Thunder Proverbs.
Boston Journal.

DO5tOn JOurnAl
 If the birds be silent expect thun- der.
 If the cattle run around and collect together in the meadows expect thun- der.
 If the clouds grow rapidly larger expect much rain and also thunder. Two currents in summer indicate thunder.
 If there be any falling stars during clear evening in summer expect thunder.
 Increasing atmospheric electricity oxidizes ammonia in the air and forms nitric acid, which affects milk, thus accounting for the souring of milk by thunder.
 Thunder in the evening indicates much rain.
 When it thunders in the morning it will rain before night.
 Thunder in the north indicates cold weather.
 Thunder in the north indicates dry weather.
 Thunder from the south or south- east indicates foul weather; from the north or northwest, fair weather.
 With north wind it seldom thun- ders.
 Much thunder in July injures wheat and barley.
 Thunder in the fall indicates mild open winter.
 Distant thunder speaks of coming rain.

Handsome Feet.
Baltimore NeMs.

D.
 "Aristocratic feet may be culti- vated," remarked a fashionable shoe dealer the other day.
 "You take such plebeians as Jay Gould and old Commodore Wander bilt, and they all have beautiful feet" {" he continued. "It's all 8 matter of shoes, bathing, stockings and care ot the feet.
 "Take one of the Vanderbilt grand children or George Gould's baby, for instance. The child's feet from it's birth are carefully attended, bathed daily and only the best kind of shoes and the finest of stockings put on it.
 "Then for children just walking we make a shoe with an instep improver that is, the outer sole and heel are made trifle higher than at the inside of the foot. This tends to cultivate 8 high and curved instep."
 "But isn't such shoe uncomforta- ble?" was asked.
 "Not in the least. We have ladies near middle age who come in here and get fitted for such shoes. Of course, when the bones are hardened it is not so easy matter to cultivate high instep, but most children's feet may be trained so that even the flattest in- step will become improved.
 "The difficulty with many parents is in selecting shoes that are just the length of their children's feet" con- tinued the learned shoe dealer. "Now, there is nothing more injurious to the shape of the loot than a short shoe. People of wealth soon learn this, and, while the narrowest possible width is chosen, the shoe is always an inch longer than the foot.
 "Children who are permitted to walk and run about much need not have large feet. The secret is to bathe the feet each night in warm water and each morning in cold water and lit tie salt, rubbing vigorously. Then, if fine, darnless stockings are worn, and shoes that fit snugly without being tight, beautiful foot is sure to be the result.
 "Old shoes, shoes of different makers and shoes of various sizes, are more trying to the beauty of feet than either tight or narrow ones."
