The Weather Proverb. .

Another successful effort Of the Bureau
OF Fisheries is to locate thee host Of
the fresh-water mussel, the host" being
the scientific name for the fish to which
the mussel, while in q larvae state. at
taches itself until the shell begins TO
develop. Much capital is tied up In max
ing buttons from the shells of fresh-water
mussels and with the discovery Of the
host" the ordinary skijack, which IL
variety OF the herring family, these hsh
may be confined and the mussel propa-
gated.
The Government Weather Bureau has
formed a close alliance with the good
old fashioned weather proverb, which
everyone thought extinct
In a bulletin Just issued, the Weather
Bureau officials say the old-fashioned
proverb was founded on nationality,
and was an excellent weather prophet.
The alliance between the bureau and the
proverb is brought about by the fact that
the Weather Bureau cannot predict the
weather for strictly local spots in all
parts Of the United States. and while IL
may predict a heavy rainfall for the
State of Iowa, IL cannot say with ac-
curacy whether there will be rain in
What Cheer, Iowa, today or tomorrow.
Therefore the weather provero-the
lproverb of the days OF Stephen A. Doug
las-has been revived and a number OF
the best proverbs officially sanctioned.
Every one will remember these old
proverbs, all officially orthodox. and
working for the government at the
present time:
"A year of snow, a year Of plenty.
/ or January warm, the Lord have
mercy" Still better. the rhyme:
Evening srey and morning red
Makes the sherherd hang his bead;
Evening red and morning grey
Two sure signs Of hne day.
Those who have a working knowledge
of old-fashioned proverbs will probably
| rejoice TO know that this one has also
been brought into the fold:
When the stars begin to huddle
The earth will become . puddle

The school-city.

School children in Alaska make their
own laws since the bureau of Educas
tion adopted the school-city idea in
teaching the native children how TO be
good American citizens, as well as to
read and write.
Commissioner Claxton, of the bureau.
recently instituted this idea in Alaska,
and the bureau received a report the
other day which gives few samples
Of some Of the laws the Alaskan kids
laid down for themselves. They elect
a mayor. president. and Judge in each
school. and the laws are enforced. too.
several of the school ordinances fol.
low:
mo citizen shall chew gum In
school.
"No citizen shall go upon the top of
the house.
mo citizen shall touch the program
or the roll of honor blackboard work.
with their shirts.
mo citizen shall make much noise
with the door.
mo citizen shall eat ice or snow at
the time of school.
NO citizen shall 90 outdoors without
his atigi..
NO citizen shall speak Eskimo in
\ the schoolroom.
(Signed) Emma Atunganna. Judge.
Robert Il<kok. Mayor.
Elihu Elutoluk, President"
The school-city idea Is much like the
George Junior Republic system In the
United States, and has been introduced
with marked success in the Indian and
| Cuban schools.
A system of currency Is also In use
and violations OF the foregoing laws
are punishable by fines. payable In the
school currency. These fines range
from to 10 cents. Each oficer Of the
school-city is paid a salary in the
school currency. and all supplies are
bought with this medium Of exchange.

OF SEX FOUND BY
NATURALIST THROUGH
STUDY OF THE SPIDER

to make you very i'll and weak said
the naturalist.
$50 you did, said the king.
"And then, when you were i'll and
weak, the natural instinct Of your body
would be to do the best 1t could for the
continuance of the race before you
died.
"'The male spider does this when he
lets his wife eat him, because the in.
dividual counts for little. The units OF
which q race is made up are families,
and the foundation Of each family II a
pair, male and female. Each individual
fulfils his OF her purpose in life BY COM
plotting q fruitful pair. Therefore the
bodily instinct Of each male IL to pro-
duce females. and that Of the female 10
to produce males; so that II either
should happen to lose his or her mate
there would be another younger mate
ready or growing up-for these bodily
instincts OF ours are Independent of
our minds. and go back to times long
before U ancestors were civilized
enought to understand tables Of con-
sanguinity.
"'But, when the natural bodily in
stinct ID to complete its pair by pro-
ducing females, n that Of the female
to produce males, which must prevail
when they are united?
This, again, is a matter OF instinct,
decided. al always. by nature for tho
good OF the race without regard to the
feelings Of individuals. And there can
he no doubt on which side the good OF
the race stands. uring the immense
period Of time which evolution has oc-
cupied it 10, I think, certain that every
family Of every race OF bi-sexual
creatures must have been saved more
than onc from extinction by the widow
being left with a son or the widower
with a daughter. so that they were able
to carry on the family. This, Of course
was long before human religions took
notice Of such unions. but It was the
result OF the simple provision OF. nature
that the weaker sex should give way
and the stronger prevail. This, Of
course, ii q very natural thing-as
natural as the desire of male or female
to complete its pair by producing the
| other sex-but its result IL that, as q
general rule. the child ~reproduces the
sex Of the parent which had the worst
] prospects Of life at the time of union. -
