One re- quirement of the Act is that the child -mudt not begin work before 8 e., 00., and must not work later than 5 p. 01. This chase males it easy for the factory in- spectors to see if a child is being worked more than the specified time, because he cannot work before 8 or after 5 o'clock.

THE MAN IN THE MOON. Curious Legend About the Origin of That Being. Thee is a quaint tradition about how the belief in the man in the moon orig. inated that is worth retelling. Like so many of these beliefs, says The Washington Star, it began way back in Bible times, and in quite an- other dress. By many'nations the old man is supposed to be the one who first made his appearance in the Book of Numbers (Chapter xv., verso 32.) Then he was found by the children of Israel gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. He was taken before Moses and con- demned to death. Ho was taken later outside the Damp and atoned until he died, One would think that was punish- ment enough even for go awful a crime, but superstition took him in hand at that point and consigned him to the moon, where, with a bunch of sticks on his tired old back, he was destined to 'climb forever up the shining hill and never reach the top. The story goes that his faithful dogs were permitted to sharp his fate, and if you look carefully when the night is clear and dark you will see the pair toiling away upon their end- less climb, The face of the old man also grew out of the old-time tradition, but the figures are quite plain if one puts on the glasses of imagination.

I can't stand the sound of 0 footfall, Ln most things I am not nervous, but the scrap- ing or squeaking of a (heavy shoe upsets me so that I am fit for nothing the whole day long."
