WHAT THE MOON CAN TELL

A clear moon indicates frost. A doll looking moon means rain. A. single halo around the moon indi* •cates a storm. If the moon looks high, cold weather may be expected. If the moon, looks low down, warm weather Is promised. The new moon on her back always denotes wet weather. A double halo around the moon means very boisterous weather. If the mbon changes with the wind In the east, then shall we hare bad weather. If the moon be bright and clear when three days old, fine weather is - promised. When the moon is visible In the daytime, then may we look forward to cool days. When the points of the crescent of the new moon are very clearly visible, frost may be looked for. If the new moon appear with its points upward, then will the month be dry, but should the points be downward more or less rain must be expected during the next three weeks.— American Queen.
