No donbt manyof onr readers have noticed colored flags flying from the roof of tlte qnitable: BuHdiBfc which are termed storm signals. This feature is one of the most important in the Signal Service, especially to thoSe engaged in the shipping interests. Contrary to the general belief these flags' are displayed Jy. to warn against dangrori winds and 'sot for storms of rain or mow. There are twosighafe; onetjein? a large red flag with a. black center and the oilier a inVa.' ler red flag with a black center display ed below a white flag with a j black center. The former signal indicates the approach of a strong wind Irom .any : quarter and the latter denotes an offshore gale. At night colored .lanterns are hoiEted'in ptacnf flags. ."", These Sags are ; ilisplayf d only by orders from Washington, and not, at the instance of , the local observer.

At tne JUcchanic's Fsir .in thi(y cily there was an exhibit' of all the methods And instruments now used by the signal servic?, also the nuvps, charts, etc.. employed, and the general, workings of the department howiu. Besides the above, the apparatus Vised by the service during the war was displayed, contrasting the difference with that now employed. The exhibit on the main floor of the Urge building, proved jae of the most interesting features of the fair. Judging from the past history of the service it would be diiliciilt to fix a limit to its future advancement. New discoveries are made each yes ; the department is in communication with scientific men in other oountriea, and ' Stations are constantly being locsted at points particularly adapted fer observation. Who can tell but that in a short time the Signal Service may net only foretell disastrous ; storms, but be able in a mea uro to mitigate them, to oiler -suggestions for inducing rain in sections suffering from longcontinued dronght, and to temper the fierce heat of summer and allay the winter's jeold ?

The Seashore Home of tins city begs the physicians connected with the dispensary to send for its hospitality the eliudrtsir most in danger and- they do so. Bo favorablo is the effect of tho prompt change to their quarters at Winthrop, that, last year, of 11)4 sick, cliildren received, only one died uf. cholera . infantum. One other cl.ild.died from organic disease of the braiu. , One hundred and eighty-
seven were discharged well, and four relieved.. The results in New York of the seashore treatment are as favorable. The terrible mortality there this Summer

