. FROM OVER THE SEA.
A GREAT COMMERCE BEARER FROM
INDIA’S CORAL STRAND.
A Bark Arrives in New York from Ports
thnce Clurlng Papers from America
Are Seldom Issued—Articles of 'Com-
merce from the Tropics. -
The marine investigator at Sandy Hook,
casting his eyes seaward the other day,
spied something which unaccustomed
eyes would not have seen. He clapped
his glasses, fine double extra power ones,
to his eyes and stood in a posture of scru-
tiny for many moments.
-‘It’s a bark,” says he, still focussing
his glasses on the distant object.
A shadowy substance began to appear
on the horizon. The eye of the landsman
would have simply noted that something
that sailed was approaching.
“She’s Nova Seotian,” was the laconic
utterance that came from beneath the
‘ binoculars.
“Then it’s the Strathay, now due," was
the equally laconic outcome of a marine
encyclopedia who stood near.
Pretty soon the bark’s sails loomed up
against the horizon and slfe came whoop-
ing along in a spanking «breeze to the
lower bay. She was the Strathay, ninety
days from India’s coral strand, and she
bore a royal cargo. W'hen Capt. Urqu-
hart got his quarantine papers he brought
‘ his vessel in tow of a tug, her streamers
flying, up to a Brooklyn pier, and a. long
sea voyage was ended.
The Strathay comes from ports whence
clearing papers from America are seldom
issued. She has been in the dismal and
frightfully hot harbors of Alipee and
Cochin, on the Malabar coast, in the
southern part of India. ‘
CEYLON’S SPICY BREEZES.
She had lain for days getting the spicy
breezes of Ceylon at Colombo, and the
blood heat rays of the sun, and there took
in -1,000 barrels of plumbago. Then in
southern India, where the man eating
crockodile abounds, and sharks turn on
their bellies and swallow men ata crunch-
ing gulp, she found 1.200 barrels of co-
coanut oil, which will be evolved into
American soap, and a great quantity of
the matting that is made from the fibrous
bark of the cocoanut. Then the Strathay
was ready to make for civilization and
New York, and she came along with some
rip-roaring breezes, a great commerce
bearer, under a foreign flag.
Only two or three vessels arrive from
Alipee and Cochin in the course of a year.
The freights of these are consigned to the
firms who virtually monopolize trade from
this quarter.
There are no harbors at these ports, and
vessels are obliged to anchor two miles
off in the open sea. Though havenless
the land is fissured with many lagoons or
backwaters. The country is low and
sandy and covered with luxuriant vegeta-
tion and vast forests of palm trees. From
the latter are obtained the chief com-
modities of commerce. The straight
stemmed trees are from fortyto eighty
feet high, and the natives climb these
with the aid of a short cord, connecting
their big toes, which helps ascension by
fitting them into grooves of the bark.
After the nuts are knocked off the thick
husks are separated from the inner shell
by sharp iron spikes, and then laid in pits
dug along the seashore, where the salt
water macerates them. When the husks
become sufficiently pliable they are taken
out and beaten with clubs, which com-
pletely parts the fiber from the pithy
portion. It is then thoroughly cleaned
nd dried, and known as khair or coir,
nd is twisted into yarn and then woven
into matting. The 'keruels, by hydraulic
pressure, yield the oil now so much used
by American soap makers, as it produces
soup capable of floating upon water.
Thousands of Hindoos, male and female,
are employed in these industries by the
white merchants. They are very docile,
exist on rice, fish and fruits, and receive
equivalent to five or six cents for their
daily wage.
SPECULATORS' MISTAKE.
Two or three years ago a great specula-
tion took place in the raw fiber, and
thousands of bales were imported and
held with the expectation that it- would
flgure largely in mattress stuffing and
kindred uses. This was not realized.
owing to the fiber’s lack of elasticity, and
speculators lost heavily. It is said that
the French are beginning to make cui-
rasses of it for their ironclads, as it offers
more resistance than steel to a cannon
ball, and a greater value may be put upon
it in the future. ,
Other articles of commerce seldom
heard of come from this far off shore.
Cus-cus, a fragrant root from which
sachet powder is made; citronella and
lemon grass oils, also used in perfumery;
the button like seeds of nux vomica, con-
taining the principle of strychuine; carda-
moms, cinchona and turmeric, a yellow
root used in dyeing, and which is said to
be used in the adulteration of mustard.
Eight white people and 30,000 natives
compose the population of Alipee. About
seventy-five different castes are repre-
sented. The climate is tropical, but
healthy. Melting eyes and well favored
forms are reported to be characteristics of
the I-Iindoo females. These are possibly
enhanced by the limited inventory of ap—
parel, a palm leaf or two covering the
whole body. The sailors are not proof
against their seductions, and rigorous
measures have to be taken for their re-
straint. The mate of tho Strut-hay, a
bronzed Scotchman, said to a reporter
sadly:
“’I‘b’ weemen played the deevil wi’ the
sailor Luis! Ah, coodna gang ashoor the
twinty days we were off th’ port, for ma

