Air Your Beds.

BE sure to let the fresh air, and, If
possible the sun have free access to It an
hour or more before making mp, Have
the sheet long enough to turn under the
mattress ut the foot the lower one the
same ut the head, but fold the upper
sheet well over the bedding This will
save the quilts from becoming soled by
the slecper's breath. When II bed has
been occupied all winter, everything
about It should be washed In the spring.
To wash n fcather-liCk, choose fair wealth
crso that you eau dry 1t out-doOr Crowd
the feathers into one end of the tick and
tie firmly I'm the centre. Wash the emp
ty end and when dry shake the feathers
into that, tic again and wash the other
half. Con-husk beds are much nicer
than straw, ms they nre not so dusty, and
with the addition of n few fresh husks
from time TO time, will last for years.
They may be frcshcncd by turning the
husks ont In the suu and mir for day or
two and sitting ont the fine otull, In
winter never keep sheets on bed that
Is seldom used. They will gather damp
ness aud render themselves very uncom-
Portable, perhaps fatal, TO your guest.
Make up the bed without the sheets aud
add them when needed.

tograph of the Polar negborhood, shall

Once safely landed in the Cars domin-
ions, an easy journey would bring the
voyagcrs to st. Petersburg. 1t is a dar-
ing project full of perils and promises of
hardship. All balloon experiments
prove that it is impossible to estimate
the undetermined currents that circu-
late above the earth; and even if the
daring aerial navigators should escape
freezing to death in the air, the chances
would be slight of Of their escaping alive
from the mysterious region to tell what
they saw. But scamcn are NOT men who
quail before perils, hardships or mystc-
ries. and dangerous as Commander
Cheyne's project is, it need not surprise
us to see it attempted at no distant day,

A "Bar" Story.
Mr.. Editor g:

JuI. EuttOI
Mr.. VIM. w. Adams, of Big Stone
Gap. caught II bear in steel-tlap last
Saturday night on Stone Mountain,
about one and half miles from the
Gap. There is bear trail in this region
OF country; it is thought from the trail
that there are four bears in the lot out of
which this one was caught. The one
caught was u yearling, weighed 81 lbs,
and fat as they get at that age.
Mr.. Adams has three traps setting,
aud will likely catch another one. viii
not some man give him bid on the hide
of the one caught, and also bid ON
the ones not yet caught. thiak if he
can get good bid on the hides he will
spend n months time or have the other
three. Ig j. b. Il. MILLS.

A Coquette's Plea.

BY o. A. NJ.
Would you ask me why ilirt,
I'll tell You the reason why:
Were it not for my flirting
! would slowly droop and die.
Some may say, "it is not right
To break n dear lovers heart;"
But what is all that to me
If only play my part?
| am sure Pm not alone
In my innocence and mirth,
For all nature seems to iilt
The gay, lovely scenes of earth.
The mild sunbeams doth allure
The flowers, in color, red;
Their bloom in lovely summer
Soon all by frost to be shed.
And they, then even themselves,
To nod in coquettish glee
TO every gentle zephyr
That is waited o'er the lea.
Then you need not censure me
For | know that | am right;
I'd flirt with dear old grandpa
When no other VOWS to plight.
| wouldn't give up my flirting
For all the gay boys know;
Nor would | ere pledge my hand
TO any chiyalrous beau.
I'll not forsake this pleasure
No difference who he be,
III ne'er bow to any man
And live meek Niobc.
They say | will soon grow old
And old maiden's course pursue,
But paints, and curls, and cunning
Will then come to my rescue.
Well. what If l do grow old?
For II care not Il pin,
I'll play off a "swcet sixteen"
And take some old bach Tor in.
Yet, if in all this fail
A great consolaliOn-dear,
I'll have, to know in old age
OF bliss, have had my share.
will then live at my ease,
Remembering Tilted beauX;
I'll have no rough cur to please
But spend my time knitting hose.
Oh howl then ye gallant beauN,
If my beauly's made you mad.
care not for joy or woes
But for pleasures | have had.

The most violent gale recorded by him
was at East st. Louis, in 1861. when the
Wlhd overturned Il locomotive, the force
developed in so doing being no less than
95 pounds per square foot. At st.

paessllre required being ST pounds per

necessary being 5S pounds per square

sures, Mr.. Smith instances numerous
cases of trains blown Off rails, and
bridges, etc., blown down by gales of

taken as the maximum power Of the

been higher.
Enthusiasts who have made special
study Of sunspots and attendant nhe-
nomena believe that the cornerstone of
a new science is being laid by discover
les pointing to an intimate connection
between solar and terrestrial mcteorolo-
gy. just what the connection is they
are not yet able to clearly define, al
though electricity is suspected Of being
the agent through which the effects are
manifested upon our planet. 1t is known
that the gaseous envelope of the sun is
effected by eruptions Of such prodigious
magnitude as to be utterly beyond our
power of conception, these disturbances
appearing to us in the form of rapidly
changing spots and protuberances. The

claims coincidence Of the periods of
maximum spots and years Of great at
mospherlc and physical disturbance in
the earth. The present has been year
Of great solar disturbances, while it has
been marked by violent storms and
earthquakes upon our globe. Further
than this, these scientists claim to have

the result of corresponding movements

over Buffalo, which met its Waterloo Mt Detroit,
losing two games out of three there. Detroit
has made astonishing progress toward tho top,
