To-day viii settle, according to tradi-
ton, the weather for the next six weeks.
If the bear comes out Of his den and
sees his shadow he will go back and stay
for forty days. That is the belief Of
Candlemas day. 1t is the one day of the
year when the sun is unwelcome. A Ger
man proverb declares the shepherd would
rather see the wolf in his fold than the
sun on Candlemas day. The story OF the
bear who rouses himself from mis- long
slumber, and comes out of his hole, return
ing to sleep six weeks longer, If he sees
his shadow, is told of the woodchuck (or
ground-hog) and in many countries of The
badger and other alternating animals.
A Scotch saw runs thus:
IF Candlemas day be dry and fair,
The hat O winters to come and malr;
If Candlemas day be wet and foul
The half o. winters game at Yule."
Its substance is embodied in our own
saying: "Half your wood and half your
hay on Candlemas day." a practical meas
ure of the winter stores.
The weather bureau, which does not
pin It's faith on traditions, predicts fair
weather for to-day so that if the bear
shows himself and looks for it, he is ike.
ly to see j is shadow.
The storm. which was predicted for yes
terday, brought high winds and rain most
Of the day, aud last night a gale was
blowing on the coast.

HOME RULE FOR CUBA.
Queen Regent Signs Decree for the
RefOrmA Pr0pOaed.

Washington, April 3G.-The announce
ment from Madrid that the queen
regent has signed a decree applying
the reform laws to Cuba is considered
by officials here as a realization of the
plans under negotiation for many
months to. give Cuba an autonomous
form of government or home rule. The
nome rule plan about to be applied was
made public in detail by Minister Du-
puy de LONE on February last. A
council of administration is created for
the government of the affairs of the
island. This council will be in the
nature of a parliament made up of 81
members, a majority of them being
elected by the Cubans and lesser num-
Ter appointed by the throne. The coun-
Gil of administration is given practical
ly supreme control of the island, SUBJ
ject to certain supervisory authority
by the home government. One Of the
most important features of the plan is
that allowing Cuba to revise her tariff
schedules. The reform law was passed
March 5, 1898, but never applied to
Cuba owing to the uprising. On last
New Years day it was promulgated by
the queen regent and gazetted in Ha-
vana as a concession of the new year.
Its actual application was still with
5Eeld, however, until Gen. Weyler could
announce that the island was pacified.
On the kings fete day the plan was
amplitied. The decree now signed by
the queen appears to be the last step
toward actually applying the law to
Cuba.
