SOCIETY WEATHER BUREAU.
NEPTUNIC KNICK KNACKs.


Entering the little shop, the eye
was caught by a tangle of fshnets
and shells, which covered the walls;
old sails, looped up with the aid of
shell draperies, curtained off the
owner in a tiny workshop; emerging
therefrom to show his wares, he
proved to be the first mate. News
and bits of gossip were exchanged:
I'm better off at this" he said;
I'm teaching society people the
weather signs; they call it mystic
thought, or something like that; but
it doesn't worry me, so long as it.
pays. I have a little series of les
SON cards Che handed one to the
caller), more like ~gimcracks than seri-
GUS teaching-but they're correct
The card contained brief informa.
ton something like this: "In plan
ming for an outing, remember that
if the temperature falls suddenly,
there's a storm coming from the
south; if it rises, it's from the north.
Watch the breeze; it blows from
good weather to storm. Cirrus
clouds float from a storm to sum
shine. When they seem to be run
ming away from each other in the
north or toward northeast, therein
be rain during the day. When the
wind changes, it makes its shifts
with the sun, from left to right.
When the u goes down rosy, fine
weather; rusty-red, storm; pink sky
in the morning, bad weather; dove
gray sky, fair weather"
q charge so cents a half-hour for
lessons" continued the old salt. "and.
I use charts and Instruments, just as
they do on 5hipboard. They seem to
enjoy it, and learn quickly"

EATING or TURKEYS.
Esteem i'm Which They Have
Been Held by Epieures.


The first turkey eaten in france is
sVid to have been served at the we'd
ding banquet of Charles TX. The
MeXican birds were taken to Europe
and then brought again to America
as a domestic bird. The journals OF
many of the explorers like Capt.
John Smith record the excellent quail
tiles of the Wild turkey. They were
plentiful from Canada south even to
the e coast. One traveller writes on
the great store of the wild kind of
turkeys, which remain about the
house as tame as ours in England
The famous French authority, Bril-
lat Savarin, who visited this country

count of his experience in hunting
wild turkeys. On his return from
this expedition some famous man was
telling him stories of Washington.
The Frenehman's attention wan
dered, but he by a marked effort re-
covered himeslf and said: 81 beg a
thousand pardons, but I was think
ing how to dress my wild turkey"
Another story of Savarin was told
by Talleyrand. Passing through Sens
on the way to Lyons he sent for the
cook, according to his custom, and
asked what he could have for dinner.
The report was discouraging, for al
though four turkeys were roasting in
the kitchen they were all for one
guest. II should like to meet the
man who orders four turkeys for his
WI eating" said Savarin, and he
went to pay his respects to the stran-
ger, who turned out to be his own
son.
What, you rogue, four turkeys, all
for yourself?"

The requests for theater favors in the
small towns are very troublesome. Every
person of local standing feels that he has
a right to admission at least, while the trus-
tees and the constable feel that they are
entitled to private boxes. Some of the
requests are decidedly unique, says the
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Recently a company played a small
southern city. The manager was taking
the tickets at the door of the theater, and
the natives were struggling to get in. Sud
