ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 15.-Reporfs of
the phenomenal season of billiards con-

badly by the tempest of the wind, and

Nebraska railway state that for miles
the telegraph poles are entirely con-

sixty feet banks, is filled to the
brim with snow. Water tanks
are buried out of sight. In
many places families are punched to-

houses for fuel.
A dispatch from Montevideo, Mimi,
says the storm was the sIverest ever ex-

"Nice Weather For Pic Nics."

Another African Hunter.

One of the most remarkable African
hunters VINO ever lived to return from the
wllds of that continent, has just published
an account Of his travels. The ordinary
African traveller of literature kills lions,
tigers and elephants without number. his
''trusty rifle never misses fire at tie criti-
cal movement and The ''cowardly natives"
always run off, leaving him in a plight
from which he rescues himself only by the
greatest address and skill. But this ex-
cepitonal man, DR.. Holub, was no such
fellow. He couldn't even hit baboon at
short range. His second shot at monkey
went into his own hand, grazed his temple
and tumbled him out of the wagon. A
herd Of horned horses came near running
over HIM; in chasing some antelopes he got
caught in thorn bush and nearly tore
himself to pieces; he came near shooting
his own dog while in ambush for byenas
on a moonlight night; thought he Int gnu
plump in tho head as 1t was drinking by
night, but could never find trace OF the
beakt; wandered off with his gun, got lost
and sunstruck, and was saved by a savage;
tumbled into stream trying to land a
threc-pound fish. end panic seizlng him
when on watch for lions, he and 8 r
want scrambled quickly into tree, where
they roosted till sunrise. He was about
three years learning the use Of the rifle,
and seven years practice did not make HIM
dead shot. But he evidently learned TO
tell tho truth, which Is more than African
hunting ever did for a sportsman before.

jocular debate was carried to the door
when he was leaving for tho office. His
wife stepped out and cried after him as
he reached the sidewalk "Well, 1 shall
insist upon your marrying me in tho

Couldn't think Of such thing, my
dear," responded the heartless man, but
toning his coat and striding away. When
he returned at noon for lunch the partner
of his poverty was in the lowest stage Of
depression. and ready to weep on the
slightest inducement.
"What's the matter dovey?" cooed
the moulder of public opinion.

WHO Should bow EIfst?

Who should bow first? Some authori-
ties insist that a gentleman should not
bow to n lady until she bows to him !;
the author of the "Americnn Code of
Manners" says that this is all wrong :
GA gentleman should always bow first
to lady, no matter whether she returns
it or not; if ho sees by her face that
she does not wish to return it hc can
refrain from bowing the next time /"
This is on the ground that ga lady, par
ticularly m elderly one or q society
leader, perhaps, has 80 many acquaint-
ances that she does not remember all
the young men who have been present
cd" This, however, does not seem to
settle the question conclusivcly, for it
may be that the young man has quite as
many acquaintances rs the lady, even if
IN elderly one. He may himself, too,
very likely be society lender in fact,
q very large number of the leaders of
society Mt tho present time are of what
would have bcon considered fifty years
ago.a comparatively immature ago. Our
own opinion is, and it has been arrived
at after long reflection, that both per-
sons should bow simultaneously per-
haps in the case of very near-sightcd
persons little latitude might be given,
providing the fact of myopia can be
clearly proved by medical evidence.
There is, however, always danger in
these exceptions to social rules, and
therefore it may be safer for nenr-sight-
cd persona to bow in all cases of doubt,
accustoming themselves to do this with
uniform courtesy whether they are
themselves recognized or not.

1t did.

A bar tender always takes the opposite
view of everything. The other day Mr..
Gallagher was in Court street saloon
and tipped his chair back and went over
and jammed his head into cuspador
and was considerably hurt. The
incident annoyed him, and the r-tonder
told him he hadn't ought to swear.
Gallagher said that under the influence
of sudden pain five men out Of six would
swear. The bar tender would not be-
ieve it, and the result was bet. Then,
for the test, Gallagher got mn ordinary
brick and heated it fearfully hot and
placed it on the marble bar. Now q
brick doesn't show heat, and therefore it
WAS not surprising that when Mr.. Cuff
came in and saw the brick on the bar he
should pick it up. He, however, showed
no disposition to put it in his pocket, or
do anything else with it he Immediately
laid it down and made frantic gestures
and said number of wicked things
Theh in came q butcher, who also picked
up the brick and laid it down. He
looked around savagely and, after freeing
his mind of some unholy sentiments,
said he shouldn't see anybody laugh, as
he preferred not to be under tho neces-
sity of doing murder. The next victim
was Chinaman, and ho spoke every
word of English he knew, and two thirds
of what he remarked would be improper
in Sunday school. He joined Mr.. Cuff
and tho butcher in, sucking his fingers
and watching for the next man, Ho
came in the form of q prominent poll
tician, and rs he placed tho brick upon
the bar, his language sounded like after
election talk. The bartender began to
bo nervous, but the next man merely
pranced about and wildly waved his
hands without saying n word. 1t ap-
pcared that he was dumb man. So
the next man would decide the bet. He
was q young man from the lumber dis
tricts of Maine, and didn't look like a
talkative chap. But when he got hold
of that brick his jaw seemed to become
loose, and the way ho blasphemed even
shocked q parrot, and the butcher said
he'd give seventy-five dollars if he could
talk like that Gallagher had won. He
rose UP and explained the affair. The
six, headed by the young man from
Maine, started for him as one man.
They pulled him all over the place.
They brushed the ceiling with him, used
him for football, threw him down the
cellar, tore his clothes off and made him
drink water. They sny they wanted to
see if it would make him swear. It did.

