SUN sTRDcE.

Now that cold weather is upon us, it
is absolutely inspiring to find an anec-
dote illustrative of the power of the
sun. A Western gentleman has on his
premises several fine large cherry trees.
On very warm afternoon. he was
standing for a moment near them, he
heard strange noise, and looking up,
witnessed a remarkable sight. The
bark covering the tree began to peel off
at the top, curling downward along the
trunk and limbs until it reached the
ground, leaving the tree as naked and
barren as though it had been riven by
the lightning's bolt. Bark, leaves and
cherries were al stripped of. and lay .
promiscuous mass of ruins upon the
parched earth surrounding the desolate
trunk. The process occupied but three
or four seconds but the ruin was COM
plete. The trunk, limbs, leaves and
fruit had literally died Of sun-stroke.

SING ULAR DELUsION.

Frank A. Smith, of Boston, has q
strange delusion. He imagines that he
once killed o man, aud is wearing his
life out in an effort to satisfy himself
that the man still lives. Smith was
staying at some backwoods tavern in
Kansas, and had a difficulty in the bar
room with a border Desperate named
Charles Garner, who was also boarding
at the tavern. Garner struck Smith,
and Smith drew pistol. Garner ran
to the door and out, Smith following,
and firing when the two were outside.
Garner suddenly disappeared, and never
returned to the tavern. Smith stayed
there some time, awaiting tidings of
Garner, but none came, and he then
nursed himself into the delusion that
he had "shot him entirely out of exist
ence." Smith returned to Boston fully
convinced that he was murderer. He
visits all the hotels and examines all the
registers several times day to find the
name Of Charles Garner; he goes to all
the public meetings and theaters in
town and inquiries for Charles Garner
he asks his friends whenever he meets
them if they have seen or heard any
thing of Charles Garner. IF Charles
Garner is alive, Gnd will go to Boston,
Frank A. Smith viii be glad to meet
him. It is the only accident that could
happen to cure Smiths monomania.

ouR ROYAL YIsLrOR.

Kalakaua, the Hawaiian King, now
on visit to the United States, is man
ebout 35 years old, of medium height,
portly form and dignifed manners. His
complexion is dark, resembling rather
the olive of the Mexican than the ebony
of the African, hair slightly ''kinky, !"
eyes black aud full of pleasant express
sion, nose short and rather thick, mouth
shaded by mustache, round face,
adorned with side whiskers. He speaks
English fuently, dresses like an Ameri-
can gentleman, and is aa1 .fait in all
matters pertaining to the etiquette of
society and his station. He rules over
twelve little islands that lie just inside
the Torrid Zone, 1000 miles southwest
of San Francisco. His subjects num-
Der $4,000 natives and 5000 to 5000
foreigners-American, English, Ger
man and Chinese. His capital is Homo
ulu, beautiful city of about Is, 900 in
habitants, situated on the seacoast, en-
powered in palm, algeroba, tamarind,
and all the luxuriant foliage of the
tropics. Though it is small nation
and rapidly decreasing, the machinery
of the government is the same as that
of large nation. The King has his
Cabinet, Ministers of Finance, of
Foreign Affairs, of the Interior, At
torney General, etc. Each inhabited
island has Governor. The Parliament
consists of two bodies-House. of Com
mons or Representatives, elected by the
people, and House of Nobles-mem-
bers of the royal family, and others who
have received patents of nobility from
the King. -
There was small standing army, but
the soldiers were not pleased with their
poi, or their officers, or their new,
clothes, 50 they mutinied, and the King
disbanded them. Native policemen
loaf around the streets OF Honolulu,
gorgeous in red and blue uniform, white
caps and white shoes. If there is any
riot or disturbance, they join in and
have good time.

