To understand the philosophy Of rain,
a few facts from observation must be re-
membered. Were the atmosphere at al
times Of Uniform temperature we should
never have any rain, or hail, or snow.
The water absorbed by it in evaporation
from the sea and earth would descend in
imperceptibIe vapor, or cease to be
absorbed. The absorbing power OF the
atmosphere, and consequently its capaci-
" to retain humidity, Is prcPOrtionately
greater in warm than in cold air. The
air near the surface of the earth Is
warmer than in the region OF the clouds.
The higher we ascend from the earth the
colder we find the atmosphere. Hence
the perpetual snow on very high mount
aims in the hottest climate. Now, when
from continued evaporation, the air Is
highly saturated with vapOr, though it
be invisible and the sky cloudless, its
temperature Is suddenly reduced by cur
rents descending from above or rushing
from a higher 20 a lower latitude, its
capacity TO retain moisture is diminished,
clouds are formed and the result rain.
Air condenses when it cOols, and, ike a
sponge filled with water and compressed
uours out the water which it cannot hold.
How singular, yet how simple the
philosophy OF rain.

The Senator from Kentucky Mr. James
B, Beck gives succnct history of all the
bonds that were sold each year and the
prices that were paid and the interest that
was given, and from which it appears that
the bOndholders up 10 1869 had received
over Sl00,0000O0 of profit before they even
got the principal Here it is:
| In 1862 the government sold per cent
5.2O bonds to the amount of S6O,9S2,4jO,
and received for them greenbacks at their
face, dollar for dollar. The demand now
is that these bonds shall be paid in gold
at their face, and yet, owing to the deprc-
citation Of grccnbacks at the time Of their
purchase, only S44,03O,G4O in gold was
paid for them. This makes clear Spccu-
lation of $l6,95l, 1901 in favor of the bond.
holder in this first transaction. On this
clear speculation the bondhOldcrs have re-
ccived interest for eleven years, amounting
to 81 ,lS1, 1888, which added to It's principal
makes the sum Of S2S, l3S,9S9 already re.
ccived in that single transaction, for which
not one COLLAR was ever pHll.
In 1868 the govcnmcn, sold Of the same
kind of bonds $lGO,9s7,5 800 for which it
received an equal amount in grccnbacks
A standard authority placed the average
price of gold in that year at $l.jS in cur
rcncy, 1t will thus be seen that these
bonds cost their purchasers but SOL, $50
Sj4 in gold, leaving profit Of $50 ,oOG,606,
without including the interest. For ten
years, however, the government has paid IN
tercst on this naked profit, this principal,
without any consideration. The interest
thus paid amounts to S3j,4jS,0l7, which,
added to this fictitious principal, makes
| SO4,555,1l3 now In the pockets OF the

time to $l14, 05G,76s. Add this principal,
which stands as pure speculation, and we
find that the bondholders have made as
clear gain, as something for nothing, the
sum OF S3O655l ,3S2 on the one years
transaction of 1864.
In 1865 the government sold bonds to
the amount Of $270, 746,l5O, on which it
suffered IA discount of $1l ,532, 06O at the
hands Of capitalists. The interest already
paid by the people on this discount reaches
$3s,627,307, making this years operations
realize tor the bondholders Sl10,l59,367,
for which not one cent was ever paid.
In 1866 the government sold Sl24,0l4,-
400 OF its bonds for which it received de-
preclated paper amounting to $SS,j9l ,773
In gold, according to the then price of
| gold. The difference between the face of
these bonds and the amount they realized to
the government was 500, 332,627. Eight
years interest received on this shave
amounts to $l7,434,556. Adding this inter.
est and its principal together, and we find
that the bondholders have received S53, 757,-
1873 out Of this years sale of bonds for
which not one dollar ever left their Golfers
or reached the United States treasury
In 1857 the government sold of its bonds
the immense sum Of $42l, 460,5J0. The
purchasers paid for them $500, SOB.
leaving clear profit to them on the OPP
Grafton of SllS,254,047. Taking the inter
est on this profit for seven years amount
ing to $40, G6l, 6o4 already paid, and the
spectators have in their pockets, if these
bonds are to be paid in gold, the sum of
$l67,9l5,74l on this years brokerage, and
for which they never gave farthing in
considerations
In 1868 the government sold its bonds
to the still further amount of S425,444, 800.
Their purchasers paid S3l2,S26,323 for
them, clearing by that annual speculation
the sum of Sll2,6l1,471. Add six years
interest on this bonus, amounting to $iO,-
j42, 2SS, to the bonus itself, and we find
that these traftickers in nations perils
have received in this operation $l53,159,-
1d5 of the peoples money, for which not
the slightest equivalent was ever paid into
the United States treasury.
In addition to the foregoing 6 per cent.

