WEA Their IN CYCLES.

' the years was as the assurance of the
salvation to the just. What happened
in 1S45 was bound to happen in 1855.
There was no getting around 1t. The
diary was continued on until the
twentieth century, the son taking up
the work when the father passed into
land where the storms Of life do not
trouble. Now the younger historian,
getting well along in years, has, he
claims, demonstrated his fathers the
DRY beyond any sort of doubt, and he
is giving his farmer friends the bene-
fit Of 1t.
THE harvest of this year will be
dry" said Mr.. Claim. "The sevens
have been almost uniformly dry since
1S4O, and are fine years for small
grain. This year will be good for
peaches, and also the year following.
Including 1906, this will give us three
good peach years in succession. The
sevens and eights are always fine for
this fruit.
But there is one ominous fight for
us this year. There will be a vista
ton of locusts. which will last about
six weeks. The locusts come every
13 years without fail. The record
shows that they we're here in 1s42,
1856, 1858, 1881 and 1894. That puts
them due in 1907.
Being forewarned, however, the
farmer can turn his ho@s and chick
ems into his orchards. and they will
eat up the pests nearly as fast as they
germinate. The locusts have never
done near as much damage in this
section as the grasshopper and are
not to be dreaded as much.
Unless in unusually large numbers
they win not eat small grain. They
devour the slender stalks Of wheat.
but don't touch the stronger stalks.
They will appear in the latter part OF
May and disappear about the 1st Of
August. The hogs should be turned
into the orchards during April. The
iocusts make fine feed for hogs and
chickens. They like them and thrive
wonderfully on the insects.
Corn win do fairly well. but may
not be quite up to the average. Next
September will be little too dry for
that grain. Wheat is the thing for
the husbandman to stick to in 1907
II he has the right character OF soil to
develop It. The season is bound to

SCHOOL FOR COLONIAL WIVES.
Some Such Institution Needed, Says
English Writer.

The colonial man is not surprised

lie thinks less and less each year Of

he comes home full Of hope and glad
ness, with a nice little round sum
saved for the furnishing and beautify-
ing Of certain colonial home that
only awaits the woman to make 1t his
paradise-to go back little sadder
little WISER with lonely feeling
that probably there win be no home
in the real sense to the end, because
there are not enough Of the right sort
to go round. And whose Is the fault?
It is the mother, who, half-conscious-
ly and half-unconsciously instills in
her girls that 1t is fatal to marry a
poor man and appear a failure In the
eyes Of her friends? Is 1t an unworthy
spirit, fostered in boarding schools.
that success lies solely in marrying a
well-to-do man? Is this why SO many
capable, misguided girls wait for the
well-to-do man who never comes,
only to be more or less burdensome
spinsteEs to the end? One almost
wishes there could be schools for
colonial wives. There is such an i'm
mense satisfaction to be gained out
Of those eartful contrivances" for

saries. and a tent By riding hard
we did the journey IN day and a-half,
and Immediately set to work to make
our preparations. so that we were
able to start back the following morn
ing. preceded by two pack-horses.
Early next morning we were again
adoat, and. after padding across the
lagools a distance Of perhaps a couple
of miles, was landed on the back OF
one Of the islands and left alone with
the pelicans for six hours. BY not
harrying them and moving quietly and
slowly there was no great difficulty in
gradually approaching them. They
soon seemed to recognize. as do most
birds II treated judiciously, that there
was no danger, and after while I
was working away within 10 yards
or is yards without causing them any
undue alarm. At last | was within
reach Of these great birds which had
eluded me SO long, and could watch
them soIemnly sitting on their nests
and feeding their half-grown young.
These young we're curious objects, as
big as geese, covered with a short dir
ty white down, with leaden-colored
feet and beaks, and small pouches Of
the same dull color. There were many
bigger ones swimming about nearly
as large as their parents. Walking
about among the pelicans in the most
familiar and impudent manner were
several hooded crows and Mediterran-
can herring-gulls. The fishermen told
us that the eagles frequently came to
eat the young pelicans; and hard by
the nearly-devoured carcass of half
grown pelican we picked up the flight
feather Of an imperial eagle. These
fishermen might naturally be expected
to look upon the pelicans as rivals in
business; In fact, had been told that
Turkish fishermen destroy the eggs
and nests whenever they can. But
we found on the contrary, to our sur
prise, that they had sort of supersti-
tious regard or reverence for them,
and were most unwilling to have any
Of them injured or killed.