FED By MACHINERY.

ssWhile in France" says writer, I
Witnessed the operation of a mechanical
arrangement for feeding fowls. A large
revolving drum cylinder is divided into
a hundred compartments, more or less,
as is desired, and IN each one is placed
a fowl. The proper food for fattening
in the shortest possible time having
been determined, il is prepared in a
semisliquid form, and injected into the
stomach by means of sort of force
pump. The operator, who sits before
the drum which contains chickens, tur-
keys, ducks, geese, or whatever "bird"
is to be fattened, takes one by the neck
in such a way that its mouth is forced
open, inserts metallic tube, and by
the pressure of his foot injects the food,
an indicator telling him when just the.
required quantity is given. The bird
settles back in the box, apparently sat
isfed, and the operator passes to
another. The. operation is quickly
done, at least $50 being fed in an hour.
Fowls, fattened by this process are
recommended for the fneness, deli
cateness aud exquisite taste of the
aesh.'"

The distinguished English orator,
Chafles Bradlaugh, 1ectured at the
Grand Opera House, Chicago, recently,
llin subject being :. Republicanisms in.
England" Reviewing in detail the.
development of republican sentiment
in England, 1.-THE speaker said thatsa'
republic in that country was not near
had he the power by raising his hand to
establish it to-day, he would not do SO.
There was yet too much ignorance and
poverty for republic was impossible
while people were ignorant and UNDER
fed.
Mr.. Bradlaugh also showed by figures
how the present form of government
existed, and their financial state of
affairs. The increase of taxation in 160
years was from less than &c, 600, 900 to
e76, 900, 600; during the present reign,
from 949, ,OOO.O00 it had increased to
e76, 900, 900. Seventy years ago the
landed proprietors of England and
Wales received e22, 800, 900 year to-
day, for the same property, they receive
more than e100, 0OO, 600 sterling. On
the e22, 600. 900 year they paid then
$4,000, 600 and upwards of land-tax, and
on the H10o, 600, 900 they paid less than
81, 900, 900 of land tax. Two hundred
years ago, land in England paid two
| ffths of all the taxes, and to-day it
pays less than one seventy y-sixth part
of it. The national debt had increased
-
This, he said, was mortgage on the
work of the people yet unborn, and
none of it for liberty, honor or glory.
The real question in England, how
ever, was the landed proprietors. Less
than 200 families owned one-half OF En-
gland, half of Ireland, and three-fourths
of Scotland. The Duke of Sutherland
alone owned great part of Scotland,
and the Duke of Buccleugh owned half
a million acres of land in Scotland, and
other mobiles had life interest in H.
600, 600 acres of land in England capa-
BILE of cultivation, which was devoted to
deer-parks fer hese landed aristocrats
If they asked him what had all that to
do with the republican movement, he
would say that land was the territorial
aristocracy. -It owned the House of
Lords it stopped every measure of re-
demption; it had locked up the school
doors by its opposition to education.
It prevented the masses of the people
from becoming instructed by the taxes
it kept upon knowledge. This was the
power which sheltered itself by the
throne.

A sAD-IRON CATASTROPHE.


The other night, says the Burlington.
HaWkeye, a man who lives out ON
Columbia street was kept down town by
business until very late hour, and his
wife, knowing how cold he would be
when he got home, put an iron on the,
stove, and, when she heard him open
the gate, she jumped up and hurriedly
wrapping the iron in piece of flannel,
put it in bed for him to warm his great
ugly feet by. The man was cold and
taciturn and cross. He crayfed into
bed with growl, and -sshuddered with
cold as he stretched himself out. Then
he gave a yell and jammed mis- head
against the headboarda and Screamed
fire, and walzted out on the floor and
around the room in the dark, straddling
rocking chairs, breaking his shins on
bureau corners, and knocking down,
brackets with his shoulders, and upset
ting one or two things and filing the
darkness with weird, fantastic profanity.
When his wife lighted the lamp, they
discovered beautiful photograph of
sad-iron on the bottom of that mans
foot, and it was found that the flannel
had somehow got off the foot.warmer.
The man says that hereafter, if he must
sleep with hardware store, he wants
it put in cold.

