Language of the Clouds.

Delicate, soft-looking clouds foretell
fine weather with moderate light breezes;
hard-edged and oily-looking clouds,
wind. A dark, gloomy blue sky is
windy; but light, bright blue sky indi-
Gates fine weather. Generally the softer
clouds look the less windy, but perhaps
more rain may be expected; and the
harder, more greasy" rolled, tufted,
or rugged the stronger the coming
wind will prove. A bright yellow sky
at sunset also presages wind; pale vel
low, wet; and greenish, sickly. looking
color, wind and rain. Thus by the prev
alence of red, yellow, or other tints. the
coming weather may be foretold very
nearly; indeed, if aided by instruments,
almost exactly. Small, inky looking
clouds foretell rain; light scud clouds,
driving across heavy masses, indicate
wind and rain, but if alone may show
only rain.

Progress or Great Britain In Twenty.
Four Years,

1t is an American characteristic to
boast OF progress. 1t is peculiarly n
Western characteristic TO institute com
parsons OF statistics, year by year, and
to vaunt ourselves upon our growth and
increase IN all directions. Latterly the
English have been instituting some CON-
PARSONS OF statistics concerning their
own growth, and one of these COMPARE
sons, made by the London Times be-
tween the material condition of the
kingdom in 1851 and 1875, thus covering
a quarter OF century, gives a color of
truth to the assertion of the Pal MAI
Budget that 1--WE may fairly conclude
that no nation in the world ever pre-
viously enjoyed a quarter of century
distinguished by equal prosperity"
The statistics printed in the London
Times certainly warrant this statement.
and are so remarkable in character that
we reproduce few of the more import
tant of them. The population of the
United Kingdom rose from 81, 1893, 1877 in
1851 to 30, 1877, 405 in 1875. England in
that time increased 1851, $40; Scotland.
59S, 1879 while unfortunate Ireland de-
creased l. 166, TAI on account of excessive
emigration. Pauperage also shows a
decrease, Notwithstanding the large in
crease of population. The number of
paupers in the United Kingdom in 1851
was |, 1888, 453 in 1875 it was l ,002, AIS,
showing q decrease of 1874, 453. The
criminal statistics are even more re-
markable. In 1851 there were So, Gas
persons committed for trial, OF person
in every 485, while in 1875 there were
%, 126, or but in ], 4S0 of the pcpula-
ton. In the primary schools OF Great
Britain there were 271, l26 children in
1851, while in 1875 there were 2,039, 7S4,
showing that, while ] child for every 70
persons was receiving instruction III 1851,
/ child for every ID persons was receiv-
ing instruction in 1875. Thus much for
the increase OF population, industry
and education, and the diminution of
crime.
The financial and commercial statistics
present results which are quite as strik-
ing as the foregoing. In 1851 the gross
revenue of the United Kingdom was
1887, 500, $50 IN 1875 it was 1914, 609, 1866
an increase of $S7, 009,515. The gross
expenditure in 1851 was 1852, 243, $50
in 1875 it was 1871 $40, 200-an increase
of $119, 1897, 515. The gross amount of
the annual value of property and profits
assessed TO the income tax in 1851 Gre
land excepted, where the income tax was
not then collected), was 81, 1856, 963, 615
in 1872 (Ireland included), in was 81,
| $50, 037, 535, or almost exactly double.
| The total value of exports for 1851 was
1912, DAB, 60 in 1875 it was 81, H.

Coal StriK 81 I'm the West.
From the Chicago Times,)


ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-Two thousand coal
miners In St. Louis and adjoining counties
have come out of the mines. Late in July
the miners held mass meeting and de-
manded an increase from 1A to cents a
bushel for mining. As fast as the operators
acceded the miners went to work. All gave
in without much delay, but one of the
heaviest firms in this city refused, and Its
miners have been idle ever since. About
week ago the miners learned that this firm
was obtaining from other operators all the
coal needed to fill contracts and trade.
Another meeting was held and general
strike was ordered for the purpose of bring
Ing the refractory firm to terms. Trouble
has also broken out further south, In what
is known as the Big Muddy district, and
most of the miners thsrs are on strike.
At Grand Tower the miners refused to work
several days ago. The company, with q
view to meeting some engagements, sent
cars over to Carbondale mines to be loaded
The miners there, learning what was in
tended, quit their work yesterday and ro-
fused to 90 on unless assured that the Car
bondale company will use the coal for itl
own engagements, and not to help any othe,