Masks for Valuable Gems.
A ‘ richly dressed, handsome young
woman attracted considerable attention
in‘ the box of a fashionable theatre one
evening this week. It was not her un-
usual beauty—for there were other ladies
present who excelled her in personal
charms—that made her conspicuous,
neither was it due to any unusual deport-
ment on her part. The whole claim upon
fame rested in the magnificent solitaire
diamond earrings she wore. As they
caught the rays of the electric light they
almost dazzled the eyes of the audience.
There evidently was no paste about them.
They were genuine stones and worth not
less than $2,000 each. When the play
had come to an end, a reporter who had
observed the lady during the performance,
saw her as she was leaving the building.
He looked for the diamonds, but they
were not visible. The setting of the stones
remained the same, but in the place of
the gems were-two chased gold bulbs.
such as any fashion loving saleslady
might have aspired to own. -
“Looking for the diamonds?” asked the
reporter’s companion, whospent his days
in a Maiden lane jewelry emporium.
“Yes. Has she changed her earrings?”
“No; she still wears them. She has
merely covered them up with those gold
masks. These contrivances are of recent
origin,” he explained, “and are becoming
very fashionable. They are cheap and
neat. They fit over 'the stones and hide
them from view. By this means a lady
can wear plain gold ornaments on the
street, and the moment she reaches the
playhouse she can blossom out in the most
gorgeous jewelry. She runs no risk of
robbery. and offers no bait to highway-
" men. It is safe and economical.”-—New
York Mail and Express.
fllltol'y of the Bean.
The common bean was cultivated by the
ancient Egyptians, but their priests re-
garded it as “unclean.” The Old Testa-
ment mentions the bean twice, and it is
-certain that the Hebrews knew of its ex-
istence at least 1,000 years B. C. The
ancient inhabitants of Switzerland and of
Italy. in the age of bronze. cultivated a
small fruited variety of this plant. It
was also known to the ancient Greeks and
to the ancient Latins, and it grew wild in
northern Africa in the days of Pliny.
The first cultivation of the bean is pre-
historic. It was probablyintroduced into
Europe. says De Candolle, by the western
Aryans (Colts. and Slnvs) at the times of
theircnriiest migrations. A century be-
fore the Chrislian era it went into China,
and Skill later into Japan, and only re-
centlyinto India. There were probably
two places where it grew wild before cul-
tivation—south of the Caspian sea and
the north of Africa. The bean would long
ago have become extinct had not man cul-
tivated it.—Good Housekeeping.
Take Time a: uno ”fable.
Americans live at too high a pressure.
No man has any business having func-
tional dyspepsia. Organic dyspepsia is
different. That is due to cancer or some
other specific disease of the stomach or
other internal organs. Rapid eating
..-ften grows out of the habit of eating
alone. Pleasant company at table and
good food are excellent preventives of
rapid eating. Eat slowly, enjoy your
food, take plenty of time between courses
and let your teeth do their share of the
work instead of putting the whole job on
the stomach. If you' don’t enjoy your
meals take vigorous enough exercise to
make you hungry. Hunger is the best
sauce. That is the way to prevent dys-
pepsia if you haven’t it, and the way to
cure it if you have—New York World
Interview.
Blood Letting In Persia.
In Persia blood letting is the same pan-
' area for Well nigh all fleshly ills today
that it was with our ancestors In the days
of bluff King Hal. In the spring every
Persian hies him to the barber surgeon to
have that professional phlebotomist rc-
lieve him of, say, half a pint of ' blood.
One sunny March morning I sat up on the
bala Khana of a village chapa house and
watched the barber bleed a goodly share
of the whole male population. With his
arms hated to the elbows, a bunch of raw
cotton in lieu of lint beneath his arm, and
his keen edged razor inserted beneath his
cap, the traveling tonsorial artist took up
his position on the bank of the irrigating
ditch that ran through the village of Las-
gird. Candidates for his services soon
began crowding about him. Each sturdy
ryot bared his right arm to the shoulder,
and got one of his neighbors to bind a
handkerchief tightly just above the elbow.
He then presented himself to the barber.
' The tonsorial artist pressed out with his
thumb and forefinger the small vein he
wished to slit, and, with the air of a man
who knows his profession and its import-
ance, deftly inserted the point of his razor.
The blood spurtedrout in a tiny stream;
the villagers squatted down on their
haunches and watched it bleed, occasion-
ally working the elbow joint to stimulate
the flow. Half a pint is considered about
the correct quantity for an adult to lose
at one bleeding; the barber then com-
pletes his services by binding on a small
wad of cotton.
Many prefer being bled in the roof of
the mouth, instead of in the arm. I ob-
served that these were old men mostly,
and judged them to be knowing custom—
ers, who had wise theories of their own as
to why the mouth bleeding was prefer-
able to the others. I have seen as many
as thirty or forty of the Persian barber’s
patients squatting in a low row on the
bank of a stream or ditch, each one let-
ting the little stream of blood from arm
or mouth spurt into the water.—Thomas
Stevens in Inter Ocean.
Wanted—An Endurable Pen.
As for pens, will mankind ever invent
an endurable pen? The quill makes a
dreadful noise, as Dora found when she
tried to keep accounts in the presence of
David Copperfield. Indeed the advent-
ures of Dora with her pens are only those
of less feather headed scribes. The quill
splutfers a small shower of ink, a murky
drizzle, over the fingers, as over the lace
ruffles that Buffon wore when he wrote.
The descending drizzle dots 100 i’s where
no i should be, nor indeed is, and per-
plexes printers. Meanwhile the steel pen
begins as badly as a lame cab horse, and
rusts readily. After an hour’s work the
wretched instrument needs to be taken
twice over every stroke, otherwise it does
not mark at all. One of Its legs becomes
shorter than the other.
Paper is the only thing that has made
an advance on birch bark, sheets of lead,
potsberds and parchment; nor can- paper
bear comparison with the vellum of the
past. A kind 0 “pad,” otherwise useful,
has become hairy, and the hairs cling to
the pen. NO fountain pen has yet proved
successful. You have to blow down
them, to thump them, to humor them in
a dozen ways, and they explode in your
pocket and flood you with ink. The
wonder is that when writing is so difficult
so much is written. Nature may wisely
desire to handicap authors. But it is the
business of science to thwart nature and
to invent and perfect ,tdut ce qu’il faut

