ABOUT OUR LAWMAKERS.

There was some talk that the New York
Democrats had wearied of S. S. Cox but his
friends say airily that there is no doubt of his
denomination or reelection. On the contrary,
there are two sure districts which are anxious
to have him serve them.

wise: When / was boy out In Ohio the farm

IL the trees were full of fruit, and the berries
held to the tree until the feshy pods opened to
Let the nuts fall cut, then the coming Winter
would be mild and even in temperature-what
they called an open Winter
If the trees were scant of fruit and the pods
fell early, before the frosts came to ripen the
brown berries within them, and fall without
opening the pods, then look out for hard Win
ter ahead.
When my old friend told me this, remem-
bered how the farmers in my own time watch

tree would bRiId larger their stacks and pay
more attention to the northern and western

is very scant indeed, and besides, the grass be-

the unopened pods of immature buckeye nuts.

A Chinese Religious Sect.

Playing such an important part as they
DO in their country, and in the life of such
superstition ridden mortal as John
Chinaman, the duck itself has not escaped
superstition. There are In China quite a
numerous sect who religiously abstain
from eating duck and regard their duck
devouring neighbors as wanting in rever-
ence They are the followers and wor-
shippers of god named Hon Yuep -Shuee
whose mother was cured Of some dread
Inalady by a mysterious duck. which
brought her herbs in it's bill every day
until she recovered health Out of graft
tude for this the woman brought up her
son under strict injunctions never to eat
duck He became the patron of ducks.
and one day when pursued by robbers a
big flock of ducks appeared between him
and his pursuers and hid him from view.
At his death he was canonized. and be-
fore his shrine his followers nowadays
dedicate their children to his principles,
and train them up to regard ducks as sa-
cred birds.-Thomas Stevens Letter.
