A section foreman named Finnegan
was in charge of a certain section
Of bad road on which derailment of
trains were more or less frequent.
Finnegan always reported these hap
penings to his superior to the minutest
detail, and as Finnegan did not sling a
Spencerian hand, the superior ordered
that reports should thereafter be more
brief. A few days after, Finnegan's
section was the scene of another de-
railment and his condensed report
reached the superintendent as follows;
mo. 8 off agin, on agin, gone agin.-

STORMY ALL OF JUNE.

Rev. Mr.. Hicks Says the Weather Will
be Cloudy for Two Weeks.
The Rev. ITl R, Hicks has this to say
IN his almanac Of June weather:
ION the 10th regular storm period
is central, covering the 9Th to the 18th.
At this time the annual June solstice
will make itself felt in connection with
the Vulcan period. Marked depres-
sions of the barometer, very high tenn
perature and many thunder storms
and heavy showers may be counted on
from about the 10th to an indefinite
period. Moon is in the perigee on the
18th, and full at the extreme south de-
clination on the 18th, with a reaction
airy storm disturbance central on the
10Th and 10th, leading into a regular
Mercury period which is coiIcident
with the June soIstice center.
every year at this season-say from
June 10th to the 25th- showeryr
stormy conditions rise to the maxi
mum. When this annual tendency is
accelerated by other causes, it proves
to be exceptionally shOwery, with alb
normal tendency to lightning and
thunder. The most general and b ril-
liant electrical displays of the pres, mt
summer may be expected from abo Ut
the 10th to near the end Of June. Tn e
tendency will be the most marked on
and about the central days of regular
periods, say from the 10th to the 18th,
from 18th to 18th, and from the Dist to
the 25th. One of the marked disturb
ances of the present solstice will fall
on or near the dates of the moons per
igee and full, the 18th and I4tb. An
other very decided series of storms
will occuFr from about the Doth to the
oath of this month"

able to talk about her ancient things.
In front of a farm house six miles from
Burlington stands an apple treee that
was planted by a little girl just 40
years ago this spring She placed sin
gle SEED in the ground and the result is
a tree that measures six feet and four
inches in circumference, with branches
covering more than 40 feet. Forty
bushels of apples have been picked
from this tree in a single season. The