Lotta’s Collection of Shoes.
The intellectual and imaginative Jack
St. Maur has been telling some interesting
stories about Lotta’s ’unprecedenied col-
lection of shoes.
“Why, gentlemen,” said the enthusias-
tic relator, “there are velvet shoes, satin
shoes, silken shoes, canvas shoes, grass
cloth shoes, Turkish and morocco slippers,
’ and sandals from Borneo and far off Sara-
wak, where Rajah Brooxc, whose charm-
ing wife is an old schoolmate of Lotta’s,
holds supreme sway over his heathen sub-
jects. There is one particular pair of
slippers made from the skin of a favorite
cat that quitted catterwauling and noc-
turnal adventures some two years ago. If
you ask Lotta what these slippers are
made of she will tell you with a mis-
chievous smile that they are ‘peau de
pusse.’ You can’t imagine anything
softer or more comfortable. It really must
be that the spirit of that departed tortoise
shell animates those slippers; for as truth
is my witness, I have heard Lotta make a
sort of purring sound when putting them
on. Lotta’s size? Oh, come now, what’s
the use of making, all the women in the
world envious? You probably don’t re-
member Cinderella’s size. Well, it’s my
belief that the glass slipper would fit Lotta
very well. dinyway, her feet have played
as lively a part as her face in the extra-
ordinary success shc has won.”—Detroit

