Old Weather Proverbs.

At a recent meeting of the Wiltshire
Archaeological Society, at Swindon, En-
gland, the Rev. A. C. Smith read paper
entitled - Wiltshire Weather Proverbs and
Weather Fallacies," which has been very
extensively reproduced by the English
press. Some of the quaint old rhymes
which it embodies are well worth prescr-
walton as curiOsities of folklore aside
from any value they may nave as guides
in anticipating the character of future
weather. y part Of the paper is as fol
lows:
| proceed now to mention such of the
proverbs as are in most general use among
us; but | would premise that some of
them are common 20 every other county
in England. How true is the well known
saying:
Evening gray and morning red
Sends the shepherd wet to bed;
Evening red and morning gray
Is the sure sign Of very fine day.
And this:
Mackerel sky, mackcrel sky,
Never long wet and never long dry.
And this:
Rain before seven.
Fine before eleven.
And this again:
rainbow in the morning
Is the shepherds warning;
\ rainbow at night
Is the shepherds delight
which is only our hOmely way of express
ing the famous lines of Byron:
Be thou the rainbow to the storms Of life,
The evening beam that smiles the clouds
away
And tint5 tomorrow with prophetic ray.
Then, again, how true is the old Wilt
shire saying:
When the wind is northwest
The weather is at the best;
But if the rain comes ont of the east
Twill rain twice twenty-four hours at the
least.
These are general proverbs applicable
to all times but we have an unusual num-
Der of proverbs in Wiltshire which de-
scribe the evils of too advanced vegetation
in precocious spring. Thus for January
we have:
II the grass grows in JaDlVeer
1t grows the worse fort all the year
And again:
January spring
Is worth nothing
For February:
Of all the months in the year,
Curse a fair Februcer
So, again, for March, in true Wiltshire
language:
As many mistises in March,
So many Promises in May.
And the well-known adage:
If March comes in like a lion it goes out like
lamb:
If it comes in like lamb it goes out like a
lion.
For April, again:
A cold April
The barn will fill.
And again;
April showers
Bring summer flowers.
And another, landing the prolongation
OF the fierce winds Of March:
When April blows his horn,
It's good for both hay and corn.
While even for May we have:
Mist in May and heat in June
Make the harvest come right soon.
And again:
Who doffs his coat on winters day
viii gladly put it on in May.
And for June:

A dripping June
Brings all things in tune.

--~ go oAiAtSo III btiht.
Every one of these Wiltshire proverbs
relating to the first six months of the year
proclaims the acknowledged fact that a
prolonged winter and tardy spring be-
speak more abundant crops and more as
sured plenty than the pleasanter, however
unreasonable, warmth which sometimes
gladdens all hearts in winter and early
spring. Nor is this belief peculiar to oul
county or even to England. 1t is held
quite as much in the south of Europe.
For the Italians have a proverb s'January
commits the faults and May hears the
blame;n and it is a common saving in
Spain "a year Of snow, year ofplenty. "
Moreover, that such premature mildness
OF the seasons does not in reality advance
vegetation everybody who possesses gar
den knows to his cost. And here again
we have several famous Wiltshire proverbs
relating to this fact and containing verv
weighty truths. The one runs thus:
Be it veal or be it woe,
Beans blow before May doth 60.
Another says:
Come it early or come it late,
In May comes the corn-quake.
And a third:
Plant your 'taturs when you will,
They won't come up before April.
But, again, we have Wiltshire sayings
which affirm, what believe to be an
equally undeniable truth, that together
with a prolonged winter and dripping
spring, dry summer is.more to be desired
by the husbandman. That, however, is a
season we scarcely seem to have expe-
rienced this year, when the old Devon
shire proverb, applicable enough in that
rainy county, might have been quoted
with much truth even here:
The west wind always brings wet weather;
The east wind, wet and cold together;

