WEATHER PROPHETS.

Blow out a candle, and if the wick
continues long to smolder look for cad
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 one 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 Ii 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 and no dew
falls, it is a sigS it is going to rain.
This omen loses much of it's mystery
when ons remembers that dew has not
fallen because the night was clouded.~
WheS 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 can be seen
shining through riffs in distant clouds.

The Original wcaa,ne ,znx..

Our wedding cake is the remains Of a
custom whereby a Roman bride held in
her left hand three wheat ears, and
many centuries later an English bride
wore on her head a chaplet Of wheat.
The attendant girls threw corn, either
in grains or in small bits of biscuit or
cake, upon the heads Of the newly mar
ried couple, and the guests picked up
the pieces and ate them. Such was the
beginning Of the wedding cake, which
did not come into general use until the
eighteenth century and was then COM
posed of solid blocks laid together and
iced all i've with sugar, so that when
the outer crust was broken over the
brides head the cakes inside fell on
the floor, and they were then distrib-
uted among the company.

HE WAS A PAINTER,

A Prisoners Excuse In q
New York Police Court.
1t is characteristic Of almost all the
prisoners except the DRINKS that their
chief concern is to secure a delay. They
plead and beg for an adjournment,
which they know will only postpone
the inevitable for a day or two, and
that although, through their inability
to obtain bail, they will have to stay in
prison just the same. The most plausi-
bic explanation is that they all are
fatalists, always hoping that something
unexpected may turn up to stave off
the impending catastrophe. The
DRINKS, on the other hand, are more
eager to face the arbiter of their fates,
knowing that nothing worse than a fine
is likely to befaH them and that the
sooner it is imposed the sooner it may
be paid or served off. And then there
is the chance, if the magistrate is in
good humor, that they may get away
unscathed at once.
AS a rule, although not seldom still
in their cups, they are loath to make
any discriminating admissions. mo,

from falling over by holding on nerv
ously to the bar; tI'm not drunk.

wonderful kind, some of them really
Ingenious. others merely ridiculous, are
put forward when the futility of feign-

I yer heard was advanced by a man
who, when taxed with having dis
played unmistakable signs Of intoxica-
ton, simply replied that he was a
painter by trade.
"That has nothing to do with your
condition." said the magistrate.

HE WORKED TIE BANKER.
How n Clever Merchant Killed Two
Birds With One Stone. g.

Birds With One Stone. D.
Recently Il wealthy merchant in Par.
is who does an extensive business with
Japan was Informed that a prominent
firm in Yokohama had failed, but the
name Of the firm he could not learn,
though he wa most anxious to ascer-
tain whether it was the n with which
he did most of his business in that city.
He could have learned the truth by
cabling. but instead he went to the
man, a well known banker. who had
received the news and requested him
to reveal the name of the firm to him.
That's a very delicate thing to do"
replied the banker, "for the news is
not official, and if l gave you the name
! might incur some responsibility" -
The merchant argued, but in vain,
II finally he made this proposition:
II will give you," he said, "a list Of
ten firms in Yokohama, and I will ask
you to look through it and then to tell
me, without mentioning any name,
whether or not the name Of the firm
which has failed appears in it. Surely
you will do that for me?"s
YES" said the banker, "for if I do
not mention aay name 1 cannot be held
responsible in any way"
The list was made. The banker
looked through it and as he handed it
back to the merchant said, "The name
Of the firm which has failed is there"
"Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant, "for that is the firm with
which l did business" showing him a
name on the list.
"But how do you know that is the
firm which has failed?" asked the
banker in surprise. , "
Every easily" replied the merchant.
"Of the ten names on the list only one
is genuine, that of the firm with which
l did business. All the others are fctt-
tious."

The eBasin" Of an Ample,

One end of the apple bears the name
of "basin' and contains the remnants

est point in the whole apple as con
Germs the question Of the keeping quail

and the canal to the cor firmly closed.
there is much less likelihood Of the

To Thread a Hair through a walnut.
To pass a hair through a walnut
without boring a hole seems an impos,
sibility, but the feat has often been
done. The hull of the walnut when
examined with a strong glass is seen
to have innumerable small openings,
some Of which lead entirely through
the nut. The trick consists in using q
very fine hair and an infinite amount
Of patience. Pass the hair into one Of
these minute crevices and urge it gen.
thy along. Sometimes it will appear on
the other side at the first trial, but il
it comes out at the hundred and first
you will be very lucky. 4.

Tue Woman and the Rose.

A traveller stopped at a little cabin in
the Georgia woods. He wore a white
rose on his coat, n that a little girl
had plucked and pinned there as he

A woman entered the cabin. She
stood and gazed at the rose a moment.
Then, darting forward, she tore it from
the strangers coat and stamped it on
the rude floor.
"Why did you do that?" asked the
stranger, leaping to his feet.

near. "That's my wife. an'-an'-she

The action was brought to adjudi-

Recognize No Unions.

Helena, Mont. Feb. 2.-The big
Western Montana lumber companies,
controlling the lumber output of the
western section of the state, amount
ing to millions of feet annually. have
formed an organiza ton and adopted a
resolution pledging themselves not to
recognize any labor union. During the
winter the lumber jacks have organized
a union and it comprises in its mem
bership all of the men employed at the
mills, numbering several thousand. At
a recent meeting the union fixed the
scale of wages for common labor at
$3.50 for a day of nine hours. The
rate heretofore paid has been 81 a day
for ten hours.
