It was the last day of the late great irost, and, unmindful of my 60 odd years, I undertook to skate 30 miles oi so along the frozen Lea. Wbon I re turned home, I was tired so tirod that scarcely was I seated in my armchair when I found myself nodding, and un doubtedly 1 should have fallen asleer. had not an exceedingly strange circum stance happened. To be briof, then, I was lifted from my ohair in my home in north London, whirled through space for n couple ol hours and then deposited geutly but firmly ou the moon. Soarcely had I reoovered my breath "When an aged mau of venerable aspect, whom I at once recognized as the man in the moon, approached me and in quired my business. I explained that 1 was an involuntary trespasser on his hospitality, and then, thinking as I was there I might as well learn something about the history of our satellite and itt Inhnbituuts supposing there were any I prooefided as respectfully as mighl be to question the old fellow. "Yes; you are right, " he exclaimed in answer to my query as be placed the load of fngota he was carrying on a projecting mass of granite and rested his baok against the cone of an extinct volcano. "I have seen a lot of ohanges in my time. How old am I? Well, I don't know exactly, but it is some mil lions of years ago since my first birth day. 1 "Why, bless my heart, whon I wns u lad, this old driod up moon was as bright and fresh as your earth is now. , "Soasspnrkled in the sunlight, brooks gleamed and flashed through the valleys and forests clothed with verdure the mountains now dead and si lout. Aye, these were glorious times. The birds aug in the woods from early dawn to nightfall, the fishes leaped and plashed and leaped and plashed again in every eddy and pool of our prehistoric rivers. Qreat mammals, some uncouth and some beautiful, but mostly the latter, roamed at will amid the glades of our mighty foreBts. Then, after a million years or so, man came." "Man?" I repeated Incredulously. "Yes, muu," he reiterated rather testily. "Man, of course. Do you think your earth alone has been the home of man? I tell you he lived and flourished here while the oarth was yet formless and void, a vast white hot mass of semi fluid granite. At first he was weak for lack of knowledgo, and fought often unsuccessfully with the wild beasts of the forests for food mid drink and rai ment. Thou as he grew older ho grew wiser and curved for himself weapons of flint and wood, just as the earth man did a million or two years afterwurd. Our lunur men were very clever, too very clever. Not so large or so strong as terrestrial mau, perhaps, bat quicker to learu. Why, it did not take us more than 200, 000 years to perfect our civili sation. " -Ana wnai nappeued then?" was my next query. "Ah, there you have asked a question hard to answer," quoth the old man sadly. "All I know is that one yoar there came a blight over all things. It was not exactly a plngue. It was rather a want of vitality in the atmosphore that reacted with terrible effect ou all animate nature. Alan, being the most highly organized of all things living, was the first to feel its baneful effects, and he dwindled aud pined and finally perished, and the places that had been wont to know him knew him no more forever. "Then as the sunny atmosphere grew mora and more attenuated the mam mal first and afterward every form of animal life grew cold and dead. The lowest forms of plant life lingered for a few thousand years longer, until the last drop of water had evaporated into pace, in fact, and then they, too, van ished, and the moon was left as you see it today, a dead world, without heat the si do of the moon opposite to the earth, amid mountains and valleys, up on whose bald outlines no earthlv eve has ever gazed. It is by far the best side nf the moon, too, but she is gottina rather tirod of living there and talks Bbr.ut changing places with mo. I ex- pent you would be rather surprised down below there if some fluo day or niuht rather you found a woman in the moon instead of a man. Ha, ha, ha!" and for getful of bis recent fit of the blues the eld chap gave vent to a hoarty guffuw. we should Indoed." I ronlied. latyjhiug fumy turn, "although I fancy, unless your sister's appearance differs in a marked degree from your own, that we should soarcely be able to distin guish the difference. Yon must admit yourself that one must possess good eye sight to toll a man from a woman 240, -100 miles away." Ob, but," answered the old man. with a touoh of family pride, "she is a fine woman I Not bent and bowed with age like me. Indeed she is really 0. 000. 