How to be Weatherwise.

John H. Tice the weather prophet st. Louis,
gives the following directions for those who
pire to he weatherwise:
As everybody is interested in the weather, so
each one should qualify himself OF herself TO read
the sky, and to interpret the sky, wind and
clouds.
An intensely blue and serene sky indicates
heavy rains and severe storms in from twelve to
forty-eight hours. A gray, hay sky indicates
continuous dry and generally hot weather.
4 southeast wind indicates the existence of a
low barometer, if not storm centre in the north
west The aspect of the sky and clouds will tell
whether il means mischief or not. An almost
immediate cessation of rain may he expected As
as the northwest wind sets in. 1t matters
not what the aspects of the sky are when the
west wind sets in: fair weather will ensue, and
continue from three TO four days The passage
of storm centre from the Gulf and southeast
ward of our locality is partial exception only
far thit il clears of more tardily. There real
ly are but two primary kinds of clouds, namely,
% those that float at a great height above the
earth's surface and (2) those that float low.
Those that float high, say from six to nine miles,
are of n fbrOus and gauZy structure; they are
hence called cirrus that is, hair or tuft clouds.
The clouds that form in the lower strata of the
atmosphere, say from one to three miles above
the earth, are irregular IL structure, and of
more or less nodular form. They are called the
cumulus, that is, the heap or pile cloud.
While the cirrus remains nebular i'll structure
and indistinctly defined against the sky, no rain
need he expected Under the low barometer,
however, they develop by accrction, become
smooth and compact in structure and much en-
larged in volume. They now sink lower and he
come sharply defined against the blue sky. Rain
NAV now be expected especially if they unite
with the cumulus forming the nimbus or rain
cloud. If the cirrus, instead of forming the MIN
bus, reascends it dissipates, and no rain need he
expected until it lowers again, which generally
is in twenty four hours.

Channel Hands.

The raw winds of late autumn often produce
in the hands of those who are much expored to
them that roughness and cracking of the skin
known as chaPping. If nothing is done to pre-
vent, and the person is obliged To have his hands
frequently wet and dried, the cracks will often
get deep and he painful. Corn husking is FRI
quently accompanied by sore hands from this
cause. As both precaution and cure for chap
ped hands we have used the following with ben
eft: Wash the hands, and the face also if it is
inclined to chap, with Borax Water, and after
wards rub with an ointment made by melting
Mutton-tallow and then gradually adding an
equal quantity Of Glycerine, stirring the two
together until cool. For the hands, this mixture
can he best applied at night, using it freely, and
warming il in by the fire, after which an old
pair of gloves can be put on to keep the bed
clothes from being soiled, and also make the skin
of the hands softer. An excellent Glycernc ONT
ment for chapped hands is made by melting.
with a gentle heat, two ounces of Sweet Oil of
Almonds, half an ounce of Spermaceti, and one
drachm of White Wax. When melted, remove
from the stove, and add gradually one ounce of
Glycerine, and stir until the mixture is cold.
The ointment can he scented with any perfume
to suit the fancy. Keep in wide-necked bottles

AREcoNDITE HISTORICAL POINT.
Andres Capture Asserted 10 be an Answer q
Prayer.

The Rev. Dr. Daniel Steele gives in the Chris
tidH idrocdte the following explanation of the
capture of Major Andre:
AT the centennial of Andres capture and ex-
ecution. the fact that this important event was
in answer 10 PRAYER, should be widely proclaim
ed. The facts are these: On the voyage of Ma
jOr Andre up the Hudson To meet the traitor, Ar
mold. and arrange the terms of his reasonable
surrender of the fortress of West Point, he re-
quired the aid of his private secretary in the
preparation of the papers. When the secret was
disclosed TO the secretary, pious Young man
and member of one of John Wesley's societies,
he was struck with horror at the stupendous in
Equity of Andres scheme, yet he performed the
required clerical service demanded by his supe-
rior As soon Us Andre left the Vulture to meet
Arnold ON the night of September 81, 17s0, the
secretary retired to his room overwhelmed with
sadness at the thought of the great wrong to the
colonies which was about TO be committed. He
saw that the iniquitous design was to cut off
New England from the other colonies by the
British possession of the Hudson and Lake
Champlan, and then to conquer both parts of
the country in detail. He saw that this would
INTENSITY and prolong the war, bringing ruin up
on the colonies, and loss of life TO many thou
sands of British soldiers. He fell upon his knees
and spent the night in earnest prayer to God Al
mighty to interpose for the defeat of that stu
pendons treason which Andre and Arnold We're
then plotting, at the foot of the mountain called
Long Glove. He was probably the only pray
ing man on earth who was cognizant of that
great crime. which was to strangle our infant
republic. On that prayer hung the destinies of
the American nation. The prayer was heard,
the plot was foiled. We have all hung with
breathless interest over the account of Andres
arrest on the neutral ground, when he ineau-
tiously declared that he belonged to the lower
party thinking that his captors were Tories,
because they wore the refugee uniform. This
slight mistake cost his life and saved the repub-
lie God was answering the prayer of the pious
secretary Let his name he praised.
my authority for this account, which CON-
inundated to Mr. Bancroft to be incorporated
into his history of Arnold's treason, is found in
the biography of the Rev. Ebenezer F. Newell,
of the New England Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. He received these facts
from the secretary himself, in New Brunswick,
about the year 1900. The Rev. E. +. Newell

Proving too Much.

