west and change 10 cooler, the daily
repetition Of the storm may not be
looked for at this time. But at a
subsequent disturbance sometime

that daily series of storms of thun-

the celestial equator, on her way to

and frost over northern sections,
will most likely follow these reac-
tionary perturbations, with very
cool weather over most parts of the
country lasting from about the 18th,
up. to about the 18th.
The Vulcan storm period central
on the 2lst, and covering the 10Th to

very active storms may be counted
on. We will name Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. the 21st, 22nd

the storms of this period will de-
velop and run their course from
west TO east.

storms of wind and rain. The Mer-
curry period is central on the 3lst,
with mooa on the celestial equator

Dried sunflower seeds are egg
producing, and can be fed sparingly
in place Of meat scraps, as they con-
tain q goodly supply of oil. The
sunfower heads are q fine thing for
fowls to peck at on cold winters
day to extricate the seeds. Thus
they get exercise that gives them
warmth and health. says the Con-
necticut Farmer.
When one has spare ground near
the hennery it is a good plan to
plant q plot of sunfiowers for the
fowls TO work at during the fall. 1t
viii keep them out OF mischief else
where. We break down several
heads each day for the layers to eat.
These seeds give the fowls CLOS
sy coat, red comb, activity and a
generous supply Of eggs.

Rich Gifts That Embarrassed.

The funniest thing I ever heard Of
has happened in Il family Of moderate
means. but whose daughter is a young
person Of vaUlting ambition. She
was engaged to a very nice young
man, who was equally impecunious,
and they would often bewail their lot
at not being able to be married and
receive a quantity Of numerous and
costly presents. The time arrived,
however, not very long ago, when the
wedding came off, and to this young
lady's astonishment her friends sent
bridal giftes that. in name at least,
eQualed milliOnairedOm.
There was a yacht and house, an
automobile, which is one Of the new
offerings in smart society, a chest of
silver, and, last but not least, a dia-
nOnd tiara. But alas, all these COW
rted objects were toys! With them,
however, had been forwarded many a
pretty and useful souvenir so the
bride does not quite know whether to
laugh or cry at her wishes having been
gratified at the expense of her sense
of hunor. The practical joke, at any
rate, made much fun, and to my mind
is good satire on the opulent displays
at fashionable Weddings.-Boston Her.

William COaker

died at his home, five miles south
west of this city, Saturday, April l9,
1902. Mr.. COaker was born in
Devonshire, England, June 30, 1914.
At an early day he emigrated to
America and had lived in the vicinity
of Mineral Point ever since, where he
was well and favorably known. He
was twice married; his first wife being
the daughter Of Captain John Will
Iiams, Tuckingmill, Cornwall, Eng
land. Six children were born from
this union, five of whom died when
quite young. About twenty eight
years ago he was united in marriage
to Miss Mary G. Kinsman. To them
were born two daughters, Martha and
Eva, who with their mother and
Charles, the brother, are left to
mourn the loss of a kind and indul-
gent husband and father. His last
illness, which was an attack Of pneu-
mOnia, lasted about month, and al
though it was known that he could
not possibly recover, the members of
the family spared no pains to com
fort him through the silent valley.
The funeral was held on Monday,
when large number assembled to
pay their last tribute of respect to
their friend and companion. Rev.
W. F. Tomlinson Of this city, and
Rev. Wickham Of DodgeViIIe made
appropriate addresses at the home.
The body was inferred in GraceIand
cemetery, there to rest until God shall
call his own people together. The
sorrowing family have the sympathy
of the entire community.

Fishing Through Street Gratincs.

hn Winchester, England, it is quite a
common thing to see men fishing
through the street gratings. Under the
High street there flow several streams
which ultimately discharge into the
river Itchen, a noted trout stream.
These streams receive the storm and
surface water from the street by means
of the ordinary street grating. The line
is dropped through and fastened to the
end Of a stick small enough to go
through the CRATE. When the fish is
hooked, the line and stick are dropped
through the grating, and the fisherman
rushes to the point where the stream
emerges from under the street and is
there able to recover his line and land
his fish.

During the past week Prof. Bergen
has been teaching the boys of the
Geometry class the use Of surveyors
instruments and some of the practical
applications of geometry. SO far the
work has been confined to measuring
the inclination of the neighboring
streets, but it is hoped that the boys
will become sufficiently skilled so that
more complicated work may follow.
This actual application of geometry
gives a partial insight to what might
be accomplished by thorough study
OF it. The boys highly appreciate
Prof. Bergen's efforts, and hope that
his time spent in this work will not be
spent in vain.
