.of thc moon. It was convenient to carry out his ad vice and I did as he said; but as I wanted to satisfy myself a little fur ther, I experimented some. I. wen* out in the dark of the-moon, cuta pine sapling about 20 feet long and threw it down in a wornout old field. The next week I cut another sapling, just like the first L the light of the moon, also put it ou 6 in the field hy the sido of the first "At the end of two years the sapling that I had cut in the dark ol the moon wa* so rotten thal iii WOuid nut, hoid up its own weight, ; while. the other was still sound. ' 1 cut another sapling in the dark of tho moon ?nd. let it lie for two years, at the en? of which time, both it and the sapling that I had cut in tho light of the moon.were rotten. The test was in every way absolutely fair, and the light of the moon sapling lasted just twice as long as the other. "Since then," the gentleman con tinued, "I have made other tests, not only for my own satisfaction but for the satisfaction of others, tfor in stance I weighed a cord of wood cut in the dark of the moon in August, and found that it is 220 pounds heav ier than a cord of wood cut in' tho light of the moon during the same month. Then I tried it again in De cember, when the sap was all down, and I found that the difference was only about 110pounds the wood that was cut in the dark of thc moon still bei pg the, h eavi?r. "It has been niy observation that there is very little in the general theory that root crops should be planted in the dark of the moon and other crops' in thc light of the moon. It is a fact that sweet potatoes, for instance, will .make more vines if planted io the light of die moon: but then the potatoes will alco beabout as good. .1 invariably plant 'oom in the' dark of the ;uoon. and I lind that it will weigh 3c>a? two pounds to the bushel 'more than if planted in the light of .-the moon. A? to whether there is any more substance in it, I am unable to say; but it is a fact that the weight is there. "Again: Cut pcavin?s in the dark of tho moon, . and they will weigh something like 200 pounds more to thc two-horse load than if ont in the light of the moon. I have tried thia time snd again; but the right time to out peavines ia in the light of the moon? They .cure out better .and make a muoh finer qw ilily of hay." And so it goes. 1 Snolsome intelli gent men on one sida and some on the other. Those who believe in the moon differ as to details; Hut their belief is unshakable. Those who do not be lieve in the moon are not to be con vinced by statement! of facts, prinoi pally because the fapis are not aceom panied by reasons W. 0. T. ?". DEPARTMENT. Conducted by tho ladies of tho W, C. T. U. of Anderson, S. C. What One Woman Did. A working man in the village of Shannon, III., spent $50 in one of tho four saloons of the place one evening recently. His wife, justly indignant, sought to punish the saloon keepers. She set a watch over two of the sa loons on Sunday and took tho name of every man seen entering. Then she trent before the grand jury, in session it Mt. Carroll, and entered complaiut, giving as witnesses the names of the men who had been seen going into the saloous on Sunday. Thc sheriff was sent to Shannon after them. He reaehed there between midnight and daylight, and with the assistance of the looal constable, routed out four teen soared men and served subponas on them. They all went to Mt. Car roll and testified, and the grand jury found twelve indictments against one saloon keeper and one against thc other. Both pleaded guilty. The lat ter was fined $50 ; the other one fled the town in dismay, and his bonds men will probably have his fines to pay. The good people of Shannon are hoping thc spring election will result in closing all the saloons. The Difference. Thc young man who thinks he can afford to take two or three glasses of beer or whiskey eaeh day and never miss the sum he spends, would do well to reckon up bow much these drinks would amount to in the course of a year. Some ten years ago three young men in Columbus, Ohio, carpenters by trade, engaged to work for a build er, promising to stay with him until a certain piece of work was completed. They were to receive the same wages, and were to draw them as they chose. The work lasted from spring until Christmas. On the final settlement one of the young men, who frequented the tavern and was a pretty hard drinker, found a balance to his credit of $2.50. The second, who was a somewhat moderate drinker, had $11 ; the third, who was a teetotaler, had $150. The first and second wore very seedy clothes and were in debt. The third had a good suit of clothes and no debt. Surely total abstinence pays! -Temperance Banner. Who Is Responsible? A quiet, well-to-do neighborhood is shocked by a horrid crime. An inno cent life is sacrificed and other lives are wrecked. "He was drunk," is thc explanation. That ia the statement of the immediate cause, but does that sum up the case ? Is the community innocent ? Have the people been ac tive in sustaining the publie sentiment Against intemperance ? Have they, hy thc enforcement of the laws, done all in their power to prevent the sale of liquors 9 Have drunken men been arrested and made to suffer for their crime? Have the people, who are themselves temperate, felt that they are responsible for the social customs of their community and thc personal habits of those under their care ? Do they realize that the individual is, in large measure, the product of the community in which he has been brought bp and lives?-Uniteti Pres byterian, f Keep Your Top Cool, i lt is reported of Armetus Ward that he once offered his flask of whiskey to tho driver of the stage on the top of which he was riding through a moun tainous seotion. The stage driver re fused the flask in most decided tones. Said he: "I don't drink; I won't drink; I don't like to-eeo anybody else drink. I am of the opinion of those mountains: keep your top cool. They have got snow and I've got brains : that's all thc difference." There's a great deal of wisdom in his remark, "Keep your top cool." Without a* sound brain man is not muoh use to the world. Alcohol, whether in beer, cider, wine, brandy, of whiskey, is a foe of the brain : and when it gets there it inflames it and renders it unfit for use. Be like the honest stage driver and resolve to "keepVour ..top cool."-Little Folks' Paper. "Only Shree." Many a man has gone to a drunk ard's grave because he could not say "No." Daniel and his associates dared to say "No," and would not drink a glass of wine to please tho mightiest king on earth, though they were captives, dependent on his mercy and his bounty. What was tho re sult ? They were blessed and honor ed, and their names are known through the ages, while the time-serving wine bibbers are forgotten long ago.

"Only three, if you please, General; excuse me," promptly and courteous ly spoke Gen. Fisk. "You'll not refuse to drink with me, will you?" said thc superior offi cer. "If 1 should drink now, it would be thc first time. You would not advise me to begin now, would you, General?" "No, God bless you ! Long may you wave !" was the gracious and gal lant rcsponcc.

Y., July ti.-An autopsy waB held this morning on the body of Rabbi Louis Ginsburg, who died last night from a knife wound iofiioted by a negro on the morning of July 4. Tho autopsy corroborated tho claims of Dr. F. L. Forker, who per formed thc remarkable operation of sewing tho wound in the heart. Rabbi Ginsburg lived for forty hours after the wound in the heart was sewed up, and death is said to have been due to septic inflammation of thc pericardium rather than from loss of blood. When Dr. Forker reached the place after the tragedy he found the Rabbi nearly dead from loss of blood. Du ring tho operation he transfused into the man's veins about three quarts of saline solution to take the place of the lost blood and keep up life It was then necessary to cut off one of the ribs and push back two others in order to get an opening to perform the operation. Then, in spite of the flow of blood, Dr. Forker, assisted by Drs L. H. Quackonbush and C. G. Colo, took three stitches in the heart and stopped the flow of blood. One of the stitches was taken deep ly into the muscles of the heart, and the other two through the heart skin.
