We and the Weather

Whas great misfortune THIS;
the habit Of considering the WI
of think. g that We must con
the weather. 1t is largely due, +.
not, to clothes: No mention is mao
of rain in the Garden of Eden; but
we must not, therefore, contend that
rain was disagreeable and omitted;
we must recollect that Adam and
Eve did not need to copside! ain;
furthermore. in blessed ignorance,
they did not know that it was any.
thing to be considered.
To mind the rain no more than
the Nav sunshine, but to plunge
into it and Jet the drops pelt as they
will; to accept snow without a
thought of discomfort, but, rather,
to enjoy the ,hronging presence of
it; to pursue ones daily stint regard
less of whether the sky be dun or
blue,-this is state which we,
especially of the cities, long, long
have lost.
We regain it, some of US, IN the
wilderness camp, where we hunt, or
fish, if the day be dark or if the day
be bright. And where We find that
the dash of the soft rain on ones
face is not death, after all; that wet
ness and dryness are merely relative
terms.
All the centuries of fussing and
fuming with the weather have not
affected the weather one particle; 1t
still rains, and SHOWS, aad sleets,
and blows, just as dictated by cir
cumstauces. Therefore what's the
use? Are your your puny diatribes,
or mine, of any greater potency than
those of others gone before: Evi-
IDENTIFY not; accordingly, try the plar
of being friendly with the weather
of agreeing with it instead of
fighting lt--and, pom you my word,
presently it will be agreeing with
YOU. Edwin L Sabin in November

The Maiaeca Wildcats.

In the forests of Malacca and 9TH
er islands in the Indian ocean may
still be found the animal known as
a wildcat. The upper parts of it
are generally of clear yellow color,
with black spots. The lower parts
are white, with black spots also.
On the back the spots lengthen al
most into lines or rings, black on
yellow. The average length of the
animal, excluding the tail, is almost
two feet. The tail averages nine
inches. Its height when standing
erect is about twelve inches at the
shoulder and fifteen inches at the
hind quarters. Its temper is mild
and gentle. 1t plays almost like a
domestic cat or, rather, kitten,
chasing its tail and amusing itself
with anything that it can roll with
its paws.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by copsti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is intiamed
you have rumbling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and uules the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is. nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (eaused
by catarrb) that cannot be cured by

THOUGHT She'd Gone.

When Mr.. Daniels went down to
the club, says London Tit-Bits, he
left Mrs. Daniels with a lady friend
whose abilities as a scandal monger
and mischief maker are pre-emi-
nent. When he returned he just
poked his head into the drawing
room and said, with sigh of relief:
"That old cat gone, 1 suppose?"
For just an instant there was a
dreadful silence, for as he uttered
the last word he encountered the
stony glare of the lady who had been
in his mind. Then Mrs. Daniels
spoke quite calmly:
"The old cat?" she said. ooh,
yes, dear. I sent it to the cats
home in a basket first thing this
morning"

VS. COOPER KILLED In CHARLESTON.
Former Williamsburg Man Run Over
by Automobile and Fatally Injured.

Ii stepping of west bound belt
line car about Ills o'clock last
night, at Wentworth and Smith
streets, Mr. W S Cooper, timber
estimator, living at No 11s Beau-
fain street, was run over by an auto.
mobile driven by Or " L Speissegger,
a druggist of No 219 Rutledge
avenue, dying of his injuries at the
city hospital at about 1.3o O'Clock
this morning.
At the time the accident occurred
DR. Speissegger, according to the
statement made by HIM to the police,
had been following the trolley car
on the same track, and when the car
slowed down on the corner of Went
worth and Smith streets he also ap-
piled the brakes. Mr. Cooper, he
said, stepped off the trolley and maze
few steps toward Beaufaln street,
but for some reason suddenly turned
back. DR. Speissegger stated that
Mr. Cooper seemed to hear his shout
of warning and the footing of the
horn, but unfortunately also swerved
to the right in his endeavo. to get
out of the path of the automobile.
The auto knocked Mr. Cooper down
and passed over his body. 1t ap-
peared that the injuries inflicted by
the wheels were not serious, but that
the force with which his head struck
the brick pavement inflicted a severe
wound in the back of his head.
The accident was witnessed by a
!. number of people and the injured
man was at once taken to the city
hospital in a police ambulance. DR.
Speissegger was arrested by the po-
lice and later released on a deposit
by him Of $1O0, but as soon as the
announcement was made at the
hospital that MIR Cooper was dead
DR. Speissegger immediately returned
10 the police station and surrendered
himself to the police.-News and

Ouartermaster General Says
Ships Repaired Regularly

WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-Quarter-
master General Alshire. when shown
the San Francisco dispatch about the
repairs to, the transport Logan, stated
that the Logan was being overhauled
regularly in accordance with the policy
of the department to repair the trans
ports one at a time whenever 1T be-
came necessary and funds were avail
able 1t so happened. said Alshire,
that the Logan when examined last
year was found to require an extensive
overhauling. far beyond what could
be done with the funds available for
such work. Thereupon 1t was decided
to confine the work to the most i'm
portant features within the limit of
the funds on hand, which amounted to
about 100000. A contract was made
for that work, and when the present
years appropriation became available
another contract was made for addi-
tional necessary work to put the vessel
in proper condition for service, amount
ing to about $50, 900.