Walter Savage LandOr used TO relate an anec-
dote of one of our judges. Being on circuit, two
old men were brought before him as witnesses
and, according TO custom, he began to chat with
them, among other things, about their age, for
the purpose of giving moral lesson TO the young
barristers.
"Well, my good man." said he 10 the first wit

"Therer cried his lordship, turning to the

sobriety is! The witness looks as though he

The barristers nodded assent. In his turn,
another witness came forward, who looked par
tieularly hale and robust.
"And how old are you, friend!' inquired the
judge.
iNinety-fve, my lord, was the reply.

Treatment of Epizootic Influenza.

/ should very much like TO occupy a few
lines of your valuable space describing the meth
cd of treatment used by the majority of practical
hOrsemen in England in all cases of influenza
epizOoty, which will doubtless prove beneficial
to many of your readers who may not be located
near large city like New York, where the best
is always on hand at the shortest notice. The
treatment is simple, inexpensive, and easily ap-
piled.
When the disease first makes its appearance,
clothe the horse well with hood and blankets,
attending particularly TO the stopping of all
draughts; bandage after dressing, and wei.
handwriting, taking them of at night. Let
the diet be hot mash three times day, composed
principally of bran, adding two quarts of good
old oats to each mash. or substituting pint Of
stewed linseed in the evening mash, with an
ounce of nitre every alternate day; Ill all cases
avoiding Indian meal. In addition to the above,
provide yourself with a quantity of vinegar
mix il with rs much water, if you wish; put il
into q pitcher; heat piece of iron, say the
kitchen poker; put il into the vinegar, and hold
under the animals nGsc. Do this as often as
You can, taking care to wash the nostrilS out
every time.
In some cases, when the attack is bad, the dis
ease not only shows itself by nasty discharge
from the nostrils, but also by liberation of the
throat which shows itself externally by swell
ing and the animal refusing its food. To meet
this case, get the following ingredients mix
well together, and apply once day, well rub
bling in each time, commencing ut the root of the
ear and downwaris, 20 the root of the tongue ::
Four ounces of sweet oil, four ounces of am
monia. and eight drachms of iodine. This SIM
pie composition is invaluable as a liniment for
very many other things. Rest is advisable,
more especially on account Of the temperature,
which Ought to he kept even possible, and
as warm. In ease of necessity, when the wealth
er is not cold, with careful driving aud good
management, many horses pull through without
being laid up; hut not without giving their con
stitution good shaking, and leaving it so i'm
paired that in many eases the animal becomes
comparatively worthless.
conclude by saying that the above treatment
will cure infiuenza-and epizooty is nothing but
influenza. If properly and attentively applied,
| it will cure as quickly and effectually as any
thing | ever heard of, and, moreover, there is
laid no foundation for other diseases. In some
cases. the animal stocks when standing; Civ

Winter Chickens.

What we mean by this term is, chickens that
are ready TO sell in January, February, and
March. Dealers, up To New Years. divide
dressed poultry in two classes, fowl and chick
en- or old and Young stock. After this date
the two grades are usually merged into g fowls
and winter chickens take the place of the second
grade mentioned above. This is the custom, at
least, in some Of the large Eastern markets.
Winter chickens are usually Matched in the
months of August, September, and October.
The August matched chicks have generally three
months of fine weather in which To get a start.
hut il is very difficult tn raise the later Matched
broods, north of the latitude of New York City,
without special appliances for doing. The
cold weather is very apt TO come upon them he
fore they sufficiently well feathered to en-
durc the Sudden change. As result, they will
he permanently stunted in their growth. or will
suffer catarTh and cruup. We couid not advise
any one 10 attempt raising chicks at this season
of the year who intends 10 keep large stock of
older birds through the winter. Ii they run to-
sether they will interfere in various ways. The
young ones need warm, rocmy houses, apart
from the older ones. They also need To be fed
more frequently and with different food. They
need, in fact, extra care. Indeed, the late
Matched broodS, from October forward, need
special attention.
FancierS are thinking about the fall and win
ter trade, and farmers and poultercrs ought to
be thinking about getting their ilOcks into mar
ketabe condition, and the layers shOuld be III
duced To begin work early possible. Now,
if this work is not properly attended TO, the lit
tie half-naked chicks viii very likely be left to
shiver and die in the wintry winds and cold
storms of November and December. Many n
poultry-Inan has been swamped by attempting
too much in This direction. Our advice is,
don't do il, unless, of course, you have plenty
of warm houses, large runs aside from those
guired for your general flock, and also assistants
to help You with extra work. Having these ap-
pliances winter chickens profitable, since
they command from to 10 cents per pound
above the price paid for spring and summer
Matched chicks.
We have seen some very fine capOns from July
and August Matched chicks, ready TO sell late in
spring. OF course, the early maturing breeds
are best for this purpose at this season. 1t must
not be supposed, however, that poultry dealers
can be induced to buy .'winter chicken - for
"spring chicken or "springers,T as they are
called, as a correspondent suggests. The latter
must not, in the large markets, weigh over 81
pounds per pair. They should range from 81 to
- pounds per pair to command the highest
price Over this weight they pass for winter
chickens, and bring at least 10 cents per pound
less. Spring chickens are not wanted before as
paragus time, and hence cannot he Matched much
before February or March.-Poui;ry Torld
