Heights ofCloud.
At sunset we see a band of stratus
clouds In the west, seeming to rest upon
the horizon. How far distant from the
point of observation is the pltco where
those clouds are directly overhead ? A
Stratus clouds ere variola In height.
Generally low in winter and higher is
summer. Their height may ba from
S00 to 6,000 feet. Clouds S00 feet may
be seeu oc the horizon at 35 miles dis
tant. At 2,000 feet high they may he
seen GO ar more miles, and at 3000 feet
60 miles.
What is the average height above the
earth's surface of the approaching
storm cloud, as we see it creeping up
from the horizon before a thunder oi
rain storm ? Of the cumulus ? Of the
cirrus? A. Thunderstorm clouds are
rery variable in height 500 to 3000
feet. The cloud) iu thunderstorms may
toe very deep, two or five miles or more.
Hence the appearance as to distance is
very deceptive. Cumulus clouds are
intermediate, and generally occupy a
position from 2000 to 5000 feet above
the earth. Cirrus cloud? are the high
est, and are from 10,000 to 30,000 above
the earth. .
What rule may be given for finding
the distance of clouds from the place of
observations when their angular distance
above the horizon and their approxi
mate htlht above the earth's sui face
are known. A. Calculations for the
distance and height of clouds are very
uncertain, from the difficulty of obtain
ing correct observation; simultaneous
trigonometrical triangulation from a
known base, and computation, are the
only method of determining the dis
tance. Halloween.
The amusements of this eve greatly
vary in different localities, and among
different people. In some sections, par
ties, where all the ladies, are dressed in
calico or a kindred material, and their
male attendants are arrayed in vests,
coats and neckties of the same mateaial,
are the vogue. Frequently the young
ladies send sufficient material, like their
gowns, for the gentlemen's outfits, to
the house of the person who gives the
party. Then on an evtniDg, a week
previous to said party, all the gentlemen
invited, meet and select their materials.
This they have made in coats, vests and
neckties, without knowing to whom
they are indebted. On Halloween, as
each gent walks into the reception-room,
he selects, for his partner, the young
lady wearing the gown that matches his
coat. Thus, according to tradition, be
learns his fate in the lottery of matri
mony. Anotner way is, for each lady,
to make a necktie from material like
the gown she is f wear. All these
neckties are pet in a box, in tbe gentle
men's dressing-room and each selects
what to him, is the prettiest and most
neatly made. He choose, for his part
ner. ine young lady with gown to
match.
The menu of this feast embraces nuts.
apples doughnuts and cider, anc some
times a simple domestic cake. The gen
tlemen of the party should, to carry out
the "idea," crack all tbe nuts, and
then act as waiters, passing the refreshs
ments to the ladies. No servants should
appear on the scene.
If anything in ' this world makes
man feel badly, except pinching his fin
gers in the crack of a door, it is unques
tionably a quarrel. No man ever fails
to think less of himself than before.
it degrades him in the eyes of others.
and what is worse, blunts his sensibili
ties on one band and increases the pow
er of passionate irritability on the other,
xce irutn is, tbe more peacefully and
quiet we get along the better it is for
our neighbors. In nine cases out of
ten the better course is. If a man cheats
you cease to deal with him, if he is
abusive quit his company, and if he lies
about you, so conduct yourself that no
body wiil believe him. No mattei who
ne is, or now he missuses you, the wis
est way is to let him alone : for there
is nothing better than this cool, calm
&a quiet way ot dealing with the
wrong we meet with. "Return not

Preparations for Tt later Fairjlng.
The preserit is tbe time to b?in pre
parations for maklog butter in winter.
The first requisite is that the cows shall
come daring the months ot September
and Octorjer. and calculations mast be
made accordingly. Tbe adrantageeof
changing from the old systems of sum
mer dairying to winter operations are
so great that many of the most intelli
gent and progress Its dairy farmers haTe
adopted the latter method. They thus
escape tbe daily and exacting labor of
tbe dairy daring the basy summer
months, when tbe general operations
of tbe farm demand the most attention.
The cows go dry during tbe sultry days
of midsummer, when the pastures are
the most parched and scanty. There
ia no batter to be kept orer through tbe
hot season, when keeping it in good or
der is the most difficult and prices are
tbe lowest. These and other adran-
tages are greatly in farcr of winter
dairying, which has been made practi
cable by the modern improvements in
deep sitting, preserving fodder in silos,
centrifugal separating, etc. With this,
as with other important change?, it Is
the first step that costs. The first
step, as indicated above, is to bold tbe
cows back so they will come in during
September of next year. In tbe vicin
ity of a butter factory il is desirable
that the majority of the patrons shall
agree to make tbe change, that tbe fac
tory may be kept running through the
winter. Those who already have cows
which will come in next fall, or can buy
them, mast see that good shelter is pro
vided, with plenty of ensifage, means
for taking the chill from the drinking
water, etc It is ;idJe to object to this
system as "unnatural" for tbe cows.