000 years younger than am I. Then, of course, she dresses in in" The habiliments suitable to her sex," I ventured to say. Precisely, aud, like all the women here, is fond of dress. Why, when I lust visited her, some 25,000 years ago, al most her first question was, 'How do tbo women dress now on the earth?' Of course there wasn't much to tell her be cause well, the women of that day didn't troubla themsolves much abont dress, but I am thinking of paying her another visit soon, aud then I shall have a different budget of news for her. " But toll me." 1 interrupted, fori was not much interested in the old fol low s sister, "something about the earth. You must have seen almost as great changes in the earth as in the moon. ' COLOR SCHEME FOR SMALL HOUSE, . . Lot Old Ilia I'rodouilimt la parlor, Li brary anil Dining It nam. . How few people when furnishing a smull house or flat remember tbut old blue is one of the huppiost colors to choose for u foundation, writes Frunces Ann Hoadloy in Tho Ladies' Home Journal. In a house where, as a rule, all the rooms open into one another, es pecial cure must be taken to presorve burinony. It is better then to select one color which shall run through all the rooms. Old blue is the color pur excel lence in such ocuse, combined with tun, gruy or white for the rugs, while the same scheme prevails in the heuvy dra peries. A lovely little house in mind has a parlor and library in ouo. The large rug, covoriug the greater part of the room, is old blue uud gray. In front of the fireplace is a loua. Unlit arav fur one. A broad, low lounge is covered with dark gray. It is always better to cover a lounge in a solid color, as it takes more kindly to the pillows of end less hues. The large dining room rng is old blue and tan, with smaller rugs of tawny brown. The bedroom has an old blue aud white large rug and white fur smaller ones. .Let old blue predorni nute everywhere in the floor furnishings ana draperies, but not to the exclusion of all other colors elsewhore, for where one color only is used the effect as whole is flat. Let there be odd bright coior loucnes in the way of pillows, lamp shudes, odd bits of china and brio a-brao, but with always an eye to wnat is tne proper color for euch room, When all furnished bo cureful to s whether all of the rooms blend into beautiful harmony. In a bedroom white enameled or birds eye maple is exquisite where two or three pieces of fresh old mahogany are added, hach heightens the other's bean ty in a most charming manner. A room furnished eutirely in mahoguny gives a Heavy, dismal effect, but in a parlor and library combined, say in a flat or small house, place a large, quaintly carved old desk and one of those highly polished, round curd tubles, and see what an air they give to the modorn and equally beautiful furniture. In the dining room a square muhogany table witn a surface like class, and even a small buffet or china cabinet, will be quite enough of the antique to set off everything else in the room. Have ex quisitely drawu linen doilies, candles in rose colored shades and a profusion of, tay, piua: carnations ana yoa nave a lovely lunch table. In a house the hall should be a leading feature enticing, not cold, bare and cheerless, repelling one from further acquaintance with the house and its mistress. A hull is like NERVOUSNESS.- THE CLASSES OF PEOPLE WHO SUFFER FROM IT. Brain Workers, 1'eople Who Worry and 1'eople Who Kndura Long Continued Physical Htraln. From the Examiner, Hun FrimeiHCO, ( al. It is generally agreed that a man's physical condition is dependent, to a great degree, upon the nature of his employment. Men whose occupations necessitate the constant use of the brain, without any opportunity for physical exercise, are generally nervous, while men employed at manual lubor roquir iug no exercise of the brain function, are almost universally possessed of sound nervous systems, not easily dis turbed by exciting events. A striking illustration of this prin ciple is found in the case of Professor George E. Coleman, who is a profes sional pianist, and who was, until within recent years, a druggist. Pro fessor Coleman lives at 1 330 Buchanan street, San Francisco. He is well known here as a pianist, having played in some of the most popular music balls in the city. Mr. Coleman is not a man of strong frame, and he has been an easy prey to the severe nervous ten sion of his work at the piano. He has bad to play continuously for several hours during every evening for five years, and his nervous system finally gave way under the strain. He was forced to retire from regular work at the piano, but that did not have the effect of improving his condition. Upon the oontrary, he steadily grew worse. His nerves had been shattered, and in addition he discovered that one of his lungs had been affected by his having been exposed to counter draughts in poorly ventilated halls. His condition soon became such that he was confined to his home, and fin ally gave himself over to the oare of a physician. Mr. Coleman's experienoe as a druggist had given him an ac quaintance with diseases and their remedies, so he had a full knowledge of just what was necessary on his part to affeot a oure. "After several weeks' careful treat ment by a physician," said Mr. Cole man, "I could notice no improvement in my condition. If anything, I think was considerably worse. The aotion of my lungs had become so weak that was afraid to walk any distance un assisted for fear of falling, through loss of respiration. Mv nervousness had advanced to an alarming stage. I I'KACTK'AL LOGIC. an introduction HERE'S A NUT TO CRACK. "Almost," was the answer, "but not quite. My world is cold and dead. Yours 1b still alive, as was mine once, but your turn will come some day, and then wo shall both go circling through space, cold, silent and lifeless. But that," he continued, "will be many millons of years from now, almost as many millions as it is since I first set eyes on yonr planet. Then, as I said be fore, it was a mere mass of molten mat tera vast white hot ball whirling round the sun and carrying mo with