Forec.asting the Weatner. Of 111 the scieutitc deartments the weather bureau was star'ted with the least :ronnt of knowle: of its pa: ticulbir s'.er't. I ::d.tiegendent ob'serv 's had gtwr.d :: si n~ali amoniu of disassociated facts : nd un:s!ed coelkU sion as it su;ted them upon the facts. Iut neteorology was a verv iudetinitc thing, strongly tibered with bad guos es. myths, traditions and theories. It wans like the German grammar of which Mark Twain, complained. For every page of rules there were forty pages of exceptions. When the weath er bureau was started it was with lit tle worth while. It had to map out a ,ampaign of study, and there was no way of telling how long it might be before the study would permit of the ha yim:z down of rules. Every one kuows that the bureau is far lore etil cient thau it was. It is getting the hangr of the weather. learning its mul titudinous tricks. its coyness and treachery. It is in the nature of tht case a slow affair.-Toledo Blade. Not to Be Deceived. "John." she asked after she had fin ished packing her trunk. "wil! you re member to water the tdowers in the porch boxes every day-' "Yes. dear. I'll see that they are properly moistened regularly." "And the rubber plant in the dining room. You know it will have to be sprayed about three times a week." "I'll remember it." "rm afraid you'll forget the canary and let the poor little thing starve." "Don't worry about the bird. dear. I'll take good care of him." "But 1 feel sure you'll forget about keeping the curtains drawn so that I things won't all be faded out when I get back." "Don't give yourself a moment's un easiness about the curtains. I'll keep the house as dark as a tunnel." "John. I'm not going. You have some reason for being anxious to get rid of me."-Chicngo Record-Herald.\ The Druids. The Druids were evidently of very great antiquity. for there cannot be much doubt that it was one of their customs that Virgil had in mind when he wrote in the "Aeneid." vi. 142. that . the "only means of access for a living mortal to the world of spirits was the carrying of a golden twig which grew in a dark and thick grove." The re semblance of the story to the Druidical rite is perfect. The Druids practiced their rites in dark groves. If a mis tletoe was discovered growing upon I an oak a priest severed it with a knife. I and a festival was held under the tree at which two milk white bulls were ,offered as a sacrifice. This was a sne rifice to the sun god, and the mistletoe. from its pale greenish yellow tint. was regarded as a kind of vegetable gold and was accordingly looked upon as being a fit offering to the sun.-New York American. Catching Speed. Two wild eyed horses. wearing dilap idated harness and drawing a battered delivery wagon. stopped at the stable door. "Just had a runaway!" panted the e driver. "Then, for heaven's sake, don't put those horses In with the other horses that will soon go out on a trip." said the head hostler. "If you do they'11 run away too. . They alwavs do. Be fore I learne'd as much about horses as 1 know now I brought on a dozen runaways by doing that fool trick.I The horses that have just been on a * spree are still worked up to fever pitch. the rest of the horses catch the spirit of the devil from them, and as~ soon as they get out they' take a header"-New York Times. Deep Mourning. The manager of the theater racked his brain in vain. "We must do something," he repeat ed bitterly. "People will expect us to -do something to show respect to the proprietor now that he is dead." "Shall we close for the night of the funeral?" suggested the assistant stage "Wt hsbusiness? You're a fool, laddie, a fooL. No; put the chorus in black stockings. " And it was even so.-Sporting Times. A Virginia Dlsh. I In a baking dish place alternate lay ers of suiced apples and sliced boiled sweet potatoes, each layer sweetened oand flavored with. nutmeg. Add a -lump of butter, pour over a little water and bake slowly until the top is nicely browned. Serve in dish in which it is baked.-National Magazine. Friendly Candor. "Is he a friend of yours?" "Well, he seems to think he is. He never meets me without feeling that it Is hIs duty to tell me somiething that will leave me unhappy for the rest of the day."-Chicago Record-Herald.I Loyal.I -1 have no patience with Dubbins.' He sneers at Velasquez."' "Well. I don't care much for foreign ers rmyself, but if Velasquez is a friend of yours I don't blame you for getting sore."--Sirninagham Age-Herald. i Too Willing.I Tramp-Mister, would you give me a nickel for a meal? Pedestrian-For a glass of beer, more likely. Tramp Woterer you says. boss; you're payin' for it.-Exchaine. Mislaid. "I mislaid $50 last night." -'Hard lines: Can't you think where you put it?" "Yes.

Morse' and the Telegraph Operator. Immediately after the successful ampletion of the first transatlantle ible and the consequent celebrations. t which, of course, Cyrus W. Field re a prominent part, Professor Morse ad occasion to send a telegram from small town in Ohio to his home in ew York. He wrote out his message ad presented it to the operator, who pidly checked it off with his pencil 2d curtly demanded a dollar. "But," said the venerable inventor, [ never pay for messages," and, see kg an Inquiring look In the operator's res, added, "I'rm, In fact the father I the telegraph." "Then," said the operator, firmly con nced that he was being imposed up 1, "why don't. you sign your own ime, Cyrus W. Field?' Professor Morse when telling ory used to say that hewastooho iliated to answer. Armchair Etiquette. The question of anr armchair was ice a matter of high state-in the for nes of Prussia. This was in the ar 1696, when the Elector Frederiek visiting at The Hague ~that PrineJ Orange whom his father and'he had ,en instrumental in raising to the dig ty of king as William IIL of Eng ad was informed that during the in, rvlew the king would be seated- on i armchair of state,. while -he (the ector) would be accommodated with k ordinary settle or stool. Ingreat idgeon (as Mr. Brayley Hodgetts re .s in "The House of Hohenzollern"' e elector rejoined that if he was not - orthy of an armchair his troops haid least been thought good enough to sist the Prince of Orange to mount e royal throne of England. Fina4 compromise was effected, and the ro sovereigns conversed with one an her standing. The Same Custom. A. magazine editor at the Authors ab. In New York, was talking about G. Weli. "Wells -is now the fore ost English novelist," he- said itrange that a man so talented should isjudge us as he does. When he as over here he found fault with erything. One day-at lunch, getting -ed of his attacks on the tyranny' of r trusts and our bosses, I said: Vel, at leit, M.Wells, you miust mit the grandeur of the magnificent tue of Liberty that rears its proud 'ad over our harbor? "Oh, yes,' said Mr. Wells, 'you .ye the same custom as we-you rear ur finest statues to the died?" An Essay on Woman.