The dairy cow, as we have ber to
day, is an artificial product anyway,
which bas been brought to ber present
state of development by a long course
of breeding and care. It is only a step
forward in tbe same direction to change
her season of greatest milk flow from
summer to winter.
llew the Ballooa was Inrested.
Exercise is antagonism ; at each step
force is used to lift up. our bodies and
push back tbe earth ; as the eminent
Joseph Montgolfier said, that when Le
saw a company dancing, be mentally
inverted bis view and imagined the
earth dancing on tbe dancer's feet
which it most unquestionably did. In
deed, his great invention of balloons
was guessed at by bis witnessing a mild
form of antagonism between beat and
gravitation. lie, being a dutiful bus
band, was airing his wife's dresees. who
was going to a ball. lie observed tbe
hot air from the fire Inflated the light
materials, which rose up in a sort of
spheriodial form (you may have some
of you noticed this form in dress !).
This gave him the idea of tbe fire-bal
loon, which, being a large papermarker
at Annocar, be forthwith experimented
on, aud hence we got aerial navigation.
This anecdote was tcld me by his
nephew, il. Seguin, also an eminent
man.
Beading Aloud.
No one can serve others without do
ing good to himself. A good reader,
for instar.ee, gratifies others by reading
aloud, and be also strengthens bis own
body. So wholesome is the practice of
reading aloud, that medical authorities
agree io pronouncing it a bealthy and
invigorating exercise for tbe mind and
tbe body.
The late Sir Henry Holland, an emi
nent London physician, says la bis
'Medical Notes " that persons who
have a tendency to pulmonary disease
should methodically practice "those
actions of the body through which the
chest is in part filled or emptied of air."
lie advises that those whose chests
are weak should read aloud at stated
intervals, and even recite or sing, using
due caution as to posture, articulation,
and the avoidance of excess.
"These regular exercises of the
voice," he adds, "may be rendeied as
salutary to the organs of respiration, as
they are agreeable In their influence on
the ordinary voice."
Soda In Toothache.
Dr. D. Duckworth contributes a
short memorandum on this subject.
lie was called on to treat a case of very
severe toothache, and tried various or
dinary remedies, including chloroform
and carbolic acid, without any benefit
to the patient. He then remembered
having read that that tbe pain might be
relieved by holding in the mouth a solu
tion of soda. lie at once gave tbe
patient half a drachm in an ounce of
water, and, to bis astonishment, the
pain ceased immediately, and complete
relief was secured. He thinks that as
tbe remedy is so simple, and tbe disease
so distressing and often intractible, this
treatment may be worthy of notice and
imitation.
It is't any harder for a woman with
a bustle on to sit down than it is for a
man with a pint flask of cholera mix
ture in bis coat tail pocket to do it.
All he's got to do ia to be a little care
ful, of coune, and that's what a woman
with a bustle on bas to do. The secret
of it is this : When a bustle decked
woman hits down, she does so sldewise.
There is a pretty little trick in it. She
pretends she is goiog to sit on the right
side of tbe chair and makes her first
moye ia that direction, but just as she
reaches the chair she moves gracefully
to tbe other side, tbe bustle rolls to tbe
right, entirely ont of the way of the
sitter, aud tbe problem is solved. So
at least we are told.
Good temper is as an essential factor
in success in almost any department of
life. A superintendent who loses his
temper in his school becomes himself at
once the worst element of disorder and
confusion which he is trying to reduce.
And a teacher who grows cross when
his class is disposed to be unruly bas
lost his las: chance to control the tur
bulenoe.
A bachelor, who particularly bated
literary women, asktd an authoress if
she could throw any light on kissing.
'l could," said she, looking archly at
him, " I U ink it'a better In the dart."

EOirSBURGHESi,
The Danffcr of Beinf a Human Iking
Heredity ia a puzx.f. I: teems to Le
easier ia Ibis world to inherit bad quali
ties than good ones, bat botb sorts make
each leaps and jumps, and are so in
clined to go off on collateral lines, that
tbe succession is difficult to calculate.
