VOICES AND TINTs OF NATURE.
How they Differ In the Cold and
Hot Months OF the Year.
Forest and Stream.]

Many readers have probably at yari-
GUS times observed two phenomena and
perhaps never given the subjects but
little thought afterward. First, that
natural sounds are very different in the
colder than in the warmer months Of the
year; and, secondly, that waters have
different tints during the colder and
warmer months.
In illustration of the first we will take
a number Of examples. Many of us
have noticed the contrast in the noise of
the wind in different seasons when it
blows around the corner Of the house; in
summer what soft, mellow tone it has,
and in winter what a harsh, rough
whistle!
Then, again, let US stroll along the
banks of a stream in May, June or July,
and we will observe that the water will
then make a gentle, babbling sound,
while in November or winter it will,
with no greater volume, make hoarse,
gurgling noise.
Still again, if we ramble in the woods
during late spring or early summer, we
cannot but notice what a softness and
mildness the wind has when blowing
through the tops of the trees. On the
other hand, what roaring it makes in
cold weather. Perhaps the trees being
with or without foliage may cause some
alHerence, but it will be observed in
May, before the leaves are out to any ex-
tent there is even then marked dinar,

Oriental Ideas Of Punctuality.
Temple Bari

The indifference of time, characteristic
of orientals, was illustrated in many
amusing ways when first railway was
opened in new part of India. Nothing
but bitter experience could convince tho
natives that train, unlike the bullock
wagons they had been accustomed to,
would not wait an indefinite time to pick
. up passengers. The deputy commits
sioner had on one occasion, shortly after
the opening of a new line, sent his SER
want with his official letter bag to meet
the train, and was much annoyed at see
ing the man presently returning with it,
having missed the train.
"You had not half a mile to 90. and
you knew that the train left the station
at o'clockr'
Eyes, truly, your majesty, replied the
man in an aggrieved tone, "but when II
strikes three here the train goes from
there"
That was sharp practice of which he
had no previous experience, and it was
evident that he did not think it very
creditable to the COMPANY.
The Portland daily press., 1890-05-10

ence between that time and December.
Often we have heard it along telegraph
wires during summer and winter, and
have noted the contrast.
Again, listen to the waterfall ON mill
dams. The water in the warm season
seems to fall in smooth, murmuring
tones, but in cold weather it seems harsh
enough to make chills run down ones
spine. Then take the ocean; many of us
know while strolling along the beach or
sitting ON the sand during the warm sea-
son with what a mellow sound the
waves splash upon the sandy beach,
while in winter, with no higher tide,
what roaring and kissing they make!
Even among birds we observe a con-
trast in their notes, being mellow in
spring and summer, but harsh In cold
weather; it may be owing to the differ
ence in their love, feeding, call or migra-
ton notes.
There is also corresponding difference
in the notes of insects.
A musician once told me that to his
ear the sounds of winds and waters were
nearly all in the key Of B flat. Perhaps
some readers who have good ears for
music could tell us if they are SO.
Then, secondly, we will take notes Of
the various tints that waters have dur
ing different seasons. For example, let
us commence by taking the brook again.
AS we ramble along its banks In June or
July we see that the water has a silvery
white look as it merrily dances on its
way, but in cold weather it has more or
less of blush tint, on some days quite
dark blue. The same is true OF lakes
and ponds. What soft silvery appear
ance they have in early summer; then in
November or December what a dull
leaden color!
Still again, take waterfalls or mill
dams, then the waters seem to fall in a
glistening white sheet during the warm
season, but in winter they have more or
less of the blue tint again, sometimes real
dark; although at Niagara Falls never
recollect of seeing any other but the two
colors, emerald green and white-the
white greatly predominating in the sum-
mer, but more Of the green in late fall.
have never seen the falls later in the year
than November; even they, too, may
have the blush tints during the winter.
And lastly, take the ocean; we have
noted particularly the difference in aspect
there, in summer pale green and silvery;
in winter much darker shade of green
or dark blue.
But whichever way these voices and
tints of nature are, we all like to hear
and to see them, don't WEI

A Wonderful crease for Boots.

