MOON PROVERBS.

When the moon is visible in the daytime, the days are relatively cool. It is said that when the moon is near the full it never storms, and the sailors say the full moon eats clouds. If the full moon rises clear, expect fine weather. A large ring around the moon and low clouds indicate rain in twentyfour hours; a small ring and high clouds, rain in several days. The larger the halo about the moon the nearer the rain clouds, and the sooner the rain may be expected. When the moon is darkest near the horizon, expect rain. If the full moon rises pale, expect rain. A red moon indicates wind. If the moon is seen between the scud and broken clouds during a gale, it is expected to send away the bad weather. In the old of the moon a cloudy morning bodes a fair afternoon. If there be a general mist before sunrise near the full of the moon, the weather will be fine for some days.
