hands, wherever they turn up, will be called
upon to give an account Of themselves, and

from the east they are turned back under es-
cort. On such occasions all expense entailed
by their transport is to be betrayed by them
selves, and should they be insolvent their live
stock and chattels are to be sold at auction.
The gypsy of Austria and Bohemia is said to
be Of doubtful honesty, whereas the Hunga-
rian gypsy is hard working and inotfensive

Of the emperor Of Germany during his recent

Of all the fine buildings that lined the route
of the procession received orders from the
police to allow no one on the roofs Of tho
houses under their care and to stand them
selves by the street doors during the passing
Of the procession, with view to preventing
any one from entering the houses. They
were also forbidden to have any scaholding

cases very spacioas This latter measure is
explained in the official police order, as die

should be attended by fire or other accident,
but the fear Of bomb throwers was probably
the real reason. These precautions were

Ring Of Evil Omen.

A ring has risen into great prominence as
being the cause Of the misfortunes which
have lately afflicted the royal house Of Spain.
The late King Alphonso XII gave it to his
cousin Mercedes when lie was betrothed to
her, and she wore it during the whole of her
short married life. On her death the king
presented it to his grandmother, the Queen
Christina. She died very soon after, when
it passed to the kings sister, the Infanta del
Pillar, who at once began tosfcken and in a
few days also breathed her last. Alphonso
then gave it to his sister-in-law Christina,
the younger daughter Of the Duke Of Mont
pensier; in three months she died. Alphonso
then took charge of the ring himself, but he,
too soon fell a victim. By order of his
widow it has now been suspended by chain
round the neck Of the statue Of the Maid Of
Almudena, the patron saint Of Aladrid.-New

TERMS: slOO PER YEAR IN ADVANCE.

mas fires win have TO be bright and big for
comfort. The 9th and 25S Of December
viii be the darkest storm days Of the month.
On the bone all the indications Of wet; cold
and stormy weather meet about that time.
1t is a curious clustering Of bad signs, such
as is seldom seen on the bone, and mixture
Of weather may be loolsed for, with wet and
cold Eredominating, During this long spell
of bad weather some Of the dots on the bone
are very dark, which means very cold and
we need not look to see the mercury far away
from zero during the holiday week.
The new year will come in cold and clear,
with the first danger period commencing on
the 4th. There are three storm periods in
this month, the second commencing about
the l4th and the last one about the 23d Of the
month. The dots that appear on the bone up
TO the middle Of the month are heavy, from
about the 10th TO the 18th especially so, and
during this period very cold weather may be
looked for During December and January
the mercury viii frequently be below zero,
probably remaining there for days, and il
there should be a low stage Of water in the
river there will be danger of a freeze Over.
For February short storm periods run all
along the bone, and the general character Of
the month viii be stormy and clustering,
with some very cold days at the ilrst Of tho
month and again at the close. These severe
spells and continued cold weather will keep
the ice and the snow in the mountains, and
the first spring month will be as hoary as
old winter. As tho bone ends very dark, it
is very probable that March will be repe-
tition Of November In that case, the farm
ors will find it very difficult to break ground,
and all kinds of vegetation will be very late
in getting a start. It will not be safe to put
things in the ground too soon, as such win
ter viii be likely 10 be followed by killing
frosts far into April The writer remembers
to have seen only one other bone to compare
with the one this year, and that season there
were frosts as late as May. Every indica-
tion from the reading of the bone points 70
a backward spring and the gardeners who
have their richest harvest in early vegetation
will find their work risky and difficult

An Elaborate Study shows That There Is
Going 90 BE a Hard Winter. .

An Elaborate study shows That There Is
Going 90 BE a Hard Winter. .
The foreshadowing of the approaching
winter, as it Is read from the dots and the
lines on the goose bone, is not a cheerful
story. The promise given forth Of sleet,
snow and cold, is a gloomy picture for the
poor to look upon, and the many whose short
purse will not permit them to lay in a boun-
tiful supply of fuel will shiver at the thought
Of the kind Of weather that the little bone
foretells for the next four months. There
will be more cold and wet weather than the
people of this latitude have experienced for
many a winter, and the cold spells will be
longer and more severe than usual The bone
is dark at both ends, which indicates long
winter Winter weather we will have in
November, and the ice and snow will be IA
miiar sights far along into March.
The goose from whose bone this study was
taken was Matched in April, and killed after
the ides Of September The bone is wonder
fully marked, and the dotes and breves and
lines mingle all along the keel, thus indicat-
ing very changeable weather, but the breves
mostly turn down and are heavy, showing
that the general character Of the winter will
be falling, cold weather. As viii be seen by
the table given, the danger period is longer
for November than any other month, run
ming from the 10th to the end, with the most
severe weather falling between the goth and
Goth, and at any time within this period
clustering SHOWS and unseasonably cold
weather may be looked for.
The first danger period in December ex-
tends from the 1st to the 9TH, after which
there viii probably be a few days Of sun
shiny weather. The heaviest storm period
Of the month centers in tho Christmas holi-
days, beginning on the 18th and passing to
tho 27th At the opening Of the holidays we
will have very foul and probably some Of the
coolest weather OF the season, and these cold
lines run along tho bone until about the mid
die of January. Watch this period, but
above all prepare for IT. Il is more than
probable that the earth viii be covered with
snow when Christmas dawns aud that cold
north wind wiz be blowing, 50 that, Christ

Without love of truth, conversation becomes
mockery. Words are but frauds, instead of the
symbols of thought Unknown
There is tingling electric fire in the impassioned
human voice which effects us like nothing else.
The tongue may utter falsehoods, the voice can
not. 1t paints mental pictures throbbing with
life and love, such as the artists brush can never

When we are in the company of sensible men
we ought to be doubly cautious of talking too
much lest we lose two good things, their good
opinion and our own improvement; for what we
have to say we know, but what they have to say
we know not Cotton.
Speak little and well if you wish to be considered
as possessing merit From the French.
Beauty is never so lovely as when adorned with
the smile, and conversation never sits easier upon
us than when we now and then discharge our
selves in sympathy of laughter, which may not
be improperly called the chorus of conversation.

No More Birds on Bonnets.

Ladies are no longer to wear birds on their bon
nets and hats. Thus it has been decreed by fash
ion. The benevolent edict comes just in time to
save the last remaining members of the race of
humming birds and birds of Paradise. The great
forests of India, Brazil and the banks of the Miss
issippi have been ransacked, and have yielded up
their treasures of winged jewels to adorn the
feminine headgear. Now at last there is to be a
truce to the massacre, and the pretty denizens of
the woods may sing and fly awhile in peace To
estimate the extent of slaughter perpetrated for
the sake of womankinds adornment we may take
the statement of a London dealer, who admits
that last year he sold 100000 small birds of
every possible kind and color, from the soft grey
of the wood pigeon to the gem-ike spendor of the
tropical bird. Even the friendly robin has been
inundated to adorn the fashionable bonnet.