it. I remember as though it were yestorday the first beginning of earthly life. At first the seas covered everything, and beautiful specimons of marine flora floated everywhere upon the surface of the water, while in its translucent depths fishes of strange form and glo rious coloring disported themselves. Then the dry land began to appear, and by slow degrees the great forests that Bhrouded as with a mantle nil the earth not covered by tho waters. For millions of years what you are pleased to call the lower animals were the only deni zens of their somber depths, and even after man came it was hundreds of thousands of years before he even par tially dominated the fuoe of nature." "But was there not," I asked, "an ice ago?" A whnt?" hoexolaimed. with a duz- ziei expression of countenance. "An ice ago, " I repeated. "A period of time whou the ice, which, as you are aware, is always present at the poles, spread northward and southward until it enveloped almost the entire globe." "Oh, yes," responded mine host, with the air of a mun trying to recall some long forgotten and altogether triv ial incident. "I believe something of the kind did happen, and not morethau 100,000 or 150,000 years ago either. But it only lasted about 20.000 vears. aud I bad quite forgotten all about it until yon mentioned it." This conoluded the interview, for although I would have liked to have pursued my inquiries further the old chap suddenly snatched up his bundle, bent his baok and resumed his orthodox position, at the sume time indicating by a gesture that he was not inclined for any further conversation. "We are right over Greenwich observatory," he ex plained in answer to my look of sur prise, "and I don't want tho astrono mers thore to see me without my bun dle and talking to a stranger toa It isn't respectable. "London Amusing Journal. A I'nzile That May Give Leisure Mind Something; to Think Of. I have found the following interest ing problem in an old notebook, writes fair Walter Besaut. I have no recollec tion at all of its origin. Perhaps every body knows it.. Perhaps everybody does not. Those who do not will find it, I think, unless they bring algebra to bear upon it, lather a tough nut to crack. Here it is. Oiice thete were three nig gerstheir wickedness is a negligible quantity; it does not enter into the problem who robbed an orchard, car ried away tho apples in a suck, laid them up in a barn for the night and went to bod. One of them woke up be fore dawn, und, being distrustful of his friends, thought he would make sure of his share ut once. He therefore went to the burn, divided the apples in to three equal heaps there was one over, which he threw away und car ried off his share. Another nigger then woke up with the same uneasiness and the same resolution. He, too, divided the apples into three heaps there was one over, which he threw away took his share, and carried it off. And then the third nigger woke up with the same emotions. He, too, divided the remain ing apples into thiee portions there was one over, which he threw away took his share and departed. In the morning every one preserved silence over his doings of the night ; they divided the apples which were loft into three heaps one was over, which they threw away and so took each his shure. How many apples were there in the sack? There ure muny possible an swers a whole series of numbers but let us have the lowest number of apples possible. Senior wranglers must be good enough not to answer this question, Moralists, ir tiiey please, may narrate the subsequent history of these three niggers, apart from the problem of their apples.

It was while I was in this condition that I no ticed in a paper an article on Will iams' Pink PillH. I determined to try them, even though they killed me. Well, they didn't kill me, but I'm not going to tell yon that they cured me immediately, my oase was much too serious for that. But I had not taken a full box befort. I felt a great relief. My respiration was more certain, I was gradually gainingoontr.il of my nerves, and my condition was generally im proved. I kept right on taking the pills and getting well. Now I had taken just three boxes of them when considered myself a cured man. And I was right, for although I quit taking tne puis, l did not relapse into my for' mer condition, but grew stronger daily, It was truly a marvelous cure, and I will say that I think Williams' Pills possess remarkable curative properties, and I would recommend them to the use of the thousands of people of this city who are nervous wrecks, or who are suffering from diseases of the lungs."

The greatest wonder of the antipodes is the celebruted glowworm cavern, discovered in 1801 in the heart of the Tasmaniau wilderness. The caveru or caverns (there appears to be a series of such caverns in the vicinity, euch sepa rate and distinct) are situated near the town of Southport, Tasmaniu, in a lime stone bluff, about four miles from Ida bay. The appearance of the main cav ern is that of uu underground river, the entire floor of the subterranean passage being covered with wati-r abont a foot and a half in depth. These wonderful Tasmaniau caves are similar to all cav erns found in limestone formation, with the exception that their roofs and sides literally shine with the light emitted by the millions of glowworms which in habit them.
