Some Signs of Rain.

When flies sting sharply, arid ants may bo seen making haste with their tiny burdens; when the donkeys bray unusually, and the cows cluster in corners of the fields before milking time; when the pigs pick up straws and carry ; them about with lively interest, as, if • they had some business with them, or wished to learn If straws really do show the way the wind blows; when the dog is heavy with sleep, and the tat seems possessed to wash hdr face; when all or any of these signs are seen they are not In vain, for it is sure not to b« a dry time and rain Is on the way.
