Proverbs and Traditional Weather Lore
of This Charming Month.

of This Charming Month.
The quaint embodiments Of superstition
and experience to be found in the mass Of
traditional weather lore ascribe c.nSid-
cradle portion of influence to the month OF
May. If the ancient prognosticators, whose
descendants no amount Of ridicule has
served to eXtinguish, were right in sheil
judgments, the month il treacherous and
fatal when it is brightest and most beauti-
full, and is only acceptable and full of good
fruits when it appears cold and inhospita
bic. The old English proverb, Never cast
a clout till May be out, is u doctrine eX
pressed in many varied forms by the wise
people Of each passing generation. For
once the prOverb maker has accuracy on
his side She who casts a clout" and dOns
lighter rament in honor of the return OF
the sun, will have occasion to shiver in the
GOODNESS of the evening. Yet never will
calm persuasion have its due effect while
the sun shines so brightly on Il May morn
ing The result is bluntly and grimly ex-
pressed in the proverb, "A hot May makes
fat churchyard." Let us he warned and
be wise in time Charm the May sun never
so wisely, blow the zephyrs never so softly.
cast not the clout till the month be out
and it's treacherous smiles give place to the
more genuine joys of June.
To he acceptable to the agriculturist-if

and windy makes a full barn and findy,'
says the old proverb; and us ''fndy" means
plump, fat and well favored, the desira
biity of a cold May from the standpoint
of future profit is indisputable. The Ital-
ian proverb says, "A cold May brings bread
and corn" and the Basque sayings include
the emphatic announcement, Cold May.

sheep i'm May you'll sheer them away" "A

Bears Begin the Attack Upon Prices at the Opentn&-The Passage of the Anli-Option Bill in the House Causes Another Drive at the Coal StOcks-New England Displays Lit- tie Strength.
 NEW YORK, June 6.
 The bears were aggressive in the stock market this forenoon, owing largely to the absence of London orders, and the new steps taken by stock holders in the Lehigh Valley to annul the lease to Reading again brought the coal stocks under the hammer. Burlington was attacked sharply at the same time but almost @ full recovery oc- cured when the pressure was lifted. The sub- sequent dealings until well into the afternoon re- maned devoid of feature other than extreme dullness and prices nearly stagnated. When the news came that the antioption bill had pass ed the house at Washington another drive was made at the coal shares, forcing them down still farther. The whole list sympathzed in the weakness of the leaders and notwithstanding the strength displayed in New England and a few specialties the quotations yielded all along the line. With the exceptions noted however, the losses were confined to small fractions, though the market closed weak with most active stocks at close to the lowest of the day. New England actually showed an advance of per cent, but Delaware and Hudson was down 315 Lackawan- na 25s Jersey Central 211 and Reading 1ss.

STRUCK OUT ELEVEN MEN

And only One Hit Made Of Bowers -The Strong University of Penn. sylvania Team Defeated by . Score of to 1-Bayne Worked the ssDln- key-Dtnk,'' Hut t--.
 The strong University of Pennsylvania nine, which shut out Princeton by a score of 6 to 0 early in the season, ran against Bowers curves yesterday and accidentally made one hit. That hit, though, brought in @ run, the only one that the visitors had any earthly chance of making. It came about in this way: It was the last of the ninth. Bowers had already struck out ten men-every man except Bayne-and noth- ing that looked like hit had been made off him. Thomas hit hard one to Beall, but the plucky little fellow got under it.. With two men out Bayne came to the bat and made three-bagger, bringing Mackey in. Lansing was fielded out at first and the game was ended.
 | Bayne has two balls that he works on unsuspecting batsmen, the dinkey-dink and the seven mile ball. The dinkey- -dink is a tremendous down shoot; the seven mile ball is one that looks as if it was go- ing SO fast that the batter imagines he can hear the wind whistle as it cuts the air, but which in reality is as slow as the gray haired man with the scythe on the cover of an almanac. He tried the dipky. dink and the seven-mile ball both, but it was of no use-Yale got seven hits and | five runs.
 1 Bowers pitching deserves more praise than there is space to give it. If any one is in search would not lose much time by coming to New h Haven: en- He % throws the ball over the corner % oi thrown, and heavy hitters such as the liar IT yard team, are unable to place the hits.
