successful. We agree with the Kansas
City Times, that considering only the
convenience Of the delegates, no better

A Chance for the Scientists.

The terrible calamities which have
overtaken a number Of towns In the Mis-
slsslpp1 valley are due to a destructive
storm agency, which, in it's cause and
origin, is mystery. Previous to fifteen
years ago Violent storms were common
IN that region of country, but it has only
been within that period that there have
been such tremendous commissions of
the elements as have almost obliterated
some OF the Western towns. Houstonia,
IN Missouri, was smitten in this way re-
Gently, and hardly one stone left standing
upon another. This visitation was, in it's
main features, similar to those which
leveled buildings at Alton, East st. Louis
and number of rural neighborhoods in
Missouri and Illinois. A small cloud.
ono bigger than a. mans hand" rises
above the rim OF the horizon, rapidly
grows IN size, and sending out long arms
OF dense vapor, which touch the surface
OF the earth, moves straight on it's line
OF march with inconceivable swiftness
and strength. The width of the track is
not usually more than $50 to 800 yards.
Outside OF these limits not the least in
jury is done, but inside of them the de-
structlon is complete. The force is so
irresistible that the hugest forest trees
are overthrown as if they were saplings,
and on one occasion locomotive was
overturned. The power is equal to that
OF the most intense tropical hurricane,
but thermometrical conditions seem to
have nothing to do with these North
American tornadoes, as they appear in
differently in summer or winter. It is
suggested inthe West that science should
examine into the strange demonstrations
OF mysterious power. Coming almost
with the speed of light, doing it's work
in few minutes, and departing as quick
ly as it came, there is necessarily but a
small chance for the observation of the
phenomena, but the meteorological
scientists would probably be able to
make valuable discoveries even in the
face of such obstacles.

Purchasing Horses.

In examining horse, be careful not
to let the dealer Or one of his assistants
hold him, for many an unsoundness is
hidden by a particular position the horse
may be placed in by the dealer, and the
fear OF the dealers whip often makes a
horse FESTIVE and appear to have more
life than he generally has, and it makes
1t hard to examine a horse when he is
constantly moving. IF the general APP
pearance OF the horse please the eye of
the purchaser, he can then begin to ex-
anime him. First look at the teeth to
find out his age. The following rule is
generally correct, viz:
year-Incisors all visible.
years-Nippers lost their marks.
years Permanent nippers have come.
4 years-Permanent diyiders have come.
years-Tusks up in a horse mare has
none.
years-Mark gone from nippers, and nearly
from dividelS :.
7years-Mark gone from dividers; the cor
ners are level. N
years-Teeth more oval. "
years-Nippers rounder; dividers oval.
After this it is difficult to judge. Next
examine the eyes. If they shine and
look bright, and no spot or blueness is
visible, and the horse blinks when the
hand is raised near them, we may con-
clude that he is all right in that respect.
Next the wind. If on pinching the
windpipe the horse gives an asthmatical
cough, there is something wrong. IF he
seems to heave irregularly in the flank
his wind is bad, and if, when frightened
by the whip or anything, he grunts, he
is also unsound in that respect. L.
Triton, IN Country Gentleman.

Precautions Against Fire.

If kerosene just purchased can be
made to burn in saucer by igniting
with match, throw it away. Put wire
work over gaslights in show windows :;
sprinkle sand instead of sawdust on
floors of oil stores keep shavings and
kindling wood away from steam boilers
and greasy rags from lofts, cupboards,
boxes, etc. see that all stovepipes enter
well in the chimney, and that all lights
and fires are out before retiring or leav-
ing places of business ; keep matches in
metal or earthen vessels, and out of the
reach of children and provide piece of
stout rope, long enough to reach the
ground, in every chamber. Neither
admit any one if the house be on fire,
except police, fremen, or known neigh
bors nor swing lighted gas brackets
against the wall nor leave small chill
dren in room where there are matches
or an open fire nor deposit ashes in
wooden box or on the floor nor use a
ightin examining the gas meter. Never
leave clothes near the fireplace to dry :;
nor smoke or read in bed by candle or
lamp-ight nor put kindling wood to dry
on top of the stove nor take a light
into a closet nor keep burning or
other infammable fluids in rooms where
there is fire nor pour out liquor near
an open light nor allow smoking about

