"Well, Miss Prim, it was your duty
to pass right on without seeming to no

A Woman Free Mason.

Harper's Bazaar says that it is mis-
take to suppose that the lady who con-
cealed herself in a room where a
'1odge" was about to be held, and who
when discovered was compelled or al

lady is not. She was the Hon. Mrs.
Aldworth, and continued through life to
take an active interest in the Order into
which in her youth she had SO strangely
gained admission. She founded the

A THEORY OF THE STORMS.

They are Explained by Father SecchPs
Observations on the SUMS Bulk.
[Ann Arbor (NIich.) Letter to New York Graphic.I
/ For nearly two months reports of
great and disastrous inundations have
been coming in from various extended
districts of Europe and America, and lat
terly from Africa and Asia. In South
ern France there has been the greatest
destruction of life and property; many
large tracts of land in England-as In
Somerset, Wits, Gloucester, Leicester
shire-are now submerged in South
Wales the loss of life and property has
been enormous; violent storms have
ragged in South America, and in our
Western States acres upon acres of pas
trlre aud corn lands are under water;
rivers are rising high above their ordin-
ary level; and in Colorado, where rain is
generally unknown at this season of the
year-in California, where rain in June
is an anomaly, the water has fallen in
overwhelming torrents. 1t seems as
though univel sal deluge were immi-
nent. Heavy deposits of rain, hail and
snow have caused the floods, and in or
binary circumstances, though storms are
rightly supposed to be due mainly to
local causes, yet when these phenomena
simultaneously become SO general in
places widely sundered it is logical
necessity to seek for some general cause
of them all.
That the size and distribution of the
solar spots have an electromagnetic eff
feet on the earth and are connected with
the occurrence of storms other than
magnetic storms is now fully known,
but observations made by Father Secchi
during the years 1871-72 have cast still
further light Oh this point by showing
that the size of the sun is not always the
same, but that it varies in such way
that when the solar diameter has mini
mum values the number of spots and
protuberances are at their maximum.
During violent solar storm, when jets
of incandescent hydrogen ninety or a
hundred thousand miles in length are
darting towards the earth, the solar di-
ameter is less than during periods Of
comparative calm. According to Cap
tain Ericsson, the permanent contrac-
ton of the suns diameter is 1907 feet
every day, but the temporary fuctua-
tions are vastly greater than this, and
capable of producing terrestrial storms
proportionally to their activity. The
dynamic activity of the sun is greatest
when the diameter is the smallest, and
Uice versa. Of late there have been no
ticed greater and more rapid fuctua-
tons than at any time since Father
Secchi's announcement was made; spec
troscopic observations made here show
this in remarkable degree. The most
plausible theory of the terrestrial storms
1 am able to give is that they are caused
by unusual electromagnetic and ther-
mometric conditions caused by these
unusually active and rapid changes in
the sun.

To Keep Thin.

If man inclined to obesity desires to
keep reasonably thin, he must deny him
self some of the lrlxuries of the table and
take plenty of exercise. Horseback
riding, playing at billiards, fencing,
swimming and gymnastics, are all equally
excellent. At table, he should abstain
from bread, butter, milk, beer, potatoes,
pudding, and from sugar in every shape.
Biscuit or dry bread, every kind of fish
except salmon, every kind of meat ex-
cept pork, and all vegetables except po-
tatoes may be eaten. Plenty of fruit is
also recommended. By persevering in
this regime II "fat mar" " may soon be-
come less Of burden to himself, and
enjoy lie more.

HIS NOSE.

In the middle Of his face,
Never getting out of place,
Is his nose.
Multiplying briskly there.
The carbuncles gleam and glare
As 1t grows.
Strange the history it has,
Strange Dc things which comes TO pass
Round that nose.
Time full many changes wrought,
Men were sold and men were bought;
Still it blows.
How 1t swells in lurid pride,
Hov'ring lightly DER the tide
As there flows
Underneath its purple grin
Stream on stream of ripping gin,
Beaming nose!
Long and earnest wos the work,
But his soul no toll would shirk,
How it growsi
When he sinks into the grave
May grim death unto US save
His big nose.
Who would lose the gentle wheeze,
Muddy shuttle, rafting sneeze
of that.nose?
Who will check the rising tear
When in pallor on the bier,
Home 1t goes?

BALTIMORE has new idea in the way
of transferring grain, which New York
would do well to adopt if she wishes to
save the remnants of her whilom monop-
oily of the Western trade. At the former
city, cars are run directly upon a two
story scow, which is then towed along
side the steamer. The pipes are ad-
iusted, and the grain runs down into the
hold. Gravitation does the work of
steam, and does it much cheaper. The
adoption of such system in New York
would hurt the men who now make ex-
tortionate profits out of the cumbrous
"lighters " into which the grain is slow
ly shoveled from the cars, to be after
wards slowly shoveled into the steam
ships, but it would benefit good part
of The rest of American mankind.
