weather, and believe in the predic-
tions of Rev. Irl r.. Hicks, may scan
the following program for what com
fort they can find: There will be
storms from the 9TH to the It'll, says
Hicks. From the 10th to the 18th is a
regular storm period. From the 10Th
to the 18th unsettled and unpleasant
weather. From the 10th to the 18th
will be the greatest storm period of
the month. The last storm period
runs from the 9th to the Goth. The
month will close fair and cool. In all
probability the spring months will be
very wet.

After = Long Incarceration, eomo Grim
inais Dislike Freedom.

After the civil war many negroes
found themselves so helpless In their
suddenly enforced freedom that they
begged to be restored to slavery. From
long habit they had grown attached
to slave life. So we find prison life
endeared to long-term convicts.
Comte de Lorge. confined for thirty
years In the Bastile, declared when
released that freedom had no joys for
him, and, imploring in vain to be al
lowed to return to his dungeon, pined
/ to death in six weeks. When Chin
wang the Chaste assembled the throne
oil China he ordered the prisons to De
thrown open. A venerable prisoner OF
IS years pleaded that he might be al
lowed to remain in his cell. For sixty
three years he had lived in its gloom
and felt that he could not bear the
glare of the sun and the hustle OF the
| city.
A woman 'in Leyden, on the expira-
ton Of a long term Of imprisonment,
begged for permission to return to her
cell, adding II the request were re-
fused as q favor she would commit
some crime which would give her a
title to her old quarters. A prisoner
condemned to death had his sentence
committed to seven years close con-
fnement on bed of nails. At the end
of FIVE years he declared that II ever
he were released he would adopt from
choice what habit had rendered SO
agreeable to him. A well-known
criminal once said that he had grown
to like the quiet and the subdued light
of his cell, the spots and patches on
the walls, the hardness Of his bed and
the regularity of his life, with Its free
dom from all care and worry. He did
not wish to be released. 1t is an ev-
eryday practice Of negroes to commit
offenses that will return them to the
chain gang, where they will be In IA
miliar company and get plenty to eat
and drink.
