Furniture Plans.

For all important houses nowadays
a careful plan is drawn up for the pro-
posed position of every important piece
of furniture, with color drawings
where necessary to show the effect,
and by this means Edward and Alex
andra were able to judge of the result
beforehand. 1t was Mrs. Astor who
first introduced the interior plan idea
among Americans with splendid house
hold furnishings, her own Newport and
New York mansions always being thus
arranged to a dot. Having once deter

Writing of Prince Albert In an arti-
Gle in the Century. On ''Tbe Royal
Family of England" Professor Oscar
Browning says:
From the first the Prince Identified
himself with the Queen in all her la
bors. They had n mind and one
soul. Rising every morning with the
dawn, the Prince went into his work
room, where their two tables stood
side by side, and read all their CORE
%spondence, arranging everything for
the Queens convenience when she
should arrive. He knew all her
thoughts and assisted all her actions,
yet so adroit and self-sacrificing was
his conduct that all the merit and pop
ularity came to her. The people had
no idea that he interfered with public
affairs, yet, had they reflected, they

when the notion got abroad that the

Saturday, Charles Kingsley said to the
present writer: He was King of En-

provided with feet that fitted them
snugly enough, and the boy wore them
around for the day without any dis
comfort. The man came in for them
that same evening. and the next even
ing he dropped in to say that the shoes
fitted him immensely, and that he
hadn't been bothered a little bit by the
drawing insteps after wearing them
all of that day.

manager, according to the Washington
Star, "and leaning oyer the desk, and
addressing me in a voice Of suppressed
wrath, mingled with emotion, he said:

inga The weather man" has pointed
out the atmospheric conditions, the fea-
lures Of the sky and the clouds, and the
time of day which must be taken INTO
consideration when attempting to fore
cast the approach of a storm, and
which, II r%ightfully interpreted4< are
certain signs. The leading conditions
to be considered are the aspect of the
western horizon, the presence or abb
sence of the cirrus and cirrus stratus
clouds, the temperature. with sultri-
ness and humidity and the distance
from the turning pointsln the days tenn
perslture. If these different conditions
are correctly understood there should
be no difficulty, he says, In fofetelling
a thunderstorm. ~~
There is n feature of an uncertain
ty, however, about the actual appear
anc of q storm correctly predicted, and
Ibis Is due to the fact that all thunder
storms are distinctly local features,
having to do with extremely limited
areas, and all of short duration. This
renders 1t possible for one to see a
storm coming and really on It's way,
but to be disappointed of its arrival In
ones own locality. Its energy has been
spent before it has had time to come
sufficiently far. Thunderstorms rarely
cover more than thirty to forty miles
In a stretch, generally no more than
eight miles, while some are much
shorter. A hailstorm, which always
signifies the expenditure of tremendous
force, seldom overs more than one
eighth of a mile. Less severe storms
are sometimes no longer. In looking
for a storm the western sky is the only
sky point Of value. This is because
storms always have been known to
travel from west to east. II you see a
storm due north or due south, 1t Is mOre
than probable that it will not reach
your locality, but II 1t Is due west or
west Of north, or perhaps west of south,
you may look for its arrival unless it
should happen to expend its energies on
the way before reaching you.
Look Ont for Mares Tails"
The clouds which foretell a storm
are the cirrus clouds, "amers' tails the
country folk call them-hairlike shreds
threaded across the heavens, later gath
'ering into the cirrus stratus, white and
gray clOud sheets. which arc the trua
rain clouds. The atmosphere is always
heated with a sultry humidity. 1t is
warm and moist, thick, heavy, muggy.

of the charming ' summer landscape,

doubly lovely.
First Sign of Storm.
The first clew to the mystery OF a
storm comes from water. If a glass of
water is stood on a window sill on a
hot day it gradually evaporates. The
hot, dry air sucks 1t up. Similarly the
hot, dry air above a large body of wa
ter sucks up its water, transforming 1t
into a fine vapor. which imparts a mis-
tiness to the atmosphere. The distant
atmosphere now gradually screens it.
self in a veil of vapor, which becomes
thicker and thicker. This leads to the
next phenomenon In a thunder storm.
Every one knows that when steam
m In contact with cold objects It
condenses, finally forming tiny drops
and resuming its original form Of wa
ter. In the anne way m a warm sum-
mer afternoon the upper layers of the
atmosphere are cooler than those i'm
mediately above the earth. Hence the
higher vapors rising as they come In
contact with the cool air condense,
thickening into the form Of clouds,
which are nothing else than condensed
steam. The particles Of water forming
the clouds are so minute and light that
they float in the air. The movements of
the vapor as 1t rises and the action of
the cooler upper strata of air upon it
generates currents of air, the wind.
This at first is just strong enough to
ripple the surface of the water and stir
the foliage of the trees. In the mean
time, another element is at work. Ev-
cry one presupposes an accumulation
Of electricity at a thunder storm. Elec-
tricity is present in the atmosphere all
the time, but, as has been observed, it
is always more powerful when any
