groundhog as barometer
Queer Habits of Little Animal Indi
cates Weather All the Year.
Huffalo Nowb: Crlchelow Smith
has discovered tho ovoryday use of
tho groundhog.
"I havo found how to untlllzo tho
groundhog as a barometer," said he.
"It la something of n discovery, too.
TCcvor before has It been known, but
a groundhog Is tho best barometer
all the year through that naturo af
fords. Everybody Uiiowb that on
Candlemas day tho groundhog comes
out of his hole and If ho sees his
shadow returns for six weeks more
of sleep, because there will bo that
much more winter. Dut I found by
observing tho .llttlo animal ho can
foreenst tho weather all tho year
round, and I havo n tamo groundhog
on my farm In Pennsylvania who
does beats tho weather bureau all
hollow,
"When It Is going to rain tho
groundhog won't drink for a week
at least. Ho knows he'll get enough
water when wet weather comes.
Whon n drought is due ho will drink
llko a fish. 1 havo tried It out, plac
ing my pot groundhog, Pcto, in a
room with a dish of water.
"I keep a pllo of straw In the
Toom too. If wnrm weather Is com
ing ho doesn't bother It, but If It Is
duo to be cold ho will gnther it into
n nlco comfortable nest three days
to n wool; ahoad of tho cool weather,
In winter he uses tho nest all tho
time, of course, but then ho will eat
moro nhead of cold weather than ho
will before n warm snell, storing up
naturo's fuel for cold, I suppose.
"Ho even forotolls earthquakes
nnd calamities of that sort. I car
ried him with me In n cage to Cali
fornia sovoral years ago and n fort

wont ernzy nt that time gnawed his

Them I would greet ns kind nnd

Why should tho tolling of home
truths always mean tho telling of
something unplonBnnt to tho listen
er? And why cannot dtherwleo kind
nnd worthy pcoplo restrain their
ardor for, truth In this direction?
Tho kindly scrap of praise, or en
couragement, or oven (lattery, con
tained In n pleasant homo truth could
only do good mid mnko for happi
ness. Yet tho homo truthcr who will
Insist on tho unbccomlngncss of n
hnt will nover dream of uttering a
true trlbuto to tho char pi lug face
boncnth it, nnd tho truthful critic of
his family's backsltdlnga nnd down
fallings will never think It tho least
necessary to remark on their success
ful steps forwnrd. ,
Pleasant things nro so much' pleas
nntor saying. Encouragement Is so
Infinitely moro helpful thnn criticism.
Oh, why cannot homo truths bo
mndo agreeable truths?
No mnn can got on so well In this
world ns ho whoso dally walk nnd
conversation aro clean and consistent,
whoso henrt is puro, nnd whoso llfo
Is honorable. A religious spirit helps
every man. It Is a comfort nnd an
Inspiration, nnd mnkes him strongor,
wiser, nnd bettor In ovory relation of
life, Thero Is no substitute for it.
It mny bo nssalled by Its enemies, ns
It has been, but they offer nothing
In Its place. It has stood tho test of
centuries nnd has nevor tailed to
help and bless mnnklnd. It Is strong
er todny thnn at any provlous period
of its history. Tho world has rever
ence for truth nnd religion, nnd cour
ageously follows their teachings.
Employment nwalts his coming and
honor crowns his pnth. Moro than

discharges with mnnly honesty.
