Phenomena on the Gulf Coast.

Our quiet seaside resort was thrown
into state of unusual excitement this
evening by the appearance of several
waterspouts. The day had been unusu-
ally warm and sultry, the thermometer
rising to 95'. AT P, M. dark cloud
was driven over the town by wind
from the north. This cloud was mar
shalled in dense dark ranks, between
which played bright flashes of lightning
When the front rank had passed over
the water to distance of several miles
in front of the Pass, there was seen a
dark column extending from the cloud
to the water. The top of this column
was connected with the lower surface of
the cloud, and was shaped like the larger
end OF funnel. The cloud seemed to
be emptying itself into this funnel. At
first the density of the cloud was about
equal atrall points, but after seeming to
pour into the funnel for come time the
section neaIest- the. .column. became light
and almost disappeared. The main
body Of the column was dark andround.
At the bottom it widened into form
somewhat resembling the top, except
that itwas larger and lighter, 'present-
ing the appearance of spray thrown out
of fountain. In few minutes other
columns were formed, until there had
been at least five within a,short distances
of each other. Some of these, resem-
bled the frst,, while others were much
smaller and were without an visible en-
largement at the bottom. AS the cloud
moved they all changed their form and
position. The alargesG at one time was
so broken thatit presented the form Of
a log broken in such manner as to,
have lost the central portion Of the end,
SO that only lerge prong hung down
on either side through this long
shaped figure there seemed to pour n
stream OF water, which, VI pon nearing
the lake, was broken into a mass Of
spray. All Of these columns seemed TO
be formed by the meeting in mid-air Of
the descending column of cloud and the
ascending coIumn Of water. The
forces which set them in motion are
supposed to have been heat, wind and
electricity. Some who observed them
thought they could discover a rotary
motion. To some the water seemed to-
ascend, while to. others tappeared to
descend. We were. permitted too enjoy
the scene for, about halt an hour, when
the cloud and its tswaterIspouts changed
into heavy shower Of rain. The ther-
mometer fell to 7So, and the weather.
continued cool during the entire night.

Poultry Raising.

The improved breeds of poultry have
made poultry raising profitable on the
farm, the increased number of good
layers have increased our supply of eggs
from basketfuls to car loads, and the
large breeds of chickens, ducks, geese
and turkeys furnish IN important sup
ply of meat sold on the farm. Notwith-
standing the opposition made ten years
ago to the improved breeds of poultry,
the profitable feature has overcome the
prejudice, and the improved breeds are
the rule rather than the exception on
most Of our Western farms. The poul
try interest has so greatly increased in
Importance with the increase of profits,
that more attention is given in supply
ing good poultry houses and giving them
proper attention. Look well now to the
young things, keep them we'll protected
from vermin; clean quarters, clean water
and plenty Of clean feed.
When cleaning the perches in the
poultry house, it is necessary to apply
the mixture of kerosene oil and greese
to the under side as we'll as to the top.
This is often neglected and the lice
gather there.
1t is very desirable in raising chickens
for market to have some Of them come
early, as the difference in price realized
for the early ones will pay for the extra
trouble.
If there is one error more apparent
than another it is that Of allowing too
many fowls to run and roost together.

PICTURE or SPANISH PRIECEss.-
OF King Alfonzo's sister, the Princess of
Asturias, who was at a French watering
place, the London Truth says: "She
did not care how shabbily she was
dressed, was brisk, self.hopeful, and at
the railroad station carried, from the
sociable in which the Comte De Paris
drove her, heavy portmanteau to q
frst-class saloon carriage. There were
many attendants around her, but she
seemed to think them in the way. In
her movements the Princess of Asturias
is a little brusque. Her habits are act
i've, her character is energetic, and if
she could get hold of the Carlists she
would hand them over to military tri-
bu1aIs bound to pass capital sentences.
The Princess has worn and anxious
face. The effect is startling, Of her
strong voice proceeding from her slight,
WIrY frame. Her conversation is lively
and erraJic, and she speaks English and
German fairly. 1t is a good thing for
spain that Don Alfonza loves the young
Queen too well TO remain under the
tutelage Of his sister. The Princess of
Asturias is upright, hates argument, is
attached to the church, and in most
things a hard and fast tory. Madrid
has become unpleasant to her since the
Kings second marriage, and she wants
to obtain German husband to have an
excuse for quitting it for good"

THE HOUSE THAT RUM
BUILT

The Almshouse This is the
house that rum built.
The Drunkard: This is the
beast that lives in the house that
rum built.
Intoxicating Drink: This is the
serpent in fowery guise, with art
ful tongue and dazzling eyes, that
Yields the chain that binds the
beast that lives in the house that
rum built.
The Grogshop: This is the mon
ster who holds the rein over the
serpent who Yields the chain that
binds the beast in cruel pain that
lives in the house that rum built.
The Beer Saloons: These are
the demons Of the land, who hold
the monster at their command,
and to the serpent they do say,
together we will take our way,
and weld the chain so strongly
now, that every beast to US shall
bow, and dwell in the house that
rum built.
Temperance: This is the star
Of promise bright, to stop the de-
mons in their delight, to scare the
monster in his career, and to the
serpent lend fear, that he no
more may weld the chain that
binds the beast in his artful train,
who lives in the house that rum
built.
Reformers: These are the SOL
diers who take the field with the
star of promise for their shield /;
they go together hand in hand, to
hunt the demons who haunt the
land l.; they'll break in two the
welded chain, and set the captive
free again, who lives in the house
that rum built.

FOOL FRIENDS.

He always know where your
party IS losing, and the other is
making large gains.
He always tell you Of the good

He implicitly believes every
story against you, and kindly sus-
poets your defence.
A fool friend is always full of a

He is frightfully anxious that

Of his party and the virtues Of the c

He generally shows his candor
by scratching his ticket.
He always searches every nook

In the moment Of victory he is
magnanimously on the other side
In defeat he consoles you by re.

FREAKS OF FASHION.

Polka-dotted hose will be worn
on polka-dotted shins.
"Coral des Indies" is the new

Linen collars and cuffs are nei

Shaded spots are seen on some
Of the new goods-especially on
the editors suit.
The new and expensive 'peas

when the bills come in.
Sulphur-cclored satin is very
popular for evening wear. Match
making is in progress if the lap

Putty-colored lady's cloth is
much used for walking costumes
but it is more appropriate for gla'
ziers' girls.
Monks hoods are seen on many
of the fashionable street dresses
They should be worn only by the
lady who affects scowls.
Sweet sandal slippers are made
of light shades of kid for little
