UN DEAD ON JRBIGBT CAR The dead body of a man wa« fonnd lying on the top of a house cat. Wed nesday morning* when an early north bound Philadelphia & Reading freight train arrived at Oatawissa. The head and face of the unfortunate man being oovered with blood, presented a grue ■ome sight. Members of the orew having oharge of the train recognized the dead man as John Herring, of Reading. His brother, Newton Herring and another man, also of Reading, were riding in the caboose of the same train. Under taker Bernlnger was given charge of the remains, and the matter plaoed in tiie hands of the Ooroner, Dr. B. F. Sharpless, for the purpose of au in vestigation. It developed that the de ceased,his brother and the other man, who proved to be their oonsin, were on their way to this city when death overtook the former. Strange to say, after the disoovery of the body of the dead relative, Newton Herring and his oonsio continued their journey on the same train to this oity, where it is said, they have relatives. On learning that faot the Oorouer immediately sent a message to this place requesting the two men to return to Oatawissa, so he could examine them as witnesses. They complied with the request, leaving here on the 11:23 P. &R. train. Upon reaohing Oatawissa they at onoe proceeded to the office of Dr. Sharpless, where tbey explained their strange conduot by saying that they were greatly affected at what had ooourred and were hardly responsible for their aotions. They oonßrmed the story of the rail road men, relative to the dead man's name and plaoe of residence. He had been employed in the Tube Works at Reading. His age was between 30 and 85 years, and he is survived by a wife and one ohild. The three m«n were enroute to this oity with the hope of obtaining employment in the Reading Iron Works. The indications are that Herring met his death by being straok by the roof of the Shumantown tunnel, about 5 miles from Mainville, while standing on the roof of the oar unoonsoions in the darkness of his near approach to the tunnel. One side of his head was badly lace rated and his sknll fractured, the lat ter injuiy having oaused death. The remains were shipped to Reading this morning. FORMER DANVILLE BOY'S INVENTION A. B. Flick, of Williamsport, is in town soliciting orders for an invalid bed-table. The artiole in qnestion is the invention of a former Danville boy, Eugene Kemp,now a well known machinist with residenoe in tbe "Queen Oity of the West Branoh." The table is a neatly and attractively finished pieoe of furniture, with a swinging arm attachment that can be readily fastened to a bed or chair oo oopied by an invalid. The arm is in two pieces, joined together by a swivel near the table and regulated by a sorew. With the aid of the latter, the table can be easily adjusted for read ing, writing or eating purposes. Judge Savidge's View. Too mnoh praise can not "be given Judge Savidge's view of the right way to treat boy offenders who, though bad, may not be inoorrigible. He dis played oommendable discrimination, and probable oorreoti ve lenienoy, in the treatment of two Shamokin youths by ■aspending sentence after their convic tion for theft, on oondition that they reimburse the party from whom they had stolen. Tbe nsoal way of treating suoh cases is to look yoang offenders ap among hardened oriminals where they enoounter the daoger of becom ing ae bad as their prison associates! In the oase of the two boys mention ed, who have been given tbe chanoe to make amends without being branded as felonious convicts, if there Is any good in them they will appreoiate the Judge's lenienoy and try to live bet ter lives. It is a wise and oharltable course to give every young offender an opportunity to redeem himself. If he fails to take advantage of his oppor tunity then it will be time to send him to jail. Danville fleets Defeat. The Danville foot ball team were ■hut out by the ex-High School eleven of Bloomsbarg at DeWitt'a Park on Thursday afternoon by a score of 16 to 0. The Danville boys pot op a fairly good game bat they were oatolassed in both weight and tactics. The home team declares that the ex- Higli School team wasoomposed main ly of students spending Thanksgiving at Bloomßburg, nearly all of them being members of college class teams. Despite the discouraging score it was an interesting game and a good sized orowd was in attendance. Toaohdowns Taylor 2, Frymire 1; Goals from touchdowns Allan 1. Tioket 313 held by Frank Qarrow drew first prize, a sack of Soar. The seoond prize,a two pound box of oandy was won by tioket 58.bat has not been olaimed. Christmas Program. The churches are already preparing for Ohristmos programs and in about every Sunday Sohool oommittees have been appointed and in some parts have now been assigned. On aooount of Chrißtmas falling upon Sunday the time for the presentation of the pro grams by the various chnrches will in clude three nights, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Several of the ohnrohes will have their programs Friday even ing Moser Hotel Sold. The Fred Uoser hotel, which is sit uated on the main road between this city