Reporting Prince Bismarck’s Speeches.
A member of the official stenographic
corps of the reichstag, in writing of Bis-
marck as a speaker, says: “It is not the
speed with which he speaks that makes
the reporters’ task of taking down his
words an especially difiicult one, for there
are swifter talkers than be; but Prince
Bismarck speaks at a very unequal rate,
and as a rule it is quickest at‘ those very
places which are most to the point. Not
unfrequently, too, he interrupts himself
with intermediate sentences; and he has
a peculiar style of his own, with quite un-
expected turns of speech; in addition to
which he often interweaves quotations—-
sometimes in foreign languages—with his
remarks, and occasionally, toward the
end of a sentence, speaks so low as to
make him difficult to be understood at our
desk, although it is in the immediate vi-
cinity of where he stands. And then the
stenographcr cannot altogether get rid of
the feeling that he is working under the
pressure of the weight and importance of
what he is taking down, as well as under
the consciousness that ho is preserving
the words of the man at whom all Europe
Is looking.”—-John P. Jackson in New
York World.

The Universal Skeleton.
Hidden troubles, securely locked in the
breast of many a man who goes about his
ordinary business with a composed face,
constitute a large part of the tragedy of
everyday life. The theme is one of which
Thackeray, as his admirers do not require
to be told, never became tired; and I think
that the older one grows and the more one
sees and knows of his fellowmen, the
stronger becomes the impression of an
omnipresent skeleton in the closet. I like
the sturdy Anglo-Saxon nature which,
keeping the skeleton well within his closet,
turns the key on him and confronts the
world with a face which makes no sign.
Toward the more emotional characters, as
they are called, who yield to the desire for
expression and the craving for sympathy,
I am afraid that I feel somewhat as do
those British barbarians who regard the
French as so many “shrieking, poor
devils.”-—'I‘averner in Boston Post.

A COWARDLV GRIZZLY MOTHER.
Blue Deserts Her Cubs When Hotly Pur-
sued by Hunters.
After resting my horse a few minutes I
went on, and had not gone far when I saw
in the distance three black objects, which,
upon examination with my field glass, I
took to be buffaloes lying quietly In the
grass upon the prairie. As the wind was
blowing from me directly toward them I
was obliged to make a long detour to get
upon the opposite side, when I met one of
my Mexican hunters, who had discovered
and was going for the same animals I was
in pursuit of.
We united our forces and advanced
within rifle range, when the animals
jumped up. and to our astonishment
proved to be a large grizzly bear with
two well grown cubs. The instant they
discovered us they all started of! rapidly,
and we after them, at a speed which soon
brought us near enough to give shots, but
owing to the frantic plunging and surg-
ing of our frightened horses, to say noth-
ing of our own perturbation, neither of
our shots took effect, and I doubt if even
Buffalo Bill, with all his masterly eques-
trian adroitncss, and his skill in rifle
shooting, could, under the circumstances,
have made much better shots than ours.
As we were obliged to stop and re-
charge our long muzzle loading rifles, this
gave the bears time to get considerably
the start of us. We, however, soon closed
the gap, and gave another shot that in-
flicted a slight flesh wound upon the dam,
at which she set upavociferous growl
and plunged ahead, leaving her cubs be~
hind. Giving a hasty direction for the
Mexican to attend to the cubs, I pushed
on after the old one, which was at this
time a good deal in advance, and going at
her best speed, while the panic stricken
whelps were giving utterance to the most
plaintive cries, which were heard by the
mother, but she continued on, and my
horse put forth his utmost efforts for at
least two miles before we came up with
her. -
In the meantime the cubs continued
their incessant cries, at which the dam
would occasionally turn round, sit up and
look back, but as soon as she saw me
coming she resumed her running, and
this was repeated several times, until I
came near her, and gailoped along for
some distance by her side, but even this
close proximity did not induce her to turn
upon me, or to make the slightest demon-
stration of hostility.
Her sole purpose was to escape, and to
efleet this she deserted her offspring in
the most cowardly manner. When I had
satisfied my curiosity regarding her ag-
gressive proclivities I gave her a' shot
back of the shoulder, which caused her to
turn around and walk slowly back with
her head down, severely wounded, but
another shot in the head brought her to
the ground, and after taking off one of
her paws, as a trophy, I returned to camp,
where I found the MexiCan, who had
Iassoed the two cubs, and driven them
before his horse nearly five miles, while
they continued their piercing screams all
the -way. Indeed, they kept up their
cries during the entire night. so that the
men got but little sleep and obliged us to,
have them killed the next morning.—

