THE SAME OLD SEASONS, They Are Just About as They War a .,' Couple of Centuries Ago. '; ;" - T(ie belief of many people that tbe canons are undergoing some kind of change has led Professor Ignaxlo GaiU to examine the weather records of toe entire eighteenth century. The Investigation of Professor Galll show fifty-one winters that lasted well into spring, thirty-one warm winters, thirteen unusually . -early winters, twelve mild winters followed by cold sprlugs. eleven mild winters followed by wild springs, eleven cold autumns, eight very warm springs, eight sum mers With frosts and Ave very warm autumns. There whs one luxtance of six consecutive warm seasons. . More than three-quarters of the periods of unusual weather occurred between the middle of autumn and the : end , of spring. Many times -during the eight eenth century tbe same apparent anom alles recurred at tbe same seasons in several successive years. ' In every case tbe seasons regtilDed their normal char acterlstlcs - There have always been perxons who Imagined that, tbe reasons were becom ing warmer or - colder than before. There is. however, simiir foundation for-such beliefs. Tbe world has in deed experienced many cold xiiintiiHrR and many warm winters, but Hiicb sea sons are not the- rule, hut the e&cup tlon.

She did not die for years. after that but she bad the comforting as surance that her grave was ready for her without any unReemly haste when ever she cared to occupy tt;;..:- The same American had the expe rience of sleeping in a room with a very large coffin when she was visiting a Chinese friend, and tbe next morning the old grandfather of the- family call ed ber attention to its excellences and explained that his son had made him a present of It "Isn't the wood, finer he asked admiringly. : "It cost a lot of nioni'y."

New York Post - Priceless Tearsi : Before General Luke Wright became governor general of the' Philippines be practiced law In Memphis. It so befell n one occasion that he was engaged to defend a man for murder, while his son was the state prosecutor. ' In his final argument while pleading" with the Jurors to-free, his client Gen eral Wright wept copiously. As he fin' Islied bis speech and sat down, wiping his still streaming eyes, tbe younger Wright rose to close the case for tbe commonwealth. "Gentlemen of the Jury," be began. "1 am overcome with admiration for my father. ' He baa powers which even I, bis son, did not suspect he pos sessed. You behold him shedding tears for bis client, who, I am Informed, has paid, him, only a small fee. Gentle men of tbe jury, I never before knew my father could weep in court for less than $5.000!" Saturday Eveulng Post Relax In the Water. Lew Sarett explains tbe difficulty which tbe nonswlmmer has In remain ing a 11 oat iu "The Knack of Learning to Swim." Iu Outing, as follows: "The nonswlmmer, fearing the wa ter, very naturally tenses his muscles as he struggles to keep his bead above the water until be Is as bard as a rock, and. like a rock, he sinks, whereas tbe swimmer, having no fear, relaxes his muscles and hence becomes buoyant Tbe explanation Is a simple physical one. Tense, taut muscles Increase the specific gravity of the body and make tt sluk In water; loose, relaxed muscles (given an ordluury supply of air In the luugs) will make the body float" " A Little In Ad vane.
