Biiah and the Widow.

The poor widow with nine small chill
dren and a months rent due was around
to see Biiah. She began:
Mr., JOY, have you hearth"
He offered to make an affidavit that
he had.
Then if you have, Mr.. JOY" she con-
tinued, wiping her eyes on her apron,
were you ever left widow with nine
small children crying around you for
bread and no bread in the house?"
Biiah reflected a moment and then
concluded that he hadnever been placed
in such position.
"Then you don't know how awful it
is, Mister Joy. don't care for myself,
but it almost kills me to hear them nine
children crying together in chorus for
food. [ came around to see you and
ask you what I'd better do"
why, I'd go to work and get up a
square meal for them" was his honest
reply.
"A square meal out of shavings" she
almost screeched. Il told you I had
nothing in the house to eat-not even
an old oyster CAM"
He looked at her red nose, made a
mental calculation as to how much
liquor she had swallowed during the
last ten years, and then calmly said:
Poor woman, return home and bring
me your nine dear children, and [ will
have oyster soup ready for them, and
then take the whole lot to a shoe store"
Tt couldn't do it, sir" she stam-
mered "they is all in bed with hard
colds"
Then I will go home with you, poor
widow, and the little dears shall be fed
and clothed"
"Oh--oh-but you couldn't, sir-you
couldn't, cause my house doesn't look
fit for the likes of you, Hand me 81,
sir, and I'll hurry home to 'em, and fill
every blessed darling with soup"
Il will go along and carry the oys-
ters, said he, as he got up,
ooh, no, sir-it's too much trouble for
you. Just hand me out 80 cents, and
the angels will bless you forevermore."
III have to go along and get $50
bill changed come."
She made a rush for the door, knock
ing the india-rubber cat clear under the
table, and, standing under the window,
she shook her fist at him and yelled
"Ill go home and teach them nine
dear children to call We an old bald
headed ward delegate, and don't ye for
get the factp
"Heart-broken mother = distressed
widow, return-hold on-come back"
he cried But she never returned, =

The Mariners Cautionary Signal.

The cautionary signals for shipping
are upon the coast, seaboard, or lake,
and in view of the mariner. Each is
under the charge Of sergeant and as
sistant, whose duty may be described
as pickets of warning on the fringe OF
the country. The observations from
the observing stations having conyerged
upon Washington, and the general and
special predictions arrived at, the an
nouncements radiate from the central
ofice-the brain--along the wires, or
nerves, to the remotest digits upon the
signal halyards
When, as is sometimes the case, the
signal station is placed in the lfe-sav-
ing service station, farther advantage
is gained, as the two work we'll to-
gether, and the Hfe-saving service has
the benefit of the wires of the sister en-
terprise.
The cautionary signal of the United
States signal service is q square red flag
with a black square in the center by
day; a red light is used by night The
flags are of two sizes 15x15 feet and 8x8
feet, the black square being one-ninth
of the area of the flag. The larger flag
is used for important stations, about ten
in number, and the smaller flag for the
other stations.
The stations on the Atlantic are from
Maine to Texas, and the lakes from Os-
wego to Duluth. The number of sta
tions on the Atlantic proper is twenty
four, counting Key West, and on the
Gulf of Mexico, six, emitting Key West,
already enumerated. The lakes have
fifteen stations. Warning notices are
also sent by telegraph to the Canadian
meteorological service when any disturb
ance occurs which is likely to affect
them, and is distributed to the points
interested,
The purport of the signal is this: "A
wind having a velocity of twenty-five
miles an hour may shortly be expected
at this place"
That is oil that the flag processes to
say; the probable excess over twenty
five miles an hour, and the direction of
the wind, are not given ley the flag. The
time may shortly arrive when, by an ex-
tension of the system, the additional
data, such as Severe storm expected"
may be embodied in the signal; but at
present the notice is just what it is
called and processes to be" cautionary"
1t is then the duty of the mariner, ship
per, or whoever else is interested, to
consult the weather report for farther
information, and to make frequent ex-
aminations of local barometers and other
instruments, and study the local signs
of the weather-E. III. Knight, IN
HdTp8T'S Magazine for December.

The Motion Of Wagon Wheel.

The instantaneous photographs of
trotting horses, taken by Muybridge, OF
San Francisco, furnish the first visible
demonstration of the much disputed
fact that the top of wagon wheel,
when running along the ground, moves
faster than the bottom 1t is obvious
that an instantaneous photograph of a
wheel, revolving upon its axle in the air,
would show all parts of the wheel with
equal distinctness. But if the wheel
have progressive motion, and any one
portion has a greater motion than its
corresponding part, above or below,
there must be liability to blurring in
that part of the picture.
These pictures are taken with so brief
an exposure that the horse, though
moving at 2:24 gait, is sharply out
lined. The wheels of the drivers sulky,
however, have a different tale to tell.
The lower third of each wheel is sharp
and distinct, as if absolutely at rest.
Not so with the top, that part of the
wheel showing a perceptible movement
during the 2,0O0th part of q second
of the exposure of the plate. The
upper ends of the spokes are blurred,
and the rim likewise, thus giving phys
ical demonstration of the truth which
mathematics establishes. = Scientific

TI'uiSnlS.

