For candidate who assumes to be
certain of the nomination MI Mckinley
seems to some to be overanxious. This
is what Coolidge, the Washington cor
respondent of the Boston Journal
has to say of the result of
an effort to have Senator Lodge visit
Canton, Ohio:
Senator Lodge was approached to-
day by a friend of Gov. Mckinley with
an intimation that he would be a well
come guest at Canton. He replied
promptly that he was not in that kind
of business. that he had nothing to so
to Canton for and no favors to ask.
He said that he intended to do every
thing in his power to nominate Speaker
Reed. If he should be defeated he
could bear up under it, for he had
known what it was to be beaten. but he
did not think he should be defeated
He assured Maj McKinley's friend that
all of Speaker Reeds supporters in New
England would stand by him at ST
Louis, and that Mr.. Reed, and, SO far
as he knew. every other candidate
would stay in the race until the end

Signs OF Coming Rain.

When the cat washes her face look out
for rain.
Just before rain the common house fly
is very troublesome.
Crickets sing much more sharply just
before a rain than at other times.
The falling of SCOT from Il chimney is a
tolerably sure indication of approaching
bad weather.
Parrots are good barometers Just be-
fore Il rain the most talkative and gabby
parrot becomes silent.
When bad weatheris imminent swallows
fly low. because at such times the insects
which constitute their food keep near the
ground.
Spiders always come out of their holes
shortly before a rain. being advised by
their instinct that insects then fly low
and are most easily taken.
1t is a curious circumstance that the
skin OF the abdomen of frogs changes lis
from clear white becomes dirty yellow
Ducks are more than usually noisy on
the approach of a storm. and their loud
quacking is considered by farmers to be
an almost unfaiiing sign Of rainy weather.
Many persons are so sensitive to tho
changes of weather that they are them
selves natural barometers, and can fore
tell a change. though unable to explain
the manner in which they are affected
by it.
Shepherds say that the wool of sheen
furnishes an excellent indication Of
weather changes. When it is crisp there
will he no rain. When 1t is limp and feels
very soft to the touch a storm is immi-
nent.
Ladies' bangs are good indicators of a
coming storm. When they go out OF
curf' the indication is for rain When
they are dry and crisp fair weather will
enSue. When the hair Is naturally curly
however. 1t becomes more so on the APP
proach of rain.
