The Cold Wave.

The climate Of the United States,
and especially the eastern portion OF
il, is subject to great and rapid
changes. These are caused, in many
instances, by the large extent OF land
surfaces over which its territory ex-
tends and the difference in the
amount Of solar heat received in diff
ferent parts. When large bodies OF
snow have been deposited in the
north the wind sweeping over them
is deprived OF its heat, and a lower
temperature Is the result. When
winds from more southerly ATTITUDES
occur, the reverse takes place. The
vicinity Of the large oceans which
margin the continent OF North Amer
lea on the West and East also tend to
produce a change, water parting with
its heat less readily than the land.
In addition to these the current OF
warm water thrown along the east
coast Of the, Unit d States by the Gulf
Stream, and in the Pacific by the Sea
Of Japan, also exert powerful inau-
ence on the climate OF the United
States. That waves OF heat and cold
travel in certain directions. and often
with increasing rapidity. is generally
caused by the course Of chains
of mountains and the vi
entity Of oceans and lakes. In the
states east of the Alleghanies clouds
loaded with rain or snow generally
come from the East or North, while
In the great valley Of the Mississippi
the cold wave generally has its origin
In the ice and snow covered countries
direct north, and periods of drouth by
winds from the South. Our winters.
probably. have not so much severe
weather as occurred in the early set
Element OF the continent, but it takes
place more suddenly and to a greater
extent. This is easily accounted for,
as the land, denuded OF timber, pre-
sents less obstruction to the advance
Of storms and also affords a greater
diversity OF exposure in its surface TO
the rays OF the sun and becomes
more readily and differently heated.
As Is we'll known wind is nothing
more than air rushing In to restore
the equilibrium which has been dis
turbed by an expansion caused by
heat. and when the air thus moving

DAM in the right side, under the
| edge OF the ribs, increases on pres
ure; sometimes the pain is in the left
ide; the patient is rarely able to lie
IN the left side; sometimes the pain is
lit under the shoulder blade, and it
requently extends to the top of the
boulder, and is sometimes mistaken
)r rheumatism in the arm. The
;omach is affected with loss of appe-
lite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
raj are costive, sometimes alternative

ain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
ensation in the back part. There is
enerally considerable loss of mem
ny. accompanied with a painful SEN
aiion of having left undone some
hing which ought to have been done.
\ slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
yeariness and debility; he is easily
.tartled, his feet are cold or burning,
md he complains of prickIy sensa-
ion of the skin; his spirits are low;
nd although he is satisfied that excr-
ise would be beneficial to him, yet
&c can scarcely summon up fortitude
'nough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
very remedy. Several of the above
.ymptoms attend the disease, but cases
ave occurred where few of them ex-
Sted, yet examination of the body,

ave been extensively deranged.

Paddock spoke of the importance of the agricultural interests of the country, and the necessity for Congress taking action to build up that interest. He referred to the locust plague, diseases of cattle and swine, all of which were subjects for prompt action or Congress. He favored the establishment of g. national academy of agriculture, similar to West Point, where all the sciences relating to aeri- culture should be taught At the concuslon q his remarks the resolution was agreed to.

One Leagues Good Work,

Chicago has citizens league which is doing promising work in saving young men and boys from dissipation. It was formed three years ago, on the discovery that quarter of the arrests in the city and of the commitments at the house of correction were of minors, twenty years old and under. The league investigated, and found that 30, 900 boys and girls patronized the city's drinking places, 1000 of which were largely sup ported by their patronage. Public opinion sustained the suppression of this glaring evil, and the saloon keepers who encouraged it were visited with the penalties of the law. One of these keep CTS had to pay $100 and costs for getting two boys of seven and eleven so drunk that they rolled in the gutter. Chil- dren of Christian families were system atically lured into drinking dens and encouraged to cultivate taste for liquor. A widowed mother, who visited the saloon where her boy was being ruined, and begged them not to give him liquor, was thrust out into the street, and her boy pushed back into the place. The league took up the widows cause; succeeded in getting the brutish proprietor punished and the boy to reform. The city statutes revoke the licenses of such offenders; and with the mayors active help, the society has closed out over fifty of them. It has also diminished the juvenile arrests for 1878 by 1000, as compared with 1877, and has done it all at an outlay of only $1 .OOO.

Shattuc's Office Boy.

General Shattuc, of the A. and G. w. railroad, had vexatious experience with cold office, and one morning he said to his office boy:
 "Well, this is pretty go. Didn't I tell you to have this room warm when I got down ?''
 "Yes, sir, ;" whimpered Louie.
 "Well, why don't you have it so?"
 CT don't know, sir"
 "Now listen to me. I'll give you an- other trial, and if you don't come up to time and have that thermometer up to seventy degrees, I'll get another boy in your place." and the general pulled down his vest and chucked his cigar stump into the expectoroon. Another morning came and all was lovely; the thermometer stood high, and so did Louie. After a while some one discovered that the thermometer had been tempered with, and Louie was called.
 Said the general: "Do you know of anybody fooling with this machine?"
 "No, sir, don't know of anybody" !" stammered Louis.
 You have always been truthful; now don't go back on your record. Did you feol with it?"
 "Yes, sir, whispered the frightened lad.
 Aha, you didl Well, tell us how. ]"
 Why, you see, sir, you said I was to have it up to seventy degrees or should git. And when seen you comin' this mornin', knew the fire was hot, but I didn't know the blamed thing was where you wanted it :; so I just lit a match and set it under it, and whooped her clear up to the top.'
 The boys cuteness saved him that time, and the general thinks he has a boy in his office fully as valuable as his $6OO dog.
