JOGGING HIS MEMORY.

\ Clergyman in Iowa relates the fol-
lowing anecdote, which, rs he says ought
to be IA hint To all couples who are going to
be married.-A lady called upon him and
announced her name as Mrs. NJ, a
widow living in distant part of the
State. Her husband had been killed in the
civil war, and she had applied for pen
sion. But it was necessary for her to
prove her marriage This she had not
been able to do, As her marriage certln
cate was lost, ami all the witnesses ex-
| cept the minister himself were dead.
She had come long distance to get
hat he vas the PERSON who had per
Drmrd the crremouy.
| But | do not remember anything
lbout it, madam" S. id the minister, alter
listening carefully to the woman's story
Il have married hundreds of people IN
the last twenty years. and l cannot re-
call your case at all"
"Why, you must remember that even

husband was a tall man with black whis-
kers."
Il have married great many tall men
with black whiskers."
But don't you remember, We came il
while you were at supper, and you ask
ed us to walk in the parlor a few min
utes?"
Il don't remember it,"
"Don't you recall how my HUSBAND
was very much embarrassed, and during
the ceremony knocked a vase off TIN
table near which we were standing;
And then he apologized in the middle o
the service, and we ali laughed about i
afterwsrd."
Il dent remember even that Othe
things like it have happened since. Can
you name something else?''
Other little things were mentioned, AM
the clergyman hunted up all his old let
tiers and journals i'll hopes Of discoverin!
something that would recall the cere
mony and enable him truJhiully to iden

Finally the lady, with some hesitation
and confusion. said: There is on
thing that l am sure you ca Lot have for
gotten. My husband had driven owe
from the next town. In his absent-mind
edness he had LETT every cent of none
at home.
"Now, don't you remember that ate
the ceremony he came up to you as if t

"Ah, yes, indeed, l remember tina

No Interest in the Weather.

With this issue of the Kicker we cease
the weather forecasts which we have
been publishing, as forecasted from our
own observatory, for the last six weeks
While we have had wonderful luck in
hitting the weather for three or foul
days, a head, our local subscribers have
mad no interest in it and have discourag
ed the enterprise. This arises from the
fact that no one here cares a cast iron
cent what the weather is. If fair, they
70 out and shoot jaokass rabbits and
run horses; if foul, they gather in the
bar-rooms and play seven up. The least
that concerns them is what the weather
is going to be on the morrow, and we
don't propose to educate them up to feel
anxious about it.-Arizond Kicker.

1t is undeniable that animals have q
sort of prescience Of coming weather
Nature has evidently provided them
with special nerves that are affected by
changes in the weight and moisture of
the atmosphere, to which all storms are
due. Those little creatures tho bees,
are peculiarly accurate weather har-
bingers, but how far ahead the bee NAV
be able to look is an open question. A
keen observer, by looking at them in
the early morning, during the working
season, will soon be able to form an
opinion as to what the day will be, and
that almost to certainty, for they will
sometimes appear sluggish and inactive,
although the morning is very bright
and showing every appearance Of clear
day, but the sun soon becomes clouded,
and rain follows. AMI, again, the morn
ing may be dull and cloudy, and some
times rain may be falling; still tho bees
may be observed going out in consider
able numbers, and as sure as this is
seen the day becomes bright and fair

One popularity Of pearls is that, I'M

changes color, seems to be attacked
with deadly disease, and crumbles
into dust. Such is reputed to have been
the fate OF the most magnificent speci-

cluded room of his magnificent mansion,
apart from all other of his treasures.
1t was the wonder and admi-
ration of favored friends who were per-
mitted to look at it. The merchant
finally became involved in a political
conspiracy and fed to Paris, taking his
one great treasure with him.
He kept it hidden for a time, but at
last consented TO show it to some dis
tinguished lovers of precious stones.
But when he opened the caslfet he fell
back in dismay and staggered as though
stricken with death. The gem Ind be-
