LESSONS FROM THE DRouTH.

The old saying that 1t Is a bad wind that blows no good to anyone is a true proverb. and we might say the same of all weather conditions, that 1t Is poor weather when no good can be found in 1t for anyone. The severe drouth through which we are passing is one of unusual and effected a large scope of country. While the drouth has been severe and nearly destroyed many crops, one might on first thought wonder what good could be had from such weather. This drouth has furnished some object lessons which our farmers would do well to remember and profit by in the future.
 The writer has been doing some ex- perimental work as well as making many close observations of soils and crops during this dry season, and we think we have learned some valuable lessons From a long experience of farming and after having passed through many sea- drouth, have found that far more dam age is done by excessive rains and that farmers generally suffer far greater loss to crops in the extreme wet seasons than they do from the effects of the extreme drouth seasons. Of the two extremes, the writer would choose the drouth every time.
 One thing about the drouth is that our lands are not nearly so badly damaged and there Is not that wash. wear and tear on the soil of dry season that we have to suffer of a wet season. The damage to the soil of dry season Is small. while the damage wrought by floods and washes during our extreme wet seasons often becomes so great that 1t requires years of patient toll and the best of care to re- pair the damage. We have had the two extremes right together. Last year we could do nothing on account of so much rain, and this year nothing for the want of rain. I leave it to the reader to say whicn of the two seasons he would prefer. For my part, as stated, would prefer this, the dry season. In these dry seasons, what crops that are made can be saved. and sold at good prices, while as was the case last season,

From the Philadelphia Times.
 The Mont Pelee disaster was taken as text by one of the speakers at a recent nearby camp-meeting of negro Zionists. He explained that the erup- tion was a rebuke to the greed of mankind, along the following lines:

Eighteen NewIy-Wedded Couples.

Reading (Pa.) Telegram to N. Y. World.
 Aboard one of the passenger trains on the main line of the Reading rail road which passed through here Sat urday there were sixteen newly-mar- ried pairs. They came from Williams port, ShamolSin, Mahanoy City and Pottsville, and were on their honey moon. At this station two couples from this city who joined the pro- cession were rendered a great ova- ton. The floor of the car was GOV cred with rice, and there were any number of old shoes lying around.
 Before the train pulled out from here one of the Reading benedicts, jovial fellow, stepped to the center of the aisle and said:

POST0FFICE ROBBED.
Thief Breaks Window of Private Office of Postmaster
Night Clerk Was Out to LunchGene Phillips Arrested
Suspicion-.Somc Money Recovered.

At about four o'clock this morning,
Gene Phillips, the night clerk at the
Grand junction postoffice reported over
the telephone to Postmaster Edwin Price
that the glass in the office door entering
his private office had been smashed, ad
mitting some person who had robbed the
Office by cutting open the strap OF the
registered mail pouch and abstracting
therefrom the registered mail. The
same information was telephoned to
Assistant Postmaster Walter Mulkey q
little later, by the same person, Gene
Phillips.
When Mr.. Price had heard the news
he 'phoned back to Phillips to inform
the city and county police OF the
robbery and that he would como to the
postotiice at once. This was done at
once by Phillips and the whole force was
at work very early in an endeavor to 10.
cate the thief or thieves
When Mr.. Price arrived at the office
he was informed by Phillips that he had
been over at The Pastime getting lunch,
between the houis Of three and four or
thereabouts, and that it was during this
time that the Office door was broken open
and the registered mail stolen. An ex-
animation showed also that about $50 in
money which had been left in the stamp
drawer had been taken also, but it could
not be ascertained how much had been
abstracted from the mail pouch, as the
list had been taken with the registered
packages.
From point Immediately within the
door of Postmaster Prices private room,
there are drops of blood leading into the
inner office; at least the fluid which WAS
on the floor had the appearance of blood,
as il the party or parties who had broken
the glass in the door had been cut in so
doing.
There was no confusion within the
office. no papers torn open and no other
mail bags mutilated save the registered
mail pouch, and the strap on this was
cut. This pouch arrived on delayed No.
last night and the packages OF money
and other registered matter had not been
distributed or forwarded to other places
OF their destination.
At about seven o'clock this morning,
Postmaster Price, who was looking in the
water closet which had been overfowed
with water for some reason or other. saw
towel which had been missing in the
early morning, sticking out from the
water tank in the closet. He pulled
down the towel and was surprised to find
in the end Of it, which had been tied to

form receptacle, quite a quantity Of
silver, evidently part OF the money which
had been taken from the stamp drawer.
This gave the officers some clue, and
as the water had overhown in the closet
there was some apparent reason for it's
80 doing. Investigation showed that
something had been stuffed down the
closet, evidently some thick paper. A
plumber was secured and by his efforts
several large envelopes were taken out Of
the flush pipe leading to the sewer.
When Phillips was asked what was the
cause OF tho overflow Of water in the
closet, he said he had let the water run
into the basin and had forgotten to turn
it of. and it had overflowed. He further
stated that he had gone there to wash
his hands when he returned from The
Pastime.
The story told by Phillips about the
water and the fact that the money was
discovered whore it was, led the officers
to suspect Phillips, and at about eight
o'clock this morning Deputy Sheriff
George Smith placed Phillips under ar.
rest and took him to Jail.
Postmaster Price, in talking with .
Sentinel reporter this morning, stated
that the night man was not supposed to
leave the building, the outside doors al.
ways remaining open, because it is sup
posed that the night man in charge ID

seems to have heard the breaking glass

Office. No other pouches we're disturbed

which Mr.. Price estimates WAS in the
stamp cash drawer.
Later.-While search was being made
in the postoffice for further evidence ill
the robbery, $40 in bills was found SO,
cured in mattress which was used by
Night Clerk Phillips. Postmaster Price
went to the county Jail this afternoon to
see whether Phillips had confessed any
knowledge or connection with the affair.

Reese, and said that after he had seen
her he might talk about tho matter.

this story. 1t seems to be indigenous to
the soil, and somehow the people get used
to them. / have seen a man have as many
as two chills a day, one in the morning
and one in the evening.
Il have seen men have everyday chills
and th!rd-day chills, and chills every nine

in the St Francis basis shake until they
would almost jar the mud chimney down at
the end Of the shack. They would simply
shake the whole house, and you could hear
their teeth rattle a hundred yards from the
house. I heard man say few years ago,
and he had lived in that 81 ction a good
long time, that three-fourths of the crop of
red peppers was consumed every year N an
effort to keep the chills off. They are great
believers in red pepper as remedy for
chills. OF course, L am not vouching for
this red pepper statement, although know
personally that the citizens of the section
use 1t a great deal in an effort to break the
chills. How much of the crop they use

nothing but get into some sunny place,

quit shaking he would make break for

was beating faster. and the fever was COM

learn from the annual report of the asy

ell that the increase of lunacy in London
last year was greater than 1t has been in
any year since 1896. On January / last the
number of London lunatics under the cog

Among the causes of insanity in patients
admitted hereditary predfsposition is held
accountable for 81 per cent of the cases, and
alcoholic intemperance for II per cent. If
1t were possible. however, to investigate
fully the family history of every patient, it
is quite likely that alcohol might be proved
to play an even more prominent part in the
causation of insanity than these figures In
dictate.
