SUGGESTION As TO HOW TO
FORETELL FINE WEATHER
(st. Nicholas)

II you want fine weather, look for
fine weather signs. Here are some of
the most reliable, for they are based
upon scientific facts:
When the sun sets in sea OF glory,
that is, when the sunset sky is red,
At night, when the moon is clear
and shows clean edges, with no halo
or ring of mist surrounding it, there
is little danger of rain.
When the wind blows steadily from
the west, the weather will continue
fair. as very rarely rains in our East
ern States with the wind in the West.
Watch the smoke from the chimney
or from your camp-flre---it is a good
barometer. II the smoke rises high
it means clear weather. The smoke
will also show you from which direc-
ton the wind ia blowing; so will a
flag on an upright flagstaff
A gray early morning, not a heavy
clody one, promises fair day.
A heavy dew at night is seldom fol.
lowed by rain the next day. Think OF
it this way and you will remember
wet feet, dry head.
If there are no clouds az the western
horizon, you need not worry about
others.
Animals are said often to show by
their actions what the weather will
be, and there is reason in this. Some
Of them certainly have a knowledge
Of coming storms. We are told that
spiders are especially sensitive to
weather changes, and, when they
make new webs, the weather will be
fart; If they continue spinning during
shower it will soon clear off.

APPLES AND OPTIMISM

There are many persons of excel
lent judgment who will tell you that
tho apple In its perfection is the finest
fruit that nature provides. Not only is
1t agreeable to the palate, but certain
medicinal virtues have been attributed
TO 1t by numerous admirers. 1t is not
a matter enthusiastic apple lover is
devoting his time to the formation of
apple clubs. He holds that apple and
optimisms are almost synonymous
terms and makes many astonishing
claims regarding the effects of the
fruit. 1t will cure dyspepsia and shat
tered nerves and the worst cases Of
pessimism. And the only condition i'm
posed upon the members OF the APP
pie Club of America is that each MEM
Der must eat at least one fresh, ripe
apple every day and try to induce 9TH
ers to follow his example. Just at
present the apple apostle is in Boston
spreading his peculiar cult and re-
cruiting his Orchards" AS an evil
dence of his thorough earnestness in
the work 1t Is stated that he not only
deyotes all his time to it, but pays the
cntre expense as we'll And he is
uui.r confident that as the Jesuit of
his lahors the ranks OF these who will
be won to the apple creed should be
numbered by the hundreds and thous-
ands.
or all the peculiar beliefs that are
desiLncd u engage the attention OF
rankind none is less harmfC: tnau
this II the Apple Club. The busy
American fails TO appreciate the
PLEASURE as well as benefits that a lik-
ing for fruit will bring him. We are
rot the fruit loving people that our
forefathers were, and if the promoter
Cf the new cult can renew this an
,ient liking his efforts are deserving
# earnest encouragement.

a drink Of whiskey and a plug of to-
bacoo, but she can pay eight per cent
interest on twenty-five dollars in a

corn crib, knocked of the porch with
the broom, and chased out of the gar
den by a worthless pup. Just take
that sort Of an old-fashioned hen, ana
let's sec: She lays at least twenty
five eggs on a stretch, and then goes

Their dozen pays her keep while she

she is scratching for them after they
are hatched and before being weaned.
That sort of hen generally raises
about eight Of n brood, that sell for
two dollars. But we must knock of

awhile, and then repeats her perform

lar to the credit Of our hen. Well, its
now midsummer and she loafs awhile,
and then she takes another laying
spell and lays another quarter of u
hundred of eggs and then sets again
and brings on a fall brood that sells
as before and we credit her with an
other 81 of the produce Of another
batch of eight chickens, which makes
three dollars to her credit over and
above all expenses. Then she lays a
little more and sheds her feathers,
and knocks about and scratches for a

SOUTH AMERICA IN 5000 b. C.

The greater the number of the sue
oeeding phases Of civilization the more
even must be the average length Of
each and thus resembles the general
length OF human periods. 1t is to be
seen that the two central European
periods. those OF Hallstadt and Of La
Tene. together embrace about a thou
sand years. an average Of 800 for each.
The cultured periods Of Egypt may be
even longer.
The development of Peruvian civili-
zation, accepting on the average five
successive periods, would result in a
stratihcatlon of cultures representing
between 1000 and 5000 years. About
the year 1000 b. c., at the time when
Solomon built his temple. the early
Americans in Peru reared their
mighty structures to the glory OF a
creator god Civilization In America
would beyond all doubt have worked
itself up TO a high plane at some time
and might have accomplished alone a
peculiar but certainly brilliant de-
yelopment without the Intervention OF
European civilization. -

"MOvIES SUPERIOR TO STAGE II
MANY WAYS" SAYS TREE

In tho June woman's Home Com
panion Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree,
the great actor and manager, COM
ments on the superiority OF the NOV
les in certain ways to that Of the regu-
lar stage.
THE purpose Of art is to portray hui
man emotions. The motion picture has
possibilities in many ways greater
than those Of the stage. The stage
is limited to Interpretation by means
Of the voice. Here is a new interpre-
tation of moods and motives by means
of facial expression. My work in
Macbeth required much greater ex-
pendlture of emotional force than is
necessary for a single performance on
the stage.
THE stage has It's limitations in
other ways. What reader Of Mac
beth has not longed to be thrilled at
the sight of Birnam Wood come to
DuuSiudilt6 All Nut bOIBtOuo pdBtdh-
try scope upon the screen. The coro-
nation of Macbeth, only suggested in
the play, is made a big scene in the
film.
There has been tremendous ad-
vance made in the motion picture. For
illustration, eighteen years ago pic
lures we're made of my performance
of Henry VII and King John They
were merely Photographic transcripts
Of the stage production, entirely with
out meaning except to those who we're
perfectly familiar with the play and
could recall the lines appropriate to
the action.
"The production OF Macbeth that
has Just been made for the film repre-
sents the highest form of pantomimic
art. and is perfectly ineligible to ev-
cry spectator, whether he has ever
read the greatest enjoyment will ma
turally be for the one who knows his

QUOTATIONS. POPULARITY Al.
TRIBUTED TO THE GOOD BOON

There are a number of sentences
not in the Bible which everybody
thinks are there" said a clergyman.
THE chief OF these sentences is, He
tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.
You would search the Bible pretty
thoroughly before you would find that
sentence in II. Where you would find
It would be in Sterne's Sentimental
Journey
"Sterne gets a good deal Of praise
for the origination OF this sentence,
but It was originated, as a matter Of
fact, before he was born. In a collec-
ton of French proverbs published in
1894 we find, 'Dieu mesure lie vent
d la brebis todue.' That convicts
Sterne of plagiarism.
"'In the midst OF life we arc in
death Everybody thinks that is in
the Bible. 1t isn't, though. 1t is in
the burial service.
THAT he who runs may read This
is another sentence supposed, wrong
ly, to be Biblical. II is not Biblical,
though the Bible has something very
like it-namely, That he may run that
readeth'
"'Prone to sin as the sparks fly up
ward The Bible nowhere contains
those words.
1.-The nation shall be born in a
day The nearest thing to that in the
Good Book Is, Shall nation be born
at once?"
