It was the last day of the late
great frost, and, unmindful of mv
fifty odd years, I undertook to skate
twenty miles or so along lLo frozen
Lea. When I returned home I wa.-
tired, so tired that scarcely was I
seated in my armchair when I fo*un i
mvself nodding, and undoubted!.' i

exceedingly strange

i’o be brief, then, ± ’us hlle
i-■ j -iCIIHi in IIOll.:
thr
a couple <*f hour, an
ed, gently, but : mily, on the moon.
Scarcely i:ad 1 recovered mv
breath when an aged man of ven
erable aspect, wim ;n L at once recog
nized a- the man m the moon, ap
proached me and inquired my busi
ness. I explained that I was an
involuntary trespasser on his hos
pitality, and then, thinking as I
was there I might as well learn
somethin/j about the history of our
satellite an<5 its inhabitants—sup
posing there were aqy—I proceeded
as respectfully as might be to ques
tion the old fellow.
“Yea, you are right 1” he exclaim
ed in answer to mjr query u ie
placed the load qf fagots ha was oar-
iring on a projecting mass of cran-
Ite aqd lyste^ his bapk against the
cone of an extinct volcano’. “I have
seen a lot of changes in my time.
How old am I? Wall, I don’t know
exactly, but it is some millions of
yean ago since my first birthday.
“Why, bless my heart, when I
was a lad this old, dried up moon
was as bright and fresh as your
earth is now.
“Seas sparkled in the sunlight,
brooks gleamed and dashed through
the valleys, and forests clothed with
verdure the mountains now dead
and silent. Aye, these were glorious-
times. The birds sang 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 riven. Great
mammals, some uncouth and some
beautiful, but mostly the latter,
roamed at will amid the glades of
our mighty forests. Then, after a
mEnm/ years or so, man came.”
“Man?” I repeated incredulously.
“Yes, man,” 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 earth
was yet formless and void, a vast
white hot mass of semifluid granite.
At first he was weak for lack of
knowledge, and fought—often un
successfully—with the wild beasts
of the forests for food and drink
and raiment. Then as he grew older
he grew wiser and carved for him
self weapons of flint and wood, just
as the earth man did a million or
two years afterward. Our lunar
men were very ciever, too, very
clever; not so large or so strong
as terrestrial man, perhaps, but
quicker to learn. Why, it did not
take us more than 200,000 years to
perfect our civilisation.”
“And what happened then?” was
my next query.
“Ah, there you have asked a
a uestion hard to answer,” quoth
ie old man sadly. “All I know
is that one year there came a blight
over all things. It was not exactly
a plague. .It was rather a want of
vitality in the atmosphere that re
acted with terrible effect on all ani
mate nature. Man, being the most
highly organized of all things liv
ing, was the first to feel its baneful
effects, and he dwindled and 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 more and more attenuated the
mammals 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 space, in
fact, and then they, too, vanished,
and the moon was left as yon see it
today—a dead world, without heat,
atmosphere or moisture.”
“A sad fate, surely, but you must
have become resigned,” I laid sooth
ingly, for the old man was sighing
heavily and gazing fixedly into
space, as though he saw again the
]o«t visions of Iona liven he had
been describing.
“No, I am not resigned.” And
he shook his head slowly from side
to side. “Both myself and my sis
ter look forward to better times to
come.”
“Your sister?” I exclaimed won-
daringiy. “I was not aware”—
‘T^at I had a sister?” ht inter
rupted. “Oh, ves, I have, but I for
got! 1 course you have never
Man her. She lives on the side of
the moon opposite to the earth,
amid mountains and valleys, upon
whose bold outlines no earthly eye
has ever gazed. It is by far the
beat mde of the moon, too, but she
is getting rather tired at living
there and talks about changing
places with me. I expeet you would
be rather surprised down below
there if some fine day—or night,
rather—you found a woman in the
moon instead of a man. Ha, ha,
ha!" And forgetful of his recent
fit of the blues the old chap gave
vent to a hearty guffaw.
“We should indeed,” I replied,
laughing in my turn, “although I
fancy, unless your sister’s appear
ance differs in a marked degree
from your own, that we should
scarcely be able to distinguish the
difference. You must admit your
self that one must possess good
eyesight to tell a man from a wo
man 240,000 miles away.”
“Oh, but,” answered the old
man, with a touch of family pride,
“she is a fine woman! Not bei :
and bowed with age like me. IndeeJ
she is really 6,000.000 years your;
er than am I. Tr :n, of course, she
dresses in—in”—
“The habiliments suitable to her
sex,” I ventured to say.
“Precisely, and, like all the wo
men here, is fond of dress. Why,
when I last visited her, some 25,000
years ago, almost her first question
was, ‘How do the women dress now
«n the earth?’ Of course there
wasn’t much to tell her, beoauae—
pell, Jhe of that day didn’t
trouble themselves much about
dress, but I am thinking of paying
her another visit soon, and then I
•hall have a different budget of newt
for her.”
“But tell me,” I interrupted, ioi
I was not much interested in the old
fellow’s sister, “something about
the earth. You must have seen al
most as great changes in the earth
as in the moon.”
“Almost,” was the answer, “but
not quite. My world is cold and
dead. Yours is still alive, as was
mine once, but your turn will come
some day, and then we shall both go
circling through space, cold, silent
and lifeless. But that,” he contin
ued, “will be many millions of years
from now, almost as many millions
as it is since I first set eyes on your
planet. Then, as I said before, it
was a mere mass of molten matter—
a vast white hot ball whirling round
the sun and carrying me with it.
I remember as though it were yes
terday the fitBt beginning of earth
ly life. At first the seas covered
everything, and beautiful specimens
of marine flora floated everywhere
upon the surface of the water, while
in its translucent depths fishes of
strange form and glorious coloring
disported themselves. Then the dry
land began to appear, and by slow
degrees the great forests that
shrouded as with a mantle all the
earth not covered by the waters.
For millions of years what you are
pleased to call the lower animals
were the only denizens of their
somber depths, and even after man
came it was hundreds of thousands
of years before he even partially
dominated the face of nature.”
“But was there not,” I asked, “an
ice age ?”
“A what?” he exclaimed, with a
puzzled expression of countenance.
“An ice age,” I repeated, “a
period of time when the ice, which,
as you are aware, is always present
at the pole6, spread northward and
southward until it enveloped almost
the entire globe.”
“Oh, yes,” responded mine host,
with the air of a man trying to re
call some long forgotten and alto
gether trivial incident. “I believe
something of the kind did happen,
and not more than 100,000 or 150,-
000 years ago either. But it only
lasted about 20,000 years, and I had
quite forgotten all about it until
you mentioned it.”
This concluded the interview, foi
although I would have liked to have
pursued my inquiries further the
old chap suddenly snatched up his
bundle, bent his back and resumed
his orthodox position, at the same
time indicating by a gesture that he
was not inclined for any further
conversation. “We are right over
Greenwich observatory,” he explain
ed in answer to my look of surprise,
“and I don’t want the astronomer!
there to see me without my bundle
and talking to a stranger too. It
isn't respectable.”—London Amu*-

A Fatal Objection.
A woman of newly acquired
wealth went into a Fifth avenue art
nailery and said she wanted a paint-
fang a certain size.
“I have junt what yon want,” ths
dealer assured her, and he showed
her a genuine Troyon of the size de-
■tred, a beautiful animal painting.
The woman looked at it for a tea
minutes and shook her head.
“It won’t do,” she said. “I want
this ] picture for my drawing room.'
“Well?” questioned the dealer,
who saw no reason for the rejectior