and Washingtonville was sold yes terday afternoon at one o'clock at pub lio sale. The old hostelry was pur chased by Lloyd O. Oooper of Derry township for tSOOO. MoOlellan Diehl of Washingtonville was the auctioneer. Barbora are getting their abate of tin loot hall proSU now. FRACTDBED BIS SKULL Harry H. Exley, chief of detectives with the John Robinson's ten big shows, which frequently gives a per formance in Danville, is at present staying in Sunbury recovering from a fractured skull whioh injury he receiv ed while with the circus at Bruns wick, Qeorgia, several weeks ago. When the oirous train arrived at Brunswlok, Mr. Exley was one of the first persons to leave the train as waß bis usnal custom and just as he step ped from the oar to the ground a bur ly negro quiokly picked up a brick and hurling it with all the strength at his oommand struck Exley a terrible blow near the left temple rendering him unoonsoious. Turning, the negro started to rnn and made good his es oape, but the men under Mr. Exley who had witnessed thoastault jumped from the train, drew their revolvers and literally filled the negro full of bullets, killing him instantly. The shooting caused great excite ment and in a short time a large orowd assembled. Brunswick police officers then identified the negro as a very de sperate oharaoter and one who was badly wanted to answer to several ser ious oharges. It was the general be lief that the negro thought that Exley was an officer trying to 'oapture him and in order to esoape burled the briok. It was at oooe seen that Exley was in a very orltioal oonditlon and lie was harried to the hospital. After an ex amination by the hospital phjsioians it was fonud that the injured man bad suffered a severe fraotnre of the akall and he was not expeoted to re oorer. An operation was decided op on in an effort to try and save his life and a olot of blood and fragments of bone removed wbioh were pressing on the brain and a silver plate was in serted. Hoveling between life and death for some time Exley recovered oonsoioasness and his oondition took a tarn for the better. He was then re movd to his home at Pittsbnrg, bat phjsioians told him to leave the oity and seek some more qoiet place for rest. Taking a fancy to Sanbory when with the oiroas there,he deolded that this was the place to oome to complete his reoovery. The wound in hia head has not yet entirely healed and he will always oarry an agly soar. While with the Robinson oirons last season Exley oaptared three oouuter feiters at Hazleton and a murderer at Columbia. He is thinking of opening a detective agency in Suubnry. EXCURSION TO WASHINGTON, D. C. The Philadelphia and Reading Rail road Oompany has arranged to rnu an exoarsion train from Bloomsburg to Washington, D. 0., for the benefit of the teachers and pupils of the Blooms barg Normal Sohool,and all others de siring to take advantage of the cheap rate, on Uonday, December i9th. The tickets will covers period of five days, with the privilege of one day stop-off in Philadeplhia when returning. The hour of starting will be fixed later. Two years ago the Reading ran a sim ilar excursion, and quite a number of the citizens of Danville took advant age of it aud had a most enjoyable trip. Doubtless many will avail them selves of the opportunity this time. To Save Money for County.| Promlneut taxpayers of Northumber land oouuty are discussing the ques tion of requesting the judges of the oourts of that county to make an order enforcing to tho letter, the law rela tive to discharging under the iusolv enoy aot. This is one of tbe most important departures of the ooart.as it means no end of hard work for the lawyers, whose alients have been caddled with the oosts, and it will practioally bar two-tbirdi of the litigants who in the past have taken advantage of the law to esoape paying. The onstom has been for attorneys, as soon as the olient has been sentenc ed to pay the oosts, togo into court anr'i ask for a role to show cause why he should not be disoharged from cus tody onder the insolvency aot. The rule waß granted, and tbe applicant given his freedom pending its disposi tion. The attorney would straightway goto the nearest waste basket and de posit the papers and right there and then tbe matter ended. This proceeding has become so far ojal to tbe taxpayers that the judges will be asked to issue an order similar to Luzerne oounty. To get a olient disoharged this would mean endless worry and almost as much red tape as looking for a government pension. It is not too much to say that the maj ority of the attorneys, rather than go all the rounds, would indooe their olients to borrow the money and pay the oosts.as.it is by far the easier way out of the matter. The applioant under the order first made a deed of assignment to a credit or or oredltors in liis or her possession and in criminal oases the county will be the oreditor. Then applioants must be appointed to appraise his or her valuables, and they in turu will file a sohedule of the applicant's assets aud liabilities. After all this lias been done, a role will be granted by the oourt. In the papers filed