THE MIGRATION OF BIRDS.

Whiteheld's Eloquence.

The effect which imprisoned eloquence
produces is illustrated by the following
anecdote:
When Whiteield preached in New
York to the sailors, he closed with the
following bold apostrophe:

and are making fine Roadway over a
smooth sea. before Il light breeze, and
we shall soon lose sight of land. But

Of the store, and of what is in it, than de
acription can do. The store covers . II
acres; basement is under and galleries

somewhere about 5 acres Of room.
This particular business is 4 years Old;
it began IN 1876 with clothing; in 1877
itbecamc a general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets, up
hoIstcry, furniture, and Kitchen furnishing

not an inch Of room to spare anywhere.

The aesthetic Value of the Sense Of Smell.

1t is curious fact, which believe has
never before been noticed, that news
papers and books differ in smell almost a.
widely as they do in style and contents.
The New York Tribune. Times. Herald.
World and Graphic can be readily known
in this way after first trial, even by an
ordinary nose. And those who are fond
of paradoxes may reflect that many news
papers that are not in good odor are
nevertheless quite fragrant. A little
practice will enable a person to go to his
library in the dark and pick out certain
book from multitude of others on the
same shelf From practical point of
view. this is not Il trifling matter. 1t is
also comparatively easy to distinguish
English and French from German books
and newspapers. Printers may know
why some books are remarkably fragrant
as. for instance, among those on my table
the 1864 edition of Gray's Structural and
Systematic Botany; and | never neglect
to have a sniff at the Fortnight Review
before dipping into its interesting con-
tents That the manifold associations
which in course of time come to be con-
nected with such literary odors give them
a certain emotional or aesthetic value is
self-cvid ent.

THEY ALL KNOW.

Once in a lifetime you meet a man who
will admit that he doesn't know all about
a horse, but he may come around next
day and claim to have been temporarily
insane when he made the admission. AS
a rule. every man knows exactly what
ails the horse, whether anything ails him
or not. and can point out a dozen in
stances where Nature could have i'm

Yesterday, horse which had been

Then the cashier of bank halted and

Some men might buy him for twelve,
but they couldn't fool me. That horst
will never see sixteen again.

a month older. The mail carrier felt OF

Perhaps one reason for his avoidance
of women was his fear of falling in love-
In those days when man entered the
Conference it was an understood thing
that he would not marry for four years..
and even after that time had elapsed, if
any Of the older ones caught the young
brethren paying attentions to women
they reported it to the Conference, and

An Incfpient Fire.

An alarm of fire shortly after o'clock,
last evening, for the first time since the 9th
of May, called out the fire department. The
cause of the alarm was an incipient fire in O
back room of the store occupied by Messrs.
Finkelstein & Cohen, in the Alvah Smith
block, on lower Seventh street, opposite
Knauft's block. The fire originated in the
back room used for vanishing furniture and
filling mattresses. 1t is supposed that the
fire was caused by spontaneous combustion.
The smoke gave the first intimation of the
fire, AMI it was put out with buckets, without
Inc aid of the department, (which was prompt
~ on hand. The damage was very slight,
and is covered by insurance with companies
represented by Messrs. Miller and Marvin.
It was extremely fortunate that the fire was
discovered before it got under Roadway, as
the building was filed with infammabie ma
terial, and the building would have been de-
Htroyed, even if the fire did not extend to
the adjoining buildings.

The last tribute of earthly respect to the
victims of last Mondays calamity was Low
ingly paid yesterday afternoon in the funeral
of little Katie Cline, and henceforth the ap
palling accident at White Bear lake should

repetition of risks to which the accident was
directly attributable. AS stated in Yesterdays

of the victims, were recovered on Thursday
and removed to the residence of her parents
in this city.
The funeral took place from her late home

Koch was at play on Sixth street near the juno
ton of Seventh street when he was knocked
down and almost run over by milk cart.
The milk wagon was driven by young man
named Louis Till, and was proceeding slowly
along Sixth street. The lad was playing in the
middle of the street, and without noticing the
approach of the wagon he dashed directly
under the heels of the horse. The horse stepped
on the lads head and brushed him to one side.
He was picked ND bleeding profusely, and
carried to the residence of his parents, where
he soon recovered sensibility. DIR. Stamm ex-
amined the injuries and pronounced them not
serious. The driver of the wagon is exonerated
from all blame
