A Stormy Year. saxs pevoe=

Some people read, study sndSbelieve
in DeVOe's weather predictions, while
many consider him only ''guesscr. %
Here Is what he predicts for this new
year:
By the end OF next year, if every
thing IN the way Of weather that ia
predicted by Prof. Andy jackson De-
Voc comes true, the forces OF nature
will be worn to q FRAGILE. Prof De
Voc is one Of the numerous long range
forecaSters whose prediction are print
ed in the patent medicine almanaes.
"The year 1902" he says, ''will en-
ter with cold wave" Thus he starts
OF right at the beginning because the
the cold wave was here. This week,
he says, a great storm will form and
move sOutheastward, followed by snow
and . cold wave. Ten days later an
other blizzard will move southeastward
and the month will end cold and stormy
February is going to be worse even
than January according to Prof DeVoe.
The month, he says, will enter with a
cold wave. Storms will form on the
5th. 11th and 18th in the Missouri val
ley.
March Is coming in like lamb and
going out like a hon with q crouch.
There will be great storm ON the 5th
and an equinOctial storm of unusual
severity ON the Goth. April will be a
month Of extrenes. with hot and cold
waves alternating. the mouth ending
with cold wave. May is going to be
cold and stormy. Two great storms
will move over the Missouri valley, one
on the 9Th and one on the 18th.
June, July and August will be scorch-
ers, with great damage to corn for lack
Of rain. September will be stormy and

along in October, with q stormy out

Effects of Good Example.

The effect of one good example of
one state officer is making trouble for
lot Of others. A few years ago H.
l.. Pestana, assistant attorney general
had occasion in the line of his duty to
travel over q considerable part Of the
state. In putting in his bill Of expenses
he put 1t in for the exact amount paid
by him. There were no big Pullman
bills. If he paid twenty-five cents for
3 meal. or for a nights lodging he
charged twenty five cents instead Of
seventy-five cents or a dollar. 1t sur
prised the state auditor and he gave the
report to the newspapers. But he has
issued an order that hereafter he will
not allow more than seventy five cents
for Pullman meal and officers travel
ing must not be too extavagant. Mr.
Nation will gain some glory, but Mr..
Pestana is entitled to the credit Of this
reform. Pestana is out of Office and a
private citizen now, but he will prob
ably be in it in a couple of years as
district judge or congressman. Lucas

Give b. by Water.

A baby, like an adult, needs water
as regularly as it needs food. The
milk that it gets. though liquor.
does not satisfy its thirst 1t should
be given water at least three times
a day, and this water should be near.
ly, If not quite, free of organisms. The
water that comes from the average
city main or country spring is alive
with microscopic plants and animals
even when it seems clear and spark
ling. These minute organisms. as
rule. are harmless to adults, but IN
tie delicate stomach of the baby they
are apt to cause disturbances. and so
they must be eliminated. The best
way to get rid of them is to allow
the water to boil twenty minutes.
After that, let it cool and store it in
clean, well-corked bottles which have
been previously immersed in boiling
water for five minutes. Glass stop.
pcrs are better than corks.
Boiled water is tasteless and insipid
because of the absence of air-bubbles,
but the baby seldom notices it. 1t
is best drunk out of a thoroughly
clean nursing bottle. Offer water TO
the infant every four hours, and let it
drink as much as it wants. The sup.
ply for each day should be boiled in
tie morning. Under no circum.
stances should water be kept more
than a day.
