WEATHER PREDICTIONS.
BY PROF. C. C. BLAKE, TOPEKA.
TEMPERATURE FOR lilly

) TEMPERATURE FOR JULY,
The first part of July will have
tiuctuating temperature in nearly
all parts of the county, including
Canada, but it will not average as
warm as usual for the season till
toward the middle of the month,
when it will grow warmer till at
or about the end of the month.
The last half or two-th1rds of the
month will be hotter than usual in
southern Canada ard nearly
every section of the United States,
except Dakota, where it will not
be quite SO hot. Along the sea
coasts the high temperature will
also be modified at times by sea
breeZes.
On the Pacific coast it will
average warmer than usual; the
hottest part Of the month there
will be toward the middle of the
month.
In England and Europe the
month will average warmer than
usual, except that during the first
part OF the month it will not be so
warm in Germany and eastern
Europe.
PRECIPATIoN FOR JULY.
The total amount of rainfall for
the month in the United States
will be a little less than normal,
with a little excess in Canada;
but it will be SO we'll distributed
among the States during the
month that few places will suffer
much from drouth, except in small |
localities.
Southern Canada will have |
plenty of rain during the month,
except that Ontario will be de-
ticient during the last half. Most
of New England and New York
will not have as much as needed
during the first half of the month,
but a fair amount during the last
part. New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania will average about normal,
while Delaware, and Maryland
Virginia and West Virginia will
have some excess. North and
South Carolina will average about,
normal. Georgia, Alsbama and
Mississippi will average bout
normal, with a little excess in
Florida. Louisiana will be a little
deficient, with an excess in Texas,
especially in eastern Texas. Ar
KANSAS will have more rain than
kentucky and Tennessee. In
)hlo, Michigan, Iowa and Mis-
ouri it will be about normal, with .
ather less in Indiana and north :
rn Illinois and more in southern ,
llnois. Wisconsin, Minnesota :
nd northern Dakota will have an =
especially during the first !
lalf of the month in two former ,
states and during the whole !
Month in northern Dakota; but =
he south half of Dakota will be !
Efficient during the first of the q
1onth, with an excess later. E
In Kansas, Nebraska and Col r
RADIO the rsin will be rather I
treaked in Jnly, and while the L
otal amount will be rather less is
ian the average for July, yet s
lken in connection with the rains L
lat will occur in said States dur
lg June, we think there will be
1ough to keep the crops growing
lcely in nearly all places. Some
w small localities may be missed
Y the rain, but we think there
i'll be very few spots during e.
Inc and July that will have no 81
in for thirty days at time. al

Missouri has made a splen-
did showing at Chicago this week.
The cattle market has been
buoyant for several days. but is
rapidly declining again.
The Chicago Convention
met to nominate the strongest
man, and they will nominate him.
In the matter of furnishing
the convention news, the Globe
Democrat, as usual, leads all other
papers in the country.
The English free traders
recognize that the Democratic
platform means free trade and are
delighted over its Cobdenism.
The Democracy of Missou-
ri is badly divided, and it is hard
ly probable that the factions can
be united before November.
The people who desire
plain outspoken utterance on the
tariff question will find it in the
Republican platform which we
will publish next week.
The severe exposures to
which the Democratic party will
be subjected in the coming cam
paign will produce an influenza
that will call for a vigorous use
of the red bandanna."
-"This is a Morehouse cigar,
but a Francis man is smoking it,"
said a young Democrat on the
street Wednesday evening, as he
vigorously pulled away at one of
Joe Christ's best Havannas.
Since st. John has done
such good work for the Republi- |
can party in Oregon, the cam
palgn managers should show an |
appreciation for his services by
giving him employment in Mis-
souri,.
"A Quincy firm received an
order last week from an Albany
IN. Y.) firm for 2700 stoves. This
is big advertisement for Quincy
and shows that the West has al
ready begun lively competition
with the East in manufacturing.
-Watterson, the chairman of
the committee of ten that drafted
the Democratic platform at st.
Louis says that, the
platform means free trade" But
the democratic orators will yell
themselves hoarse in trying to
convince the people that it m cans !

Train Telegraphy.

The practical value of the new
system of telegraphy by which mes
sages can be sent from moving
trains, was we'll illustrated by its
workings on the Lehigh Valley rail
road during the recent great snow
storm. In the accident near Three
Bridges the induction train tele-
graph operator was on board end
at once telegraphed back to Flem-
ington for wrecking train. Within
short time Supt. Donnelly arrived
and during the entire day messages
were sent to and from the train and
surgical relief was obtained. All the
beleaguered passenger trains, every
one of which was equipped with the
new system, were located by means
of train telegraphy and provisions
were sent to the hungry passengers.
Belated passengers sent dispatches
to anxious wives from the various
stalled trains, and all the manifold
business OF railroading was carried
on with celebrity. More than 200
messages were sent back and forth
over the single line of the company
during the three days of delay.
The poles used to carry the line
are sixteen feet high and they ex-
pose little surface to the storm. The
messages are transmitted by Undue
ton from the metal roof of the car
to the line, a distance of ten feet,
and even when cars and line were
both buried in the drifts no moon
venience was suffered, as the dry
snow acted as good insulator.-

There is no question but the tide
is at its food at the south. The idle
wilderness so.rich In everything OF
material resources is now awakened
as one man to it's full prosecution.
With everything the overfull north
has, and the needs Of a new world
for enterprise and expansion there
is TO be such a development to the
south during the next twenty five
years as the world never before
heard of.
The rush and scramble and over
whelming of industrial waters may
not come this year, but what Cali
fornia saw = little Of in 1849 is to
be mighty torrent all down amid
the valleys aud the plains of the
south of the Potomac and Ohio.
1t is nearer than the southwest
and New York and Boston and
Philadelphia now see how it has
been neglected and they will stand
nol:upon the order of going but pos
sess at once.
The southern country will have
multiplied thousand fold in
wealth in twenty-five years, and
the grandest railway systems, iron
and and steel plants, engineering
feats, and model mills and farms
will be in these same states.

