He Says Luna Means the Moon, and
Most People Are Lunatics.
BLACKSTONE, GREAT JURIST)
.
Defines a Lunatic to be One Who Is In
sane at Times, But Has Lucid Inter
vals During Certain Change.
It is a beautiful new moon not ex
actly new, but since Tuesday night,
vhen we first saw it. I never saw a
larger one nor a brighter one nor one
that balanced itself so proudly in the
western heavens. Not a drop of water
would it spill and some say that means
we will have a dry month and some say
we will have a wet one. To my un
learned mind the moon is the most
complicated and wonderful piece of
machinery in the realms of space. It
makes my head swim to study its ellip
tic orbit, its lunar time and sidereal
time, its librations of latitude and Ion
gitudeand diurnal libration; its ascend
ing and descending nodes and their
retrograde motion which takes eighteen
years and 219 days to complete; its
apogee and perigee, the two points of
which are movable and move along the
circumference of the ellipse from west
to east and complete the circuit in
eight years and 300 days. Sometimes
it comes along a circle in the heavens
that is near the zenith and sometimes
its course is low down in the southern
eky. Its sneed is not uniform as it
moves around the earth, for sometimes
it gets ahead and sometimes it lags be
hind. Its axis is inclined to its orbit
and seems to nod backwards and for
wards for three degrees. Then there
are the ecliuse3, which add to the won
derful complications,, and yet every
phase and every motion obey a law and
are intelligible to men of science. It is
the regularity of irregularities. But
men of science, like Otis Ashmore, un
derstand it all and can make an alma
nac and fortell eclipses for a thousand
years. I have unbounded respect for
these men for Greer and Ashmore and
Dr. Means, all of our own State, and
for the lamented Professor Mitchell,
who was the greatest 'of modern as
tronomers. But this beautiful rew moon provoked
another lice of thought. I saw it-over
my right shoulder and in a clear' sky
and was satisfied, and yet I am not su
perstitious about it. I had just a little
rather see it that way and bo had the
majority of civilized people. Luna
means the moon, and most people are
lunatics. Even Blackstone, the great
jurist, defines a lunatic to be one who
is insane at times but has lucid inter
vals during certain changes of the
moon. And although the medical world
has long since exploded the supersti
tious theory of the moon's influence on
the mind, the name of lunatic still ob
tains and is applied to all insane per
sons. After South Carolina had seceded
a man asked Mr. Pettigrew which wa3
the road to the lunatic asylum. "Any
road all the roads," he said, "the
whole State is one vast lunatic asylum. "
Almost everybody ha3 some supersti
tion about the moon'ti influence on veg
etation. My good neighbor, Mrs. Fields,
told me last week that she had been
busy all day planting her potatoes, 'for"
said she, "you know it is the dark of
the moon now." She is the best gar
dener in tho town and always succeeds,
but she does herself injustice when she
gives the moon any credit for her suc
cess. Many years ago I made a fair
test of the moon theory, for I planted
four rows in my garden in the dark of
the moon and. then four more right be
side them two weeks later and gave all
the samo culture, and I found no differ
ence in the yield. The best time to
plant potatoes' is when the ground is
ready, and it may be very unready if
we wait for the dark of the moon. But
I have found that good farmers differ
about how many days are included in
tho dark of the moon. Some say one,
some say two or three, aud others say
all the days of the moon's wane, which
would be about thirteen.
But, if there is anything in the moon
theory, why confine it to Irish potatoes,
peas;and beans? Whynot apply it to
bweet potatoes and ground peas and
corn and wheat? '
But there are other superstitions that
even the most sersible and well edu
cated people cannot shake off. The
roasted chicken on our table today was
garnished with parsley and we ha,ve
none in our garden. I asked my wife
where it came from, "from Mrs.
Pcstell's, she said. "I will get some
from her, " said I "and plant it. I
sowed the seed last spring, but it did
not come un." ".No," said my wife,
"you won't gei it from Mrs. Postell,
unless you go iu the night and steal it.
She believes that it is a gift that carries
death with the giving, and she wouldent
give 3r.ou a plant for the world. -Why,
she declares that it always causes a
death in the family, and only three
years ago a neignoor puuea up Borne
by.the roots against her protest and
took it home and planted it, and the
woman died within a week. "
Well, now Mrs. Postell is a very
smart, cultured and well-balanced wo
man, but she is a lunatic on that sub
ject, and I fear that my wife is showing
symptoms of the same mady. Cer
tain it ia she will not hear to my getting
parsley plants from anybody as a gift,
and certain it is that lam not going out
at night to steal any. Well, maybe
that if a person has faith in such things
what they believe will happen, for faith
will remove mountains, and if there isa
faith cure there may be a faith kill.
These superstitions are deep-rootedj for:
they come down to us through the
ages. Thero is a plant called rue and
another called rosemary, and both were
used in the days of witchcraft to drive
away evil spirits. They wero called
"herbs cf grace," and were imbued
with saving qualities, while parsley is
of evil omen and dangerous, unless it is
stolen by night.
Bat my wifo insists that a little reas
onable superstition is a "fcpod thing to
Lave, for it proves that we are not over
confident in onr own merits and feel the
need of fortifjisg our welfare. Shesavs
that it indicates a belief in the super
natural and that if we were all like In
geroll and didn't believe in anything,
we would have no f-uperstitions. But
now about these charms these amulets
and opals and these rabbit feet? T-
fay that Colonel Candler carries a rab
bit foot and has faith in it. Maybo he
Las too much faith in it. I have known
men who carried them to have very
bad luck, and men who didn't come out
ahead. And suppose that Atkinson and
Berner and S&in Jcnes ehculd eairy
them, wouldn't they neutralize Cana
ler'u and leave things about even' I
tell yon, my brethren, from the way
this campaign has sirri;ed out one rab
bit foot won't win tho race unless it
comes from a Texas mule-eared rabbit,
fur they told me that those rahbils al
ways run on three feet from a con
xnoa dog, but when a greyhound got
after one tho rabbit had to put down
the cthw.foot. ftp4taf?T e"-

