Miiriiiug's Mail tilings Orders I-’or Cabinets From Five States, North, South, East and West.

The Greencastle Cabinet Company is doing a rushing business. This fact may easily in* decerned by any one wlio will take the time to visit the factory and note the busy workers and the piles of materials in all stages of manufacture as well as the dray loads of cabinets leaving the factory. If the visitors could look over the shoulder of the management and see the source of the main orders that come each day the fad would be still more patent One morning's mail brought orders from Georgia, from New Jersey, Ohio and Missouri. Nebraska and Indiana. And this wide spread popularity is well deserved. Not only lias (lie company kept abreast of the limes, but is now leading tin* procession of kitchen cabinet manufacturers. The now cabinets now being maufuetured are a delight to the beholder. White enamel, crystal glass and sliding doors take the place on these new models of the varnished finish, tin cans and swinging doors of the older' models. I fact these, time and labor savers are also health j>reeer ves, as thoy are now eo made as to be more sanitary than any other place for the keeping of flour, sugar, spices, bread and cake and other articles. New methods of reaching the flour bins, new glass covered doors which reveal the condition and quantity of flour in the bin, new racks for the spice jars are other improvements that combined with the best of workmanship and material to place the Greencastle Cabinet at the. top of the list. New catalouges are being printed and the expectation is that the new cabinets will find a still wider and more satisfied clientage.

ing winds and respite from great summer warmth. The mercury period being central on the 21st promises a prolonged spell of cloudy days with probable tendency to drizzling rain. From the 23rd to the 25th the barometer will fall again, the temperature will rise and there conditions wll increase into the summer storms. Tlie outlook for diffused rains is not without hope at this and the preceding period, although we do not expect a sufficiency of general rains during this month. The period from tin* 15th to the 28th brings probability of equatorial storms from the south, gives good hope that August will not lie a month of unmitigated head and drouth At the same time, a scyle of such phenomena is due, when wo may expect ''all signs to fail” in a season of dry, hot weather. I lie last six days of August prevailing storms may not arrive . as far north as our southern coasts, but such a thing is possible and no section of the south coasts exposed to such visitations should lightly regard indications. This period will reach its crisis 1 about Sunday the 29th, to Wednesday, September I. if very low barometer and wide storms anas break Inland from the n'tR and south Atlantic regions heavy rains will deluge south and lateral storms will visit many interior localities.

Storm-producing areas will lie at a minimum the period, 11th to 12th, with indications of sustained high temperature, and only moderate changes in barometric pressure. If the storms arise at this time they will prove largely rainless and blustering with little if nny reaction to cooler. Marked storm conditions may also appear about tlie 15th. but the cul niiuation of the period will come on the 18th, 19th and 2ftth. A very low barometer at this period will indicate danger and any ominous storm clouds that may arise with high temperature, humid air and low barometer, will be a warning that should not go unheeded.