usES or HA1e

Gentlemen who pride themselves on
their luxuriant boards will take comfort
in knowing that the mustache is natu--
raj respirator, defending the lungs
against the inhalation Of cold and dust.
It is protection of the face and throat
against cold, and is equally in warm
climates safeguard for those parts
against excessive heat. The mustaches
of blacksmiths show by their color the
dust which they stop as natural res
pirator, and, which, if inhaled, would
be injurious. The mustache is bene.-
fetal to those who follow the trades of
millers, bakers, masons, to workers in
metal, etc. Full boards are said to be
defense against bronchitis and sore
throat. It is asserted that the sappers
and miners of the French army who are
noted for the size and beauty of their
boards. enjoy a special immunity from
affections of this nature. The growth
of hair has been recommended to per-
sons liable to take cold easily.

THE SPANISH cHRIsrHAs.

The associations of Christmas in
Spain," writes John Hay in st.
Nicholas for January, are all of the
gospel. There is no Northern st. Nick
there to stuff the stockings of good
children with rewards of merit. Why,
then, on Christmas Eve do you see the
little shoes exposed by the windows and
doors ? The wise Kings of the East are
supposed to be journeying by night to
Bethlehem, bearing gifts and homage
to the Heavenly Child, and out of their
abundance, when they pass by the
houses where good children sleep, they
win drop into their shoes some of the
treasures they are bearing to the Baby
Prince in Judea. This thought is never
absent from the rejoicings of Christmas
tide in Spain. Every hour of the time
is sacred to Him who came to bring
peace and goodwill to the world. The
fayorite toy of the season is called The
Nativity It is sometimes very elabo-
rate and costly, representing land
scape under starry night; the shep-
herds watching their Aocks the magi
coming with wonder and awe, and the
Child IN the stable, shedding upon the
darkness that living light which was to
overspreaE the world.''

CHECKING INDIAN FRA uDs

A rather novel yet highly Ingenious
device for fixing the responsibility of
their conduct upon the Indians them
selves more closely has been adopted by
Gen. Crook, commanding the Depart
ment of Arizona. His plan is to check
the wards of the nation ike pieces of
baggage, each warrior carrying with
him constantly metal check with his
number and tribe stamped thereon.
The officer in charge keeps record of
each, with the number of members of
his family an6 description of him. In
this way the Indian is not only protect
ed against the unscrupulous greed of.
the agents, but offenses can be traced
home to their authors more readily :;
and as the issue of supplies is made in
accordance with these checks there is,
less chance of imposture on one side
and fraud on the other. It would be.
well if all officials engaged in the Indian.

plain and at the same time go commend
able in its purposes and sagacious in it's

what can be accomplished even with the
Apache Indians, this worst of all North
American tribes. They are becoming

SENSATION OF HEAT IN THE LuNes.

SENSATION OF HEAT IN THE LUNGS
The feeling of heat in the lungs on a
cold. frosty day-a sensation not expert
enced in warmer weather, and which is
the very reverse of what might be ex-
pected from the greater coldness of the
inspired air-is, probably familiar to
all DR.. Brown-Sequard suggests that the
explanation may be that the lower the
temperature of the inhaled oxygen, the
greater will be the amount absorbed, ac-
cording to well-known law of physics,
and hence, possibly, there being a
larger absorption of'oxygen, there may
be increased oxidation, and increased
heat accordingly. The tension of the
vessels afEsctedsby cold air may have
some connection with the sensation in
the lungs.

CHRIsTMAs.

