If it is brittleand hard, the weather will be fair, but if it be-comes soft and pliable, look out for wet weath-er, because the air is then full of moisturewhich we cannot feel, but which the ginger-snap quickly absorbs. A plummet makes a good little metal weight will serve, attached to apiece of leather whip-cord. Or a straight stripof rawhide will do. You must wait for a mod-erate day, when it is neither raining nor ex-tremely bright and hot. When such a daycomes, hang up your plummet by the a card securely behind it, and make aline just where the bottom of the weight touch-es. Above this line write, WET, and belowthe line write DRY. When the air is damp,the cord will shrink and this will haul up theplummet above the line into the wet it becomes dry and hot, or when it isgoing to remain so, the cord will stretch outand the weight will fall below the line into thedry half. Peter Johnson, FOR VERY LITTLE FOLK Verses by Mattie Lee Hausgen. Her sweethearts arc so many She cannot count them all;There re Tom and Will and Benny And Jim—and Robbie re so glad to be with her You often hear them say:Its a fine day, Miss Mary; Do, please, walk h6me our way ! HER NEW HAT The hat is leghorn—I suppose;Once in a while a tiny rosePeeps out from wreath of green leaves small;But—guess what / like best of all ?The streamers—made of ribbon blue!They hang from loops and bow-knots trueDown on my neck, a yard or they tickle and I laugh!
