Fill a tumbler half full with water, put the leech Into It and tie a piece of muslin over tbe top to keep tbe leech from getting out. All you have to do to find out what sort of weather Vtf are going * to “ha va is to watch the little animal. For example, when the day Is to be flue the leech will remain at the bot tom of the glass, colled up in spiral shape and quite motionless. If rain may be expected, It will creep to the top of the glass and stay there until It clears off. If the leech twists "Itself and la very restless, there is going to be a wind storm. If it keeps out of the water for several days, look out for a thunder storm. The Indications for frosty weather are tbe same as fur fine aud for snow, ' tbe same as for rain. In fnct, a leecli Is almost, as good a forecaster as the weather man himself. , . A Comedy of Error«. When Baron Haussmann went to Constantinople on.» visit to Abdul Aziz, who was th»u sultan, he had an Inter view with the grand vizier _w^o did not know a word of French. At tbe begin ning of tbe interview tbe old long Turk ish pipes were brought In, aud tbeb Baron Haussmann began making a very long speech in French. The grand vlsler could not understand a word, bur listened most attentively till he noticed that ids pipe had gone out and chipped his band for a servant to come and re light it. Haussmann, thinking be was applauding, rushed toward liim with outstretched hand, intending to-shake bauds and thank him.
