How to Foreten Weather.

In a manuel of the Barmcmetor, COM
piled by Rear-Admiral Fitzroy. Of the
English navy, and just published by the
Board Of Trade, the following observations
occur:
whether clear or cloudy, rosy sky at
sunset presages fac weather a red sky in
the morning, bad weather, or much wind
(perhaps rain) gray sky in the morning
fine weather high dawn, wind; low
dawn. fair weather Soft-looking or deli
cate clouds foretell fire weather, with mod
crate or light breezes hard-edged, oily
looking clouds, wind 4 dark gloomy,
blue sky is windy, but light bright blue
sky indicates fine weather Generally, the
softer clouds look, the less wind (but per-
haps, more rain) may be expected and
the harder, more greasy" rolled, tuftcd,
or ragged, the stronger the coming wind
will prove. Also bright yellow sky at
sunset presages wind: a pale yellow, wet !,
and thus by the prevalence Of red, yell
low, or grey tin's, the coming weather
may be foretold very nearly indeed if
aided by instruments almost exactly
Small y-looking clouds foretell rain, light
scud clouds, driving across in heavy masses

dicate wind only. High upper clouds cross

and far to seward moderate wind and
fair weather may be expected when they
hang about the land or over it, sometimes
flying inland, expect strong wind, with

a coming change in the weather known

CamDaisniug Axioms.

l. One we'll fed, well equipped, well appointed
brigade is worth two that are i'll provided.
2. In active service three men die of undue ex-
posure, bad food, and their ownimpruaences, where
one is killed by shot or stab.
3. An easy, rational, nicely fitting uniform. with
warm. substantial blanket, bread-solei boots or
shoes and good wooden socks, will more conduce
to efficiency in service than superiority in weapons
4. The lightest possible headeovering, with good
lookout for ventilation, will add tenth to the dis
lance regiment can march in day, while insuring
increased comfort.
5. A small cotton handkerchief, or half yard of
the cOmmonest sheeting moistened with water IN the
morning and again at noon, and worn between the
hat and the head. will protect the soldier from sun
stroke and great diminish the discomfort and fatigue
of hot days march.
G. A fiat bottle covered with wooden cloth, the
cloth being moistened and the bottle filled with
water in the morning, will keep reasonably cool
throughout long, hot day.
I. Of all villainOus connections, the liquors sold
by campfollowers are the most detestabe and dan;
gerous They more deadly than ritied cannon
and sure to be taken just when they should not
be. Every soldier who means to do his duty to his
country should insist that all vendors these poiEons
be drummed out of camp.
8. A good cook to each company, who knows how
to make salt meat Juicy and tender, and to have 1t
ready whenever and wherever it may be wanted,
is equal to two doctors and four extra cumbatantS.
0. Officers who love and care for their men wh1ls
in repose never have to complain OF their conduct
in action,
TO- soldier whose heart is in the cause he fights
for is worth two who fight for their pay.
