deeply as her brave, scornful words
They were not all towards at heart, only
touched by the dread finger of panic,
which, now and then, will paralyse the
bravest. Some had struggled along
against it, and only half yielded st last
And some were there to whom old tra-
ditions had never quite lost their power
whose superstitious consciousness had
never become quite recOnciled to the
stigma of "rebel," though their reason
and Judgment both told them that
borne for the cause for which they bore
it, it as title of nobility.
The words of the little woman had
gone straight to each heart, be its
handspring what it might. Gradually
the dropping heads were raised, and the
eyes grew bright with manliness and
resolution. Before they left that night,
they had sworn asolemn oath to stand by
the cause they had adopted and the land
of their birth, through good OF evil, and
to spurn the offers Of tyranta and foes as
the deadiest insults.
Some of the names of those who met in
that secret council were known afterward
among those who fought their country's
battles most nobly, who died upon the
field of honor, or rejoiced with pure
hearts when the day of triumph came.
The name of the little woman figured
on no heroic roll-but was she the less a
heroine2

CLASSIFICATION OF CLOUDS.

Whenever, on account of some topo-
graphic circumstances, the sun heats any
locality on the surface of the earth
more than the surrounding region, a
gentle current or column of heated
air rises, and its invisible moisture
is condensed into small masses of
clouds called cumuli, which spread
and produce the mottled appearance
commonly known as ''mackere sky
But when, as it is frequently the case
in summer, valley or plain, or island,
or any other place, is much more high
ly heated than the surrounding region,
the heated air over such localities rises
more rapidly and with more ascensional
momentum; and, as it reaches the higher
and cooler regions of the atmosphere,
its moisture is condensed into large
rounded volumes or mountain-llke
masses of cumulus clouds. Such cumu-
lus clouds always precede and charac-
terize local summer storm or shower.
When the warm horizontal current from
the south, as in the winter, meets with
the old current from the north. it slopes
upward over the cooler current and forms
stripes or bands of stratus clouds along
the horizon.
These stratus clouds indicate to the OBJ
server that a warm current is coming
northward. When in summer cool
currents is moving southwark, it encoun-
ters the warm equatorial or tropical cur
rent, which again glides upward and
over it and forms horizontal bands of
stratus clouds along the upper line Of
contact, as in winter storms; but, in ad-
dition. the denser cold air from the
north, moving with momentum, will lift
up the warm and saturated air from the
tropics and its moisture will be con-
densed into masses of cumulus clouds
banked up against the top of the cold
current and arranged over the horizontal
stratus clouds. Thus is produced the
combination of cumulo-stratus cloud
which is characteristic of progressive
summer storms.
To the tornado cloud produced a
whirl of air and resembling an inverted
cone, Professor Blasius gives the name
of conus, which is both destructive ant
appropriate.
These four typical cases of clouds, viz
cumulus, stratus, cumulo-stratus ant
conus, indicate and characterize the foul
different classes of storms. -BlaSius

could only be met by legalizedsystem of
infanticide or cannibalism or general sys-
tenn of corner groceries subsidized by Gov
ernment, where man could go in to "see
a man" and stay until the Coroner was
wanted.
But there is really no cause for alarm
in America on this subject, nor can there
be for these many generations If our
system of surface drainage in large cities
is kept up as an inducement to yellow
fever and malarial diseases, and the
chronic idiocy of baseball as a national
game is kept alive, no dangerous increase
of population can ever ensue even with
our present bill of fare.

On the shore.

Cool, salt sir and the white waves breaking
Restless, eager, along the strand;
An evening sky and sunset glory
Fading over the sea and land
We two sitting along together,
Side by side, in the waning light;
Before us the throbbing waste of waters,
Behind US the sand heaps, drifted white.
Ships were sailing into the distance,
Down to the lands where the sun has gone;
The rough, fresh wind blew o'er our faces,
And the shadows Of night crept slowly on.
II is q dream that remember
Some ghost Of a hope that will come no more
We two sitting alone together,
Hand in hand on the ocean Bhore.

HOW RUBBER ROOTS ARE MADE.

