Worried to Death.

The coroner at Chicago has ordered that
the corpse OF Miss Anna B. Peterson who
died suddenly some lineage and was buried
next day, be disinterred and examined.
Miss Peterson was tall, handsome blonde,
and one OF the most accomplished eques-
triennes in Chicago. She was also an heir
ess, and friends OF hers say they fear
that she was murdered or worried
into suicide. They claim that she has
been kept secluded from all company for
the past six months, and that there are
evidences of a plot to force her into dis
tasteful marriage. A young tradesman
named Henry Sawdrum is said to have
been her favorite sutton, but it is asserted
that he was not permitted to see her, and
that a wedding had been planned
for her with her stepuncle, Sorin
Mathison. a druggist, for whom
she had frequently expressed
adherence. The girls relatives pro-
nounce the reports untrue, and say she
died OF heart-disease. Mathison is evasive
about the matter. It is understood his
suit was favored by Miss Peterson's moth
er for the purpose OF keeping the property
in the family. Just how much the dead
girls estate, or expectations in Denmark,
where she was born, amount to, has not
been ascertained.

A Red Rival Of Wiggins.

1t has always been said that Indians
were the most reliable weather prophets
that could be obtained. At any rate, it has
always been the firm belief of ours that an
Indian always knew more about such
things than ordinary white mo,tals. AS a
great many people are interested in know
ing what the coming winter is to be, we
thought it would be feat of newspaper
enterprise to interview an Indian on this
proposition. So when Old Bodie came
around this morning to secure two-bt
payment in advance on some wood he pro-
posed to saw for us, we asked him: "Bodie.
what kind of winter are we going to haye?"
Ny folk he ketchum heap pine nut"

TRUTH OF WEATHER-lORE.
The Reverence for Tradition Entertained
by the Average Mortal.

The persistent survival of weather.
lore in these days of intellectual eman-
cipation is not at all remarkable when
we consider the extent to which the
vulgar sayings embody real. truths. A
few years ago Messrs. Abercromby and
Marriott embarked on an extremely
Interesting inquiry with a view to de-
termine, by actual comparison, how far
the popular proverbs express relations,
or sequences, which the results of me-
neurological science show to be real.
The investigation proved tina, some-
thing like a hundred of the mon popu-
lar savings are, under ordinary con-
d%ltlons, trustworthy. Such being the
case, we need not be surprised that
simple country folk prefer familiar
couplcts to all the "isobars," ..cy-
clones and ''synchronous charts" in
the world. If ''hills clear. rain near"
means the same as 'the presen9 of q
wedge-shaped area Of high pressure,
accompanied by great atmospheric
visibility, is likely to be followed by
the advance of n disturbance with
rain and southcrly Winds" which
for all practical purposes it does,
the preference is justified on the mere
ground of breath economy. The thir-
ty-one words demanded by science
stand no chance against -four.
But it is unfortunate that, along
with the limited number of folt-say.
ings founded on truth, there has sur
vived a very large number founded on
the grossest error. These latter have
borrowed credencc and respect from
the proved c%redibility of the others,
and apparently they are all destined
to sink or swim together. Hammer as
we will at certain favorite proverbs
which we know to be based upon error, |
1t is all in vain. The reverence for
tradition |. too much for us. And of
