The hurricane season is in the fall Of the
year, and after that no one need fear.
While everybody refers to the hurricane
Of last November, and evidences of its
destructiveness are on every hand it is
a fact that only a few people were killed.
The slimpsy manner in which the poorer

wonder how they ever survive any kind
Of an ambitious storm.
The men of st. Thomas are mostly
merchants and sea-faring men. Agri-
culture is neglected. In fact there is
but little evidence of any attempt at
cultivation. In St. Johns the bay tree
is cultivated and the bay rum industry
is practically the only industry Of the
two islands. St. Thomas men are ex-
cellent sailors. Here we find the ancient
art Of stretching canvas still in practice.
The men of St. Thomas can estimate the
amount of wind in single cloud down
to the last pocketful. They can trim
sail with the best OF them and they know
the world as only the deep sea sailor
knows it. Sailing ships and handling

Rule of the Romanoffs.

Many curious Instances are given In
the history Of the Romanoffs as to how
heirs apparent have been cheated Of
their rights. Catherine the Great ex.
ercised her right of bequeathing the
scepter to whom she thought fit. She
appointed her grandson, Alexander, In
stead of his father, her only son, Paul.
Paul, however, destroyed the document
before it could be put into execution.
Earlier still Peter the Great left the
scepter to Empress Catherine l., a. wo-
man of peasant birth, who had been a
chambermaid at an inn His grand
child, the sole offspring of his murder
ed son and rightful heir, was thus dis
inherited. Many other instances have
been cited Of depriving legitimate heirs
of their rights. Sometimes it was NAL
ice, expediency in other cases and very
often prejudice.
Gear Paul, for instance, was on the
eve of sending his two eldest sons to
Siberia to favor his third son, Nicho-
las. Paul was assassinated by the au-
thority of the two sons before he could
carry out his plan, and thus one Of the
most terrible chapters was added to
Russian imperial history.-Pearson's
Weekly.

The Giants are still unable to widen
the gap that separates them from the

at the McGraw machine while the
Phillies were doing the same to the
Cardinals and the averages therefore
are unchanged. The Reds dropped a
bit when the Dodgers forgot them

the heavy traffic. But do you know"
