weather wisdom.

A very curious method of making
weather predictions has been discov-
cred by an old French farmer.
"On Christmas eve he says. when
the bells begin TO ring for midnight
mass. take twelve onions and place
them in Il row on II table. The first
onion will represent January. the sec
ond February. and so on. NeXt make
a large slit in each onion and pour
some salt into it. If ut the md of an
hour you find that the salt in the
March onion has melted you will know
that there will he much rain in March.
and, on the other hand, if the salt in
the April onion Is not melted you may
be certain thnt April will be IL dry
month. Moreover. II the salt in any
onion is melted nj the top, but not ut
the bottom. the first fortnight of the
month will be wet and the second fort
night dry

With us they would still he considered
children and would be in bibs and pin

are considered of full marriageable
age, and it is not at all to
find wives of six or eight or ten years.
When a proposal Of marriage is madc
the father of the young girl is applied
TO, and the following style of answer
is considered stylish and elegant:

marks of your goodness. Tile choice
that you deign to make of my daugh-
ter 10 become the wife of your son
shows that you esteem my poor daugh-
ter more than she deserves. My
daughter is coarse and stupid, and |
have not had the talent to bring her up
well. Yet | shall nevertheless glory in

This is the proper and accepted mode
of reply. But, fortunately for the girl

kinder than the law itself. so that II
family is often bound together by hap

not exist if Il man really felt his wife

OF all the vices 10 which men are ad-
dicted gambling is undoubtedly the
worst. Gambling has a worse effect
on the mind and conscience ven than
drink. The inveterate gambler cannot
remain honest; he does not remain hon
est.
We talk earnestly to the young man
with the gambling habit because many
such young men are strong In ability
and character and would render good
service TO the world If they could use
their energies properly.
The gambling instinct is Il perverted
form of ambition, the most dangerous
of human perversions. Every young
man who has genuine strength should
think about gambling from his own
point of view, and his own pride should
give him reasons for stopping.
If you want success in life you should
want it MS Il result of your own efforts,
not us the result of any accident. The
gambling instinct is weak as well as
vicious, 1t is self i%ndulgcnt and con.
temptible: ii represents the desire TO
get something for nothing.-New York

1t Is curious 10Y future events are
occasionally pretigured by some an
ticipatory token which. unlike PRESENT.
ments and ~prcmonitory dreams, makes
perhaps no impression at the time on
those whom they concern.
Here is Il striking example: One of
Charles Dickens Sons. from some
childish oddity of expression in his
large, wondering eyes, WAS given by
his father the very unique sobriluet OF
the ocean Specter," by which he was
always called. The great novelist new
er knew of the weird Significance his
playfully bestowed appellation was to
bear, for he himself had been nearly
two years in his grave at the time his
little ocean Specter," hen a lieuten-
ant in the royal navy. died and was

WHY WAR is NOT YET OBSOLETE

.
Worlds Work.-War, which becomes
more hideous as we become more CIV
ilized, but is not yet preventable, has
proved itself the only method whereby
the Japanese could win credit in the
world for the qualities that they have.
They were not regarded seriously by
the great nations. Russian commercial
adventures and Russian diplomatists
felt safe in insulting them or in tri-
fling with them. In less degree SO
did the French and the Germans. Else
they would never have forced on them
the settlement that followed their war
with China. The western world re-
garded their artistic work with admir-
alton and the trade of! Japan was sought
by the outside world. But In the
minds of the great mass of Europeans
and Americans, the Japanese were a
people who made wares of bamboo
and did work in lacquer and sent us
pottery: little people with knack
at doing pretty hand work cheaply;
and we regarded their government
somewhat as subject for comic op-
eras. They seemed a toy nation.
We know of political changes that
they had made, and their diplomatic
representatives inspired respect by
their courtesy and dignity. But the
accepted notion of them was that they
were a dainty little people who would
contribute nonessential things to our
civilization, and we were not likely in
the course of peaceful events, soon to

that our laborers, whether in the fac
tory or on the farm, would suffer, and
that. too, keenly were we to enter into
any reciprocal arrangement with Can
ada, because such an arrangement
could not be of greater advantage
to them than to us. Let
us 'let well enough alone in this case,
as in all others. Our trade Is increas-
ing at the rate of about SIS 100000 a
year in spite of our present tariff and
without any Impairment whatever of
our own market, which we need for
the benefit of our own producers.
we need only in conclusion to this
brief sermon on Canadian reciprocity
to call attention to the fact that dur
ing the life of our last reciprocity
treaty just before that treaty was abb
rogated, we were buying from Canada
S4S,000.000 worth of goods and selling
them only s24,O00,000 worth of goods.
Today without any reciprocal treaty
the position is not only reversed, but
we are selling them six times as much
as we were during the existence of
that treaty and buying from them less
than twice as much, both sales and
purchases being to the benefit Of our
own producers.
