days. then came the cold snap, which
rendered it impossible for the bees TO
secure their food from the flowers.

and other would-be weather prophets
gave 20 the public their prophecies
as 10 what the weather will be for
the ensuing season says James A.
Buchanan Of the Washington Wealth
er Bureau staff.
A majority OF these predictions are
based upon oldtirne superstitions and
have no foundation in fact. There is
vet TO be discovered a method by
which a coming season may be fore
told with accuracy. These self-styled
prophets play upon the credulity of
tho people. and also upon the fact
that there are a few signs which are
indicative Of early coming climatic
conditions. These signs. however, are
indicative only OF conditions of from
n few hours 20 two or three days at
the most.

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE

During the various hearings on the
Durham Sunday observance bill at the
last session Of the Legislature there
was great preponderance of senti-
ment among the various religious de-
nominations Of the State in favor of
the bill. but there was no stronger
argument produced than the following
by "a. Rev. A. c. A. Hall, Bishop Of
the Protestant Episcopal Diocese Of
Vermont:
The Old statutes Of the State Of
vermont t709o-70e9D, now happily
superseded. were not only unenforce-
abb, but unreasonable; they ought not

future) world our ordinary concerns
our duties and pleasures, our sorrows
and temptations.
This Is the manner of Sunday OBJ,
servance in the Christian Church;
1. From the first and always the
assembling Of Christians for common
worship has been the chief duty Of
Sunday.
2. For the sake Of extending TO all
the opportunity for this duty abstin-
ence from ordinary business, so far as
possible, came TO be enjoined. In this
way has been gained the provision for
rest, certainly never more needed than
in our own day, which lis for many a
time Of excessive activity and strain.
3. Innocent recreation. not incon-
sistent with the leading purpose Of the
day and its primary duties, has been
encouraged, rather than forbidden. er-
cept under Puritan influence.
With regard to these general rules
or principles some comments may be
added.
General attendance in the Lords
House on the Lords Day. and chiefly
for the Lords Service (the Sacrament
Of His Body and Blood, should be a
rallying Of the Christian forces in the
community. Apart from the benefits
we individually gain thereby, We ought
by regular attendance at Church on
Sunday TO be helping others by the
public acknowledgment Of our re-
ligion.
We ought TO be unselfish in making
arrangements, 50 that others as well
as ourselves, may have opportunity
for the due observance OF Sunday.
This will reduce 10 minimum Sunday
trading, and make us careful about
and travelling which in
volve unnecessary labor on the part Of
others.
Here we touch an exceedingly diff
cult and complicated question. The

PEOPLE ARE LIQUIDATTNG.

The Wall Street Journal produces figures which it proves that debts in the United States have been reduced to the extent of $5,000 within the last year In other words there has been a greater liquidation than before in the same length time. The result has been to increase the reserves in the country The cash reserves in the Federal Reserve Banks increased to the extent of 470,000,000 those of year ago, and those of the more than 30,000 banks of the nation have been increased in vastly greater amount
 This situation induces the New York financial paper conclude that there should be business boom the retailers and all other classes in business in the country elect to take their losses and prices strictly down a replacement basis rather than to continue in part at least to base them upon the inv estment basis. It believes when this readjustment shall have been completed there will be expansion of credits greater business industrial activity.