mnst also be an oath from the applioaot that ev erything has been assigned to his cred itors aud also a number of other forms that must be filled oat. Over Half of School Districts Paid Uore than one-half the school dis tricts in Peuiißjlvauia have been paid their share of the school fund for the fisoal year ending Uay 31 next. State Treasurer llathuea expeots to pay all of them during the present year. The exact amount paid to the schools is |3,881,)j68, leaving less than $2,000,000 due them. Of the entire appropria tion of |5,500,000 for this year the pnb lio schools proper will get $5,213,600; the normal schools, 1337,500, and the township high schools, (50,000. So (ar it hai beeu drawing liglitl; on the ooai pile. STONE BUILDERS TO LEAVE But one course of stone and th ooping are needed for the completion of the abutment on the Danville side of the river and Messrs. Caldwell, Barry & Leonard expeot to finish the work before the olose of the present week. In conversation with James Barry, the general foreman he stated that this job was one of the best that the firm had ever built and that when the bridge was finally completed uo better structure would be found on the North Branch. The laying of stone began the latter part of August and hai proceeded swiftly and smoothly ever since. There were no long delays and though good luck as far as weather conditions and floods prevailed the able manage ment has been demonstrated in the fine result obtained. The work was out up in departments with oompeteut foremen at the head of each. Thomas Leouard of Philadel phia, one of the firm was in charge of the masons. P. J. Barry, also one of the firm, of Mahanoy City, aoted as treasurer and with -T. 9. Caldwell of Trenton, has been here sinue the work began. James Barry the general foreman was a most important figure about the operation. The taßk of tearing down the remaining spans of the old bridge was done under his direction as well as the unloading of stone,building the tramways, etc. He was always to be found on the scene and being of a genial natnre made many friends on both sides of the river. James Leonard of New Britain, Oonn., had charge of the rigging, a dangerous job, though the huge der ricks were set up and taken down without any aooident. He was assist ed in the work by William Leonard, also of New Britain. Others who were identified with the job from beginning to the end are Thomas Toner and John Oarmudy of New Britain, Cunn., stone masons, John Burke of Scranton and Charles Pingley of West Virginia,hoisting en gineers, James Dugan of Plattsburg, N. Y., and Stephen Murray, of Eok ley. Pa., who were in oiiarge of the oonorete work. These workmen have been together for a number of year* and are a hard working,industrious set of men Their record,while in Danville is of the best and they will leave many friends here. They expect to leave next Monday and will spond Christmas at their homes. It, is not unlikely that Caldwell, Barry & Leonard will be in charge of the masonry at the Oatiwissaand Ber wick bridges. WILLIAM BAYLOR BADLY INJURED While employed at the Reading Iron Works yesterday afternoou William Baylor was struok by a bar of iron, fracturing his left leg, an I severely cutting his left hand. Baylor was working near the shears when a heavy bar that was being cut struck him, throwing liiin to the gronnd and breaking one of the bones of the left leg. As he fell his left hand struck the bar and was severely cut. He was taken to his home near the Polish Brewer; where Drs. Paules and Newbaker reduced the fraotnre. The pitient was resting easily last evening. Head Not Indentified. Although the missing head of the body of the man mnr<lered near Hick ory Ridge liaß beeu found it lias not been ideutiSed and the mystery and horrbile mnrder is as far from being solved as ever. All day Wednesday hundreds of people viewed the head, but not one conld be found who re cognized who the man was. The head is in a good state of preservation doe to its being wrapped in the man's olothing an] it will be kept several days betore being burled in au effort to learn who the man was who met suoli a terrible death. Sparred on by the reward offered by the Northumberland Oounty Commis sioners and the finding of the head, officers are searching the woods in the looallty where the head and body were found in order to find some clue whioh will eventually lead to the arrest and oouviotion of the guilty party or part ies. When the report was circulated that the head was that of an Italian many Italians went to the undertaking est ablishment and looked at the man's head, bat none were foond who ooald identify the murdered man. James Ohristiano, the intelligent leader of the Italians in Northumberland coun ty, after viewing the head stated that in his opinion he was firm in the be lief that the man was not an Italian and that he was not a foreigner. The report oirculated and published in the oity papers that the man had been identified and that a number of arrests had been made is untrue in every particular. A story was circulated Wednesday afternoon that the murdered man was the victim