Mild Winters.

The mildness of the present season,
though unusual, bears no comparison to
that of some winters "long gone by. "
In 1172 the temperature was so high
that leaves came out on the trees in JAM
uary, and birds katched their broods in
February. In 1889 the winter was
equally mild, and the maidens of Co.
logne wore wreaths of violets and corn
flowers at Christmas and on Twelfth Day.
In AL the trees lowered in the month
of March, and the vines IN the month of
April; cherries ripened in the same
month, and grapes appeared In May.
In 1872 the trees were covered with
leaves in January, and the birds Matched
their young In February, as In 1172; In
1885 the same thing was repeated, and
it is added that the corn was in the ear
ct Easter. There was in France neither
snow nor frost throughout the winters
of 1888, 1907, 1909, 1911 and 1863; final

many, the stoves were not lighted, and
trees lowered in February. Coming to
later dates, the winter of 1851, when

great inundation of the Seine, may be
mentioned as exceptionally mild.-Pasl

Wife.Catching.

The marriage ceremony is performed
curiously by the Esquimaux. When a
boy kills polar bear, it is considered
sufficient proof of his ability to main
tain family he is therefore told to go
and catch wife. Watching his oppor-
tunity at night, he pounces on a victim
and attempts TO carry her of. She,
however, struggles and shrieks until she
has collected around her a group of
sympathizers. She then turns upon
her captor, and bites and scratches
until he is compelled to release her
then she darts into the crowd and at
tempts to escape. The expectant bride
groom follows her, but not unmolested.
All the old women take scourges of
dried seal-skin land fagellate him un-
mercifully as he passes, making at the
same time every effort to arrest him Id
his course. If, despite these little i'm
pediments to matrimonial bliss, he
should catch his victim, the biting and
scratching scene is renewed, and, in all
probability, he is compelled to release
her, and the chase, with its attendant
discomforts, is resumed. Should he
overcome all obstacles, the third car-
ture proves effectual, and the victim,
ceasing her struggles, is led away amid
the acclamations and rejoicings of the
assembled multitude.

Psychologists who attribute the remark

SOLOMON RAY.

A hard, close man was Solomon Ray:
Nothing of value he gave away;
He boarded and saved,
And he pinched and shaved,
And the more he got the more he craved.
The hard-earned dollars he toiled to gain
Brought him little but care and pain
For little he spent,
And all that he lent
He made it bring him twenty per cent.
This was the life of Solomon Ray,
The years went by and his hair grew gray;
His cheeks grew thin,
And his heart within
Grew as hard as the dollars he worked to win.
But he died one day, as all men must,
For life is ieeting. and man but dust;
And the heirs were gay
That laid him away;
And that was the end of Solomon Ray.
They quarrelled now, who but little cared
For Solomon Ray while his life was spared;
His lands were sold,
And his hard-earned gold
AL went to the lawyers. am told.
Yet men~xin pinch, and cheat, and save,
Nor carry their treasures beyond the grave.
All their. gold, some day,
Will melt away,
Like the selfish savings of Solomon Ray.

Raising Peanuts.

Familiar as we all are with the taste
and quality of peanuts, but few of us
are aware Of where they are raised. The
little State of Delaware has the honor of
growing about all that are grown in the
United States. The ground pea (pea-
mutt grows beneath the surface of the
ground, as its name imports. The plant
has the appearance of the common
dwarf garden pea, though more bushy.
1t is cultivated in hills. The pea grows
on tendrils which put out from the plant
and take root in the earth. The fruit
is picked from the roots by the hand,
and the vines are favorite for horses,
mules, and cattle. From 80 to sc
bushels are produced on an acre. There
are some planters who raise from 1000
to 15, 600 bushels year.

Curious Effects of Lightning.

At the last sitting of the French
Academy of Sciences letter was read
from M. E. Parent, giving an account
of the effects of a stroke of lightning
which fell on the Goth ult at at Troyes
(Aube), in a central quarter of the town,
with a noise equal to the report of sew
eral pieces of artillery. The phenome-
non seems to have been confined to the
Rue de La Monnaie, where, at No. 81, a
young girl who was standing on the
threshold of her dwelling, saw fiery
globe, of the size of an orange, fall at
her feet, then roll along the street, and
disappear. She experienced a violent
shock, causing tremor that did not
cease until the following day. The pins
In her hair were torn away, as well as
all the other metal articles she had about
her per person. Her father, who was
leaning against the iron bars of win
dow of the next house, was paralyzed
for few seconds, and did not recover
from the commotion for several days.
At No. "a, same street, in the Sc Election
House, as it is called, the electric fluid
fell on a turret behind the house,
pierced hole through the weathercock,
slid down the roof along the zinc which
covered it, got inside by loosening the
beams that supported the woodwork,
broke through partition, then through
the floor into the lower story, made Its
way through wall into garnet, got
through the window, ran along the
spouts and pipes down to the first story;
thence passed to the next house, broke
into warehouse where there were some
iron stoves, with the usual east-iron
ornaments, such as wreths, flowers, etc,
all Of which it faithfully designed on the
ceiling with the precision of photog-
raphy; then melted the wire of a bell,
the trace of which it left on the wall,
and at length took fancy to some gilt
wooden rods intended for sale, and
wrapped up in paper. These it en-
riched with fantastic but elegant de-
signs, and, after q few more vagaries,
took its leave.

SENATOR HARVEY.

Hon. James N. Harvey, who was
elected U. s. Senator at Topeka,
last Monday, to fill out the three
years unexpired term of Alexan-
der Caldwell, IL well and favorably
known throughout Kansas. He is
n native Of T1rginia, but was reared
In AdAHls county, Illinois. He
came to Kansas in 1858, and settled
on >. farm in Riley county, where he
Unnamed until the war. He enter
ed the service of the country az q
private and quilted it with the rank
of captain, and with a good reputa-
ton rs q soldier and as a man.
Soon after the close OF the war he
was elected Representative from
Riley county. In This capacity lie
served two terms, when he was
elected State Senator. After serv-
ing in this Office he was nominated
by tho Republicans as Governor
In 1888. IN this Office he served
four years scceptably to a large
majority OF the people.
He is popular with the people
having as clean an official record al
any man who ever served them &C
long. He is q safe and reliable
man. While he does not claim t.
be one of our brilliant citizens, hG
has committed as few errors, per
haps, as any man in the West, whC
has been so long in official life. HI
is man of exemplary life, unss
Stunning in his manners, plain in hi
dress, and firm in the right.
While his election can hardly b,
claimed as triumph for any party
yet Governor Harvey is a straight
Republican. We believe he is
member of the Patrons of Hus
bandry, and is in favor of every le
climate reform for the relief of tn,
people of the west. He will un
dOubtedly be found in the ranks o
the Administration Republican,
after he takes his seat.
