with falling barometer and other
storm indications appear about the
times Of new Moon. When other
astronomic causes exist at the same
time with new Moon, the effects are
apparent accordingly. Watch and
determine all these problems for
yourself.
There are good reasons to appre-
bend that hard and general winter
storms will occur on sea and land
during the last four days of January.
The Venus perturbation although,
it does not appear in the storm dia-
gram, will be a decided factor in the
last two storm periods for the
month. This means that very sudden
and extreme change of temperature
will occur, with winter rains, wind
and thunder, changing with surpris-
ing suddenness into fearful b]izzards
and tempestuous, boreal winds and
cold waves. Some such results need
not surprise any reader Of these fore
casts during the last week in
January.
We feel that it will be a time ly
service to warn our readers espec
tally against storm and weather in
February. Strong astronomic reason
exist leading us to apprehend many
servere disturbances, and much
disagreeable, wintry weatherin that
month. We will be explicit, in our
forecast in February Word and
Works means time, We insist that
the February forecasts in our 1903
Almanac be carefully studied. and
as zealously followed. We do not
hesitate to say now that we believe
that February will be one of the
toughest months of the winter, in
the main, and that many localities
will encounter great danger " hen
the flood and crush of ice gorges
begin to break and move down
narrow de6les and streams. Some
of tho most violent of the vernal
equinoctial storms will approach
the southern coasts, and will prob
ably before the end of February.

Glass for Pavemeuts.

Experiments of importance and
value with respect to the use Of glass
pavements have been made recently
in Europe. In the streets Of every
large city in the world thorough tests
of asphalt, Of wooden blocks, and OF
various kinds of stone have left much
to be desired. If the capitals Of the;
principal nations can use tootings Of
specially prepared glass in their
crowded avenues of travel and of traf-a

and endurance. And if glass, pave

The examination of Bishop and
Klock was concluded about five
O'Clock Saturday afternoon. After
the testimony was all in, the state
moved the release of Bishop and
the holding of Clock. The testimony
in the main was about the same as

were against Clock who was placed
under one thousand dollar bonds to
appear before the grand jury in

The club Of dozen members Or,
less is the most enjoyable one. All
that II necessary to do Is to call three
or four friends together. Choose "a
topic to discuss and then meet at one
of your friends rooms and talk It over
for an evening. There should DO no
officers, no constitution, no fixed rules
and no refreshments. In order that
every member shall take part 1t IT,
wise to have each one speak in turn
without interruption till every one
has had his say las long or short - he
wills), then throw the meeting open.
This method Of procedure insures that
every one shall take his part in the
discussion. It IL vitality important
that only congenial spirits should be-
long to such club. One bore or ono
member who loses his temper when
new idea is advanced will completely
ruin such gathering. Be democratic
to fault within the club, but be very
exclusive in selecting new members.
The meetings should Lot be held often
er than once in two weeks, nor less
than once in three weeks. The topic
for discussion should be given out at
the previous meeting, but no one
should go to my laborious research In
looking up the subjects; otherwise the
discussion will be stilted. Avoid also
choosing subjects on which the mem
bers hold no definite opinions, and
which do not, therefore, vitality inter-
est them. In other words, make the
club simply a gathering where every
little while you and your best friends
can talk seriously about those things
that most interest you. It might be
good plan to refresh your memory as
to Benjamin Franklin's famous Jun
to-" the Literary Club" of DR.. John
son and the Metaphysical club of
which Tennyson and Huxley were
members. These were conducted some
what on the above principles. and were
among the most successful small
clubs ever known. It should be added
that the sexes ought not to be mixed in
such club as this, nor should the
members be of widely different ages.
Anything that constrains the freese
Intercourse should be rigidly excluded

Liberality and Relief.

