Study Of weather charts is now gen
eral in the elementary schools of Han
over and Schleswig- Holstein with the
object of making their value in agri-
culture better known. These charts are
supplied by telegraph and post to all
schools in Germany, but systematic In
struction on meteorology is only gradu
ally being introduced.
Jean de Reszke, the famous tenor,
has severed his connection with the
Paris Opera-house. De Reszke was
ambitious for years to have a voice in
the management of the opera-house,

rector, during which time his advice
was ignored and no authority given
him, he resigned in disgust.
In some parts of Australia the horse
is shod with leather, instead of iron,
the feet receiving better support; but
this novelty is employed only in regions
where the ground is permanently COW
cred with grass or fine sand. Though

the iron shoe the higher price is re.
paid by the superior advantages. 1t is
not impossible the innovation will soon
extend to every country where the ma
ture of the soil permits it to be used

fear of God and the love Of California
before his eyes. And that's easy to set

1t is curious" remarked the grocer
on the corner, that there is no fruit In

judges of as cantaloupes, and what Is
T more curious is that they do their best
. to spoil them after they buy them. The
l first thing woman does with a canta

. Now, cantaloupes, like most of oul
fruit, are picked a trife green, ant
