Why the oldest Iahabitant's Stories
Are Not Always Correct.
a CORES pondent in Mortified, Mass,
desires our opinion on the question::
"Were the winters of so or IS years ago
much colder or were the snowfalls
deeper than at PRESENT." The opinion
Is widely held that the winters were
colder and the snowfalls deeper, but I
can find nothing to warrant the belief
except that in the first part of the cen
tury much larger percentage of the
population lived IN the hill towns in the
Interior, which are much colder than
the valley or the coast towns
On the general question as to appre-
ciable changes in climate the editors
opinion is that there has been no such
change in any respect whatever SO far
as meteorology proper is concerned.
II we divide our records of the weather
recorded in North America since the
days of Columbus into two periods,
viz, before and after the year 1900, we
shall find that every popularity, such
as remarkable storms, winds. rains,
floods, frosts, etc, recorded in the cur
rent century, can be matched by cor
responding remarkable event before
the year 1900. The popular impressions
alluded to by our correspondent result
almost entirely from the imperfections
of our records and especially of our
memories. There is a large class of per-
sons whose habits of thought are SO
crude that when they experience any
very remarkable weather they jump to
the conclusion that the climate has
changed, forgetting that they them,
selves have had such limited person.
al experience that they are not fair
judges of the weather over the whole
country or of the climate of a century.
Our correspondent seems to suggest
that n certain change in the habits Of
the people, such as the removal from
the interior to the coast, or from forests
TO prairies, or from country to city, or
vice versa, will partly account for wide
spread errors in respect to the climate.
The suggestion is excellent, but the
editor would be inclined to interpret
the phenomenon somewhat differently.
The general movement of the popula-
lion in the past century has been from
the Atlantic states westward, and from
the country to the city, or quite oppo-
site to the movements suggested by our
correspondent. In fact, we find no real
agreement in the so-called popular tra-
ditions with regard to the weather. We
have met with quite as many persons
who think the winters are more severe
as with those who think the winters are
less severe than formerly. Every
thing seems to depend upon how and
where the oldest inhabitant" lived
when he was boy, as compared with
his present condition. The average cli-
mate of New England, SO far US the
weather is concerned, has not apprecia-
bly, changed since the days when her

Pawning bicycles In France.

One curious feature of cycling In
France is the use made Of the govern
ment pawnshops by cyclists as store
houses during the Off season. AS soon
as the season draws TO an end there
Is a regular rush TO the pawnshop. AS
the wheels are carefully stored, II
the precaution be taken of well oiling
them before they are turned over TO
the state, no harm can possibly come
TO them. As regards the cost, the BIZ,
cyclist IS big gamer, as for from 30
10 40 cents he can store the bicycle for
four months, without taking into ac-
count the feeling of security. The
state IS responsible for the safe keeping
Of the wheel. II any proofs were want
ed that 1t is not necessity that causes

A MOTHER-BIRD'S LOVE
How a Pigeon Cut Her Way to Her
Imprisoned Young One.

How a Pigeon Cut Her Way to Her
Imprisoned Young One.
In the animal Kingdom there are
many strong examples Of mother love,
and the birds are particularly noted for
| displaying it. A remarkable instance
of this maternal instinct was recently
noticed near Elwood, Ind. A mother
pigeon whose young one had mysteri-
ously disappeared searched unceasing-
ly for weeks for the little one, and one
day last December she was seen flying
violently against the side of frame
building in the city.
Each time she came In contact with
the house she Clipped off small bit
of wood with her bill. For nearly two
days the old bird kept this practice
up, often during that time falling ex-
hausted from the repeated shocks and
the fatigue. In the afternoon of the
second day she had pecked hole in the
wall, the wood of which was old and
soft from the weather. This hole was
large enough to admit mans head,
and through this the mother bird went
and came.
Livery time Sne entered Snc CurTleQi
grain or seeds or grass. Some curious
people investigated the hole while she
was absent, and there they found the
little lost pigeon, just below the hole,
wedged in between the weather boards.
For two days more the bird continued
TO bring the little one food, and would
stay futtering near the hole, chirrup-
ing and trying TO cheer the little pris-
oner up. Many times 1t entered and
seemed to be trying to extricate it's
young one, but II could not succeed In
doing so, try as it would. The prisoner
had flown into the building, which was
empty, and managed to get between
the weather boarding, near the top Of
the inside. Falling a considerable dis
tance. II lodged in the narrow space,
which did not permit it to use it's wings
in rising again. Its plants had reached
the mother and she, not being able TO
reach il from the inside, had cut
through from without An admiring
man thrust his hand through the hole
and brought out the fluttering young
thing, to the great delight of the anx-.
ious mamma bird.-Chicago Chronicle.

BANNING INDIAN SCHOOL
Interesting Closing Exercises Helt
Last Monday

BANNING. June 3O.-On June 9th the
closing exercises were held at st. Boniface's
school, where over hundred Indian chill
dren are educated. The school is con-
Quoted by Father Florian Hahn and the
Sisters of st. Joseph. The closing day was
remarkable for the number of Indian visit
ors from the various reservations consid-
cradle over hundred of the parents and
friends of the children being present to wit
ness the exercises. There were also pres
ent a goodly number Of the friends of the
school from Banning, Beaumont, Cotton
and Redlands.
The program was of very interesting
character, and presented great variety
of items. There we're drill exercises
which looked remarkably well, and then
the singing showed that in proper hands
the Indian ear and voice is capable of a
high degree Of cultivation. Many of the
musical numbers would have done credit
to the best choir in California. 1t is not
easy to overcome the phlegmatic Indian
temperament, but in the comic pieces the
children were Just as funny as the spryest
young Americans. Then there was little
drama Of patriotic and local interest,
which was warmly received. The sisters
and Father Hahn were warmly congratu-
had, been achieved by their pupils, who
showed the result of much patient labor.
On the following day most of the Indian
children went home to the various reserva-
lions for the usual vacation.
