Weather warnings in India are very

habitants declare that when rain is
coming the chameleon changes color,
snakes climb Il tree, the sparrow sings,
the north wind blows. the fish swim on
the water surface. If at sunrise there
are stripes Of red light in shape Of fish,
or at sunset red rays diverge from the
west, ''rivers shall have foam. e.,
much rain will fall. When the north
east wind blows in August. the east
wind in September and the sea wind in
October. the crop is twenty annas de-,
satisfactory in November. If there are
many clouds and flashes of lightning
on July 10, ''clean your granary and
only keep enough grain for feed and
plow," as the year will be good; but il
the wind blows strong on July % fam
inc will prevail and mar will eat man."

BORROWED TOO MUCH.
Argentina Calamity Fighting Her Way
to FlnaI. cial Freedom.

Argentina SaiiantIy Ftghting Her Way
to Financial Freedom.
The Argentine Republic has for some
years had what might be calieda though
time" A decade or SO ago English CAPT.
talists, for no apparent reason, almost
trod o one another's toes in a wild rush
to secure Argentine Investments. Natu-
rally, when men wish to lend they find
ne lack of borrowers, and the citizens of
Argentina soon had cash galore, which
they spent in promoting all sorts of cost
ly and visionary schemes. Pay day and
the crash zane together, and when the
republic reached bankruptcy it also
reached common sense. The nation
started in to settle its obligations and
resolved thereafter to do business on a
business basis.
The total revenue for 1891 amounted
to only $40, zoe, 900 gold, as compared
with SEQ SOC, 600 gold for the preceding
year. The first quarter of 1892 showed
a marked improvement, and for that
period the revenues were 5000, 900
gold, against 81, $50, 900 for the cores
ponding period of 1891. This is an in
crease of s., 200. 900 gold, and everything
indicates that the receipts of the current
year will be up to this standard. The
total receipts for fifteen months, from
Jan. 1, 1891, to March 81, 1892, amount
ed to $i1 800, 900 gold, or S155, $50, 900
currency, while all expenses during the
same period amounted to f44, AGO, 900
gold, or $lG2. 700. 600 currency.
The returns of the of the
republic for 1891 and the first quarter
of 1892 are cheering. In 1891 the i'm
ports We're valued at $40, 400 GOO gold
and the exports at $s104, 200 600 gold, and
for the first quarter of 1852 the imports
We're Sl5,SO0.C eco gold and the exports
$685. 900 600 gold, making Il total for the
fifteen months of exports $129. 100, 900
and imports SOC, POO, GOO, or a trade bal
ance of $36. 900, 900 gold.
Arrangements have lately been made
to ship u number of horses to India for
the use of the British arm, and it is
stated that owing to the admirable
qualities possessed by these animals it is
expected that within q very short time
the Argentine horse will rank as one of
the most valuable products of that coun-
try.
In fact it can be asserted that the peo-
pie Of the little republic, having got
into financial difficulties, are showing
that they know how to get ont of them
as we'll.

was amused Il few days ago at a lit
tie performance OF this anliable and pop
ular senator. He does moi often speak,
and there was general surprise when he
rose TO address the senate on - matter in
which he was no known to have any
interest. The explanation was that Il
large number Of his Montana constitu-
ents were in the gallery and that he was
showing off for their benefit. His de-
sire was to show his friends what o
smart senator they had, and so he be-
gan criticising the senate-and heaven
knows Ii criticism was d~eserved--for
the manner i'll which it had habitually
discussed matters not germane to the
pending business.
After II five minute talk, and a pretty
good talk, too, on this theme. the senator
sat down with a self satisfied expression
upon his face, and with IA glance OF two
at his admirinS constituents in the gal
lery. But what is this? 1t is sly Sena-
tor Hale addressing the senate, and say

till that date, the French government
suddenly announced its intention u
