HINTS FoR fHE WEATHER MAN.

When drops of water stand on the
outside of a pitcher the air is full of
moisture, and n change of weather for
the worse is impending.
If the new moon in summer falls be-
tween midnight and a. IN. the proba-
bility is that the weather for day or
two at least will be fair
In winter time If the new moon occurs
between midnight and 2 a. IN. the prob
ability is for frost, unless the wind is
from the southwest.
In the winter season a new moon oc-
curing between 10 a. IN. and 12 m.
means colder weather, with possibly
high winds from the north.
When the new moon occurs between
12 N. and p. IN. in summer time rainy
weather will probably result; in winter,
snow or cold rain.
The new moon falling between and
10 a. IN. in the winter time means cold
rain if the wind is from the west or
southwest, and snow if from the east.
Spiders always come out of their
holes shortly before rain, being ad,
vised by their instinct that insects then
fly low and are most easily taken

ABOUT The EAR.

In many deaf and dumb asylums the
inmates are called to dinner by the use
of drum. All know when it is being
beaten.
g.. Among many tribes of Africans, the
bored holes in the ears are so large that
stick an inch in diameter can be thrust
through. -,,~'~sf.>'.' -' oe4,,--'''.
Many deaf persons can hear music dis
tincly by placing one end of cane
upon the piano and holding the other
to the teeth.
The ear of the American Indian is
generally large and not well-shaped, in
this respect closely resembling that OF
the Mongolian.
The tympanum of whales ear lies
at the end of long, narrow, bony tube.
The hearing of this animal is almost pre-
ternaturally acute.
In the United States, Great Britain
and France, there are 179 institutions
for the benefit of the deaf, having 1,2oC
teachers and 12,5Oo pupils.
The number Of public day schools IN
the United States for the benefit OF the
deaf and dumb,is Il, with 46 Instructors
and AIS pupils.

Hou. c. P. Dorr, of Addison, Webster
county, w. Va, arrived in the city last
evening and was quartered at the
Bellevue. Mr.. Dorr is a native of our
neighboring county of Monroe, but has
been West Virginian, sab! for more
than twenty years. By profession he
is a lawyer, politician and successful
business man. He has served two
terms in the lower house of the West
Virginia legislature and is now en-
deavoring to secure the Republican
nomination for Congress in the Third
West Virginia district. Until the last
few years he had been Democrat, but
the ultra rottenness of that party
caused him to seek cleaner associates,
and his banner is now furled in the in
terest of the Republican cause.