Facts About Flour,

That excellent practical paper, the
Boston Journal of Chemistry, in we'll
considered article on the effects of fine
flour, says:
cat the present time it is the practice
to a large extent among millers to grind
the finest, soundest wheat into fine
flour, and the poorest into what is called
Graham flour. This term Graham
-four ought no longer TO be used. 1t
is kind of general name given to MKT
ures of bran and spoiled -four, to
large extent unfit for human food What
we need is good, sweet, wheat -four,
finely ground, and securely put up for
family use.
"This article we do not find in the
market, and the Western miller who will
give his earnest attention to furnishing
such flour will realize a fortune speedily.
The brown loaf made from whole wheat
is to our eye as handsome as the white.
It can be made with all the excellencies
of the white, SO far as hghtness is con-
cerned, and it is sweeter and more pal
atable. With this loaf we secure all the
important nutritive principles which the
Creator, for wise reasons, has stored in
wheat.

and colleges and their instructors and
pupils, from 1870 to 1873 inclusive
From the table we learn that the drift is
still in the wrong direction-the multi
plication of weak institutions instead of
strengthening those already in existence.
Thus, during the years named, our So
called seats of learning have increased
ffty-seven, while the addition to the
number of students has been only $3.50
or so pupils for each new college or
university. No such number can sup
port faculty equal to thorough col

The Mails and the Express Companies.

The amendment to the Sundry Civil
Appropriation bill, repeating Section s
of the act of June, 1874, which relates to
mail matter of the third class, was offered
in the Senate by Mr.. Ramsey, of Mime
sofa, late Chairman of the Committee on
Postoffices and Post Roads. An attempt
to have this repealed was made in the
House earlier in the session, but it failed.
1t was urged almost entirely by the
Adams Express Company, whose man
ayers were here for several weeks, work
ing for it's success. They claimed that
the law of June, 1874, which allowed
packages of four pounds to be carried as
miscellaneous matter in the mails, dis
eliminated against the business of the
express companies, and it was stated that
the companies had experienced falling
off of several hundred thousand dollars
during the year, all of which they at
tributed to the operation of this law.
The amendment was struggled in during
the last hours of the session, without at
tracing much attention Washington

Remarkable Discovery of Coal.

Some wonderful coal discoveries have
just been made in Ell Dorado Canon. a
few miles southeast of Dayton. A short
time since there occurred a food in the
canon which swept away the toll-road
leading up along its channel, and tore
things to pieces generally. The road be-
ing washed away, it appears that no one
tried to travel through the ravine. A
day or two since, however, the Virginia
City Coal Company whose mine is well
up toward the head of the canon, sent
some of the employees out to examine
the road in order to see if it were posi-
BILE to repair it. In travelling down the
canon these men came to a place where
the water had torn up and swept out the
whole bed of the stream, exposing an
immense bed Of COAL The coal had been
torn up and washed down the stream,
and there remains regular pavement of
it across the canon for considerable dis.
lance along it's course. AS yet they
have not dug through the bed to ascer-
gin it's thickness. Virginia (Nev.)

Receipts.


The grain markets have been quite active
during the past week-that is for the leading
cereals-spring wheat and corn. At times con-
siderable excitement prevailed and liberal
speculative business was transacted. The
bull " interest seemed to have the
control Of the trade, and, as might
be expected, they used their best
efforts to force higher range of prices, to the
serious discontinue of the shorts, some Of
whom were compelled to lay down" under the
force Of circumstances, a procedure which
naturally ended in increasing the excitement
The continued unfavorable condition of the
weather and the favorable tone of the adyces
received from Liverpool and New York gave en-
couragement to holders, making them tirmer in
their views and less anxious to realize The
same influences created some alarm on the part
of ''shorts and made them anxious to pro-
vide for their outstanding contracts. Spring
wheat advanced about sc per bu. The
prospects of increased and frequent fluctuations
in values stimulated an increased desire on
the part of outside parties to speculate, and
numerous buying and selling orders we're re-
ceiyed from the interior. Corn sympathiZed with
the fluctuations in wheat, closing very firm at
outside quotations, although wheat closed
easier. Oats. rye and barley ruled compare

grains detracting from the interest. Prices,
however, were firm and invariably higher, trad
