AN instance of how the Sunday Journal is
extending its circulation: A town in Indiana,
where the Sunday edition has not been hith-
erto delivered, sends in an order for seventy
five copies, with the promise that it will be
made one hundred in a short time. The Sun
day journal was never so popular as now, and
for the new year the arrangements for its news

Wing DraDery,

The wing drapery increases in size and
depth. Some modistes now use four breadths
for these two wings, arranging two breadths
in each wing, placing them in plaitS their
whole length and allowing them to fall from
about three-eighths of a yard below the belt
on the tournure to the foot of the skirt. Two
breadths of single width goods are then wide
enough for the straight drapery, which is
confined to a very narrow space on the back
breadth of the foundation skirt. The wings
require deep facing up the sloped sides, and
are folded under their entire depth ut the top
where they meet on the placket hole.

signs of Rain.

DR.. Edward Jenner, the famous English
physician, was once asked by a friend to take
a long walk next day, Dr. Jenner declined
on the plea that it was going to rain. He
made a rhyming list of the signs whereby he
looked for rain to come. He based it on the
actions of animals. Afterwards Charles Oar
win, the great naturalist, watched the am
mails named and found that before rain
they acted in very case in the manner told
bv the verses 1t will interest our boys and
girls, who like to study nature on their
own account, to watch for the signs them
selves:
The hollow winds begin to blow,
The clouds are black. the glass is low,
The SCOT falls down, the spaniels sleep,
And spiders from their cobwebs peep.
Last night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon in halos hid her head;
The boding shepherd heaves sigh,
For, see! q rainbow spans the sky.
The walls are damp, the bitches smell;
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel.
Hank, how the chairs and tables crack!
Old Betty's nerves are on the rack.
Loud quacks the duck, the peacocks cry;
The distant hills are seeming nigh.
How restless are the snorting swine!
The busy flies disturb the kline
Low DER the grass the swallow wings;
The cricket, too, how sharp he singsl
Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws,
Sits wiping DER her whiskered jaws.
Through the clear streams the fishes rise,
And nimbly catch the incautious flies.
The glowworms, numerous and light,
Ilumed the dewy dell last night.
At dusk the squalid toad was seen
Hopping and crawling DER the green.
The whirling dust the wind obeys,
And in the rapid eddy plays.
The frog has changed his yellow vest,
And in "A russell coat is dressed.
