Queer Weather Forecastina.

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 middles of twelve
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
remains dry, it indicates drought; IL
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.

An Egg In a Bottle.

A chemist has discovered simple
means of getting an egg with un-
broken SHELF into bottle Of, say, the
ordinary kind, used for ginger ale.
All you have to do is to soak boiled
egg in vinegar for three days. The
shell becomes so soft that it can easily
be forced through the narrow aperture
of the bottle. And once it is inside If
it is soaked in water for little while
the eggshell resumes it's original hard
ness-and there you are!

PONCE WAS SIGHTED DEC. %.
Captain of Sailing Vessel Thinks Her
Disabled and Drifting.

New York, Jan. THE missing
steamer Ponce, of the New York &
Porto Rico Steamship company, which
is about a week overdue at New York,
en- route from Ponce, P. R., was safe
and proceeding toward New York two
days after leaving Ponce. This in
formation was brought into port Sun
day by Capt. Chapman of the big sail
ing ship Shenandoah, which arrived
from Port Blakely. Capt Chapman
reported that on Dec. % he sighted
the Ponce in clear weather and pro-
ceeding at her usual speed toward
New York. Believing that the steam
er would be in this port several days
before the Shenandoah would arrive,
he signalled to her to report the
Shenandoah on arriving. When sight
ed the Ponce was in north lat. 27.4S
and west long 694S. She had not
covered half the distance from Ponce
to New York but was about $50 miles
north of Porto Rico and $50 miles
northeast of the Bahama islands
which were the nearest land.
Capt. Chapman said the Ponce had
probably been disabled by an acct
dent to her machinery and had drifted
out of the path of the regular liners
from the West Indies but will be re
ported or towed into port by some
steamer bound from Europe to a
southern port.

MISSIONARY MEETING.
An Interesting Campfire Held at the
n. q. Sheriff Home.

One of the best meetings yet held
by the ladies' missionary society OF
the Christian church was that Of Fri
day afternoon at the home Of one OF
its members, Mrs. Sheriff, on North
Third street. After the business
meeting the leader Of the program,
Mrs. Manford Biggs, assembled her
helpers around the cheerful fireplace
and introduced them as missionary
soldiers of Porto Rico and Jamaica.
They told of the progress of the
work of the Christian Woman's Board
Of Missions on these islands and OF
some of the difficulties encountered
there among the natives.
Several missionary songs were sung
by Mrs. Long and Miss Reid to the
music of our national songs, and with
the blinds drawn ana lights on and
the rudy glow from, the huge fire
place, it made each one feel a kindred
spirit for our own brave boys and
compare them to the soldiers of the
cross who are fighting for the souls Of
men in heather darkness.
The refreshments were army ra
lions served on tin plates and in tir
cups.
There was one incident of the meet
ing that saddened the hearts of thosi
present, and it was the reading of The
resignation of the president, Mrs. b
w. Johnson, who has been presiden'
of the society eight years and whost
place will be hard to fill. 1t came a;
a surprise to most of those present
but the surprise was turned when The
vice president in pretty little
speech presented Mrs. Johnson witt
a beautiful little pin, an emblem o
the society.
Although surprised and touched
she responded in her usual swee
manner which has become so dear t.
those who have labored with her il
this labor of love. and the love anC
good fellowship of everyone presen
went out to her with the regret tina
her health did not permit of her con
tinuing in this work she loves 81
well.
