Sunbeams from Cucumbers.
Pioneer Press Sept. 30.1

Though some of the results of the re.
cent state convention, and more espe-
cially the means by which they were
brought about, are far from satisfactory
to the friends of honest government and
of pure and Independent judiciary, its
general outcome, considering the circum-
stances under which it assembled, is after
striking the balance between the evil ac-
complished and the evil threatened but
averted, substantial triumph for the
opponents of Gen. Hubbard, and more
especially for Gov. Pilisbury.

When a Michigan avenue can

seven men, two women. a~boy and

There was a deep silence for a
moment. Then the seventh man
rose up, removed his overcoat and
mittens, and said:
When / left home my Their
mometer stood at five below, and
1t hasn't grown a bit colder since.
Now, then, / want to find out
whether my thermometer lies or

From the Chicago Tribune.

But papa"
"Not another word. I'm a wild
cat when my backs up and don't
you forget it,
The speaker was hard-visaged
man, dressed with an elegance that
ill-accorded with his evident want
of culture. She who had addressed
him as papa" was a fair-haired
girl of eighteen summers, Reared
on the knee of luxury, she had
never known what it was to have
her slightest wish thwarted. Her
father, a plumber, was, from the
nature Of his business, a man of
iron will, but he was not devoid of
generosity, as many a debtor
whose house and lot he had taken
in part payment for fixing the
water pipes, letting the balance of
the account run along for two
months, could testify. He had
surrounded Cecil, his only child,
with all that wealth could pur-
chase, looking forward to the time
when she would marry the eldest
son of a Niagara Falls hackman,
or some person with fortune COM
mensurate with her own. But
she had allowed her heart to be
ensnared by the wiles of Cupid,
and that morning had asked her
sire's consent to a marriage with
a poor but not proud young man
whose agricultural operations on
the Board of Trade had not been
attended with success. 1t was this
request that produced t g answer
given above.
Again Cecil pleaded with her
parent not to crush the love that
blossomed in her heart. The old
mans mind went back to the hap
py days when he had told her
mother of his love, and how they
commenced life with nothing but
strong arms and willing hearts.
Placing his fan-like hand on Cecil's
shoulder. the old man looked st
her tenderly and said: "Look ye,
my lass. You say you love this
man and cannot live without him.
Mebbe not. / have promised you
a sealskin sacGue this winter. Let
us test your love. If you become
this mans bride shall not buy the
sscque. In my hand is check for
$500. In the wheat pit over on
the Board of Trade is your lover,
which do you choose
Without raising her head she
reached out convulsively for the
check.

ment, instead of being truly scien-
tific, was as arbitrary as tbs divi-
sion Of the Bible into verses and
chapters, and that these two points
no more represented the real ex-
tremes of temperature than from
Dan TO Beersheeba" expressed the
exact extremes of Palestine.
But Fahrenheit's thermometer
had been widely adopted with its
inconveDient scale; and none
thought of any better until his
name became an authority, for
Fahrenheit finally abandoned
trade and gave himself up to
science.
The three countries which use
Fahrenheit are England, Holland
and America. Russia and Ger
many use Reaumer's thermome-
ter, in which the boiling point is
counted 80 degrees above the
freezing point. France es the
centigaade thermometer, so called
because ii marks the boiling point
100 q grees from freezing point.
On many accounts the centigrade
system is the best, and the tri-
umph Of convenience will be at
tanned when zero IS made the
freezing point, and when the boil
ing point is put los or 1000 de-
grees from it, and all the SUBJ
divisions are fixed decimally.
If Fahrenheit had done this at
first, or even if he had made it
one of his many Improvement
after the public adopted his error,
the luck of opportunity, which
was really his, would have secured
to his invention the patronage of
the world.

A surgeon in the German army
calls the attention of all who have
to do with horses to the danger of
using the pocket-handkerchief to
wipe away any foam from the
mouth or nose of a horse which
may have been thrown upon their
clothes. Some months ago, the
writer states. an officer came to
him, suffering from an obstinate
cold and cough. The usual reme-
dies were prescribed, but in vain;
visit to the baths at Reichenhall
also did the patient no good. Re-
turning to dnty, the officer became
worse; fever, attended with great
pain and swelling of the head, set
in, and, finally, after much suffer
ing, he died with every symptom
of CHAMBERS. Inquiries were set
on foot, and it was found that
some time before he was taken i'll
he ordered horse, which he be-
lieved was suffering from gland
ers, to be shot. Neither the groom
nor any of the soldiers who had
been near the horse have been at
tackled by CHAMBERS, consequently
it is suspected that the officer who
died may have conveyed the di-
sease into bis system by perhaps
using his handkerchief to wipe
some of the foam from the mouth
or nose of the horse from his uni
