The Mw Tn te Moon.
According to Pratorius, tbo man In
the moou is tho Patriarch Isaac carry
ing the bundle of Btieks which were to
be lighted to sacrifice his own body on
the mountain top. Dante believes him
to be Coin, carrying a bundle of thorns,
the meanest ottering his lands afforded,
as a present to God. In Iceland the peo
ple claim that they can see the face of
Adam in the moon and that of Eve in
the sun. Among the Frieburgers there
is a superstition which says that the
mam and spots on the moon's face are
the outlines of the traitor, Judas Isosr-
iot, holding his hand over his face while
sneezing just prior to hanging himself.
This last belief accords with the old
Prankish legend, which says that there
was no spot on Luna's bright face until
after the time of the crucifixion of
Christ. Still another story tells us that
in the time of the creation God threw
un offending angel against the face of
the moon, while another is to the effect
that the moon witnessed the creation of
Adam and Eve and took an impress of
their features on his surface, intending
to people bis own land with similar be
ings. When he essayed to imitate God's
works, he made nothing but a slimy ser
pent, which since that day has contin
ue to fold and nnfold its mighty coils
in full view of the descendants of the
God created beings. St. Louis Repub

The late Henry L. Lipman of Phila
delphia gives this interesting statement
regarding the early nse of envelopes in
this country: "About 1842 unguinmed en
velopes made their first appearance as a
new importation from France, anil I was
the first to begin their manufacture in
this country. Shortly afterward I im
proved them by adding gum to the flaps,
ma the gummed envelopes I made were
the first which had been seen anywhere,
and the first envelopes of any kind used
by the United States government were
made by me. The demand at first was
very small. Envelopes were as difficult
to introduce as any new invention or im
provement is at the present time, and
they were considered only as a tempo
rary fad wnicn would soon go ont of
fashion again. That is the reason I did
not patent or push them very hard, espe
cially as I had a good trade in seals and
sealing wax and feared that envelopes
would interfere with them. At first
they were only used for business pur
poses, and it was some time before they
were employed in social correspondence,
as a person was oonsidered lacking in re
Bpect to a friend when he had to lick the
gum on the envelope sent him. I also
mode the first mucilage known in the
United States, and when postage stamps
were introduced the contractor had to
come to' me to learn how the gum was
made, and I gave him the information
gratis."
Ho Lost Bit Com.
"Jndge Emerson, one of the most elo
quent men Illinois ever produced, was
once taken down completely in a speech
at Decatur, said IS. F. Layman, an at
torney of Chicago. "He had a case in
which there were some peculiarly pa
thetic circumstances, the righto of a
young girl whose property had been
squandered and who was reduced to des
titution being involved. Judge Emerson
made the most of it, and as he closed his
speech a solemn hush had fallen over the
sourtroom.
Tears stood in the eyes of the jurors,
and even the judge coughed sympathet
ically and bid his head behind the trial
docket. His opponent, whose name I
have now forgotten, saw that the spell
had to be broken in some way, or his cose
was lost. Arising slowly to his feet, and
in a voice of deep solemnity, and with
slow deliberation, he said, 'Gentlemen
of the jury, let us continue these solemn
exercises by singing the one hundred and
fifteenth psalm. A roar of laughter
followed from the audience, and Judge
Emerson lost his case.
Persevering.
Of the 86 women who, under the lead
ership of Miss Annette Daisy, made a
run into the Cherokee strip when it was
opened lost September, 22 have persever
1 in their undertaking and are now
hauling the lumber themselves for a
house of IS rooms, which tbay will occu
py. Their section of 480 acres is well wa
tered and timbered. They already have
three teams, two cows, chickens and
other stock, and, neatly dressed in short
skirts that come just below the knee and
are met by heavy woolen leggings that
cover the legs from knee to ankle, they
appear ready for all the farming opera
tions their pioneer enterprise involves.

Hear Both Sides.
Never condemn your neighbor un
heard, however many the accusations
which may be preferred against him.
Every story has two ways of being told,
and justice requires that you should hear
the defense as well as the accusation, and
remember that the malignity of enemies
may place you in a similar predicament,
