/ Another Deluge Coming.
from the Louisville Courier-Journal.

l11ou SAo AOulsfuCs OOuEloT-JOufna
A Belgian professor has published a
work entitled "Peorodicite DIES Grands
Deluges Resultant du Movement Gradu.
ell de la Terrc," in which he warns US
that we may be on the lookout for anoth-
er deluge of the world At certain regu-
larly recurring intervals, he maintains,
the waters OF one hemisphere are sudden
ly precipltated across the equator and
flood the other. The last OF these de-
luges, which always flow from north to
south, or from south to north, was that
of Noah's time, which was from the
north. Hence the explanation of the great
preponderance of water in the southern
hemisphere, and OF the general southern
trend of North and South America, A.
RIGA and many minor peninsulas. The
next of these deluges will flow from the
south to the north. The course, he argues,
Is the alternate increase and decrease in
the ice-caps at the poles, and the conse-
quent change of the earth's equilibrium.
Since 1248 the South Pole has been con-
tinually charging, while the North Pole
has been proportionally diminishing, to-
day the diameter OF the southern glacier
being about 5000 miles and that of the
northern 1900. When these two glaciers
shall have arrived at their maximum and
minimum extension, then will the earth
tilt over and be submerged by another
great food, the fifteenth of the kind that
has occurred. In view of this impending
and somewhat serious probability, the
question arises. What are we going to
do about it2 If no one can offer better
suggestion, would it not be advisable that
each Of us resolve himself into his own
ark by wearing night and day one of
Paul Boynton's rubber swimming Co.'S
tunes.

Six Miles to School.

One of Dickens characters, Mark
Tapley, was noted for being Jolly under
difficulties. How many school-boys
would initiate the remarkable Mark and
be jolly if they had to walk six miles to
school and back every day2 Yet Sir
Titus Salt, the founder of tho model
manufacturing town, Saltaire, used to
do it when q boy of 9 years.
The village in which this young Salt
lived could boast of no better educator
than woman who kept a dame school.
As the parents of q number of boys
wished to give them classical and COM
mercial education, they sent their sons
to a school six miles distant, kept by a
clergyman.
The boys started early in the morn
ing, carrying their dinners with them,
Titus beingan oatmeal cake and q kettle
of milk. In winter he often had to 60
in the dark mornings and milk the cow
himself tor his daily supply.
But the Lads never thought of COM
planning of the length of the journey.
It was q bracing constitutional" and
they made the road ring with their
CHEEKY voices. They would rendez-
.vous at an appointed time and certain
spot. Those who were in. time wrote
their names on piece, of slate. ); This
was put in a we'll known hole in . wall,
that the lateecomers might see who had
been punctual and gone on their way.
=, SO tar from doing them. any harm,
this daily journey strengthened the
boys constitutions and developed their
bodies. When Titus became q man he
had : working power which enabled
him TO do 9 large amount Of labor with
but slight fatigue. ..>. : IN.

1t is shame to give the Oakland girls
away in this manner, we know, but our
chief object in printing the following
truthful story is to warn them of the dan
ger they run when they venture to wear
short walkingdresses this side of the

The other morning a belle from the
city OF water-sprinklers stepped into
Market street car, and vas at once the
object of the most profound attention on
the part OF all the other passengers.
MAKE room for this lady, shouted
the conductor, with unusual alacrity.
"Move up there, gentlemen. Bout time
you sat down for while, amt it, miss?"
he added.
She's just up to go, sin't she:' said
one man to another, admiringly.
The young lady thought these city
men were getting more impudent than
ever, but then they had pretty good taste
after all, SO she looked out of the. win

'the way it blisters and bunions them up
is just awful"

Whose Skill in the Use of Roots and Leaves
Came from the Seminoles
We came across an old darkey the other
day, character in his way, who evident
iy gave true and veritable autobiogra-
ply. He says he will be 81 years next
January and was born III South Carolina;
his mother was an African born woman.
In the early days of the Revolution she
was captured by the Indians, and lived
with them for years, and while with them
became familiar with their ways of cur
ing diseases and wounds, the roots and
herbs they used, and after her return to
white settlements she became noted as
doctress, not only Of colored, but of white
people of high and low degree. The old
man from early childhood always emf
with his mother in gathering, and assist
ed LII preparing and giving medicine, and
growing up, he has followed it up, and
had q great reputation for his skill in
the up-country. He says that he has
been N arried three times, is the father
twenty-eight children-all boys, no girls
and is now here on visit to his great
great-grandchildren. He generally has
in stock varieties of roots, leaves, flowers
and dccoctions for various diseases. His
diagnosis of disease is very simple, and
he makes no secret of the virtues of his
medicines or their results. It is said
that with colored patients he, eithe
from b. lief or to humor them, practices
the "spells' and "charms" which Africans
use, and which have been transplanted
and secretly continued here.