cretin carried the left hind foot of a

that is held in reverence, and that is

This is a four-mile heat, and no jockey
will urge his horse to do his best- until
the last quarter. And no good jockey
will handicap his horse with excessive
weight. My opinion is that some of
the candidates are overloaded with
platform and will break down before
they reach the last quarter. But the
prospect is good for a fair race and lots
of fun, and my hope is that the specta

The Seaboard Air Line Scores Another
Po!nt.
The Seaboard Air Line hfs, for a long time,
contended that as it couhjr not get its sleepers
south of Atlanta and north or Washington,
while other lines were allowed this privileere.
it should, there ore, be a'lowed a differential
rate. This matter was taken up recently with
the Southeastern Passenger Association, the
Trunk Line Association and the A-eociation
of Virginia and the Carolina, and the Sea
board Air Line's claim for differentials was
allowed. ;
The tariffs just published by the above asso
ciations 6how Btandard rates by all ines be
tween the North and South, aa well as the
differentia rnte via the Seaboard Air Line,
which r.Ue is $3 less than-that shown by other
line. The standard rate between New York
and At'antats the differential rate via
the Seaboard Air Line is $ -'l; the rate between
Washington and Atlanta is $17.50. the differ
ential rate via the Seaboard Air Line is $14.t0.
This differential applies between all impor
tantcities in the Southeastern Passenger As
sociation's territory, the Trunk Association
territory.
The fc'e board Air Line now has the matter
up with the New England Passenger Associa
tion, looking to the publishing of these differ
ent! I rates in their tariffs. As soon as this is
granted it ia understood thatthe Seaboard Air
will then go to the Mississippi Ps-enger As

rates from their territory. When this is done
