How Thunder Showers Come Tin.

5 In order to convey more definite idea
OF our theory we will choose O certain
locality which may serve the purpose of
diagram to our demonstration, and this
locality shall be the region of West river.
This river takes its rise among the for.
ests nearthe summit of the Green mount
aims, at q height of some 1000 feet
above the level of the sea, and, flowing
southerly forty or fifty miles, empties
into the Connecticut river about two
miles north from the southern boundary
of the State.
During hot summer day the sides of
the deep valley Of this river reek with
intense heat, and cause o flow of moist
air upward toward the summit of the
mountain region, from the valley of the
Connecticut, and also from the sea. This
moist air, meeting with the general cur
rent from the southwest, piles up ON i'm
mense mass of cumulous cloud of MANY
square miles in extent. So long as the
intense heat prevails this cloud increases
in size, grows blacker with its dense va
Por, and casts gloomy, lurid glare over
the face OF nature, darker than that
of any eclipse. The vapor, pushed by
the ascending currents of heated air, at
tains great height above the sea, where
the temperature is very low. But final
ly, at that hour Of the afternoon when
the heat begins to decline, the accumu-
lated vapors, no longer augmented or
sustained by heated air from the valleys
below, fall in rain. Science

A Fish Story.

AS q gentleman was fishing in the
mill-dam below Winchester, Va, he ac-
cidentally threw his line across q strong
white duck, which, suddenly turning
round, twisted the gut around her own
neck, and fixed the hook of the dropper
fly in her breast. Thus entangled and
hooked, she soon broke off the gut
above the dropper, and sailed down the
stream with the end of the fly trailing
behind her. She had not proceeded far
before trout of about o pound and o
half took the fly effectually. Then Com
menced q struggle as extraordinary as
ever was witnessed-a duck at the drop
per and large trout at the end of the
fly. Whenever the trout exerted itself
the terror of the duck was very conspicu-
GUS it huttered its wings and dragged
the fish. When the trout was more qui-
ct the duck evidently gave way, and suf-
fered herself to be drawn under some
bushes, where the shortness of the gut
did not allow the trout to shelter herself
The ducks head was frequently drawn
under the water. BY chance, however,
the gut got across branch which hung
downward into the water; and the duck,
taking advantage of the purchase which
this gave her, dragged her opponent
from his hole and obliged him to show
his head above water. Then it became
a contest Of life and death. The trout
was in its last agonies, and the duck in
very weak state, when the gut broke
and suffered them to depart their own

platter in the closet which she kept for
state occasions, told the girl to take that
platter with the picture on, and then
went on pinning her hair with hairpins,
and finally went down to breakfast. AS
she was pouring out the coffee. she
thought she detected an odor of sanctity
and fried chrome, and she looked at the
meat plate and turned pale. There was
her wooden plaque, full of boiling grease
and floating sausage, and through the
grease she could see her beautiful oil
painting struggling up under difficulties.
There was comminglng of Alpine
scenery and links of sausage that the
artist never intended, and the lady took
the plaque in her hand and went to the
kitchen, where she Drained the cook.
There was nothing else to do. Ladies'
who have plaques, and any lady is liable
to have them, as they are said to be
catching, should watch the cook.-

HOW N woman Roads n Newspaper
According to Mrs. Gertrude Garrison
this is how she does it "She takes it
up hurriedly and begins to scan it over
rapidly, as though she was hunting some
particular thing, but she is not. She is
merely taking in the obscure paragraphs,
which, she believes, were put in the out
of-the-way places for the sake of keep
ing her from seeing them. AS she fin
ishes each one her countenance bright
ems with the comfortable reflection that
she has outwitted the editor and the
whole race of men, for she cherishes O.
vague belief that newspapers are the en-
emies Of her sex, and editors her chief
oppresSOrs. SIZE never reads the head
lines, and the huge telegraph heads she
never sees. She is greedy for local
news, and devours it with the keenest
relish. Marriages and deaths are always
interesting reading to her, and adver-
tisements are exciting and stimu-
lating. She cares but little for
printed jokes unless they reflect ridicule
upon the men, and then she delights in
them and never forgets them. She pays
particular attention to anything inclosed
in quotation marks, and considers it
rather better authority than any thing
frst-handed. The columns in which the
editor airs his opinions, in loaded hiftt-
lutin, she rarely reads. Views are of no
Importance in her estimation, but facts
are everything. She generally reads
the poetry. She doesn't always care for
it, but makes practice Of reading it,
because she thinks she ought to. She
reads stories, and sketches, and para
graphs indiscriminately, and believes
every word of them. Finally, after she
has read all she intends to, she lays the
paper down with an air of disappoint-
ment, and a haf-contemptuous gesture,
which says very plainly that she thinks
all newspapers miserable failures, but is
certain that if she had chance she
could make the only perfect newspaper
tho world had ever seen.

Ants

The agricultural ant is pattern OF
neatness. The most minute particles of
dirt are carefully removed, and the
whole body frequently and thoroughly
cleaned especially after eating and sleep
ing. They assist each other in the gen
eral cleansing, and the attitude of the
ant under operation is one of intense
satisfaction, perfect picture of muscular
surrender and ease. An ant has been
seen to kneel down before another, and
thrust forward the head under the face
of the other, and lie motionless, express
ing the desire to be cleaned; the other
ant understood this and went to work
Sometimes this is combined with acrobatic
feats in which these ants excel, jumping
about and clinging in a remarkable fash
ion to blades of grass. Sometimes the
cleansing ant hangs downward from the
grass, and to her the ant operated upon
clings, reaching over and up with great
agility to submit to her friends offices.
Evidently moisture from the mouth is
used for Washing

Oriental Women.

AS time progresses, the condition of
the women of the Orient rapidly i'm
proves. Japan has taken the lead in
this respect, and day Japanese women
occupy position and exert an influence
that few of them would have dared
dream of a quarter of q century ago.
China is being taught the lesson, though
more slowly than Japan, and women are
entering to q limited extent into the
world of business and politics. Mer-
chants of Canton, who would have Sc
cluded their wives with the utmost care
a decade or two ago, now permit them to
be seen, end, what is more, they allow
them to converse with other men. They
travel with them on the steamers that
navigate the Chinese rivers and waters
along the coast, and it is said that some
OF them have gone so far as to allow
their wives to sit with them at the pub
lie tables Similar progress is observ-
able among the Siamese and other East
ern nations. The world still moves.

Tom Ochfltree and Jem Mace.

just after the Coburn-M Mace fiasco, and

was leaning against the bar number of

oussine politics and prize fights in an
other part Of the room. Mace's wonder
full expertness in the use of his hands
came up, and some one offered to bet q
basket of champagne that no man, un-
less O professional, could got in O blow
on Mace's face. Ochiltree took the bet,
and walked deliberately over to Mace
and slapped his jaws. The astonished
prize fighter looked at Tom for moment
and then lit out from the shoulder. A
mass of red hair, corpulent body, legs
and boots all mingled in indescribable
confusion, few through the door and
rolled out over the brick banquette into
the street. While sympathetic bell boys
and laughing friends were Strengthening
Tom out and patching his fragments to-

to Mace the circumstances of the bet.
"Oh ! it was that way, was itP IfPd
