The twelve days after Christmas indi
cate the weather for the following year.
Each lay in order shows the weather
for one month.
Blow out a candle, and if the wick
continnues long to smoulder, look for
bad weather. If it gOM out quickly,
the weather will be fair.
When it begins to snow, notice the
size of the flakes. If they are veary
tine, the storm will be a long one; if
large, the storm will soon be over.
After the frogs begin to sing in the
Spring, if they are frozee in three
times, you may be sure that afterwards
you will have warm weather.
If it rains on the first dog-day, it will
rain on each of the other thirty-nine.
If on the other hand, the first dog-day
is dry, all the rest will be i^.
When you see a cloud in the sky
that grows larger, it is going to storm
When you see a cloud growing smaller
and melt away, it is going to be fair.
If the chickens oome out white it
rains, it is a sign that the stonn is tor
be a long one. If they stand around
under the shed, the . storm will be
short.
As the old woman said, “I never
knew it to begin in the momin* and
rain all day in my life. But I’ve known
it to bepn at noon »nd rain all day
lots of times.”
If the breastbones of the Thanks
giving chickens are lighter in color,
there will be a good deal of snow in the
Winter following. If the color is dark,
there will be little snow.
When a person kills a snake he does
well to consider what kind of weather
he would like. If he hangs the snake
up, it will rain; if he buries it, the
weather will be fair.
When the cattle lie down as Boon as
they are turned out to pasture in the
morning, it is because they feel a
rheumatic weariness in thw bones,
and you can look for a rain soon.
When a night passes and no dew falls,
it is a sign it' is going to rain. This
umen loses much of its mystery when
one remembers that dew has not fallen
because the mght was dcmded. _
If the melt of the hog killed in _ the
Fall is big at the front end, the WintCT
will be sharpest at the banning. If
the melt is bi^est at the rear, the
Winter will be coldest in the latter part.
When yon see the sun dramng water
at night, know that it will rain on the
morrow. The sun is said to be draw

In Winter when you see the wild
geese flying south, expect cold weather
They fly south because the ponds to
the north are frozen over. When the
geese are seen flying north, warm weath

If the sun sets in a cloud, it will nun

A Hurricane 1« BiaUnsor
Baltimore, July 20.—fierce tor
nado, characterize by a wind storm of
extraordinary veloaty, thunder, vivid
lightning and a heavy rain, suddenly
burst upon Baltimore at 1:80 p. m. to
day, coming from the southwest, with
the net result that eleven persons lost
their lives, hundreds of bouses were
unroofed, trees in the public parks and
streets were torn up by the roots, many
buildings damaged and several people
injured. The storm exhausted its fury
in less than 15 minutes. The damaj^
done in the business portion of the city
was comparitively slight, bdng confined
to the blowing down of signs and injur
ies to roofs. It was in the residence
portions of the city, along the river
front and in harbor where the wind
spent its violence. Of those who per
ished nine were drowned in the ha^r
from open boats, one was killed by a
falling tree and one by a live wire.
On the strength of the fact that tne
Louisville and Nashville Railway acc^ts
a (iharter under the present Constitution
of Kentucky, renouncing one granted
in the fifties, the Courier-Joun^ sug
gests that there is to be a combination
of &e Louisville and Nashville imd
Southern Railway, the latter absorlnng
the former, or each absorbing the other
on the “community of interest” plan.
Whether this will be done, or how it will
be done, depends, otir contemporary
guesses, upon the issue of the legal pro
ceedings for the dissolution of the
Northern Securities Compuy. If this
scheme for operating different amd
competing companies together is decid
ed to be valid, then, it is alleged, a
Southern Securities Company will be
formed to hold and manage the South
ern and the Louisville and Nashville.
State laws forbid their consolidation, as
State laws forbade the consolidation
the Northwestern railways. But a com
pany holding both, if Ukwful, will effect
all that is desired, which is the suppres
sion of wasteful and cut-throat compe
tition. It is not clear, however, how
the Louisville and Nashville’s accept
ing a modified charter will further Mr.
Morgan’s supposed scheme of a South
ern securities company. Something
has been said about the Southern get
ting control of its rival by buying its
stock, but common stock of the Louis
ville and Nashville at 150 is hardly
desirable asset, since the present net
earning can hardly be expected to con
tinue after the boom is over. Just now
the net earnings may justify such
jrice as $150 per share, but that figure
: s a poor basis for a permanent invest
ment. Jt will be recalled that the pro-
rasal of the Louisville and Nashville to
juild into a territory already served by
the Southern was soon followed by the
coup in Wall street that put the control
of the former into Mr. Morgan’s hands.
Peace at any price” appears to be the
motto of our present Napoleons of
Finance. Still, peace bought at the
rate of $150 a share seems to lack the
element of permanence.