HE BESTED MORRISSEY.
Jim Fisk’s Ofllee Boy's One Bound that
Led to His Success in Life.
C. N. White, chief paymaster of the
New York, Lake Erie and Western railroad
company for many years, has resigned.
He is succeeded by Peter F. Donohue,
who was Paymaster \Vhltc’s assistant.
When Fisk and Gould were in control of
the Erie, Peter Donohue was Fisk’s oflicc
boy. He was a slight~built boy, but his
eye was always on the right side of
business. _
One day Fisk gave orders to Peter, who
sat at the outside door of Prince Erie's
office in the Grand Opera House building,
that he would be engaged in some partic-
ular matters, and must‘ be out to every
applicant, no matter who it might be.
At that time John Morrissey and Fisk
were great friends, and Morrissey hap-
pened to want to see Fisk that day on some
important business. Peter knew of the
high-regard Fisk had for John Morrissey,
and the latter was in the habit, when he
called at the Erie building, of walking
into Fisk's oflice unannounced and with-
out ceremony. On this d'ay he was pass-
ing, when the three-foot-and-a-half ofllce
boy rose up and told the congressman
that he. couldn’t pass.
“How‘s that?” said Morrissey.
“Mr. Fisk is busy and can’t see any-
body,” replied Peter Donohuc.
“He’ll see me,” said Morrissey.
“No he won’t,” insisted Peter.
The persistence of the' boy rather net-
tled the ex-prize fighting statesman, and
he said, testily, and taking a step toward
the door: '
"Do you know who I am?” .
“Yes,” said Peter, coolly, “you’re John
Morrissey. ”
”Well,” said Morrissey, “I guess Mr.
Fisk will see me.” ‘
With that be swept the diminutive of-
fice boy aside and strode toward the door.
His hand was on the knob, but he did not
turn it. Peter Donohue sprang on the
broad back of the former athlete and
climbed up it like a monkey. He threw
his arm around Morrissey’s neck and
gave it a squeeze that shut the big man’s
wind off, and forced him to give all his
attention to freeing himself from the de-
termined ofllce boy’s grasp. He finally
succeeded, but when the novel struggle
was over the office boy stood again be-
tween the congressman and Fisk’s door.
“Mr. Fisk gave me orders to let nobody
in there,” exclaimed Peter, “and you
can’t go in. That’s all there is about it.”
Morrissey’s anger quickly gave way to
admiration of the boy’s pluck and faith-
fulness, and, laughing heartily over his
defeat, he went away. He told Fisk next
day about his encounter with Peter, and
how the latter had “downed him.” Noth-
ing all Fisk’s remarkable career ever
pleased him as much as he “mill.” as he
called it, between Morrissey and Donohue.
The boy was rapidly advanced by Fisk,
and one of the direct results of this affair
with Morrissey is his present place at the
head of the most import-ant branch of the
Erie railway’s financial department.—

Burman's Indifference to Death.
Three Burmans were led out to suffer
death by being shot. They were perfectly
apathetic, not seeming to care a bit, judg-
ing by the way they laughed and talked
and smoked the never absent cigar. One
of them having been tied up, the other
two squatted down and watched the sen-
tence being carried out with intense inter-
est. The volley 'was fired, and so true
had gone the bullets that the top of the
Burman’s head was riddled with five of
them. Turning away in disgust, what was
my horror and surprise to See the remain-
ing two prisoners rolling on the ground,
convulsed with laughter at the effect of
the Sepoys’ rifles. It was some time be-
fore they recovered sufllciently to be
taken up for punishment, and when they
were, one of them was smoking a cigar and
the other burst out laughing just as the
order for firing was given.
The Bur-man, it will be seen from this,
apparently indifferent to
death. In spite of this quality, he is a
coward in action and rarely fights in the
open or stands his ground when attacked.
They are not a tall race, and in many rc-
specls resemble the Chinese, having flat