Tile gum used is imported direct from
France, South America and central Africa
America being the best, while the African
gum is the poorest. The raw gum, which
is nearly white, is ground several times
between immense futed iron rollers, after
which it then passes through the compost
ton room, which process is that of passing
the rubber between chilled iron cylinders
Of many tons weight, which are kept very
hot and very smooth. A part of the rub
Der intended for "uppers" is here spread
upon and fastened to long sheets of cloth.
The heels and taps are stamped out of
sheets of gum of the required thickness.
The rubber cloth is now carried to the cut
ter's room, where it is cut out and sent to
the bootmakers.
The boots are made by men, the shoes
or ordinary rubbers by girls, while the
overshoes are made by either. One mar
will make ten or fourteen pairs of boots o
day, and receive twenty cents pair
After the bootnlaker is through they are
placed in an oven, where for twelve
hours they are subjected to a tempera.
ture of six hundred. They are ther
ready for boxing and shipping In one
factory about four thousand pairs of boots
rubbers and overshoes are turned out
daily.

FooD AND POPULATION.

The individual who assumes that there
Is nothing new for him to learn has
passed beyond the limits of human sym
pathy. He has become too egotistical to
ever know what is for his own good. In
the matter of diet he had rather starve
than avail himself of the experience Of
others. For a time, such was the sec
tional feeling in this country that the
South held out against cod
fsh-balls and succotash and
Boston baked beans, and the North set
its face with the obstinacy of Devon
shire donkey against hominy and hog,
and peach and honey and the princely
hoecake. On these substantial points
there was no assimilation or fellow feel
ing between the two sections, until quite
recently.
1t is claimed that the present harmo-
ny of tastes on questions of national
diet has been the result of the late war.
This claim is without foundation.
1t can be traced to more natural
causes. 1t is not in the nature
of things that any man should fail to fall
in love with genuine Connecticut cod
fsh-ball or a dish of Boston baked beans,
and no full-born Yankee can deny the
esculent, economical and invigorating
qualities of hog and hominy anti
dotted by small jorum of peach and
honey or its equivalent in Bourbon, and
topped off by hoecake and ham fat.
A cultivated appetite makes all the world
akin-as the music of Apollo drew forth
beasts of the field and the fowls of the
air, and the scaly monsters from the
briny depths of old ocean "to dance on
sands in harmony"
Let the members of the international
Peace Society study the bearing of these
profound truths upon the question ol
universal peace.
The celebrated French gourmand anC
philosopher, Brillat Savarin, says that
'the discovery of a new dish does more
for the happiness of mankind than the
discovery of a new planet"
Professor Goodale, Secretary of thu
State Board of Agriculture for Connect
cut, has shown himself entitled to all thu
praise the foregoing statement implies
He has discovered new dish. He ha
utilized the menhadden fish for table pur
poses. For years this fish has been caugh
in immense quantities on the shores y
Long Island and Connecticut and uset
simply as manure for those barrel
shores Subsequently fair quality o
machinery oil was extracted from them
but now Professor Goodale, after
thorough investigation, finds that th
menhadden may be made into fine al
6cle of food, equal to Prof Liebig' cele
brated extract of beef, by simple pre-
cess for extracting the oil therefrom.
A few such discoveries as this will quie

THE recent car festival of Juggernaut
in India was a complete failure. The
mighty idol moved along the highway in
his imposing chariot as usual, and hosts
of worshipers bowed before him in the
old time alteration, but somehow they
manifested an alacrity in getting out of
the way of the wheels, which was not at
all in keeping with the teachings of their
traditions. 1t is quite probable that in
their intercourse with the English they
have learned the absurdity of thus kneel-
ing down to have their heads crushed by
the massive wheels, and it seems likely
that Juggernaut will soon be hauled off
on his huge wagon and left to crumble
away in some old shed like cast-ofi
stage coach of past generations.

IT is a very general claim of bankrupts
that their disasters were mainly owing
to the "shrinkage of real estate" This
is rather of standing plea for all classes
of defalcation, whether by banks, busi-
ness interpretations or individuals. But
very few, however, ever show much
shrunken real estate amongst their assets.
This kind Of property never shrinks in
dimensions. If it does in value it is be-
cause it's owner has overloaded it with
other peoples money and put the sur
plus into some villainous venture, or used
the credit acquired by such ownership
for fraudulent purposes. Everything in
the nature of business failures is now
charged up to "shrinkage of values"
when it should be to a shrunken con-
science and unjustifiable expenditures.