during the years mentioned issued and sold

A hard old customer was Badger.
He was never known to attend
church, and was considered the wick
eldest man in the small town in which
he lived. One night his old cow was
prowling about the house, seeking
what she might devour, and stuck
her head in the swill barrel. BY the
time the barrel was empty, her head
was SO far in that she made blind
rush to free herself from the incum-
berance. AS luck would have il, she
struck bee line for the house, and
directly for the front door. The old
man was sitting inside, telling his
family all about a great murder trial,
when the cow gave a frightful below,
which was prolonged by the empty
barrel into an unearthly roar. At the
samo time the front door crashed
from its hinges, and the COW. with her
uncommon headgear, bOlted into the
room. "Old wickedness" gave one
agonized look at the frightful demon
which confronted him; each separate
and individual hair stood on end; a
shiyering feeling crawling up and
down his back; his eyes protruded
from his head: altogether, he was a
picture of abject terror. Suddenly
his tongue was loosened and he
screamed, For heavens sake take
Mary! She's better prepared than I
am" Since that eventful night the
man has joined an easy going church.
which is one step progressive, and he
only swears when be sees old Brindle

The Apple Worm.

Mr.. p. III. Foster sends to the ,Sciefl-
tiJic american his mode OF destroying
the apple worm: After the worm
has entered the fruit and accom-
plished its damage, the time arrives
when he has to leave the fruit and
hide itself in a quiet, secure position
to undergo tho transition from the
larva TO the pupa state, which requi-
res, in the early part of the season,
eight or ten days; after this time the
miller is Matched and is again ready
to besiege the fruit with its sting.
The insect being two-brooded in
this climate at least, IL not disturbed
has an aggregating force to do mis-
chief the second time. The progeny
for the succeeding year have alone to
depend on the security OF this second
generation oflarve. As they may often
be found in the bark OF apple trees
during winter, my plan Of destruction
Is, about the first OF July to take
WOODEN rags large enough to wrap
around the trees, and say four inches
wide. Each week look over the
trees and destroy the worms secret
ed under the rags, and wherever 1
find them, until the fruit is off the
trees. Ihave all the green fruit, of
every kind, carefully picked up as
soon as it falls, thereby destroying
many OF the curculio as well as the
apple worms. In future / intend to

servedly famous. There are other
distinguished Senators whose wives
are proud OF their distinction, but
who do not exactly comprehend how
it was attained. They are not with
out valuable influence on their hus-
bands, and do much by social talents
to promote their success; but it is
not always that these estimable ladies
read their husbands speeches; or
would comprehend them if they did.
The politics of these wives are, Of
course, the politics of their lords; but
they are entertained in the female
bosom in rather an indefinite way, and
are taken pretty much On trust. Mr..
Wade was fortunate in a wife who
sympathized with him entirely in the
opinions which, all his life, he so
stoutly entertained.
We have said that wives who have
been the valuable assistants OF pub
lie men in the discharge of public
duties have not been many, but per-
haps they have been more numerous
than is generally suspected. At any
rate, it is matter worth looking into
by the careful student of biography.
The investigation would probably
disclose many other instances like
that which we have mentioned, Of
community Of tastes and of toll.
Sometimes it is the wife who devotes
her time and strength in this way;
sometimes it is the daughter. In the
case of Herschel, the astronomer, it
was a sister. More than one man has
probably admitted that he would
have been nobody but for the help
and encouragement which he found
at home.-N. Y. Tribune.