Tbe race is linked together in a curious
tangle, so that it is almost impossible
to Gx tbe responsibility. Defects or
vices or virtues will not always go in a
straight line. Tbe children off deaf
mutes, for example, ate not apt to be
deaf mutes, bnt tbe cousins of those
children may be deaf mutes, showing,
it is said, that some remote ancestor of
both had some mental or physical de
fect, which has been transmitted to his
posterity, though not in the form in
which be was afflicted. In moit cases
we cannot do anything about it ; tbe
older onr civilization becomes tbe more
complicated and intrieate are our rela
tions, so that it has already become a
dangerous business to be a human beiog
at all. It is not always certain that if
a man eats sour grapes bis children's
tenth will be set on edge, but the effect
of the soar-grape diet may skip a gener
ation or two. or appear in a collateral
ine. We try to study this problem in
our asylums and prisons, and we get a
great many interesting facts, but they
are too conflicting to guide legislation.
The difficulty is to relieve a person of
responsibility for tbe sins of his ances
tors without relieving him of responsi
bility for bis own sins.
Easily Tamed.
On account of its timidity and the
great ease witt which it can be tamed,
the cobra is the only snake with which
the make-charm era of India will have
anything to do. By attracting its at
tention with one hand, it may be easily
seized round tbe body with the other
and so long as tbe hand or any other
object is kept moving before its eyes, it
will never turn to bite tbe hand that
holds IL This is the simple fact, the
knowledge of which the charmers turn
to such adrantage in their v. ell-known
performances. The snake is taken
from its basket, and a alight stroke
across the back brings it at once into a
defensive attidnde. The constant mo
tion of tbe musical instrumtnt before
the 6nake keeps it watchful and erect,
and cot tbe music produced. As a
matter of fact, snakes have no externa!
ears, and it Is extremely doubtful
whether the cobra bears the music at
all. The charmers say that the adder
of the East, the Daboia, bas no ear for
music, because they cannot operate on
it as they do on the cobra. It is rather
interesting to Dote that this bas been
tbe belief since David's time at least

voice of charmers."
Wise Words.
A precedent embalms a principle.
Be careful. A light heart lives long,
Life is a reckoning we cannot make
twice over.
Impulse can do wonders where pre
paration fails.
The most profound joy bas more of
gravity than gaiety in it.
There is no courage but in innocence,
no constancy but in an honest cause.
Act well at tbe moment, and you
have performed a good action to all
eternity. '
The true use of speech is not so much
to express our wants as to conceal
them.
The man who bas never known ad
versity is but half acquainted with him
self.
Wickedness may prosper for a while ;
but, in the run, he who sets all knaves
at work will pay them.
All that we possess of truth and wis
dom is borrowed good. You will be
always poor if you do not possess tbe
only true riches.
A man of strong character always
makes enemies, but because a man . bis
many enemies you cannot be quite sure
that he is a man of strong character.
How Diphtheria May be Spread.
"Persons are often at a complete loss
ta understand bow diphtheria devel
ops itself in some households' re
marked a local physician a few days
ago. "Here Is a circumstance that
may give some light on tbe subject. A
few momenta ago a man passed here
with a wagon load of apples and garden
truck which he is peddling about town
Only a couple of weeks ago malignant
diphtheria prevailed in his family and
several members died from tbe disease.
Now some of tbe refuse from the sick
chamber might have been splashed over
tbe straw placed in bis Wagoa-bed, or
germs of the disease be in the sacks or
baskets, containing the fruit or vege
tables be is disposing of. Should tbe
disease break out in a family making
purchases from this wagon, its mem
bers would be totally in tbe dark as to
how the dreaded malady originated.
I don't say that such will be tbe case
in Ibis instance.. It simply serves as a
practical illustration of how diphtheria
may, and, no doubt, is sometimes un
wittingly spread through a community."
To Husband and Hire.
Preserve sacredly the privacies of
your own house, your married state and
your heart. Let no father, mother or
brother ever presume to come between
you, or share tbe joys or sorrows that
belong to you two alone. With mutual
help build your quiet world, not allow-
mg yourdeareat earthly friend to be the
confident ot aught that concerns your
domestic peace. Let moments of alien
ation' as tbey occur, be bealed at once.
iNever, no never; speak of It outside,
but to each other confess, and all will
come right. : Never let the morrow's
eun find you at a variance. "Renew and
and re-renew your vow ; It will do you
good, and thereby your minds grow to
gether, contented in that love, which
becomes truly one. v i
Thebe are two things that a farmer
can never have enough of ; One is feed,
the other is manure, for it enables the
farmer to keep more cattle, and some
cm always oe purchased cheaplv In th
tailor winter, and make a good profi.
on the feeding.
