NOW TO Judge The weather.

The eoors of the sky at different times
are a wonderful guidance. Not only does
clear sunset presage fair weather, but there
are other tints which speak with clearness
and accuracy. A bright yellow in the eve
hing indicates wind, pale yellow, wet I;
a neutral gray constitutes a favorable sign
IN the morning-an uniayorable one in the
evening, The clouds are full ofmeaning in
themselves, lfthey are soft, underlined and
feathery, the weather will be fine; if the
edges are hard, sharp and definite, it will
be foul. Generally speaking, any deep, un-
usual hues betoken wind and rain while
more quiet and moderate tlnls bespeak fair
weather. Simple as these maxims are,
the British Board of Trade has thought lit u,
publish them for the use Of seaiaring men.

A VERY successful way of DESTROYING
ants is BY taking a vial or saucer, nearly
filled with sweet or olive oil, and sink.
ing it in the ground near the ant hill OF
their runway, 20 that the rim il about
even with the surface of the soil. The
ants are very fond of the oil and will
seek 1t, but 1t is sure death to them. We
recommend the use of coal oil diluted in
water to destroy the insects. This sub.
stance seems to b very destructive to
insect life, and its use for this purpose ia
rapidly extending. A tablespoonful to
two gallons of water il the ordinary
mixture, and 1t is said will kill mealy
bugs and all the insects that ordinarily
infest plants. The oil il sometimes used
