There are many people now living il
New Orleans who recolleCt the terrible
floods which swept up from the Gulf anC
OverfOwed the island on which the city
of Galveston now stands. At that time
there were but about dozen buildings
on the island, and they were nothing but
shanties.
1t was during the month of September,
of that year, that the wind, first blow
ing from the south and filling the bay,
veered around to the north, and in one
of the most terrific gales on record, drove
the waters over the island i'll such
volume that in less than eight hours the
entire country was submerged under
seven feet of water and every house
swept away.
Such was the force of the tide that a
large brig, anchored off the coast, was
carried to the center of the island and
there lOdged-being subsequently cut up
into frewood, for of course she couldn't
be got afoat again. At that time the
water remained on the island for thirty
six hours, or until the wind changed.
A gentleman now living here, but who
was on Galveston Island at the time of
the '37 flood, thinks that there can be
no doubt that Galveston is now under
water, and to a very great extent. His
argument is, that the same condition of
things prevails now that held in 1887,
and that the gales which have been
blowing along the Gulf coast for the
past three days, must necessarily have
driven the water of the Gulf over the
island, just as they did in 1887.
The city of Galveston has absolutely
no protection from overflow. Up to
within a short time ago numerous great
sandhills afforded ameasure ofresistance,
but these have been cut down to use in
filling up low places, and the city front
is open to the encroachmentO of the floods,
as if rather to invite than to repel them.

rub themselves with sturgeon oil; an eff
fective remedy, though it sometimes re-
quires to be frequently applied. Nor
man alone the only victim of these insig-
nifcant tOrmentOrs. They equally prey
upon animals of various kinds; even the
feathered tribe, far from being safe, suffer
in the region of the ewes and neck. No
permanent relief can be expected till the
chilly nights of September set in. In
this month the sandfies and the mid
geuks are numerous. The latter insinu-
ates itself all over the surface of the body,
the clothes afording no efficient protec-
ton. These insect plaques cease their
tOrments at sunset; and they disappear in
the cold of October. However the fact
may be accounted for, all these pests be-
come more numerous the farther we go
north. In the swamps, where they are
most numerous, they make dogs howl,
roll on the ground and rush into the
water. The fox shows his restlessness by
barking and swapping about; and when
his inclinatiOns would lead him to go
after birds nests, he is compelled to seek
shelter in his burrow.

French Kid Gloves.

Never do you believe" writes one
sojourning in the French capital. " that
the English can make kid gloves equal
to those we buy here. The Baroness
Burdett COutts may give premiums for
the finest goats and kids, but it will be a
long time before English kid skins reach
the perfection which characterize those of
France, or that English fingers will ar
rive at the deftness of the clever French,
who use their needles in the manufaetu49
Of gloves. 1t takes the qJfck practiced
eye of a Partisan woman of the mode, to
instantly appraise kid glove, and tell
you its quality and value. The finest
kid gloves always keep their price, and
even here are expensive articles of
toilette. Their making and finishing are
entrusted only to the best vOrkmen and
women. The unintiated are often de-
ceived, for not one third of the gloves
offered as kid are really such. | thought
myself an excellent Judge of the article,
but imagine my modification when in a
coterie of French ladies, who were pro-
nouncing upon the toilette of a country
woman, one of them expressed her admi-
ration, adding, 'alI but the gloves |
was about to exclaim, for my own were
out of the same box as those of the lady
in question, when an interruption pre-
vented this indiscretion. subsequently
discovered-and my hand blushed under
its snugly fitting covering at my ignor-
ance-that the beautiful gloves l wore
were not goats kid, but a skin 50 closely
resembling it that it was difficult to tell
the difference, but difference there was.
The French goats skin is the finest in
the world. From its birth the animal is
the object of as much care to its owner
as a babe is to its mother. 1t is kept in
a cage or coop, which is well aired and
cleaned, and is fed on pure sweet milk
several times day. Every effort is made
to keep the skin fine grained, even and
flexible. While yet of tender age the
kid is killed and carefully skinned |
After preparation, this skin is delicate
and soft to Il remarkable degree, and is |
so plant it can be stretched until it is |
scarcly thicker than tissue paper, and |
when manufactured into gloves, they fit |
with the closeness of a second cuticle."

Cigars.

