WEATHER PROPHETS.

Blow out a candle, and If the wick
continues long to smolder look for bad
weather. II it goes out quickly, the
weather will be fair.
The twelve days after Christmas in
dictate the weather for the following
year. Each day in order shows the
weather for n month.
When it begins to snow, notice the
size of the flakes. If they are very
fine. the storm will be a long one; if
large, the storm will soon be over.
If the chickens come out while it
rains, it is a sign that the storm is to
be. a long one. If they stand around
under the shed, the storm will be short.
When the cattle lie down as soon as
they are turned out to pasture in the
morning, it is because they feel a rheu-
matte WEAKNESS in their bones, and you
can look for rain soon
When a night passes aud no dew
falls, it is a sigs it is going to rain.
This omen loses much of it's mystery
when one remembers that dew has not
fallen because the night:w was clouded.
When you see the sun drawing water
at night, know that it will rain on the
morrow. The sun is said to be draw
ing water when it's rays a be seen
shining through riffs in distant clouds.

EVIL w

The Christmas number of the De-
%lineator is at hand. This is also the
thirtieth anniversary number. To do
Justice to this number which for beauty
and utility touches the highest mark,
it would be necessary to print the
entire list of contents. 1t is sufficient
to state that in it the best modern
writer's and artists are generously rep
resented. The book contains ove-
23o pages, with 81 full-page illustra-
tons, of which 20 are in two or more
cclors. The magnitude of this De-
cember number, for which 72S tons of
paper and six tons of ink have been
used, may be understood from the fact
that 81 presses running il hours a day,
have been required to print it; the
binding alone of the edition of 915,OOO
copies representing over 20,OO0,OOO sec
lions which had to be gathered indi-
vidually by human hands.
The Christmas number of The De-
signer is unusually attractive. Its
fashion department illustrates and de-
scribes the latest in winter wearing
apparel and millinery, and under
Points on Dressmaking" is furnished
most useful instruction for the making
Of Juvenile garments. A Christmas
Cantata by Frederic Van Rensselaer,

VERY MUCH MIXED SOCIETY.

GentIeman1y Burglar a Welcome
Visitor i'm English Society.
There has been some complaint in
aristocratic circles in England that in
great country houses there is now
found much mixed society.
This has, however, always been the
case. A well-known actor passed three
days at an historical mansion without
knowing either hest or hostess; he
knew that the marquis and his wife did
not speak to one another, and that each
would think he was the guest of the
other.
All records of the kind have been
surpassed by what has recently taken
place in France. A fascinating person
has been recently making a round Of
visits at certain chateauA. lie was
well known in society,"" which means
that he was gladly received in it, though
nobody knew anything about him.
He lived, when not in town amono
his friends, in a very luxurious fash
ion. But all that he seems to have nos
sessed of his own was a set of scientific
instruments of burglary. In his pos
session was also found a portfolio with
plans of the interior arrangements Of
the houses at which he had been stop-
ping.
One can imagine a polished forger.
Fauntleroy was a most accomplished
person, and gave excellent dinners.
When he was under sentence of death
he was called on by one of his noble
friends, who said: 'Since YOU are 90
ing to leave us, perhaps you will now
tell me where you get that green Gu
racoa FROM" but polished burglar is
quite a novelty.
Conceive his thoughts willie he is saw
ing soft nothings to the lady he, took
IN to dinner. How he. must have eyed
her jewelry, and wondered where she
kept it! What nights he must have
passed fitting from room to room. a
habit which, if discovered, he would
doubtless have attributed to sleen-
walking! How very little must have
been known among his fine friends of

Honolulu, May "a, via San Fran

volcanic eruption at st. Pierre are
supposed to have been felt here, in
unusual conditions of the upper at
mosphere. The phenomenon OBJ
served here was a deep-red glow,
which continued west long after the
usual sunset glare should die out,
and in the morning began before
the rising sun usually shows color
in the east. Professor c. J. Lyons
says the phenomena is similar to
that observed after the tremendous

Girl Who Can't Speak German WEEDS
Man Who Knows No
English.

There are descendants of Germans
in Berks county, Pa, who do not un-
derstand word of English, although
they have lived in this country all
their lives. One of these is Jacob
Weinsheimer, who owns what he calls
the Castle Of Lobenstein, on the east
ern slope of Mount Penn, says an east
ern exchange. Until recently he lived
the life of hermit. The hillside lead
ing to Lobenstein is so steep that it
is impossible to use the ordinary
American farming implements drawn
by horses. Weinsheimer' principal
implement is the kind used in very
hilly portions Of Germany. He calls
it ''karst." It is shaped like a big
horseshoe fastened to a wooden han
die. With this he digs and stirs up
the earth instead of plowing and har-
rowing it. He also has numerous 9TH
er small hand implements. With these
he raises large quantities of vege-
tables, wheat, rye, barley, corn, sugar
cane, sweet potatoes and grapes. He
reaPs his grain with sickle and
threshes it with mallet.
recluse short time ago. He was
working for a farmer on the hills in
the neighborhood, when he was intro
duced to Miss March, from Ohio.
She was some 20 years younger than
he, but that made no difference. The
love-making was slow, for the woman
could not speak German and he was
unable to speak English. But the
language of love finally made itself
understood between them. He pro-
posed, was accepted, and now hap
pier couple than Mr.. and Mrs. Vein
sheimer would be hard to find.
Weinsheimer is a great admirer of
pets, such as dogs and cats. He is the
owner of a black fox terrier which he
says he would not part with for 500
in gold. He is a perfect terror to the
snekes and has killed more than 1000
copperhead and blacksnakes during
the last five years.
