Cheap Living.

For cheap living, the Island of st. Mich
ael, the pearl of the Azores group, is about
the best place In the world. The climate
Is soft and agreeable, the scenery lovely,
and tho people noted for their simplicity
and Kindness. Labor Is very cheap, and
consequently the roads leading from the
town OF St. Michael are Of the finest char
acter. The streets are kept marvelously
clean. Tho island Is about thirty miles
square and picturesque. Ono can buy five
eggs Tor two cents, a chicken for twelve
and a-half cents, beef for three cents a
pound. and hire good house for ~ u
month. You can live well for $500 year :;
and handsomely of 500, aud live In superb
style, keeping carriage and horses for 3d.
ooO. The gardens arc beautiful features Of
the island. In one garden there are 4 600
plants OF different varieties. Tho land is
owned ny few rich people, and rcnts very
nigh. a quarter Of an acre brings $l5 a
year: The peasants or laboring people 20
Darefooted, and live very economically.
froDaDiy $lO0 year supports small

changed within hundred years, and this
applies TO the best society. Tho women

this country wear. The head covering is
called "capilla," and ls like one of the

Is attached some way to the copake. A

ceals her face with the capllla. The native
people recognize their friends by their feet.

Concerning Cyolonee.

Every one should know what a cyclone
ID, but the general ideas Of the subject arc
rather vague. Take small butter Dot
and set 1t down on your largest map of the
world at about 20 degrees North Latitude,
| anywhere in the Atlantic between two
| continents, say east Of the West Indies.
Then, with piece Of whalcbone twice as
long as from the butter-po to the North
Pole, bent Into parabola, with one end at
the Pole, the other at tho butterpot, ma X
out thus the cyclone. The apex of the
bent whalebone will be somewhere ia tho
Western United States. Imagine your
butter-pot to be revolving In its own centre
IN the direction on the hands Of watch,
at the rate of hundred miles an hour. It's
northwestern edge will be the dangerous
storm-rim, blowing hurricane, lashng the
seas, and precipitating the rain; the other
edges will be br eezy, but not so stormy,
aS They contain less moist air. The centre
will be the low barometer and calm area,
because here the air has less weight and Is
lowing upward. Now move your butter.

ing 1t to be turning. by the time you

supposed conditions, only by this time, if

OF the rain. Keep 1t moving crcuiarly
and northwards also along the parabola

fast-platc, and In Greenland to dinner
plate, and about the 8Oth degree North.
before the storm reaches the size Of bug
gy' wheel, it breaks up. Thus you see
the space over which the storms travel
enlarges as it passes North, the winds blow
around its rim, and the enlmpcntrc RI ,novns
with it. Mariners now carry what is called
horn card, transparent piece Of flat cows
horn, with circle on it, inside which arc
several smaller circles, with arrows point
ing as a watch's hands travel. Whenever
the barometer changes, and clouds scud by,
this horn-card Is placed on the chart at the
ships position. knowing the winds direc-
ton and the weight of the air, the horn
cards tells whereabouts In the cyclone the
ship Is, and from this is reasoned how to
sail to avoid the cyclone; or, If unavoida-
Die, how to manage in 1t. Not many de-
cadcs ago, ships were driven thousands of
miles from their course by not having mas
GERS possessed of this knowledge. Now
adays, meteorological information is as
necessary To tho navigator as his scxtant.
In South l.atitudcs storms pass in the same
way toward the South Pole, by way of
western bend, only the circular motion is
reversed, and the southwestern is the
stormy edge.

Uses of Waste Paper.

A writer says that few housckccpers are
aware OF tho many uses to which waste pa
per may be put. After Il stove has been
blaekcd, 1t can be kept looking well for q
long time by rubbing 1t with paper every
morning. Rubbing it with paper Is much
nicer way of keeping the outside of n tea
kettle clean than the old way of washing it
in suds. Rubbing them with paper is also
the best way of polishing knives and tin
ware after securing them. If little soap
be held on the paper in rubbing tin ware
anG spoons, they shine like new silver.
For polishing mirrors, windows, lamp
chimncys, etc., paper is better than dry
cloth. observes Sad pickles keep much
better If brown paper instead of cloth is
tied over the jar. Canned fruit Is not apt
to mould If piece of writing paper cut to
fit each can, is laid directly upon the fruit.
Paper Is much better to put under carpets
than straw. 1t is thinner, warmer and
makes less noise when one walks over It,.
Two thicknesses OF paper placed between
the other coverings on led arc as warm
as a quilt. If 1t is necessary to step upon
chair, always lay paper upon It, and
and thus savo the paint and wood. work
from damage.

1t was nearly year ago when Lcadville
was first showing what was In her. There
were several newly made bonanza kings
about Denver then, and among them was a
man who had probably never had 800 in
his pocket at one time previous to his strike.
10 him the possession of watch was tho
natural evidence Of Il competence, and as
nc made more than competence, he felt
that the fact should be indicated by tho
purchase of several watches. These he
had deposited in Grand Central hotel safc.
One night he came into tho office very
much the worse for liquor, lurched to the
bar and hic ooughed out TO the clerk,
"Gimmc watch.'

hands, but endcavering to thrust 1t into his
