weather is the one subject which affects
us ALL and its variability gives it an in.
exhaustible interest We may be thank.
full for such an admirable subject of con-
versation. 3
But the extreme capriciousness of our
weather produces the most serious prac-
teal consequences. We do not ask OF
science to control it. There are bold
spirits who talk of producing rain when
it is needed and of dispensing clouds or
providing substitute for the sun when
he refuses to shine; but these are dreams
with no more substance than the clouds
which come and go at will. What we
might reasonably look forward to. how
ever, is such knowledge of the rea-
sons why they come and so as will en-
able us to tell whether they intend to
come or go long enough beforehand to
make our dispositions Then we should
not be reduced to water famines as we
understand is the case at this moment
with unfortunate people in the North,
where they have been overtaken by an
other unprecedented freak OF the
weather. Nor would British agriculture
be subject to those cruel calamities
which have had so much to do with it's
happy plight. What are poor farmers
TO do when one year is unprecedentedly
wet without the slightest hint of what Is
coming? Can any science offer us a
greater service than even a partial UNI
yelling of these mysteries would render?

and his plant will touch responsive
chord in many hearts, this year of
transposed months:
Sir:-The open season for insults is
here, and the man who is sensible
enough to dress for comfort is liable to
ridicuIe and assault. Why is it that a
man can wear a straw hat in May or
June with an overcoat when it is nearly
freezing cold. and nothing is said to him,
but IL he wears a straw hat after the
middle of September, no matter how hot
the weather is. he must be hooted at by
a lot of toughs and FOOLS
The rowdy who allows what brains he
had to run away with senseless fash
ion that was set by some fad fiend will
stand on corner and insult man who
has sense enough to dress according to
the thermometer and not to the calen-
dar; but the same rowdy will wear low
cut summer shoes and a hot-weather
shirt all winter, and no one will insult
him for it,

King Solomons prayer, Tive thy
servant an understanding heart to
Judge thy people, is the prayer
sometimes uttered and someties not,
of the Judges who Iarst pass upon the
constitutionality of laws for human
betterment, writes Chief Justice John
Il. Winslow, of the Wisconsin State
Supreme Court, in The Survey. The
Judge of an understanding heart sees
the reason behind the law, realizes the
slow change in written constitutions as
we'll as the rapid change in social con-
ditions, and tries 10 Judge fairly of an
eighteenth century constitution which
forms the charter of liberty for
twentieth century government. 1t is
not easy for man who tries not to

reason That great progress has been
made in spite of the difficulties, Judge
Winslow shows by citing decisions