How to Be q Christian.

My unconverted friend, would
you like to be christian2
Then begin this moment, right
where you are. Tell the Lord you
want to be one and are ready to be-
gin doing His will; ask him to show
you the way in which you should
20 and to do right. And he will.
Do the first thing that comes to
hand that you think that Jesus
would like to have you do, and as
you go about your daily employ
ments try to act as if you saw Him
and wished to please Him. Do all
you would do il you knew you were
christian, without any reference to
what you feel or what you don't
feel. But from the outset begin
talking to the Lord as your friend,
telling Him what you want; con-
fess what you have done amiss that
you know of, ask him to help you
to do right and to deliver you from
temptation. When you are tempt
ed to do wrong, cry inward'y,
"Lord help me-" for you will find
you need His help and that you
cannot walk in this way alone. And
you will find that you are not alone,
but that there is One invisible ever
at your side, ready to be your friend
and counselor. Go to Him with
your griefs, yoar perplexities and
your anxieties. Never think any
thing too small to carry to Him. In
short be child, but not naughty,
disobedient child. Do as He bids
you, expecting His help to do it and
you will not be disappointed. One
OF His commands is to confess him
before men. Do not neglect your
more open and public duties, and
the Lord will bless you In their OBJ
servance.
This is the way to Christ and
heaven. 1t took me long years of
iruitless seeking to find this simple
way, because / was not shown it,
but was misdirected. / found it the
way of peace, and only in wander
ing from it have lost my way, and,
in losing that, lost my peace. And
when I have returned to it and
sought again to please the Lord, by
learning and doing His will, and
given up my naughtiness, He has
always kindly and lovingly taken
me back and blessed me and in His
service / have found my highest
pleasure.-E. A. S.

The agitation of the question OF
the purity of lard, originated with
some of the lard refiners in a spirit
of opposition to cotton oil, seems to
be leading to the following conclu-
sions:
That there Is nothing whatever
in cotton oil to make it objections
BILE as food product, either mixed
with lard or otherwise.
That it is pure vegetable oil,
and that the processes of its man
ufacture are such as to insure abso-
lutte cleanliness.
That, if properly refined it may
be made to serve. any purpose for
which olive oil will serve.
That while we do not believe all
the charges made against the lard
refiners, it is demonstrated that the
ma terial from which much lard is
made may be unclean Or diseased,
excepting only the cotton seed oil
put into it.
mat the promoters OF the agita-
ton would be well pleased to draw
out of the fight and admit that cot
ton-seed oil is the very best iugre-
dent with which the bulk of lard
may be increased.
That there is fortune in store
for some smart wholesale grocer
who will buy properly refined cot
ton seed oil and put it in packages
for the retail market and label it
''pure cotton-seed oil-guaranteed
unadulterated by kany animal
grease,"-Ex,

In speaking upon the subject of
profit in farming at the Madison
county farmers institute, Waldo F.
Brown OF Oxford, o., said that far
mers often complain that business
men in the towns and cities make
more money than farmers do. But
in this comparison the farmer
makes the mistake of contrasting
his condition with that of capital
lists. With the same amount of
capital to start with the man In
town would ind q much harder
time in making living than the
farmer. Farming is a safe invest
ment if not lucrative. It is gener-
ally considered the safest of all
kinds of business; and it is not now
the drudgery it once was. Mechan-
les and merchants are slaves to
their work. Their income stops
when they are away. 1t is not so
with the farmer. Every farmer
should keep an account of his re-
ceipts and expenditures, and should
take into account the amount of
produce used by his family. This
is imnortant information.

Children coming from school are
sometimes to- hungry to wait until
supper time, 30 that if the cut
pieces of bread or pie are left on q
plate easy of access, they will find
a very appreciative crowd when
school is out. l think they need
to eat oftener than grown people,
especially if hearty and growing
rapidly. "A piece of pie, when one
is hungry is better than the pie
eaten after full meal.

Medicine and Money.
The physician who values his
time and advice is the man who lie
appreciated.

The physician who values his
time and advice is the man who is
appreciated.
He who sells himself for nothing
generally gets all he is worth.
He who goes for half price, when
patients are able to pay reasona-
Bile fee, goes for more than he would
bring on the market.
A community never values ply
stefan higher than be values him
self.
He who works for love may gain
the reputation of a good samaritan,
but good samaritans are not ali
good doctors.
No greater mistake was eve,
made than to impress the oommu
nity that doctors are poor business
men. Straight forwardness, prompt
ness, reliability and firmness are
elements by which mans qualif-
cations are determi ed.
Put off the presentation of your
bill for a year and the patient will
conclude that your services were
worth but little and that you knew
it,
Never try to gain a practice in 8
community by charges below the
usual and reasonable fee. IT yot
do you will move to another quar-
ter and wonder why you were no
appreciated.
A physicians bill is debt o
honor. Bankruptcy cannot affec
the obligation. The grocer and dr.,
| goods merchant may be put off
little, but the physician is NOR
than tea and sugar, coffee and cali
co. He attends at all seasons ant
ell hours; he adds his sympathie
and interests; he bears part o
the anxieties in the trying mo-
ments, and advises at all times i
pain and peril.
| The real business man charge
for his services and collects his bills
To such patient will say: "Her'
doctor, is your claim. thank 20
for your kindness and attention
When our folks get sick, you al
