Young Minister'S Passion for self.sac.

The announcement of Miss Helen

charity workers Of New York to saw:

told me story.
There was young minister. the
story ran, who, being poor and shay.
ing nothing else to give, used to give
away his clothes.
The young minister's district con.
tanned many needy men, and he would
give them shoes and socks, shirts and
coats. gloves, overeoats and trousers.
Yes, time and again he would give

Bic TTORNEY'S
WILL ADMITTED
VOID BY HEIRS
General Counsel of Alton Rail-
road Draws Instrument Himself
Which Is PaIpabIy Faulty.

NEW YORK. June Robert Ma
Their. who died on October "a, 1911,
and was chairman Of the Westing-
house Electric and Manufacturing
Company and general counsel for the
Chicago and Alton Railroad, left an
estate of $564546. according to the
transfer tax report fled yesterday.
The report shows that Mr.. Mather,
who was one of the best known rail-
road attorneys in the country, drew
his own will, and that while it was
valid in Illinois, where he lived prior
to coming to New York, it was void
in this State because of conflict with
the statute limiting the extent to
which an estate may be alienated.
A suit to have the will set aside
was brought by the decedent's
nephew, George Mather. The heirs
agreed that the will was void, and
Joined in a petition to have II set
aside and the estate distributed as If
Mr. Mather had died intestate Mr..
Mathers heirs were his widow, Alice
c. Mather, three brothers, James H,
George and Edwin Mather. and a sis
ter, Mrs Alice Wood The will left
an income of 81 600 a year TO each
brother and 1000 to the sister, and
$1,000 to each Of two nephews. The
widow was left $4,000 a year.

Nearly everyone knows the old jim
gle:
Sky red in the morning
Is a sailors sure warning;
Sky red at night
Is the sailors delight.
Proverb From the Bible.
One Of the most interesting prov
cribs quoted Is the one which, ac-
cording to Matthew. Christ used In
answer to the Pharisees and Sad
duces when they asked that He should
show them a sign from Heaven:
He answered and said unto them,
when il is evening, ye say,
It will be fair weather: for
the sky Is red.
And in the morning, 1t will be foul
weather to-day: for the sky
is red and lowering.
'If the evening sky, not far up, but
near the Western horizon, is yellow
Rreenish. or some other short wave
length color, then all the greater Is
the chance for clear weather" says
DR.. Humphreys, for these colors in
dictate even less condensation and
therefore a dryer air than does red
Hence we can accept the following
lines from Shakespeare as the ex-
preston of a general truth:
The weary sun hath made sol-
And by the bright track of his
Gives token Of a sOodly day to-
morrow.
IF. however, the evening sky has
none of these cOlors. but is overcast
with a uniform gray, then we know
that numerous water droplets are
present, and that the dust particles,
in spite OF the heat they absorbed
from sunshine, have become loaded
with much moisture. Obviously thea
10 nroduce this effect the atmosphere
AT considerable elevations must be
practically saturated, a condition that
fayors rain and justifies the familiar
proverbs:
II the sun set in gray
The next will be rainy day.
10 the sun goes pale to bed
twill rain o-morrow, II is said.
Additional proverbs on sky colors
are as follows:
Evenino gray and morning red
Make the shepherd hang his head.
An evening gray and morning
Will send the shepherd wet to bed.
Evening red and morning gray
Two sure signs Of one fine DAY.
Evening red and morning gray
IsIo the traveller on his way;
Eveninu gray and morning red
Brino down rain upon his head.
Indians Had Proverbs.
There are many proverbs foretell-
- IAN and had weather by the ap-
~, nssrsnca OF solar and lunar halOs and
caronas. and DR.. Humphreys says !.
sAs these form only when there Is
much moisture in the air ana some some
condensation, the proverbs OF TINS
class are we'll founded.
The Zuni Indians have a provera
which says.
When the sun is. in his house It
will rain soon.
These proverbs. referring 70 me
,aI1 are cited as being reliable;
Far burr, near ram.
The bigger the ring, the nearer
the wet.
When the wheel is far the storm
When the wheel is mar the storm
is far.

The object Of the league was outlined
then; ITO discover the best stories

Clear moon,
Frost soon,
Moonlit nights have the heaviest
frosts.

Moonlit nights have the heaviest
frosts.
Stars Accurate Foreeasters.
Dr. Humphreys says the foregoing
are true enough, because on the clear
est night the cooling Of the earth's
surface by radiation is greatest, and
most likely to cause precipitation.
A proverb Of the stars, that fur
nishes a correct forecast. is the fol-
lowing:
When the stars begin to huddle,
The earth will soon become a
puddle,
There is also some justification for
such proverbs as the following, con-
corning the wind:
When the smoke goes West,
GUIDE weather is past;
When the smoke goes East,
GUIDE weather comes neist.
When the winds in the South,
The rains in its mouth.
The wind in the West
Suits everyone best.
As to the clouds, this proverb is
scientifically correct:
The higher the clouds, the finer
the weather.
when the air is rather damp and
the day is warm. great cumulus or
thunderhead clouds are apt to form,
as a result of strong convection, and
produce frequent local showers. Hence
the following proverb:
When clouds appear like rocks
and towers,
The earth's refreshed by frequent
showers.
The manner in which the atr1os-
phere conveys sound is also a guide
to the weather. There is good reason
TO accept the Iroverb which says:
Sound travelling far and wide
A stormy day will betide.
And this one. concerning clearness
of vision:
The farther the sight the nearer
the rain.
