CLOUDS.

That the clouds may be talked about
and described, they have been classified
according to their different forms. The
principal kinds are the Stratus, C,muIus
Cirrus, Nim5us, Giro Stratus, Cumulo-
Stratus, Cur0- Cumulus.
The Stratus is the evenly spread cloud of
the same general smoothness of surface,
often varying in shade, as darker or lighter
according to density, but lying as though
carefully spread out, as one would spread
mortar on wall. The Cumulus is the
more beautiful form of cloud; it is the
cloud that we build summer castles Of
great billowy masses with snowy, tleecy
edges, darker towards their centres Some
times we see the whole summer sky filled
with these great masses with spaces of the
purest blue between, through which one
may gaze and gaze and seem to see to an
infinite distance, into Heaven itself. To-
wards sunset these masses, are often indie
scribably beautiful with varying golden
edges, here white as wool, there purple,
crimson and golden. They lie along the
horizon and fancy gives them fashion,
"gives to airy nothing habitation and
name" Here they are the celestial noun
tains," with icy, lofty peaks, and deep far
reaching wales, that one may people as he
will here they form sea with beautiful
islands like those "where the leaves never
fall and the skies never weep" then again
we behold castles built on rocky SUBMITS,
frowning precipices, deep gorges, foaming
cascades, as though the most beautiful and
widest scenes Of earth were beheld refec-
ted from Heaven as in a mirror.

tlful than in nm evening sky when the
moon is nearly full, and the night wind in
the higher atmosphere gives the masses

meath another mass. 1t seems to me there
is nothing in nature more beautiful than
these billowy, fleecy cloud masses with the
moon playing hide and seek among them.
The Cirrus as the name indicates is the
curled cloud. othing will describe this
form Of cloud better than the definitions of
this rare Latin word, mostly used in the
plural = a lock, curl, ringlet or tuft OF hair
The hair on the forehead of horse, a tuft
of feathers or crest of birds. This form of
cloud is much less common than the stra-
tuS andcumulus
The nim6us is the storm cloud. The
stratus or cumulus may suddenly assume
this form. The surface of the clouds rough
ems into form of mist and has no longer
that distant smooth appearance, but seems
presently much nearer and about to de-
scend.
The other forms, as the terms indicate,
are combinations of original types.

Sulphur for Fowls.

W'D. Davis, Poultry World, says: "Therc
Is no remedy and assistant so easily and
cheaply obtained, SO harmless to the fowls
nor SO satisfactory in its results as sulphur.
IL being In the system of animals to n
small degree, there is greater affinity for
1t than there otherwise would be. 1t can
be administered to the fowls by having it in
small box, so that they can help them
selves, or by mixing it with their food
once week, or as often as there are indi-
cations OF vermin. Penetrating, as it does
to every part OF the system, ali parasites
are quickly and surely DESTROYED. Also,
gaps are said to be prevented in chickens
Fowls need it more than most animals
their feathers contain between four and five
per cent OF sulphur Their eggs also have
small quantity, which is noticed by the
dlscoloring OF silver spoon when it comes
IN contact with boiled egg. Applied ex-
ternally to the fowls when on the nest, to
the nest itself, or mixed with the soil in
the busting box, it is equally eflicacious in
destroying vermin.
To be used as tumigator of buildings, it
Is necessary to remove the fowls, close the
room or house, mix a little saltpetre with
the sulphur in an iron vessel, and apply
match to the mixture. This should be
done in the morning, and the doors and
windows opened in the afternoon for d,
thorough ventilation.
Lard mixed with sulphur in proper pro
portions and applied as often as is necessa-
ry to the feathers on the neck and back of
young and old turkies, is very good safe
guard against the ravages of foxes.
For our own profit, and the comfort of
the fowls, let us the use sulphur or RENE

min. If in withdrawing a ceiling, plenty
of alum is added to the lime, it will also
serve to keep insects at a distance. Cock
reaches will flee from paint which has been
washed in cool alum water. Sugar bar
refs and boxes can be freed from ants by
drawing white chalk mark Just round
the edge of the top of them The mark
must be unbroken or they will creep over
it, but continuous chalk line half an inch
in width will set their depredations at
naught.

who persisted in requesting the affable
conductor to inform her when Chester was
reached Every time when the conductor
passed through the Car he was greeted
with:
"Please tell me when we get to Chester"
Courteous man though he is, even his
patience was finally exhausted, and he po-
litely requested the unfortunate female to
maintain silence, as he had heard and
would heed her injunction.
Chester was finally reached, and Chester
was yelled at the car door. The train
again started, and the conductor mounted
the car in which was his prosecutor. "Will
you tell me when we get to Chcster2" she
said
"This is Chester" he exclaimed, and,
grasping the bell-rope, he had the train
backed up to the station.

An instance of the renewal in sleep of

which causes the apparition), occurred near
Bath half a century ago, and is related by
Miss Cobbe in the article on "Unconscious
Cerebration," in Aacmillan's Magazine. Sir
John Miller, a very wealthy gentleman, died
leaving no children. His widow had al
ways understood that she was to have the
use of his house for her life, with a very
large jointure; but no will making such
provisions could be found after his death.
The heir-at-law, distant connection, ma
turally claimed his rights, but kindly al
lowed Lady Miller to remain for six months
in the house to complete her search for the
missing papers. The six months drew at
last to close and the poor widow had
spent fruitless days and weeks in examin-
ing every possible place of deposit for the
lost document, till at last she came to the
conclusion that her memory had deceived
her, and that her husband could have made

A BEAUTIFUL SENTMENT.-Shortly be-
fore his departure for India, the lamented
Heber preached sermon, which contained
this beautiful sentiment:
"Life bears us on like the stream of q
mighty river. Our boat glides down the
narrow channel-through the playful muir
muring of the little brook, and the wind
ing of its grassy borders. The trees shed
their blossoms over our young heads, the
flowers on the brink seem to offer them
selves to our young hands; we are happy
in hope, and grasp eagerly at the beauties
around us-but the stream hurries on, and
still our hands are empty. Our course in
youth and manhood is along wilder flood
amid objects more striking and pagnifi-
cent. We are animated at the moving pic
lures of enjoyment and industry passing
US, we are excited at home short-lived dis
appointment. The stream bears US on, and
our joys and griefs are alike left behind us.
We may be shipwrecked, we cannot be de-
layed; whether rough or smooth, the river
hastens to its home, till the roar of the
ocean is in our ears, and the tossing of the
waves is beneath our feet, and the land les
sens from our eyes, and the floods are lifted
around lis, and we take our leave of earth
and its inhabitants, until of our further
voyage there is no witness save the Infinite
and Eternal"
