FoRETELL COMING OF RAIN
Animal Weather Prophets Are Among
the Most Reliable of Which There

Cats fur is full of electricity, and
before thunderstorm cat is always
extremely lively and playful, probably
on account of its electrical condition.
Before rain is expected, you will see a
cat assiduously washing its face.
Donkeys will bray loudly and con-
tinuously at the approach Of storm
If cows lie down in the early morn
ing instead of feeding, or huddle to-
gether with their tails to windward,
then there is rain about.
Like cats, the approach of thun-
derstorm makes COWS extremely
frisky. They run up and down the
field and butt imaginary obstacles at
such times.
Sheep turn their heads to the wind
when the day is to be fine. But II

too, they show an unusual liveliness
at the approach of storm. Even the
sedate pig is watched by country
weather prophets, for lit is always
uneasy when rain is coming.
Most birds are restless when a
change is expected. Rain is indicated
by guineafowls and peacocks squall-
ing, by parrots whistling. and by
pigeons returning home unusually
early.

TWO HIGH FAMILIES UNITED
Native Rulers of Indian States Sub
Ieet to British Rule Become Al
lied by Marriage.

Two of the most powerful native
ruling families of British India were
united when Princess Indira, only
daughter of the reigning maharajah
Goekwar of Baroda, was married in
London to Prince Jitendra, son of the
maharajah Of Cooch-Behar, after a ro-
mantle courtship.
The initial ceremony, which took
place in the strictest privacy, was
performed at the hotel where the
young bride had been staying,
and was accompanied by the
customary Hindu rites. Prior to the
marriage Princess Indira had been re-
ceived in to the Brahamist faith, the
creed OF the bridegroom. Subsequent
ly the forms of civil marriage were
gone through at a registry office.
Intense interest had been aroused
in the attachment Of the couple,
whose wedding had first been fixed to
take place in India May 5, but was
suddenly called off. Immediately al
terward the bride and her parents
sailed from Bombay for England, and
were followed by Prince Pitendra.
1t is understood that the gaekwar
finally yielded to the opportunities of
his daughter and consented to the
marriage, at which, however, he was
not present.
The bridegroom created sensation
by appearing at the hotel in his mag
nificent Indian robes CT white silk.
heavily embroidered with gold.
The brides father and brother,
Shrmial Jalsingrao. are both well
known In the United States, where
the latter studied at Harvard. Her
mother, the maharani, is a woman of
advanced Ideas and is the author OF
a book on the position of women In
India.

ROYAL Tattooinu.

King George of England is tattooed.
When he was duke of York he had
some elaborate Japanese designs
pricked on his arms and chest and
personally he used to take great
pride in the excellence of these skin

tattooing, and 1t is because of her

When Water Catches Fire.

Some years ago. vessels coasting through the Gulf of Mexico reported a huge fire burning on the surface of the sea, some distance from the shore. The flames were estimated to extend over space of ten square miles, but, as a near approach was impossible, none could say whether all this surface was on fire or only portions of 1t, The gen. eral theory was that oil from spring in the sea. bed had risen to the surface, where it had been accidentally ignited, perhaps by some ship subsequently, lost ill the flames.
 A similar sight of fire issuing from water is sometimes witnessed on the surfaces of running stream that are charged with currents of petroleum. A lighted match thrown upon the water will ignite the gas escaping from the petroleum, and little spire of flame goes spinning down the stream till quenchud by d. gust of wind, or by increased agitation of the surface-water.

GEORGE p. STRONG.

The death of MT. George, P. Strong was not entirely unexpected. though the news of his passing away was surprise to his many friends who were not aware shat his enfeebled condition had taken a sudden turn for the worse. Since his first serious attack. more than year ago, he had failed perceptibly and stead lily in physical and mental health, and he himself realized, as did his friends, that he was declining steadily and surely toward the end. Yet ill the face of the inevitable he maintained the same cheerful, optimistic bearing that had characterized him all duEng his long and useful life. He never lost his inter- est in the welfare of the community. Me once remarked to the present writer:
 sI'd rather have it said of me, when I sm gone, He did what he could for the advancement of the town than He was san obstructionist in the way of the towns advancement, and although he meant we'll enough, he can easily be spared.'"
 MT. Strong was held in the highest esteem by all classes, and is sincerely mourned by the whole community.

The Elixir Of Life.

The man who would keep young must avoid prejudice as a pestilence.
 If the extraordinary man is the ex- ceptional individual who continues to grow after he is forty. it is because he keeps his mind open to new impressions. It is said that the ordinary run of people never achieve greatness because they cease to grow at or before middle life. Observation of people who are swayed by prejudice shows them to be so many in mum Der as to account for the compara. lively few who do big things.
 As a matter of fact. it is almost self evident. 1t takes big man to admit that he has been wrong. The greatest men and women in she world are those who are broad minded enough to give up old notions when they find better ones.
 The fountain of youth may be found in ones own willingness to be shown that the other fellow may be right.

of that section to get together on suit able name, to submit to the railroads etymological department or bureau of nomenclature. Among the names sug eested is "Dunning." which seems to be approved by more persons than any other name, as properly calculated to perpetuate the memory of distinguish ed family which has been prominent in East Canaan for generations.
 The name "Furnaceville" has been suggested, which, while it is significant of the chief local industry, is too sug gestiye of smoke and ciuders to suit the more esthetic.
 The railroad poet has settled the three Rents problem by remaining North Kent "Flanders." by which title an adjoining district has long been known. In the case of South Kent, however, he has dis regarded local tradition and given his muse free rein. The result is that South Kent is now "Lily Lake," The familiar name by which that station had long been known was "Pig-tail," abbreviated from the original designation, "Pig-t Pork Barrel" so named because the natives, for miles around, subsisted on fish caught ill its placid waters. after their winter supply of pork had become exhausted. It must be admitted, how eyer. by the most cynical, that Lilly Lake" has more euphonious sound, even in the month of the linguistic brakeman, than Pig tail Pork Barrel, !" and it certainly looks better on the time table.
