The Weather.

There is a good deal that might be
said about the weather just now, but
whether it is worth saying or not is de-
batable question. The weather prophets
are already too numerous for the good of
the country. We had become accustom-
ed to the goose bone, the ground hog, the
musk rat, the wild geese and the oldest
inhabitant, and they had ceased to dis
turb our serenity But with the advent
of Old Probabilities, Nennor, Mansill, the
n. 7. Herald, and host of lesser proph-
cts, the weather has become terribly
mixed, and the predictions are so CON
fusing that one does not know whether to
put on a linen buster or an ulster. If
prompt measures are not taken for the
suppression Of these evil-starred proph-
cts we shall soon be sleighing in July and
haying in December. If we could only
rest in the comfortable belief of the phil
osophical Dutchman that the weather of
to-day, for example, would be ':joost the
same" no matter what Nennor ct al. had
predicted we cannot These chaps
must have some influence with the clerk
of the weather. or they would not be so
positive in their statements. And the
trouble is there are so many in the bust
ness, each one wanting to run the
weather on his private schedule, and the
polite clerk Of the weather trying to
oblige them all, that the outcome is non
descript. Now take this season 1t is
not winter; it certainly is not summer
nor is it fall. At present writing it mi ght
pass for late in the spring: but our peo-
pie do not like to 60 to ploughing until
after the ice crop is harvested.
Something certainly ought to be done.
But what, and how! Why not fit out an
Arctic expedition, put all the weather
prophets on board, and send them to reg
ulate the weather in the vicinity of the
North Pole. They couldn't do any harm
up there, and if the expedition could be
sent off at once we might still have an old
fashioned winter, with its Jingle of sleigh
bells, and the lumber men and ice men
would rejoice and grow rich.
