the use Of salt in the preservation OF the meat,
drawing an analogy between its action and
that of heat III The process OF cooking, una

Old Weather Proverbs.

At a recent meeting Of the Wiltshire
Arch@ illogical Society az SWindon, England,
the Rev. A. {. Smith read a paper entitled
"Wiltshire Welthcr Proverbs and Weather
Fallacies," which has been very extensively
reproduced by the English press. Sumo OF
the Quaint old rhymes which it. cmbotlic>
arc well worth preservation us curios;ics OF
folk. lore, aside from any value they may
have as guides in anticipating the character
of future weather. We copy part Of the
paper below:
| proceed now TO mention such OF the
proverbs as are in most general use among
rs. but [ would premise that SOME OF thcm
arc common to every other county in Eng
land. How true is the wcl!.known saying,
Erenlne grey and morning red,
Sem,:s the shepherd wet 10 bed;
Evening red and morning grey,
Is tic siiro sign Of very Tine DAY!
And this:
Mackerel ekv. mackerei sky,
Never long wet, and never long DRY.
Rain before seren,.,
Fine before clcSer.'
And this again:
"A rainbow In the morn INK
is the Shepherds warning;
A rainbow at night
l. the she, herds Delights
which is only our homely way oil expressing
the famous liues Of Byron,
:. 10 ,hou the rainbow to the storms Of life,
The evening beam that smiles the Clou'ls away
Aud tinls tomorrow with prophetic ray.
Then. again, how true is tao Old WILTSHIRE
saying:
- Ihcu the wind Is northwest,
Tile weather Is At the best;
But If the rain comes ont OF ille cast, ,, =,
Twill rain twice twenty flour hours at Tie least
These are general proverbs applicable 10
all times; but we have an unusual numDcF
of proverbs in Wiltshire, which describe the
evils Of too advanced vegetation IN preco.
cous spring; indeed, on Il Careful COMPARE
sou of all the Wiltshire weather PROVERBS
with which ! am acquainted, by far the
larger portion refers to this fact, which IS
perhaps brought hone 10 us in our confess
edly cold county more than elsewhere. Thus
for January we have:
uIf the grass grows In .Ianireer
Ii grows the worse for I Al, the year.
"a January spring
Is worth nothing
Fer February,
"Of NIL the mouths IN The year,
Curse lair Fcbrueer."
so again. for March, in true Wiltshire lam
As many mistescs In March,
So many trOsllScs In May
And the wel.known adage,
i" II March comes In like lion II goes out IKE
IF II Comes in like lamb 1t goes out like lion.'
FLU considering this prognostic, IT shou ,nbo oe
hnrnn In mind that In the former case the raihoo"
viii appear in the west, hnd III JUS 1'''ea ~ VIC
east.
