IRE r. HICKS WEATHER PROPHET'
The following taken from the "storm
chart" for 1890 Of Rev. Irl r. Hicks OF
st. Louis will prove interesting to
many. Here are his predictions for
JUNE.
The first two or three days of June
will be cool and clear. On entering
the first storm period about the Sd II
will turn very warm and eliminate In
some hard storms about the 4th, 9th
and 9th. On or near the 10th and 1lth
there will be hard reactionary storms
with much rain, in all probability con-
timing into the storm period from the
18th to the 18th. This is the summer
solstice period and much continued
rain, with whole nights Of continuous
lightning and thunder, is very proba-
BILE. Do not be alarmed; If it occurs
It will be grander than dangerous.
Mercury on the 25th will prolong the
reactionary tendency from about the
2lst, so that q continued "wet spell'
may fill the gap to the last period, be-
ginning on the Goth and running up
to the 30th. Upon the whole we CAL
culate that June will be q very wet
month, with many active and some
dangerous storms.

The writings Of Charles Lamb are an
excellent Illustration of the value Of re-
serve in literature. Below his quiet. his
quaintness, his humor and what may

accidental character of his work, there

element. The gloom reflected at its
darkest in those hard shadows of "Rosa-

his readers, and restrained always in
utterancc IL gives to those lighter mat
ters on the surface OF life and literature
among which he for the most part
moved a wonderful force of expression,
as if at any moment these slight words
and fancies might pierce very far into
the deeper soul of things.
In his writing, as in his life, that qnict
is not the low flying of one from the first
drowsy by choice, and needing Che prick
of some strong passion on worldly ambi-
ton to stimulate him into an the energy
of which he is capable, but rather then
action Of nature after an escape from
fate, dark and insane as in old Greek
tragedy, following upon which the sense
of mere relief becomes a kind Of passion,
as with one who. having narrowly cs-
capped earthquake or shipwreck, finds a
thing for grateful tears in just sitting
quiet at home, under the wall, till the
end of days.-Walter Pater.

been struck by the rot. The dead vines
abound in the spores Of the disease and
it is possible for the tubers 10 be infected
by contact with the vines at the time Of
DIGGING. Therefore, il is an important
and inexpensive precaution to rake the
vines into heaps and burn them before
the potatoes are dug, at the same time
destroying millions Of germs Of the rot
some Of which might otherwise do injury

The same conditions favor the rot
after as before digging, and therefore
the dug tubers should be left 10 dry
thoroughly; then the sound ones may be
stored where they can be kept dry, cool
and with a good circulation of fresh air.

A drove Of Texas cattle were being
driven across the railroad tracks near
the Martell house. One OF the drove, a
large steer, became separated from the
others and ran down the tracks into the
Vandalia yards. Being close pressed by
William Little, the driver, the steer
mounted the outside stairs of q two story
tenement house situated close to the
round house, and entered the kitchen
and took possession. Mrs. A. o. Hem
messy, with her baby in her arms, had just
time to escape by a back stairway and
save the life of herself and child. The
Infatuated steer upset the kitchen table,
smashed the dishes, broke the chairs and
other furniture, and overturned the
stove. The driver mounted the stairs
and, after some difficulty, managed to
get a ring in the animals nose, but it
broke and was useless. The animal, af-
ter having completely wrecked the room,
leisurely descended the stairs and was
captured. Louis Republic.

Consulting the stars.

1t is strange that many persons yet
confound astronomy with astrology, q
result OF the undue Importance which
personal and private interests have over
scientific principles in the thoughts Of
many persons. Not many weeks ago we
received letter from a subscriber who
wished to be informed where he could
find a text book OF astrology.
It is said that the astronomer royal,
who has charge of Greenwich obserya-
tory, frequently receives letters asking
what his terms are for drawing a horo-
scopel The writers of these letters often
promise to make known, if necessary,
the true day and hour Of their birth.
Such incidents call to mind q story told
Of Herschel, the astronomer.
During a very rainy season a farmer
in his neighborhood came to ask his
opinion, or rather the opinion Of the
stars, as to the day that would best suit
for making his hay without any fear Of
losing it by showers.
The great astronomer led the man to
a window and pointed with his finger to
meadow where the grass had been
moved and was rotting in the wet.
"You see that field, % said he. "Well,
it is mine. Isn't that enough to show
you that as regards rain and fine weather

If the farm IS run down and the owner

seed is sown, and in March liberal sup
ply of clover, which by August is in the

least doubt that sown broadcast on wheat
it would be equally effective. Wheat

The import Of coal frow the United
States to the port Of Havana during 1888
Is stated to have amounted to %, 81 tons
as against 53.2jj tons in 1857, and that
from Great Britain to 5O,3lS Us against
74.sl3 tons. Thus the American import
exceeded the average Of the last ten
years. which is calculated 40 about 66,
600 tons, while the import from Great
Britain fell far short Of its average Of

The Rnckuheat Crop.

Buckwheat, often called "the lazy
mans crop" deserves better treatment
than it generally gets. 1t is a "catch
CROP" easily grown between regular sue
cession crops, and will respond TO more
generous usage than is frequently ac-
corded it. The grain itself is nutritive
and palatable, giving both heat and mus
Gle making constituents, and brings, as
a. rule, fairly remunerative prices, COM
pared with other cereals. Manure with
a liberal hand, or fertilize with say 300
pounds Of a good superphosphate, and

with one grown on the thin, poor land to
which it is generally allotted. Sow from

THE POTATO ROT.
That Much Vexed Question, when Shall
the Tubers BE Harvested"


the Tubers BE Harvester"
To dig or not to dig the tubers Of an
infested field is ia question that has never
been satisfactorily answered. Some as
sert that the tubers ought 20 be dug as
soon as practicable after the rot has at
tackled the vines. Others claim that it
IS better TO wait until the diseased vines
are quite dead before harvesting the
crop. Professor Scribner, Of the agri-
cultural department at Washington,
SAYS: If the digging be delayed for a
week or two after the tops have been
thoroughly dead and performed when
the weather Is sunny and dry, there is
little possibility Of infection at this pc
Rod"
Professor Byron d. Halsted, botanisi
Of the New Jersey experiment station,
in a recent bulletin says;
ut is evident that after the vines have
been killed there can be no further
growth of the tubers, and as the disease
first attack the leaves and tips Of the
vines and works downward towards,
and finally into, the tubers, i follows
that there there can be no loss in yield,
and great possible gain in healthful-
ness by early digging. AS a rule, the
potatoes should be removed from the soil
u soon as possible after tue vines have
