FATAL LoQUACITY.-In New Eng
land village rich in quaint and anus
ing characters, John Bates was re-
nowned for his ability to hold his
tongue. The gift approached genius
but John was keenly alive to what he
considered its incompleteness, although
of course, he said nothing about it.
He made mattresses for living, and
one day a native of the village came
into his shop and said:
"John, what's the best kind of a
mattress? ?"
"Husks," said John and said no
more.
Twenty years later, so the tradition
runs, the same man came again to the
shop and asked what, in Bates opinion,
was the best kind of a mattress.
"Straw," said John.
"Straw? You told me husks was
the best ~
John gave a despairing sigh. "Ive
always ruined myself by talkin'," said
he.-Youths' Companion.

WAS AFRAID HE HAD DONE
WRoNG.-Among the specialists whom
the government employs here in Wash
ington is learned gentleman who was
once the superintendent of Sabbath
school. One of the stories he tells OF
that epoch is of day when visiting
clergyman addressed the school. On
the very front seat sat pale little boy
who had come to Sunday school that
morning for the first time in his life.
He watched the visiting clergyman
with almost painful interest. The Wis
iting clergyman was large man, with
great, dark eyes and voice like unto
that of the bull of Basham. He rose.
"Children," he thundered, "who
made this glorious universe
His black eyes glared fiercely at the
new boy on the front seat. The urch-
in squirmed and trembled.
81 did, sir" he said huskily, "but l
won't ever do it again. ."-Washington

OLD WEATHER SIGNS.

| Ihunder on Sunuay is cOnSlueTeu
by the weather-wise the sign of the
death Of a great man on Monday,
the death of great woman on Tues
day, if in early summer, it foretells an
abundance of grain; on Wednesday,
warfare is threatened; on Thursday,
an abundance of sheep and corn the
farmer may reckon upon on Friday,
some great man will be murdered on
Saturday, a general pestlence and
great mortality.
Fridays weather shows what may
be expected on the following Friday ;
that is, if it rains on Friday noon, then
it will rain on Sunday; but if Sunday
be clear, then Sunday will he fine as
we'll.
The IL days Immediately following
Christmas denote the weather for the
following IL months, one day for the
month. The day of the month the
first snow storm appears indicates the
number of snow storms the winter
will bring. For example the first snow
comes on November 29-look out for
20 snow storms.
There is an old saying-which orr
ginated, perhaps, for the benefit OF
school children-that there is only one
Saturday in the year without the sun
shining during some portion of that
day.
A gale, moderating at sunset, will
increase before midnight; but if it
moderates after midnight, the weather
will improve.
If the full moon shall rise red, ex.
pect wind.
The sharper the blast the sooner it is
past.
A light yellow sky at sunset pres,
ages wind.
When the sky is full of stars expect
rain.
When you see northern lights you
may expect cold weather.
Three foggy mornings will surely be
followed by rain storm.
If cat washes herself calmly and
smoothly the weather will be fair. II
she washes "against the grain" take
your macintosh with you. If she lies
with her back to the fire there will be
squall.
HORSES WILL BE SCARCE.-Last
week representative of The Ameri'
can Sportsman took 500 mile trip
through western Ohio and eastern and
northern Indiana. In daylight ride
of 200 miles from Lafayette, Ind, to
Toledo, through the rich garden lands
of Indiana and northwestern Ohio,
our representative saw only two colts
of 1899 birth. A day of bright June
sunshine across thousand farms and
pasture fields too numerous to men,
ton, and only two colts. There were
lambs and calves a-plenty, with bab'
ling little ducks by every babbling
brook and downy goslings every
where, but no colts. Why is it thus ?
Has the senseless talk in so many me-
tropolitan papers about the coming
horseless age, driven all business sense
out of the mind Of the breeders, or
have they not yet realized the sure ad-
vance of horse prices that the coming
famine is sure to bring?
1t is as sure as death and taxes that
the breeder who breeds well-pedigreed
colts now will find a sure and remuner-
ative market in the coming five years.
We are sure we shall not lose caste as
prophet, when we predict that breed
ing high-class road and speed horses,
is now the best paying investment the
stock farmer can make.-AmerIcan

POLICE HAVE HARD TINE
NATIVES SAY SOLDIERS IL
TREAT THEM.
Having Business on Transports They
Are Assaulted, Pelted ana Niciously
Abused Betimes.

The native police of Honolulu have
big kick against the way they are
treated by both war vessels and trans
ports in this harbOr This morning the
station house yard was full of stories
of i'll treatment received at different
times recently The incident of yes
terday, when two officers We're refused
permission to serve a warrant on the
transport Para, has rather intensified
the discussion.
The natives say, too, that they are i'll
treated only on American vessels. They
do not understand this either, expect
! ing better treatment at the hands of
Uncle Sans men than from those of
other nationalities. on British and
other vessels they are never mOlested
| in the discharge of their duty. Senior
Captain Parker told a story this morn
| ing which was Corroborated by a half
dozen other native officers standing
near him. He said:
our men have to exercise the great
est care in visiting an American trans
port or warship on business. We get
! orders from the commanders of YES
sells to arrest deserters or to help them
in doing so. When we come up with
the deserters we are required to deliv-
er them on board. on nearing the YES
sci it is nothing unusual to have big
chunks of coal, pieces of wood and ev-
cry other thing you can think of hurl-
ed violently at the poliCemans head
The men line up on the deck prepared
to receive the policeman in this way
when he brings in a man. What stumps
us is that the officers always see il
and seem to say nothing. One time
I was struck in the back of the head
while in the door of the commanding
officers room making a report on ar
rests made"
A short time ago, while taking thret
men aboard ship officer Kupihe was
thrown into the water He was toe
strong for his men, however and tool
them to the vessel. When he got Their,
it was to find a hundred men lined III
on the decks armed with all sorts o.
missiles ready to hurl at him. He veer
ed away and came up astern, put hi
men aboard and went out around tn,
reef Another police officer was turn
ed out into the bay and had to swim
| ashore. Several times. the men say
they have had narrow escapes in re
turning from transports. The soldier
seem to hang together and to have
down on the native police.
Yesterday afternoon, after having
been refused permission to go OF
the Para to serve his warrant
Captain Parker was jeered from
one end of the ship to tn
other. The officer of the day, stan1in
= on the gangway, seemed heartily anus
ed and laughed with the men.
