President Isaac Lewis of Sabina, Ohio, is highly respected all through that section. He has lived in Clinton Co. 75 years, and has been president of the Sabina Bank 20 years. He gladly testifies to the merit of Hood’s Sarsa- parilla, and what he says is worthy attention. All brain workers find Hood’s Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted te their needs. It makes pure, rich, red blood, and from this comes nerve, mental, bodily and digestive strength.

“Tam giad to say that Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla is a very good medicine, especially asa blood purifier. It has done me good manytimes. For several years I suffered

greatly with pains of

Neuralgia

fm one eye and about my temples, es- pecialiy at night when I had been aaving a hard day of physical and mental labor. Itook many remedies, but found help only in Hood’s Sarsaparilla which cured me of rheumatism, neuralgia and headache. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has proved itself a true friend. I also take Hood’s Pills to keep my bowels regular, and like the pills wery much.” Isaac LEWIS, Sabina, Ohio.

CLOUDLAND.

BY A BANKER.

How full of mystery are the clouds ? How is it possible that millions of tons of water, which is 770 times the weight of air, can remain suspended at an ele- vation at which tHe air must be in a state of high rarefaction, and therefore still less capable of supporting heavy weights ? This reflection appears to have occurred to the Patriarch Job when he exclaimed “ He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. ” Mountaineers and aeronauts declare that when at an altitude of four or five miles, the cirrus clouds, which are said to be formed of minute spangles of ice, appear as high as when viewed from the surface of the earth, floating there- fore upon almost nothing In heavy weather, however, when the clouds are in a state of greater condensation, they are not more than half-a-mile high,and are then as much as ten miles or more in length and breadth, and two miles thick, and therefore contain two hund- red cubic miles of watery vapour. Such a cloud in temperate climates might be estimated to discharge an inch of rain, the weight of which, calculated at the rate of one hundred tons an acre, would be the prodigious quantity of sixty-four thousand tons of water held in suspension in the atmosphere in one single cloud. In tropical countries, however where clouds are much denser, a similar cloud might discharge prehaps six inches of rain, the weight of which would be nearly four hundred thousand tons. A_ partial explanation of the reason why clouds float in the atmos- phere is the fact that the earth, both sea and land, being warmer than the surrounding; air, a warm _ persistent current is perpetually, though insensib- ly, ascending from the -surface and bearing upwards the vapours generated by continuous evaporation which would otherwise rest upon it without ever rising. In still weather in winter,when the temperature of the earth is lowered, the clouds frequently rest upon the sur- face in the form of fog, which is but cloud under another name, until a wind springs up and drives the mist before it, when the normal upward current recommences.

Another difficulty in connexion with this subject which scientists have hither- to failed to explain satisfactorily, is the reason why the rainfall differs so very materially in different. districts of the same country. For instance at Kendal, which is stated to have the heaviest rainfall in all Europe, the anual rainfall is no less than fifty-four inches, where- as the average for London is little more than twenty inches. The surrounding ‘hills and lakes can have but little influence on the matter, for many p'aces similarly situated have but a nor- mal rainfall ; moreover the supposition that mountains necessarily attract clouds appears to be an erroneous pop- ular idea, though under certain circum- stances the movement of clouds may be arrested in the vicinity of mountains when the currents of air are thereby deflected and neutralized.

The upper surface of thunder clouds, as witnessed from the summit of a high mountain, is one of the finest sights in nature. ‘The writer once had the goob fortune to ascend one of the Swiss mountsins during a thunderstorm which occurred in the midst of the ascent.

He was for some time surronded with heavy thunder clouds, which at short intervals burst forth into appalling discharges of rolling thunder, the light- ning meanwhile playing around him in vivid but diffused flashes of light, which

illumined the heavy darkness of the encompassing clouds. Some travellers have related that under similar circum- stances the electricity has encircled them as witha haloof glory ; this saintly appearance, however, was not reserved for him on that occasion. On continuing the ascent the storm gradually appeared to recede beneath him, the cloudvapour became less dark and threatening, the thunder rolled long and loud as it were beneath his feet, and the lightning flashes became less and less evident, though doubtless in the valley below the storm was still raging with undiminished fury ; when suddenly he emerged from the dark- ness into glorious sunshine. ‘The spectacle now was transcendant beyond the power of words to express. As far as the eye could reach great rolling masses of cloud stretched out beneath, of a dazzling and brilliant whiteness, in all manner of fantastic shapes, some towering above their fellows and anon rolling over and merging into other radiant forms, others appearing like the villows crowned with crests of pure white foam, breaking on the shore after a storm, while all appeared as if, instead of being but floating vapour, they were chiselled out of the purest and whitest alabaster, so solid and tan- gible did they seem. At intervals the points of other mountains rose sheer through the billows of white, while

here and there great and ever-widening

gaps appeared, through which the land scape beneath gradually came into. view.

Fit emblem all this of the life of many here below! ‘They are encom- passed on alisides with the dark clouds of doubt and unbelief, and are harassed with the storms of temptation, from which they have no power of them- selves to protect themselves ; they are never free from the fear that the light- ning stroke of Divine vengeance may strike them down; and though the thunder of His wrath continuously sounds on their ears they make not the slightest effort to escape from the storm into the brilliant sunshine ot His mercy which is close above them. But unless they do make good their escape and ascend into the sunshine of God’s favor,.the storm must inevitably drown them in perdition, and the glorious scene, which, had they taken a few steps upwards would have been theirs, is now lost to them for ever !

Wasuixgtos, May 16.—President Mc- Kinley has not yet decided whether he will senda message to Congress on the Cuban situation. He still has the matter under consideration and will not finally determine what he will do until tomorrow morning.

Winxirec, Man. May 17.—Mr. Fraser, the government engineer, has completed a survey of the Rainy River rapide at Long Sault, and wil! leave for Ottawa in a few days tomake bis report.

All the steamers at present leaving Rat Portage are crowded with pros- pectors and others bound for the Seire river district. The new Canadian Pacific steamer Keenora will be placed on the route next month. Twenty men have left Rat Portage for Fort Francis en route to the Manitou river, where the govern- ment has decided to construct dame, which will dood the lover Manituu lake and make if navigable.

Sorry For the Sinners,

A little girl was graciously permitted one bright Sunday to go with her mamma to hear papa preach. It was a time of great rejoicing and responsibility, and the little face wasall alight with happy antici- pation.

Now, it chanced that on this special oc- casion papa’s sermon was of the ‘‘warn- ime’’ order, and his earnest voice rang sol- emnly in the Sunday quiet. After a mo- ment of breathless surprise and horror the little listener’s soul was wrought upon with a great pity for the poor mortals up- on whorn so much wrath was descending.

She rose excitedly to her feet, and, her wide, reproachful eyes just peeping over the back of the seat, qilled out in sweet, chiding tones:

‘What for is you scolding all the people 80, papa?’'— Pearson's Weekly.

Tho Best Dancers.

Americans are the best dancers in the world, says Carl Marwig. The Russians come second and the Spaniards third. The French and Germans do not count. When Americans dance abroad every one clse stops dancing to watch them. A leader of cotillions, Mr. Marwig believes, is born, not made. He nsust have a certain mental cleverness and quickness. His figures must be developed as the dance progresses, They must be shuple as well as attractive, and the man who is not a bern cotillion leader will not make the dance a success. —New York Times.
