Hicks November Forecast.

The indications for the 1st and 2nd
are that a reactionary disturbance will
be central on those dates, causing a
rise in temperature, falling barometer
and scattering storms and squalls OF
rain and snow from about the 1st to
the 3rd. A sharp, sudden rise of the
barometer and change to colder will
follow close after these disturbances.
A bout the 9th to 10th storms OF wind,
rain and snow will make their transit
from west to east across the country.
On the 18th a return to warmer follow
ed by rain or snow up to the 14th.
Some of the most decided storms of
the month may be expected from the
18th to 21st. These stroms will reach
a crisis ON the Goth, rain, wind and
thunder being followed in many sec
tions within few hours by north
westerly gales, driving snow and change
to freezing. The freezing weather
following the last storms will react to
warmer from the 23rd to 2Gth. Look
for many more storms, largely of a
blizzardOus character, not more than
forty eight hours before or after the
25th, followed rapidly by a great rise
of the barometer and rushing cold
wave that will be felt far to the south.
Later the rain will turn to a general
and destructive sleet, and this in turn
to a real snow storm and blizzard over
northern parts of the country

A Good Snake Story,

Mrs. Isabel Savory tells in her book
"A Sportswoman in India" this story
about a man she knew: "He had a
henhouse and a hen that was sitting,
but unluckily for her Matching opera
tlons cobra got through chink in
the henhouse. The cobra made a fine
meal of well warmed eggs, but when it
essayed to retire by the same hole
through which it had entered it found
those eggs in the way. 1t was much
too large to get out, so it stuck in the
hole, half in the henhouse and half out
side. There it was discovered the
next morning in surfeited condition.
1t paid for its greediness with its life,
and then it paid back the eggs it had
stolen, for when the body of the snake
was opened the eggs were all found un-
broken and warm. They were replaced
under the hen, and in due time were
Matched, none the worse for their pecu-
liar incubation. The strange fact that
the cobra could swallow whole an egg
much larger than it's own head is &C.
counted for by the peculiar construc-
tion of that head. The head and Jaws
of the cobra are loose, and can be en-
ormously stretched and distorted"

An Unexpected Retort.

An eminent American lawyer, now
deceased, was sadly given to intoxica-
tioh. On one occasion, he entered a
church whilst minister was holding
forth on the future punishment Of the
wicked.
Fixing his eye upon the lawyer, who
was reeling near the door, the preach
er exclaimed: There stands sinner
against whom l will bear witness in the
day of judgment"
At this the lawyer folded his arms,
planted himself as firmly as he could
and addressing the man In the pulpit,
he electrified the whole congregation
after this fashion: ''Sir, l have been
practicing in the criminal courts for
twenty years, and I have always found
that the greatest rascal is the first to
give States evidence. THE Scotsman.

Have Neyes bigger than their stomachs, .
according to an old saying. They over.
eat themselves, and are tempted bv all
sorts Of injurious and indigestible edi-
bles. As consequence the foundation
of serious stomach trouble is often laid
in childhood.
For children with vweak" digestion or
whose stornachs are diseased, Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery may
be confidently recommended. It cures
diseases of the stomach and other organs
OF digestion and nutrition, so that the
nourshment contained in food is per-
tectly assinlilated and the puny child is
built up by food into a condition of
robust health.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
contains neither alcohol nor narcotics.

To Grow Old Gracefully.

10 grow old pleasantly and grace
fully it is necessary to recognize tn
fact that one is getting old and that
therefore, one should shape ones lif,
accordingly.
To begin with. to be beautiful ont
must have contented mind, and a.
this has very much to do with tht
bodily health, this should be taker
care of.
One need not be faddist or a fidget
but even the youngest girl ought to
begin to prepare for a beautiful and
healthy old age by using discretion in
diet.
Indulgence in quantities of unwhole.
some, though, perhaps, pleasant,
sweetmeats and other indigestible
foods will slowly, but surely, ruin the
best of compilations, which, as .ime
goes on, will become thick and coarse,
or, even worse, pimply.
To retain good complexion and
digestion-for the two generally go
together-the food taken should be
simple, but nourishing, and at regular
hours. Promiscuous meals are to be
avoided, and, as a general rule, stimuli
ants should not be taken.
Warm milk will be found an excellent
plck-me up when needed.
The elderly woman must remember
that she cannot undergo as much fat
igue as she could few years ago, and
that she should while taking regular
walking exercise be careful not to
overdo it.
She should also be careful to have
sufficient sleep and if she should chance
to have to keep late hours, she should
take rest and sleep during the day
time.
Cold, too, must be guarded against,
and therefore the elderly woman should |
wear underclothing of wool or silk.
Wrinkles, of course, will come, but !
no woman as she gets on in life need |
wish to be without them, for they real
ly give character to the face. If after
40 years there were no lines there it |
would surely denote want of intellect,
If not want of heart.
For the complexion there is no CO.'S
metic to equal rain water, and the
daily tepid bath should not be forgot
ten.
AS to the hair, that should be the
color nature intended it. for thus it
with the complexion, and
lyeing it is invariably an artistic mis-.
Jake.
Sleep eight hours every night if you
IAN. Few people realize the value of
leep. Take warm sponge over ev-
'ry night before going to bed. Use a
mall, hard pillow only, or if you can,
10 without one altogether. Attend to
our general health and take regular
exercise every day.-Home Chat.

