THURSDAY. MAY 9, 1895.

Rev. Irl Il. Hicks forecasts for May
in Word and Works state that May
opens at the beginning OF storm per-
iod. About the 3rd, violent atmos-
pheric and electrical perturbations
may be expected. Wind, with RAIN
hail and thunder will visit many Sec
tions. Change to cooler with possible
frosts in the north, will follow with the
high barometer and westerly winds
that set in behind the storm areas;
about the 9th and 10th it will grow
warmer and active storms will trans
pire not far from the time OF the full
moon. Between the 10th and the 18th
another sharp change to cooler will be
the order and for two or three nights
light frosts are probable A storm
period sets in about the 18th. These
storms will be severe and enormous
cloud bursts and water spouts will be
reported causing many local floods.
About the Goth and 21st, a reactionary
low barometer, with smart rise in tenn
perature, ending in storms will pass
eastward over the country. Rain, hail,
wind and thunder, followed by brief
changes to cooler, will be the order.
Many heavy disturbances are likely to
transpire from about the oath to the
18th with chances good for continue
tion of rains and storms until the close
of the month.

A horse tells how to treat a man in
the following language: when a
man drops from sheer exhaustion or
illness, promptly seize an endboard or
cart stake and pound him on the head
and on the ribs. If this does not recup-
crate him, kick him violently in the
belly. This treatment will restore him
If persistently administered. If a man
finds his load too heavy and feels that
it will strain him, kick off fence
board and knock him down-and ham,
mer him thoroughly with the board.
This will give renewed energy and he
will make no more fuss. But do not
on any account reduce the load; that
would look too much like common
sense. If man refuses to drink when
you offer him water, don't give him
any for two days. That will teach
him" to be thirsty at any time you find
it convenient to tend to him. 1t is a
good plan to ply the whip frequently
on a man who is at work. No matter
if he is doing his level best, hit him
now and then on general principles. "
If no whip is handy use club.

On the occasion of the recent visit OF
the famous Sousa band to Detroit, one
OF the most attractive numbers making
up the program was the Detroit Jour-
nal march. 1t was composed for the
Journal by VIM. G. G. Wright and ar
ranged for the band by Willard Bryant.
Mr.. Sousa's appreciation of the march
was later shown when he played it as
an encore few days later at Toledo
and other cities. The reception given
the march is but in keeping with the
reception that is being given the Jour-
nal of late throughout the entire state.
The Journal is reorganized as clean,
reliable home newspaper, and is forg-
ing to the front at rapid rate. 1t
deserves, too, all the success with which
it is meeting.

What Is bloomer dress? A lady
gives the following explanation: 1.-THE
bloomer dress is a pair of trousers very
baggy at the knees, abnormally full
about the pistol pockets, and consider
ably loose where you strike match
The garment is cut decolette at the
south end, and the bottoms tied around
the ankles or knees to keep the mice
out. You can't put it over your head
as you do corsets, but you sit on the
floor and pull it on just as you do your
stockings-one foot in each compart-
ment. You can easily tell which is the
right side to have in front by the but
tons on the neck-band."

There is a mistaken idea that 'cul-
ture" means to paint little, to sing
little, to dance little, and to quote
passages from late popular books. AS
a matter of fact, culture means moth
ing of the kind. Culture means mas
terry over self-politeness, charity
fairness, good temper, good conduct
Culture is not thing to make a dis
play Of; it is something to use so mod
estly that people do not discover all at
once that you have it.

The heated term set in early this
year and If it holds out faithful to the
end of the season, summer resorts will
reap harvest. The thermometer has
crowded the ninety degree mark several
times during the last week Sunday
