PICKING THE WEATHER.
Simple Signs That Make the Official
 Forecast Unnecessary.

There can be no doubt. at least in the minds of those who have been at pains to acquire the old weather lore and to watch by its aid the changes of the weather, that the wise ones of long ago had unfailing barometers in their fields, by the waysides and even at their hearts. whereby they had an interest in nature which some Of us might do worse than try to recover
 Here are the signs which have been tested:
 There will be fine weather if the clouds at sunset fly to the west if the sun is then surrounded by circle or white clouds.
 If the sunset clouds have purple In their red there will be fine weathe-, but if only red there will be rain next day. A border of black to the red in the southeast improves the weather
 Rain may be expected that day when the sun rises pale or a light red, but not until the following day should the sunrise clouds be red.
 There will be rain that day should dark clouds gather and remain in the
 Wind may be looked for when small white clouds with ragged edges gather together.
 foretelis wind and showers. but in winter steady rain throughout that day
 clear and sunny morning in sum
  when rain falls while an east wind is blowing you may expect the rain to last for "A hours.
 The weather will improve should a halo or ring form around the sun dur ing bad weather, and if there are clouds in the east in the evening.
 Rain before sunrise will give a fine afternoon.
 Watch the stars on clear summer night, and should there be no falling stars you may expect the fine weather to continue.
 Any change of weather at the quar- ters of the moon will last for that quarter.
 Fine weather for several days can be counted upon when there is a mist before sunrise at the time of or near the full moon or if the new moon rises clear; but look for wet should it rise pale, and for wind should it rise red.
 A halo around the moon in fine weather there will be rain, and the larger the halo the sooner will rain come.
 If there is steady north wind for two. three d1ys look for fine wealth CT thereafter.
 A damp fog of mist accompanied by wind brings rain.
 There is usually wind before a thunder storm
 If there is lightning without thunder of an evening after a clear day the fine weather will continue

POPULAR GOVERNMENT.
No Form Can Be Successful Without
 an Alert and Intelligent Electorate.

Governor Hughes of New York was so earnest in promoting a direct prim- ary law for that state when the legis- lature adjourned without passing one he reconvened it in special session to reconsider it. Theodore Roosevelt threw his influence in favor of the law by addressing a strong letter to one of the republican leaders. And still the legislature refused to enact it.
 And now again comes Colonel Roose- welt and, while expressing great regret that the bill failed of passage, also states two great political truths: First, that the only successful popular gov ernment must be party government; and secondly. that no direct primary or any other law will result in good popu- lar government except at the hands of an intelligent, alert and politically active electorate.
 Nobody will deny that representa- tive government will be good govern ment if the people elect good repre- sentatives. If we elect good legisla lures we shall have good laws. If we send good delegates to party conven-

For example, we could not consent to Japanese colonization or control of any section of Central or South America But apparently the time is near at hand when the United States may safely relax its jealous oversight of the southern republics as against our European friends. It is very probable. indeed, that before many years the sentiment Of the American people will uphold our government in pursuing a policy of opportunism with relation to Central and South American affairs-a policy of dealing independently with each question as il comes up. without reference to a pos sible violation of a doctrine which has been made largely obsolete by changed conditions.

THE BUTTERMILK FAD.

Professor Ellie Metchnikoff, whose researches in biology and bacteriology have been productive of much scien- tific debate, has gained the popular ear. The layman may know little of bacteria, but when science is expressed in terms of buttermilk he sits up and takes notice. The buttermilk season is here. Indeed, the MetchnikOff the Ory has also arrived. He has pro pounded the theory, after a study of the robust Belgians, that fermented milk is conducive to long life. There is no denying the fact that the so called artificial buttermilk fad is sweeping Europe, and has touched America.
 BulCarians. Armenians and all the descendants of the Tartars refuse to drink sweet milk, because of stomach distress which it sometimes occasions. They brew a mila beer, yoghoOrt. mat Zoon, koumiss, 4Iephir lcden or cinema, as the case may be. all the product of tactic acid ferment. The products of milk are myriad and but few are known to us, like buttermilk, whey, junket, cream, cUrds, cheese, butter, sour milk. Are we, too, to become brewers of lac tic beer, produced by a hOplike fer ment, a bacteria culture or by quick souring and sudden cooling that may develop a tactic acid culture of still another variety? Buttermilk, of course, minus the butter. Matzoon or yog- hoort are fermentative bacteria that may or may not develop a trace of alcohol The koumiss of the Swiss and the keephit of the Tartars has su- gar and yeast added, which naturally produce alcohol, making these milk beers about One-third as alcoholic as malt beer. These are the drinks which Metchnikoff one of the greatest living scientists, commends to the world as conducting to good digestion, health, fair complexion and virility.
