Whatever Lowers the Temperature Is the Cause of Rain. The general law of aqueous precipi tation may be briefly staled. What ever lowers the temperature of the air at any place below the dew point Is a cause of rain. Va'rlous causes may conspire to effect this object, but It is chiefly brought about by the as cent of tue air Into the higher regions of the atmosphere, by which, being subjected to less pressure, it expands and in doing so lowers its tempera ture. These ascending currents are caused by the heating of the earth's surface by" the sun's rays or, in fact, by anything which raises the temper ature of the superincumbent air, and It Is very obvious that the continual discharge of large pieces of ordnance will have a considerable effect In rais ing the temperature of the air lying on the earth's surface, which will as cend, expand and discharge in aque ous particles In the form of rain for the foregoing reasons. Klndheartedness. The gingham-shlrted boy had made a break to pass the ticket-seller at the circus entrance, but that gentleman had caught him and rudely thrust him back. "Poor little devil," said a Beedy looking man In the crowd. "If I had the money I'd buy him a ticket my self." The crowd looked sympathetic, but said nothing, while the boy sobbed as if his heart would dissolve. "I've only got a nickel, little feller," pout on the seedy looking one, "an' that won't do you no good. Say," ho continued, turning suddenly to the crowd, "let's do one good act In our lives. Let's buy him a ticket." It looked for a minute as If a col lection was to be started, but a benevolent-looking old gentleman nipped it In the bud by slipping a half-dollar Into tho hand of the boy, who prompt ly disappeared into the tent. "I thank you a thousand times for that kind act, sir," said the seedy looking man. "You seem to take quite an Interest in the little fellow," remarked tho benevolent one. "Well, I should think I ought to," nnswered the seedy-looking man, proudly. "That's the only son I got!" Ate Eggs 100 Years Old. At the banquet given In San Fran cisco recently to celebrate the estab lishment of a Chinese Chamber of Commerce priceless Chinese delica cies were served. Among the guests were fifty Americans.

In all there were seventeen courses. A Mild Rebuke. When one woman rebukes another, tho cynical bystander thinks It well to have his ear open. She was a wo man whose clothes were better than her manners, says the Washington Star. She walked Into tho railway car, tilted her hear superciliously, sniffed once or twice, and asked, In a loud voice: "la this the smoking car?" "No, ma'am," answered a demure young woman In tho first seat "I think you'll find It three cars for ward." Jumped at Conclusion. Two small boys had strayed In the mummy room of a certain museum.

A Dellever In organized charity cites the following as an example of misdirected tender-he.artedness: A very benevolent, but absend mlnded old gentleman, riding in his carriage one hot July day, noticed a toad In the dusty road gasping ,wjth the heat. In the kindness o'f " his heart he climbed down, tenderly moved the poor toad Into the shade of his carriage, and then, thoroughly satisfied with his good deed, climbed up again and drove on. UNFORTUNATELY PUT. He What a beautiful set of teeth she has. She Yes, he inherited them from nor mother. Measure of Train Speed. A traveler waited at a certain English provincial town In vain for, the much overdue train on the branch lino. Again he approached the solitary sleepy-looking porter and Inquired for tho twentieth time. 'Isn't that train coming soon?"

Shoes In Which She Could Walk Far ther Than In Others. Mrs. Frlnk was a trusting soul, and rarely questioned the opinions of oth ers about matters concerning which they wero supposed to be Informed. Ono day she came home with a pair of new shoes under her arm. "Got them at Brides'," she explained, "and they're the best I ever bought you." "What is so very good about them?" Inquired her son, for whom the shoes wero Intended, "Why, the salesman said that you could walk farther in them than In any others without getting tired, and I said that you couldn't walk very far Just now on account of your knee, you know, and he said that he meant farther for the same distance. So I boi'ght them, and hero they are. Save the string, please." She did not notice the smile on her son's face as he undid the package, and he was spared the trouble of ex plaining. A Punctual Bird. What tempts tho little humming bird that we see in our gardens to travel every spring from near the equator to as far north as tho arctic circle, leaving behind him, as he does, for a season, many tropical delights? He Is thi only one of many humming birds tnat placidly loaves tho land of galiy colored birds, to go Into volun tary exile In the North, east of tho Mississippi. How It stirs the Imagina tion to picture the solitary, tiny mi grant, a mero atom of blrdllfe, mov ing above the range of human sight through the vast dome of the sky! Borne swlftiy onward by rapidly vi brating little wings, he covers the thousands of miles between his winter home and his summer one by easy stages, and arrives at his chosen des tination, weather permitting, at ap proximately the same date year after year. What a methodical and punc tual bird! Tho Sabbath School Vlsl tor. A Good Reason. A professor tells this story at his own expense. He was Instructing a class of boys about the circulation ot the blood and to make sure that they understood him he said: "Can you tell me why it Is that If X stood on my head the blood would rush to my head, and when I stand on my feet, there is no rush of blood to the feet?" Then a small boy, after pausing for a short time, answered: "It is because your feet are not empty, sir." the Now Shades.
