partially dry the tobacco. Put it in a

Just try one, continued the new
kind of drunkard, rolling one of the
deceptive littlo pacyiges and handing

were harmless, a match was applied

Weather ami Common Seuse.
It docs not always require that a
man should be a propnet to mate a
shrewd guess as to what the weather
will be some months in advance.
Thero are probabilities, we will not
say certainties, regarding times and
seasons that are obvious to every one
who knows the dinerence between
storm and calm, heat and cold. We
kno'V, for instance, that one extreme
is liteiy to ionow anoiuer. ii one
winter is extremely cold it is highly
probable it will be followed by another
correspondingly moderate. An unu
sually cold wave, so called, will gen
erally be succeeded by a spell of
weather of great mildness for the sea
son. To a very dry season, or a suc
cession of dry seasons, there is sure to
succeed a period of weather to make
un the uehciency of- rainlall. It any
particular spring is cold and wet and
late, we may generally expect that the
succeeding autumn wiu uo warm ana
pleasant, and that winter will be slow

cold or unseasonable storms, the com

as fjure as mat tne sun win continue
to rise and set. It is one of the first
lav.-s of nature. that rain shall alternate
with sunshine, storm with calm and
heat with cold, and it is by studying
those movements of the elements more
closely than the rest of mankind that

One of the most novel sights in the

of si.iell seems to be their main guard

t: vir level best to dart up the rocks in
o:-:u.r to ascend the nvcr, and witn
good success. SSays a (isherman :

at ono time by tho suckers of their

last season that I salted and sold to the
Columbia fishermen for bait. I picked
them off the rocks with a fish hook

t llcjntly pick on barrel after barrel.

wet weather. In regard to cold curing,
nearly every one nas ins own treatment.
A few suggestions, however, may not be
amiss. The "nightcap" treatment is
often successful. Another efficacious
remedy is hot onion gruel, and eat
ing a quantity of highly salted food is
good, o lycenne, with cream or whisky,
will relievo a paroxysm of coughing.
Another excellent remedy, on the first
symptoms of cold, is to take, on retiring,
four grains of Dover's powder and two
grams of quinine in pill form. If this is
not successful, repeat the dose next
night.

icnows iney were; not so stalwart as our
navvies, but full of pleasant courtesy
and frank talk. The visit to their huts
naturally led to a discussion upon the
social question. "Wo nave forgotten
Christ," said the count; "wo will not
obey him. And what is the result?
There you have 100 men, each earning

sleep on mattresses and feather beds
when these hardworking men have not
even straw? If you were Christian vou
could not. What right have you to too
much when your brother has not even

the very first step, is for those who have