of an Italian secret sooiety and that although reoognized by sever al of hia fellow couutry men they did not dare, uuder penalty of death, re veal his identity. This story is not generally believed and is denied in strong terms by the members of the Italian colony. Jewish Holidays. The feast of Ohanuoah will be ob served hy the Jewish world commenc ing next Sunday and the inauguration of the holiday will be marked by the B'ne Zion congregation in this city in a very fitting manner. A children's service will be given Sunday evening oommenoing promptly at seven o'olook. At this Berrice the Sabbath sohool students will make ad dresses, give reoitations, etc., appro priate to the day and it significance. Rabbi Rosenberg will have a short lecture also and the music program will be attractive. J. J. Newman will sing a solo and Herbert Wyle, violinist, will render two numbers. A ohoir of seven voioes with Miss Gertrude Heim at the organ will sing a special service. Now for Christmas. TEACHERS INSTITUTE [Continued from First Page. ] will do it. When the ohild leaves the school room he should carry with him the outline of the books he has read, and a knowledge of the books he Bhould read; so that he may goon ed ucating himself indefinitely. There is somewhat of a tendency at present on the part of teaohers to neg lent the fairy tales and Bible stories so dear to the hearts of ohildren, and pot in their plaoe the literature of a more advanoed mind. Even the teach ers themselves are often unfamiliar with many of these oharming stories. It iB well for any one, of whatever age, who is desirous of comprehensive ly reading biographioal,historical and classioal works to lay the foundation by becoming aoqnainted with these Bible Btories.fairy tales and folk-lore. Miss Edmund said in oonoluslon that it is not so muoh what the child reads in school,as it iB what he loves to read after he leaves sohool that ia a mea sure of sucoess to us teaohers. After a short intermission a olass from the Third Ward Primary School rendered several songs with pleasing edeot. James Coughlin, Superintendent of the publio aohools of Wllkesbarre, and one of the foremost educators of the state, waa then introduoed to the In stitute. He said that the great pro blem for teachera to aolve ia how to teach. He emphasized the importance of the teacher fixing the attention of the pupil opsn what he is reading. The ohildren should be taught to help themselvea. A method, to what ever it may apply, muat represent an orderly and related aeries of exercises leading to aelf-helpiullness. Self-dir ected aotivity should be the one great lesson for the ohild to learn. If the teaoher has nothing definite in mind the aohool will not be moving in a definite direction. His oonoluslon waa a plea for teach ers to learn to so oonduct their schools that there will be awakened iu the pupils' mind an appreciation of that person who ia standing before the class and who is deserving of the esteem of the olass. In the afternoon Misa Gertrude Ed mund apoke upon "The Art Idea iu Education." She said that Imagina tion, feeling and expreaaion are neces sary for the oreation of art in any form. There are three lines of educa tion possible in our publio sohools— drawing, music and literature. As instructors of ohildren, our first duty is to teach the children to ap preciate the beautiful in art. Second ly we should teaoh them to produce ait. In order to accomplish results iu these lines teachara should decorate and beautify the walla of their rooniß with inapiring pictures. Iu apeaking of music Miss Edmund said: "I hope the time is coming when we Bhall have in our High Schools classical musia; when we shall have ohildren studying the great classics in musio, just as they study the great clas-iica in literature." She continued by saying that we often invite our local talent to play in the schools in order that the ohildren may hear good musio. How muoh more beneficial it would be if we encouraged the chil dren themselves to come forward and do what little they oould, and in this way better develop their talent along that line. "I have only one word to aay about poetry," Miaa Edmund stated, "And tint word ia this: it seems to me that it is the mission of art to make plain things fair and ugly things oftentimes beautiful, and it ia the mission of art to find and make beautiful the unaom monness in common life. I often think that poetry has been more of a help in this line than anything else." The balance of the afternoon was taken up by Superintendent James Coughlin'B address on "Sohool Discip line." His talk waa instructive and inspiring and wa9 very acceptable lo the institute: so much ao that Mi»B Edmund, who waa to have ocoupied the laat period, voluntarily gave up her time that Mr. Coughlin might con tinue. Hla remarks were punctuated with amuaing incidents in his person al experience whioh served admirably to illustrate the point nnder discus sion. He said that is is vastly better to dis cipline a sohool by moral suasion than by foroe. A lohool should be manag ed, that is, a pupil shonld be persnad ed to do things rather than force