A magazine-writer contrasting the
holiday seasons nowadays with those of
our hoyhood experience thus sighs /:
9. Christmas comes much oftener nowa-
days than during the first half of the
century. In those times it happened, I
am positive, once in an agey and it's ap-
proach was marked by stages well-nigh
endless. The first milestone was
Thanksgiving the next (perhaps the
earlier) a big snow-storm anon the
toy-shops bloomed gayly out with
holiday goods; and presently, on the
keen evening air, hoated the sweet pre-
nonitory chime of Christ Church bells,
that we lay awake to hear, counting the
long nights yet to pass before the
stockings should hang from the bed
posts. Do bells make music there
now, and do drowsy lads listen2 There
are none Ginning here, anyway, and If
there were, our busy brains might not
note them nor can men IN mature life
be reasonably expected to flatten their
noses against toy shop windows. In
short, Christmas nowadays almost
takes us by surprise. Vi

1 A1LWA UKEE EXPERIMENT.

The last one reported as having his
hopes blasted and the green-eyed demon
of jealousy aroused in his bosom is
Milwaukee man. He is a husband, snd
his pride and glory was that his wife
was all fondly his own and very affec~
tionate. He felt a serene confidence
that he could, if he SO wished, play
Ulysses for twenty years, and that, in
such an event, his wife would discount
Penelope in confluence and constancy.
She was in the habit of informing him
daily and nightly that he was her own
delicious hubby, SO he was, and that
she would not exchange him for all the
other men she knew, and that she did
despise women who hirted. It is a gen.
orally understood fact that Milwaukee
men are extremely susceptible to female
influence, and this Milwaukee man was
q typical one. He not only believed
his wife, but was SO confident of her
quality that he resolved to test her. He
thought he'd contrive to kiss her some
where suddenly, SO that she would take
him for another man, and he pictured
in his mind how she'd shrek and
struggle and scream, and how mad
she'd be, and how she'd call to him to
come and lick the fellow. So he con-
trived an excuse for taking dinner with
her at a hotel, and, excusing himself,
left her to go up to the dining room
alone, while he slid around into hall
way which she must cross, and when
she passed he just jumped out and
kissed. And that Milwaukee woman
didn't struggle nor scream nor any
thing of the kind /; she only spoke out
quickly, "Don't be so bold, mister !;
folks around here know me-" Since
the occurrence that Milwaukee man has
entirely ceased to bore his bachelor
friends with pictures of domestic bliss
or advice to assume domestic bonds
and obligations.

iaR4ssHoPPERs AND TIE FORESTS.

5GRASSHOPPERS AND THE FORESTS.
Men of science are beginning to
think that there may be some connec-
tion between the destruction OF forests
and the rapid increase of grasshoppers,
and in proof of the idea point to the
fact that insects most injurious do not
multiply near woods. The locust of the
East is bred in open plains that harbor
no birds to feed upon the larvse, that
gather no moisture to destroy the eggs,
and that let in the full light of the sun
to hasten hatching. Attention is called
TO the fact that only since the telling of
the forests of Asia Minor has the grass
hopper become destructive there. The
remedy, of course, is tree planting on a
large scale.

EZRA CORNELL.

Mr.. Cornell, the founder of the Cor
nell University, who died recently in
Ithaca, N. Y, was in all respects very
remarkable man. He was born at
Westchester Landing, N. Y, on Jan.
IL, 1907, his parents being Quakers.
Leaving home at an early age, he found
employment in the town of Homer,
whence he moved to Ithaca. In 1912
he embarked in certain telegraphic en-
terprises with Prof. Morse and F. 0. J.
Smith. He was afterward appointed
assistant superintendent of a line of
telegraph between Baltimore and Wash
ington, and was the first to conceive
the plan of substituting poles for the
pipes originally used for sustaining the
wires. In 1s45 he was appointed to
superintend the line to New York, also
the line to Philadelphia. In 1916 he
constructed line to Albany, and then
from Troy to Montreal. In 1868 he was
elected member of Assembly from
his district, and the year following to
the State Senate. His greatest work
was the grant of $500, 900 to the Cor
nell University. UpoA the meeting of
the Assembly Mr.. Cornell made over
the additional gift of 200 acres of land,
with buildings, to be used as farm,
and the Jewett collection in geology
and paleontology. Mr.. Csrnell's gen.
erosity not only enabled the trustees to
establish the colleges of agriculture
and mechanical arts, but to add eight
other departments. He was man in
all respects worthy nation honor and
lasting gratitude.
