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

Cities and Race Vitality.
The Napoleon wars so drained the
lower of French manhood that even
oday the physical stature of the aver
ge Frenchman is nearly half an inch
elow what it was at the begtning of
apoleon's reign.
The country in America today Is con
tautly, paying a similar tribute to the
ity in the sacrifice of its best blood,
bs best brain, the finest physical and
3ental fiber in the world. This grat
tream of superb country manhood
rhich is ever flowing cityward is rap.
Bly deteriorated by the softening,
masculating influences of the city un
1 the superior virility, staminn and
turdy qualities entirely -disappear In
wvo or three generations of city life.
lur city civilization Is always in a
rocess of decay and would In a few
enerations beome emasculated and
feminate were it not for the pure
rystal stream of country youth flow
ig steadily into and purifying the
iuddy, devitalized stream of city life.
would soon become so foul and de
enerate as to threaten the physical
nd moral health of the. dwellers.

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.
L. woman Is -sometimes fugitive, Ir
tional, Indeterminable, Illogical and
ntradictory. A good deal of for
arance ought to be ,shown herand a
od dseal of prudence exercised with
gard to her, fon she may bring
out innumerable evils without-know
E It. Capable of all kinds of devo

A Novel Revenge.
Jook-Yes; my mistress Is a prima

'What did your firm dimiss Grigg
?' asked the first traveler.
He gave away a trade secret," re
ed the other.
You don't say so?'
Yes. He told a customer that our
ef was an old scoundrel, and the

Greatness.
~reatness lies not In being strong,
in the right use of strength, and
ength Is not used rightly when it
es only to carry a man above his