Germany": APnImnTI—fiinucrs.
The emperor of Germany is the com
mnndcr-in-chicf of the army, whose motto
is “For God, King and Fatherland.” Tho
allied sovereigns, Bavaria, Saxony, etc.,
appoint their ofllcers of the contingent
which they furnish, but they have to be
approved by the emperor. The minister
of war is Gen. Von Schellendorf. He
super-intends the different commands for
Prussia and the confederated states.
Field Marshal Von Moltko is at the head
of the general staff. which is made up of
the «.flicers of the different armies tempo-
rarily detached. They form seven divis-
ions. The first three study each a theatre
of war, the fourth occupies itself with the
ailroads, the fifth devotes its time to mili-
tary history, the sixth studies geography
and statistics and the seventh geodosy
and topography. Field Marshal Von
Moltke can call to his assistance the most
distinguished civil engineers in the empire
whenever he wishes. The general staff
has a library, begun in 1816, which now
comprises nearly 60,000 volumes—Berlin

British Postofllce urns.
In one respect the employment of
females in the British postofilce is acting
in a way not quite foreseen by the depart~
meat—namely: In the promotion of mar-
riages. Especially has the “Central hall”
suffered in this respect, four of its most
valued lady clerks having lately resigned
in order to enter the state matrimonial.
But if the government is thereby incon-
venienced all the girls in the department
are pleased, for if they do not win the
prize of matrimony they profit in the way
of promotion by the retirement of their
fortunate sisters—St. Louis Republican.

The uncovered seats on the shady side, -
especially those affected by ‘the youth and

with beads in ranks like the seeds In an

the sunny side-were occupied by busy

The detestable medley of slang and

way through the crowd, diffusing a mixed
perfume of musk and garlic; and the
miserable lout whose natural destiny it
was to clean tripe and bladders, being in-
capacitated by nature for any more worthy
function in life, made a speaking trumpet
of his hand to,hurl a torrent of abuse,
flavored with a hot vapor of raw spirits,

The Misericordla of Florence.
Here, as we turn a corner, we meet one
of the queerest looking processions in the
world. It is a small company of men,
their heads perfectly covered with white
mantles, with holes for the eyes and
month. They look in the moonbeams like
a company of dead people, just resurrected
Ind walking about the streets, with
shrouds still upon them. One of them,
met alone in an American town, would
. scare any girl into hysterics.
A feeling of indignation comes over us
as we glance at this strange walking
group, but when we know .what they are,
It turns into a sentiment of fervent love.
They are the Misericordia~an association
formed to comfort and relieve misery
wherever they can hear of it. They are
recruited from all classes of citizens, from
the prince to the pauper. Whena certain
signal is struck by the bell of the big
cathedral, it means that somebody is suf-
fering and needs their help. Those on
duty that week must rush to their rendez-
vous as village people do to a fire, and
help the afflicted one. These masks con-
ceal their facesfrom bystanders and from
each other. N 0 one knows who they are
—not even the person who is receiving
their help. Six of these men are bearing
a human body with them. If the stretcher
is tightly closed they carry a corpse; this
one is open, thank heaven, and they are
trying to save a life to its friends. If any
association in Italy has the approval of
God. the Miser-icordia has—Will Carleton