him to do them. Teaohers should also pos sess the spirit of justioe. Some oue has said "The teachers of this oonntry are the commissioned' leaders of civiliza tion." Now if we are the commission ed leaders of civilization, we ought to nnderstand the qaalites whijh con stitute leadership. At both the morning and afternoon sessions the High Sohool room was oomfortably filled with people. Mauy perrons not conneoted with the Insti tute were in attendance, WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. With each session of the Teaclieis' Institute the interest seems to grow. Yesterday at both the morning and af ternoon sessions a number of citizens were in attendance. The addresses of Miss Gertrude Edmund aud Superin tendent James Ooughlin were practic al and comprehensive and thoroughly interesting. On account of the Rev. Edward Haughton being absent from the city, ohapel was condnoted by General Sec retary Lanmaster of the Y M C. A. Mr. Ooughlin occupied the first period with an address on "Why Our Schools Are Not Thorough." His talk WHH given under three head'. First, we do not see the end from the beginning. He emphasized the point that of ihu many contributions of study there must be unifioation. It Is not so IUUOII that the ohild is going to learn all the subjects we teach, but we exercise his mind and we want him to be a think er. The doty of every teaoher is to create the conditions which will en able the unfittest to survive. Secondly, the children do not pre pare their lessons as they should. If a class oomes to a teacher with the lesson only partly prepared, the teach er afaonld ba unwilling to hear that recitation. Schools are not thorough beoause ohildren are allowed to reoite without being fully prepared. The ab solute 00-operation of the home is es sential to the school, beoause the pre paration must be made in the home. Those at home should understand that they are to help in this matter of in terest. Thirdly, there must be a uniformity in the studies. Certain subjeota be come major studies at different times. Between the agos of six and twelve years, literature is the major study, with a growing interest in others. In the thirteenth year mathematica pre dominates, and at fourteen mathe matioß and history. After a short iutermission Miss Ger true Edmund addressed the Institute on "Penmanship and Drawing. " Dur ing the course of her talk Mies Ed mund exhibited a number of apeoimena of penmanship and drawing exeouted by pupils of the school of which she ia prinoipal. The ohildren whose handiwork was shown vary in age from six to thirteen years. Creation is made the keynote of their work ; the ouly oopyiug they are allowed to do ia from nature. The children are taught to cut original designs from paper when they first come to the kinder garten. From this vork they advance through the different grades to var ious kinds of designing. The wall paper designs by children of seven and eight years of age are revelations of the wonderful system that exists in well regulated schools. Some speci mens by pupils in the grammar aohool were water-color landscapes and flow ers that showed highly developed art istio ability. On the sbuject of creative and orig inal work Misa Edmund said: "In every mind there are unknown pos sibilities. It in our niUion as teachers to develop what lies in embryo. In the design work in drawing, nature has been used as a means for snggest ing an infiuite variety of new beauti ful and original combinations. In ao doing it is no longer imitation, it is creation. Had the Greeks and the great Italian masters simply imitated what the eye saw, we might have faith ful copies, historically correct, but there would have been no art about it." Miss Edmund gave several valuable suggestions on penmanship. Specimens of vertical penmanship by pupila who are in the various grades of the schools under her supervision, were shown. The specimens were commendable for their neatness and skill. The vertical system is preferred for the lower grades beoause it is the most natural system for the ohild. The speaker be ing an excellent penman herself, is fully competent to give the teachers most valuable instruction on the sub ject." Mr. Gonghlln occupied the first period iu the afteruoou session with au ad dross ou "Pedagogy of Reading." He said tliat we should first of all master the mechanics of reading, that is, we shoald distinguish between reading and learn iug to road. Heading is the getting of thoughts from the printed page, an 4 we cannot get the thoughts from the page until we know how to read properly. Iu learning to read we proceed from the known to the un known, the known being oral speech, and the unknown, written speech. Iu learning to read we appeal to the mem ory, which is somewhat threefold in nature: visual, auditory and motor. We should adopt a method that will represent au orderly and related series of exerciser, and one that will lead oliildreu to help themselves. The Misses Hooley delighted the au dienoe with two piano dnets entitled "Tourist March" and "West Virginia University March," the latter being an enaore. Miss Elfriede Weiss