A statistician has been at work upon Andrew Carnegie's contributions to li- braries. He reckons that MT. Carnegie has given to 15S libraries this year an aggregate of s6.679, 900. This is an enor- nous sum of money and the power that it represents cannot easily be calcu- lated
 MT. Carnegie's giving was altogether voluntary and we have no objection to raise to it, but we do venture to say that yesterday there were numerous contributions dropped into the boxes in the churct=s which represent far greater gifts than this overpowering pile of money. By the liberal terms that he made with the steel trust MT. Carnegie received sSOO,OOO,OOO of per cent bonds for his steel works and what went with them
 The income of these bonds is SIS, O00,- 900 year. How much can a man spend on himself in a year? Jay Gould used to say he got his board and clothes out of his wealth and that was all. Perhaps Russell Sage figures that he gets his board but carries the clothes over from previous years. That is inn material. But allow any old sum for MT. Carnegie's bill of living expenses. call it the modest figure of S5,OOO,O00 a year for castles, retinue, yachts. and all the rest. Then he has S1GOO0. 900 a year piling up on his hands. Of this he has given away say s7OOO, GOO. In other words he stands S3.OOO, GOO to the good after enjoying his generosity on such large scale. How many people would be troubled by announcing that they would just reserve 5000, 900 for their, years expenses and add 8, 900, 900 to their surplus and then would reck- lessly give away every cent left of their incomes?
 All things in this world are compara- tive. MT. Carnegie's generosity is to be measured by his means of giving. So is the generosity of John Smith. who buys from the steel trust and never had a chance to sell out to it. If he cleans up s2, 500 a year, supports his family on that, educates his children, and now and then drops a SV in the contribution box, which makes the greater sacrifice, he or the man with S1O,OOO,O 900 left on his hands? The fact Is that MT. Carnegie unloads care just in proportion to the amount of money he rids himself of The possession of more money than any one man ought to want or to have is no enviable en- dowment. The man who staggers under its responsibilities has a load on his mind and perhaps on his soul.

A Word About Wills.

It would seem that the time is near at hand when it will be a complete waste of ink and paper for anybody to make will. Even now, the m2n N ho takes that method of directing the treatment of his estate after he is dead throws himself liable to the suspicion of lunacy or imbecility.
 This very common reflection on the sanity and intelligence of persons who dare to exercise the privilege of doing as they desire with their own property, and the cheerful aid which the lawyers lend to this sort of vandalism, raises the question whether it wouldn't be wise to abandon the making of wills altogether, or to restore to them the standing in the courts which once pro- tected testators from the insults to their memory which in these days are not only tolerated, but heartily en- couraged by the legal profession and the judiciary.-Kansas City Star.

Cause and Effect.

The uncle of the czar, the Grand Duke Vladimir. has communicated his views of the Kishineff massacres and of the persecution of the Jews in Russia to correspondent of the World at Homburg. The Grand Duke Vladimir does net speak. of course, with official authority. What he says is to be accepted only as an expression of the views of a very in sents,e othat rd hrdlu hrdlu rdlu dl u telligent Russian. He fairly repre- sents, we presume, Russian public opinion in the aristocratic circle. We quote from the Worlds report of th~ interview:
 But first l would like you to explain to me the origin of the prejudice which exists in your country between the white and the black raoes-a pre- ejudice which I know has existed since the be- ginning of the American state and is in existence today.
 "Or, similarly, can you account to me for the prejudice existing between the Irish and the English Catholics and Protestants?
 Tt is impossible to do so. The causes of racial prejudice are far too remote, too numerous, too complicate.
 This is precisely the question with which we are confronted in Russia to- day. It is impossible to give all the causes which have contributed for cen turies to produce the racial hatred against the Jews, which has been espe- oially strong since the time of Peter the Great"
 The grand dukes reasoning is alto gether unsound. There is no analogy, or very little, between an undiscrimin- ating attack upon hundreds of Jews in Kishireff and the lynching of a black man here and there in America. In beth cases a spirit of lawlessness is ex- hibited. That is as far as the compari- son extends There may be, there is, ic certain states of the American union a prejudice. against the black race. But lynchings are a manifestation, not of a prejudice against race, but of the desire to execute vengeance upon ar

They had been guilty of no act involving a legal penalty. The motive O. the attack was plainly race hatred. Its victims were guilty Of being Jews that was their sole offersc. The grand dukes inquiry into the origin of the prejudice against the blacks in this country is pCintless end irrelevant to any discussion of the Kishireff out rages. Equally pointless is his refer ence to the prejudice between Protest ants and Catholics in the United King dom. Does he recall in recent history any prcmiscuous onslaught of the one upon the ether?
