Sympathy With Nature.

'Tis an evidence of how directly we
are related to nature that we more or
less sympathize with the weather and
take on the color of the day. Goethe

rometer. One is like a chimney that
draws well some days and won't draw
at all on others. and the secret is
mainly in the condition of the atmos-
phere. Anything positive and decided
pouring rain may be more suspicious
than a sleeping sunshine When the
stove draws well the fogs and fumes
will leave your mind. John Bur
