"A lady of an eastern city was riding
in street car the other day, the only other
occupant being tall, lank gentleman, with
cadaverous oountenance. The lady was
dressed in deep mourning, and her fair
interesting face looked out from shadowy
veil. After riding q block or two, the
gentleman edged up to her quietly, and
said, "Lady." She did not understand
him at first, and did not look around, sup
posing that he was talking to himself.
LADY" said the firm, deep voice. She
turned around and met the full gaze of the
cavernous eyes. LADY" said the speaker,
coming an inch nearer, his eyes looking
sympathetically at her black attire, "lady,
wouldn't you like something in the tomb
stone line?" The car strap was pulled, q
veil let down and the lady vacated the car,
with a lurking smile on her face.

During the siege of Paris Captain
LegrGnd, brave soldier, loved by his
troops and respected by his commander,
undertook to enter Paris with dispatches
The desperate attempt was made by SWIM
ming tho Seine. The dispatches were
never delivered, neither was anything
heard thereafter Of Captain Legrand. Re-
Gently his skeleton, clad in his swimming
dress, was dredged up from the river, and
his dispatches, protected from the water,
were found still legible. Every military
honor was given the remains when they
were buried, and a costly monument will
be erected over them.

The marriage season has onened nm

The marriage season has opened, and
young couples from the country come every
day to Chicago to spend the honeymoon.
They can be detected very easily. The
bride wears white veil regardless of the
weather, the groom never takes off his
gloves, and both look sheepish. They call
each other ''dear," darling" "ducky,"
"love," and are always on the verge of
embracing each other. They deserve cred
it for their courage. With the example of
Adam and Mrs. Adam, Endorsed by the
experience of six thousand years staring
them in the face, they face the music, each
other, and the future. It's n good thing
for the future that they do.

are many which have not been entered for
years. These galleries undermine q whole

Important Discovery by the Signal Ohice-An
Atmospheric Wnve from the Pacific Traced
= eastward Approach of Winter to be Indi
Gated in Advance.
The researches of the Signal Office have
just been rewarded by beautiful and high
ly important meteorological discovery. On
the coast of England, from time immemo-
rial, the phenomenon of the great Novem-
Der atmospheric wave has been the specu-
lation of scientists and seamen, but Sir
John Herschel and others have supposed
it was peculiar, and confined to England
and Western Europe, which it reaches
from the South Atlantic, and over which it
rolls in long-continued undulations from
October to January, constituting an inn
portant element in the phenomenal charac-
ter of European winters.
On the 18th of November, similar at
mospheric wave began to break over the
shores of Oregon and British Columbia, as
shown by the weather kilograms. By the
evening of the 18th it had spread over
nearly all the Pacific States and Territories,
Utah and Nevada, and at midnight was
pouring through the passes Of the Rocky
Mountains. On Thursday, the 14th, It
descended upon Colorado, Nebraska, Kan
sas, and the Indian Territory. On Friday
morning it extended in unbroken magni-
tude and magnifcence from Oregon and
Washington Territory eastward through
the great trough or depression of the Rocky
Mountain backbo in Idaho and Montana,
and stretched thence to the Lower Mis-
souri, and Lower Mississippi valleys and
over the western shores Of the Mexican
Gulf.
This discovery will enable meteorologists
to anticipate by many days the approach of
winter, as it advances from the Pacific
coast eastward in the great current of west
erly winds. 1t serves to clear up the old
mystery of American winter storms, show
ing that they originate in the Rocky noun
tains, upon whose cold and loftiest submits
in Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Southern
Wyoming, the vapor-laden air of this wave,
coming from over the warm Pacific, is now
seen to be condensed in the overwhelming
SHOWS of the forty-first parallel. AS this
vast aerial wave is, probably, like the Eng
lish wave, continued in successive undula.
tons for two or three months, it may assist
in explaining the comparatively high tenn.

along Puget's Sound and eastward.
