A BITTER WINTER.
All the Portents OF Nature Indicate Pro
longed Cold.


All the Portents of Nature Indicate Pro-
longed Cold.
From the news columns of our rural
contemporaries says the New York Mail
and Express, we have gathered certain
signs and portents which presage the
coming of cruel and bitter winter.
The homespun weather prophet, comb
ing the hayseed from his beard and
eyebrows, has examined the prognosti-
cations OF Dame Nature, and, studying
the hints Of Mother Earth, has arrived
at the conclusion that now is the time
to lay in coal, for already the bushy
whiskers of winter are heavily frosted
and the breath of the north wind gives
promise of weary months Of chill and
snow.
The animal kingdom is already ar
rayed against the coming cold.
Throughout New England the squir-
rels have an unusually heavy cover of
fur, and the coats of the cattle and
horses are thick and rough. The fox
pelts are unusually fine and the mink
and weasel have donned extra heavy
winter ulsters. In the Adirondacks
the deer have been forewarned and are
unusually well wrapped up in the COW
erings which an all-wise Providence
has provided
Around the farm also signs are not
wanting. The corn husks are much
thicker than usual, and instead of be-
ing light lemon hue are of deep or
ange tint, a well-established sign of
the approach of cold winter. The
goose bone tells the same story, for the
spots are larger and whittier than usual,
and the hogs melt runs jagged in
stead of smooth. Nor is this all. The
partridge and woodcock are haunting
the farms and the grain fields, and the
wild ducks are flying in U-shaped in
stead of V-shaped focks toward the
south. The squirrels and chipmunks
are unusually busy laying up extra
supplies of winter fodder, and the
ground hogs have almost disappeared.
Already the green frogs are changing
their skins and seeking the bottom of
wells and springs for their winter
quarters, and the snakes have sought
their nests under the roots of the
trees.
OF course many of these signs may
be unreliable. Chipmunks are apt to
be aggressively busy at this season,
and frogs and snakes are not always
to be depended on. But the goose
drone can generally be accepted as a
truthful index to the weather, and the
hogs melt" is looked upon in rural
communities as not to be gainsaid.
Our advice, then, is to get out your
winter clothes and to fill the coal bins.
Polish up the rnnners of the sleigh and
heap up the woodpile. Fix the saw
buck and file the saw. See that the
stove pipes are clear of SCOT. Then put
your trust in Providence and your
money in the savings bank, and pre-
pare to enjoy the hundred and one de-
lights of q sti Fl, cold winter.

BIG GUNS NO GOOD.
Chairman Cummius Declares That Ten.
Inch One is Large Enough.

Chairman Cummius Declares That a Ten.
Inch One is Large Enough.
WASHINGTON, March 24.--Chairman
Cummins of the house committee on
naval affairs, is not believer in huge
guns for naval purposes such as were
recently tested at Iaaaian Head. Tss
I'm my Judgment" said he, "a ten
inch gun is the largest we should make,
as it conf bines the greatest efficiency
with the least disadvantage. At An
nopolis / saw one of the thirteen-inch
guns, similar to the one tested at
Indian Head, mounted on an Italian
war ship 1t was on raised turret,
with delicate machinery for swing
ing the gun on an eccentric.
But the delicacy of the machin-
cry was better suited to a
watch than to n heavy gun.
A six-pound shot dropped into it would
have destroyed this delicate mechan-
ism and crippled the gun. These dis
advantages of mounting and handling
huge guns quite outweigh any advan-
tages they have in effectiveness. 1t
was established at the Indian Head
trials that tsn-inch gun is sufficiently
effective to demolish any arnor plate
made. That being so. there is no need
of getting any more effectiveness. All
beyond. the ten-inch gun is waste"

GIRLS HAVE A NEW FAD.
They Look for Young Men with Rings o
Their Fingers.

They Look for Young Mon with Rings on
Their Fingers.
Young men have been wondering
what it all could mean. For the last
few weeks whenever young man met
young lady of his acquaintance she
would closely examine his fingers, and,
finding ring there, would turn it
around two or three times and be sat-
isfied.
When asked for an explanation the
young lady would of course evade the
subject and laugh most sweetly at
what she would innocently call joke.
But the secret is out and it has come
to the ears of the young men. Now
the fun will be all on the other side.
1t is a new craze, this turning Of
rings on the fingers of young men by
their lady friends. Where it came
from no one knows; why the girls
have all taken it up they of course will
just too lovely, that's all.
There is q firm down town which
employs large number of young
men and women, and much time is
wasted there during the day by the
practice of this craze. Recently one of
the employers discovered what it all
meant, and now there is sign posted
conspicuously in the room which reads:
"Any employe caught practicing the
ring turning business will be immedi-
ately discharged" 1 asked a member
of the firm what it was all about, says
a writer in the New York Herald.
"Why, it's the craziest thing you
ever heard Of" he said. "The idea is
this: If young lady meets a young
man with ring on his finger she is to
turn the ring two or three times.
Then with another man the, same
| thing, and so on, until she has turned
| rings to the extent of about twenty
| four times. Then the next thing to dc
is to look for a married person, male OF
| female, wearing a marriage ring. This
ring she is to turn twice, and the next
man she shakes hands with will be hel
husband.
"Crazy, isn't it?" said the dignifieG
employer with a laugh. But tha'
sign there has put stop to it in thii
place. The time we have lost through
| it would amount to days"
asked one of the young ladies if al
this was true. After some hesitation
she admitted, with many bushes. tina
1t was.
"Of course you girls only do it for I
joke?" said /.
20, no." replied she, very seriously
1--WE all believe in it. Why, know o
young lady myself who married tn
very man she shook hands with afte
turning the marriage ring. 1t come
true every time"
"How about yourself?"
"Well, I'm waiting patiently for tn
young man whom shook hands witt
to ask me-" And she bounded ava.
with laugh to join her friends.

Congressman His Views on the Matter.
WASHINGTON, March "a. Secretary
Carlisle has addressed to Senator Ran
som, of North Carolina, and to Repre-
sentative Wise, of Virginia, who are
the champions of the bill ito promote
the efficiency of the revenue cutter SER
vice." an expression of his views on the
su bject.
He says the necessities of the service
are constantly increasing, while its
effective force is constantly decreasing,
and, unless some remedy is provided
by congress, the time can not be very
far distant when the secretary of the
treasury will be compelled to seriously
consider the propriety of discharging a
number of superannuated and infirm
officers from so to "a years of age in
order to fill their places with others
who are competent to discharge the
duties of the positions which they now
hold.
Two of the officers now on the wait
ing orders list have been connected
with the service more than sixty years,
and several of them have served more
than thirty years. They were appoint
ed for life, and are now receiving the
same pay from the government that
they would receive if the proposed bill
should become law. AS a result we
have retired list. or waiting orders"
list, but without authority of law, to
fill the places of the officers who COM
pose it.
No such conditions exists, OF can ex-
ist in any other branch of the public
service, and in the opinion of the secre-
tary the proposed bill, or some meas
ure of similar character, should be
prepared by congress in order to place
this very useful part of the customs
force upon an efficient basis