Politeness of the Japab-cse.
Talking of politeness, the Japanese have
that article in their composition to a very
extraordinary extent. Men are always
excessively polite to one another. They
bend their backs and how their heads and
put their two hands back to back between
their knees and have a great time. But
the most? amusing thing is to see two old
ladies in Japan meeting one another on
the street. The street is empty, we’ll say,
and they catch sight of one another three
or four blocks apart. They immediately
begin to make obeisance at one another,
and they keep bending and bowing at
short intervals until they come together,
when they make that peculiar hiss by -
drawing in the breath and keep on saying
“Ohuyo” for about two minutes. The
young things, the “Moosmais,” are very
charming and graceful in their greeting of
one another. but the old ladies are ornate
and elaborate in their address.
And the language has been framed with
a view to the necessities of politeness and
of difference in rank. “Are," with the
accent on the e, is the verb to be. If you
are talking to a coolie, somebody very
much below you, “are” is good enough
for “is.” If you are talking to one a
little below you, or you wish to be polite
to an underllng, you use “arimas.” If
you are on formal terms with an equal,
you say “gozaritnas,” and when you ad-
dress a man high above you in rank you
make it “gozarimasuru.” It’s an elastic
language, and pulls out to almost any
length—San Francisco Chronicle “Un-
dertones."
in... concerning Cold Waves.
There are many other curious facts con-
nected with the progress of cold waves.
Many instances occur, says Lieut. Wood-
rufl, where the temperature at a given
station, at the time of the appearance of,
the cold wave in the northwest, is lower
than the minimum afterward produced
by the cold wave. It often happens that
a cold wave sets in from the extreme
northwest, and upon reaching the Missis-
sippi valley divides, a part going north-
easterly to the lower lake region and the
other part southward to the Gulf states.
In either case the intensity appears to be
greatly diminished. This action seems
generally to be due to the sudden devel-
opment of a storm‘ somewhere in the
southern part of the Missouri valley.
Sometimes a storm of slight energy re-
mains in Kansas, Missouri and the Indian
territory, and has the effect of retarding,
or even totally destroying a cold wave.
Again, whena cold wave is retarded in
this way, it seems often to gather force
and intensity, and rush rapidly forward
and spread over the entire country. An
other frequent feature is that after a cold
wave commences the temperature con-
tinues to fall in ~tho northwest, and an-
other wave is' formed entirely distinct
from the first, from which it becomes sep-
arated by a warm wave. The warm wave
is only a narrow belt, but the cold waves
are perfectly distinct.—Pioneer Press.
Fulton’s Suppressed Bock, “ Why Priests
Should Wed.”
Rev. Dr. Fulton's “Why Priests should
Wed" is destined to become themost cele-
brated book of these times. When the
old and highly esteemed publishing house
of Rand Avery Company, of Boston, de—
cided that it would not print the book, on
the ground that its contents were so ob-
scene as to be unfit for its female com—
positors and prmIf-rcnders to set the type
or read the proofs, it was generally sup-
posed that Dr. Fulton would gIve up Its
publication. But his friends came for—
ward and said that he should not be
crushed, that his work should not be
stopped, and that his book should be
printed. lie was advised to allow .Its
pages to be modified by the substitution
0 awfully suggestive plates for those facts
which were supposed to be too obscene,
and thereby gain all the slrengthof liIs
original book without the risk of Violat—
ing the laws for the suppression of 1m-
moral and obscene literature. _But aSIdc
from its much disputed obscenity, "Why
Priests Should Wed" is truly a marvellous
book. Even the “oldest printer" will be
amazed at its peculiar get up, for no such
work has ever been made before. _It has
queer, black borders with the indicative
insignia; it Ins awful, black edges; strIk-
ing illustrations; gaudy covers In cloth,
illuminated in black, white and red, wnh
terrible designs. At its price of $1.50 a
copy it is, as books are nowadays, 9. mar—
vellously cheap book. The manner of Its
publication, through Prof. A. A. Wood-
bridgc, of Boston, the manager of “Ful-
ton’s Crusade,” has been the most enter-
prising venture ever known. And, more-
over, its contents, were the book made in
the commonest form, and had It been
printed in the quietest manner possnble,
would have attracted world-WIde atten-
tion, for it is brimful of statements winch,
if true, should arouse every American to
the need of some instantaneous action,
and which, if untrue, should condemn Dr.
Fulton as one of the worst men who ever
were the robes of a clergyman. But can
Dr. Fulton be mistaken ? Can he be utter-
ing and printing falsehoods? It would
seem as though he must know of the
things about which he writes and talks so
freely. He has had a career of nearly
forty years as a clergyman and through-
out his whole lifetime he has always been
esteemed for his fearless denunciations of
wrongs and vices. He has a record which
can be equalled by but few clergymen now
Iiving,.and wherever tried he has never
been found wanting. He has gonc {club
from his family, his parish, and his friends
to do what he believes to be his specially
ordained work, and in spite of the efforts
to crush his work and to suppress Ins
book, he seems likely to maintain himself
nobly before all the world, and to secure
for his book a circulation never _beforc
heard of in the annals of book-making.

