DRY WEATHER FOR FORTY DAYS This is St; Swlthln'fl Oar Ilow the I.ep eiil Runneth. This is St. Swithin's Day, and, if the old superstition is to be believed, the absence of rain means. that it will' be dry for the next' forty days. Had it rained there would have been' a series of showers for forty Mays.

Swithin was not only Bishop of Winchester, but tutor, as well, of the great King Alfred. As a mark of honor, the monks, when he died, naturally wished to bury lum in the chan cel of the big minster, but the Bishop, who had ideas of his own oni that point, gave positive directions to place him under the open vault of heaven, for he was a great lover of nature. The monks, how ever, made up their minds to have their own way about it, and prepared to put the body, after a pompous funeral, in the minster. As the good saint was a determined character he saw no way out of the affair but to break up the funeral with a heavy rain, so the legend goes. So, on pageant, he managed to have the windows ot heaven opened, and it camel down so hard that the bishops and other great ecclecias tics could not think of wetting their rich clerical robes, and a postponement was ordered.

But, to make his victory sure, the resolute saint kept om with the rain for forty days, till that part of England began to look around for Noah and his ark. At the end of that time the monks made an unconditional surrender, and announced that St. Swithin's body would be interred in the open church yard. This arrangement entirely satisfied the victorious saint, and the rain was at once turned off. On the day of the funeral the sun resumed business at the old stand and there wasn't a shower to spot the robes of the churchmen.

This action may be in the shape of a refusal to pay the State's per capita tax until the next sssicn of the national body makes a more equitable basis of representation. It will be seen what a blow this will be to the National Council, when it is stated that Pennsylvania, has at least half of the total membership of the order, and contributes about 30,000 of the $54,000 annually paid into the National Council treasury.

There is a glee club of thirty seven M5ces, a banjo club of fourteen, a mandolin club of nineteen, and a violin club of seven. All have attained a high degree of efficiency and have spread the musical reputation of the institution far and wide.

About one hundred and fifty boys are in attendance at this school and there are few who cannot either sing, play the piano or one of the stringed instruments and do it creditably. The president, Dr. William Mann Irvine, is a man full of experience yi school work, and is by no means unacquainted with the musical side of it, having been a member of a quartette at Philips Exeter Academy, a member of the Princeton University Glee Club, and four years leader of the Glee Club at Franklin and Marshall Colleie. The Mercersburg Clubs derive much benefit from this experience. The management have been fortunate in securing the services of Prof.

Miss Arria E. Wheeler, the instructor of the Violin Club, by her painstaking methods, has brought much credit to herself, which is shown by the high standard of efficiency to which the club members have attained.

THEY WATCH HER EAT. And Thna Decide Whether She Will Make a Good Wife. Of all the strange customs of foreign nations those that strike us to be most peculiar are the marriage customs of the Russian peasants. It is the aim of every young peasant to acquire for himself a wife that will be a suitable aid both in the field and in the kitchen, and he leaves the choice to his parents.

The beauty of the young lady and her taste of dress and furniture are little considered, but instead the dispatch with, which she can perform her daily duties, and in the following peculiar way her ability in that line is obtained: The parents of the young man decide that a certain young lady would make a suitable mate for him. They say nothing about the matter to any one, but on some evening they will drop around unexpectedly to the prospective bride's home and will stay for supper. During the meal they will keep a close watch on the young lady. If she eats fast, she will perform her work speedily; if she goes neatly and cleanly about her plate, she will perform her work neatly and cleanly; if she does not talk much, she will work and not talk and prove a faithful and obedient wife to her husband; if she prefers rye bread to white, she will be satisfied with her lot; if she does not gaze and stare at the visitors, she will be a wife that will not continually pry into her husband's business, and if she immediately proceeds to clean up the dishes after the meal she will bring prosperity to her husband and will be economical with his money. Thus the fate of the young couple is decided.

Should she prove satisfactory to the young man's parents by the above mentioned actions the parents stay after supper and close the bargain with the young lady's parents over a bottle ot good vodka. A most peculiar thing about the marriage ceremony is the fact that when the couple enter the church both groom ar bride make a dash for the platform, on which is the pulpit. It is believed that the one whose foot touches the platform first will live the longer and that the children will take after that one in size, health and beauty. The festivities last three days, during which ull friends and relatives celebrate a holiday. The bride is adorned in a bandana of the brightest hue and with ribbons of all colors and The groom has a new fur hat and a skin overcoat tied with a belt of brightest red.

The marriages generally take place in the fall, after the harvest has been gathered. Cincinnati Enquirer. AN EARTHQUAKE. The Senaatlon It Produce and. the Terror It Inspires.