POWER OF COUNTRY PRESS.

THE power Of the country press in
Washington surprises me-" said a
middle west congressman last win
ter. During my two terms | have
been impressed with it constantly l
doubt II there is single calm utter
ance in any paper in the United
States that does not carry some
weight In Washington among the
members Of congress. You might
think that what some little country
editor says does not amount to any.
thing, but 1t means a great deal more
than most people realize. When the
country editor. who is looking after
nothing but the county printing, gives
expression to some rational idea about
a national question, the man off here
in congress knows that it comes
from the grass roots. The lobby, the
big railroad lawyers and that class
of people realize the power Of the
press, but they hate it. l have heard
them talk about 1t and shake their
heads and say: Too much power
therel' The press is more powerful
than money"
This was not said In fiattery, but
because he had seen on congress
mems desks the heaps of country
weeklies. and he knew how closely
they were read, writes Charles M.
lIarger, in the Atlantic. The small
est editorial paragraph tells the poll
tician Of the condition in that pa
per's community, for he knows that
1t Is put there because the editor has
gathered the idea from some one
whom he trusts as leader-and the
politician knows approximately who
that leader is. SO the country editor
often exerts a power Of which he
knows little.

MISSOURI PROPHET PREDICTS BY
DATA OF YEARS.
Each Decade Much Like One Before
Mild Winter Means Big Wheat
Crop, But Visitation Of Lo-
Gusts Is Due In Summer.

Macon, Mo.--Macon has weather
prophet whose forecasts seem to hit
the bull's-eye. In the latter part of
August, 1906, he made this statement,
and files Of the local papers verify tt:
This will be fine year to SOW
wheat. But 1t must be in before the
goth of September; IL will be useless
to do any planting after that. We are
going to have mild winter, and that
means big wheat yield"
This weather sootbsayer's name is
August T. Claim. He Is about 55, and
operates 20O-acre farm east Of Ma
con. Such confidence have the farm
ers Of Macon and Shelby counties in
Mr.. Claims forecasts that they plant
ed many thousands of acres Of wheat
In excess Of the normal acreage.
And SO far the weather has borne
out Mr.. Claims predictions to the let
ter. The winter in these parts has
been one of unusual mildness, with
frequent springlike rains. The ther-
mometer has rarely gone lower than
25 above zero, and has more often
lowered about so.
Mr.. Claim uses no wizards wand,
no crystal globes, and no occult aid
Of any sort to tell year in advance
what Uncle Sans weather observer
will report. He carries with him a lit
tie book, well-thumbed with the pass
ing years, and full Of interesting data
compiled from 66 years back on down

70 BEAUuFY THE CITY
improvements that Are Planned al the
National Capital

Two distinct movements are now un.
der way for the improvement Of the
capital city 81 this republic. One or
these Is for the purpose of gradually
doing away with the slums and in.
sanitary conditions which are to be
found in Washingtons back alleys.
While hardly more than beginning
has been accomplished, the work OF
removing dilapidated, unwholesome
shacks and novels seem at least to be
making some progress. 1t is to be
hoped that it can be pushed more
rapidly in the future.
The other scheme consists of a plan
to appropriate ten millions to pur.
chase outright and devote to govern.
mental uses tract Of some 1000 900
square feet lying below Pennsylvania
avenue and between the capitol
grounds and the White House. It Is
pointed out that many Of the depart
ment buildings are oYercrowded; that
the government is expending large
Sums in rent for space in inadequate
and insecure structures, and that the
ground which it is desired to buy
would furnish abundant room on which
to erect stately public buildings in
architectural harmony. The execution
Of this policy would undoubtedly add
signally to the impressiveness Of the
capital. It is also asserted, apparently
with some reason, that 1t would be fai
cheaper to buy It now than to wait
until It is imperatively required, when
It's present owners will be pretty sure
to put prices up.
In any event, congress, while 1t
should not sanction waste or extrava.
gance, should deal with the needs OF
Washington In a spirit Of judicIous
liberality, says the Philadelphia Bul
letin. The historic community on the
Potomac has superb facilities for de
velopment into center worthy in all
respects Of its political status. Mig
gardly economy regarding its require.
ments would be short sighted and
foolish.