EXPERT WEATHER PROPHETS.
Old Time Gulf Sailors Who Were Uner-
ring Storm SmeIIers.

1.-The greatest weather sharps in tn
world, :" said a citizen who takes an in
terest in meteorology, especially Of tn
J goose bone brand, "were the old.tim
sea captains in the Gulf and coas
trade. SquaIl smelling was q neces
sary part of their business, for, as yor
probably know, the biggest dirt
weather factory in the universe Is tn
caribbean Sea. There are no sucl
things as time and seasons down there
and what s coming next is matter O.
ipure chance. 1t may be dead calm
and it may be riproaring hurricane
so the men who cruised in those wat
ers before we had any signal service tt
help them out had to keep eontinnsJls $
on the alert, and it's no wonder that
some OF them acquired a skill that
seemed next door to supernatural.
1t became a sort of instinct, sec
ond nature, with them, and they could
not tell how they did it themselves.
They wonld predict changes before they
were even limited at In the glass; they
would anticipate the every caprice of the
wind, and many time they saved their
ships and their skins by quick, sharp
orders, which for the moment appear
ed to be nothing short of preposterous.
OF course, it was all q matter of minute
observation, good deal of which was
no doubt unconscious. They had learn
ed by long experience to read meaning
in the different forms of clouds and the
way the strata lay in the upper air;
the water was an open book to them,
and they would detect a hundred and
one small atmospheric phenomena in
visible to the ordinary observer.

nous old weather prophets years ago
on voyage to Havana. We were just
entering the harbor, when the captain,
who had been moody and distraught
for several hours, suddenly called for
the mate and ordered him to get ancbor-
ed as quickly as possible and make
everything fast for hurricane. The
mate made mild protest. The glass

about it and only occasionally one
would ask about her. But Miss White

upon the icy pavement, which caused
an abscess in her side. She was re-
moved to her home, ten miles from this

developed into hysteric epilepsy and
she has had from one to fifty convul.

sleep, and for twenty days she slept.
while the doctors worked for hours try
ing to awaken her, and only for few
moments would she remain awake.
when she would relapse into a deep
slumber. For years no one was able
to awaken her but the doctor, although
many tried thus to do.
She is now SO far recovered as to be |
easily awakened by any one.

ALBERT EDWARD AS JOCKEY.
The Prince of Wales Once Rode
HIS Horse Past the Win
ming Post.

Some person without the fear of in
fringing upon the dignity of the hear
apparent to the throne recalls the
fact that 40 years ago the prince Of
Wales, then stationed at the Curragh
camp, successfully piloted his own
horse, Rupee, first past the post at
The military meeting. This success
probably acted as a sort of incentive
for our future monarch, as since then
he has blossomed into one of the lead
ing patrons of the sport of kings, says
a London exchange.
Even princes, however, cannot COM
nand success on the turf, and the heir
TO the throne had to wait patiently
for many years ere his racers made
any mark on turf history. In 1890 the
prince won his first important event
viz, the Kempton Park Jubilee stakes

In letter written from the Kings
clere trainer the following passage oc-
ours: 'The dam of Perdita IL. was
purchased by me for the prince Of
Wales and the price paid was 1000.
The purchase of this mare was the
foundation of his success on the turf
and the foundation of the Sandring-
ham stud. The stakes won by her
produce and their value at the stud
cannot be less than 100000"
1t win thus be seen tina. the prince
made lucky purchase, as from Per-
dita H., when allied to the celebra-
ted sire St. Simon, came the three dis
tinguished brothers, Florizel H., Per-
simmon and Diamond Jubilee. The
fact that these have all been bred at
the Sandringham stud has been a
source of great qualification TO their
royal owner.