We have had an earthquake, and I have never had a sensation like it, either physically, mentally or spiritually. I was up here writing in my room, which opens with French doors on to a large stone balcony overlooking the court in which the fountain is. For some time there was an increasing trembling, which I at first thought was the moving of furniture, though it seemed strange that it should shake a heavy stone building, but when I began to feel dizzy, I said to myself, "Earthquake," and 1 then went out on to the balcony, and sure enough the whole building was visibly swaying and the large hanging lamps swinging like censers. There was no noise, which made it all the more weird. I ran down stairs and found every one hurrying into the street (it was in the afternoon), and in the wide street which opens into the Alameda (public jrardens) at this point was a very impressive scene.

All traffic had stopped still, and there were hundreds of people in little groups on their knees praying, some aloud, some to themselves, the men with their hats off. Those who were not kneeling were holding on to one another, as no one could stand steady. The lamp posts were swinging like trees in a wind. Some people were calm, others in abject terror. I can't Fay that I was not afraid at all, though as soon as I was out of the building I couldn't see the chance of any danger.

The earth was not any longer trembling or shaking, but swinging, which was most demoralizing. I felt somewhat as though a solemn and dignified nightmare had come true, or as though we had suddenly been transferred to somewhere near the Presence where the working of nature was going on. It was very strange indeed. No one was hurt in our part of the town, and I can see now how very little danger there really was, for there was plenty of time to get into the open. Spectator.

It will interest American editors to know that everything affecting Russia or the Czar's family appearing in the prominent American newspapers finds its way to the Czar's desk and is read by him.

His familiarity with American affairs and Americans of note is remarkable. The Czar recently to an American girl spoke warmly of Admiral Dewey, discussing his career with great interest, and saying: "His victory at Manila was a splendid achievement." The Czar is not so enthusiastic concerning our land operations in the Philippines. He seemed to think we had our hands full there. SPANIARDS NO LONGER LOVE US. A private letter from Madrid says the feeling there against Americans is growing very bitter on account of the Philip pines'prisoners and the position of Americans at Madrid is very unpleasant.

The uncertainty as to their fate and sufferings is torturing their relatives and my whole unhappy country." ONLY ORDINARY COURTESIES TO DEWEY. According to information obtained from British naval sources, Admiral Dewey's reception at the various British stations was no more cordial and in no way different from that accorded to admirals of other fleets.

Admiral Dewey's visit to the Island of Malta is likely to be very quiet. The Governor is in deep mourning owing to tne death, ot his wife, the British fleet, left Malta last Sunday on its summer cruise, and half the officers of the garrison and English residents are absent, the lormer on iurlough and the latter in Great Britain or traveling on the Continent. 9 CROKER FAILED AS A KNOCRER.

LOBBY LASHES ENGLISH OARSMAN. In regard to Henley, Mr. Henry La bouchere's Truth says: "There vrafi only one unpelasant incident and that a very nasty one, the Ashe fouled by Thompson incident. It was purely accidental.

Thompson, who rowed that day both for the Grand and Stewards, waited for Ashe to get clear away and then went in pursuit and won a grand race on the post by a foot. Then the Thames man claimed he was beaten on a foul. Had an American sculler been guilty of such unsportsmanlike conduct there would have been a howl of indignation. Such an incident is a reminder that we are not without spot or blemish and that the amateur rowing association definition of amateur does not insure sportsmanship. I should not be surprised if Ashe never rowed under the Thames Rowing Club colors." WOK.SK THAN CiOAT Internal Injnretl Spin and Knockde Ont Teeth.

A breakage of the large blow engine at the Bessemer put the rail mak ing department on light tonnage, the small engine not being sudicient to allow full capacity of the mill.

By the firing of several more furnaces at the open hearth department, which' had been off for re pairs, greater facilities for open hearth steel will be offered. The slabbing de partment is doing its full share, and the rail mill, owing to a shortage in material, was on light rails. The other departments are on full time. At the bridge and con struction department the work on the first shipment of the structural work for the India viaduct is going along nicely and by the first week of next month one shipload consignment will be made. Some of the tools and erecting machinery were shipped this week.

The arrival of new material is satisfactory and up to the requirements, but the shipping department is handicapped by a scarcity of cars. There are now over 6,500 names on the pay rolls. The improvements throughout the plant are progressing as rapidly as the heavy work will permit. Death ofa Child. The five month old child of Mr.

and Mrs. Anthony McGeehan, 269 Myer street, died this morning. The funeral will be held at 2 P. M. on Monday.
