True Premo onitIon of Rain.

How often we hear the remark,
eve shall have rain, the atmosphere
is so heavy" The reverse is true.
When one sees smoke hanging from a
chimney with tendency to sink to
the ground, it indicates that the at
mosphere is light-in fact, too light
to float the smoke. When the smoke
rises from the chimney it indicates a
heavy atmosphere. A column OF
smoke is not bad barometer, for r
barometer simply records the pres.
sure of the atmosphere. When the
atmosphere is light and the smoke
settles, the pressure of the mercury
is light and the column falls, indicat.
ing storm. When the atmosphere is
heavy and the smoke rises, the pres
sure is greater and the column rises,
indicating fair weather.

More Weddings In the Country.

'It Is n very noticeable fact" said
Maj. Lusk, who is authority on the
question with reference to Hymen,
"that there are not az many city chaps
getting married nowadays as there are

country boy marrles a city girl, but not
very often. The city boy seldom, II
ever, marrles country girl. OF course,
the city boy does not like to marry

than boy reared in the city can with

marries he goes on tract of land given

Newspapers Stability.

A question that was frequently asked
was: what will become OF the Sun
now that Dana Is deadT The inquiry
Is based on a mistaken idea. A greal
newspaper Is far more than an individ.

OF effort In many departments, and
when II reaches the first rank has
passed far beyond the limits OF a single
personality.
The great newspaper Is in some de-
gree the creation Of the public itself,
who, appreclating its firm principle
and intelligent championship of thu
right, make 1t their forum. A journal
of this high order and broad influence
Is interviewer with current history, aud
has n pcrpctuity like the tide OF human
life. When 1t loses a laborer OF excep.
tional ability the event Is deplored. hui
the paper goes forward without miss
mig Il step.

An article in the Lancet gives some
hints on the inducing of sleep which
will be of interest to all victims of
insomnia. So vital is the necessity
for sleep that any method by which it
may be secured is worthy of attention.
The means employed is to produce
WEAKNESS by muscular exercise after
retiring. Lying on the back the
patient first reaches for the foot and
head board at the same time. He
then raises his head half an inch; at
the same time he breathes slowly and
deeply about eight inspirations to the
minute which are counted. After
about twenty inspirations the head,
which begins to feel heavy,is dropped.
The right foot is then raised (the
reaching for the boards and counting
being continued and similarly dropped
when fatigued. The left foot goes
through the same process. The
muscles which are used in reaching
for the head and foot boards are then
relieved, and the body is elevated SC
that it rests on the head and heels.
He then turns on the right side and
reaches for the head and foot boards
again, and raises first the head and
the foot, as before. The same
process as gone through on the other
side. Thus eight positions have been
assumed, and large number o.
muscles used. If sleep has not been
induced the same cycle is gone ovel
again. The Ledger.

A man who had his doubts about
beavers being able to build dams was
presented with n baby beaver by n
hunter. 1t became II great pet, but
showed no signs of wanting to build
n dam until one day n lesky paiful of
water was put on the floor of the out
kitchen. The beaver was there, and
though little more than n baby, when
he saw the water oozing across the
floor he scampered into the yard,
brought n chip and began his work.
His owner kept the pail filled and left

little fellow kept at his work until he
had built n solid dam around the pail.

name of Vladivostok, on the enstern

ago it was only little, barren, strag-
Cling town OF n few thousand inhabit-

fishermen who lived in the deepest

city of more than 10000 inhabitants
and il will soon become one of the
great ports and naval stations of the
world. Last week the cornerstone of
the new Russian public works was laid

The importance of Vlalivostok
lies in the fact that il is at the ter
minus of the trans-Siberian railroad,
which will run from Russia, u distance
Of over 5000 miles, across the barren
stretches of Siberia. When completed.
it will have cost over 9l75, 600, 900,
making it one of the greatest business
enterprises of modern times. This
railroad will give Russia great port
on the Pacific ocean and enable her to
develop the rich coal and iron mines
OF her vast territory, all of which will
add to the Importance of the new city