who is She n

A correspondent says on the way back
from the Catholic missions we stopped
at ranch on the banks of the San An
tonic, and right in the midst of these
ruined Spanish cathedrals and irrigating
canals. Around the ranch were green
fields of corn breast high, some dogs
good enough for the Westohester dog
show, and the handsomest horses I ever
saw. The proprietor came out dressed
|, i'll baggy brown linen pantaloons, bed
ticking suspenders and Yankee chip

tall, muscular, o manly brow, features
fit for model and rich, full voice,
which spoke pure English. I thought

That irrigating ditch, and I've drawn I'll

spread it on the land too. Look, my
hands are all callous."
"What are you using manure on this
rioh land here for I asked.
"Well, the old Spaniards exhausted
it. It looks black and rich, but the life
is all out of it. want to set out field
of tobacco. Tobacco, you know, takes
good soil. I've raised tobacco i'll Con-
necticut, and believe I can demonstrate

the way behind the house.
'"They are the finest in Texas" said
my friend. '"Ehat mare can go in 2:2O,
and either of these stations is worth
$8, 5000"
"But who is the handsome hermit ?"
I asked, "whose shirt is wet with honest
sweat, who tolls for an idea, and who
has 50, 600 horses?"
'"That," said he, sis the Rev. Adiron-
dack Murray. introduced him as Muir
ray didn'tI?"
"But what is the eloquent Boston
pastor, and the author of. the charming
book of summer travels in the Adiron-
dnck, doing here? What's the secret :?

Hsthctic Cookery

An ETHEREAL lady has opened school
of "esthetic" cooking i'll Chicago, and
although NIL the names of tho dishes are
in French it needs no interpreter to get
q general idea of the aesthetic hash
that the lady is dishing up. One of the
most satisfying and substantial articles
on tho bill of fare is fried grape leaf,
garnished with two carroway seeds, one
Of which is to be eaten and the other
left for manners. There is no doubt that
fried grape leaf is very filling, and if
tho gormandizer should be left to in
dulge his appetite unrestrained, his
sense of taste might overcome his diges-
tive powers md waddle from the table
with three, or even four, fried grape
leaves slowed away in his stomach, and
seek the first opportunity to loosen his
waistcoat This, however, has been
provided against by tho preparation of
lighter dishes, which tend to dilute the
grape leaf, and tighten the task of the
gastric juice in it's work of assimilation.
There is "brunoise soup" which is
made by confining the brunoise in tin
kettle, and placing it near M open door
When soup is called for tho window is
raised, q draft is thereby established be-
tween the door and tho window, and by
sitting in this draft tho aesthetic person
takes his soup. If too rich, the atmos-
phcrc of the room should be heated md
thus rarifed. still lighter dish is
vacuum waflles--glass balls from which
the mir has been exhausted. The ball
is broken by n sharp tap of the dinner
knife, and the inside eaten with spoon,
MS dessert. Hsthetic cooking, while it
is highly relished by skeletons, and re-
garded rs splendid thing to set out to
n tramp, is hardly nutritious enough for
harvest hand or man working in a
rolling mill.

PARTED.

Can believe, what yet mine eyes have seen,
That we are parted who were once 30 near7
That far behind us lie the meadows green,
Where we no more may greet the early year,
And praise the dewy crocus buds, while yet
More happy in each other than In Sprlng9
II I remember, how should you forget,
And leave me lonely In my wandering7
Can believe, what yet mlne ears have heard,
That severed is our sweet companionship7
An autumn wind among the woodlands stirred
And blew your kisses from my grleving1 lip;
Time stopped between us and unclasped our
hands
That reach In vain across the widening days;
Life met our wis,ful looks with stern commands,
And led us coldly down divided ways.
Can believe, what yot my heart has felt,
That never more our paths will be the same?
That even now your joyous musings melt
TO tenderor longing at u dearer name?
Then say farewell, since that must be the word
In lifos strange journey may yct rejoice,
But still through all It's voices will be heard
The lingering echo of your vanished voice.

Cure for Sea-Siclsness,

AS call the world and his wife" seem
to be going to Europe this summer, sea-
sickness and its cure is ono of the most
general if not the most popular topic
for talk. Three New York doctors were
recently interviewed upon the subject.
One said there is only one remedy for it
to stay ashore. But he subsequently
admitted that that is not a complete
remedy, for he added that land-sickncss,
caused by riding backward and in rail
way cars, is the same as sea-siclsness.
But another doctor says that within "
year there is no disease about which SO
much has been learned, md which is 80
perfectly durable. 1t is disease of the
nervous system, mainly of the brain and
spinal cord, comes from II series of mild
conclusions, and produces, by sympathy,
disorder of the stomach. The remedy
is bromide of sodium, taken three times
IL day few days before embarling, and
kept up at sea until the danger is passed.
It renders the system less susceptible to
the disturbances caused by the move
ments of the ship The drug must be
taken intelligently and Oh consultation
with Il physician. DR.. Hammond says
that i'll his own case he has found ten or
fifteen drops of chloroform Oh lump
sugar and the use of bromide of potas-
sium beneficial. All three doctors
agreed that there is no benefit to be de-
rived from sea-siclness except for those
who arc i'll the habit of eating too much.
And if people are i" the better for it," it
is because the sea makes them better in
spite of sea sickness. "No more benefit
can be derived from it than from all
attack of typhoid fever" says DR.. Beard.
If, therefore, it can be prevented with
out causing any other or any greater
harm to the system, people arc entitled
to the full benefit of remedies that are
really such.