And Mr.. Podgers retired, worried with
the labors of the day, vexed with the
prospect of a continuance in town OF the
same kind of annoyance he had endured
from his country neighbors. ssss.
Next morning there was lots do In, the
way of fixing up things, and Mr.. Podgers
rose early and prepared himself for an
other busy day. Just as breakfast was
over, he happened to look through the
front window. and discovered man
standing on the sidewalk at the gate,
through which boy was entering to-
ward the house. A few steps down the
walk was girl approaching, carrying
an empty tin, and across from the other
direction, coming towards the house, al
SO, was woman in faded calico dress
and dirty sun bonnet.

vous!y locking the door, and remarking
to Susie Hannah, "they are going to take
us by thunder" he picked up his hat,
slipped out Of the rear door, and down
the alley and hurried to a shop at which
he had noticed the sign, "Timothy Streak
ems, painter.
Entering the building and 1nqulring
for the proprietor, he said. swell now,
Mr.. Streakems, as sure as guns, I have
not come to borrow anything"

"No,' said Podgers, "but if you have

Mr.. Podgers.
"Excellently WE'LL said Podgers.
"What shall put on 1t?' asked the
painter.
"Put on it," replied Podgers, "BoR-
RowERs NOT WANTED HERE, and do 1t
quick"
Very soon the letters were shaped on
the sign, and Podgers bore it triumph
antly homo and tackled it to the fence
close to the front gate.
''That'll fix 'em," said Mr.. Podgers to
Susie Hannah.
"Mebby and mebby not" was the re-
ply.
But fix them it did, and so great re-
form did it work in Cantolope Corners,
that now whenever man wants thing
in that town, he either buys or hires it.

The Dialect Of Colorado.

Not the least important thing is to
familiarize ones self with the dialects
Of the State, which are getting to be
widely used, and knowledge Of which
is essential to understand an editorial
in Colorado newspaper. A friend &C.
costed me one day as follows: Il say,
Tom, are you going to the 'round-up'
at Maj BIS tonight? Going to have
q 'way-up' time. The pretty Miss
h will be there. But they say Jim
D. has got her 'corralled.'" If you
wish to express the demise of friend
you would say in Southern Colorado
that "he'd gone over the range;" it
would be more elegant to say that ahe'd
passed in his chips" while in Northern
Colorado nothing would be so expressive
as "he's struck bedrock at last" Cow
puncher, mule-skinner and bull-whack-
er each express honorable callings.
while pot-slinger, hash-driver and grub
choker refer to the chefs de cuisine in the
more-retired parts of the State. If YOU
try to sell horse, the first question
will be, "Does he buck?" A prospector
starting out will @pack his burro; :" i. e.,
load his provisions and tools on small
species Of donkey.-Deaauer Tribune.

SUICIDE OF THE SCORPION.
The Destruction of the Animal by its Own
Deadly Poison.
From the London Time

Deadly Poison.
From the London Times.
Doubts have been expressed at various
times, even by learned naturalists, as to
the reality Of the suicide or self-destruc-
ton of the scorpion by means of its own
poison, and these doubts hove been again
stated by Mr.. R. E. Hutchinson of Pesha-
wur, as the result of his own observations.
I think, writes Mr.. Allen Thompson to
Mature, it may be useful to give an artic-
ulate account Of phenomenon as it has
been related to me by an witness,
which removes all possible doubt as to its
occurrence in certain circumstances.
While residing many years ago, during
the summer months at the baths Of Luc-
ca, In Italy, in somewhat damp local.
ity, my informant, together with the rest
of tho family, was much annoyed by the
frequent intrusion of small black scor-
pions into the house, and their being
secreted among the bedclothes, in shoes,
and In other articles of dress. It thus
became necessary to be constantly on the
watch tor these troublesome creatures,
and to take means fol their removal and
destruction. Having been informed by
natives of the place that the scorpion
would destroy itself, ifexposed to sudden.
light, my informant and her friends soon
became adopts in catching the scorpions,
and disposing of them in the. manner
suggested. This consisted in combining
the animal under an inverted drinking
glass or tumbler, below which card
was inserted when the capture was made,
and then, waiting till dark, suddenly
bringing the light of candle near to the
glass in which the animal was confined.
No sooner was this done than the scor-
pion invariably showed signs Of great ex-
citement, running round and round the
interior of the tumbler, with reckless vel

having lasted for minute or more, the
ANIMAL suddenly became quiet, ana turn.
