Rev. Ira r. Bicks, who has assumed the
character of weather-prophet. predicted that
.'about the evening of the 22ud an unusually
cool wave will be announced for the central
parts Of the country which will spread later to
the Atlantic. ard abide in cooler. fresher at.
mosphere until dissipated by warmer days and
reactionary storms on the 25th and 26th."
This "unusually cool wave" did not come as
predicted, and Mr.. Hicks. like other protested
weathersprophets, can't predict the weather
any better than those who make no such pro-
LESSONS. No weather-prophet is entitled to
any credence. It Is guess work.

These little workers, now num-

paths their mothers trod. They
pay two cents a week into the
treasury, and have been in ex-
istence only about six months.
With the mite thus saved they
made some worthy Easter offer
ings. Eleven Of them, chaper-
oned by Mrs. VOORHEES, and Mrs.
Pew, went in a body to see the
venerable Judge Richard A.
who has been confined to his
room for some weeks, and pre-
senting their bright faces gave
him blooming heliotrope to
grow for his daily pleasure. To
Mrs. Henrietta Craig, confirmed
invalid, they took growing,
blooming hyacinth. To Mrs.
Winston, in honor of her giving
the first donation to their order,
they took a vase of pretty cut
flowers. Then to the Infrrnarv
they went with the gifts NEIL

Easter tide is here with it's many
beautiful instances of self-denlal,
noble acts for the Master who
gave His all, Himself, for us.
This, the high festival of the
spring time, was celebrated in
all its rapture Of praise and
thanksgiving. The church was
dressed in an exquisite and elab-
crate manner, the younger hands
giving willing help to older ones.
The music was of the joyous,
uplifting order, and the services
throughout were in glorious
honor of the anniversary.
Our House Beautiful is near
ing completion, Nine new
rooms will soon be ready for oc-
cupants. Two little boys are

ply Of old linen. Mrs. DR..

the little thing, born feeble, soon
went out Of a world which, per-
haps, promised but meager joys
for it's future earthly career.

by Mrs, Dudley. This is the
season for planting and garden

place in this city this season was that
given last night at the Opera House, by
the above gifted and talented family OF
musical artists. They are all artists
in the full acceptation of the term,
and more enjoyable musical and litera-

and the recitation. of THE Twins" by

most remarkable for one of his age. The
family throughout is most interesting
one, aside from their professional char
acter, and has attacted great attention
wherever they have gone. Prof. Nc

female educational institutions sof the
