A blizzard.

A "blizzard" is described by the Chey-
anne Leader as follows There is no
clearly stated definition of the word
"blizzard," as it is not found in the
dictionaries. It is a purely Western in
vention. Blizzard came out since the
dictionaries were built. But then a biz
zard is an ~unspeakably mean thing. Obi
it is SO mean. No one vel thinks of a
blizzard without apologizing mentally
for touching upon so base a subject.
What the cayote is to the hunter, the
freighter, the cowboy, and the miner,
the blizzard is to the average citizen.
The blizzard ranks about as high in me-
teorology as does the skunk In zoology.
And then a blizzard is the only thing
known to history or science that will
blow thirteen ways at once. 1t describes
acourse precisely like a Scotch plaid.
You turn from a direct line-to the lee
way-of the fierce wind in order to catch
good square breath, and the blizzard is
there too. 1t catches you on the point
of exhalation, Just as your lungs are an
immense vacuum. Your mouth is open,
of course, and the blizzard suddenly
fills you so full of wind that nothing but
a heavy conscience prevents you from
soaring aloft at once like a balloon. You
feel miserable and tighter'n a bass drum.
You want to swear, but you haven't time.
Your only relief is to strain the blizzard
through your fingers.

Jonah in the Whales Belly.

Two hundred years ago DR.. Zachary
Boyd wrote the following quaint descrip-
ton of Jonah in the whales belly. He
was a minister of the barony parish
of Glasgow, and Rector of its Uni
versity:
What house is this, where's neither coal nor candle,
Where nothing but quits of fishes handle?
I and my table are both within,
Where day neer dawned, where sun did never shine.
The like Of this on earth man never saw,
A living man within Q monsters nav,
Buried under mountains which are high and steep,
Plunged under waters hundreds fathoms deep.
Not 30 with Noah, from his house Of tree,
For through q window he . light did see;
He sailed shove the highest waves wonder;
I and M boat are all the waters under;
he, In his arke, might goe, and also come,
But I sit still in such . straitened roome
As IL most uncouthe, head and feet together,
Among such grease as Q thousand smother.
/ ind no way now for my shrinking hence,
But here Ilye, and die for mine ofense,
Eight prisoners were in Noah's hulk together;
Comfortable they were, each one to the other,
In al the earth like unto me Ii none;
Far from al living, I hare I've alone.

Thread from Wood.

The manufacture of thread from wood
for crochet and sewing purposes has, it
is said, been started in Sweden. The
manufacture has arrived at such a state
of perfection that it can produce, at a
much lower price, thread of IS fine
quality as Clark's, and has from this cir
cumstance been called thread ga la
Clark" It is wound in balls by ma
chinery, either by hand or steam, which,
with thelabeling, takes one minute twelve
seconds, and the balls are packed up in
cardboard boxes, generally ten in a box.
Plenty of orders from all parts of Sweden
have come in, but as the works are not
vet in proper order there has hardly
been time to complete them all. The
r, production gives fair promise of success,
and it is expected to be very important
for home consumption. - Scientific

are iustmade public in Pike County, Ind, in a
singular manner. A few years ago a beauti-

Winslow and Augusta, in that county, died very
suddenly OF heart disease, and was buried In
the graveyard near Winslow. A few days ago
the family OF this young lady received an anon

contained, that the body OF Miss Eads had been

True HerOiSm.

An act of distinguished bravery was
performed in one of the principal mines
in the district of Linares, in Spain.
Three miners were engaged in sinking a
shaft, and, after charging the borehole
with dynamite, two of them climbed to
the gallery above, the third, as is GUS
tomary, remaining behind to light the
fuses attached to the charges. Having
done SO, he signaled to his comrades,
and was in the act of being hoisted up
with a windlass and rope when, on near
ing the mouth of the shaft, he by some
accident lost his hold and fell a distance
of fifty feet to the bottom of the shaft,
where he lay stunned and disabled, in
close proximity to the burning fuses. A
chain ladder fortunately communicated
with the bottom of the shaft, and, On OBJ
serving the fall, one of the miners at the
windlass, placing his drawn knife be-
tween his teeth, went down without a
moments hesitation to the rescue of his
injured comrade, and severed the fuses
as they were on the point of igniting the
charges, and thus saving him from an
awful and instantaneous death.

Ye OIden DAYS.

