TELL WEATHER BY ONIONS
French Peasants Plant Their Crops in
Accordance with These Pc
culiar Signs.

One of the rites performed by the
French peasants on New Years eve is
the forecasting of the weather for the
coming year by means of onions. When
the bells ring for midnight mass they
scoop out the middIes of IL onions,
set them in row on the kitchen table
fill them with salt and name them for
the months of the year Then, when
they return from mass they examine
the condition of the salt. If it has
melted in any of the months" those
months will be rainy; if the salt re.
mains dry it indicates drouth; if half.
melted the first fortnight of the month
will be wet.
The peasants have such implicit
faith in this means of foretelling the
weather that they plant their crops in
accordance with the prophecy of the
onions.

STORY OF SIAMESE TWINS.
Barnum, the Circus Man, Asked Pc
GUITAR Questions by Visitor
from the Country.

The late P T. Barnum was a keen
student of human nature, as well as a
natural humorist, and nothing which
set forth human traits that were odd
Or amusing escaped his attention. He
was fond of telling stories of incidents
that brought out features in human
character, and one of them that. delight
ed him immensely was connected with
the Siamese twins. When he was ex-
h1biting those oriental freaks the press
of the country made them widely
known and they became soon one of
his best drawing cards. One day there
came to see them a back-country rus
tic, who was perfectly absorbed in
them, and inQuisitive enough in regard
to them to require almost a bun eau of
information to answer his innumer-
able questions. MIR. Barnum happened
to be the one questioned, and he was
asked their age. occupation. original
home, whether they were sinsle or
married, their weight and stature and
their religious belief Nothing. at any
rate, was too trivial or irrelevant
for the rustic to think Of. all of
which interested the Snowman intense
IL. Finally the bucoic visitor started
slowly. but reluctantly. to leave; but
after walking away few steps he re-
turned and said with the most solemn
simplicity: They are brothers. I pre-

NO PRESIDENT A BAPTIST.
Nations Executives Have Been Mem
bers of Numerous Religious
Denominations.

Although the Baptist denomination
is one of the most numerous in the
United States, there has never been a
Baptist president.
There have been two Congregational
presidents-John Quincy Adams, the
second president, and John Quincy
Adams, his son.
President Roosevelt is the second
president of the Reformed Dutch
church. Martin Van Buren, having been
the first
Willard Fillmore was a Unitarian.
the only Unitarian president.
Washington, William Henry Harri-
son, John Tyler and Zachary Taylor
were Episcopalians, as was Chester A.
Arthur.
There have been five Presbyterian
Observation-Disclosures Jackson, James K.
Polk, James Buchanan, Benjamin Har.
rison and Grover Cleveland.
President Garfield was member OF
the Church of the Disciples.
Prior to the civil war there had been
no Methodist president Of the United
States. Since 1861 the following presi-
dents have been Methodists: Abraham
Lincoln. johnson, Gen. Grant, R B
Hayes and William Mckinley.

LIFE INSURANCE IS VAST.
State Declared to Exceed
Two Billions.

II the assets OF all the life insurance
companies, engaged IN business in the
United States were distributed equally
to all the population OF the worl0, each
man, woman and child of every CONT
nent and every country from Africa To
Labrador. would receive two dollars
each, says a writer in the Era Maya
zine. There would be two dollars for
every human being on the globe. The
assets of the life insurance companies
of this country-that is, the actual prop
erty, real estate. bonds, stocks, etc..
which they own-amount in the aggre-
gate to more than $4,000. 900, 900. The
com panies doing business in New York
state, and these include also practically
all of the companies with headquarters
in other states-had at the close of 1903,
assets, in exact figures. equal in value
to S2,226, 423 POP. Such is the magni-
tude of the institution of life Insurance.!
If all the adult men in America, of every
race and occupation, should contribute
simultaneously 500 each toward fund.
that enormous sum would not equal the
value of the property owned by the
American life insurance companies.
More than 100000 of the money paid
to the companies every year by policy
holders goes to defray the expense of
maintaining a spy system. After all the
preliminary precautions have been
taken, the medical examination made
the references looked up-after the pol
icy has been granted, detectives are en-
ployed to watch policy holders Your
money is paid to employ men to follow
dot Il oIr
into restaurants, to interview your serv-
ants, to use all the other low and con-
temptible means which these creeping
shadowers employ. The spy system of
