Hicks Weather for May.

Rev. Irl K. Hicks, the weather pro-
phet, has the weather for May scheduled
as follows:
First Storm Period.-This period is
central on the 9th. 1t is almost certain
that phenominally warm wave for the
season will appear at that time, and a
series of very severe and violent storms
will pass eastwardly over the country
from about Friday. the 9th. to Monday,
the Sth. Vicious lightning and thun.
der, with downpours of rain and hail
will attend these storms. Tornadoes are
very probable in many localities. A
sudden reaction to very cool will follow
in the track Of these storms, bringing
frost to most parts of the country in CEN
tral and western sections.
Second Storm Period. This period is
central on the 18th, 18th and l4th.
Marked thunder storms will occur on
and touching the 18th, followed by sud.
den change to very cool.
Third Storm Period.-This period is
central on the 18th, and is about the
same as the second period.
! Fourth Storm Period.-Central on the
22nd. 1t is entirely probable that the
daily series of thunder and rain storms
started at the third storm period, ma,
continue into this reactionary period
In such event the general crisis or cul
mination of storms will come on anc
touching the oath and 25th. In any
event, storm conditions will be increased
on these dates.
Fifth Storm eriod.--This period ex
tends from the 9th to the 3lst, bein,
central on the Goth. The storms of thi
period will develop az early as the 2Sth
in western parts, and falling baromste
with more rain and thunder will advanc,
eastward over the country during th,
last three days Of May.

Homestake pays its dividend. This
month, like last, fifty cents per share
was paid to the fortunate stockholders.
This is the 376th monthly dividend of

paid in October, 1873, and one every
month since. 1t is reported that the
company will soon begin the erection of

mean the increase of its milling facilities
by one-third, with more than a corres-
ponding increase in the profits. The

Oriuin of Mrs. Cain.

"I never discuss marriage" said the
late Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, without
thinking of an old colOred preacher in
my state who was addressing his
dark-skinned congregation when a
white man rose up in the back of the
building.
"Mr. Preacher" said the white man.
"Sir to you" said the parson.
"Mr Preacher, you are talking
about Cain, and you say he got mar.
ried in the land of Nod after he killed
Abel. But the Bible only mentions
Adam and Eve as being on the earth
at that time. Who, then, did Cain
marry? Did he marry his mother?"
1.-THE co1ored preacher snorted with
unfeigned contempt.

Whole Town Chanoed Location,

We have been accustomed to hear
ing Of the bodily removal Of houses,
but 1t has been left for Russia to pro-
vide the spectacle of whole town
Of some 5000 Inhabitants changing its
location This, however. is the case
of Lepsinsk, town in the district Of
Semiretsche, in Russian Turan.
Twenty-Five years ago Lepsinsk was
founded on land provided for the pur-
pose by the governor general Of the
province. This land had, however,
formerly belonged to the Semiretsche
horde of Cossacks, who strongly OBJ.
jected to the transfer. For twenty-five
years the dispute has continued. and
now at last the Inhabitants OF Lep-
sinsk, hearing of a suitable site
thirty-five kilometres to the northwest
of their present quarters. have decid-
ed to remove thither in body. taking
their possessions and as much of their
habitations as possible along with
them.

In.ect That sits on Eaas.

A remarkable case Of an insect sit.
ting on it's eggs is recorded by F. p.
Dodd in the Transaction of the Ento-
biological Society Of London. This
strange departure from the normal
habits of the insect race is exhibited
by a species OF bug. The female sits
in a brooding attitude over her eggs
for a period of three weeks. When
the young begin to break through she
retires an inch or SO from the eggs
and remains there for some hours
until the last egg is Matched. She
then departs, leaving the young ones
to take care Of themselves. During
the whole time of brooding, and till
all the young are Matched. the mother
eats nothing. 1t is thought that this
brooding habit may be means OF pro-
lection against the attacks OF ichneur
mon flies.-London Globe.

PaSsport to the Pole,


Certainly the oldest passport ever
issued was one signed by the Govern
or of the Russian province OF Pow
DISK, on the shores of the Arctic
ocean, who granted safe conduct to
the North Pole.
He was approached by two members
Of an expedition fitting out for polar
exploration who gave as their destin-
alton the North Pole. The governor
was nonplussed at this unique request,
but his visitors insisted on being sup
piled with the desired papers and
their request was granted after the
governor had thoughtfully written in a
clause stipulating that the responsible
ity Of the Russian government ceased
when they passed from Russian terri
tory. The explorers assented to this
qualification, and since their travels
carried them but q short distance to-
ward the pole they are still possessed
of their unique documents.-New York
