Gas-Lamps as Weather Prophets.

81 beg leave to explain to you and the
public generally a method Of weather fore
casting, which | discovered about eight or
ten years ago, and have since elaborated
daily. It is done by closely observing and
understanding the various shapes and
shades of the gas flame visible in street
lamp about a hundred yards of. The fol-
lowing prognostcs will speak for them
selves:
Prognostic-for snow-A clean, bright
light, with centre bright as silver. And,
as there is generally frost when snow comes,
it is indicated by tail from the bottom
of the light, resembling wine bottle turn
ed upside down. The size Of the tall will
show the degree Of frost.
"Proguostic for sunshine-The frost tall
is solid, but for sunshine is made Of rays
closely pressed together. There is very
particular point TO be observed here. The
moment the ray tail is seen, similar tall
is to be observed at certain stars, and is not
10 DC seen II lutIt u W Dt hO ouhShihO
next day.
"Prognostic for rain-Rays out from the
sides and bottom Of the light (candle flame
shade The rain will be in proportion to
the rays.
"PrognOstic for haze or fog-Haze has the
white fame, and the fog has the same shade
toned down nearly as the candle flame
Cloudy and dul' is indicated by the pres
sure Of the atmosphere.
"Prognostic for thunder-A very small
fame, but bright as silver, with the slight
est touch OF mauve tone.
"Prognostic for wind-The reflection
around this light, and in proportion will be
the wind or storm.
"The prognostic for heat-A hazy fur
around the light The light mast be about
hundred yards distant from you Wiuiam

'Coons attending School.

II saw the counterpart of a boys school
one day in the woods of Illinois" said an
amateur naturalist. 81 was sitting quietly
on log near creek when there came pac-
ing down a little path an old mother raccoon
with five young ones. The little fellows
were about as large as half-grown cats, and
were as full of fun as that mythical basket
of monkeys we read about If ever there
was hard worked teacher it was that poor
mother coon. She tried to teach the little
imps how to catch crawfish and how to eat
them. When the old lady-she was very
ladylike old 'cOon-got the little fellows in
line at the waters edge she sedately walk
ed to a rock and gravely reached down in
hole and brought out crawfsh. She then
proceeded to wash it, but just as she was
about to eat it one little coon broke ranks
and stole the crawfish.
This started row, and all the little fell
lows were badly mixed, while the old one
was administering bites and cuffs indiscrim-
inately among the scholars. She finally
succeeded in restoring order, and then sent
one of the little 'coons to try it in another
hole. Here is where the fun began in ear
nest, and all the mischievous boys that ever
made a teachers heart ache were angels of
goodness when compared with these little
'coons They pinched each others tails,
nipped each others ears, bit each others
legs and worried the old coon until she
turned and gave them general cutting all
around.
at seemed to me that each little coon
knew his lesson perfectly, and was determin-
ed to get all the fun out of the proceeding
possible, for when the mother coon got so
angry that she made her bites felt the little
fellows got down to business and caught,
washed and ate their crawfsh with all the
ability of veterans.
"The comically grave faces of the little
fellows as they reached down into the craw-
fish holes and groped about for the fish
was too much for my risibiites, and gave
such a hearty laugh that the school was in
stantly dismissed"

Nineteen out of every twenty men in
the United States approve of the income
tax. The only kickers are the men who
will have to give up a little Of their ill-got-
ten wealth to help support the government
from which they get so many favers.-Er'
And right here let it be observed is where
Senator Camden has proved himself the
friend of the people No man in the Senate
was so seriously affected by the passage of
the income tax bill as was Senator Camden,
as well as by the bill placing lumber on the
free list, yet he openly and squarely, and
with an unselfshness as brave and beautiful
as it is rare, espoused these measures, bury
ing self-nterest in the cause Of the people.
Mr.. Camden is 4 gentleman Of large means,
but every dollar Of his vast wealth was made
by prudent management, and judicious in
vestments, and the great bulk Of his fortune
has been used to develope the resources Of
his native State for which he cherishes an
intense affection which amounts to a pas
sion. Senator Camden never uttered sen.
timent or recorded a vote during his official
career in support of the merciless monopolies
that are bleeding the people and bankrupt
ing the nation, but always, upon all occa-
sions has supported every public measure
looking to the betterment Of the condition
of the masses Of his cOuntrymen. Point us
we say, to a single act or utterance in The
public career of Senator Camden that bai
not been in accord with the wishes, and il
courageous and consistent vindication o
the interests Of his people whc have so high
ly honored and implicitly trusted him in the
past, and will continue to do 50 in the fu
ture. Senator Camden is not 4 depraveC
political demagogue, but digniiied an'
practical statesman, who has served his stat'
and people with an ability, fidelity and yea
which should entitle him to the lasting
gratitude of every son Of West Virgins
whose heart is loyal and true to her honor auC
her prosperity. Tile Crisis.