How-to Select a Cow. Hon. H. Lewis, of NewTork, read a paper before a convention ot dairymen mi Ontario, from which tro extract : Agahs, one breed of cows will do well on some land,, where some other breed would. boT. almost or quite worthless. Hence, I advice every dairyman to select that, partipular cow or breed best suited to his to ' Is; .whet, she is to obtain ler food, and best adapted to that branch ot dairy firming in which he is engaged. If, for instance, your pasture lands are rough,, or on steep side bills, select; a small, active cow, and if butter-mddug is your busjn?8s the Jersey or Devon and their grades from our native cows Bill prove;, satisfactory. -But 4f -ctieee-making is your busineHs, or the prodnctioii of- milk for market, the : Ayrshire in tho cow. While her milk w w ell adapted finw-ebeese or for market, it is better than the average cow's for bnttfr. Again, if yonr pasture lands are productive and moderately level, with but-ter-niaking jrorir liusiness, select the Holdemess or the Princess family A Short-horns;' or their grades from our native cows. But if cheese or mili only, be your object, the Hblsteins will prove satisfactory. As 'the selection of individual cows, suited to our several forms nnd adapted to our various wants, would bp top much of an undertaking, and require so much time ind care, it can be done bast by select ions from our herds of native cows, aud tlte use' on the j of a thorough-bred bull cif. tiift.t,,beed desired. lit thin way, if tli' selections ba carefully made, a herd can be built up in a little while founded on our native stock and ntamftll exjienae, tar exceeding in value any of our ordinary herds. It has been a matter of surprise to me that our intelligent and progmiBive dfdryinen ilo not more generally adapt their cows to their 'several wants by breeding a suillcient numlnr each year to make good the annual loss from old age, accident; and disease, A cow reared on the farm where Bhe is to remain is nlwitys moie valuable . to her owner taaa. a strange coya' First, she is acclimated; second, she is Acquainted with the herd with which she tuuEi: associate; third, she is familiar with the- lands from which she obtains her food, and can travel over it with greater ease than a strange cow.
Hon to Learn the Art of Kissiing, Kuwinff mav lie' said to lie like swimmiiijr. The kisser must abandon hi nisei"' wholly to the business close his eyes, as it were, and trust to the natural buoyancy of his body to recover himself after the ecstatic plunge. A girl takes to kissing as kittens tako to sport, with a natural aptitude for the quintessence of its delight Under tho tuition of any girl the most bashful youth soon loams tho. operation of tho lips, and, once learned, the art is 'never lost. No rules can be gi ven for the pursing or the placing of the lips. The suggestion thai; it. might be practiced before the mirror is not worth considering, an there is an intellectual process in tho nrtistde development of i kisK which citimof bo -ttiiim
! hit ed or mvokt'il save under the. eyi of I the mvi.or of the lips that atvite. trad under; tin tender spell Hint iruwf'
those same tips into the one object in all tho world that the lover yearns to taste. The sign of a right-sort Of H kiss is numistakabie. ' There is a mounting color in the' cheek and a softer glitter in the eyo,' th tells' the story with yoUfH- pr maid. There iHstory that the mustache plays a lending part 'in the perfect kisB, but this mu'st be a. matter of option, as Byron who was so fond of kisses, longed to have all tho kissablo lips in" llie' world made into ouo mouth that Uo might kibs it had HQ mnataclie. Julius Cwsfuytqii, vio Eoppc4 jnto kissiirg as a relaxation, had no beard. Indeed, the chronicles of kissing would probably show that the beardless gallants, whoso kissing made the happiness of the Queons of old, were noao the less effective with lips that knew no beard. Of Brains and Brass. The characteristic American of to-day is a compound of two prominent qualitiesbrains and brass. Without either oMu'eWhe is an utterly worthless mortal, and with one of them he is unbalanced and unfit for the demands of the age. The man of mere intellect may be a fine scholar, and u thoughtful reader, but he can never mingle successfully in the busy activities of the world, at large. Tho man of mere conceit may be conspicuous and receive attontiou beoause of his iiertiniicity.bui.hB can never grasp
I the great themes which absorb mankind i at present. lt needs a combination of
thd two elements to achieve success. Call it "nerve," "cheek," "overdrawn assurance" whatever you will, this spirit of push; of. unbounded perseverance, is a recognisied feature of the true American. ' And there is no, reason to 'nionhi its existence. It is "a necessary factor in ' modern lil'a 'In the midst of the rush aud hncnof-these days a man will .be-Jeft iu the Mitrio does not mhke himself, aggressive. Mere braiu pov.er is ubt nnbugh. There must be some means whereby the. ability can be mnhifesfed. ' Brass a determination to make tho .tt'tiriiLffioL the brain -powes-ef - theHnan is tliw incans. It need not be shown iu a way to annoy or disgust, Quietly, but pcf.-isteiitly, the 3infeHeci4ay W made to influence the Uvea of others. The gtnius of the head may he,.perted through the grasp of the hand nnd the gonerafr 'familiarity which follows thereby. It requires pluck but that is only a more polite name for the same thing. Brass is only courage modernized, and the uge is fast adopting it. It appears everywhere. The drummer is brass personified in business ; the book agent iu the publishing trade; the reporter in journalism; the pettifoger iu law, and the secretary of the various boards in the ministry. Yet all of these eventually -fnil unless they have the brains wherewith to back up and reinforce the brass. The bashful lover is fast becoming an historical character, yet the bold lover often fails because what he took for affection was only cheek. Great 'scholar, m a general thing, make nerveless lovers. They try to woo through the head instead of through the heart, and fail, because it is the heart which generates bcldness and sweeps all barriers away. There is no key to this combination. Most men are born with or without trains, and most men oonie into the world with or without brass. To cultivate brass, is like trying to cultivate brains. If one hasn't the thing to begia with he can't very well cultivate it. Ability is generally natural, and so is courage. To pick them up afterwards in the hardest kind of work. Yet unquestionably they are absolutely requisite in these rapid times. -To wait in tho lowermost place in order to get nn invitation to come up higher, is pretty 1'ioor policy nowadays. If yon don't let it be known that you are around some e-thor fellow will climb over you and achieve wealth and renown. A learned man might live all his life and no one hear of his knowledge. There mnst be (some vehicle for carrying it out into the activities of life, otherwise it will be wasted. The beet vehicle is brass determination and scU-possession united. The man of brass hiid bruins is apt to lie aminenliy the successful mau. He contains within himself the elements which go- to make up success. To bo all brass without.-brains, or all brains with out brass, is to bo an incomplete individual iu this nineteenth century and in I this country. Philadelphia 2'imcs, . A Cbrnflelo' Protected by Rattlesnakes. An octogenarian, of .Dresden, .had : been troubled, ' during ' cdrft-planting-l time, by . the crows stealing the corn planted. The usual resort to scarecrowi was a failure even, and nothing seemed j to keep them away. One day old Ilube , Davis, the late famous rattlesnake man of Lake George, was making a visit to J tho Dresdenite. The latter was telling old lluba of his trouble with the crows, j when the rattlesnake man asked what the Dresdenite would give him if he
would furnish protection to his corn.

A stun was named, which old Rube j almost daily, and tho muaber ia by no
accepted and took his departure, prom
ising to be oa hand the next corn-planting time. Nothing was thought of it until the next season, when old Rube put in an appearance. He took from his pocket six live'mt.tlesnakes, which he handled with as much freedom as if they had been kittens. The old fellow then asked when corn was to be planted, and, being informed that the job would be flnwhed that very day, herepaired to the cornfield. There he made six little houses or dens, covering them with flat stone'. These dens were situated iu different pnrts of the cornfield. The cawing of the crows could be heard, the birds seeming to be on the watch for the men's departure. Old Rube then placed a snake in each little den; and uttering words to the reptiles, which he always said they could understand, the men left the field. They had scarcely passed through the opening in the stump fence before the air was filled with crows, all bound on a foraging expedition. The men watched the result at a distance. Down went the crows into the cor-field, when tho work of slaughter began", ' The so ikes left the dens and, cautiously approaching the unsuspecting biidi, they were -ifoon enabled to wind their horrible lolds about tho crows, necks, when tho work of killing them was almost instantaneous. Sometimes a crow would raise a few feet from the grouud, witli the snako tightly bound about its leek, when it would soon tumble to earth, dead. The work of destruction went on, however, aad before the sun set tlu.; night the snakes tolled seventy-three crows. Wo defy anybody to tell a more remarkable snake story than this. Snake stories are very thick nowadays, but wo are sorry to say that most of them are very thin. Whitehall Timet.
