Feathered Foretellers of storms.

From the Chicago News.
 The saw like note of the great titmouse is said to foretell rain; that of the blue-tit cold.
 Various proverbs would seem to indicate that the cry of the owl, If heard in bad weather, foretells a change.
 Herons, says an old author, flying up and down in the evening as if doubtful where to rest, ''presage some evil approaching westh- ern-a legend as old as Virgil.
 In Germany dwelIers in the country lack faith in the skylark as announcing fine weather, but when the lark and the cuckoo sing together they know summer has come.
 In Hampshire swans are believed to be hatched in thunder storms, and it is said that those on the Thames have an instinc- tive precedence of floods. Before heavy rains they raise their nests.
 In the south of France so much store is set by the wisdom of the magpie that if if builds it's nest on the summit of tree the country folk expect season of calm, but if lower down winds and tempests are sure tc follow.
 The abhorrence in which mariners hold the swallow like storm petrel is we'll known. Its appearance is believed to denote wild wealth CT. This little bird is the Mother Carey'f chicken of sailors, and is alse called storm l finch and water witch.
 Concerning gulls in general children who live by the sea say: "Seagull, seagull, sit or the sand; it's never good weather while you're on the land;" and fisher folk know \ that when the seamews fiy out early and fa1 l to seaward fair weather may be expected. | When rocks fly high and seem to imitat, birds of prey by soaring, sweeping and fall | ing it is almost certain sign of cominl storm Staying in the vicinity of the rock cry, returning at midday or coming to roos l in groops, are also said to be omens to tn like effect.
 The constant iteration of the green wood
 pecker's cry before the storm has given it tn
 names of rain bird, rain pie end rain flow

REPUBLICAN GAINS.


 The Republicans have many and strong reasons for encouragement. Seven of these reasons are well set forth by the Philadelphia press, as follows:
 First. The Democrats have abandoned every State which cast it's vote for Blaine and Logan four years ago. They have no chance of carrying one. They know it. All feel it. Democratic papers have dropped their talk about any northwestern or any Pacific State voting for Cleveland.
 Second. Just as Oregon settled California and Nevada, so Vermont and Maine have settled Connecticut. The Republican vote Is all there. Its losses were over four years ago. The mugwump then is free trader now. He voted against Blaine then. He votes for free trade now. The name changes. The act is the same. Such trans- fer as there is comes from the Democratic to the Republican party, from Democratic pro- tectionists who stay protectionists and vote for Harrison and Morton. They put Com necticut, with reasonable certainty, on the Republican side. There is much to be done, but the tide is that way.
 Third. Harrison has grown stronger in Indiana every day. Lees and less is heard of Democratic chances there, more and more of Republican certainties. Even the correspondents of papers like the New York Times plainly feel the odds are with the Re publican party. Indiana may now be count ed as substantially as sure as Connecticut. Fourth. The Democratic leaders are con- centrating the fight on New York and New Jersey. All their money goes there, and there is the center of their fight. They fear it is hard one, but on 1t they are putting all their strength, and for it they are ready to sell all they have.
 Fifth. In these States, to which the great fight of 1888 is fast narrowing, all the change in men, in votes and in political feeling is for the Republicans. The set is their way. The agitation of the tariff view has held them; it has hurt the Democrats. Both in New York and New Jersey the great local features of the fight tell for the Republicans, high license in both, the Hill split in New York, good registry law in New Jersey. Sixth. The one taking cry the Democratic l and mugwump press had against the Repub- l lican party, 'free whiskey," has fallen flat. It is no longer heard. It was too thin to wash through long fight. Harrison's letter tore to rags what was left of it. It has day | by day had less and less weight in the two States which are the real field of the fight | the pinch of the bent in this great house raising for Harrison and protection. It is succeeded by valid charge of free whisky | against the Mills bill, which will grow ! through all the rest of the campaign. Seventh. Each day proves the tremen dous strength of the feeling aroused by th' Presidents challenge to protection. Thii I feeling was slow in rising. For six months after the December message 1t was not felt a most expected. But it has overspread tht 1 land at last. It has caused more politica conversions than any issue against the war It holds the ground; it has forced the fight ing, and in the good Providence whicl watches over our good land, it will win.

EDITOKlAL NOTES.

A Houlton (Maine) clergyman has been req fused naturalization, the judge giving this reason; -It has not been my practice to ad- init any person to citizenship, particularly it he be literary man, unless he has made himself familiar with the constitution of the United States. You can go and when you have read the constitution you can again ap- ply to this court for citizenship" The eler- gyrnan was Prohibitionist.

Stormcock is a provincial name shared by this bird and the missel thrush, the latter often singing through gales of wind and rain. Storm bird is also applied to the 6eld- fare.
 To Scotch shepherds the drumming of the snipe indicates dry weather and frost st night, and Gilbert White remarks that wood cocks have been observed to be remarkably istless against snowy, foul weather, while, according to another author, their early arri- val and continued abode ''foreteIls liberal harvest"

THE STANDARD OF LONELINESS. Something About the BelleA of Differ
 ent Races.

Various, says the London Standard, are
 the opinions held by wide diversity of races
 regarding their beauties, though it is often
 difficult for people bred under another sky
 to share their enthusiasm. The Circassian
 women, who have sort of conventional rep
 utation for lovelinesss, are affirmed by those
 who know them best to be far from worthy
 of their celebrity. Short legs, glaring red
 hair, faces so long and narrow that their
 heads seem to have been squeezed between
 two boards and flattened, noses out of pro-
 portion to the rest of the features, and com
 pIexion of dull lead like hue, scarcely con-
 stitute beauty according to our standard.
 The Moors and the Tunisisn Jews regard cor
 pulence as absolutely essential to beauty,
 and the inmates of rich men's harems are
 stuffed with nutritious food, like Strasbourg
 geese, for the market. The Chinese poets
 sing of deformed feet as ''golden lilies," and
 tue rocking of their women in attempting to
 walk the "waving of willow" Other
 races have equally odd ideas of what oonsti-
 tutes loveliness, for they ''improve" their
 persons by fattening their foreheads, tattoo
 ing their skins, cutting off their fingers, fl-
 ing their teeth or dyeing them black, blue or
 tartan, painting their bodies, slitting their
 ears, compressing their waists, putting stones, bone or metal through their lips,
 cheeks or ears, and in a dozen other ways
 trying to enhance the poor prentice work of
 nature. A Felstah lady dyes her hands and
 feet with hennah, stains her teeth alternately
 blue, yellow and purple, one here and there being left of it's natural color. pencils her eyelids with sulphuret of antimony and dyes her locks with indigo. The Hydah woman inserts plug of wood or ivory through her lower lip until it presents the hideous ap- pearanoe of 8 heshy shelf over her chin. A Chinese or Siamese lady cultivates long nails. Hottentot belle cannot get her nose flat enough, or Persian beauty hers high enough. On the northwest coast of Ameri- ca no reproach is more bitter than for one Indian girl to tell another that 'Your moth CT was too lazy to fatten your head" Tat tooing is almast universal among half civil | lized or savage races; in New Zealand the
 Maori women. before they began to imbibe | European preiudices, even tattooed their ' lips, lest they should have the reproach of | being red. Some races slit their ears until 1 they hang in loops on their shoulders. | Others insert huge rings and other orna- I ments through the cartilage of their noses. | The Louisiade Islanders regard the lid of @ sardine box as 8 particularly neat piece of l jewelry; and even European women have l not yet ceased to suspend bits of stone and metals through the lobes of their ears. l There is in truth no possibility of arriving | at any standard of beauty.
