Is it not pity that so much scientific
energy and research should be wasted in
providing forecasts Of the unpleasant
weather forwarded to us regularly from
Washington, when every householder or
even lOdger has at his daily disposal-so it
would seem-an infallible meteorological
prophet in the shape of a cup of ordinary
cafe an lat, taken with sugar. Sufficient
for the day is the evil thereof; few pine to
penetrate the weather secrets of the morrow
To discover those of the coming six hours
or so, all they have to do is to drop two
Jumps of best loaf exactly into the centre
of cup filed with coffee and milk, in Just
proportions, and then to watch the surface
of that refreshing beverage Gaseous
bubbles viii presently arise, and gather
together in group or groups. If they
make sudden rush to the side Of the cup,
much rain win be the order Of the day.
Should their eccentric movement be per-
formed with stately deliberation, 'showery'
viii be the word. If, however, they retain
their central station, slowly rotating until
they burst, the barometer that does not indi-
cate set fair may be assumed not to know
its business. This is the latest of the
thousand and one unerring appliances of
weather wisdom. Bubble prognostication
looks as simple as fortune telling.

WHAT Is LIFE p
BY ROLAND wYLL.

| What's Life? A surging, painful, feeting spasm;
Both fore and aft, there yawns the awful chasm.
We'er born: the mighty current srasps our bark,
! And thence we're tossed mid waters dread an
dark;
The Past a wall, before our sight doth rise.
Unpierced unknown, behind its dark disguise.
Were borne along upon the surging tide
Mid hope and fear by JOY and sorrow tried,
Glimpses We catch but quick they pass away
The vast Unknown. still leeting, will not stay.
We grasp at Love; We win nut no, tbs gone!
A moment ours. hard Fate still drives US on.
Our jovs all flee, ere yet their charms we know,
We pass: We seize: one moment and they go.
The dashing wave gives not an hour Of bliss,
And lovers leave without parting kiss
Ambitions hope is quickly swept away,
Nor rich nor poor can claim aught but today.
Thus fees vain Life a, borne upon the wave
We naught can claim but cradle aud the grave.
We know: but yet therc's nothing we can prove.
We feel: but know not how our senses move
We see: hut does our fellow see the same
We hear, but can we outstanding claim
We hope. bat all uncertain Of the end
And Faith alone. can peace and comfort send.
We struggle on. aud hope the light 10 gain.
We patient toll unmindful the pain.
We cannot know, but Siin our hearts can trust
That God. our Maker. IS All wise ana lu>t'

We know no; why. or manner. only fear.

Care of the Feet.
From the scientiflo Ameriean.

Many are careless in the keeping of the
feet. IF they wash them once a week they
think they are doing we'll They do not
consider that the largest pores are located
in the bottom of the foot and the most Of
fansive matter is discharged through the
pores, They wear stockings from the be-
ginning to the end of the week without
change, which become perfectly saturated
with offensive matter III health is gener-
ated by such treatment of the feet. The
pores are both repellants and absorbents,
and fetid matter is taken back into the
system. The feet should be washed every
day with pure water only, as well as the
armpits, from which an offensive odor is
also emmitted, unless daily ablution is
practiced. Stockings should not be worn
more than day or two at time. They
may be worn one day, and then aired and
summed and worn another day if necessary.
