philanthropists as well as the wisest of mankind. But, alas, up to date this man has not arrived.
 Some of the ablest scientists of this country and Europe have devoted much time and labor to the study of this prob- lem. They have consulted weather rec ords of all countries, taking note of the dates of heavy storms, and making com parison with the position with the po- sition of the moon and planets, to de- termine if there is any discoverable con- nection between the movement of those minor bodies and the sweep of storm ed dies in the earth's atmosphere. The consensus of opinion has been that there is no foundation of fact or philosophy for that system of long-range forecasts
 Modern astrologers, following closely the lines of their ancient prototypes, give the sun minor or passive role, while the moon and planets form an all-star aggregation in the evershifting scenes of the earth's drama. To each planet is assigned some speciality act on the stage, each producing different type of weather, and when the three act in conjunction the complex results are startling.
 Really, it is difficult to treat such lu- dicrous matter with becoming dignity and seriousness. A certain almanac's description of Each planets peculiar phenomena" is absolutely irresistible as mirth proyoker to any reader who possesses a sense of the ridiculous and some elementery knowledge of meteor

FRUIT AT WHOLESALE.
This Custom Is Steadily Growing in Big Cities-Keep It in Cold
 Storage.

A practice which is steadily growing h favor among town folk not alone in New York but in other American cities IS well, is that of buying their fruit at wholesale and keeping il in cold stor- tge until needed for consumption. The lost of such storage is now inconsider- uble; in most progressive towns space to accommodate package of about the dimensions o, an ordinary flour barrel may be rented for 25 cents month, or 50 cents for a season Of three or four months. Those persons who nave once tried the practice are enthusiastic over it's advantages, maintaining not only that it is much cheaper than to buy fruit in small quantities from day to day in the retail market, but also that it enables them to get the best fruit that comes to market and to have only the best all the time.
 There is a valuable suggestion here for the farmer and fruit grower, says the Country Gentleman. Apples. grapes. pears. ouinces. plums, apricots --even peaches and melons, as well as bananas. oranges and grapefruit-can be kept sound and good for a surpris- ing length of time in cold storage. AS people come to realize this more gen. erally. the opening for such trade be- tween townsfolk and country growers must increase immensely. There ii such an opening now. and the fruit men whose warns are near enough r' the cities to permit them to carry their fruit to the consumer have such an op- portunity as never was known before to market all their produce Of kind at one time-the best time for them and at good prices.
 Large growers liYing at too great dis tance from any city to carry their fruit to market themselves would find it both profitable and advantageous to employ an agent in the city 10 handle this trade for them, soliciting orders from consumers for fruits in bulk at wholesale prices and making the deliy- cries in season. IL is easy enough 10 find plenty of buyers for good fruits; the fruit-eating habit has increased enormously in the last decade or two indeed there has been a remarkably widespread awakening 70 realization of the value of fruit as staple article of diet. The one thing needful is to bring the grower and the consumer to- gether. 4 highly profitable trade is bound to follow.
 Having started with fruit, there is no reason why such direct business re- lations between farmer and city house holder should rot broaden 10 include eggs. butter. vegetables and farm produce in general. The consumer would much prefer to deal directly with the producer. whenever possible, rather than with some middlemsn. be he commission merchant. wholesaler or retailer-not alone because doing so would be in the long run appreciabiE cheaper. but still more because I would enable him 10 get The bss. Of the farmers goods and gst them more quickly and in f-eshs- better shape The grover vho exerts himself 10 dis pose of his product ia this way will soon find that he has secured a good. orostable and sure markst for all the nrosuce he can supply.

The revival of this great play was made ill excellent fash ion. care and thought being evidenced in every detail of stage management and mounting. Naturally, much specu- la ton has been made and many com parsons will be advanced of the pro- duction, but as dignified, careful pre- sentation of the play this revival de serves few words of censure and many of commendation.

 AI between those movements
 and the destinies of men and of nations as well as weather sequences. So obvious is this analogy that it is not strange that in the childhood of the race it was exalted into an absolute causal connection There is no more interest ing page of history than that which traces the growth of astrology through it's various phases, the art of divination, the taking of the horoscopes and au- spices, and the gradual development of the sciences of astronomy and meteor o1ogy. The first crude theories and con- captions of the Chaldean priests and the Magi were honest efforts to interpret natural phenomena. In later and less simple ages, however, when the priest ly class were still the repositories of wisdom, they sought to perpetuate their influence by concealing knowledge from the masses or by enshrouding it in mys- tery, and finally they wielded it not to enlighten but to enslave. And so per sistent is mental slavery, and so deep eeaten in the heart of the race are these early teachings and beliefs that there is even yet a predisposition to accept the supernatural rather than to seek the natural causes Of things.

 "As rule, the bishops of the province in which the episcopal vacancy occurs meet promtply and select three names to be sent to Rome from which the Pope is asked to make choice But on account of duarantines the bishops of the New orleans province will probably defer their conference until late in the fall The prov ince of New Orleans Is composed of the following dioceses, Natchitoches, Mobile Little Rock, Galveston, Dallas, San An tonic, Laredo, and Guthrie, Okla, Ihe state of Tennessee is not in the New Orleans province as Wichita telegram made it appear.

Germany's New Tariff,

The new German tariff goes into eff feet March next, and then the Ding leyites will have to take a dose of their own medicine. They caused all the reciprocity propositions that MT. Kas- son had negotiated to be rejected in order that their profits might stand untouched and unendangered, and Ger many is about to retaliate.
 The new German tariff names two sets of rates, the one for those coun- tries with which Germany has no re- ciprocal tariffs, the other set for the favored nations which have negotiated reciprocity treaties with that country, The first set of rates will, of course, be applied to this country, thanks to the combine of Dingley hogs who have persistently killed all reciprocity prop ositions.
 Hereafter American lard will pay a duty at German ports of $1.36 per 100 pounds. The duty of American bacon is doubled. Petroleum must pay a duty of $108 barrel, against 65 cents at present. The duties on American boots and shoes are doubled. The duty on preserved or dried beef will be $645, against $1.84 per 100 pounds at present. The duties on iron, steel and products are materially advanced. The new duties on breadstuffs are aimed directly at the western farmers who have been blindly voting the Dingley ticket Their corn will be taxed in Germany 31 cents bushel, instead of 10 cents; their rye AZ cents, instead of 21 cents; their wheat 49 cents, in- stead of 23 cents, and their flour $4 a barrel instead of $1.55 at present.
 The standpatters who say that not word or line of the sacred Dingley bill must be touched will have to an swer to the farmers and others whose products will thus be shut out of Ger many by a wholly natural and justifia- ble retaliatory act. The German re- taliation was invited by Dingleyism, and the standpatters must now face the western music

Congressman eurnett,s Story.

''Yes, you and McElrath can tell good many funny stories on me, most or which are without any foundation, what ever," said Congressman John L. Bur nett, of the Seventh Alabama district to Judge Feagin and J. J. McErath, clerk of the police court, at the city hall yes- terday but I can tell you one or two true ones that you have never heard Now, here is one of them:
 "A few years ago I was representing a long-legged moonshiner before the fed- eral court. but when the case was called l happened to be out of the court room. had never seen my client but once and then he did not seem to look at me. When the case was called my client said his lawyer was not in the room.
 "Who is your lawyer?' asked the judge, somewhat testify.
 T don't know his name. judge was the reply but l could tell him if l saw him
 " We'll what does he look like?' thun- dered his honor.
 We'll judge.' said my client. he looks more like the jack of spades than any thing else l can think of replied my client with great simplicity. and the court roared."
