WateEcoutS,

a Waterspout IS miniature tornado
originating In strong upward draft
Of air which occurs above the surface
Of a body of comparatively warm wa
ter. Its effect first becomes visible in a
circular motion at the point in the
clouds to which it ascends. This be-
comes a whirl, which condenses the
vapor at its center, causing the por-
tion Of the cloud there to drop down
ward in the shape Of gigantic jelly
bag. At the same time the continuing
upward draft increases the rapidity OF
its original swirl and the condensed
vapor caught within it until the
ascending and descending masses join
to form the waterspout. Necessarily
by this process the air beneath the
spout is rarefed, and thus where the
phenomenon occurs at sea the water
always seems to be sucked up into it,
although this is not really the case to
any considerable extent For similar
reasons where a waterspout or lorna
do passes over q building it does most
Of its damage by exhausting the air
outside, causing what IS within to ex-
panG and blow: the structure to pieces.

The Arts of Asia.

It was Asia, through Arabia, which
gave Europe the literature, the arts
and the sciences which we have de-
yeloped and Of which we now boast.
Gunpowder was probably invented in
China. It was certainly introduced
gnto Europe from Arabia. The finely
tempered steel Of Damascus went over
kon Arabia at the time Of the Moor
ash invasion Of Spain, and its manu-
9scture was continued at Toledo. The
coppersniths Of Bagdad supplied the
worlds market with their wonderful
productions centuries before there
were any industries in Europe. Weav-
Ing Of silk and cotton had its birth as
an industry in Arabia, and the weay-
Sng Of wool was learned by the cru
saders in the same wonderful country.

The Sins Of The Fathers.

The children of disagreeable faith
er are often judged unjustly, and de-
Erived of neighborhood privileges that
could reasonably be granted them on
their own merits. Don't be like the
Irishman who, when crossing a field,
was attacked by a bull, and, scram-
bling over dyke to escape him, fell in
the mud on the other side. Coming
back the next day, he armed himself
with big stick, but this time the only
animal in the field was calf. Angry
at his experience Of the day before,
rat began to. beat the poor calf with
his stick. At last he stopped, and
shaking his fist in the calf's face. said:
"Now, bedad! home with We if We like.
and tell yer ould father what l did
to ye."
The children of man who has
"fal.en from grace" may take after
their mother, the man himself may be
sincerely repentant, and should be
helped to make good and his children
given a chance with the rest of the
young people of the neighborhood.-

Flowing is the most common
work on the farm, and it is al
80 the most important. More
is done with the pillow in pre-.
pairing the seed bed. If the
blowing is not done right no
amount of work with any other
tool can make it right.
What it does: Flowing loos-
ems up the soil and turns new
portions of it up to be acted IN
by the elements so that the
plant food that it contains can
be made available. In loosen
ing up the soil the water can
get into it more easily aud
more of it will get in in a given
time. In case of a heavy rain
for instance, much more of it
will soak into deep plowed
soil than i to a shallow plow, d
one. The other day the writer
was in a portion of the state
where the crops were suffering
for lack of moisture, yet a few
days before a heavy rain h I'd
fallen. T h e blowing being
shallow 1t could not soak in
quick enough 80 most of it
flowed off from the land, and
into the gullies.
When to pillow: The land
should be plowed when the
soil is moist If it is dry the
pulverizing action of the pillow
is largely lost. When the good
housewife makes bread she
does not work the flour but
works it after she has added
the water and yeast, kneads
the dough. Flowing the soil
when dry would be a good deal
like k' eading the flour instead
of the dough. The best time
to pillow is in the fall and early
at that as this will give some
of the effect of the summer fal.
low. In case the soil is dry in
the fall and moist in the spring
better results may come from
the spring blowing.

If meditating in Lenten retreat. No
body has anything to say, or if he has
he exercises powerful restraint over
his emotions and refrains from say
ing it. Even the auctioneer holds his
tongue. Every article that he offers
for sale is simply held up for inspec-
ton.
The wondrous vocabulary with
which Occidental auctioneers pro-
claim the merits Of their wares has
no place in Japanese auction room,
the dramatic thrill Of going, going,
gone" is never felt. Purchasers write
their bids on slip Of paper and send
1t UP by a page. There is no hurry.
Everybody has time to count his
change and make up his mind how
much he can afford to pay.
When the bids are all in the auc-
tioneer coolly turns over the article
to the clerk with the highest bidders
offer and takes up the next thing on
the list. Unless people wish to talk
afterward nobody will ever know what
anybody else bid, not even the price
paid by the successful bidder.
