clouds and the Weather.

When two weather prophets disa-
gree does 1t argue error or incompe-
tence In either? No. says the author
Of STORMS and Storm Signals in
Yachting. The data upon which they
base their predictions do not always
bear one Interpretation. Thus:
Because the clouds indicate weather
in different manner according to the
geographical location of the observer,
and also because they are in them
selves but byproducts Of the weather
and are not causes, weather predic-
lions from clouds at sea should be TAX
en- with plenty Of reservation Of judg-
ment. To say, for instance, that at a
fred sky at night sailors delight, is
very tuneful and possibly truthful
where knowledge is conspicuous by It's
absence, but red sky at night may
mean almost anything from surplus
Of moisture in the afr, meaning prob
ably rains, to a volcanic eruption 1000
miles away which has sent great
clouds Of dust into the air, causing the
red color by reflection and refraction
q the light rays.

The ShiiiaIah.

The shil1alah owes it's name to the
fact that the finest specimens thereof
used to be grown in the pleasant
groves of trees that formerly flourish
ed in the barony Of Shillalagh, in
County Wicklow. The best shillalah
must be a root sprung sapling, for one
taken from the branches Of a full
grown tree would lack the necessary
toughness. Being trimmed and
brought to hand" the young stick
undergoes preparatory discipline by
being placed in the chimney to season,
thus becoming early acclimatized to-
the hot work in store for it. This part
of the curriculum finished, it is rub
bed until completely saturated with
oil, after which it is securely wrapped
in a stout sheet Of brown paper and
buried in a convenient hotbed. At
this stage Of its development it is an
object of unceasing watchfulness on
the part Of its proprietor, who to fore
stall any detrimental warp in the OBJ
ject Of his care visits it daily, correct
ing any, youthful tendency to depart
from straight line and ultimately Sc
curing as straight a bit Of timber as
heart could desire.-New York Trib-
une.

The Eyes,

"Long, almond shaped eyes, with
thick and creamy lids covering half
the pupil and with a forehead that is
full above the brows-there you have
the eye Of the man Of genius" The
speakers own eyes answered that de-
scription strikingly, but he was far
from being man of genius, being, In
fact, magazine editor.
"Protruding eyes," he went on,
.tshow mental and bodily weakness.
Eyes close together denote cunning.
Those far apart denote liberality. Thin
lashes without any upward curve to
them and thin brows poorly marked
are signs Of melancholy and indeci-
sion. The eyes Of a voluptuary move
slowly under heavy lids. Those of
miser are small, deep sunken and blue,
set in a bony and perpendicular fore
head. The most beautiful eyes large,
brilliant and clear, CHANGING and flash
Ing with a rapid motion-the most
beautiful eyes denote elegance of taste,
gayety, some selfshness and great
interest in the opposite sex."-New
York Press.

Like Father Like Son.

Four-year-old Clyde was precocious
ngster-very laxative and. close
observer. He and his father were
strolling through the meadows one
morning when Clyde observed for the
first time some tadpoles in pond. He
waded in and cried out, ooh, father,
what are they?''
'Tadpoles, son." the father replied.
PLEASE, father, let's take them all
home with us, then come back and
find the mamma and papa, and we'll
have the whole family in our pond at
home"
The father explained how impossible
this would be, and as they walked on
few steps a large, ugly frog hoped
across their path. Clyde's father said:
Look, son. Perhaps there is the pa
pa.''
Clyde was very thoughtful. He look
ed at the frog, then at his father, then
at himself and exclaimed:
"Well, father, was there ever SO
much difference between me and your

Time TO ACT.
Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages Of
Kidney Illness. Profit BY Bemidji
Peoples Experiences.

Occasional attacks of backache,
irregular urinatioD, headaches and
dizzy spells are common early
symptoms of kidney disorders. It's
an error to neglect these ills. The
attacks may pass of for a time but
return with a greater intensity. IF
there are symptoms of dropsy-
puffy swellings below the eyes,
bloating of limbs. and ankles, or
any part of the body, don't delay a
minute. Begin taking Doan's Kid
ney Pills and keep up the treatment
until the kidneys are we'll, when
your old time health and vigor
will return. Cures in Bemidji prove
the effectiveness of this great kidney
remedy.
Mrs. Edward Jewett, living at
lip Park Ave, Bemidji, Nina,
says: am recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills as from personal ex-
perience. I know them to be
reliable remedy. I did not take
them as carefully as I might, but
still the results received were salts
factory. There was a dull aching
in the small of my back, and when
the attacks were at their height, I
felt weak and miserable. I finally
went to the Owl Drug Store and
procured a box of Doan's Kidney.
Pills. This remedy benefited me
right away, and I was we'll pleased
with the results received"

Fire Terms IN Jan.n.

Fires In Japan are SO common that
this destructive agency has established
itself as national institution, and a
whole vocabulary has grown up to ex-
press every shade of meaning in mat
ters fiery. The japanese language has
special terms for an incendiary fire, an
accidental fire, fires starting from ones
own house, fire caught from next
door, a fire which one shares with 9TH
ers, fire which is burning to an end,
the fame Of fire, anything in
stance, brazier, from which Gre
may arise; the side from which to at
tack a fire in order to extinguish It;
visit Of coincidence after fire.

Curious School Customs.

Mexican schoolmasters show their
appreciation of pupils efforts in a
curious manner. The diligent student
Is allowed to smoke cigar during the
lesson. When the whole class has Civ
en- satisfaction, permission is given for
a general smoke, and even the little
Mexicans are allowed to light ciga-
rette for the occasion. Needless to say,
the schoolmaster himself smokes a
cigar of a size and quality proportion
ate to his superior position. But the
scholars are not allowed to drink, this
privilege being accorded to the master
only. On his desk he always keeps a
bottle of liquor, which, when empty,
occasions much dispute among the
parents Of his scholars, as it is consid-
cred an honor to be able to fill the
schoolmaster's bottle.-London Stand
