A Strange Cloud Of Vapor.

About q month ago a remarkable phe-
nomenon was observed near the village
of San Jose Papalvapam, Vera Cruz,
Mexico. Two days after violent thun-
derstorm and incessant raining, what
seemed to be an immense cloud rising
out of the ground was observed. Little
attention was paid to the phenomenon,
as many of the peasants interpreted it
to be the smoke of large quantities Of
wood that were burned into chorcoal.
An Indian, going to his maize field, sit
uated on a hill, discovered that the va
por issued out of his field. His attempt
to approach the column was thwarted
by the extreme heat of the vapor. The
extension of the column was some thirty
square yards, and the vapor issued at
intervals of five minutes. The smoke
was so dense that the eye could not see
the trees on the other side of the col
umn. The maize field was completely
burned, and as the vapor came out on
other spots covered with trees, the
leaves were burned and the trunks be-
came black. The vapor column pro-
ceeded in the direction from east to
west, between the volcano of Tuxtla
and that of Orizaba. The phenomenon
lasted nearly seven days, and is inter
preted as an underground fire commu-
nicating with the volcanoes of Orizaba
and that of Tuxtla.

Partisan FOrtune.tellerS.

The fortune-tellers and others of that
class who grow rich on human credulity
in Paris are to be driven out. The Pre-
feet of Police has so decided, but the
task will be very difficult, as they have
considerable influence. There is not q
street in Paris that does not have car
tomancienne or somnambulist, or for
tune-teller of some kind. These fortune
tellers are of all kinds and characters.
At Montague there is an old NEGRO
mancer who used to be one of the orna-
ments in high society, when she had
horses and carriages and servants, and
princes kissed her finger-tips and called
her CAere Marquise. Others combine
the profession of fortune-telling with
that of scouts for thieving companies.
They worm out secrets of the coniding
that will at some time be of use to their
accomplices. Rich and poor consult
them, the poor working girl and the
queens of society sit on the same chair:
ask the same questions and receive the
same response; it is only the price thai
varies.

"A writer says that he has never

Professor Knapp, of Iowa, is cred
tied with having instituted series of
experiments with soft woods for fence
posts, the preserving element being hot
gas. or. coal tar. Up to date. bass wood,
willow. cottonwood, ETC., show as du-
rable results as oak. The tar was ap-
piled boiling hot, the posts being al
lowed to remain in the mixture some
fifteen minutes, and then dried for q
month in the sun. Green wood seemed
to take up the tar best. and examine
ton found the penetration of the tar
had been from one-half to three-fourths
of an inch in many cases. The cost of
thus coating $50 posts will be about one
dollar, the cost of a barrel of tar, besides
the labor. If the experiment is conclu-
sive it goes far toward answering the
question of posts, for all farms have got
abundant material in beech, Eastwood,
willow, ETC., for posts, and the expense
of coating them with tar is mere trifle
compared with the purchasing of cedar
for that purpose.

AhC 0AO ASSAoh'
All the United States east of the plains
are mainly agricultural; consequently
the manners and customs of the two
districts are. and must always be. very
different. To learn the ways of the
country, to outgrow the " tenderfoot"
stage of existence, is a gradual and
sometimes trying process. A man
coming to the far West with the inten-
ton of making it his permanent home
would do well to come in the fall, if
possible-for, though it is not good
time for a workingman to find occupa-
ton, it is usually possible to find chances
to work about some stock-ranch or farm
through the winter either for small
wages or for board, and in this way q
man grows well accustomed to the WAYS
of the country and acquainted with the
people, and so has the best preparation
for securing profitable situation when
the spring work with the cattle begins.
If in the course of the winter he learns
the elements of plain camp-cookery, he
has a strong string for his bow, for the
easiest way of preparing for more agree
able work is to take place to drive one
of the roundup" wagons and prepare
the simple meals. Work of this kind is
nearly as we'll paid as the work with
the cattle, andit is the easiest stepping
stone to the pleasanter work. The av-
erage American man scOrns the thought
of cooking for wages as a most unmanly
occupation, but in this far Western re-
gion where women are in the small mi
nority it is looked on as most desira-
BILE accomplishment for all men to ac-
quire. l have known Eastern gentle
man of high cultivation to humble them
selves to . roundup cooking in order
to work their way into the business