rend ered two vocal selections with pleas ing effeot. The bitlaucc of the afternoon was occupied by Miss Edmund. She spoke most entertainingly of"The Art of the Italian Renaissance." She Haid in part: The Italy of the Renaissanoe is the art garleu of the world. Iu the mast ery of liue aud color,iu the expression of great truths and the embodiment of spiritual ideals, the achievements of the Italian artists from the middle of the twelfth to the close of the six teenth century, have been the wonder and admiration of the world and con stitute Its chief art impulse. About the year 1000 A. D., the end of the world was expected and when this year passed without bringing the great event, enthusiasm revived, and as an expression of gratitude, the peo ple began to build great ohurohes nnd cathedrals. The Popes invented the Mystery Plays illustrating scenes in the life of Christ. Such occasions as these stimu lated the artistic pasiiou of the people aud poetry, painting and sculpture went hand in hand. It has been truly said that the his tory of Christianity is carved and paint eil in its Madonnas. The first of these hardly represent a real mother and child. They are rather symbols of battle. In the latter part of the 13th cent ury, we find the Father of Painting, the artist, Cimabae. He made a bold but devout attempt to break away from the ascetic ideal, and unite the dignity of the divine with the beanty of the human form. But Cimabue'B strong claim to the gratitude of suc ceeding ages is that he gave to the world, Giotto, the shepherd boy. Giot to was a cieatr.r, ar. volutionist. He turned aside from the arbitrary and traditional forms of the past,and studi ed at nature's shiiue. Of Masaccio, it is said: "He came to Florence lonu aao, And painted here these walls, that shone For Raphael and for Augelo, With secrets deeper than his own." Of Fra Angelico, it Mas well been said. "The light of his studio came from Paradise." Fra Fillippo I,ippi was the first of the Italian artists to take the faces of those around him as models for his sacred character?. Bot tioelli's Madonna* are characterized by the divine aud thoughtful face he gives the Virgin. 2 Michael Angela united great nobility of character to a commanding strength of intellect, and a fervor that gave him the apeilation : "The Prophet of tiie Renaissance." She a poke of Aogelo'a patxiotiaui TO REPLACE CON DEINEDARIORIES The chances for a new Armory in this oity will be exceedingly bright should the matter of State Armories be takeu op at theDext meeting of the Legislature. That a bill will be parsed providing for their ereotion seems be yond a donbt. The gaardsmen are do ing all in their power to have the bill passed and they are backed by tiie press and. many people of influence every where. Oaptain J. Beaver Qear hart, who was one of the delegates from the twelfth regiment to the meet ing of the State National Guard As sooiaton held at Philadelphia last week said yesterday: "The meeting of the State National Guard Assooiation held recently at Philadelphia was of great import aanoe. The Armory question was taken up and Adjutant General Stewart out lined what would be asked from the ooming Legislature and the Associa tion unanimously endorsed the pro ject. For many years the housing of the soldiers of this great Common wealth has been highly discreditable. The majority of the buildings in which the soldiers have been trained, among which is our looal company, are disgraoefully deficient in every partionlar. With the present improve ment now going on in Danville a fif teen or twenty thousand dollar build ing would greatly add to the beauty of our city. There is now over 914,- 000,000 surplus iu the State Treasury and surely out of this large sum enough oan be spared to at leaßt mako a be ginning. The opinion of the Assooia tion was that the smaller towns in whioh companies are looated would be furnished with Armories first and the larger oities In whioh the Armories are more adequate would not receive attention until the oondemned Arm ories were replaoed with modern struc tures. " and his preeminence in soulpture and painting. Not a fragment of his labor was insignificant. Into art as into a rioh land, he came and conquered. In grace, purity, serenity and lofti ness Raphael was the Florentine lead er, easily first. He brought human loveliness to the border of the devine. Leonardo Da Vinoi's work has much power and dingity, it is sympathetic winning and impressive. His best known pictures are the Mona Lisa, and the head of Ohrist in The Last Supper. Thirteen Snow Storms. We are to have just thirteen snow storms this winter according to an old rule. The flrat fall of snow ocoorred on the thirteenth of the month and the date of the event is the total num ber of stormß that will come during the winter. The old hoodoo number IS,is figuring prominently in this con nection as the seoond snow storm whioh came Saturday, the 28tb, was just thirteen days later. Last year the first snow storm oame on the 80th of November and there were just thirty snow storms during the winter. Ap parently theie is something in the old rule.
