The Why ef the Rainbow.
A French woman of noble family,
who had been unfortunate in her
marriage, one day said to a party
of friends who were dining at her
house:
“ I should like to be married in
English, in a language in which
vows are so faithfully kept.”
“ What language, I wonder, was
•he married in before?” one guest
remarked.
“ Broken English, I suppose,” re
plied the other. — Kansas City
Times.
The rainbow is produced by the
reflection o f sunbeams on falling
raindrops. We must look toward
the raindrops in order to see the re
flected rainbow, and not toward the
sun, which must be behind ns. In
the afternoon, when summer thun
derstorms occur, the sun is west o f
us; therefore we turn our backs to
the sun and see the rainbow eaat of
us. We can see a rainbow in the
west when thunderstorms occur in
the morning— that is, in the west
while the sun is in the east— S t
