Extraordinary Phenomenon Mt MILAN.


A correspondent writes that on the 4th Of
last month, Milan vas visited by peculiar phe-
cs. The rain was falling in torrents from heavy
black clouds, whon euddenly tho heavens. ap-
pcarcd to open. and The sunlight poured throu yh
in lood Of color, Illuminating the uudor edgos
Of clouds with tints as strange as brilliant. Tho
whole atmosphere was tinged with tho yollow
glow for the space of q minute, when it changed
into greon and blue, then tho rent in the clouds
disappeared and tho sombre aky Of tie early
morning WAS as impenotrsblo aa ever. Tho
heavy rainfall during tho phenomenon added to
tho singularity Of the appearance. Tho astrono-
mer schiappnrolli, wo arc told, attributes tho
different phenomenon Of wind and weathor to
tho contact Of tho atmospheric equatorial cur
ront with tho polar current, from whoRe point of
contact Of the extremes OF heat and cold, an un-
t1sual amount Of electricity and condensation of
watery vapor ia Developed. Tho peasants, who
soil vegetables on the Piazza del Verziero
convinced that tho ond OF tho world had como
ran screaming up and down, tearing their hair i;

unusual resistance was experienced;
as if it were foul of rocks, but after
persevering for some time the body
of an immense whale, entangled in
the cable, was brought to the.sur-
face, when it was found to be firmly
secured by two and a half turns of
the cable Immediately above the
tail. Sharks and other fish had
partly eaten the body, which was
rapidly decomposing, the jaws fall
ing away on reaching the surface.
The tail, which measured full twelve
feet across, was perfect, and cover
ed with barnacles at the extremit-
les, Apparently, the whale was at
the time of ENHANCEMENT using the
cable to free itself from parasites,
such as barnacles, which annoy
these monsters in that sea very
much and the cable hanging in
loop over a submarine precipice, he
probably with a flip of his tail
twisted it around him, and thus
came to an untimely end.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1873-09-23
Hope.

The hope of pardon is not the
Christians hope: the hope of glory
is. The hope of Israel in Egypt
was that they might be delivered
from bondage and the jurisdiction
of PhGroah; but this was no longer
their hope when they had been bap-
tised into Moses in the cloud and IN
the sea. The hope of the promised
land was henceforth the hope of Is
rael, and continued to be through
all their wanderings until they pass
ed the river Jordan; and hope gave
way to possession.
Forgiveness is the hope of every
sinner who turns his heart to the
Lord but when he is baptised into
Jesus Christ and thus translated
from the power of darkness into the
kingdom of Gods dear Son; his
hope is changed at once. The as
Surdnce of pardon takes the place
of hope; and a new hope is begot-
ten in the soul. The hope of eter-
nal life and glory, based upon the
promises of the Lord to those who
shall endure to the end.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1873-09-23

while you filled your mouth anC
your basket with the dew-coloreo
berries.
And now a word about pears.
They are usually eaten as they are
gathered from the trees, fully rip
ened, but soft and mealy as hand
ful of fine sawdust, and just about
of the same richness of flavor.
Take my advice and gather them
five or six, or in later ripening
pears, even ten days before they
are to be eaten, and place them
carefully between layers of dry
flannel in a warm room, taking care
that they do not touch each other.
Let them remain until they have
become brightly colored, and just
mellow enough to be toothsome
then take one by the stem, pear and
eat, and you will know how delici-
Gus a pear is. Peaches, like figs
and oranges, can only be fully ap-
preciated when eaten ripe from the
tree.-Grapes are always delicious
always healthful, if fully ripened,
but when eaten as the first course
at the breakfast table they are more
truly relished than at any other
their fresh, cooling juices are then
grateful to mouth and throat. Mel
ons are most inviting at the morn
ing meal. Nutmegmelons cut into
deep points and served either with
salt and pepper or with sugar are
always an attractive dish.
Every one knows that well-rip-
ened apples are nutritious, health
full and delicious, but let me say q
word to those who may desire to
bake or roast them-a word that to
many is not requisite, but to many
more may be important. 1t is new
er to roast or bake an apple with
out first taking out the core with
an apple corer and filling up the
space with butter and sugar stirred
together-one-third of the butter
to two-thirds of sugar; the former
must be good and sweet.

Beautiful Sentiment.

The late Judge Sir Allen Par
ker, once said at public meeting
in London: "We live in the midst
of blessings still we are utterly in.
sensible of their greatness, and Of
the source from whence they flow.
We speak of our civilization, our
arts, our freedom, our laws, and
forget how large a share is due to
Christianity. Blot Christianity
out of the pages of mans history,
and what would his law have BEEN
what is civilization Christianity
is mixed up with otir very being
and our daily life; there is not
single familiar object around us
which does not wear a different as
pect because the light of Christian
love is on it-not a custom which
cannot be traced in all its holy,
healthful part to the Gospel"

The Small Boy Of the Period,

Where the road between Merced
and Smelling crosses the Merced
river that stream is about two hun
dred yards in width, and even at
this season of the year, when the
water is quite low, it looks like
dangerous and deep stream to cross.
Last Thursday, a patent medicine
agent, travelling on horseback
through that section, came to the
river and hesitated about attempt
ing to ford it as he saw the wide
expanse of rushing waters. There
is no bridge anywhere along there
so after some indescision he con.
cluded to swim his horse across
Spying n boy, fishing in small
punt tied to the bank, he said:
"Hello, bub y
"Hello, yourself"
"Can l get you to take my clothes
across the river in your boat p
81 rebin you kin, if you've got
any soap"
"All right, I'll give you quarter
to take over my clothes and this
carpet sack to the opposite shore"
To this the boy nodded assent,
the stranger disrobed, turned over
the carpet-sack and habilaments to
the Juvenile, who padded out into
the stream, and mounted his horse,
prepared to swim the river and en-
Joy the luxury of a bath. With a
splash at every movement, the horse
stepped into the stream and walked
across-the water was nowhere
more than eighteen inches deep!
To say that that medicine man,
perched on the back of his horse,
was a man of iniquity for the space
of half an hour would hardly do
Justice to the occasion. There were
enough "dams" along the Merced
that afternoon to supply q hundred
mill-sites.

If a man is wounded so that
blood flows, that flow is either reg
ular or by jets or spurts. If it
flows regularly, a vein has been
wounded and a string should be
bound tightly around below the
wounded part, that is beyond it
from the heart. If the blood comes
out by leaps or jets, an artery has
been severed, and the person may
bleed to death in few minutes to
prevent which, apply the cord above
the wound, that is between the
wound and the heart. In case a
string or cord is not at hand, tie the
two opposite corners of a handker-
chief around the limb-put a stick
between and turn it around until
the handkerchief is twisted suffici-
emily tight to stop the bleeding, and
keep it so until physician can be
had.
