RIGHT AFTER OUR CIVIL WAR.

Southern women had suffered much
by the Civil war. on the whole far
moro than their Northern sisters. There
was but little exaggeration in the
phrase which was current at the time,
that the Confedracy, in order to fill
its armies, had TO draw upon the
cradle and the grave" The loss OF
men. not In proportion to the num-
Der on the rolls. but in proportion to
the whole white population, was far
heavier In the south than in the north.
There We're bread riots in Richmond.
Salt became SO scarce that the earthen
floors of the smoks-houses were scraped
to secure the remnants of the brine
drippings of former periods. Flour

or the various little comforts and
luxuries which by long common use

WEATHER FOLKLORE.

winds and falling barometer precede
rain about "a hours and the barometer
rails 10 about 1855, and is on the rise
before rain begins. In spring, autumn
and winter. rain winds are produced
by an area of low pressure passing in
over the Washington coast or the for
nation Of a low area over the northern
or middle plateau region During tho
summer they result from a low area
over the northern ROCKY mountain
slope and a high area over the north
Pacific districts. The relative humidity
has not been associated with wea tn er
changes. "Hlgh'' on weather maps de-
notes fair weather; low" the reverse.

THE CLOUDS.
Cirrus clouds dong feather shaped af-
fairs. known most commonly as mare
tails) move from the northwest in
spring. autumn and winter and from
the southwest In summer. From April
10 September they precede rain two
TO three days and from October to
March, one to two days. Precipitation
is also preceded by GIRO cumulus
clouds, commonly known as mackerel
scales.

mosphere that Is sustained by the aver
age human body. II is not difficult,
therefore, to imagine that the physical
organism OF animals may be sensitive
to these changes and that II has be-
come an inherited instinct to associate
the sensations experienced under diff
ferent atmospheric pressures with the
kind OF weather they indicate. The or
ganization of diseased and delicate hui
man bodies and of many kinds Of AMI
mails is extremely sensitive to atmos-
pher1c changes, and aches, pains and
nervousness In humans and restless be-
hayior on the part OF animals, birds
ana insects may, in a measure, be at
tributed to low. rapidly decreasing at
mosphere pressure that precedes and
attends storm periods.
WHY THEY HURT.
The blood and other fluids of the
body, Prof. Cox says, contain n consid-
cradle amount OF air, and this air ex-
pands in proportion as the external at
mospheric pressure on the body is re-
duced In a time OF low barometer this
produces an Internal pressure against
the nerves. and wherever the nerves
are already infiamed there Is pain. This
pain, therefore, Is sign OF low barom-
eter, but not always of rain, as pre-
cipitation is governed by many influ-
ences.
1t is further explained that the blood
and other fluids of the body contain
a considerable amount of air. and this
air expands as. external atmospheric
pressure Is reduced Thus internal
pressure on nerves creates pain or
headaches. Thus low barometric con
ditions cause headaches and headaches
