Influence of Rainfall.
Mr. Clayton of the Blue Hill ob
(ervatory, has a suggestive paper in
the Popular Science Monthly ou the in¬
fluence of rainfall on commercial and
political affairs. Every severe finan¬
cial panic in the United States has
been closely associated with a protract¬
ed season of deficient rainfall, The
outbreak of the boxer war in China
was at least* partially due to the im¬
poverishment of the people by drought.
A. severe winter precipitated the
French revolution. The Russians say¬
ing that January and February are
two invincible generals was exempli¬
fied by the disastrous Moscow cam¬
paign of 1812. In the year 54 B. C.
Caesar's legions in Gaul were defeat¬
ed on account of their scattered sta¬
tions, and the stations were placed
Wide apart because a scanty harvest
bad made this disposition a necessity.
These are only a few of many ex¬
amples that might be cited.
Broke Ironclad Rule.
It. was no one’s business, of coin's®,’
but bis own, but President RoosevelJ
does ride a horse with a docked tail
when he feels like it. The last day
Gen. Wood was in Washington he
rode with the President out Massachu¬
setts avenue extended away beyond the
huge culvert over Rock creek. The
President strode a dock-tailed horse
that time for sure. Ten rods behind
rode an orderly, and about the same
distance farther back rode two plain
clothes policemen on bicycles. Hlw
the latter negotiated the rough and
rutty roads farther out Is of interest
to them alone, but the President is a
hard man to follow. The rougher the
road the more certain he is to take It.
But it was a dock-tailed horse, a higfa

Have Good and Bad Seasons.
"One would naturally think that our
business at this time of year would bo
at its best, but it isn’t,” said a tobac
conist yesterday. "Our cigar trade al¬
ways fails off in bad weather, especial¬
ly when the bad weather is accompan¬
ied by high winds. Even habitual
smokers don’t enjoy a cigar in the open
air when the wind is blowing. Just
take no ^. ^ the number of men you
sse smoking on the street some calm,
clear day, and then note the difference
a day like this. You will see that it
has quite an effect, upon our business,
Our receipts are much higher in sum¬
mer than in winter, just because of
this. It’s all well enough to picture a
man smoking before a cosy fireside,
but there are lots of men who have
cranky wives, and 'who seldom smoke
in the house. During the summer they
can do their smoking out of doors with
a full measure of enjoyment. Yes;
summer is the best time for us.”
“The pen,’’ said the famous war¬
rior to the great editor, “is mightier
than the sword.” “But there is this
to say in favor of the sword,” replied
the great editor. “It never gets us into
libel suits.”
