The Weather Prophet.

Il always have been under the
impression that there ought to -
a society for depressing information
as to symptoms of disease" remarked
the phlegmatic man. land now I've
come to the conclusion that we need
another society, one that will prevent
people from getting to know too
much or little about the weather. l
am afflicted with a brother-in-law
who thinks he knows something
about the weather, and all summer
long my life and that of my wife
who takes him seriously-is made
miserable by his predictions that we
are going to have a thunderstorm
before night. He keeps us in the
house when in our ordinary ignor-
ance we would go out and enjoy our
rainless days; he drives us indoors
by knowing looks at thunder heads.
And on the one day recently when
he never spoke of the weather at all
we went on an excursion at his sug-
gestion and got soaked to the skin.
If any one will start that society
I'll be one of the charter members.

Unanswered Prayer.

An unanswered prayer is no proof

Having A Good Time.

A wholesale scorn of physical ills
is a good thing, according to the
philosophy of a boy in the State
School for Dependent Children, who
wrote his father thus:
Dear Papa: We children are
having good time here now. Mr..
Sager broke his leg and can't work.
We went on a picnic and it rained
and we all got wet. Many children
here are sick with the mumps. Mr..
Higgins fell off the wagon and broke
his rib, but he can work a little.

machine, and made black and blue
marks on us. Ernest cut his finger

Ethel and Sam.

cousins and the aunts of the young

The happy day arrives wherein the

Attending Strictly To Business.

The Leroy Reporter tells this story
about John E. Watrous, of Burling-

internal revenue: Travelling along a
country road Mr.. Watrous was at
tracted by frightful screams coming
from a little house not far from the
road. He ran to the house and found
that a. little boy had swallowed a
quarter, and his mother was frantic.
Mr.. Watrous caught the little fellow
by the heels, and, holding him up,
gave him a few shakes. whereupon
the coin dropped on the floor.
"Well, mister" said the grateful
mother, you certainly know how to
get it out. Are you a doctor?'

When Women Admired Whiskers.

For ages boards were the delight
of ancient beauties. The sight of
shaved chin excited sentiments of
horror and aversion. To obey the
injuctions of his bishops, Louis VII
of France cropped his hair la POM
padour and shaved off his luxuriant
whiskers. Eleanor Aquitane, his con-
sort, found him with this uncom-
mon appearance very ridiculous and
cry contc.N =. y. She revenged
herself by becoming something more
than coquette. The king obtained
a divorce. She then married the
Count of Anjou. who shortly after
ward assembled the English throne,
and gave him as her marriage dover
the rich provinces of Potion and
Guienne. And this was the origin
of those wars which for 800 years
ravaged France and which cost the
French nation 100000 men; all OF
which, probably, had never taken
place if Louis VII had not been SO
rash as to shave off his whiskers
by which he made himself so dis

Effects OF Lightning.

Prof. A. Herschel, in the Quarterly
Journal of the Royal Meteorological
Society for October last, describes
the extraordinary effects produced by
lightning in the midst of an open
moor in Northumberland. A hole
four or five feet in diameter was
made in the fiat, peaty ground, and
from this half a dozen burrows ex-
tended on all sides. Pieces of turf
were thrown in various directions,
one three feet in diameter and a
foot thick having fallen IS feet from
the hole. Investigation showed that
in addition to the effects visible on
the surface, small holes had been
bored in the earth radiating from

life I have told you of the glory
which comes with wealth, but I would
be false to your highest interests II
I did not hold up before you some Of
the awful perils which confront the
man who makes a great success In
business.
"Wha. shall it profit a man If he
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul?" No man can gain the whole
world, or millionth part Of the
world, bat If he gained the whole OF
it at the cost of his soul 1t would be a
calamitous bargain. The text means
simply that in the effort to gain
wealth many forfeit their own souls.
The temptation is to neglect the high.
or for the lower, to give UP the spir.
itual for the temporal, to give up the
unseen for the seen. How pftfful the
thought that men spend lifetime In
the vain effort to corral the world and
find themselves at last without soul.
What does it mean by losing ones
soul? The expression is not equtva'
lent to being condemned, though OF
course it leads to perdition. The soul
here spoken of by Jesus means the
faculty in man which apprehends God
and goodness Jesus says that the
man who pays too much attention to
money getting is apt to lose the fac.
ulty by which he apprehends God and
spiritual things. He loses the faculty
because he refuses to use it. His ear
Is dull to the voice of God. His eye
is clouded so that he cannot see the
beauty of God, and by and by through
process of deterioration death comes
and the faculty is lost. Oh, men, do
not lose your souls! Keep your ear
open to the voice of God. Keep your
heart attuned to the will of God; but
alas, alas! some before me have al.
most lost their souls. In seeking q
good thing they are giving up the
best thing.
Jesus said: at is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of q
needle than for rich man to enter
into the kingdom of Cod" and, How
hardly shall rich man enter the
kingdom of heaven" There are many
perils about the gaining Of wealth
and the using of it. We have all
seen the influence of wealth upon
character. Too often it makes the
humble man proud, the generous man
stingy, the charitable man suspicious.
and the honest man dishonest. Some
times the man who makes the money
escapes the perils, but succeeding gen.
erations are almost inevitably cursed
by the wealth which they inherited,

to escape from these perils, and

of Miss Rachel Gregg, who was
frankly called crazy by the summer
visitors.
Now, Mrs. Jennings" said one OF
the boarders, "do you really mean
that you've never known Miss Gregg
to do anything that you'd call crazy?"
'No, I haven't" said Mrs. Jen-
nings, with firm and unyielding ex-
preston about her prominent chin.
"Why, what do you think of her
sending that bag of eggs to the Cor

with her laundry work, and never
telling the stage-driver, and letting

GARB OF THE ENGLISH.

Coats and skirts that might be
labeled "tailor made" but offer con-
spicuous examples of the new mean
ing of the old term, have appeared In
London, worn by Frenchwomen. An
English tailor has been moved to say:
@The Frenchwoman is the wisest
woman in the world on the question
of dress. I hope many of our English
customers will study her and be wise
also. Her chief wisdom lies in the
fact that she never buys an ill-fitting
coat or skirt. She will pay the high
est price and, therefore, gets the best
cut. To describe exactly wherein lies
the Frenchwoman's great charm is
difficult. 1t may be her wonderful
intuitive knowledge of what to wear
and when to wear it; it may be the
way she insists on having her clothes
cut. 1 have been working for twenty
years to induce Englishwomen to
have their coats and bodices cut with
deep and sloping shoulder seams.
They are just beginning to recognize
that this makes all the difference be-
tween a smart and dowdy coat. -
