How Animals Eat Grass.

Il is a wsll-known fact that the diff.
ferent domestic animals Of the farm all
pull and eat their grass in different
ways This Ia partly due to several
causes, such as the prediction OF
each kind for particular grasses and
aversion to others, and also the ar
rangemen. Of the incisor teeth in the
mouth. as well as the size Of the muz-
zle itself The sheep Is one OF the
closest feeders We have; in TACT with the
exception OF the rabbit and the kanga-
roo. it will eat a pasture barer than
any other animal. This is OF course.
due to the small size Of the mouth. to-
gether with its prediction for the finer
grasses Next to the sheep comes the
horse in this respect for. although his
mouth IS large, yet the fact that he has
teeth above and below. enables him to
bite close II is very noticeable in a
pasture where horses are alone thai

other hand. have not oaly a large
muzzle. but also the absence OF upper
teeth. 80 that. Of necessity. they can
not bite fine or close. and. therefore.
we find with them that their grass Is

TO TELL THE WEATHER.
Prof Draper Tells What He Knows About
Practical Indications

Benjamin Franklin was the first to
discover that storms in this country
travel from west to east. He was in
terested in observing an eclipse. and
found that while the observations were
spoiled in Philadelphia by a rain
storm that came on just ct the
beginning of the eclipse. the sky was
clear at Boston until after the eclipse
was over. By communicating with in
tervening towns he learned that the
storm travelled eastward at a uniform
rate. Simultaneous observations taken
in all parts Of the country show that
nearly all great storms follow the same
general directiOn-frOm the west 10
the east The same Is true Of cold or
hot waves. Therefore. TO tell what
the weather will be. in advance. We
have only 10 find out the conditions
that prevail west OF Us. This i Drae-

and may either change its course en-
tirsly or hasten its advance The rate
at which n storm travels between two
points is. in fact. calculated by the gra-
dent or decline of the barometer from
one point OF the other. When a storm Is
advancing the Wind blows to meet it.
Thus a wind blowing from the east OF
southeast indicates the approach Of n
storm from the west. When the storm
center has passed. however. the wind
changes and follows the storm. n a
person has a good barometer and a
wind gauge he can tell pretty correctly
when a storm Is coming. Without the
instruments the clouds may be watched.

cations of the presence OF much moist

The old Scotch saying that
A red sky IT night is the sheperu's delight
A red SLY IN the morning. shePnerdrs take
warning.
Is partially true in this country. The
red sky in the morning indicates an
excess Of moisture in the air. and a
storm Is therefore likely TO occur be-
fore many days
The circle around the moon. or lunar

tude produces a large bow ard a, a
low altitude a snail bow The small

the moisture. and. consequently. the

old saying that the number Of stars 10

mus of these attacks has been perfectly

by their virulence have served to more
prominently Call attention to tile good
work Of the ''koyal" COMPANY.
Ordinary authorizations such IA are

they do not particularly affect tho

In this fight made .by the "Royal''
Company. it is to be noticed that the
most trust worthy scientific au uthorities
are emphatically upon its side. In all
the contests of this company with the
alum and other impure baking powders
the result has proved that every state
ment made by the Royal Baking Pow
der Company. both as to the purity of
it's own and the adulteration, of other
baking powders ut the market, was
fully authorized by the most competent
chemical aud medical aut uthOrities of the
country.
In this cOntest two facts have been
pretty cOnc|usively settled in the minds
of the public-the first that the Royal
Company has found the means, and
uses them: to make 4 chemically pure
article of food; and the other that the
market is full Of poisonous, alum and
other adultered baking powders which
no matter how strongly endorsed by
''commercial" chemists are to be stu.
stndiOusly avoided.
pure baking powder is one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing per.
feet and whole some food. The recent
controversy in the pre- 81 has left it no
no longer question with those who
desire purity and .wholesOmeness Of
food what baking powder they sbhll
