Pierced by a Needle.

Death comes at last. and with a little
pin,
Bores through his castle wall,-and
farewell. King"
What Shakespeare said Of the vanity
of kings lives describes equally we'll
the frailty of human life everywhere.
The following singular story comes
from Toronto, Canada:
A young man named Henry Hub
bard. aged thirty-eight. fell dead while
walking the streets. OF course. the
usual inquiry was instituted and eX-
animation made. 1t was at first sup
posed he was the victim of heart dis
ease. but the most vigorous search
failed to detect any signs of disease III
that organ.
The doctors we've puzzled the man
was healthy. and in the full possession
of his powers what could have caused
his sudden departure from this world:
1t was at last traced: in one section
of the heart, while under the micro
scope, was discovered the minute
point of a needle. Death had been
brought about by this broken point of
a needle. But how did the needle get
to the heart The doctors renewed
their researches. and were at last able
to follow the curse of the needle s
point. which had first entered the
mans foot. and from there had slowly
worked its way through the body to
the heart. when death resulted. This
is one of the most remarkable cases on
record. and shows from what slight
accidents death may result. All the
time, the deceased man had no knowl-
edge of his impending doom slowly
and surely the fatal piece OF steel pur-
sued its serpentlne route until 1t came
in contact with the vital organ.

from the central signal office al Wash
ington.
We shall see. presently. how the
weather lnterprets itself 10 ..OId Prob
abilities" Although il has proved
such a fruitful subject OF discourse in
all ages. yet | am afraid MANY people
who pass remarks upon il. DO not
really think what the weather i made
OF. Let us examine It's different ele-
ments.
The atmosphere has weight. Just as
water or any other fluid. although il
seems TO be perfectly bodiless. We
! must comprehend that the transparent
invisible arr Is pressing inward toward
the centre OF the earth. This pressure
varies according to the state OF the
weather. and the changes are indica-
ted by an instrument called a harome-
ter. Generally speaking. the falling
OF the mercury Ill the tube Of the ha-
ronneter indicates rain. II its rise
herdlds clear weather Sometimes the
rise is followed bv cold winds frost and
ice. What these changes really indi-
cate. however. can be determined only
IN Colii pdI illS III OIiltIIIG ClldiIGtS,
at certain hours, in a number of places
very far apart. This is done by the
Signal Service. Observations are made
at about Ito stations, IL different por-
tiOns of the country. at given hours,
and the results are telegraphed at once
to Washington, where our faithful
I" weather clerk receives them. reaS-
oniHg out from them the ''~prObabiiI-
ties which he publishes three times
IN every twenty-four hours.
But the atmosphere varies not only
in weight, but also III temperature
The thermometer tells us Of such
changes.
Besides this, the air contains a great
amount Of moisture. and it shows as
much variation III this characteristic
as in the other. For the purpose Of
making known the changes in the
moisture of the atmosphere, an instru-
ment has been inv ented called a wet
tut" thermometer.
We are thus enabled to ascertain the
weight or pressure, the temperature,
and the wetneSS of the air. anG now 1t
only remains for us to measure the
force, and point out the direction OF
the wind. This is done by the familiar
weather-yane and the thermometer.
The van shows the direction. and the
thermometer is an instrument which
indicates the velocity of the wind.
1t is by a right understanding of all
these Instruments that the signal ser
vice officer is enabled to tell what the
weather a Y Of itself; for they are the
pens with which the weather writes
out the facts from which the officer
makes up his reports for the benefit
of all concerned. Thus, however
wildly and blindly the storm may
seem to come. it sends messenger
telling just where it arose, what course
it will take, and how far it will extend.
But it tells its secret to those only who
paw strict attention.

beyond the average IN all countries,

extraordinary use OF the brain, they

An Inquest on the English Coast

Five dank bodies lay on the sands of
Knott End, on the English coast a
fortnight ago. and a child's face and
curls were hidden somewhere under
the waves, when Fisherman JOhn

told what had happened. We were

Dropped from the Rolls for Non
Payment Of Dues.

\ peculiar feature of grange usage
is the act of a subordinate grange
known as dropping from h roll"
This is not the punishment usually
known as suspension, nor is it eXpul-
sion, and yet it may be considered
either or both. 1t differs from suspen-
sion i'll this "A member suspended can
be restored only by the act OF the
grange suspending him. Should he
be dropped from the rolls he can
reinstate himself at any time by coming
forward and paying up his dues that
had accrued before and after the act
of dropping from the rolls. 1t is SINH
lar to suspension because until he re-
instates himself he is debarred all
privileges of the order, and all atfilia-
ton as a member.
1t differs from expulsion because
the delinquent may reinstate himself,
but it is expulsion or indefinite sus-
pension if the individual chooses SO to
make it.
While it would perhaps be best that
each subordinate grange should adopt
IA law declaring what shall constitute
delinquency in the payment Of dues,
and providing for notices to be given
delinquents. yet it is deemed sufficient
authority tn visit this punishment
upon all who do not comply with the
general law that each member shall
pay regular dues into the treasury of
his or her subordinate grange.
Oranges hat have promptly and
thoroughly applied this remedy for
delinquency have. as a general rule,
enjoyed 4 greater degree of prosperity
than others that carry so much dead
weight.-Southern HHsJandmdn.

and are welded. The fugitive ON
mits a crime III Virginia, goes TO the
pavement on the other side of the
street and talks defiantly 10 the officer
OF the opposite side, who has a war

too bold disposition will. sometimes.

instances have occurred of a fugitive
beng hustled acros the line by a party
prepared, while in the act of holding
such Il conversation, and they tell Of a
man Who d~efiantly perched himself
on a pile Of store boxes within six feet
of the line. Jeerlng at the officers on