The best tobacco for making eigars
grows in the western end of the island
of Cuba, and is known as the Uuettd
a6djO, the plant most in vogue there
njc0ti1,m repdndd. That which is raised
east of Havana is called UueItG Grr56a.
and is of an inferior quality. The most
noted Uegn or plantation is situated near
the town of Santiago de Cuba, and is
called Yara. The UueJtG GbGjO is divided
into five classes: One, calidGd, or libra,
noted for its good color, flavor, elasticity,
and perfection of the leaves, rendering it
desirable for wrappers; two, ynjurtado
lrincipa2, or firsts, which has less flavor,
and is usually of a lighter color; this
also is suitable for wrappers; three seq
uadas, or seconds, a shade poorer in
every particular, but good for filings
and inferior wrappers; four, terceras or
thirds, which are generally employed
for filings; five, q1tdrtGs, or fOuths, also
employed for film. The choicest to-
bacco is that raised on the banks of the
rivers which are periodically OverfOwed.
The varieties are called LO Rio H0RdO
and Pinar del Rio, and the tobacco is
distinguished from all others by fine
sand which is found in the creases of the
leaves. As the best tobacco grows in
Cuba, so also the best cigars are made
there. Previous to 1920, the manufac-
ture was a government monopoly, and
since that period the trade has been
open but 50 great is the demand, that
very little competition exists among the
manufacturers. The brands affixed to
Havana cigars are entirely arbitrary,
and are rarely continued for a great
length of time.

Drunkenness Among the French Laboring
Glasses,

The report on the material and ecOnom.
! ical condition of the laboring classes which
| has recently been presented to the French
assembly goes far to destroy the belief in
| the superiority, as regards sObrlety and
| thriftiness, of the French over the English
poor. 1t was mentioned the other day
that, while the sanitary condition of the
English factories has greatly improved OF
late years, there has been no correspond
ing improvement in the physical strength
of those who work in them; and SINH
lar discouraging statement is made by the
committee Of the assembly. At the be-
ginning of the century, it is said, employ
ers had but little capital, and consequently
no money to spend on bricks and mortar.
A factory was too often little more than
an Overcrowded shop. The increase Of
wealth has facilitated and neccssitatcd
the construction of new and larger build
ings, and the workman is no longer SEN
sibly the worse either in health or lon
gevity by reason of the labor which he
has to undergo. Yet French, equally
with English, observers speak of the pre-
mature decay which they observe in
manufacturing districts, and which is
evidently due to causes that have no
connection with the necessary conditions
of the occupations pursued there.
The French committee are disposed to
trace this decay TO premature excess in
alcoholic liquors. The merry workman
who refreshes himself after his days Ia
bor with a glass Of sugar and water, va
ried on holidays with little light wine,
is apparently unknown to these authori-
ties. If he ever existed, he has disap-
pearcd before the growing tendency to
over-indulgence in unwholesome stimu-
lants. We believe that the spirits ordi-
narily sold in a French cabaret are inn
measurably more poisonous than those
which make the stock-in-trade Of an Eng
lish publican, and in that case the effects
which the committee mourn over can not
be said to Outrun the cause. 1t would
be interesting to know to what this in
crease of drunkenness in France is 10 be
ascribed. The explanation often given
Of the same fact in this country can
scarcely hold good in France. We have
been accustomed to preach that sobriety
and access to reasonable opportunities of
amusement 90 han in hand, and t. point
to the French workingman as a striking
example Of this. 1t now turns ont that
in country which has been -4pposcd to
be especially rich in opportunities Of
amusement, the taste for drinking is also
increasing. The French artisan, espcci-
ally in the south, breathes lighter air,
and lives, or is supposed to live, a more
enjoyable life than the English; but he
is not free from the drinking habits which
do more than anything else to degrade
the English iSaturday Rerjcc.

Real Horse Sense,

That famous hurdler, George West,
the property of Mr.. Joseph DOnahue
after his breakdown last year, was re-
tired upon the farm of Capt. Powers, in
Baltimore county, Md, where he was
turned out on pasture with a number
of crippled farm and other cold-blOOded
horses. But the aristocratic racer dis
played almost human intelligence and
pride. He refused to herd with the
common stock, and would not even re-
main in the same part of the field with
them except at certain hours. Each
morning and evening, about the hours
when race-hOrses are trained, he takes
his accustomed exercise, walking around
in circle of about sixty yards for about
an hour as steadily as when under the
tuition of his trainer. After exercising
his allotted time, he leaves his walking
ground and for time capers gayly about
the lot, as though delighted at having
finished his work In the evening he
takes his gallops, throwing his head up
detiantly, as though challenging any or
all of his scrub companions to enter the
lists with him. After keeping up a rat
tling pace for a time he settles down
into 4 steady tramp for an hour, then
quietly walks into his stable. These
daily walking and running exercises are
repeated with the utmost regularity.
The other horses in the same inclosure
now follow his example, and every morn
ing and evening may be seen moving
around the circle, headed by
George West. Hundreds Of persons
visit the farm to see them. Beyond the
wa alkinU George does not associate with
the other horses, indulging in his gallops
entirely alone and keeping apart from
them atall other hours ofthe day. George
West is a chestnut horse, six years old,
by Asteriod, dam Kate Hayes, by i'm
ported Albion; second dam Eudora, by
Priam, etc. He was esteemed
as one of the best hurdlers of his day,
and in his four-year-old form won eight
out of his sixteen engagements.-TUL