Senator Bayard, in his late address at
the Pimhco fair grounds, Baltimore,
pressed home the following truisms:
A saying of Pericles has been pre-
served" that possessions (houses and
lands) can never produce men, but men
can gain of such things as many as they
will"
New inventions may render the old
useless, and the machinery of to-day
may be cast into the rubbish pit to-mor-
row, our institutions of governmentmay
fail and be replaced by history
is filled with such illustrations. But
there are other things that will never
fail, and can never safely be discarded !;
are needed now, always were and ever
will be needed:
Self-reliance and self-restraint.
Industry and frugality.
Courage and patience.
Truthfulness and honor.
Morality and religion.
These are the essential bases which
keep the world sweet and correct those
lamentations which human passions
generate.
Upon these qualities we must depend

The Glove Language.

The English girls have improved upon
the language Of the fan and the hand
kerchief by devising a very copious
vocabulary of the gloves, which, for the
benefit Of American women, we beg to
pirate from an English contemporary.
1t runs thus:
Drop a glove-Yes.
Crumple the glove in the right hand
No.
Half unglove the left hand ndifer-
ence.
Tap the left shoulder with the glove
Follow me.
Tap the chin with the gloves-I love
you no longer.
Turn the gloves inside out hate
you.
Fold the gloves neatly -I should like
to be with you.
Put on the left glove, leaving the
thumb uncovered DO you love me?
Drop both gloves-I love you.
Twill the gloves round the fingers
Be careful; we are watched
Slap the back Of the hand with the
gloves-I am vexed.
Take a glove in each hand and sepa-
rate the hands-I am furious. -NeeU

The Eruption Of YesuyiuS.

Eighteen hundred years ago the
fiourishing cities of Pompeii and Her
culaneum were buried beneath the
ashes rained down upon them from the
crater of Vesuvius After that for a
thousand years only seven eruptions
are recorded In the next hundred
years there were two more; then for
five centuries onl y two very light out
breaks are known to have occurred. In
the year 1851, however, the protracted
rest was broken. The mountain had
been so long dormant that it was for
gotten that it had ever been in erup-
ton. The walls of the crater were COW
cred with forests harboring the wild
boar and other game it's bottom had
grassy plains, on which cattle quietly
grazed; the slopes of the mountain we're
cultivated up TO the foot Of the cone.
Suddenly, in the latter part of Deem
Der, to the amazement and dismay of
the inhabitants, began one of the most
terrific eruptions recorded in the history
of Vesuvius. After violent and repeat
ed shocks Of earthquake the volcano
burst out with tremendous noise. The
pine-shaped mass of vapor and ashes
rose far above the clouds, and, spread
ing in every direction, covered portion
of Italy with a thick layer of volcanic
sand and dust, destroying all vegetation.
The rain of ashes extended beyond the
Adriatic. Torrents of hot mud and
seven streams of liquid lava, rushing
with unusual rapidity from the crater
and the foot of the cone to the sea, fin
ished the work of destruction. The
beautiful city of Tore del Greco and
Others were overwhelmed and almost
entirely destroyed From that time on
eruptions have succeeded each other at
intervals of rarely more than ten years,
and usually less. OF all these that Of
1894 was the grandest and most destruc-
tive.
To-day the eyes of the world are again
turned toward the burning mountain. Tor
two years past Yesuyius has been in an
eruptive state, and lava has been steadily
rising within the cone. The cup is full
and must run over, but those who know
predict that it will not be violent erup
ton. The overrunning lava will pre-
sent beautiful spectacle, but nothing
more. kilograms from all points have
reached Naples asking for immediate in
formation when the event comes, and
the streets of the city are thronged
every night with people watching the
reflection of the internal fires.
The condition of Vesuvius gives some
interest to the project of the construc-
ton of a railway intended to conduct
travellers from Naples to the margin of
the crater. The scheme proposed by
Neapolitan banker has just been adopt
ed According to the Itdlje, the wagons
will be dragged by rope. The length
of the way will be only $40 meters, and
the altitude reached 400 meters
above the level of the sea. Each
wagon will have only four seats, and
four wagons carrying sixteen passengers
will go up at the same time that four
others loaded with sixteen persons will
come down. Each wagon Will be supplied
with patent brake for stopping instant
ly if the rope Ha,per's Weehly.

The HOmelieSt Man.

A few years ago there lived in an adj
joining county physician who, though
not Adonis, was not less respected for
his professional attainments than adj
mired for his social qualities. On one
occasion, after consultation in neigh
boring county, and while at dinner with
his host, he asked him if he ever saw his
(the doctor's) wife, and was answered in
the negative. Then" said the doctor,
"will you do me the favor to call on her
the first time you go to town." Ger
tainly, sir, if you wish it" said the host,
in some surprise; =" butwhy?" "Why?"
repeated the doctor; why, because my
wife insists that / am the homeliest man
in the world, and one look at you will
convince her of her mistake. "-Blpg-
