1t may be said that Maury laid the
foundation FOR our modern weather bu-

the national nautical observatory and

the cause of the gulf stream and the
existence of that plateau in the north
Atlantic ocean which, if | am not mis-

nature, if the expression is allowable,
is the manner in which the young of
the common wolf spider treat their
mother After the little creature has
laid her eggs she envelops them in a
silken covering, so as to make ball
about the size of pea, and this she
carries about with her wherever she
goes and will defend 1t with her life.
When the young are Matched they
climb on her back, giving her a mon
strous appearance, and ride about until
nearly half grown, and as soon as they
discover their strength they fall to and

When Life Is Sweet.

1t is not the walking merely, it is
keeping yourself in tune for walk, in
the spiritual and bodily condition in
which you can find entertainment and
eXhlaration in so simple and natural a
'pastime. You are eligible to any good
fortune when you are in the condition
to enjoy a walk. When the air and the
water taste sweet to you, how much
else will taste sweet! When the eXer-
else of your limbs affords you pleas
,ure, and the play of your sense upon
the various objects and shows of ma
ture quicllens and stimulates your spir-
it, your relation to the world and to
yourself is what it should be-simple
and direct and wholesome. The mood
in which you set out on a spring or
,autumn ramble or a sturdy winter
walk, and your greedy feet have to
be restrained from devOuring the dis
tances too fast, is the mood in which
your best thoughts and, impulses come
to you, or in which you might embark
upon any noble and heroic enterprise.
Life is sweet in such moods the uni
verse is complete, and there is no fail
,ure or imperfectiOn anywhere.-JOhn

ARE A PEOPLE OF CONTRASTS
But the Majority of Italians, Like
Their Country, Have Great Phys
icaI Beauty and Charm.

Province by province, Italy mani
tests a varying charm, and the people
differ as widely rs their surroundings.
The hOt-blOOded sOutherner observes a
different standard of morals and n.y.
giene, fires to anger or interest more
quickly, and is generally less depend
able and industrious than his northern
brother. Both are gifted with the black

pleXion, as Il race, that is general
characteristic Of the Latin people. But
the Italian is, broadly speaking, like
his country, endowed with a physical
beauty and charm beyond that of most
of his fellows.
In the north, however, remarks a
writer in the National Geographical
Magazine, there are eXceptiOns-fair-
haired and reddish men and women,
who seem strangely out of place among
their dark neighbors. Cool, tempera-
ture eXotics they are among the higher
colored growths that somehow seem
SO tropical, with their sultry smiles and
fathOmleSs mysterious eyes, in which
forever broods the shadow of the pur-
pie mountains that always and every

delightful carabinieri or rural guards,

parade always solemnIy in pairs, hang
ers at their sides, cockades in their

Pass by. Love stays.
Underneath the dial is a stone seat
on which one may rest to ponder over
the significance of the poets words.

cool, inviting pergola, lending the

Top Dressing Tests.

This increase of 26 bushels of corn
per acre is equal to the average corn
crop of the United States, yet it was
produced, simply by top dressing a
timothy sod. The increase in the hay
crop paid for the fertilizer and left
substantial profit. The gain in the
corn crop was all "velvet" except the
cost of handling. Nowhere can we get
better returns than by fertilizing the
grass crop.
