Thunder Lore

The natives of the Hawaiian Islands
considered thunder as Icing Mauna
Loa's echo from the clouds This Gu
rious notion has crystallized weather
proverb which is now current among
many of the white residents of the
islands-viz, ut will rain today;
Mauna Loa shakes the clouds" In
this connection 1t may be remarked
that the early Scandinavia settlers in
Iceland believed that there We're some
mysterious and supernatural connec-
tons between the roarings OF uecla and
the "angry mutterings OF Joye." In
England many of the pcasantry still
plant the house leek-"Jupiter's beard"
on their house roofs as preventive
against thunder, lightning and evil
spirits, a custom which reminds one of
Charlemagne's edict, Eel habeat quis-
que supra domum suam Joyis bar
bam."
Another widespread superstition, and
one that has been noted among the
tribes and nations from China to Eng
land and from Cape Hatteras TO the
Golden Gate. tells us that If the "claps"
or reports of thunder come in even
numbers the storm will be of short
duration and very mild, but, on the
other hand, If they come in uneven
numbers, especially If the reports be
a series of five nine or thirteen dis
tinct chps, much loss of life and prop
erty will result.

The Cleaners.

The old custom of cleaning in the
harvest fields, which recalls the Bibli-
cal story of Ruth and Naomi is not
obsolete in England, and in HEREFORD
shire, Bedfordshire and the neighbor
ing counties as soon as the wheat is
gathered in the late days of August
there may be seen in the newly cleared
fields numbers of women and children
diligently picking up one by one the
scattered ears and forming them into
neat little sheaves, which they carry
In their hands until large enough to be
bound up. When the daylight fails,
all the booty is bound up in cloths and
carried home on the heads of the
cleaners At home they thrash it out
by hand and sell the grain or use it
for their chickens. The gathering of
a half peck is usually full days work
for q child, and often woman spends
whole day in gathering very little
more. Cleaning, however, is looked
upon somewhat in the light of a picnic.
The mother and children leave home in
the morning, take with them food for
the day, and stay out in the fields until
nightfall.-Detroit Free Press.

Kenuebec Journal: AT least six
young men from Maine are planning to
enter the Yale school of forestry this
fall. They are John Appleton of Ban
gor, H. B. Eastman of Portland, Blaine
s. Viles of Skowhegan and Edward E,
Carter Of Bath, all graduates of Bow
dom; Frank B. Moody of New Portland,
a graduate of Bates; and Clyde Church
Of SkowhC gan, graduate of Colby. No
doubt one thing which has influenced
these young men In turning to this
course of study has been the success of
Roy L. Marston of Skowhegan, Bow
doin man in the class of 80, who grad
uated, last June, in the first class to
leave Yale forestry school and who is
now an instructor on the faculty of the
school. During the summer Mr.. Mar
ston has been doing forestry work 10 the
Northwest and he Is recognized as one
of the coming men in profe sion, which
though very young, is fast assuming

A Quick Witted Pastor.

In Germany a country preacher was
preaching a sermon when suddenly he
lost the thread of his discourse, and,
do what he would, he could not find it
again.
The congregation was greatly embar-
raised and was wondering what the
matter was when he startled it by ex
claiming hurriedly, Pardon me, my
brethren, for pausing in my sermon,
but 1t seems to me that | smell fire
somewhere-and-and 1t might be well
to see that it has not broken out in the
church or in any of the nearby houses"
Before the words Were all uttered
the congregation was pouring out Of
the church, each family being anxious
to make sure that its home was not on
fire. 1t need hardly be said that the
fire existed only in the pastors mag

A Prosperous Year.

The 4lst annual report of the Maine
Central railroad company has been made
public,
The result of operations for the year
has been as follows Total receipts, Sc
3S4, 16l AZ; divided into passengers in
come, so, 505 062. %; freight, 50, $50, 24l.-
08, and $3.50, 1874, other receipts, for
rents, income, investments, steamboat
earnings. etc. This is an increase of
1897, 224.39 over the receipts of the year
before. but the operating expenses
were $3.50, 921 SO In excess of last years
expenses which caused a decrease of net
receipts as compared with last year of
S2O2 ,697.14. The net receipts were
however, $1,795 600 80.
The continued general prosperity of
the communities served by the company
is reflected In an increase Of its gross In
come during the fiscal year to the amount
of 1887 ,224 80 or 649 per cent. The
revenue derived from he carriage, how
ever, increased only SIS, 054 Oh, or 3 II
per cent, showing that the general re-
duction in passenger rates made during
the latter part of the previous fiscal year
has not yet produced proportionate en-
largement of the general volume of the
roads passenger traffic. The revenue
from freight was 1862 ,307.8O larger than
that Of the previous year, or 1855 per
cent and the number of tons transported
increased 30S, 1903, or s rs per cent.
The increase of $3.50 921, SO in the
years operating expenses was partly
due to the higher cost OF labor and of all
other things necessary In railroad opera
tions, but more largely to a greater ex
penditure and appropriation for new
equipment.