Thirty years ago Michigan people were

could come here and trade horses with
their eyes shut, and breach of promise
cases were unknown. Folks meant what
they said, and when they gave their
word, stuck to it.
Thirty years q q widower from New
York State appeared in Lansing or bust
ness. That same business carried him
over to Dewitt, eight miles away. While
en- route he stopped at a log farm house
to warm his cold fingers. BE was warm
ly welcomed by the pioneer and his wife,
both of whom were well along in years,
and after some general talk, the woman
queried:

"Did you come out here to find a
.wife?'
"Partly."
"Did anybody tell you of Susie?"
'No."
"WeIl, we have got as bouncing a girl
of twenty-five as you aver set eyes on.
She's good-looking, healthy and good
tempered, and I think she'll like your
looks"
"Where is she?"

down a coon tree. Shall I blow the horn
for her?"
mo. If you'll keep an eye on my
horse I'll find her."
"Well, there's nothing stuck up OF
affected about Susie. She'll say yes or
no as soon as she looks you over. If
you want her, don't be afraid to say So"
The stranger heard the sound of her
x andfollowed il. He found her just as
the tree was ready to fall. She was a
stout, good-looking girl, swinging the ak
like a man, and in two minutes he had
decided to say:
"Susie, I'm q widower from New York
State; I'm thirty-nine years old, have
n child, W q good farm, and I want q
wife. VIII you go back home with
me?"
She leaned on the ak and looked at
him for half a minute, and then replied:
"Can't say for certain. Just wait till
I get these coons off my mind"
She sent the tree crashing to the earth,
and with his helpkilled five coons, which
were slowed away in a hollow.
"Well, what do you say?"he asked, as
the last coon stopped kicking.
'Im yournI" was the reply; "and by
the time you get back from Dewitt I'll
have these pelts off and tackled up, and
be ready for the preacher !"
He returned to the house, told the
old folks hat he should bring q preacher
back with him, and at dusk that evening
the twain we're married. Hardly IN houl
had been wasted in counting, and yet he
took home one of the best girls in the

An Affecting Sentence.

Judge K, of Arkansas, had brought
before him a convicted felon to be SEN
fenced. The opportunity to Improve
the occasion was not to be lost; and SO,
after the usual demand for reason why
sentence should not be pronounced, his
Honor slowly, and with genuine feeling,
addressed the prisoner: "My poor fell
low, you are about to 60 to the Peniten-
tiary. You are required to give up, for
a long time, everything which the great
world values-your family, and, instead,
to take for your associates only felons
like yourself; your home, and to take
instead what can never have the SEM
blance of a home; your will, and SO to
be subject to the order of men who have
no sympathy with you. Even your ordi-
nary clothing you exchange for"-here
his Honor, raising his left arm, pointed
to it with the index finger of his right
hand-"striped clothes, the stripes not
running lengthwise, like those, but SO
round and round, like a coon's tail"

William HOgarth.

The celebrated painter Hogarth was
once employed to paint the portrait of a
nobleman not remarkable for personal
beauty. The artist executed it with his
happiest manner, but with rigid fidelity.
The peer, disguised at the exact coun-
terpart ofhimself did not feel disposed to
pay for the picture. After some time
had elapsed and numerous unsuccessful
attempts had been made to obtain pay
ment the painter sent him the following
card: "Mr. Hogarth's respects to Lord
=. Finding that he does not mean to
have the picture drawn for him Lord
is informed again of Mr.. Hogarth's press
ing necessity for money. If therefore,
his Lordship does not send for it in three
days it will be disposed of with the ad-
dition of a tail, and some other append
ages, to Mr.. Pan, the famous wild beast
man, Nh. Hogarth having given the gen.
tleman a conditional promise of it for an
exhibition picture on his Lordship's re-,
fusal." The intimation had the desired
effect.
Hogarth was once applied to by a GER
tain nobleman to paint on his staircase a
representation of the destruction of
Pharaoh's host in the Red Sea. In at
tempting to fix upon the price Hogarth
became disguised with the misery con-
duct. of his patron, who was unwilling to
give more than half the real value of the
picture. At last, out of all patience,
he agreed to his terms. The nobleman
O was told that the work was finished.
Surprised at such expedition, he i'm
mediately called to examine it, and
found the space painted all over red.
"Zoundsl" said the purchaser, "what
have you here? I ordered a scene of
the Red Sea-" 1.-The Red Sea you
have" said the painter. "But where
are the Israelites?" ''They have all
gone over" ''And where are the
Egyptians?" ''They are all drowned. -
The miser's confusion could only be
equaled by the haste with which he paid
his bill.