A spedai from Asheville says: A
report comee from Black Mountain,
not altogether direct, but none the less
credited, to the effect that the health of
“Big Tom” Wilson is .ailing fast. Big
Tom, whose fame as a bear hunter has
long since broken through stete bounds,
proposes to act as g*iide for President
Booeevelt should he take part in the
prospective bear hunt this fall which
he has talked over interestedly with
Senator Pritohard. There are those who
firmly believe that the president really
means to make the trip, and to all such
persons the report concerning Big Tom’s
physical conation is a source of alarm.
They fear that in his enfeebled state he
will not be able to keep pace with the
strenuous strides of the chief executive.
The president’s expressed desire to
Bruin on the lofty Black has
given rise to a number of suggestionsi
some of wWch are perhaps more amus
ing than valuable. One view is that
the president should enter the Land of
the Sky between two days and imme
diately make a br^ak for tall timber;
otherwise he would be hunted down by
office seekers and not get a shot at any
sort of game without killing a score or
more of the class of gentry referred to.
Others scout this view, contending that
no one would be so lacking in a sense
of the eternal fitness of things as to
importune the president under such
circumstances. Those who hold this
opinion, and they are in a decided
majority, say the president should first
come to Asheville for a day’s rest.
President Palma, of Cuba, in an inter
view, says prospects of his country are
bright and that when Cuban sugar can
compete in European markets pros
perity will come.

Thesitoationin the Philif^nes so
far as it relates to the Frian can be
briefly exprassed.- Under the union
that existed between churoh and state,
nndw the I^Nuiish regime, that is be
tween tlie Spanish government and the
Catholio chnich, the church was really
■ess of the situation. The dif
ferent orders of Friars, Frandsoans,
Jesuits, whidi the Jesuits were md
to have been the best, indicating what
the other most have been, iriieie the
real rulers of the coontiy, the petty
magistrat«s everywhere, wi^ power of
life an^ deaUi, and thus the power over

There setans to Be mUe doubt even
from Catholic testimony that the Frian
were about as unsavtNy a lot of priests
aa ever cursed a peoide by their pre
sence and example.
Now the Filipino insurrection was
very largdy directed against these
Friais. They had wrested some of the
best lands of the FUipiim from them
and the ^ple were being reduced to
the position of hdidess tenants and
serfs. There was the feelii^ that these
lands, by fair means or fool shcakl be
restored to the peojde frmn whom they
were unfairiy and foully wrung. And
the hatred against the Friars for their
outrages oi filiiMno homes had grown
to an intensity of feeling that thought
of nothing but revenge. The Spai^
soldiers who fell into Aguinaldo’s hands
were kindly treated. The Friars were
killed or horribly mutilated, after a sort
of rude babaric effort to make the pun
ishment fit the crime. And then the
United States Government took posses
sion and the Friais flocked to 1
by the hundreds and thousands to be
under protection of a ^otestant power
rather than to be left to the vengeance
of their co-religionists. With the
estaUishment of order in the Islands it
found that the Friais can not go back
to their lands, fOr fear of the people
But by the TrMty of Paris their huids
are not to be confiscated, as the lilifwo
Government would have done immedi
ately, if it could have been established,
and their persons are to be protected,
far as sudi imtection is afforded to
any the inhabitants of the Islands.
Meanwhile it is acknowledged that their
very presence is adanger to ordw and a
enace to the established government.
And now the President of the United
States makes the proposition to buy
from these Frian at a fair valuation
their lands and to hold them as puUic
lands for the people from whom they
were undoubt^ly unlawfully extorted
at first. At tfatr same time, since the
United States has nothing to do with
the matten that have made these Frian
so unpopular that their lives are con
stantiy in danger, the Vatican as their
authoritative head is asked to recall
them with full liberty to send othen in
their {dace, if need be. The proposi
tion ii a teir one. M»« that »e Euro
pean country, and Brazil, for one
among South'American countries, have
cut the Goiuian knot by pas '
simple edict of banisbment of every
memerof the obnoxious order. But
the United States does not do business
that way. Its doctrine of the sqiara-
tion of church and state tolerates the
Jesuit or the Frandscan until they
become criminals in the eyes of the
dvil law.
But the President has the whip-hand,
nevertheless. If the off^ to the
Vatican is finally refused and the recall
the Frian is not ordered, the Frian
are still afraid to take possession of
their lands or to have any communica
tion with the tenants who now occupy
them. They can be condemned for Uie
puUic good, on the most obvious
grounds of necessity and the owners
Mid what they are deemed to be worth
jy the appraising board. And then
they can look out fHr themsdves. The
United States government is not g(^g
to send a bodyguard out with every
Friar who wants to |^t beyond the
police f^edion of a dty. It will try
to punish his murderer if his death
ensues. He is no lonj^ a dvil magis
trate and his ecdedastical p»tion does
not give him one whit more impor^ce
in the eyes of the law than the Filijwo
that he used to rob and plunder.
It it reported that the Pope it willing
enough for the lapds to be purchased
but is unwilling to order the recall of
the Frian from the Philippines. Of
course the propodtion bean on its face

And we throw out words of warning
