After everything is removed from the table, gather tho cloth carefully so as not to crush it, shako off tho crumbs and fold in the samu creases.

When all thu dishes nro piled aw ay in their pi ices, wash the tablo and sink clean, also thu ton els aud dishcloths, aud then they are dry by the time they are wanted again. It is quito as necessary that the tins and cook ing duhej should bo carefully washeU as tho tablewaio. Try and not leave any dishes over to next time, as little girls are often tempted to do, for )ou never know at w hat unexpected moment that particular1 dish may lm called into mo, and it is alnajs harder to doit after thu regular work is done. Then, if jou dis like to wash dishes, don't stop to think of it, but go right at it and be done with It. and by- nnd-by j ou w ill feel a pndo in doing it, if j ou no it well, Lennox Itay sprang fro.n tho train aud hastened up tho green lanu to tho wide, old- fashioned farm house, carrying his valise in his hand. "I wonder if Nauuio got my notu aud is looking for mo? Hallo I" This last exclamation was drawn from Hay's lips by a cherry, width coming from alxnu somewhere, came into sudden contact w ith his nose. He looked up, and thcro, perched like a gnat bird, upon the limb of a huge old cherry tree, and looking dow n at linn with dancing eyes aud brilliant thicks, wasajoung girl. "How do, Lennox?

VlrirlnU City (Nov.) KnUrrrle. Prof. Legato has just returned from a trip into the Sierras of eighty days' duration. lit had with him two assistants and kisown vehi cle for the transportation cf hit instruments, aud camped out most of tht time. Tht object of tho professor's trip was the study f reetat iutcrtstiug meteorological changes in tht ele vated regions of tho Sierras. If wat led to believe that during the present season tho warm belt had shifted South. Ilruiniilnii at a point just North of Lake Tnhoe, the snow has not melted away as in former years. 1 here are now banks of suow from fiO to 100 feet In depth at points where heretofore at this season uo snow has lain. Nearly tht whole of this suow will remain where It now lies until tho snows of Winter again sst in. Up towanl the head waters of the North Fork of the Yuba river, where no snew Is usually seen at this season, it has but little more then begun to disappear. In that place are to be ecu hugn Kinks of snow, under which flow thu waters of tho stream, forming arches or natural bridges 100 feet It height, and from 200 to .100 feot in -vidth. It was for tho purpose of asctrtalninir the causa of this remarkable change of ellmate that l'rof. Legate went on his expedition into tho mountains. 'Ihrough the resultsobtained by olucrintlons made at many points with various delicate instruments, but principally by means of careful thermometries! tests, tht professor has established tho fact that thtrt has occurred in the range of tht Sierra Nevada mountains this season a grand isothermal change. Jlo limls.that tht warm current of air which over since the settlement of Califor nia by Americans nnd probably ages before has moved upward from the Paiillo aealioaril totheSIirrn Nevada mountains and thenco turned aud flowed to tho Northward along the West side of the main ridge of the range, thus giving to all regions in that direction a warm climate, no longer moves in that direction. It now comes up from tho side of tho ocean mid iMitirs Kastwanl directly across the crest tf tht Sierras near Lako Taline. l'rof. Legato has satisfied nimself that this svonilirful ihanco, which Is Having all the Northern parts of thu Sierras buried In snow. Summer aud Wiutir, Is canned by the denuda tion of timlivr which thu mountains havo suf fered throm-h a bolt heL'ililiihir at I Jikn Talma and extending somo i.0 miles Southward.
