    (continued from previous page)
    The people's corns are getting troublesome, and people who are subject to rheumatic pains can always tell whether it is going to be wet or fine.
    If the morning is dull, we expect rain, but we still hope for a fine day. Noon decides whether it will clear off or not. It was formerly believed, that the rain comes from the eyes of many angels, weeping for our sins.