A Saturdays moon
II it comes once in seven years
Comes once too soon,


ing proverb:
A Saturdays moon
If it comes once in seven years
Comes once too soon.
Equally unfounded, though more easily
accounted for, is the notion which pre-
walls among our people that the weather
on Friday differs from that of all other
days. The saying is:
TOeyery other day in the week
Friday is not alike.
A somewhat obscurely-worded senti-
ment; but doubtless it originates in the
same principle which causes sailors to
dread putting out to sea on a Friday,
viz: the custom, orce religiously OBJ
served of keeping Friday as weekly
fast.
The signs to be derived from the animal
world are very numerous and very reli-
able, and are much observed amongst Onr
people in consequence. As examples of
the most common in this county they will
tell you that seldom indeed will wet day
be found to follow when in the morning
cows are seen lying down in their past
ures; still more seldom when rocks are
noticed high in the air or swallows are
seen at great height hawking after flies !;
but rarcst Of all when three white butter
| flies are seen together in the garden or
field. The latter is sure sign of fine
day which l have hardly ever known TO
fail. They will tell you, on the other
hand, that when the distant downs look
near; or the common plOver or pewit.
which frequents our downs in such num-
bers, becomes restless; or the bees hurry
home and none leave the hive; or par
tridges grow wild or sea-gulls make their
appearance so far inland; or pigs carry
straw in their mouths: or insects fly low,
rain is at hand. These are but samples of
many similar instances of unfailing
instinct in regard to weather. which every
student Of nature admiFes in the various
branches Of the animal kingdom l will
conclude with the clever lines Of DR.. Jen-
ner, which sum up the matter very accu-
rately:
The hollow winds begin TO blow,
The clouds look black, the glass is low,
The SCOT falls down, the spaniels sleep,
And spiders from their cobwebs creep;
Last night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon in halos hid her head;
The boding shepherd heaYes a sigh,
For see. rainbow spans the sky;
The walls are damp, the bitches smell,
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernell;
The squalid toads at dusk are seen
Slowly crawling DER the green;
Loud quack the ducks, the peacocks cry,
The distant bills are looking nigh;
Harkl how the chairs and tables CRACK,
Old Betty's joints are on the rack;
And see yon rocks, how odd their flight.
They initiate the gliding kite,
Or seem prccipitate to fall,
As if they felt the piercing ball;
How restless are the snorting swine,
The busy flies disturb the kline;
Low DER the grass the swallow wings,
The cricket, too, how sharp she sings;
Puss on the hearth with velvet paws
Sits wiping DER her whiskcred Jaws;
The wind, unsteady, yecrs around,
Or, settling, in the south is found;
The whirling wind the dust obcys
And DER the rapid eddy plays:
The leech disturbed is newly risen
Quite to the summit Of his prison;
Twill surely rain, see, witt sorrow,
Our jaunt must be put Off tomorrow.

greSs next winter will abrugate fhe

Indians TO their present reservation
beyond the boundary lines of WyOm-
ing Territory. The pre- eIt policy
OF the government toward the Sioux
Is likely to result in permanent peace
and the civilization Of these savngeS.

this war-like tribe and the presence
Of United States troops at their agen-

TIE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
The EaTScr region of the Upper
Yellowstone, which Congress has
wisely set apart as II National Park,
is unquestiUnably the most astOniSh-
ing combination of natural wonders
and of imposing and beautiful
scenery in the world. The report Of
United States gPOlOgists, who have
repeatedly visited that region, fully
demonstrate this fact. When the
park shall become accessible by rail
TnadS-say five years henCe-we pre-
diet that ii will become the great
summer resort and sauitarium of the
continent. For sight-seers and lovers
of the wonderful and picturesque it
Will have more attractions than
Niagara, Yosemite and the White
Mountains combined; and there is
the hest caSOu to believe that the
myriadS of hot and mineral springs
in the Yellowstone Park possess val
liable curative properties. The
summer climate in this region is de-
lightful!y cool, bracing and healthfuI.
DEVELOPMENTS PROsPECTs
Our people are mainly from the
Western and Southwestern states,
and, though few in number, are
energetic, enterprising and intelli-
gent. They are the nucleus Of what
Is To be the leading commonwealth of
the new Northwest. The school
system of Wyoming is excellent and
ahundantly sustained. The Terri
tory is free from debt.
Several of the counties have incur
red Indebtedness by the making of
needed, permanent improvements;
which debts are represented by
county bonds redrpmahle in from ten
To twenty years and are consequently
not hurdcnsOmp.
With the opening up to settlement
Of Northern WyOmingthe tide ofim-
migration will pour into this Terri
tory, MS it formerly has into Califor-
MIA or Kansas. The impetus thereby
gwen To our mining interests, to
stock raising, agriculture and wool
growing, will give occupation to n
large population and add much to
the wealth of the nation.
In short, considering climate,
hcaIthfulness, fertility variety. and
abundance of natural riches, and the
location on the line of the great
national thOroughfare, the Union
Pacific railroad, we know of no
part of the Western country, which
excells Wyoming, the youngest
child of Uncle Sam.
1t is no place for droucs or dundies;
but for hard work, honest cndeav0r,
and capital backed by brains, it offers
Il wide field aud ii reasonably sure
reward.
