Old.Fashionsd Weather Signs.

Here are q few weather signs
which are probably older than
any one living to-day. Expert
epee has shown them to be fair
ly reliable, and some os them can
be explained on a scientific basis:
Moonlight nights have the heav
lest frosts.
The higher the clouds, the fin
er the weather.
The farther the sight the near
er the rain.
Dew is an indication Of fine
weather.
When stars flicker in a dark
background rain or snow follow
soon.
Expect a strong wind with
stormy weather when smoke from
chimneys hangs near the ground.
Here are a few in verse. They
have the advantage Of being cas-
lily remembered;
Clear moon, frost soon.
Year of snow, fruit will grow.
Rain before seven, fine before
eleven.
If the sun set in gray, the next
will be a rainy day.
When the winds in the south

The wind in the west suits
every one best.

and towers,