Wooi Prices Under Free Wool

The good effects of the new tariff bill on
the wool market are coming more rapidly
than even its most hearty supporters had
dared to wish The Wheeling Register,
through its special correspondents in eastern
Ohio, West Virginia, and western Penusyl.
vania, has made inquiry concerning prices
and demands, and the result has been far
more than satisfactory to the friends of the
free wool measure.
The correspondent at WoOdsfeld, o., the
center Of large wool raising country, rep
resented in Congress by A. J. Pearson,
whose place was jeopardized by his vote for
free wool, reports that Alexander Harmon
sold 10000 pounds OF wool within week at
26 cents, and was offered as much for the
remainder of his clip This he refused, be-
ieying he can do better before the first Of
the year. Clint & Pfalzgranr, also of Mon
roe county, have sold their wool within a
week at % cents, it being n less desirable
clip than that Of Harmon. Miller & Co.,
of Beallsville, o., are offering 20 and 2l
cents, but are getting no wool. The wool
men are set against anything short Of %
cents. The report from Washington, Pa,
is that washed wool is selling and has been
for week at 20 and 81 cents. Markell &
Co., OF Monongahela, are offered and have
instructed Their country agents to take up
$4,000 pounds at from 30 to 25 cents, ac-
cording to grade.
Several instances where wool has sold in
the West Virginia panhandle at from 20 to
90 cents are reported. Most of the wool
buyers are Republicans and the fairy stories
they have told wool raisers within the past
three months are remarkable. They have
used every means to bulldoze buyers into
selling at 10 to II cents and have been able
to get some wool at those figures. Clere'and

A NoueI Mud Bath Treatment

the sound Of "mud-baths." and those who
have tried them at Homburs, Germany, and
other places find them not agreeable a. ex-
periences, however elicscious they may be

simply that of pouring mud into ones bath,
but at some Italian baths TO which the fash
ionably sick are turned, traveller who
has taken them finds they are quite differ
ent. The mud, in very hot and almost
dry form, much Of the coDsistence Of brick
clay is applied locally to those parts OF the
body which are afflicted. The patient lies
on a straw bed, on which is placed a sheet.
The attendant having ascertained the suf-
fering parts, daubs them to the thickness OF
several inches with the mud The invalid,
covered with hot sheet or blankets lies for
half an hour, perspiring freely, then gets
into hot sulphur bath, is thoroughly
cleansed, rubbed dry, and returns to bed
artifcially warmed, where the perspiration
continues for an hour or 80 longer
This treatment is repeated almost every
morning for about twenty days, and is OF
great value in all manifestations Of rheuma-
tism. The mud is dug out of a mountain a
few mile from the spa and brought to the
establishment and allowed 10 soak for years
in tanks Of boiling sulphur water until re-

IN SWIMMING-TIME

Clouds above, as white as WOOL
Drifting over skies as blue
As the eyes of beautiful
Children when they smile at you;
Groves of maple, elm, and beech,
With the sunshine siited through
Branches, mingling each with each,
Dim with shade and bright with dew.
STRIPPING trees and poplars hoar,
Hickory and sycamore,
And the drowsy dogwood, bowed
Where the ripples laugh aloud,
And she grooming creek is stirred
To a gayety that now
Mates the warble of the bird
Teetering on the hazel bough.
Grasses long and fine and fair
As your choolboy-sweethedrts hair
Backward stroked and twirled and twlnea
BY the fingers of the wind;
Vines and moses interlinked
Down Cark aisles and deep rayines,
Where the stream runs willow-brinked,
Round bend where some one leans,
Faint and vague, and indistinct
AS the life-refiecting thing
In the current shimmering
Childish voices father on,
Where the truant stream has gone,
Vex the echoes of the wood
Till no word is understood,
Save that we are well aware
Happiness is hiding there;
There, in leafy coverts nude
Little bodies poise and leap,
SCATTERING the solitude
And, the silence, everywhere
Mimic monsters of the deep
Wallowing in sandy shoals,
Plunging headlong out of sight,
And, with spurtings of delight,
Clutching hands, and slippery soles,
Climbing up the treacherous steep,
Over which the springboard spurns
Each again as he returns.
All, the glorious carnival!
Purple lips-and chattering teeth,
Eyes that burn-but, in beneath,
Every care beyond recall,
Every task forgotten quite;
And again in dreams at night,
Dropping, drifting, through in all
