Mr.. vENNoR has issued another weather
manifesto. He says: "The spring will be
fairly early, hot and dry, and the mid sum-

to be open, dry and fine. There is likely to
be great deal of sickness during the year,
but the weather-except in few isolated
sections-will be favorable to agricultural
pursuits. The winter of 1882 bids fair to be
open and generally mild, with but few, and
those short-lived, storm periods"

to use them so that they may do the most
good, runs as follows: &" Most people know
the benefit of lemonade before breakfast, but

village Life in Western India.

In this new work on the Industrial
Arts Of India" Mr. G. III. Birdwood says
of the typical village
''Outside the entrance of the single
village street, on an exposed rise Of
ground, the hereditary potter sits by
his wheel, molding the swift-revolving
clay by the natural curves OF his hands.
At the back of the houses, which form
the low, Irregular street, there are two
or three looms Ut work in blue and scar
let and gold, the frames hanging he
tween the acacia trees, the yellow flow
ers of which drop fast on the webs US
they are being woven. In the street the
brass and copper smiths are hammeriug
away at their pots AID pans, and further
down, in the veranda OF the rich mans
house, is the jeweler working ri lees and
gold mohrs into fair lewelry, gold and
silver earrings, aud round tires like the
moon, bracelets and tablets md nose
rings, and tinkling ornaments for the
feet, taking his designs from the fruits
and flowers around him, or from the
traditional forms represented in the
paintings and carvings of the great tenn
Pile, which rose over the grove of man
goes and palms al the end of the street,
above the Undiscovered village tank. At
$50 or 4:30 in the afternoon the whole
street is lighted up by the moving robes
OF the women going down to draw water
from the tank, each with two or three
water jars on her head, and so, while
they were going and returning III single
file, the scene glows like Titan oaAgas.
and moves like the stately processlon Of
the Panathenaie frieze. Later the men
drive in the mild gray kline from the
moaning plain, the looms are folded up,
the coppersmiths are silent, the elders
gather III the gate, the lights begin to
glimmer in the fast-falling darkness, the
feasting and music are heard on
every side, and late into the night the
songs are sung from the Rarnayana OF
Mahabharata. the next morning, with
sunrise, after the simple additions and
alterations performed in the open air be-
fore the houses, the same day begins
again. This is the daily life going on
all over Western India in the village
communities of the Dakhan, among a
people happy il their simple manners
and frugal way Of life, and in tire culture
derived from the grand epics of a relig-
ion in which they live and move and
have their daily being, and in which the
highest expression OF their literature,
art and civilization has been stereotyped
| for 5000 years.

she could take the choice of having her

The first day or two after the birth of
our child is more or less indistinct in our
memory. 1t doesn't seem to be very
definite or fixed. Floating through our
wild waste Of brain there is chaotic
panorama, and there seems to be nothing
but mixture of events. We see in our
minds eye an excited young man prane-
lug wildly through the moonlight down
town. The solemn hush of midnight
seems to pervade every thing. The
young man seems to hav dressed him
