Germany would cast into deep mourn
ing, proved true. This month Earth
will be in the House of Religion, "
opposed by the House of Kindred,
which will cause us some trouble with
nations who are our kindred friends.
The shadow of the Upright star" in
the Golden West will soon fall upon
the Roman Empire and cause the
whole Empire to mourn. Great re-
ligions and International controversies
will arise and may end in serious
complications. A tidal wave of crime
will sweep over rhe whole world and
break all records of the past. 4
great flood of prosperity will soon
sweep over America and carry away
many business men who have ven

great financial river. Get up on the
hill, all ye business men, for the f1cod

The great electrical storms that
bombarded the States OF Pennsylva-
mia, New York and New Jersey, last
month, were all foretold in our Au-
gust predictions. Only partial breaks
appeared in the great sea of gaseous
matter passing over the sun, during
last month, and we have reasons to
believe that the meteorological condi-
tions during the current month will
be very much the same as last month,
excepting great downpouring of
rain, that will cause destructive floods
in many sections of the country.
The old country will be terribly
storm swept. West India cyclones
will sweep up the Atlantic coast and
do great damage. Let all summer
resorts along tire coast take warning
A tidal wave is coming soon. A
large comet is sailing earthward. 1t
will be sighted by the great telescopes
within short time, and will appear
in the Northwestern skies. Watch
out for a meteoric display this month,
and several beautiful sunset scenes.
Watch for the moon and the bright
star on the evening of the roth inst.
Several earthquake shocks will be
felt this month.
The typhoid and yellow fever in
creased in virulency last month and
made the death record just about
what our predictions foretold. The
yellow fever will continue to rage this
month and will spread out into new
territories, and more fearful plague
(Black DEATH will soon begin its aw-
full work of destruction in Cuba, and
in some sections Of the old country.
Be careful of your diet this month,
for the "Blood Tappeis will soon
continue their work of destruction in
the abdominal region of both man
and beast. Remember they caused
many deaths last months and untold
suffering A Glow Ebb" will pass
over America from the 18th until the
10Th, and will cause many sudden
deaths. Those afflicted with heart
disease should be careful of over-ex-
ertion at that time. All fruit picked
during the Low Ebb days of this
month will decay and spoil. An cpl
demic of fevers and children diseases
will break out In many sections of the
country. Also an epidemic that will
affect the circulation of the blood
and canse the heart to weaken.

Miss Minnie Pollock and Miss
Cora Miller entered the COLUMBIAN
office in March, 1894, to learn the
printing trade, and remained here
constantly until last Saturday, when
they voluntarily retired. They are
excellent compositors, and have made
themselves useful generally in the
Office. They have been faithful en-
ployees, and we regret that their
home duties have compelled them to
give up their positions.

A BRlcAND CAPTAINS CAREER,
The News OF His Recent Capture Causes
n Sigh of Relief.


u Sigh of Relief.
The news Of the capture of the noto-
rious brigand, Captain Athanas, the
terror of travellers in the Balkans, has
caused sigh Of relief. His career is
the most remarkable in modern brig
andage. He had withdrawn himself
from his profitable and romantic busi-
ness some time before his capture and
lived peacefully as citizen at Kusl-
owitz. His past did not, apparently,
affect his social position in town
which is somewhat remarkable for its
indifference as to the antecedents OF its
inhabitants, for the one very good rea-
son that he had given up oil the incon-
venient habits associated with his for
mer adventurous life. He tried even to
make himself popular among his
neighbors and gave his ill-gotten gains
"a veritable Robin H0od-for the
benefit Of the poor and distressed.
The deed by which his memory will
go down to posterity is undoubtedly
the ''holding up" of the international
express in 1891 from Oonstantinople
to Vienna at the station of fischer
keskoi, close to the Turkish capital.
The train was derailed, and the pas
sengers, under the escort of the Ber-
lin tourist firm Of Stangen, were plum
dered and carried off to the mountains
to be held as hostages until ransom
was paid. Among them was an Eng
lishman. With the exception Of four
Germans and Jew, all were subse-
quently released. With sharp eye
to business, the Jew, rich Berlin
merchant named Moritz Israel, was
dispatched to Constantinople and
brought the alarming news that the
hostages would be murdered unless q
ransom Of 200, 900 francs was forth
coming. The German government in.
tervened and finally paid the ransom.
Later some Of the brigsnds were cap.
tured. But Athanas managed to evade
all pursuit. st. James Gazette.

Parsnlps for Late Use.

The parsnip is not only one OF the
hardest Of garden vegetables, winter
ing in the open ground without injury
rs also does satisfy or vegetable oyster,
as it is generally called, but, like the
last mentioned plant,it starts to grow
ing very early in the spring. SO soon
as the leaves start ON either, the roots
should be pulled up and carried to a
cool cellar or pit, rs the growth OF
leaves will very quickly make the
roots unfit for use. All the first leaf
growth is taken from the root and is
the beginning toward seed formation.
The root rapidly shrivels and loses its
succulence when the leaves grow larg-
er. The part of the parsnip at the
surface of the ground will taste ncrid
and 1t doubtless possesses some poi
sonous qualities, as is the common be.
lief among farmers. No kind of roots
which are biennials are fit to eat after
their second year growth has begun.
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1898-04-27
Breeding to the standard.

The most prolific source of failure in
profitable poultry raising is in breed
ing and selling offthe best eggs instead
of keeping them for Matching pur-
poses. A poultryman starts in with a
fine strain of fowls and by good care
induces the flock of hens to lay eggs
literally during the winter when they
are high in price, and the product is
sold. When the breeding season
comes he uses the eggs laid in the
spring, by hens that are not winter
layers, for Matching, forgetting the
law of nature that ''like begets like. "
The result is that the young pullets
do not lay the next winter, as he hoped
but are spring and summer layers as
their mothers were. . 1t is comparn-
lively easy to breed strain of winter
layers by simply using for Matching
the eggs from winter laying stock.
Many changes in breeds are made
solely because the owner thinks the
flock is ''run out" when as matter of
fact it simply needs breeding up to
the required standard. Mate few OF
the best hens Of your flock with a
good male and keep only the best
chicks from the hatch. Follow this
method for few seasons and you will
soon have flock which will be profit
able. e.-Atlanta journal.