"a Great Moral LESSON,

Those who pass "the boxes" wherein
the aims of the congregation are put,
see many moral lessons, but non more
graphic than this
At a meeting of some colored breth-
rem it was decided to make a collection.
The President concluded to pass the hat
himself, and, in order to encourage the
others he put in a ten-cent piece. After
the collection, during which every hand
had been in the hat, the President ap-
preached the table, turned the hat up
side down, and not even his own contri-
button dropped out.
He opened his eyes with astonish-
ment, and exclaimed, Else chen lost de
ten cents I started wild !"
Then there was CONSERVATION on the
faces of the assembly. It was evidently
a hopeless case, and was summed up by
one brother, who rose in his place and
said solemnly, "Dar pears to be a great
moral lesson roun' heah somewhat"

Rirds in Religoland.

Heligoland is the most celebrated
station in the world for studying the
migration of birds. This little island Is
hardly a hundred acres in extent-an
isolated, triangular rock of red sand
stone, with perpendicular cliffs 200 or.
800 feet in height all around it. 1t is
mostly cultivated, and its resident birds
are hardly more than a dozen species ;
but in spring and autumn migrating
birds make it a resting-place, and these
are watched for and shot Oh trapped by
almost the whole population, and the
results have been carefully chronicled
for the last twenty-five years by Mr..
Gatke, an experienced resident ornithol-
ogist. The amazing result is that as
many species of birds have been OBJ
tanned in this minute islet as In any
country in Europe, while the vast num-
Der of the migrating focks is shown by
the fact that $1,000 larks have some
times been caught in one night.

A Romance Of History.

The romantic union and cruel death of
Agness Bernauer nave embalmed her
memory, and she still lives in song and
story. She was the beautiful and anna
BILE daughter of a poor citizen of Augs-
burg, in the fifteenth century. Duke
Albrecht, sole 10 of the reinging Duke
Ernst, saw her at a tournament given in
his honor by the mobiles of Bavaria, and
~irrecoverably lost his heart to the charm
ing maid. Albrecht, young, handsome,
brave and very proud, made her ac-
q~uaintance and wooed her ~passionately.
She loved him in return, though she
was too pure and prudent to listen to his
suit until he had promised to make her
his wife.
He kept his promise. They were Sc
cretly welded, andiwent for their honey
moon to the Castle of Vohbburg, inheri-
ted by the young duke from his mother.
His father, knowing nothing of the ro-
mantle alliance, proposed that his son
should marry Anna, daughter of Erich,
Duke of Brunswick, to which the young
man very naturally, under the circum-
stances, would not listen. His stubborn
opposition opened the fathers eyes to
the mesalliances, and he resolved to I'M
do it.
Ernst accordingly contrived that Al
brecht should be excluded from a tourna-
ment he was anxious to take part in at
Regensburg, on account Of his living, as
was alleged, in concubinage, contrary to
the rules of chivalry. Albrecht then
swore that Agnes wa his lawful wife;
but his oath was not accepted; he was
still debarred from entering the list. He
gave his wife q sumptuous Tetinue,
placed her in the Castle of Straubing,
and caused her to be honored as a prin-
cess. But she, with a sad foreboding,
prepared an oratory and a tomb in q
Carmelite convent of the town.
During the life of Albrecht's uncle,
Duke William, Ernst made no further eff
fort to interfere with the lovers, for he
stood in awe of his brother, who was
deeply attached to his gallant nephew.
But William having died, the anger OF
the father broke out afresh, and in the
absence of his son caused Agnes arrest
and trial for sorcery, and its exercise on
the lord. The trial was of purse a farce.
She was quickly condemned to be
drowned in the Danube. She was thrown
into the river in the presence of the
populace, and, floating by the current
toward the shore, one of the execution,
ers twisted a long pole in her golden hair
and held her under the water until she
was dead.
Maddened at the atrocity, Albrecht
combined with the other enemies of his
father, made war upon him, and laiG
waste his country. Ernst sued in vaiI
for pardon, but at last the Emperor Sigis
mund interfered and placated his right
eous wrath. The young duke afterwart
married Anna of Brunswick, but neve
ceased t. worship the name of poo
Agnes. He raised a beautiful monu
ment, as his father had raised a chapel
to her memory, and often visited it tx
weep and pray.