SWEET, SHY GIRL.
Oh, sweet, shy girl, with roses In her heart,
And love light In her face. like those upgrowu,
N1 of still dreams and thOughts that, dreamlike,
start ‘
From fits of solitude when not alone:
Gay dancer over the thresholds of brlght days,
’I‘ears quick to her eyes as laughing to her llps;
A game of hide and seek with time she plays,
Time hiding his eyes from hers In bright eclipse.
0h, gentle souled I—how dear and good she is,
Blessed by soft dews of happiness and love,
Cradled In tenderest arms! Her mother’s kiss
Seals all her good night prayers. Her father'-
smile
- Brightens her-mornings. Through the earth shall
move
Her child sweet soul, not far from heaven the
' while! ' —John James Piatt.

Spanish Americans in New York.
Latin America is always well repre-
sented in this city, though South America
gives us more permanent residents than
the central American republics. Both
countries send many students to the col-
leges here. Medicine, dentistry and en-
giueering are the professions oftenest
chosen by the Spanish speaking scholars.
Business between those countries and this
is growing more active every year. They
sendus fruits, hides, fine timber, india
rubber, wood for dyes and sarsaparilla,
muchisimo sarsaparilla. Great quantities
of silver and gold bullion also come from
the rich mines which are now attracting
the attention of the world. From April
until September New York is full of
Spanish-Americans, who come simply for
pleasure or tarry a while on. their way to
Europe, perhaps. These do not patronize
the Spanish hotels so much as they do the
most expensive American ones, for which
they have the most unbounded admira-
tion—New York Press “Every Day
Talk.” ~
Friction in City Life.
I do not think that modern civilization
as it is embodied in city life, is an aid to
longevity. In the country, as people learn
how to live better, it Is possible to spin
out a longer existence. Because there is
more friction in city life than in. country
life, and friction acts upon the human
machine as much as It does upon a ma-
chine of iron and steel. City life takes
more out of a man than country life.
What I call the mechanical features of
city life aflect longevity. For one thing,
we have tall‘er buildings in town than in
country, an ‘ there is more going up and
down stairs. There is less repose in the
city. Those who live longest vegetate the
most, and a vegetative existence is possi-
ble only in the country.—Physician in
Boston Herald.
A New Use of Electricity.
The science of electricity, by the way,
has already been pressed into the service
When, at a dance or dinner
party, a glittering dewdrop seems sud-
denly to sparkle among the flowers on a
lady’s shoulder, or a diamond light flare
draws attention to her pretty coiqure, the
admiring observer may take it for granted
that the possessor of the dewdrops and
the starry light in her hair is secretly
pressing a tiny battery, ingeniously con-
cealed about her person, and by means of
which the electric spark flies up, to the
danger perhaps of the beholder, if not of
the possessor.—,Pall Mall Gazette.
The Flat Headed Indians.
The custom of flattening the beads by
pressure was about universal among the
Puget Sound Indians. It was done in in-
fancy with a hat made of cedar bark,
beaten, pressed steadily on the forehead.
It has been so often described by numer-
ous writers that no further description is
here necessary. School teachers here have
been unable to see any difierence between
the intellect of those whose heads have
thus been flattened and those which are
natural. Some of the Indians, however,
believe that it has caused numerous head-
aches among them in after life. Very few
infants are thus treated now.—A1_nerican
Antiquarian.
Paraguay's Popular Beverage.
It is stated that another attempt is be-
ing made in Europe to popularize the
beverage known as “yerba matey,” so
popular in Paraguay and Brazil. It is
said to make a non-intoxicating, aromatic
drink, and both as touching its chemical
qualities and physiologic effects is not un-
like tea and coffee. That is to say, “yerba
matey” arrests waste; it does not form
flesh. It enables people to go along time
without food, and the inhabitants of Bra-
zil and the valley of the River Platte drink
enormous quantities of the beverage for
this very pnrpose.—New York Tribune.
Tobacco In Cuba’s Capital.
Every one speaks Spanish here and
every one smokes cigars. Young men and
maidens, old men and children, are seem-
ingly never seen without along roll of to-
bacco in their mouths. They are an easy,
indolent race, as a rule, and between the
Cubans and Spaniards an armed truce
always exists. The latter do . not like
Americans, as a rule, and are not partial
to their vigiting here. The former, on the
other hand, think highly of Americans,
welcome them with open arms, and get
just as much money out of them as pos-
Sible.—qunna Cor. New York \Vorld.
