There ean be no doubt, It least in the minds of those who have been at pains to acquire the old weather- lore and to watch by its aid the changes of the weather, that the wise ones of long ago had unfailing barometers in their fields, by the waysides, and even at their hearths, and thereby they bad an interest in ?" Nature which some of us might do worse than try to recover. fs Even 7Gthose who spend the most c.:1 part of their lives in big cities could learn something, and so get closer to Nature, while those who are dwellers in the country could do much more. Par the benefit of both classes we 'give some signs which have been ested, and our readers may verify hem at their leisure. FLOWER BAROMETERS. Expect rain when you find the impernel closed by day. It will rain before sundown if the marigold continues shut after seven in the morning. There will be rain if the eonvolu- lus and the chickweed close.

There has only been,one attempt to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London, and that was when the famous Irish adventurer, "Colonel" Blood, attempted the feat in 1671. The clumsy methods of the notorious "Coionci" are not to be compared with the subtle and scientific ways of the modcru cracksman, but ezee the latter—olid' he possess the genius of a d. zen Raflieses—could 1i'.s.re. ly h 'pe to steal the Crown Jewels from the new Jewel Room, which is now com- pleted in the Wakefield Tower of the Tower of London. The floor and walls are made of solid stone, while a new steel grid has been built to enclose the plate- glass regalia show -case. The bars of this grid are made of the finest tempered steel, the ends being em- bedded in the solid masonerry of the roof and flooring. Connected with this grid is a hidden electric alarm, which instantly warns the custodians of the Tower if a bar be wrenched ever so slightly. The doors of the Jewel Room are iron. lined and fitted with the latest in complicated locks,. The jewels themselves wiii lie in automatically closing steel cases, absolutely burg- lar-proof. While the room is be- ing completed the jewels are kept in the Government strong -room, and when everything is ready they will be taken to the Wakefield Tower under guard and mounted for public exhibition in their new cases be- hind the grid. At one time it was proposed that a trap should be eonstrueted, so that, if necessary. the jewels could be lowered through the stone floor: into the dungeon beneath the Wake- field Tower. This dungeon, how- ever, is below the level of the ie river, and very damp; consequently the scheme was abandoned. As a mat- ter of fact, nothing has been housed in this dungeon. since the Middle Ages, when prisoners languished in the Tower. Europe's total area covers 3,870,- 000 square miles. Easy Breakfast !

A clergyman was accustomed to use scientific terms whiclx,,the people dict not understand. A' deputation waited on him with the request that in the future, whenever he used such terms, he would explain them. On the following Sunday he used the term "hyperbole," and ad - sled :— "As agreed on, I beg to explain this -word. Were I to say that at this moment the whole of my con- gregation are sound asleep, it would be hyperbole, but if I say that one-half are asleep that is not hyperbole, but the truth." The next day the deputation again called to say that the minis- ter need not explain technical terms. The people would learn their meaning from. to dictionary. SOUR CREAM RECIPES.

The keynote of Christianity is power not words. • • Do 'the best you know, that you may know better. You may not nlake a living, but you ean make a life. Friendship is -tile flower of a moment, and the fruit of time. Would you count your true friends? Fall into misfortune. The mountain is composed of atoms, and friendship of trifles. There are advantages in growing old. It settles many questions. Whoever complains of not having found atrue friend accuses himself. In all your work watch some master workman; it is a great help and incentive. Teach your children to create. Don't `always giye them finished products to enjoy. What is your life? It is even a vapor. Steam is a vapor, but, harnessed it moves the world. The extraordinary rests on the ordinary and presupposes it. He who is not ordinary cannot be ex- traordinary. We are cups to quench God's thirst, and God takes pleasure in a man when he fulfills the purpose of his being. It is a common saying that 'a friend is kept by three things : by honoring him in his presence, by praising him in his absence, and by aiding him in his need. Faultless inPreparation.—Un- like any other stomach regulator, Parmelee's Vegetable Pills are the result of long study of vegetable compounds calculated to stimulate the stomachic functions and main- tain them at the normal condition. Years of use have proved their faultless character and established their excellent reputation. And this reputation they have main- tained for years and will continue to maintain, for these pills, must al- ways stand at the head of the list of standard preparations. WHAT HE THOUGHT.