DR.. Alexander Zoroastroff recommends
to military men, sportsmen, etc., a
grease for boots, which is said to COM
pletely prevent sore feet and a whole
train of familiar Affections. The ONT
ment is made of four parts of lard, four
parts of olive oil and one part of caout
chouc (raw rubber), which are melted
together on a slow fire. Having moist.
ened the sole of the boot with water, the
inventor warns the boot in a stove or
before fire, and then smears it over with
the compound. The boot is said to be-
come soft, piiable and waterproof. aud
even more durable.

Indian Remains Discovered.sCE
PHILADELPHIA Ledger.1

Professor f. w. Putnam, of Harvard
college, has made some interesting dis
coveries of Indian remains at Winthrop,
Mass. The spot is evidently an old gla.
cial pothole, conical in form, the base be-
ing of blue clay and the surface chiefly
sand, with mixture of gravel. After
much patient digging the skeleton of a
man was uncovered, together with the
skeletons of two children, all in an excel.
lent state of preservation. The deaths,
in the opinion of Professor Putnam, were
undoubtedly caused by the plague, which
visited the Massachusetts, Indians about
1929 and carried away large numbers OF
them. With the skeleton of one child
were found two pottery vessels. about the
size of modern tea cup, the outer sur
face being rudely ornamented. There
was also a stone pestle, with one end
polished. Several other ornaments were
found, and Professor Putnam had all Of
the discoveries carefully photographed
before anything had been disturbed, after
which the bones and other articles were
carefully packed in a box and taken to
the rooms of the Society of Natural His.

Virgil represents the use of gold in
weaving, as if it had existed in Trojan
times. One of the garments SO adorned
was made by Dido, the Sidonian; another
by Andromache, and third was in pos
session of Anchises. In all these in.
stances, according to Yates, the refer
ence is to the habits of Phoenicia, Lydia
or other parts of Asia.-New York Sun.

tapping ruffies just like the others, all
finished with bow of black velvet rib
bon at the throat. The dress has demi-
train.
This is such dainty and pretty morn
ing dress that it is bound to be copied in
many fabrics, and it would be pretty in
plain null with ruffies, with the popular
hemstitched bordering or drawn work,
or it would be still prettier of null with
ruffies of delicate lace or Swiss embroid-
cry for both the bottom of the robe and
the cape.
The other pretty gown is suitable for
a morning or afternoon or even dinner
dress, according to the material. Cham,
brey in delicate pink or blue can be
made after this design, with the front OF
striped Bingham to match. Down the
front are two cascades of lace or null,
and around the neck plated tucker
of null with wide ruffie. A sash bow
of the new, pretty, lowered gauze rib
bon finishes the whole with touch OF
elegance.
Silk, cashmere, yelling, bunting and,
in short, almost any material suitable
for the season will be pretty in this style.
1t takes about seven yards of yard wide
goods, besides one yard and an eighth
for the front breadth, to make this dress.
The other one with the ruffies would re.
quire full ten of the same width.
A street costume has the skirt of mig.
nonette green glace silk, over which hangs
skirt of black figured Russian net, with
three rows of black velvet ribbon above
the hem. A black faille jacket visite has
sleeves that reach the elbow and are
flowing. There is a fall of lace five
inches deep to them. The jacket has
wide revers, with a row of beads all
around the revers, and to the bottom of the
jacket, and the front is open about three
inches to show full vest of handsome
black lace, which falls to point in front,
reaching to the knees and spread out
like an apron. With this is a close toque
of lace over green silk, with wreath OF
white cherry blossoms and leaves.
The other suit is of pearl gray striped
suiting striped with black. The skirt is
quite plain, laid in deep pleats, only
opening over a narrow panel of black
velvet, across which are loops of sou.
tache braid which fasten over self GOV.
ored fiat buttons.
The waist is quite plain, with slight
point and two rows of fiat buttons, sell
covered. A very dainty little shoulder
