An Odd Barometer.

4 common leech makes a good ba-
rometer. Fill Il tumbler half full with
water, put the leech into it and tie a
piece of muslin over the top to keep
the leech from getting out. All you
have To do to find out what sort of
weather we are going to have is to
watch the little animal.
For example, when the day is to be
fine the leech Will remain at the bot
tom of the glass, coiled up in spiral
shape and quite motionless. If rain
may be expected, it will creep to the
top of the glass and stay there until it
clears off.
IL the leech twists itself and is very
restless, there is going to be n wind
storm. If it keeps out of the water for
several days, look out for a thunder
storm.
The indications for frosty weather
are the same as for fine and for snow
the same as for rain. In fact, n leech is
almost as good a forecaster as the
weather man himself.

Unique. He is truly the evil genius of
the two latter, where deaths from his
bite form high percentage every year.
In Martinique especially it is necesSa-
ry OftentimeS in some districts to burn

snakes before the negroes dare enter to
cut the canes. On one estate thirty-Sev-

him extremely difficult To discern on

IA divorce proceedings by his wife Le-
vina r. Lancaster, filed an answer and
cross bill. In the answer the defend
ant denies all the plaintiffs allega-

100000, but says with all mis- debts
paid he would be worth but 81, 900. the
amount asked by the plaintiff. In his
cross bill the defendant sets forth
that he is Il man IS years of age and
alleges that his life has been endan-
