Cloud-land

While boys and girls are studying
nature in the forms Of plants, and the
instincts of beasts and birds, they should
not forget to look up and admire the
ever-changing beauty of the clouds.
Nearly all of you have amused your
selves by tracking the forms of giants,
and castles, and many other things in
the summer sky, and have tried to
fancy pretty tales about them before
they disappeared. Perhaps you think
that learned men have never troubled
their wise heads about the matter.
Yet, after long patient watching, me-
teorologists. as such students are called,
have learned great deal about the clods
and given names to the different kinds.
The delightfully."- soft and dowDy cloud
which looks like n great mountain of
cotton, or white of egg. whipped to a
froth, is called Cumulus, a word mean
ing "A heap. These heap-clouds make
the best pictures, for they go floating
about taking all manner of shapes,
which fade and change
like the figures in IA dissIlviug view
Sailors call the Cumulus, the "Ball of
Cotton" and it is known also as the
"Day-Cloud," because it melts away
at night. You have all noticed it, and
fancied that you would like to have
such a soft, fluffy thing for a pillow,
but you would not have thought 50 if
you had known that the cloud was
cold and watery, being made Of the
vapor which the sun had drawn up
from the oceans and streams. The
Cumulus does not rise very high, and
far above it, in colder regions of the
sky, is seen the graceful Cirrus, or Curl
cloud. This is long and wavy, like a
lock of hair, or an Ostrich-plume, and
and sailors call it the Mares tall

Climate and Intellect.

A great deal has been said about
the effect of climate upon intellect,
and'not much of the effect of in
tellect upon climate, or, to be more
exact, of the power in mental ac-
tivity to resist or control climate
Influences. Some philosophers have
held that there is an occult sympathy
between mind and matter, and that a
great accumulation of mind upon one
point-that is to say, the direction of a
strong current Of desire for or against
some operation of nature-would be
effective. For instance, il all the people
in wide district suffering under
drought should unite In a common
longing, a sincere mental struggle, for
rain, that nature would feel the subtle
influence through all its being, and rain
would come. Unfortunately the expert.
nent hes never been tried, for common
consent at any moment never has been
attained-there is always somebody
who has hay out.
But this at least we can say, that il is
safer TO have the desire of the general
mind in the right direction. Now two
of the vulgar notions of this latitude
are that We need "bracing up,' and
that snow is a useful product, conse-
quently that the more severe cold
weather we have and the more snow.
the better off we are. And people go on
believing this totheir deaths every year.
A. to snow, there isa sentimental notion
of its beauty as well as of its utility.
And a good deal can be said for it from
an artistic point of view. But We are
not placed in this stern world merely to
indulge our consciousness. We are put
here to make the most of our powers,
I'm view of a hereafter; and long life Is a
duty, besides being, in the Old Tesla
ment view. a reward of virtue. II is

The editor adds that it is well known

hence the resistance of the economy to

But il is also well known that at

greater humidity; miasmatic and mala-

Hints for Washing Dishes.

One of the most wearisome domestic
tasks which falls to the housewife doing
her own work, is the 'never ending,
still beginning" washing Of dishes.
1t is often real pleasure to prepare
dainty, palatable meal; a well earned
satisfaction in viewing the work of ones
hands in the light, sweet loaves Of
white or brown bread, the roast flesh or
fowl done to a turn, the perfect cake,
quivering custards, etc. But not one
of these toothsome viands can be
brought to pass without the aid of va
rious pans, spoons, cups, ETC., all to be
cleaned for, perhaps, immediate Use
again. They must be washed by hands
already weary-fOr modern invention,
fertile as 1t Is, has not yet, to my
knowledge, produce an automatic disls
washer and drier. Ii il disceuraging,
and few things sooner bring the tired
housekeeper's spirits down to zero les
pecially If the mercury has already gone
down to that point, than a kitchen
table full of sticky, greasy, unwasl ed
dishes, greeting her as she rises from
breakfast or dinner, and in addition to
the dishes used upon the family table.
a very great help is to wash as you
20. Have your pan with hot water,
and cloth, handy on II table, and as fast
rs you dish articles from the stove or
range, wash the cooking vessel. Rinse
out frying pans, kettles, etc, with very
hot water TO take off the grease. Chain
dish>cloths readily take off whatever
sticks to the sides of stew-pans or pots,
or common clam shell may answer
the same purpose. Az nearly all cook
ing utensils are more easily washed
when warm, washing as you go, saves
time for the dining-r,om work, after
the meal, besides setting the: kitchen
sooner in order. Keep several thick
holders near the stove, to save your
hands land towelsl, in lifting hot ket-

were such days in January last. The
snow had disappeared, the sun shone

but for the chill that came down from
the vast snow-fields of Canada, where
cold and snow are worshipped and
feted all winter. And yet, after such
experience, people, convinced, go back

age is discouraging.
