' Weather Signs.

The odd weather lore, " founded on nat
ural appearances, is the only true weather
guide. Old sailors and shepherds, whose
lives are continuously spent in the open
air, have always been considered the most
'wcatherwiso" from their daily Observance

my own experience goes, ! have observed
that dapplcd or "maclcrcl sky--never
long dry" as the old provorb says-is a
pretty sure forerunner Of speedy down.

another sign Of rain. Another well known
appearance is "Noah's ak" which is
when the clouds represent the shape of
the hulk of ship, and if the ends point
in the quarter of the prevailing wind it
Is certain sign that rain will speedily
follow.

A Russian Grand Duchess.

The title of grand duchess is borne by
the daughters, sisters and granddaugh-
tcrs of the car. When baptized, they re-
ceive the insignia of the Order of the
Great and Holy Martyr Catherine They
have separate coats of arms. Before they
become OF age they are entitled to 33, 900
rubles and after that to $4,000 a year
The granddaughters of the car have a
right to 10, 600 rubles year until they
are of age. From that time on to their
marriage they get $4,000 IA year All
grand duchcsses receive on their wedding
day dot of 1000, 900 ubles The daugh-
ters-in-law of the car who bear the title
of grand duchess receive 40, 600 rubles "a
year. In case a grand duchess becomes a
widow she is entitled to an extra pension
of 40, 600 rubles. Should she leave Rus
sia, however, this amount is reduced to
10, 900 rubles, and If she marry again
beneath her rank or in foreign lands she
loses it altogether.

Air for Children.

A child needs change of air, and on a
day when the weather does not admit of
his going out he should have "a shawl
thrown around him and be taken for a
little airing about the house, taking care
of course that the passages are not drafty,
or 1t Is good plan to put on his out
door garments, and provided that the day
Is not too Indictment to open the nursery
windows wide, having previously seen
that the door is shut, and either walk up
and down the room with him or drive him
about in his porambulator for short
time. The children's domain should be
made as bright and cheerful as possible,
and they should have nurse with pleas
ant kindly manner. Anything approach
ing noise and excitement is extremely bad
for young babies, and an overflow of bois-
ferrous spirits ON tho part of their attend

Women In Italy.

In Italy, writes correspondent we
have seen women not only working in the
fields, but carrying bricks and stone and
mortar up ladders for the construction Of
buildings. On the railroad FROM Brindisi
to Naples, in southern Italy, where tun-
mel was being repaired, we saw some 40
girls carrying on their heads bushel bas-
kets of mortar and stone from valley on
one side of the track up steep stairway
above the tunnel on the other side. Tie
baskets We're filled by men and lifted upon
the heads Of the girls, who thus had by
far the heavier task Of carrying the loads
up an ascent of 60 feet. Their feet and
arms were bare, their faces brown, but
they looked cheerful, at least those did
who paused in their work to stare at the
passing train. Near PA, stun gangs of
women were at field WLr,., with Il man to
oversee them, cracking a long hunting
whip
AT Amalii we saw old women carrying
on their backs loads of wood up the long
rocky stairways leading to the Cappuccini
Monastery fotel The wood Was 4 feet
long, and to all appearances there was
nearly Il quarter of IA cord on each wom-
an S back In several places in southern
Italy we witnessed this almost brutal
scene Of women bent and staggering be
meath loads of wood which they were car
rying up the hills. The first feeling one
has on secinl women thus employed is Of
resentment against some one who has
forced them to it, but evidently the rough
out of door toll is voluntarily assumed, or
at least accepted as inevitable.

Not to Re Reached.

The people of the extreme south or
France, in the neighborhood of the Pyre-
nees, have II hard shift to live. Some Of
them gain livelihood by tanning bears.
Many Others take to begging, which be-
comes trade by ITSELF reasonably re-
munerative and not exactly dishonorable.
Baron Haussmann, in his Memories, I"
cites the case Of one of these professional
beggars who amassed good property and
finally became mayor of a large commune.
Even then he continued to ply his trade,
especially in the bathing season, when
many tourists visited the country. One
Of these outsiders was so taken aback at
the sight of the mayor begging on the
street that he demonstrated with the men

Rugs Versus Carpets.

One of the best sanitary reasons, says
an authority, for using rugs instead of
carpets fastened to the floor is that the
dust looscncd in cleaning them is got rid
of outside our houses instead of in. But
1t should be borne in mind that in crowd
cd city neighbornoods this dust on one
side and the other becomes a nuisance,
perhaps danger in the season Of open
windows, and one longs for an invention
whereby each family can consume its own
dust, similar to that used for the dis
posal of smoke. In getting rid of the dust
of our carpets inside an English scien
tific writer reminds us that the dry sweep
ing only stirs up the dust to resettle again
and be held most firmly by the toughest
surfaces. The wet tea leaves, damp saw
dust, coarse salt or moistened sand cause
the dust dislodged by the broom to cling
to their moisture, but the matter used
must not be too wet nor of nature that
will stain the carpet, so finely grained as
to sink into the fabric nor so clinging as
to resist easy removal by the broom.

Customs of the Dutch.

What most enchanted me, though, at
my first sight of NlissCngen was the group
OF buficSquo peasattfy assembled on the
pier to watch the coming of the steamboat,
says a correspondent OF the Boston Herald,
writing from Holland. At least, my first
thought was that they were burlesquers
who had perhaps been stranded in the low
countries by the dcfalcation of an Grant
manager, for | had never seen such won
drous beings, except upon the burlesque
stage, or at Mr.. Harrigan's delightful
theater in New York, or in the London
music halls, but it was soon made mani
fest that these Were not caricature Hol-
landers, but genuine ones. And, what
was more, l soon discovered that the bur
lesque Dutchman is not nearly so droll as
the genuine one.
They wore vast, ungainly breeches as
big as barrels at the hips and tapering
down to reasonably small dimensions at
the bottoms. They wore short jackets
fabulously bedecked with ornamental
braids and silver buttons as big as the
heels of policeman's boots. They had
big heads, with tiny caps perched ON their
crowns. Their oakum colored hair was
chopped across half way up the backs of
their ho,t,e, and on their feet they wore

An Old-Timc Town.

The town of Beverly was set off from
the town of Salem moro than 200 years
ago. About that time, it is said, a schoon.
er with full cargo of beans entered that
port. This supplied the whole town with
beans; hence the name given to the inhab
itants, Beverly Beaners." In 1857 the
town of Beverly voted to impose tax of
10 shillings on all future absentees from
town meetings. In 1904 20 slaves were
owned in the town The first Sunday
school in America was established in Bev
erly in 1910, and the fiftieth anniversary
was celebrated in that place in 1860. In
1924 General Lafayette visited Beverly,
and the writer of this saw him as he rode
through OH horseback. We are told that
up to this day those in the vicinity of Bev-

A Kitchen Combination.

Michigan is to be credited with genius
who has designed an ingenious combina-
ton of kitchen table and flour bin. The
table looks like an ordinary kitchen table
with two flaps. The front cleats are SO
adapted as to engage or combine with the
front bar of the table, the front arms hav-
ing their lower arms pivoted to the end
of the bins at or near the center and their
upper ends pivoted to the table near the
front thereof BY this means the flour
bin can be moved out and made ready for
use if necessary or returned under the TIA
BILE and quite hidden from view when not
required. - Housefurnishing Review.
