Monday and delivered to Sheriff
Christie Stewart Perry, who is charg-
ed with the burning of large barn on
a farm belonging to Mr.. J. r. Mercer

made.

Joker.
A strange state Of mind evidently
prevailed IN Pekin during the Boxer
outrages outside the walls, outrages
which were momentarily expected to
be repeated within the city limits,
says the Youths Companion Every
body was preparing for catastrophe,
and nobody could be sure why. It all
seemed like huge practical joke,
which could not be taken seriously,
and yet It was serious, and everybody
knew IL was. There was apparent
peace, with a certainty Of coming
trouble. The foreigners were gathered
IN places Of safety, and the com
pounds they had left remained un-
molestod. One incident curiously
shows the combined lightness and
frenzy of the public mind On a GER
tain evening boy Of about l6 walked
down a street, marking a door here
and there with a circle OF white chalk,
before which he bowed solemnly. Pres
emily all the people came to their doors
IN great state OF excitement and be-
gan to discuss the proceedings and de-
bate as to what 1t might mean. The
marked houses might belong to the
friends or foes Of the Boxers, the saved
or lost. Suddenly man went up to
to the boy, seized him by the pigtail
and asked him what he meant. The
bystanders were amazed at courage
which dared interfere with an ennis
sary Of the Boxers, and the boy him
self tried to swagger a little and
brazen II out. What were you doing
II for?' insisted the man. Tell or /

the boy fell on his knees and owned
that he was only doing it for a Joke
to frighten the people. His success
had exceeded his hopes.

AMERICAN MEn AND woMEn.
Greater Community Of Interests Thar
IN Any Other Country.


In Any Other Country.
America is the land Of homes, and
taking into account the number OF in
habitants. no larger proportion Of its
inhabitants live in boarding houses
and hotels than do those Of England.
Il is also to much greater extent
than any other country Of the world
the land Of equality and community
OF interests between men and women
II one takes the typical American
husband and wife one will certainly
find that their common interests are
many; that the wife Is a companion TO
her husband and that. knowing she is
his intellectual equal, the American
man discusses freely and confidentially
with his wife his professional and
business relations to a far greater ex-
tent than does the typical English
man. Club life among married men is
not nearly so common in America as
in England. Throughout the length
and breadth Of the United States thou
sands upon thousands Of husbands and
wives spend their evenings reading to-
gether the books and magazines, or the
wife doing a bit Of fancy work or
mending while the husband reads aloud
from the newspapers. Many American
husbands and wives have taken up
what Is known as the "Chautauqua
course; many a western farmer and
his wife thus spend their winter eve
nings. Then let us take the young
unmarried men and women of my
country. Surely they do not lead very
separate lives, and their interests in
common are many. Who takes the
American girl to the museums Of art,
to the theater, to the concert2 Who
sends her presents OF bonbons, books,
and flowers, all for the pleasure Of her
society and companionship? 1t Is the
American young man. He can do it,
too, Without feeling that his attentions
will be misunderstood, for America is
the land Of good comradeship between
men and women. There friendship,
deep and lasting, without any thought
OF love making, or marriage, may ex-
ist between the unmarried Of the two
sexes, and 1t seems to be the only
country in the world where it can ex-
list. Certainly such a state Of things |
between the young men and the young
women OF country points not to a
separation. but to community Of in

Ole Moon and
the Weather


Some persons still believe that the
weather Is controlled, to an important
extent, by the influence Of the moon OF
! the planets. Long-range weather pre-
dictions, based upon this supposed in
nuence, are published, apparently find
ing a considerable number Of believers,
or 1t would not pay to print them. An
other experiment Of this sort is now
being tried in Russia.
During the past year journal called
Climat has been published every two
months at st. Petersburg. 1t is print
ed in English, German, French and
Russian under the editorshlp Of Mr.
Nicolai Demtschinsky. The earlier
numbers were devoted to predictions Of
the weather for long time in advance
by means Of certain deductions based
upon the alleged influence Of the moon.
The publication of these articles seems
to have revived some interest in the
matter. The predictions were made
to include places as far away as Aber-
deem. Scotland. and Valencia, Spainsf
DR.. H. r. Mill. the editor Of symons'
Monthly meteorological Magazine has
lust subjected the predicted weather
conditions for Aberdeen and Valencia
to the test Of comparison with the
weather actually observed at those
places. The results are disastrous for
the predictions. He found, as was to
be expected, that practically the fore
casts as a whole would appear to be
valueless" as far at least as those two
stations are concerned. A note In the
Bulletin OF the American Geographical
Society says that. as far as the writer
has observed. this is the only published
comparison Of predictions with the
facts Of observed weather.
It cannot be said that any note
worthy results have yet been attained
from the efforts Of many persons to
trace the supposed influence Of the
moon upon weather DIT. Ham, In
his great work on "Klimatologie"
makes no allusion to the matter Prof
Davis Of Harvard. in his Elementary
Meteorology" says THE control OF
the weather by the moon or the plan
cts stili occasionally finds enough be-
levers to support the publication Of
elaborate long-range weather predic-
tions. AS these are couched in general
language and intended to be applicable
to large areas Of the country It is not
at all difficult to gather a number OF
verifcations for them; but they are
no better than the forgotten predic-
tions OF astrology Of centuries ago"
